Lin Meng yawned as he walked up the stairs to start tonight's repair work. Thankfully, it wasn't that easy. All she had to do was close the curtains to keep the room dark, and then she dipped the device into the pot while channeling her energy into it. She was still using her old stick, the wood was soaking wet, but it still worked well, and she was too tired to make another batch. In addition, this crafting illustrated book is only suitable for moonless nights, so it must stick to the next cycle anyway.

Work progressed quickly, and the twenty-seven pieces of gear scattered around her room, from sheet metal armor, to curved chain mail, to some softer fabrics and robes, and even the odd dagger capital, were repaired in an hour. It was an efficient process, and the hardest part for her was lifting particularly heavy or large repairs into the pot, especially taking care not to tip the pot over, which she almost missed several times.

When it was done, she told Jubilee, who had also just finished the work, and then the night was over. Falling asleep on the mattress for two consecutive nights, Lin Meng fell asleep earlier than ever, and when Lin Meng finally relaxed, a tight force flowed through the entire muscles of her lower back.

[+1 Strength]!

[+1 Agility]!

Morning soon came, Lin Meng woke up, feeling more energetic than the day before, she was ready for a new day, she went to the town again, this time to the Adventurer's Guild, to pay off her huge debt. Luckily, she still had some pocket money left.

Repaid - { 1000 } Or] !

-{ 6998 Orr Remaining Expiration}-

Lin Meng smiled and waved goodbye to the bartender who had become familiar, and to Lin Meng's surprise, this time she responded to her in the same way. She couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to stand in this there all day. Is it frustrating, or is it getting used to it after a while? The next time a bartender comes to their store, she should ask about herself and the guild. Lin Meng kept it in mind when she went to continue exploring the city and find some new breakfast food.

Lin Meng found a place that sold sausage bread, the kind that Jubilee gave her on the first day of the store's opening. It seems like it's a pretty distant thing. There was also some extra money, which she bought extra and wrapped it in paper so she could keep it in her bag.

(Lin Meng) Buy: 4x [Buttermilk Sausage Bread] (Normal)

In order to

[{ 72 } Or] !

[Buttermilk sausage bread] (normal)

A thick, juicy sausage wrapped in cheese bread. It is served with pickled vegetables and a thick vegetable sauce.

Weight: 0.136 kg

Value: 18

However, Lin Meng thought as she walked, although their upstairs pantry had a lot of dry bread, dried meat, and dried fruits. But it's basically different from what she just bought...... It's definitely different.

She continued on her way, the road getting wider and wider, and she saw another square in front of her. Houses here look expensive. These are elaborate wooden and marble structures that exude an air of prestige and luxury.

The sound of the bell caught her attention, and when Lin Meng entered the square, she raised her head and stared at the towering cathedral in the distance. The massive marble structure towers into the sky. Colourful stained glass windows reflect sunlight in a rainbow of colours, and a bell reverberates throughout the city on top of a tower. A grand semicircular staircase leads to the majestic cathedral.

She watched as all sorts of people poured in, and they didn't look like priests. to like a normal person. Apparently they are all believers. When Lin Meng walked towards the huge building, her heart was a little uneasy, her eyes followed the stairs and looked up at the open wooden door, and then the sound of the choir sounded from a distance.

She stopped, just on the edge of the lowest steps.

"Curiosity kills the cat!" Lin Meng muttered, didn't think about it anymore, and hurriedly turned around. She was glad to see the church, but she wouldn't choose to go in rashly. If the church has some kind of ...... What about something like the magical anti-witch realm? Obviously, she wasn't sure if such a thing existed, but she wasn't sure.

"Hey!" A voice came from above, and the girl's body shook, and she turned to look at the priestess who came down the steps, the orc's companion. It took her a long time to walk down the stairs, and Lin Meng stood there nervously, wondering how she was going to escape.

"Good morning," Lin Meng smiled and waved with suppressed nervousness and trepidation.

"Good morning! Nice to see you here! The priestess smiled and said, now that she had gone down the steps, she gasped: "Have you come to hear the sermon?" She was a little excited, even though Lin Meng noticed that her tanned skin looked a little pale today.

Lin Meng took a step back and waved his hand. "Ahh Belch...... No, I'm just walking around. We're about to open so ......"

The priestess looked around cautiously to see if anyone was nearby, then leaned over to her and whispered with one hand to her mouth. "That's a shame!"

