Basil looked around the store uncertainly: "I'm not really...... I didn't really have that kind of training! ”

"I didn't have it before! You can learn by doing! ”

Lin Meng looked at Basil, who was a little hesitant, and said further: "We can pay you fifty aures a day!" ”

The priestess's eyes widened, but her look of surprise quickly returned to normal.

Jubilee also added: "Plus two percent of daily sales." ”

Basil's legs seemed to tremble a little, and she was silent for a moment, then regained her composure and straightened her knees as far as she could.

"You'll only be working at the counter, but given your day-to-day job, we're willing to leave some wiggle room during working hours."

Basil cleared his throat: "I'm grateful, but...... I won't be happy to accept your generous help! ”

Jubilee pointed a finger at Basil and said in a deep voice, "This is not charity. What do you think this is, you soft weirdo? Lin Meng looked at Jubilee nervously: "We are trying to run a store and provide you with a job, we are an employment relationship." ”

Lin Meng also cleared her throat and echoed: "What I want to say in the Jubilee is that we can't rely on ourselves forever, we need someone to help us. ”

She completely ignored the angry Jubilee and said, "We need someone to work for us, and ...... You need to work. ”

Basil thought for a moment: "It is unusual for a priestess to do anything other than healing. The woman sighed, apparently thinking, "I still have to ask for permission." ”

Lin Meng smiled and stretched out her hand: "Then will you come?" ”

Basil looked at her face with a somewhat uncertain expression: "...... Do you want me to like you again? ”

"Yes!" Lin Meng smiled brightly and stretched out her hand further to the priestess.

"You're very honest!" The priestess said with a smile.

"Let's work together, Basil!" Lin Meng said loudly and clearly.

Basil smiled and nodded. "Let's go."

【Contract Seal】

Lin Meng looked at the translucent pop-up window floating behind Basil, and disappeared after a moment, just like when she had cast a spell on the men of the Merchants' Guild. Although none of them seem to notice this.

After exchanging pleasantries, Basil returned to the church, and the two continued their work, occasionally coming in with customers asking for equipment repairs or soul potions. It is worth mentioning that their swords sell very well today.

"Do you want a bag?" Lin Meng asked one of the people who had bought the long sword.

He looked at the sword, "Uh...... Can this fit in? ”

Lin Meng looked down at his small cloth bag: "Oh! Really! She smiled and took the man's coin and gave him the change.

Sold: [{ 147 } Orr] 1 [Bone Sword] (Normal)!

[Business 5] {Influx}

"Congratulations." The man nodded to her, and left with his sword in hand, heading straight for the dungeon.

"Ah, thank you and welcome back!"

Lin Meng looked at the disappearing pop-up window. She now has to build up a huge backlog of skills and abilities to unlock. If only she could move up another level soon. Hopefully, Basil will come over and help soon, so she can convince Jubilee to bring her into the dungeon again, and if she has some higher stats, life will be much easier for the rest of her life.

"I'll take care of the counter!" Xi Nian said next to her, and then he pointed behind Lin Meng: "Look at the door on the stairs." ”

Lin Meng thought for a while: "But we don't know yet if Basil will be allowed to work for us." ”

Jubilee shook his head: "It is impossible for the church to stop it, this is their chance, because they need to spy on us anyway, it will be more convenient." ”

She nodded quietly, unsure of herself. However, if Jubilee is so certain, she can believe it. In addition, even if Basil does not come, the problem of the door should be solved to protect against anyone or any threat who breaks in at night. The girl ran up the stairs into the pantry, pulled out some wood and materials, and looked down at the hole under the shelf. Apparently, there are rats in the house.

The thought of a rat in their pantry and all the food they put there made her sick, and she also made a note of what to do about it. Rats are equally unwelcome in all houses. She grabbed a pile of wood and got to work, building a simple door at the top of the staircase.

Her initial idea was very simple, just pick up a thick plank and saw it in half lengthwise.

(Lin Meng) use: [craftsman: saw]

Placing each half on the side of the hallway, she fastened them to the adjacent wall with metal fasteners, and then placed a plank longitudinally between the tops.

(Lin Meng) use: [craftsman: fastening] x3

She pushed the empty frame, checked that it was secure, then nodded in satisfaction and began to work on the door. She took two large planks, stacked them on top of each other, glued them together with some glue, and sawed out a piece about the size of a gap in the frame. It was only after she finished that she realized that maybe she should have sawed the wood first and glued it together, rather than the other way around. Now there's an extra piece glued together. She rubbed her head and peeked down, but Jubilee didn't seem to notice.

