Zach looked into the portal, but he couldn't see anything past the borders of the portal. It was the same when he had summoned the magic shop.
Zach didn't necessarily want to go to the magic shop, but he wanted to meet Xie Lua and ask her about the progress of the bidding of his MP potions.
He simply wanted to check if two people could enter the same portal for a magic shop.
Zach held Aurora's hand and said, "You go first. If only one player can enter, I don't want to ruin your shopping."
Aurora entered the Magic shop without any problem, and then Zach too.
"…!"
They both were surprised, but that wasn't the case.
Only one player was allowed to exist one at a time in the magic shop dimension. However, Zach was now Xie Lua's business partner— a trader, and that gave him the ability to enter and leave the magic shop dimension whenever he wanted to.
Of course, summoning the magic shop was necessary to enter it.
Aurora glanced around and admired the beauty of the magic shop.
Zach scoffed slightly after seeing that because he had reacted the same way when he first entered the magic shop dimension.
Aurora turned to Zach and asked, "You have come here before, right?"
"Yup," Zach nodded. "Let's go."
Zach grabbed Aurora's hand and took her to the stall where Xie Lua was in the same position and pose as before when Zach had first seen her.
She was smoking from the pipe while looking at the awe-rora in the sky.
"Ahem!" Zach cleared his throat to let his presence known.
Xie Lua turned to Zach and stared at him for a while before realizing that Zach was truly present there.
After Zach's mother had asked Xie Lua to take care of Zach, and Xie Lua mistook it as a marriage proposal, she had been thinking about Zach nonstop. There were times when she imagined Zach to run the magic shop with her, and that's why it took a while for her to realize that the real Zach was standing in front of her.
"Hey, Zach!" Xie Lua greeted Zach cheerfully with a wide smile on her face.
"Hey…" Zach greeted back with an awkward smile on his face, seemingly trying to know why Xie Lua was being friendly with him.
Sure, they had a relationship with a trader, but the smile on Xie Lua's face showed something else.
Aurora squinted her eyes and glanced at Zach with a judging look on her face. Zach had seen that look on Aurora's face so many times that he could tell what Aurora was trying to convey.
"Do you two know each other?" Aurora asked with a curious yet calm look on her face.
"Duh!" Zach shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have come here before, so what do you expect?"
"Ah! Right…"
"But she is also my business partner," Zach added.
"…."
"I told you about the potions, right?" Zach sighed.
"Yeah…" Aurora nodded.
Xie Lua watched Zach and Aurora interact, and she was certain that they had a connection between them.
'So he also has multiple lovers…' Xie Lua thought to herself.
"Listen, I have news regarding the MP potions, but let me take care of my customer first," Xie Lua asserted.
"Fine by me." Zach stepped back and turned around to watch the scenery around.
"So, what do you want?" Xie Lua asked Aurora.
"I have a gold rank weapon, and it's good. But I was wondering if I can get something better here," Aurora said. "What types of weapons do you have?"
"I have all types of weapons depending on what classes you have." Xie Lua activated her magic eye and read Aurora's classes. "So you are a knight and a healer."
"Yes," Aurora nodded.
"I have a mythical rank equipment for healer class. Do you want to see it?"
'I wanted to buy something for my knight class, though,' Aurora uttered inwardly. However, she was interested in her healer class equipment too.
"Show me," she said.
Xie Lua opened the drawer of the stall and grabbed something from it.
It was a black onyx wand with amber, sapphire, and emerald-colored gems on the sides.
"Wow…" Aurora took the wand in her hand and admired its beauty. "It looks so beautiful."
"Of course, it is."
"How much is it? I would like to buy it," Aurora said with an eager and curious look on her face.
"Wait a minute…" Zach snatched the wand from Aurora's hand and placed it on the stall.
"What?" Aurora asked with a confused look on her face.
"At least ask what's the benefit of this wand." Zach turned to Xie Lua and said, "Did you just try to scam her into buying this?"
Xie Lua shrugged her shoulders and said, "That's my job. I sell stuff."
"What are the wand's benefits?" Aurora asked.
Xie Lua shook her head and said, "Nothing. It functions just as an ordinary wand. Its value is because of its look."
"…."
"Do you still want to buy it?" Xie Lua asked.
Aurora shook her head and said, "No. Please show me a sword for my Knight class."
"Wait…" Zach nudged Aurora and said, "Don't buy a sword. Get something else."
"What else can I get…?"
"How about armor or something?"
Aurora glanced at Xie Lua and asked, "Do you have armor?"
"I have everything." Xie Lua clapped her hands, and three rows of shelves appeared behind the stall. Each shelf had three armors graded from epic, mythical, divine.
"What types of armor do you want?" Xie Lua asked. "I have full body armor, half-body armor, sleeveless armor."
Zach stepped forward and asked, "Do you have cloth-type armor?"
"You mean an armor that doesn't look like armor but normal clothes?" Xie Lua asked Zach to confirm.
"Yeah, something like that." Zach nodded. "Do you have them?"
"I actually do. But…" Xie Lua shot a glance at Aurora before continuing, "They are a bit revealing."
"How revealing?" Aurora asked.
"Enough to wear them as undergarments," Xie replied with a sigh.
