"So convenient?" Surprise flashed in Alicia's eyes, and she couldn't wait to take her bracelet and scan the designated position on the vending machine.
Along with a crisp "Entry successful" prompt sound, the originally dim buttons on the vending machine instantly lit up, as if showing Alicia the rich variety of goods it contained.
"Just press the corresponding button and the items will be delivered to the bottom outlet, dear guest." Michelle bowed slightly and reminded him considerately, "In addition, you can also choose whether the drink is hot, warm, or cold according to your preference."
Alicia listened to Michelle's introduction. She looked at the shiny buttons, thought for a moment, pressed the button representing strawberry milk, and chose the cold option.
Soon, there was a "ding dong" sound from the delivery port below the vending machine, and a bottle of cool, pink strawberry milk appeared in front of us.
Alicia excitedly picked up the milk and gently unscrewed the cap. Suddenly, a sweet strawberry aroma filled her nose.
She couldn't help but take a sip. The cold milk slid down her throat. The sour and sweet taste of the strawberry and the mellow taste of the milk blended perfectly, making her look satisfied.
Alice and Lianna on the side looked at Alicia's actions and followed suit.
Alice chose chocolate milk, while Lianna picked a bottle of banana milk.
Seeing this, other elves also curiously tried to use the bracelet to shop. For a while, the vending machine was very lively.
Alicia took a sip of the strawberry milk in her hand, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind. She turned to ask Michelle: "What if I use the bracelet to shop, but I don't have money to pay when I go out?"
Michelle still maintained a respectful smile and patiently explained: "Please rest assured that the advance amounts for different levels of tickets and VIP bracelets are different. We will set the advance amount reasonably based on the guest's identity and spending capacity, and the situation you are worried about will not occur."
Alicia became even more curious and asked, "Then what is the limit of my Crown Supreme VIP bracelet?"
Michelle bowed slightly and said, "The amount on your bracelet is unlimited, Your Highness Alicia."
"Unlimited!" A hint of surprise and pride flashed in Alicia's eyes, and she felt that her vanity was greatly satisfied.
She raised her chin slightly and said to the sisters of the Elf Guard beside her generously: "I will pay for all the expenses today! Whatever you want to eat or drink, just pay for it!"
"Long live Her Royal Highness the Princess!" The sisters of the Elf Guard cheered excitedly, their eyes full of admiration and gratitude for Alicia.
Stacy and Yuna smiled at each other, then took Alicia to the hot spring water boat nearby, intending to introduce this wonderful underground hot spring world to these elves.
In a tree house not far away, Merlin was quietly looking at Alicia and the others, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.
Then he turned around and looked at the group of people standing in front of him.
Opposite Merlin stood a number of young men and women. The bathrobes they wore were all high-end goods, soft in texture, with exquisite embroidery, and they were obviously worth a lot of money.
The bracelets worn on their hands are at least gold grade, sparkling with an alluring luster under the magic lights.
These people are all descendants of the noble families and aristocrats in the Arcane City. However, in their respective families, they are the direct descendants who are not given much attention.
Among them there was even a descendant of a duke, but despite his noble birth, he still occupied a marginal position in the family.
At this time, these people's faces were full of hesitation, and they were discussing with each other in a low voice.
"Do we really want to do this? Doing so will bring shame to the family. Once the truth comes out, we will definitely be held accountable." A young man frowned and said worriedly.
"Yes, there is no way the family will let us go so easily. The risk is too great." Another woman echoed, her eyes full of fear.
Merlin looked at them, a smile on his face, and said in a bewitching voice: "Now that you have come to this point, do you have any other choice? In your family, you are just marginal figures. When your elder brothers and elder sisters inherit the family business and title, do you think you can still live as easily as you do now? People should always think about themselves, right?"
After hearing Merlin's words, these people couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness in their hearts.
They have indeed been neglected in the family and their future development is extremely limited. Merlin's words seemed to have hit the pain points deep in their hearts.
They looked at each other, and one of them mustered up the courage to ask Merlin, "If we really do as you say, are you really willing to support us?"
Merlin nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, I will use my power in the Arcane City to find a good job for you. How about being a civil servant in the Arcane City? The salary is generous and the status is respected. If you don't want to be an official, you can also do business. I allow you to be the agent of the Merlin Chamber of Commerce. As you know, our products are very popular throughout the continent. As long as you manage it well, you will definitely make a lot of money."
Merlin paused, and continued, "With my help, even if the family behind you wants to cause trouble for you, they will have to think twice. My influence in the Arcane City is not something they can easily ignore."
These people seemed to be persuaded by Merlin. After hesitating for a moment, they finally made up their minds.
They clenched their fists, a look of determination flashed in their eyes, and said in unison: "Okay, we will do as you say, I hope you won't lie to us!"
Merlin smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I won't lie to you. After all, I'm actually afraid that you will tell others in the future, so we have to sign a contract so that everyone can be assured."
As he spoke, Merlin raised a parchment scroll of contract in his hand. Runes on the parchment scroll flickered, emitting a mysterious aura.
At this moment, Merlin's smile became more and more evil, giving people the feeling that he was the devil himself.
Under the enthusiastic guidance of Stacy and Yuna, the elves such as Alicia devoted themselves wholeheartedly to this hot spring feast.
They first came to the magic potion hot spring pool, which was emitting a soft light and the misty water vapor carried a hint of medicinal fragrance.
Alicia was the first to step into the pool, and the warm spring water wrapped around her body. At that moment, it seemed as if all her fatigue was dispelled.
She gently scooped up the spring water, and the water droplets slid down her white arms, sparkling with crystal luster under the light.
Stacy also followed him into the hot spring, her lively eyes full of satisfaction.
Her long hair fell wetly on her back, outlining her graceful back curve.
She stretched her body, and the hot spring water flowed down her body, perfectly showing her exquisite figure.
Yuna always has a faint smile on her delicate face, and her every move is full of charm.
The steam from the hot spring blurred her figure, but at the same time added a touch of hazy beauty to her.
She tilted her head slightly, revealing her slender neck, the lines of which were as graceful as a swan's.
