Novel Bin Chapter 30: MystiServs Shop
Li Wei saw her eagerness and decided, "Then let\'s go. But I will pay for it," he said. He had money, so it was not the time to be stingy.
All the girls nodded in agreement because the food didn\'t cost that much. They soon arrived in front of a food stall.
*Sizzle*
The sounds of frying and cooking resonated throughout, with an appetizing aroma filling the air.
Li Wei gazed at the chef who was cooking the dishes with intense focus. Without hesitation, he activated the Eternal Learning skill.
[Ding, Congratulations! You have learned the side class skill Cooking-38.]
Li Wei was stunned when he saw the level.
\'Level 38 cooking skill? That\'s way too high. Even though the side class skills have a limit of 100, it\'s still a lot because everyone hones their Special Class skills and saves the money for their future generations,\' he thought.
"What happened, brother?" Li Xin asked with a puzzled expression when she saw him stopping and thinking about something.
Li Wei shook his head. "It\'s nothing. Did you find out what\'s on the menu?" he asked.
Just as Li Xin was about to answer, Alice chimed in, "It\'s a special dish, \'Dragonfin Tuna Fritters,\' for today, with their special sauce." She gulped, showing her cat-like nature.
Li Wei nodded, holding back his laughter lest she might think he was treating her like a cat. "So it\'s the special dish. Then let\'s go. We should order it, or does anyone want something different?" he inquired because some people don\'t like fish.
Li Xin and Elva both shook their heads. "Brother, we are both fine with it," Li Xin replied.
"Looks like everyone is okay with it, then let\'s go, take a seat, and order as much as you want," he said with a shrug and looked at Li Xin, who was happy.
\'It\'s a good thing that XinXin is getting along with them. While playing multiplayer RPG games, she did talk to other girls, but it was never face to face, which made her nervous when she first met them,\' he thought, looking for a seat for them, but someone was ahead of him.
Alice was the first to make a move. She quickly grabbed an empty seat. "Hey, come over here, or the seat will be taken by others," she exclaimed with a smile, inviting Li Wei, Li Xin, and Elva.
Li Wei shook his head at her with an amused expression. "Let\'s go; she is very excited," he said, taking a seat while ordering the dishes. In a few minutes, the orders arrived at their table.
Alice looked at the dishes that were served with a mouthful of gulp. "It smells so good," she said as she took a bite. *crunch* "Umm, it\'s delicious," she said, savouring the bite.
Li Wei agreed. "Yes, it tastes good, especially the deep-fried part," he commented as he enjoyed the snack alongside the girls.
After eating a few snacks, they once again strolled around other food stalls, testing different dishes. Li Wei also used his eternal learning skill on the chefs again to see what happens.
[Ding, Skill Learning failed, reason: the skills you want to learn is lower level than what you hold]
Li Wei gazed at the system prompt with a sigh.
\'It\'s really a pity that I can\'t learn the same low-level skills, or I would be able to farm XP without doing anything,\' he thought as they headed towards their next destination.
"Brother, we\'ve arrived," Li Xin said, pointing at the MystiServs shop in front of them.
Alice and Elva also came to tag along; they too wanted to know what kind of party member they would be having.
"Let\'s go inside," Li Wei said, leading them inside the shop. The shop was a normal one with a three-story building.
As soon as they entered, they found a stunning woman around the age of 24 behind the counter. She looked seductive with her tight violet dress that outlined her body while holding a smoking pipe in her hands.
The woman also noticed new customers and turned her attention towards them.
"You kids are back, and with some new additions," she said, recognizing Li Wei and Li Xin, who had come here before, while taking a puff from her tobacco pipe.
"Well, let me introduce myself to the new ones. I am Ninon, the owner of MystiServs shop," Ninon said, introducing herself.
She paused briefly to take another puff of her pipe and then focused on Li Wei. "So, boy, are you here to rent?" she asked.
Li Wei shook his head, denying. "I am not here to rent but to form a contract," he answered. To get a servant, one is needed to form a contract, and every contract is different.
Ninon acknowledged with a smile. "Then which class type do you want, and I think you need a girl, right? But they are much more expensive and come with a lot of conditions,"
"You might have to make some effort to please or it will not be easy to grab them," she said with a sly tone.
Li Wei played dumb, not understanding her intentions. "I want a Healer class, and it would be best if she is a girl," he replied.
There was no way he would get a man as a servant. It was better to get a girl so Li Xin wouldn\'t feel alone.
