Jubilee walked upstairs to the pantry: "You won't want her, trust me, she's not fit for church work." ”

"Oh......" The priestess looked at Lin Meng with some surprise.

"Huh?! This is not true! He loves to talk nonsense! Lin Meng leaned against the counter and stuck out her tongue at the Jubilee.

She frowned, puffed out her cheeks, and looked back at the priestess. Finally, he cleared his throat and stood up straight: "Hello! Welcome! How are you today? What about your friends? ”

The priestess shrugged: "I told him to wait in the dungeon!" If I bring him back here, maybe he'll do something! ”

Lin Meng replied with a smile: "It's okay, he looks pretty good." She waited for a moment, remembering what the priestess wanted: "Ah! ”

She leaned down and grabbed the hilt of her sword, but it was a bit laborious, the sword was too heavy.

"Do you need help?" The priestess asked.

Lin Meng smiled softly and scratched her cheek: "I'm sorry, I don't have much strength......"

"Oh, are you uncomfortable?" The priestess looked at the girl's deep dark circles. "May I?" She raised a hand, and a warm light shot out from her hand, enveloping Lin Meng before she could answer.

+ Status: [Lower Power Blessing]

Increases strength by 4 points in one hour

Lin Meng clenched her hands and looked down, a warm aura enveloping her body. It felt like sitting in the sun on a warm summer day, the spell that enveloped her sent a deep heat into her body.

"Thank you...... Is this divine magic? Lin Meng asked as he watched it dissipate.

After the light and warmth were completely gone, only the strong feeling in the bones remained. "I've never felt divine magic before."

"Really?" The priestess asked curiously. "It's unusual. Were you unhappy as a child? Everyone born in this city is. ”

Lin Meng paused and realized that she might have made a mistake.

"Ahh Uh......" She bent down, grabbed the sword again, and raised it. It's still a bit strenuous, but it's much easier than before, and then put it on the countertop.

"I'm uh...... I'm from the South! She lied.

"Oh?" The priestess's eyes widened, and her posture became unnatural, "I'm sorry, I didn't know! She said in a solemn, gloomy tone.

Lin Meng smiled and said, "It's okay. ”

She pushes her sword towards the priestess, trying to deflect the subject before her lies are revealed.

Suddenly a hand pressed on her hand, Lin Meng raised her head to look at the priestess, startled by her sudden advance.

"It's so much better here!" The priestess placed her hand on the back of Lin Meng's hand. Then she nodded encouragingly, like a kind mother.

"Huh? What? Lin Meng didn't understand the meaning of the words.

The priestess shook her head: "I understand, you don't have to say anything. If you need someone to talk to, you can find me at church in the evening. ”

Lin Meng tilted her head curiously, not quite sure what was going on.

"Uh...... Are you still satisfied? ”

"Huh? Oh! The priestess looked down at the sword and took her hand away from Lin Meng's hand, "Wow...... It's been fantastic. I don't see any traces of patching...... It looks like brand new! Did you fix it? ”

"yes!"

"It's an amazing thing for a craftsman...... You are very talented! The priestess said as she raised her sword and lifted it into the air effortlessly.

"Thank you! I repaired it all night! ”

"Thank you so hard! I'll reprimand that guy when I get back! ”

Lin Meng's body leaned forward: "No, no!" It's okay, I had a great time. I love working. ”

The priestess looked at her, then at the sword, and then narrowed her eyes. "Huh?" She leaned over and pulled her sword closer to her face. A menu pops up. "This is not an enchanted sword...... Yes?! Ten percent?! She looked back at Lin Meng, a little shocked. You got that too? How?! She looked at the sword, then at her, then at the sword.

Lin Meng scratched her cheek and replied a little nervously, "I'm uh...... ...... I like to work? It keeps me from thinking about anything else! Lin Meng said some inconsequential words awkwardly.

The priestess looked at Lin Meng with a gloomy face, and then put the sword back with a painful expression: "I can't afford to pay for magic. Did he ask you to do this? He's going to drain all my money! ”

Lin Meng looked down at the empty small brown satchel tied around the priestess's waist. Are enchantments really that expensive? Or did the priestess simply not have much money? Maybe it's a bit of both.

