Magic is really interesting.
After Si Jin and Harold left, there were no new customers in the store. Lu Yao opened the first page of the magic book and was completely immersed in it.
As Si Jin said, this magic book contains a huge amount of content, with clear classification and easy to understand.
Lu Yao first found the miniature magic circle used by Harold through the catalog. There were step-by-step illustrations of how to draw the magic circle next to it, and small words explaining the construction principles of the magic circle.
Although it was only the second time she read this kind of book, Lu Yao felt that the content was very easy to understand.
For her, it was difficult to blindly describe the magic circle, but after knowing the construction principles and basic array methods, it was not difficult to try to draw the magic circle.
In order to experiment with the magic circle, she went to a fruit stall and bought several kinds of fruits.
There are many strange varieties of fruits from other worlds, such as snake apples that really look like snakes, crying face fruits that will cry loudly when you pinch them, and meat fruit that exudes the aroma of braised pork... Although Lu Yao was curious, he finally bought only the most common apples, green pears and grapes.
Back in the store, Lu Yao first used apples to experiment with shrinking magic circles. She failed to draw them three times.
After repeated adjustments, she finally shrunk the apple by one circle on the seventh time, and shrunk the apple to the size of a grape on the eighth time.
After the first success, Lu Yao tried again and again as if she had found a new toy.
A bag of apples and green pears all became experimental subjects. Some shrunk to the size of grapes, and some were only as big as grape seeds.
Lu Yao soon discovered that the extent to which an item could be shrunk depended on the amount of magic power injected.
The more magic power injected, the smaller the item could be shrunk.
The next page of the shrinking magic circle is the enlarging magic circle, and its array structure is opposite to the shrinking array. After learning the shrinking array, it is very simple to look at the enlarging array.
Lu Yao tried to draw an enlarging magic circle on the grapes, and injected magic power slowly and steadily. The second time, he was able to enlarge the grapes to the size of apples.
At the end of this section, it also teaches how to restore the items to their original size.
Lu Yao tried it on apples, green pears and grapes, and restored them to their original state.
This magic book is simply a treasure. It is more practical than the one rewarded by the system, and it is very easy to learn. Lu Yao likes it very much.
She slowly flipped through the pages and came to the chapter on potion formulas.
The first chapter is divided into ten sections, which include common medicine materials distributed in the Alexandria continent, plants, crystals, and monsters that can be used as medicine. It introduces their distribution areas, growth environments, habits, and effects after being used as medicine, as well as common combinations.
Lu Yao glanced through the first part and turned to the second chapter, where practical potion formulas appeared.
Suddenly, Lu Yao frowned slightly and flipped through the magic book quickly, reading ten lines at a glance, with confusion in her eyes.
She picked up a bottle of dragon-specific nail glue from the table, turned to the recipe table, and compared it with some of the medicinal materials in the book. The names were the same.
Is it a coincidence?
Or does it mean that if you collect the materials according to the recipe list, you can make this glue?
Lu Yao was too curious. There seemed to be a herbal medicine store in Emerald Town. Lixiu mentioned it that day.
There are five bottles of this glue, and the usage and effect of each bottle are different. Lu Yao copied down five recipes and went to the herbal medicine store to buy materials.
The herbal medicine store in Emerald Town was too small. She only bought half of the more common materials, and she didn't know the dosage and production method of making these special glues.
Even though she was extremely curious, she had to put it aside for the time being.
The table was full of materials, and the fruits used for the experiment were rolling everywhere. Lu Yao rubbed his eyes. He was too focused at first, and only felt tired when he relaxed.
The mobile phone suddenly rang several times in succession, and Lu Yao leaned over to take it.
[Yaoyao, your skills have improved again!!! Those two new manicures in the circle of friends are simply amazing! ]
[I love them so much, I must have them immediately! ]
[Do you have time today? I want to come over and do it right away. The black one with gemstones is so attractive! I want to do it no matter how expensive it is!!!]
It was Shen Sisi.
Sijin and Harold's manicures were so beautiful, Lu Yao was very proud of them, and shared two pictures in the circle of friends.
