Lin Meng didn't want anything like that to happen. But it did happen.

The orc? He's a friendly guy who doesn't actually know him except for a few brief encounters they have in the store. But the darkness of this world can take away a life so easily, and that's what keeps her awake tonight. This evil force is in the same city as them. Whoever it is, maybe it's all near her home.

She put on her skirt, carried a bottle of potion, and walked barefoot into the hallway. In addition, Lin Meng couldn't help but wonder, did the orcs buy a necklace? Did he buy a necklace? The cursed one? She should know more about curses in the Spellbooks. Maybe it's her fault that he's dead? Basil is so tired? What would this woman do without her only friend? She couldn't go far in the dungeon alone. She will have to look for a new teammate, but ...... Is it that easy?

Lin Meng shook his head, opened the door of the storage room, nervously grabbed a long wooden plank, and went downstairs to start work.

Looking out the window, she was somewhat expecting a dark face to be attached to it, staring at her from the outside. But there was nothing but her own reflection, and her pale face was illuminated by the soft glow of the potion, making her features look somewhat distorted.

"There's a witch in the window!" She muttered to herself.

Putting down the wood, she began to fortify the room.

Hours passed, and she ran between the first and second floors several times, although she tried her best to keep quiet and didn't want to wake Jubilee. Her friend was a cold man, and she didn't like his opinion of Basil, but she understood that Jubilee was there for a reason. Maybe that's how living in this city affects you?

She fastened the wood to the wall and yawned silently as she used her abilities.

(Lin Meng) use: [craftsman: installation]

Lin Meng also has her own ideas. Maybe if Jubilee is emotionally cold, then she has to be warm? Maybe that will make things worse. Lin Meng thought wildly and closed the wooden shutters for testing.

She stared contentedly at the downstairs window, now fortified, and felt a little better when she stood alone in the dark shop, listening to the whispering cold wind still oozing from the walls.

Lin Meng narrowed her tired eyes, glanced at the dark corner in the distance, packed up her materials and prepared to go upstairs.

Lin Meng stopped on the stairs, tucked the remaining materials under his arm, and lowered his gaze to his feet. She listened to the wind howling outside, and stood there froze for a moment. Body and soul froze, and an instinctive feeling told her a simple truth. It's over, it's time to sleep.

Quietly raising her eyes, she walked into the pantry and put down the remaining materials. Back in her room, she looked down at her bed, at the somewhat old, simple sheets and blankets.

Deciding not to let the dark thoughts affect her anymore, Lin Meng clenched her fists, grabbed her bag, returned downstairs with a bone dagger, a necklace and a bottle of moon water, opened the door, and strode out. Standing in the empty square, ignoring the cold wind on his skin, he stubbornly walked towards the dungeon.

[Equip the Bone Dagger]

[Equip the Magic Weapon]

As soon as she walked in, a blue aura enveloped her, and the girl took a deep breath to calm herself, feeling the damp, earthy smell of the damp dungeon rush into her chest. Opening her eyes, she strode down the stairs and pulled her magic book out of her bag.

There's not much she can do. She's not strong, she's not smart, she's not pretty, she's not brave, she's not flexible, she's not talented. If anything, the only reason she's been able to get this far is because she's got luck on her side, but she can't rely on it forever. When difficulties come, she can't rely on luck to protect her and her friends. She felt it. That feeling. That...... A blunt knife, like when it rains on "Vampire Night", echoes in her head.

Maybe it's something she instinctively knows? Get an idea of what happens in the world after the sun goes down. It's like she senses a vampire coming. But there's one thing –

It doesn't matter where it comes from, when darkness falls. No amount of luck can stop it.

She dropped her bag off her shoulder and walked down the last steps, staring at Mr. Mushroom's cave. Her other hand picked up the wet magic book and rummaged through the slimy pages, looking for something that could help her. She didn't know what it was, but there must have been something, anything that could help her.

She has to be strong enough to do it on her own. When it comes, she must be able to face the looming ghost.

Her gaze swept over the page of the tome that had been shown to her. Regarding her own abilities, she reads the section detailing the curse and its modifications.

Curse - Modified

Due to the nature of the beast, cursed spells are negative in nature and are designed to cause harm to the recipient in some way. The curse can never be removed. However, there are three ways to modify the curse.

"Dog hair......" Lin Meng muttered to herself while rubbing her head. Are there any dogs here? Actually, isn't that a sentence? 'Dog hair'? It may not mean a real dog. The girl touched her chin and muttered to herself.

She looked at the second option to modify the curse: "True love kiss? She nervously looked around the empty floor, her face flushed, and then at the last line, but to her dismay, it was erased.

She had only one way left, and as she put the spellbook back in her bag, her gaze drifted to the dagger in her hand. Should she ......? “…… Jubilee doesn't have to know. ”

The girl plucked three hairs from her head and wound them around the blade of the dagger......

"You woke up early!" Jubilee downstairs.