"What about you? Shouldn't you be in there? ”

The priestess waved her hand: "No, it's not mandatory, besides, I have to earn some money today." I'm about to go to the dungeon. ”

The priestess's stomach suddenly gurgled and she could only cough loudly to hide her embarrassment.

"Are you hungry?" Lin Meng reached into her bag, took out a bagel and handed it to her. The priestess's eyes widened and her fingers trembled, but she coughed again, pulled herself together, and straightened up in an elegant posture.

"Thank you, no need!" She said it, but her eyes kept staring at the food in Lin Meng's hand.

Lin Meng squinted his eyes, and couldn't help but push the bagels towards the hungry woman, Lin Meng took out the second one, sat on the steps, took a bite, and then looked up at the confused priestess with a smile.

"Thank you." The priestess looked down at the food in her hand, and finally chose to sit on the steps with Lin Meng.

Lin Meng swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Don't care about this, I can understand the taste of starvation, if you go to the dungeon hungry, you may do something stupid there!" The girl smiled meekly.

"Empirically?" The priestess asked with some sarcasm.

"I almost died..."

"Ahh Sorry, I didn't expect that. ”

"It's okay!" She smiled calmly.

The priestess looked down at the bagel in her hand uncomfortably: "Why do you always give me things?" Potions, enchanted weapons, and now this? You know I'm not...... You know......? ”

Lin Meng tilted her head, not knowing what she was thinking, what she should say, and tapped her fingers on her cheek on this very familiar question: "The only reason why I'm slowly getting better now is that someone did their best to help me!" She took another bite of her breakfast: "Before I came here, I actually wanted to be a priestess, you know?" ”

"Really?"

"Uh-huh! Because I think I can make people happy, and then they'll like me. Maybe the idea is a little naïve! ”

"Why?"

Lin Meng looked up at the bright morning sky above them: "I don't know! I just want people to be happy, just to make them like me. She smiled: "It may be a bit selfish, but it's true." ”

"Hmm......" The priestess looked down at the bagel in her hand again, "My name is Basil!" As he spoke, he took another big bite of the bagel in his hand.

"Hmm!" Lin Meng stared at the sky and thought, realizing that she still wanted to do something for the Jubilee to show her gratitude.

Lin Meng sat on the floor of the store, eating her second breakfast with Jubilee and telling him about what had happened in the morning.

"You idiot! You deliberately ran to be an idiot this time, but ......" he sighed: "Maybe it's also a good thing, like we said last time, multiple friends and multiple roads!" ”

Lin Meng breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Jubilee was not angry with her this time. "Yes! She might say good things about us to the church! Moreover, she looks really good, but ......" she thought for a moment: "Isn't the salary of the sacrifice high?" ”

"Sacrifice? Well, yes, they got a bunk and a dress from the church, but they had to pay for it themselves. As with their profession, they are all out of pocket. Usually they join the party of adventurers and enter the dungeon. ”

Lin Meng finished her food, wiped her fingers on her robe, and looked around to see if anyone was paying attention. Of course, they were also asked to set aside a portion to the church. So they didn't make much money in the end! Jubilee explained. A person like a priest, a priest, etc., can't do much, they're not really aggressive types, so they rely on a group of people to make money. There's no way around it. ”

"Hmm...... But if the two team up, she can still earn fifty percent, right? ”

"Uh...... Probably, right? You'll have to ask her. But a low-ranking priest and whether it is an orc or a warrior, they will not go beyond the twelfth rank...... Maybe it's level thirteen now, because he has a magic weapon. I think that at her level she will be able to get rid of ghosts. So they might be able to make a little more than a hundred a day. Divide it in two, then remove what they gave to the church, and you'll know what they're earning. Jubilee stood up and adjusted his mask: "Don't worry about these things anymore!" That's not what you should care about! ”

Lin Meng also stood up: "Ghosts? Do they drop items? ”

"Of course? Why do you ask that? Jubilee asked.

The girl blinked blankly: "Where do they put things?" ”

"What?"

"Ghosts, after death, where do the items come from? Do they have ghost pockets? Lin Meng put a finger on his chin and thought, "If that's the case, why did the ghost die and the object became touchable?" …… How do ghosts die? Isn't it already dead? ”

“… What? Ghosts drop some body ectoplasm. Commonly known as spiritual quality. ”

Her fingers tapped her chin, "Can we buy some?" ”

"What are you going to do with it?" Jubilee asked suspiciously, narrowing his eyes.