Shen Sisi couldn't help herself when she saw them, and she fell in love with the most expensive one at first sight.
However, this time Lu Yao had to refuse her.
Lu Yao: [Thank you, baby. But this one can't be done for the time being. ]
Shen Sisi: [!!! Why? Is it expensive? Money is not a problem, even if you quote a five-digit price, I can accept it. I want to have it immediately!
Shen Sisi was extremely excited. It had been a long time since she had seen such an exciting manicure.
The black and silver smudges were natural and even, which was Lu Yao's usual level. The most outstanding thing was the gem fragments used for embellishment. The color matching, composition and texture were all perfect. It looked like the real thing, without a trace of plastic feeling. It was simply her dream manicure.
Lu Yao's photo-taking skills have always been very good, and the hands that did the manicure were also amazing, slender and well-proportioned, with distinct finger bones.
When Shen Sisi saw it, she felt that if she did this manicure, she would definitely be as beautiful as the one in the picture, and she couldn't wait to have it.
Lu Yao: [It's not a question of price. This is a custom-made manicure. The gemstones inlaid on the nails are materials brought by the customers themselves, and they are all pre-polished colored gemstones.
After hearing this, Shen Sisi understood.
The difficulty is not in decorating the nails with gemstones, but in collecting so many colors and stable quality gemstones, and then polishing them into suitable shapes.
Each stone has different hardness and density. It is too difficult to make it a size that can be placed on the nails, and to cut it so perfectly that it can refract light at almost every angle.
Shen Sisi was unwilling to give up. She saved the picture and enlarged it, and clearly saw that the gemstones on the nails had almost countless facets. There were several amethysts almost the size of dust embedded on one of the little fingers. When it was enlarged to the maximum, countless tiny facets could be seen on the surface of the crystal. It was too delicate.
She knew Lu Yao was not lying. This manicure was made of not only real gemstones, but also extremely high-quality rare gemstones. It was very difficult to have the same style.
But after seeing this one, other styles were no longer in her eyes.
Shen Sisi didn't know at this time that soon she would be introduced to various magical manicures by Lu Yao every day, and almost every one of them was her dream manicure that she loved but rarely had.
After coaxing Shen Sisi away, the sun was setting in the west. There were no customers in the store. Lu Yao was ready to close the store and go to the snack bar to check it out.
Before going there, she took a gold coin and bought half a monster meat from the meat stand next door, and also bought a small amount of potatoes, tomatoes, green peppers and other vegetables from another world, and also bought a basket of fruits.
After moving them into the store, they were transferred to the warehouse and taken out at the snack bar.
She wanted to try the ingredients from another world, and then listen to the opinions of the snack bar staff to see if it was possible to import goods from here to the snack bar.
Lu Yao had tried to bring fruits and specialties from the Alexandria continent to her world before, but outside, the things in the warehouse were like panels trapped in the game interface. You could only see the quantity and type, and you couldn't take them out naturally like in the store.
The system explained that this world had never opened the alien space, was not protected by the system rules, and could not capture the energy of other spaces.
Simply put, the worlds connected by the star gate are one-way.
Unless her world also has a different space, she can transfer and exchange items like in other worlds.
Lu Yao also tried to bring the ingredients from Alexandria back to her own world directly from the door of the nail salon without putting them in the warehouse, but every time she opened the door, the streets of Emerald Town were outside.
This is also an inherent rule of the system. She must have a star gate in her own world to bring things from other worlds back to this world.
Back at the snack bar, the shop assistants on the first floor saw Lu Yao and immediately came up to him, "Owner."
Lu Yao nodded and asked about the daily situation in the store.
After Dream Country implemented the policy of zoned stay in Zone A, there are still many customers coming to the store every day, but no one is fighting outside anymore.
Currently, the residents of Zone B are exchanging with those of Zone A, and even the amusement park is exchanged.
But the ninety-ninth floor amusement park is rather special, and the amusement park guarded by the captain of guards cannot be easily moved. The captain of guards, Qing, and other NPCs in the amusement park are still staying here, and come to eat from time to time. Lu Yao
walked upstairs while listening to Bai Ming's report. There were many guests drinking coffee and eating snacks on the second floor. Qi Chen and Xiao Qie greeted her and turned around to continue their work.
