Chapter 51

Not long after spring arrived, the weather turned hot.

As the weather got hotter, the ice cream and cold drinks in the freezer became popular. People from both the other world and the earth loved the cool and sweet taste. Jiang Li turned on the air conditioning in the supermarket again, sending a cool breeze every day.

The weather in the other world is unreasonable. The winter in Dolei City is extremely cold, and the sun in the summer is also extremely hot. In early summer, just standing under the sun would make you sweat profusely.

People in the other world are used to this, but Jiang Li finds it a little unbearable. If he can choose, he would rather not go out for the whole summer.

However, although his magic exam is over, his physical training has been raised. Every morning, after arriving in the other world, he would do physical exercises at the request of the elf teacher.

Under the scorching sun, after finishing today's physical exercises, Jiang Li dragged his heavy body to push open the door of the supermarket. Feeling a cool breeze coming towards him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He took a bottle of iced mineral water from the refrigerator and drank half of it in one breath. Only then did he feel alive.

"Teacher." Jiang Li said to Messenner who was sitting behind the cash register, "I'm back."

The silver-haired elf nodded slightly, glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, and then stood up to return the position behind the cash register to the real owner of the supermarket, and walked out.

Jiang Li said casually: "Teacher, are you going out of the city again?"

"Yes."

"Then remember to come back early." Jiang Li reminded: "I heard from Augustus that you came back too late the day before yesterday and were locked outside the city."

At dusk, the city gates of Dore City will be closed. No one can enter or leave unless there is a special order from Lord Dean. Therefore, the elves had to wait outside the city for a whole night.

"..." Messenner paused and responded gloomily.

Watching his figure disappear in the shopping street, Jiang Li rested for a while, and after his strength recovered, he began to organize the warehouse.

He moved out the small shelf that sold warm winter products and placed it in a prominent position next to the cash register, and put sun umbrellas, cooling pads, small fans and other cooling supplies on it, and then wrote on the sign in mainland Chinese: "Summer Recommended".

Before the shelves were arranged, the door of the supermarket was pushed open.

"It's so hot."

"It's still more comfortable inside the supermarket... Irene, can you make a magic circle like this in our house?"

"I've already told you that I didn't learn this kind of magic! And do you know how expensive it is to keep this kind of magic circle running?!"

"Huh? Boss Jiang Li, are you back? We just saw you exercising in the central square."

"Boss Jiang Li, what are you doing?"

Jiang Li turned sideways so that Chris and his companions could see clearly.

"Summer recommendations?" Chris came over curiously: "What are these? I've never seen them before. Are they supermarket-specific products?"

Others also gathered around.

Jiang Li introduced them one by one: "This is a cooling patch, a cooling spray... and a sun umbrella, a sun hat, ice sleeves, flip-flops... By the way, this sunscreen sells very well in the capital."

Long before the weather got hot, several boxes of goods were sent to the capital. According to Augustus's feedback, the noble ladies and daughters in the capital especially loved this product, and they even ranked several different sunscreens. The one that Jiang Li specially displayed was also the most popular one.

Unfortunately, except for Irene, none of the other thick-skinned adventurers were interested in sunscreen.

Even Irene looked away immediately after taking a look at the high price.

Her eyes moved to the small bottle next to her: "Cooling spray? What is that?"

"This is also very popular in the capital."

Jiang Li said, picking up an unsealed bottle of cooling spray from behind the cash register. After asking Irene's opinion, he sprayed some on her back.

She happened to be standing at the air-conditioning outlet. The air-conditioning started to run, sending out a cool breeze, blowing over the place where the cooling spray was sprayed. In such hot weather, there was an icy feeling on her back. Irene shuddered subconsciously, she took a breath of cool air, and said in horror: "Ice, frost magic?!"

Jiang Li looked at her innocently.

"How could it be?" Irene touched her back in disbelief. As a magician, she reacted quickly. There was no trace of ice magic on her back, but it felt real. The heat from being under the scorching sun seemed to disappear in an instant. "It was just...how come it suddenly became so cool?!"

"Is it a magic spray?"

Chris picked up another green bottle with a spray head from the shelf: "Mr. Jiang Li, is this also a magic spray?"

Jiang Li took a look: "No, that is toilet water."

"Toilet water?"

"It's for mosquito bites." Jiang Li paused, not knowing whether the mosquitoes in the other world were the same as those on Earth, and not knowing whether the toilet water on Earth would be effective against mosquitoes in the other world.

But Chris and his companions were very excited, even Irene's attention was attracted: "Mosquitoes! Is this effective against mosquitoes?"

"The weather has become hotter recently, and mosquitoes have come out. We have been tortured by mosquitoes recently." Chris lifted up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms, but they were covered with red dots from mosquito bites, and there were traces of scratching due to the itching. "We originally wanted to plant some carnivorous magic plants to eat mosquitoes, but..."

His companion added embarrassedly: "After Irene poured the hot pot soup on them, they died."

Irene laughed dryly and said: "There is no way, magic plants are very difficult to raise, haha."

Jiang Li: "..."

The group held the floral water as if they had found a treasure: "Can this thing resist mosquitoes?!"