She quietly got up and snuck into the storage room, hiding the remaining glued wood with the rest of the wood before Jubilee saw and scolded her for wasting things.

She placed the door on the frame, fastened two swinging hinges to the door, one at the top and one at the bottom, and secured the entire piece to the frame she had built earlier.

(Lin Meng) use: [Craftsman: fastening] x2

Satisfied, she pushed it again and watched it swing outward. Lin Meng looked at it for a while, confused. How did you drive in the direction of the stairs? It seems awkward!

When she saw Jubilee looking at her from below, she opened the door again, this time, placing the hinge on the right side of the frame. Tried again, happy that it was now swinging inward, in the direction of the corridor upstairs.

"Jubilee! I did! She exclaimed.

Jubilee sighed and shook his head: "What about the handles?" ”

"Doorknob?" Lin Meng looked back at the door.

"Yes...? That one...... If you have a door, you have to have a doorknob! ”

Lin Meng looked back at the door and realized that what Jubilee said was very reasonable, so she wanted to use some of the remaining things to make a rough doorknob, and those iron rods downstairs were good.

"Jubilee! I did! An hour later, Lin Meng exclaimed excitedly, expecting to be praised for her hard work and exquisite craftsmanship. She stretched her arms out to the door and smiled brightly, very proud of the stable structure, as it was the first time she had done anything like this.

“…… What about locks? Jubilee looked up at her.

Lin Meng opened her eyes wide and asked, "What?" ”

"Lock, stupid!" Jubilee touched his mask, "That's the point!" A door! Door with lock. ”

"A lock ......" Lin Meng looked down at the door and muttered to herself, and then looked at Jubilee: "Jubilee? ”

"What?" Jubilee asked, tapping his finger on the counter.

"I don't know how to make locks."

Jubilee was a little speechless, but he didn't respond because some customers were queuing up to pay.

If you want to know how to make a lock, it seems that Lin Meng can only solve it by herself. She reached into her pocket, took out the key to the Adventurer's Guild, looked at it, shrugged her shoulders, and set about making something that could be considered a lock.

Two hours later, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and shouted triumphantly into the metal keyhole on the wooden door: "Jubilee~!" ”

"What?"

"I made a lock! See! The girl picked up the key to the Adventurer's Guild and inserted it into the door, turning it around and displaying it.

Jubilee sighed and said with deep exhaustion: "...... Is that the key to the Adventurer's Guild? ”

"Of course?" Lin Meng responded confidently.

Jubilee stared at her for a moment, then took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.

"You made the door lock with the key of the Adventurer's Guild?" He repeated it again.

"Yes!" Lin Meng nodded, not knowing what was wrong.

"Half of the fools in the city have the exact same key!"

Lin Meng tilted his head to look at the Jubilee, and then looked down at the key: "Oh! Lin Meng understands now.

"Oh!" Jubilee repeated wordlessly.

Lin Meng looked back at her friend. "Jubilee~?"

"What?" Jubilee asked annoyedly.

"Can we buy a lock?"

The Jubilee was completely defeated.

Lin Meng lay on his back on the floor, his hands spinning a bottle of spiritual essence above his head. Her eyes were fixed on the faintly glowing white slime that swayed back and forth in the glass bottle.

"Psionics. Spirituality. She narrowed her eyes and kept repeating, "Spiritual ...... Psionics... Spiritual ........."

"Shut up!" Jubilee shouted from behind the counter and threw a ball of paper at the girl lying on the floor of the store.

The ball of paper slammed on her head and rolled to the side.

"Jubilee~?"

"What?" Jubilee was clearly angry.

"If ghosts are real, does that mean we have souls?" She tilted the bottle to the left and looked at the liquid on one side.

"What? Why do you think so? ”

"Hmm...... Ghosts are spirits, right? She tilted the bottle to the right.

"If only I knew what the hell is! Ask Basil, and she might tell you. ”

Lin Meng looked at the bottle and continued to fiddle. The only sound in the quiet shop was the sound of a pen falling on paper as the Jubilee wrote the ledger.

"Jubilee~?" Lin Meng tilted his head and asked.

"What?!"