The girl's eyes lit up: "I want to do something." I have a ......"

Jubilee raised his hand to stop her: "I don't want to hear that again." If someone offers us anything, we buy it and you have the option to make something out of it. ”

"Okay!"

The following morning began as usual. There were already quite a few people standing outside. Not as much as the day before, but still a lot. In Lin Meng's view, their customer's pattern seems to be repeating itself every week. A huge surge that then slowly recedes until the next peak comes a week later.

Necklaces and daggers are in-demand items that attract most customers, but only one is needed per customer. Jubilee Repair Philosophy seems to be their first "stable" source of income, and things are on track. There are repairs every day, and even if no one wants to buy something, they still make money.

"It's so good!" The man from the day before said, turning his shoulder armor in the sun: "I can't see cracks or hammer marks or anything like that!" ”

"It looks like new!" His fellow magicians stared at him in agreement.

Their pastor said, turning to face Lin Mengren, who was standing behind the counter smiling proudly. "How did you do that?"

Lin Meng raised his finger and blinked: "Magic!" ”

As the crowd walked forward, twenty-six other people from the previous day also came to check on their maintenance equipment, all of them with varying degrees of praise just like the people in front of them. Jubilee was responsible for the pricing of the repair, as Lin Meng did not know how much it would cost. Each item has a different price, depending on the size, material, and degree of damage.

To her dismay, the Crystal Chicken did not sell as much as she had hoped.

Lin Meng felt a little stronger than yesterday, but it was a very tiring job to run up the stairs to clean up the armor and weapons they left behind, and the entire wall of her room was covered with weapons, armor, and all kinds of equipment. Lin Meng leaned against the wall, sweat dripping from her forehead, panting, she threw a robe on it, it felt more difficult than walking through the dungeon.

To her delight at least, when she returned downstairs, Jubilee told her that they had bought some "spiritual qualities". Lin Meng looked at the small translucent glowing, silver liquid jar with a smile on her face, thanked Jubilee Nian, and then happily returned to her room.

As time passed, as evening approached, Lin Meng couldn't help but notice that the Red Wizard hadn't come to get her soul potion today. Maybe she's finally quitting?

The rest of the day went on like this, and soon it was evening, and the two of them closed the door for the day exhausted.

"Jubilee~" Lin Meng's legs were weak and he leaned against the counter and shouted.

Jubilee was also visibly exhausted today, but just sighed and sat down against the counter next to her, as exhausted as she was. "It's time for us to hire someone. Pay him 50 Orr, maybe we'll be easier. ”

"An hour?! This seems really high! Lin Meng exclaimed with some surprise.

"What? No, one day, stupid! Jubilee Road.

"Oh......" Lin Meng tapped his chin with his fingers. This seems to be really low. ”

"Only then is it in our best interest."

Lin Meng shook his head: "But it's much less dangerous than going to the dungeon, right!" ”

Jubilee turned his head to her and stared for a moment.

"What...?" The girl asked nervously.

"You've been reading all the time! It's the smartest thing I've ever heard you say. ”

Lin Meng only smiled meekly, but also tried to convince Jubilee that they should be paid according to a percentage of daily profits, rather than a fixed amount, so that their employees would be motivated to work harder. Jubilee was apparently exhausted and didn't want to quarrel about it, so he finally agreed.

The two of them were ready to finish the rest of the work and divide the work as before, so that Lin Meng could complete her mountain of restoration work, but to her pain, the new batch of small soul potions and antidotes she had made was still the original effect, and she really wanted to make something better.

Small Soul Potions: 19 Orr each - 110 sold = +2090

Antidote: 15 Orle of each type - 24 sold = +360

Bone Daggers: 49 Orr each - 2 sold = +98

Odd and mantissa numbers: about 40 Orr each - 0 sold = +0

Crystal Chickens: 30 Orr each - 0 sold = ~0

Mushroom Cap (Blue): - Sell 0, Buy 41 (6 each) = -246

Mushroom Cap (Orange): - Sell 0, Buy 30 (5 each) = -150

Goblin Teeth (Small) - Sell 0, Buy 48 (1 each) = -48

Iron Bar - Sell 0, Buy 3 = -20

Magic Amulet (Glass) - Sold 17 = +867

Tote Bag - 19 = +95 sold

Ectoplasm - Sell 0, Buy 1 (13 each) = -13

Repairs (various) - 27 sold = +874

Total (total) = +3867

5% merchant guild deduction = -193

12% tax = -464

10% savings and maintenance = -386

Total (net) = +2822 Orr

Earnings = 1411 Orr per person

When night fell, Lin Meng dragged her exhausted body upstairs and fell on the bed.