The kitchens on the first and second floors were occupied, and only the kitchen on the third floor was vacant. Lu Yao was going to cook the meat and vegetables brought back from Alexandria on the third floor.
Bai Ming looked at the ingredients that Lu Yao took out with curiosity, "These things... look so strange."
Everything looked very familiar, but not completely familiar to him.
Lu Yao: "It looks a bit strange, but it is said to taste good."
Bai Ming was surprised: "Do you want to eat it?" Lu
Yao nodded.
She asked the stall owner, and the way to eat these things is actually the same as here, the meat and vegetables can be eaten after they are cooked, and the fruits can be eaten directly after washing.
She first took the monster meat that she was most interested in, and cut off a large piece of fat and lean meat.
Originally, she planned to blanch it with green onions and ginger to remove the fishy smell, but the color of the meat was very bright, and it smelled lightly of milk. Lu Yao hesitated for a moment and decided to stir-fry it directly, and she happened to have giant green peppers bought from Alexandria.
The monster meat was cut into slices half a centimeter thick. The texture inside the meat was like marble, and the fat and lean meat were almost 5 to 5.
After cutting it, the milky aroma became more obvious.
The green pepper flesh is very thick, and it bursts with juice when cut, and the refreshing sweetness immediately spreads in the air.
Lu Yao took a piece and tasted it. It was crispy and sweet, and could be eaten as fruit.
Bai Ming originally thought these ingredients were strange, but when he saw Lu Yao eating them raw, he became a little curious.
Lu Yao handed him a piece, Bai Ming took it and took a careful bite, and was extremely surprised: "So sweet."
Lu Yao began to stir-fry the meat, poured a little oil into the pot to lubricate it, and poured the monster meat directly into it. As soon as
the meat was put into the pot, the rich meaty aroma came to his nose, and when the green peppers were added, the whole third floor was filled with fragrance.
There was not enough space downstairs, and there were already some guests on the third floor, one of which was the table of the B-area Paradise Guards who had just moved in.
When a few people saw Lu Yao coming up, they noticed, could this be the owner?
She looked unfamiliar, but she could go directly into the kitchen, and her cooking skills were even more skilled.
When the aroma of stir-fried pork with green peppers filled the entire floor and drifted along the corridor, they were sure that this must be the owner.
I heard that the owner's dishes tasted the best, and this aroma was indeed tempting.
The guests on the third floor focused their attention on the kitchen and swallowed uncontrollably.
When the fire was turned off, Lu Yao couldn't help it anymore, so she scooped a spoonful into a small bowl, picked it up, blew it, and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
After being fried, the monster meat actually swells up, and becomes soft and bouncy like jelly.
When poked with chopsticks, fat sizzles out, and it is soft and not greasy in the mouth. It melts in a sip, and then it exudes a mellow fat aroma and a strange milky taste, which is very special. Lu Yao
ate three pieces in a row and couldn't stop.
Bai Ming was also surprised after tasting it, "This meat... is so delicious!"
She divided it into two plates and asked Bai Ming to send it downstairs for other employees to taste.
A man walked out of the guard at the table on the third floor, stopped at the kitchen window, and asked, "Owner, can I have a taste?"
Lu Yao looked up and found that the guests on the third floor were all looking at this side.
She didn't cook much, but there was still some left in the pot, so she simply made some for tasting.
There was a piece of meat and a piece of green pepper in a small palm-sized box. Lu Yao said, "We're trying out new products. The portions are small. If you don't mind, you can come and queue up."
Bai Ming sent the meat down, and when he came back up, he saw people lining up at the kitchen window on the third floor. He came over to help distribute the samples, and Lu Yao got away and cooked two more pots.
"This meat is not greasy at all, and it's milky and fragrant. It's so delicious." The guard who got the sample package first couldn't hide his excitement.
His companions nodded repeatedly, "I like this meat! Shop owner, are you going to have new products?"
Other guests who had tried the meat were equally excited.
"It's gone before I can even taste it, ahhhhh, this is too little!"