Standing behind the counter, Lin Meng looked at her friend with tired but relieved eyes. She spent the night in the dungeon. This is a tricky task for her due to her poor health and stats, but the cursed dagger does work, and with a few little tricks to steal luck from Mr. Mushroom, she manages to defeat it. It was a real hand-to-hand fight, and she had to fight it. She needs to be as strong as she can and, more importantly, she needs to find a way to protect her new life.

The effect of the curse modification was surprisingly good, and she wished she had read the curse part earlier, and maybe she would be able to do something with the necklace. The new dagger now floats in her inventory, and if she finds the necklace, she'll throw it in too, leaving it there forever. She hated it, but she couldn't afford to waste a tool as useful as inventory because of some kind of fear of black holes.

"I can't sleep," she told half of the lie.

Jubilee walked through the room to look at the new blinds and walked over to inspect them: "Not badly done!" It's not easy for someone who isn't even a carpenter. ”

Lin Meng kicked her bag aside with her boots and pushed it under the counter. "Thank you! I wanted to do something, so I thought I'd keep working. Yes...... I hope you don't mind if I make it unauthorized."

Jubilee opened the blinds and closed them a few times, nodded, seemed satisfied, and then looked back at her: "This is our team house. You live here too. ”

The tired girl smiled: "You are such a good person, Jubilee." ”

Jubilee's eyes dodged, but he didn't say anything.

"I had an idea last night," Lin Meng said, knocking the Adventurer's Guild's iron key on the counter. "We should bring everything we have, it's safe in the Adventurer's Guild!"

Jubilee walked up to her and shrugged. "It's not like I haven't thought about it, but have you thought about what that means?"

Lin Meng tilted his head: "Huh? ”

"Elixir? Armor that we need to repair? Weapons? All of this, we need to bring it here during the day and then transport them back to the guild after closing the shop and get all the work done there. Jubilee shook his head: "There is not enough time in one day." We just need to be careful, especially since the church is watching over us. Jubilee sighed. Perhaps we have now gotten rid of their support. I think they're very happy with our current 'work'. ”

"About that ......," Lin Meng said carefully, "Can we ask Basil if she wants to work here?" ”

"Nope. Are you stupid?! "Jubilee hands on his hips.

"But she needs to make money, and we need to find someone to help us!" Lin Meng protested: "I'm a little unbearable, Jubilee~" She lowered her head and leaned against the counter, whimpering.

"Do you want to hire someone to investigate us? Did I hear me right? Jubilee tilted his head: "Do you want a real priestess to see how you work?" ”

"I'll be careful!" She protested: "Another......" Lin Meng raised a finger: "Shouldn't you let your enemies get closer?" Lin Meng continued, rubbing her arm. …… I feel sorry for her, Jubilee. ”

"Nope. If she knew your truth, you wouldn't like her anymore. I can assure you. ”

Lin Meng continued. "If it makes you feel better, we can put a door upstairs, block the stairs, lock it. She can sit behind the counter during the day. ”

Jubilee waved: "It's a terrible idea. I mean......" he thought for a moment. "If we incorporate her into us, it's sure to make a deal with the church trusting us! At this rate, they may make us saints. But this is beyond my risk estimates. ”

He shook his head and said, "We have no reason to make this gamble. We can hire any fool from the guild who won't ask so many questions. Hell, we could even ask that weird red wizard if she'd work for potions instead of money. ”

"Please~?"

"No way!"

"Please~?!"

"No way!"

"Jubilee!"

As the girl continued her plea, Jubilee clutched his hood: "Your idea will kill us, you idiot!" ”

"Yay~" Lin Meng shouted happily.

Jubilee angrily raised a finger and pointed at the girl with a smile on her face: "It's your bad luck anyway!" If something goes wrong, if she finds out, don't expect me to save you a second time. ”

"Before the first torch is lit," he said, "I will run out of that door alone with a bag full of money, and leave you to be burned alive!" ”

Lin Meng frowned and asked, "Do you really know?" She rubbed her arm again: "If I want to escape, I will definitely call you!" She muttered, looking down to the side.

Jubilee did not respond. They both stood there in silence until her friend sighed, waved her away, and walked over to the crystal chicken: "Pay her 50 Orr a day, plus 2% of our daily sales!" After Jubilee finished speaking, he began to continue sorting out the shelves: "If she accepts, she can work at the counter." But you have to lock that upstairs door! ”

Lin Meng finally laughed again! Her happy mood temporarily overshadowed the exhaustion of her body.

The square began to be crowded with bustling people, and unexpectedly a large number of people rushed to the store, which surprised Lin Meng. After a hectic few days, they thought the rest was going to be a lot easier.

"Just like when I found it!" Said a man in a leather coat.

The tall, muscular man who was recognized by Lin Meng as the main source of supply of the orange mushroom hat.

"I'm sorry! Borrowed and borrowed! The Red Wizard squeezed through the crowd, rushed to the shelves of the Little Soul Potion, grabbed a handful, put it in a handbag, and rushed to the counter. Good morning! She greeted excitedly.

"Good morning, you're excited today!" Lin Meng smiled and looked at her brisk figure. The wizard placed the bag full of potions on the counter along with a silver Orr. She took it and found five small ones as change.