"Are you a ghost?"

“… What? ”

"Are you a ghost?" Lin Meng repeated

“… What? ”

Lin Meng rotated the bottle in his hand and lifted it to the ceiling. "Is that why you don't like to be touched? Because I'll find out you're not real? ”

"Your imagination is so rich! A sucker! Aren't you going to do something with it? Or do you just want a shiny toy? ”

"Of course! I was just thinking......"

"Then you can think slowly!"

"Hmm......" Lin Meng looked at the bottle: "Hey! She rolled over and fell to the ground, her cheeks puffed out, and glared angrily at Jubilee, who only closed the ledger in response.

"Alright, I'm done." He looked down at her. "You don't have to lie there waiting for me, if you're done your work before me, you can go upstairs and sleep."

Lin Meng's body leaned forward, her stomach pressed against the floor, and she squirmed like a caterpillar: "But it's a jubilee~!" ”

"You make me feel a little creepy!" Jubilee looked down at her.

Lin Meng's hand slapped on the Jubilee boots: "I want to spend time with you~"

Jubilee sighed and stepped back: "We are together almost all day, every day. ”

"yes!" Lin Meng nodded.

"You're really clingy, you know?"

"yes!" Lin Meng nodded: "You are my best friend, Jubilee!" ”

"It's so sad!" Jubilee shook his head, looked around the store and said, "...... Want to go to a dungeon? ”

Lin Meng's eyes widened: "Of course! She exclaimed, standing up and spreading her arms.

"I'm not going to hug you!" Jubilee walked past her without looking at her.

"Jubilee~" Lin Meng complained and turned to chase her friend.

"Stay away from me, you pervert!"

"Jubilee ~ hee-hee!"

Five minutes later, they had already packed their things and were standing outside the dungeon.

"Should we take a shortcut?" Lin Meng realized that if they entered from the first floor, Jubilee would see the traces left by her entering the dungeon alone to fight Mr. Mushroom.

"You mean the eighth floor?" Jubilee thought for a moment. "It can be dangerous for you there. You have to make sure to listen to me! ”

"Okay!"

"Guaranteed!?" Jubilee hands on the hips.

Lin Meng tilted her head, wondering what was the big deal. But she still nodded: "Okay! I promise! ”

Jubilee nodded in satisfaction, and the two entered the dungeon.

After Lin Meng opened her eyes, she looked around and realized that she was standing on a large staircase at this time, but not the kind at the usual entrance, and behind her was a huge double-sided wooden door.

"The boss room is in the back."

"You mean the flower?" Lin Meng asked.

"Yes!" Jubilee said and walked down, "But I don't want to go back with you." Last time things got weird. ”

"But it's really simple, can't you just kill it? You're really strong, Jubilee! Lin Meng chased after her friend.

"Let's explore a few normal floors and then we'll be done, shall we? We need to get a good night's sleep before tomorrow comes. ”

Lin Meng thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay!" I've granted your request as a teamfight! ”

Judging by Jubilee's head movements, she was sure that he gave her a roll of his eyes back.

The walls of this dungeon are different from the above. brickwork of completely compacted earth and vines. A strange dark ivy grows from between the cracks, giving the gray bricks a strange, blue hue. She shuddered, and even in her new robes, it was getting colder and colder.

Something was moving on the floor below. When they stepped down, Lin Meng looked at what looked like a cemetery. Surrounded by a row of black metal iron fences, coupled with numerous tombstones and stone crypts filling the entire space, it almost forms another form of labyrinth.

"Floors 1 to 8 are lovely for beginners and it's full of some forest monsters! Floors 9 to 16 are where the first undead are located. ”

"Undead? Like a ghost? Lin Meng asked nervously.

Jubilee stepped off the floor and motioned for her to stand back. "The ghost is going to the thirteenth floor. The ninth floor is a zombie. ”

"Zombies?"

Lin Meng now looked up at the cemetery. The dirt beneath the tombstones began to shake and ripple. The stone began to move and shake, and gray, foul-smelling hands broke free from the mud. The bones cracked, and disgusting carrion twined and tore at the roots and ivy, and they seemed to grasp the dead firmly, as if trying to hold them in place. Lin Meng looked at the rotting human corpses walking towards them and felt a little frightened.

Jubilee grabbed the wet dirt at their feet and tossed it into the air, snapping her fingers as it flew.