"What delicious meat, I can eat a whole pot with rice!"
"I just want to know when the new products will be in stock?"
The ingredients from Alexandria were well received by the staff and customers of the snack bar, so Lu Yao felt relieved and prepared to make a list and purchase directly in the future.
During this period, Mo Cheng and Quan Shengju were both in the kitchen on the first floor. Lu Yao thought that the kitchen on the third floor could also be opened, so he transferred Mo Cheng and Yu Cai to the third floor, with Mo Cheng responsible for cooking and Yu Cai responsible for greeting customers.
Xingzi, Baiming, and Quanshengju are on the first floor, Xiaoqie, Qichen, and Chi are on the second floor, and Mocheng and Yucai are on the third floor. They will be recruited later.
Seeing customers queuing up at the window, Lu Yao thought of making lunch boxes on the third floor. Some ingredients are imported from Alexandria, and the daily dishes are set in advance. They are sold at the window at noon and in the evening. It is simple and fast.
After closing the store in the afternoon, Lu Yao told the staff about this idea. Mocheng and Yucai were very happy, as if they had finally found their place.
In the evening, Lu Yao spent some popularity points to upgrade the snack bar.
She drew new drawings, built a new staircase from the side of the snack bar, and reopened a door on the second and third floors respectively.
Customers can go upstairs directly from the outside, without having to squeeze on the narrow stairs on the first floor of the store.
When they came out of the snack bar, it was already dark. Lu
Yao slowly returned to her residence, and remembered to log in to the Paradise Forum before going to bed.
There was actually a private message in her mailbox with the intention of buying.
An account with only one level like her asked her how to trade, and he wanted to buy the black ring.
After Lu Yao replied, the other party was actually online and replied to her immediately: "I require a face-to-face transaction. Where do you live? I can come to your city and trade in cash in person."
Lu Yao thought about it and thought that one million was not a small number, and a face-to-face transaction was acceptable, so she gave an address.
The other side actually replied: "What a coincidence, I'm in this city too."
Since the buyer was also from the city of Luyao, Lu Yao agreed with him on the place and time to meet, and then left the forum.
Alexandria, Dragon Valley.
The weather was great, and during lunch break, the dragon cubs were lazily lying on the hillside basking in the sun.
Teacher Mu Xin was sitting under a tree, just about to take a break, when he suddenly felt his eyelids twitching, and immediately became alert.
Speaking of which, the little boy Harold hasn't been here for a while.
According to the previous frequency, he should be here recently. Could it be today?
In the distance, the cry of a dragon cub was suddenly heard.
Mu Xin felt a headache, and there was no need to guess that it was Harold who came.
This guy has always resented being kicked out of Dragon Valley, and he would come back every now and then to cause trouble, bully his peers, and annoy her as a teacher.
Harold is not yet an adult, and the dragon clan did owe him something by sending him out of Dragon Valley early, but that is not a reason for him to keep making trouble.
Mu Xin made up her mind last time that if Harold comes to Dragon Valley again, she will definitely teach this unruly little black dragon a lesson.
She sighed, stood up, turned into a dragon, and flew to the hillside.
On the hillside, Harold stood on a big rock, with the back of his hand facing the sun, shaking his fingers like playing the piano, and the gems on his nails reflected different brilliances, blinding the dragon's eyes.
The baby dragons were lying on the ground, making whimpering sounds, but they couldn't take their eyes off Harold's fingers.
Harold was so proud that he laughed loudly.
These dragons must be jealous of his beautiful nails and crying.
When Mu Xin flew over, she saw Harold wandering around among the little dragons like a bully, and she was a little confused. He
didn't use the dragon form today?
The human form of the giant dragon is far less violent than the dragon form, but the fact that he bullied the little dragons has not changed, and she still has to teach him a lesson.
When they flew closer, Mu Xin finally saw the way Harold bullied the young dragon. This guy raised a pair of claws and kept waving them in front of the young dragon. The black claws were full of gems, like a colorful galaxy flowing in the night, shining brightly in the sun.
Si Jin stood aside and was too lazy to persuade him.
If he had known that Harold was here to show off, he would not have come. It would be better to go home and pick gems.