Lin Meng rubbed her arm. "Don't worry."

“… But? The priestess looked back at her.

Lin Meng smiled and blinked: "It's free!" Think of it as a donation to the church. ”

The priestess was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, we thank you very much. She put down her sword, pulled out the purse, turned it upside down so that all the coins fell into her palm, and placed them on the counter: "I promise we will reimburse you for the cost of two repairs." Lin Meng looked down at the pile of coins. Barely even 10 Orr.

"I've recently ...... I've been a little nervous lately! The priestess blushed a little and fiddled with her sleeve.

Apparently, these were all the woman's savings. Lin Meng wanted to tell her that these were all free, but she looked back at the priestess's determined eyes, so she had to smile and take the coin: "Okay!" I'll wait here. Don't take it too seriously! ”

Fixed: 1 [Great Broadsword] {Hallow} (Normal)

Obtain:

[{ 8 } Orr] !

The priestess looked at her with a complicated expression on her face, and then she picked up her sword and left without saying a word.

"Goodbye! Again! Lin Meng smiled goodbye.

The room was quiet.

"You handled it well!" A voice rang out.

"Ahh Lin Meng heard the voice coming from next to him and jumped to the side in surprise: "How long have you been standing there?!" ”

"It's been long enough to see you give us merch for free, you brain-filled idiot!" Jubilee shook her head: "But in this case, you are right to try to win her favor. ”

"Huh?! I didn't mean to do that! Lin Meng clenched her fists and protested: "I just want to behave better!" ”

Jubilee rolled her eyes: "Didn't you see her expression when she left?" ”

"What?" Lin Meng asked with a curious wink.

"'It's a great thing for a craftsman...... You are very talented! Jubilee repeated the priestess just now.

The girl thought for a moment: "Isn't this just a compliment?" She looks really nice. I bet the orcs must have eaten a lot, and the food must have cost them a lot! ”

"I feel her pain!" Jubilee voices are devoid of any emotion.

"Huh?" Lin Meng didn't understand.

"Did you tell her or that orc profession?"

"Of course not." Lin Meng thought for a while, then her eyes widened, and she understood at once.

"Exactly!" Jubilee picked up a box of potions and went to restock the shelves, which were still quite full: "The two of them are asking around. It could be some spy sent to investigate us. Be careful when talking to them later! ”

Lin Meng straightened up and looked at the open door through the empty storefront, not knowing what he was thinking.

The day passed uneventfully. Lin Meng happily went upstairs, opened the door and ran into her room, and jumped onto her new mattress with open arms.

She lay on it, face forward, and kicked her feet into the air excitedly. "Jubilee! I got a mattress! She buried her face in the blanket excitedly.

"yes...? You're in a lot of trouble! "Jubilee said very harshly.

Lin Meng raised his head and swayed his body back and forth: "It's so soft!" Come here! Try! ”

Jubilee sighed, closed the door for her, and said before leaving, "Heartless stupid girl! ”

"I'm not stupid!" Lin Meng protested and shouted behind her friend.

Only to hear the door slam shut behind him. Her head fell back to the soft mattress.

The night passed, and then the dawn of a new day broke. Lin Meng decided to buy some food for the two of them before opening the store today.

She stretched and yawned loudly, and stood in the square outside the city, near the entrance to the city, leaning against a tree. The girl looked curiously through the open door and looked into the distance along the path outside the door. The road leads to the distant horizon. She didn't know why she stopped here. Somehow, birdsong came from the canopy overhead, the hurried steps of people coming and going, and the morning sun gently caressed her, all of which made her want to stop and just stand here for a moment.

Looking out through the city gate and listening to the sound of the early morning, Lin Meng realized that he really didn't know anything about this place. Where does that road lead? Will it be the way to the "South"? What does this mean? Her eyes followed it until it disappeared into the dawn sky, and she wondered what her new life would have been like if she had walked to the right at the intersection at that time?