You have gained [18/52 experience]!

You have gained [20/52 EXPERIENCE]!

You have gained [36/52 experience]!

You have gained [38/52 experience]!

You have gained [40/52 experience]!

An hour later, the two returned the same way. Lin Meng's bag was obviously stuffed. Zombies usually just drop coins, but sometimes they have some equipment occasionally. A sword, a shield, not a pair of boots. After completing the ninth floor, they went to the tenth floor, which contained skeletons, and then the eleventh floor, which contained a mixture of zombies and skeletons. The rhizome flowers apparently only grow in layers one to eight, so nothing is seen here. Lin Meng wanted to move on, but Jubilee waved her hand to stop her, saying that there was a ghoul on the twelfth floor and that they weren't going to deal with it tonight.

A person bitten by a vampire becomes a ghoul. Their bodies twist like zombies, but are more cunning and powerful. Lin Meng accepted Jubilee Nian's proposal and happily turned around and went upstairs again, proud of the new level she had finally assigned.

At the very beginning of the spell, the moment the pop-up window appeared, she didn't even have to ask, she felt Jubilee's angry gaze. Jubilee suggested that she learn the craft of glass. She can make all sorts of new and interesting things for them to sell. But the girl protested, thinking it was her chance to make new friends.

"With ...... Snails and mushroom monsters make friends? Jubilee asked.

"Of course!"

Jubilee tilted her head and looked at the girl. "I think you do have a lot in common with them."

"Huh? Hey! ”

Her friend walked away: "It's your choice, but I don't know if the monsters have anything to say." Lin Meng's fingers swirled back and forth on the menu pop-up, unable to decide. It's certainly nice to do more, but ......

The ability to be able to talk to monsters is also very exciting for her, and judging by Jubilee's reaction, this is a rather unusual ability for this world. Maybe there's something valuable here? She's not quite sure what it is, but it also sounds more interesting, which is the real reason why her finger stopped at the first item.

Skill Selection: [Whispering]!

She smiled and chased after Jubilee, and the two of them left the dungeon. Lin Meng made a note in her heart and came back when she had time. Maybe Mr. Mushroom will talk to her? The thought overjoyed her. "Thank you, Jubilee!"

Jubilee suddenly tensed and stared at the dark corridor they were passing by, Lin Meng followed his gaze, but saw nothing in the darkness at the end of the empty road. Jubilee turned around and opened the door. "yes. Come on, let's go to sleep. Because of this, I'm going to lose sleep. ”

"Okay!"

The two opened the door and walked inside.

Lin Meng couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning on the bed, the sound outside began to become clear, and it was raining again. She rolled over and looked at the lantern she had made earlier. Leaning against the wall of her room, her eyes moved to the chain lock on her door, checking again to see if it was actually locked. The thunder shook the walls, and she pulled the blanket higher: "Why does it always start raining at night?" She muttered to herself in the blanket.

As Jubilee told her, the weather here in late spring is very unpredictable. She curled up under the blanket and listened to the dull, buzzing thunder of the midnight sky outside. The low rumble sounded surprisingly calm to her, not like the high-pitched crackling sound of the last storm. She felt her eyes slowly become heavy until they finally closed.

The night passed without anything bad happening, although once, when she awoke she felt the sound of Jubilee walking outside, but when she sat up and listened carefully, she only heard the sound of raindrops beating on the window. The girl thought about making some blinds for her and Jubilee's bedroom as well, and then lay down again and fell asleep again.

The next day, the rain continued.

Lin Meng sat downstairs, eating the dry bread they had stockpiled. Because of the rain, she didn't want to go out to find them a fresher breakfast: "I tell you, Jubilee! Witches melt when they get wet! ”

"Where did you hear that, you idiot? I've seen you in wet clothes, what's the point?! ”

Lin Meng looked down at the bread on her lap and thought, "Hmm...... Maybe I'm a different witch?! ”

"You're a different thing, okay!" Jubilee said with a yawn.

"You didn't get much sleep last night?" Lin Meng took a bite of bread and asked.

"Well, we came home late, and then the storm outside made me unbearable."

Lin Meng turned around and leaned against the counter and asked, "Are you also afraid of vampires?" ”

"What? No, why should I be afraid of vampires. ”

Lin Meng nodded her chin and said, "If you're scared, you can come to my room." ”

Jubilee sighed helplessly......
