Chapter 807: Dumbfounded Hana
"Don’t you think it’s time for you to fulfill your promise?" Hana threw Clovis on the bed and sat on top of him, preventing him from escaping.
Clovis smiled wryly. "Aren’t you supposed to be working right now?"
"I’m done. Even if there is still any work left, I’m done for today." Hana harrumphed. "You won’t be able to escape today."
"I know, I know." Clovis let out a long sigh.
"Still, before all that, there’s one more important thing to do..." Hana stopped for a moment. "Welcome back."
"!!!" Clovis widened his eyes. From the way she acted, it was clear she was eager to see the mall. Yet, it looked like she hadn’t forgotten that Clovis had just come back to the group.
Clovis felt defeated. "I’m back. I won’t escape, so can you get up first?"
Hana reluctantly moved back.
"How have you been doing?" Clovis asked while opening the mall system. He added inwardly, ’Blue. Give me the ticket.’
A panel appeared on top of the inventory panel.
[Yes, Master.]
[Processing.]
"I’m good, no... I feel the best now."
Clovis chuckled. "This greedy little goblin."
"I’m not a goblin. Call my greedy fox instead."
"So, you don’t deny the greedy part..." Clovis rolled his eyes.
"Of course. I’m not going to hide how greedy I am. That’s why if you think I’m too greedy, just slap me in the face. I will definitely get a reality check right away." Hana winked playfully. "Besides, you’re the only person."
Clovis smiled and took out the ticket that Blue had prepared. "Hold this."
"Hmm?" Hana held the ticket and examined it. The ticket looked nothing unusual. It was similar to a movie ticket.
[Another World Mall Entry Ticket.]
[Usage: 1]
"Are you ready?" Clovis asked.
"Yes." Hana nodded, her eyes still glued to the ticket.
"Then, let’s go. Enter!" Clovis muttered.
The scenery abruptly changed. Hana felt like her eyes were blind for a second. The next thing she realized, she had entered a mall.
A lot of stores had been opened by Clovis, unlike the first time Clovis entered Another World Mall, where only the grocery store was open.
"This place..."
A beautiful elven woman approached them. She tied her blond hair into a ponytail and wore a white shirt, a red tie, a blue blazer, and a blue pencil skirt.
"Welcome, esteemed customers, to Another World Mall."
"!!!" Hana was startled and hurriedly checked the person. It might be due to the body being based on an elf that her beauty was a bit too shocking for Hana.
"This is... Clovis... Were you cheating on us the whole time?"
"Pfft." Clovis laughed out loud.
"Why are you laughing? If you are cheating on us without saying anything, I’m going to slap you right now!" Hana gritted her teeth.
"I am not. Blue is this mall’s assistant. She is a robot." Clovis pointed at Blue.
"Yes, Madam. I am Blue, Another World Mall’s assistant. I am a robot." Blue lifted up her right arm and pointed to a small gap between her lower and upper arms. It was not visible normally, but at a certain angle, even Hana could see it.
"Thanks to Master upgrading his membership to a certain level, Another World Mall is now open to the people who hold the ticket. Of course, as a bonus, my body has been upgraded as well. This is my former body." Blue raised her hand and created a panel, showing her former form.
"Ah..." Hana didn’t know what to say. It was too absurd for her to tell whether this was a lie or not.
"This is my unique ability. I have two unique abilities. This is the unique ability that I have awakened after awakening, Another World Mall. The food, the painting, the accessories, the clothes, and every absurd thing coming from me originate from this mall.
"Meanwhile, the second unique ability is actually Mara’s unique ability. It’s the same unique ability. I don’t know what’s going on either, but Mara apparently gave me this unique ability, not in this world, but in the world outside this simulation world.
"However, I can’t explain any further about the second unique ability because that’s all I know."
Hana gasped. "Two unique abilities... So, the painting and all other things are not from your blood?"
"What are you talking about? I shed blood in order to earn money." Clovis shrugged. "So, it’s not entirely a lie."
Hana was speechless. "This..."
Clovis’ arm moved around the back of her neck and grabbed her shoulder before he gently brought her to the grocery store. "How about you check it first?"
Hana had a hard time swallowing all the information. It was simply too absurd. But the moment she entered the grocery store, it felt like a gate to another galaxy was opened in her mind.
Name: Cockatrice Nugget
Effect: Increase Muscle by 2.5%
Description: Chicken and snake nuggets.
Price: 800,000 Otherworldly Coins
"This is..." Hana widened her eyes.
"It’s the ingredients that our group usually eats." Clovis raised his finger. "And more importantly, it ignores the absorption rate."
"Absorption rate? Wait." Hana turned to Clovis. "Your absorption rate is supposed to be 15%, right?"
"Yep."
"So, the food here allows you to increase your tier like the geniuses?"
"Yes. And I’m able to help the people on the same tier as me. After all, this mall only offers things of the same tier as me. Of course, Tier 0 to Tier 4 items are still sold in a different section, but no item has a higher tier than my current tier." Clovis nodded.
"Wha—!" Hana didn’t know what to say. It was no wonder Clovis was able to rack up all those achievements. The grocery store was too overpowered. "Doesn’t this mean there will be Tier 8 or even Tier 9 ingredients?"
"Most likely." Clovis nodded.
"If you eat Tier 8, no, Tier 9 ingredients and fill up your evolution progress... Are you going to become a Tier 10? A level that no one in this world has seen before?"
"I don’t know about that, but the potential is there." Clovis nodded.
"Darling..." Hana blinked her eyes a few times. "When are we going to get married?"
"..."