She now has a career, a place to live. But it's a whole new world that she hasn't really seen yet. She didn't know anything about it. In her previous life, she had always locked herself in her room.

Lin Meng tapped her chin with her fingers and looked down, and the black sleeves came into her sight, her new robe. She smiled and turned away from the gate and headed to the plaza ahead.

She didn't really think about leaving. It was more of a random thought, something that came to her out of the blue. A voice came out of her head called for adventure.

She loved it, even though the city wasn't perfect. But she found a place to call home, and she found a friend.

Lin Meng stopped and scratched her cheek.

About an hour before they opened, she circled the square, looking down at the many side streets she had never ventured through before. In order to suppress the little fire of adventure in her heart, she decided to finish one of them today.

The path she chose was winding and winding, feeling a little strange compared to the straight path of the main road. However, the streets are still quite wide and full of adventurers walking around, some walking towards the dungeon, talking loudly about their plans for the day, and not caring about the world. Others hurried from store to store in order to get their hands on their favourite items before the morning rush hour.

Lin Meng saw three people walking towards her from another direction, looking like ordinary adventurers.

"Have you heard about the murder?"

"Of course. They found another body! A man said.

"Another? Was there another one a while ago? ”

"So I only sleep in the guild!"

The girl watched them disappear into the crowd. Wasn't she here on the day it happened? She vaguely remembered that someone had talked about it. Wasn't that the first day she came? Or is this a new murder?

Lin Meng shook his head and continued to walk forward. The city is indeed a dangerous place, despite the fact that it gives the impression of being so quiet and harmonious on the outside.

On the way, she spotted an open-air stall in which a man was dressed in vegetables and meat skewers. Lin Meng stopped, smelling the rich smell in the air, mixed with smoke. Seeing that she seemed to be interested, the man waved his hand, and a ball of fire erupted, rolled in a circle, and wrapped around the kebab.

"Good morning, miss, are you hungry? Only 12 Orr per person! Man, she introduced.

Lin Meng, who was satisfied, smiled brightly, took the breakfast, and hurried home before it was cold. She paid a few more Orr for two small bagels that the man's shop also had.

Although she can be frugal enough to pay off the guild's debts. But there's time, and what's the use of money if you can't use it to get what you want?

(Lin Meng) Purchase: 2x [Red Meat Kebab] (Normal), 2x [Bagels] (Normal)

Pay:

[{ 28 } Or] !

[Red meat skewers] (General)

A long wooden skewer topped with delicious red meat and vegetables.

She walked into the store, half-expecting to see the Red Wizard standing outside, waiting to buy more potions. But their usual first customer of the day hasn't come yet.

"I'm back!"

Lin Meng's smile. "I don't know what these are, but I thought they looked good, so I bought them!"

Jubilee looked at her and adjusted the crystal chicken in front of him. "I think it's a good way to live, too."

"That's right!" Lin Meng nodded.

"Jubilee?" Ask Lin Meng. "We've saved some money, right?" She asked cautiously, "I want to fix something in the shop." I think we should get some new locks. She said as she bit into her bread.

"Are you still worried about that vampire?"

"A little bit!" Lin Meng didn't want to talk about it in more depth.

Jubilee sighed: "Well, hell, I guess that's why we started saving money!" When the store isn't busy, you can take care of those things. ”

"Thank you!" Lin Meng smiled and took a bite of her kebab, feeling that it tasted great. Then she took another bite of the somewhat burnt greens, which were a little bitter but not bad!

"Are you sure you don't want to share a room?" Lin Meng asked again without giving up.

"No, I don't want to share a room! Do you have to be so clingy? Jubilee took a bite of his food and spoke as he chewed,

In order to avoid this topic, Lin Meng took a bite of her bread and chewed it loudly so that Jubilee could hear her eating and did not have to answer immediately.

After a while, he swallowed his food and said, "I don't want to discuss this." She looked at her kebabs.

Lin Meng turned his head, looked at the solid wood counter between them, and suddenly said, "Jubilee? ”

"Why?"

"Thank you for being my friend."

"yes!" Jubilee simply responded in an awkward tone.