To be honest, he was almost going crazy with jealousy.
Harold's claws were so beautiful in the sun, dazzling and dazzling. Every angle would reflect different colors of light, which was more dazzling than the rainbow light of stars.
He must go back and get a new set of manicure that is more sparkling than Harold's!
Teacher Mu Xin landed on the stone, his huge dragon body blocked the sun, and his shadow enveloped the little dragon on the uphill, "Harold, you are here again. The teacher said last time that if you come to Dragon Valley again, I will be rude to you."
Harold put his hands behind his back and stepped back three steps, "Teacher's words are hurtful, I just happened to pass by and came in to take a look. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Anyway,
he has shown off enough, he will not fight with the teacher, don't damage his nails.
Si Jin rolled his eyes, resignedly followed behind Harold, and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, a little red dragon in the dragon group stood up and took two steps towards Harold. "Harold, wait a minute." Harold
turned around and said, "What's the
matter?" The little red dragon was a little embarrassed. It flapped its wings gently, lowered its head and pinched its claws. After a long while, it spoke, "I want to ask, ask, why are your claws so shiny?"
This question was the voice of countless young dragons. Teacher Mu Xin leaned forward quietly when he heard it, wanting to hear it more clearly.
No dragon can resist such sparkle. It simply touched their hearts!
The next morning, Lu Yao slept until eight o'clock, washed up, and went to the city center with the ring.
Coincidentally, the customer who wanted to buy the ring made an appointment at the teahouse where Lu Yao had tea with Zhuang Liang and Qi Jue last time.
Lu Yao arrived five minutes earlier than the agreed time. When she stepped into the private room, she saw a familiar figure. She walked over and said, "Mr. Shen, Mr. Zhuang."
The buyer of the ring was surnamed Shen. He was about 30 years old, wearing a gray suit, thin and cold, and his face was a little haggard.
Sitting with him was Zhuang Liang, who had not been seen for a long time and had lost a lot of weight.
Zhuang Liang saw Lu Yao's unconscious action and stood up. Shen Pingjin looked at him and sat down reluctantly, his voice trembling: "Miss Lu."
Shen Pingjin raised his eyebrows, "Do you know him?"
Zhuang Liang stammered: "Forget it, forget it."
He should have thought of it earlier. He dared to offer a price of one million and lived in the city of Shaking Light. He knew Lu Yao, a novice amusement park player who was so arrogant.
He was sick for a long time when he came back from the snack bar last time.
Qi Jue came to see him halfway and said that the snack bar appeared again.
Zhuang Liang felt even worse after hearing this, and he closed the door and refused to see the visitor for a long time.
The Shen family was quite powerful in the city, and if he hadn't really been unable to refuse, he wouldn't have wanted to come out.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into the hands of Lu Yao, this ancestor, and for a moment, she had no idea in her mind.
Lu Yao took out the ring from the bag, pushed it to the middle of the table, and went straight to the point: "You guys take a look first? If there is no problem, pay and deliver the goods. I have to go to work later."
She was very generous and didn't worry about the ring being stolen at all.
If there is a problem in the transaction, the captain of the guard will solve everything on their behalf, and then it will not be a million-dollar transaction.
This is also the confidence she agreed to the face-to-face transaction.
At Shen Pingjin's signal, Zhuang Liang picked up the ring, took a look at it, put it down, and nodded: "It is indeed a new ring, and it has never been used."
But he was confused in his heart. This is not the one Lu Yao used last time, how can there be a new one? Does she have a lot of such rings?
Zhuang Liang didn't dare to think about it any more, and sat aside very anxiously.
Shen Pingjin was straightforward. Hearing that it was a new ring, he took out two black suitcases from under the table and opened them. They were all red. "One million. Miss Lu can count them."
Lu Yao left with the two suitcases. Shen Pingjin played with the ring in his hand and looked at Zhuang Liang with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Mr. Zhuang is very afraid of this Miss Lu."
Zhuang Liang nodded without hesitation, but he didn't want to say more. He stood up and said, "Mr. Shen is lucky. I got what I wanted. I'll leave after the matter is done."