The next day was repeated as before, although the pace of repairs was also slowed down, as most of the repairs were now completed. However, occasionally someone comes in just to make repairs. Some of them also left with potions or necklaces they bought. Since it was not too busy today, Lin Meng began to renovate the store with the consent of Jubilee.

It's an old wooden house, and it's also a superficial job that she can do, and now it has a long way to go. Handle repair gear, haul some leftover wood downstairs, and use her abilities to cut it into planks. She tore off some of the old planks on the side of the wall and replaced them with new ones.

(Lin Meng) use: [craftsman: cutting]

(Lin Meng) use: [craftsman: installation]

These jobs have little to no impact on personal safety, but wind protection is also important.

"Now it's spring, what about winter?" The girl muttered, remembering the cold nights she had experienced here, and promised that Jubilee would deal with the issue of insulation as soon as possible.

Jubilee just shrugged: "Why bother? You can wear more clothes! ”

Lin Meng puffed out her cheeks, turned around and tore off the next plank, put the old wood next to her and took a new one. She obviously didn't have enough wood to renovate the whole house, and she didn't have enough time. Little by little, she can fix it. Soon the wall was finished and she had the next idea.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she leaned over and put her hand on a heavy iron ingot they had bought today, cut off a long horizontal bar, and set it aside.

(Lin Meng) use: [craftsman: cutting]

From the rest, she made a hollow tube with openings at both ends, as well as a small chain.

(Lin Meng) use: [Craftsman: small iron chain]

【Small Chain】(Normal)

She leaned her hands against the door, fastened the "tube" to the wood above the handle, and then slid the small chain in and fastened it to the tube.

(Lin Meng) use: [craftsman: installation]

Jubilee looked at her from behind the counter: "Chain locks? The door is already locked? He asked curiously.

Lin Meng turned around and raised two fingers: "It should be two!" ”

"Uh...... Of course! Jubilee tilted his head and said. He lifted his finger and pointed to the spot next to her, "You know there's a huge window there...... Right? If someone wants to come in, they won't choose to walk through the door! ”

Lin Meng chose to ignore Jubilee's taunt: "Can I enter your room?" I want to lock our door too! ”

"Huh? Why...? Jubilee asked suspiciously.

The girl shrugged, then bent down to pick up her materials and said, "The devil won't let us sleep peacefully!" ”

Lin Meng finished the lock on the door, feeling deeply satisfied, the room of the Jubilee had been completed, she looked around the room, the chaos in the room was exactly the same as the last time she was here. Apparently, Jubilee did not clean his room very often. She wondered if she should dispose of these broken crystal shards? She didn't want Jubilee to hurt herself. The girl pondered, looking into the broken mirror. She felt a sense of warmth as she saw a small, withered pink flower sticking out of one of their empty potions vials and extending onto the dresser next to her. This flower is the one she gave to Jubilee in the boss room on the eighth floor of the dungeon.

Was there the last time she spent the night here? Lin Meng tilted her head, wondering if Jubilee had secretly hidden the flowers before letting her in.

She shrugged and continued to work. What else needs to be done? Well, the walls need to be repaired to prevent the cold air from seeping in. The windows can be replaced with some shutters, especially the large windows downstairs. She stroked her chin and looked around for something more.

The staircase could also be reinforced with handrails for more safety, and she didn't want to break her neck because of this.

The floor was worn out and needed to be replaced. But it's not a security issue, it's just for the sake of aesthetics. Maybe a little less trouble with some rugs? Plus, it helps to keep you warmer.

Maybe she should do some night lights? She tapped her chin, maybe a couple of crystal bottles, filled with her potion. If she has some more wood, she can make a small frame and put some in the hallway. Kind of like ...... Lantern.

She stopped halfway through.

"That's a great idea!" She was amazed at her ingenuity. If she can find a way to make the potion glow a little brighter, they can sell magic lanterns that never go out. If she seals the crystal bottles better, they can even work in water or rain.