Jiang Li silently took out a box of mosquito coils from the bottom of the shelf: "Why don't we try this. This is a mosquito coil, which is more effective, but the smell will be a bit pungent after it is ignited. There is also insecticide."

There is also odorless electric mosquito coil liquid. But there is still that problem, there is no electricity in the other world.

Everyone looked at the box of crooked black mosquito coils curiously, and gladly accepted the recommendation of mosquito coils and insecticides. They came to the supermarket for other shopping purposes, and each of them carried a basket and scattered behind the shelves.

"Come to think of it, Mr. Jiang Li, have you been exercising in the central square recently?" Chris said casually, "I often see you there. Does practicing magic also require physical exercise? But Irene never moves."

Irene shouted from behind the shelf, "Chris, I can hear you!"

Jiang Li had asked this question before in response to Chris's doubts.

Aren't magicians generally recognized as fragile?

At that time, Messenner answered him seriously, "If you fight a magician and both of you run out of magic power at the same time, how do you decide the winner?"

"..." Jiang Li hesitated.

...Do you magicians from another world still engage in physical combat? !

"A strong enough physique can improve your concentration and reaction ability. On the battlefield, if you are one second slower than your opponent, you may pay with your life."

By the way.

The elf is slender, but he is no match for Messenner in arm wrestling.

Jiang Li came to his senses and said, "Yes, this is also very important. Physical training can help me concentrate, which makes the efficiency of magic practice higher."

Chris suddenly realized: "So that's it."

Soon, the group selected the products they wanted and came to the cashier to pay.

When paying, Chris said, "Wait, I forgot something." He went to the shelf where the drinks were placed and brought back a bottle of white wine: "This is for Eugene."

"Huh? Chris, are you going to find Eugene?"

"I won't go, his house is too hot..."

There is a furnace in the dwarf's house that burns all year round and never goes out. In the hot weather, the dwarf's craftsman workshop is like another big furnace, and everyone who enters has to take off a layer of water.

Speaking of his dwarf friend, Chris couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Eugene hasn't been out for a long time. I'm really afraid that he will faint inside, especially in this weather."

"Ha!" A heavy voice came from outside the door: "Chris, you underestimate me too much. I once lived in the Hell Volcano for a while. Even the high temperature of the volcano didn't knock me down, let alone the city of Dolei."

Everyone looked up when they heard the voice. The dwarf opened the door and walked in from outside the supermarket. After not seeing him for a few days, his appearance had hardly changed, only his beard and hair were more messy, and the curly hair was messily squeezed on his head, almost drowning his eyes.

Chris said happily, "Eugene, so nice to see you."

The dwarf Eugene nodded at him and walked to the cashier skillfully. He took out a handful of silver coins from his pockets, and "blah--" put them all on the cashier.

Jiang Li asked calmly, "Do you want a clock or a flashlight this time?"

"No, no, no, I want something new." The dwarf's beard moved, and he looked a little proud, but soon, his eyes were attracted by the summer shelves next to him: "What is that?"

Chris introduced to his friend enthusiastically: "This is toilet water, that is a cooling patch, and..."

"No, I'm asking, what is this?"

The dwarf walked over with his stubby legs and accurately picked up a small fan that he could carry with him from the shelf.

Chris was speechless and looked at Jiang Li blankly.

Jiang Li said, "This is a fan."

"Fan?" The dwarf played with the gadget in his hand. Soon, he found the switch. With a click, the three blades of the small fan began to turn. As the small fan turned, a cool breeze blew his beard. Chris and others exclaimed in unison. The dwarf's eyes widened in disbelief: "This is..."

Jiang Li said, "A small electrical appliance that can blow air."

"I want to buy this!" The dwarf said decisively.

But he did not decisively pick up the small fan. Instead, he put it back on the shelf. His bright black eyes wandered around the supermarket, trying to find a larger similar product.

Since the first hour, the dwarf has visited the supermarket many times. He bought several clocks and flashlights, dismantling them into small parts for research. At the same time, he also knew that in this supermarket, there was more than one kind of each product, and there were many more complex similar products.

With the intuition of a master forger, the dwarf quickly found a larger fan on the shelf of department store supplies.

"I want this one!" he said.

Jiang Li took a look and said, "That one won't work."

The dwarf was stunned and blew his beard angrily, "Why not?"

Jiang Li: "You can't use that one."

Unlike a small fan, which can be used by installing a battery, a large fan is a long cord that requires a socket and a power system.

"Buy a small fan, Mr. Eugene." Jiang Li persuaded him, "That is not for sale. Even if I sell it to you, you can't use it."

The dwarf glared at him angrily, and seeing that he didn't give in at all, he had to lower his head and mutter angrily. He muttered for a long time, and Jiang Li didn't understand, but he thought he might be scolded.

The dwarf walked back with heavy steps, picked up the small fan from the shelf recommended by Xia Ri, and said viciously: "Okay, human, then I'll take this one."

"And a dozen batteries." He cursed in a low voice: "Energy... damn energy! This is not magic, what is it?!"

Jiang Li settled the bill for him and responded skillfully: "Sorry, Mr. Eugene, that is a trade secret."