Sold: 5 [Little Soul Elixir] (Normal)

Obtain:

[{ 95 } Or] !

The wizard nodded excitedly. "I'm going to the sixteenth floor today! It's the next boss! ”

"Wow!" Lin Meng exclaimed and returned the change to her: "This is really exciting for yourself. You have to be careful. Isn't it dangerous there? ”

"Luckily, my soul points can be replenished!" She explained, "Usually, once I run out of soul points, I have to stop and take a break. But because of the potions, I can keep going around the dungeons until they regenerate. ”

Lin Meng said with emotion: "It sounds very hard. ”

"That's true, but I've also gained a lot of dexterity experience points from it!" The Red Wizard smiled and said, "I don't have much health or resistance, but as long as I'm fast enough, the monsters are still moving slowly. ”

The wizard of Jubilee looked behind her for a moment, and she saw that he was arguing with a customer about something. Lin Meng leaned under the counter, grabbed one of her resistance necklaces, stuffed it into her handbag, and then blinked and motioned to the Red Wizard not to speak: "Stay safe!" ”

The Red Wizard smiled, grabbed his bag excitedly, and turned to leave. "Thank you! See you tomorrow! ”

Soon, there was a long queue at the counter, and Jubilee had to help, and Lin Meng began to drag the repaired equipment upstairs, and then took out more of the previous equipment and went downstairs, because many people came to pick up the previous day's maintenance equipment. If outside the dungeons, repairing equipment is indeed a lucrative form of business, but the work is tiring.

Lin Meng smiled as she walked up the stairs with her next heavy helmet as she thought that the Red Wizard might have spent hours running in circles with monsters chasing her. If she can do this, then she can enter the dungeon herself on her own.

The antidote is also becoming more and more popular with everyone, which makes her happy. After all, this was the first potion she had made herself, and although they were too defective to sell, they were now close to normal, and people were clearly more interested in them.

There's also the fact that they are the only place near the dungeon that sells this potion, so there are few options for those who are not willing to walk further to the alchemist to buy the potion.

Lin Meng tried not to think too much.

The bartender eventually arrives as well, and Lin Meng recalls her desire to spend some time talking to the bartender about herself and the idea of the Adventurers' Guild. But before she could say hello, more armor was placed in front of her, and it needed to be carried upstairs, and the potions needed to be restocked, even though it was not yet afternoon, and the shelves were half empty.

As the day passed, there was a steady stream of customers coming in and out. Lin Meng quietly hoped that Basil would appear at some point, but the priestess never appeared. In addition to this, many faces are slowly becoming familiar to her. Soon, however, someone she didn't know came in.

As soon as he came down the stairs, Lin Meng stopped and saw a man in a cloak walk up to the counter and put a worn-out bone dagger on it.

"I need to fix this, please!" The man said.

Jubilee nodded, looked at him, and slid the dagger to the side. "Is that all?"

The man shook his head and said, "We want to place an order!" "He strikes the dagger." 50 handfuls! ”

"No problem! Come and pick it up next week! Xi Nian said calmly. Fifty is a few hours of extra work for Lin Meng.

The man nodded in satisfaction. "Also, can you make other items with this property? In particular, we need five bags of arrows and three swords. ”

"What the hell are you people trying to do?" Jubilee asked, with his hands on his hips.

"Can you do it?" The man ignores his questions.

"You goddamn cloak...... Uh......" Jubilee looked up at Lin Meng. "Can we do it?"

The girl thought for a moment: "I never tried...... But...... Maybe? She rubbed her head and said uncertainly.

Jubilee looked back at what he should have confirmed to be someone from the Thieves' Guild. "In a week, we'll hand you what you want!" He tapped on the counter and continued: "Prepayment. ”

The man nodded, didn't say anything more, and put a small bag of coins on the counter: "See you in a week!" He said as he walked towards the door.

Jubilee sighed and counted the money.

At the end of the day, nothing exciting happened, and Lin Meng chose to go to bed immediately after finishing her work.

Lin Meng woke up early the next day, and felt much better after a night's rest, even if he was still a little tired, Lin Meng finished washing up and was ready for the new day. She met Jubilee downstairs, who was already up and ready to open the shop in a while. As is customary, she wanders around town to "find" their breakfast. The girl loves the early morning air because it helps to wake her up from the calm of the morning. Add to that the fact that immersing yourself in the vibrant life of the city is always exciting. She found herself in the heart of the hive, listening to the sounds of life around her getting louder and more active.

Finding something that looked good, she went back to the store, ate it happily, and started her day. Repairs are now their main job, as the sale of soul potions is now slow and in the "downturn" phase. But the money for repairs is enough to make them very profitable.

The day was busy, but quiet, and then it ended as before.

Lin Meng spent hours fiddling with the bone daggers, they bought goblin teeth in bulk, and she would try to make as many as she could every night to meet their big order. These days, she ponders the idea of arrows and swords. A sword seems simple, it is a very long dagger...... Right?