The two finished their meal in what began to be awkward silence, preparing for the day.

Soon, the time came for them to open the door, and Lin Meng opened the door and looked out, expecting to see the Red Wizard. However, there was a crowd of people bustling around her and walking straight to the potion area.

"These are all good!" Said a man in a shredded metal shoulder armor.

The team's priest rubbed his head, "I don't know what it tastes like, though. ”

"Looks good? I love it," said the magician next to him.

Lin Meng looked at the crowded customers. Obviously, today is going to be a busy day. Jubilee seems to be right, they will come back after drinking all the potions they bought last week.

"What's the deal with these necklaces?"

"One can resist all? Hey! A man screamed and looked at Jubilee.

"What?"

"How much do these cost?" He asked, pointing to the necklace in his hand.

"The label reads, 51 Olles each," Jubilee was clearly a little angry.

"That's the price?!" The man asked, shocked, and looked at the necklace again. The crowd that heard the movement walked from the shelves of the soul potion towards the necklace shelves that Lin Meng was filled with.

The man with the broken shoulder armor grabbed four and walked to the counter.

"That's going to be 204 Orr." Jubilee looked up at his shoulder. "Need to be repaired? It can be done tomorrow morning. Then he added, "10% less than the standard rate because you were our first customer of the day." Pay at the time of pickup. ”

The man thought for a moment, pushed the shoulder armor with his hand, untied it, and placed it on the counter.

"Sounds good." He slapped the money on the counter, took them and counted them into the jar below.

The man left, Lin Meng continued to check out, and the team began to move quickly. Little Soul Potions, their original bestsellers, still sell well, but the necklace is the most attractive today, which surprises Lin Meng. Are they that good? It's just that when she ran up the stairs for the fourth time, she realized that she had a whole bunch of armor to repair tonight, and how much would they charge? This deal is really too good to be missed.

Jubilee had complained to her that the price of repairs was too low, but she insisted that by building a good relationship with adventurers, it would be easier for them to gain a long-term customer base. Now it's a small loss of profit, but in exchange for a long-term gain for repeat customers.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, pushed the door open, and threw her armor on top of it. Obviously, repairs will also be a huge business opportunity. Lin Meng sighed tiredly and ran down the stairs again.

It's going to be a very busy day.

Lin Meng came out of the counter and exhaled a deep tired sulk from her chest, her soul seemed to be trying to leave her body. "Jubilee~" she complained, "I'm tired."

Jubilee did not answer, and he sighed in an equally tired tone: "Today is going to be a busy day. I told you. ”

Lin Meng chose to express her dissatisfaction with the pain in her body through a long yawn: "At least I don't have to make any potions tonight!" Relieved, she says, "We have a lot more in our pantry. They will work better than usual! I've done hundreds......

Jubilee shrugged: "I told you that crafting ability stagnates under normal circumstances, so you need to craft a lot to upgrade your experience points, and once you make some real soul potions instead of these 'low-level' potions, then we can also increase the price." ”

"Oops! Dislike! Lin Meng jumped up, looked at the fingers flicking above her head, and frowned: "We still have work to do, you can sleep later." ”

"Since you don't need to refine medicine tonight, then you can go upstairs and cultivate, you have to get it done tomorrow." Jubilee looked around at the looted shop and said, "I'll take care of everything here." ”

"It's so decided~" Lin Meng got up and relaxed his body as he spoke: "We should hire someone, Jubilee." It would be too much if I had to make and fix everything on my own. ”

Jubilee crossed his arms: "Your reasons are good" He held up a finger: "But we have some important issues to consider!" ”

"Uh......"

"To be exact, only you can mix potions, only you can make bone daggers and necklaces, and only you can do all the repairs without a real foundry, tailor's workshop, or anything. In the best-case scenario, we can consider hiring someone to help with the day-to-day operations of the place, which may give you more time to do your business. But this is risky...... If they see you......" Jubilee shook his head: "Let's do it first!" We'll talk about it tomorrow! ”

"Okay~" Lin Meng responded with some frustration.
