“I’ll visit again after you’re done, Master.”
He was referring to Kelly’s Nen Revolver, which made Feng Zhen look at him even more favorably; he was sensible.
“Alright, alright, the martial arts hall welcomes you anytime.”
Feng Zhen was half-reluctantly dragged away to make weapons. Ye Lin wandered around and still ended up at Celia’s shop.
The shop selling boxes and the shop selling fashion outfits were adjacent. In his estimation, Celia’s shop should have been like a small convenience store, as the items sold were relatively singular—only boxes.
But when he actually saw the shop, he was shocked. This was not a small convenience store; it was a supermarket of no small scale!
The environment was spacious and bright, with rows of shelves neatly arranged, and a dazzling array of goods, divided into several large sections, far exceeding his expectations.
Not only were there common recovery items like juice, Remy’s Aid, and cakes, but also various bottles and jars of red and blue potions.
In a corner of the shop, in an area marked “Treasures,” some rare-grade equipment and enhancement scrolls were guarded by machines.
On the other side, in the “Valuables” area, there were a few enchantment beads, various contracts, and also a workbench where Binuoxiu was sitting.
The innermost section, which was also the key to the shop’s origin, was Celia’s Luck, which was still supplied in limited quantities daily and had already sold out.
The adjacent outfit shop was slightly smaller in scale, but it was also grand and luxurious in decoration. Tana and Kelah were busy inside.
Celia paced contentedly within the shop, greeting every customer with the most gentle smile. After all, who would show a bad face to someone paying money…
“I’m providing fire attribute enchantment here, which counts as utilizing my specialty.”
Binuoxiu spread her hands. When she came to help today, she had a sudden idea. Utilizing the shop’s traffic and relatively spacious area, she discussed it with Celia and started an enchanting business.
However, currently, there wasn’t a single customer…
“You’d be lucky to get any business. You don’t put up an advertisement, you just sit here, who would know you’re an enchanter.”
Ye Lin found it amusing. He took out a common katana and handed it over. “You enchant this first, and I’ll make you a signboard.”
The originally plain and bright katana, after being enchanted with fire by Binuoxiu, faintly glowed red, and one could feel an intense heat when a hand was brought close to the blade.
“As long as there isn’t severe physical damage, the enchantment effect will almost never disappear,” Binuoxiu confidently explained.
“That’s good.”
A piece of metal melted in his hand into a simple sword stand. With the advertising sign set up next to it, Ye Lin clapped his hands. “You set the enchantment price yourself. Oh, by the way, where did those weapons, red and blue potions come from?”
“The weapons are from Kelly, and some Adventurers and blacksmiths also send them over to sell. The potions are sold here by the Alchemy Association and the Holy Order. Queen Skadi gave Celia a lot of policy preferential treatment.”
Actually, Celia hadn’t expected the shop to become like this. She initially just envied Tu Guan’s earning speed and only wanted to sell boxes…
“Although Kelly’s robots help, some things are still more convenient for people. So Celia hired two more people an hour ago. Look, those two…”
Binuoxiu rested her chin on her hand and pointed to the side. There was one person who was marveling at the shop’s business and didn’t know what to do, and another who was enthusiastically introducing goods to customers.
His gaze shifted, and Ye Lin’s mouth twitched. He recognized the bewildered, helpless person who looked like a newbie and didn't know what to do; it was Taylor, who had run away from Kelly’s not long ago.
And the other person surprised him a little: a black printed qipao paired with black over-the-knee stockings, with delicate, nimble, and clean features, and two bun hairstyles on either side of her brown hair. Her figure and personality were equally fiery.
This seemed to be… a floater?
“Hello, what do you need? Weapons? Potions? Order talismans? Our Celia Conscientious Shop has everything, and we cooperate with the Kanina Merchant Guild, the Alchemy Association, and the Holy Order.”
The other party noticed his gaze, walked over generously, and displayed a standard eight-tooth smile, which made people feel very good about her.
“Mo Mei, he’s the boss, bored and on an incognito visit.”
Binuoxiu smiled. Mo Mei’s enthusiastic and cheerful personality was very likable. As for Taylor, who was still in a daze, she clearly needed more time to adapt.
“Boss? Is that the person who fought through Sky City and drew with the Light City Lord, and then reached a cooperation? What a pleasure to meet you!”
Mo Mei looked excited, wiped her hands on her qipao at her waist, then extended her hand, her eyes full of anticipation.
“Is this… my little fan girl?”
He reached out blankly and shook Mo Mei’s hand. Ye Lin frowned slightly. Although he had defeated the Golden Stone Giant and the Abyssal Devil’s phantom, only Siate and her group knew about these things, and they weren’t the type to boast.
The only thing that spread was that he later discussed terms with Shalan and Queen Skadi’s confidants in Sky City with Seghete.
As for a draw, that was even more ridiculous. Barn was easily defeated by the City Lord, and only the Old man could gain the upper hand. How could he have the capital to draw with Seghete?
“It’s just a rumor, you know. In a few days, it’ll probably turn into you beating the City Lord severely…” Binuoxiu chuckled teasingly.
“Cough, cough, so, Mo Mei, are you a… Nen Master? Master Feng Zhen’s disciple?”
He searched high and low, and found it without any effort.
“Yes, Professional, mastering three Nen Master profound arts.” Mo Mei nodded repeatedly.
“Are you interested in joining my team? I need a skilled Nen Master.”
“Nen Master?” Mo Mei blinked, looking a bit confused.
“It’s Nen Emperor, the Awakeners’ title for Nen Masters.”
“Boss, don’t joke. I still have a long way to go before becoming an Awakener, and my cultivation direction is very special… I’m not qualified to join your team.”
The enthusiastic and cheerful Mo Mei actually touched her bun hairstyle a bit shyly, her face full of embarrassment.
“Hahahahaha, it’s fine. Let me see your strength when you have time. Everyone in The team is trustworthy!”
Anyone recommended by Feng Zhen to be his team member couldn’t be bad in terms of strength, and she also mastered three profound arts: 【Light of the Blade】, 【Wind’s Breath】, and 【Sun’s Breath】, so she was definitely qualified.
He only thought Mo Mei was intimidated by his false reputation and didn’t dare to join…
Taylor, not far away, was already surprised to see Ye Lin enter, and when she overheard that he was actually the boss here, her heart became even more uneasy, and anger surged!
“No, I can’t stay here!”
Taylor took out a box; this was Celia’s welcome gift for her joining.
Some of the items inside the box could be directly sold to the shop. If she was lucky, getting rich was not a dream.
“I hope I open something valuable, sell it, and then slip away. If not, I’ll go mooch off Kelly. After all, we’re all from the Sky Realm…”
The box was opened, and a ray of golden light was dazzling. Taylor’s face was excited. She quickly tore open the lid, then was greatly disappointed and full of dejection. A round, golden coin-like object bounced in her palm.
A gold coin? It didn’t seem like it.
She raised her hand and called out, “Celia, what is this? How much is it worth?”
“This…” Celia took it and looked at it, then dismissively said, “It should be like Emperor Herun’s seal, some kind of commemorative coin. Or maybe it’s like chocolate? If you want to sell it, I’ll offer five hundred gold coins.”