Ninon decided not to bring up the topic again when she saw him playing dumb. "The healers are rare, and they come with more conditions within the contract. Are you sure?" she inquired for confirmation.
Li Wei nodded without hesitation. "Yes, I am sure. You can bring them."
Ninon didn\'t waste time and ordered a servant beside her to bring the girls.
In a few minutes, the servant returned with three young girls. All were humans aged around 18 to 19, each possessing a strikingly beautiful face.
The first girl appeared cold with a black outfit that suited her violet hair and eyes.
The second girl wore a revealing outfit, showing her fair skin. With a red dress and blonde hair, she looked appealing.
The third girl looked depressed, not showing her thoughts. With short silver hair and sapphire eyes, she looked like an otherworldly beauty, especially with her untainted white outfit.
Ninon addressed Li Wei with introductions. "Let me introduce them to you. The first girl is Claude. In the middle is Coline, and the last one is Olivia. They are all healers. You should also introduce yourself to them."
Li Wei nodded and turned his attention toward the girls. "I am Li Wei, and I want a Healer in my party," he stated shortly.
Ninon turned toward the girls. "You can state your conditions for the contract. The contract will last for one year, and if you still haven\'t earned enough money to pay the debt, then you will become a servant again," she reminded.
The girls nodded; they too knew the rules. They became servants because they needed money urgently and borrowed from the MystiServs in exchange for becoming servants.
Claude, with a cold expression, asserted her terms. "I am Claude. In the one year of the contract, I want whatever money I earn. You can\'t do anything to me without my consent, and I also want the right to terminate the contract. Plus, you will be responsible for my living expenses."
Li Wei nodded and didn\'t say anything, turning his attention toward Coline.
Unlike Claude, Coline let out a smile. "I am Coline. My request is the same as hers, but if you want to do something, you can just tell me before, so I will be prepared," she said with a seductive wink.
Li Wei became stiff at her conditions.
\'What kind of condition is this? What do you mean you will be prepared if I informed you ahead?\' he exclaimed in his mind, thinking if this girl had a few screws loose.
Li Xin, Elva, and Alice were also stunned, their eyes widened as if they had discovered an alien.
Alice came beside Li Xin and whispered in her ear. "Li Xin, be careful, or she might steal your lovely brother."
Elva also joined in. "Yes, if he decides to choose her, stop him. If he doesn\'t agree, we will beat him together. Don\'t worry, Li Xin; we will support you," she said with a whisper.
Li Xin blushed faintly, shaking her head. "You\'ve got it all wrong," she denied hurriedly and gazed at Li Wei. "Besides, he won\'t choose her," she said, shrugging off the idea.
Alice nodded with her unprecedented understanding. "So, that\'s the case; you\'ve already conquered him in this area. It\'s no wonder you are that confident. But why didn\'t we hear anything at night? It was all silence?" she asked with a puzzled expression.
Li Xin\'s face turned as red as a tomato. "I said you\'re wrong; our relationship isn\'t like this," she denied hurriedly again.
Just as Alice wanted to continue teasing her, Elva intervened, silencing her with a playful threat. "Be careful, or you might end up embarrassed in public," she then turned towards Li Xin, who was still blushing like a tomato. "Li Xin, don\'t listen to her nonsense; she\'s an utter idiot," she asserted.
Alice glared at Elva when she called her an idiot but didn\'t say anything when she felt her hands near her tail.
Li Wei, who was in front, didn\'t hear their interactions and looked at the last girl, who was still silent.
Olivia saw him looking at her and sighed. "I am Olivia. In the one-year contract, I want all the money I earned. You can\'t do anything to me without my consent, and you will be responsible for my living expenses," she conveyed in a calm and emotionless manner.
Li Wei nodded and turned toward the party members behind him. "What do you think?" he asked.
Alice and Elva shook their heads in unison. "It\'s your party; you should decide."
Li Xin also agreed with them. "Yes, brother, you should decide."
Li Wei saw they didn\'t have any problems letting him choose and turned toward the three girls.
\'Among the three, only Olivia and Claude seem like good girls. As for Coline, it will be no good, especially if she tries to influence Li Xin negatively,\' he contemplated.
Observing Li Wei\'s contemplation, Ninon inquired, "Who are you going to choose?"
Li Wei looked at Olivia, who sighed again when she saw his gaze fixed on her. "I will form the contract with Olivia," he responded to Ninon.
