Chapter 121 Return to Trivia
In this world, don’t think that the powerful and wealthy people in the world of Anzu are just there to eat and do nothing.
Mu Hua was not clear about other aspects, but at least they had controlled prices very well.
Because of their existence, the monetary system of credit points and devil gold coins has not collapsed. Even those powerful adventurers have given them full recognition and cooperation in this regard.
Under the regulation of the federal government, through the unremitting efforts of the powerful and wealthy, they measure the price difference between various resources and processed and manufactured products.
In the manufacturing industries of medical care, pharmaceuticals, equipment, puppets, munitions, etc., the powerful people in the human world control the market of various product costs and finished product prices quite delicately.
Unless it is a cutting-edge product that is truly difficult to replicate, society allows the manufacturing industry to make money, but it will never allow manufacturers to become rich overnight by simply putting together an object.
The so-called sales first and marketing godhood have no place in Loren. They are basically regarded as fraud and can really kill people.
No one cares about luxury goods, you can do whatever you want, it's a matter of willingness. In other words, luxury goods are not selling commodities, they are selling rules.
As for things related to demon hunting, the high price usually means high cost, unless it is the raw material itself.
So, want to get rich? No problem, go to the courtyard! Monsters have everything!
There are more guests at the Deman Hotel. It has the name of a hotel, but the food and beverage is unremarkable and the wine cabinet is rather long. No wonder old Barron and the others don't like the Deman.
Earlier, Mu Hua put up a sign with limited alcoholic beverages next to the bar, which was considered to have calmed old Barron's dissatisfaction with the hotel.
After taking a bath, wearing slippers and pajamas, Mu Hua appeared at the stairs on the first floor of the hotel, carrying two small animals, like a landlord.
Well, although there is nothing wrong with hanging a hotel sign here given the area, facing the empty lobby on the first floor, Mu Hua is still accustomed to calling this place a hotel.
Near the front desk, a young adventurer seemed to be chatting up Tabetha.
Deman at the bar saw Mu Hua, knocked on the table to attract Taibesha's attention, and pointed in Mu Hua's direction.
"See, I said he would be fine." As Deman said to Tabitha, Mu Hua walked up to them.
When she saw Mu Hua appear, a hint of relief flashed across Taibesha's eyes, but her pretty face turned cold again in an instant.
"Hi, Betha. Your friend?" Mu Hua asked with a grin.
"Hmph." Taibesha snorted coldly and turned away, as if expressing her dissatisfaction with Mu Hua's disappearance for several days without reason.
The life of an adventurer is not so peaceful, as they often enter the courtyard and sometimes disappear for a few days and then disappear forever.
"Hello, Marvin, you are..." The young man next to Tabitha introduced himself and looked at Mu Hua who was in pajamas.
"Mu Hua, you can call me Mu. I have to say, you have a good taste." Mu Hua winked at the young man, and the young man named Ma Wen immediately showed a little more enthusiasm on his face.
"Haha, I just came to this town and I'm not familiar with it yet. I heard that the Dandelion Inn can meet some new adventurers who need to form a team. Mu, nice to meet you." The young man smiled cheerfully.
"Newcomer? Then maybe you should talk more with Betha." Mu Hua looked at Taibetha.
"Huh, you went to the Court of the Dead? You shouldn't have stayed there alone for three days."
"No matter how I talk, there will definitely not be any new adventurer willing to stay with you in the Courtyard of the Dead for three days." Taibetha snorted and complained.
"Haha, it took me some time to get the Skeleton General for you. Besides, this is not a team operation. Look what I brought you?" Mu Hua smiled and raised the two stiff bamboo pigs in his hands.
The transformation of Mu Hua by the keratinized skin lasted too long. Although it was only three days in the outside world, his disappearance without any news still made Taibesha anxious.
In other words, Deman was used to Mu Hua's free and easy nature, and while he was comforting Tabitha, they both thought that Mu Hua had used the key to go to the Courtyard of the Dead.
At this time, Mu Hua had already found an excuse for his disappearance, and helping Taibetha to create the constructed undead seemed to be a good excuse.
Of course, he also wanted Tabitha to get used to his free and easy lifestyle.
As a person, your ability to accept things improves little by little. Although Mu Hua likes his cousin Taibesha very much, he doesn't want to be tied to her by Taibesha.
Get used to it, just get used to it.
When Marvin, who was standing next to Tabitha, heard Mu Hua talking about the Skeleton General, his body visibly stiffened.
The two bamboo pigs dangling in Mu Hua's hands also attracted Taibesha's attention.
There were two bamboo pigs, about forty to fifty centimeters long, round and chubby, with petrified guards on their bodies, and their two little eyes blinked pitifully.
"Oh, there are bamboo pigs in the Courtyard of the Dead?" Tabitha's face lit up with joy, and she obviously liked this clumsy little animal very much.
"Who knows? Maybe it's because there are no monsters over there to eat them?" Seeing that Taibetha's mood had improved, Mu Hua said casually and waved to a living puppet that was wandering nearby.
"Iron Head, come here."
"Correction, number 013 is at your service."
"Okay, okay, got it. Take care of this and give me some pork chops." Mu Hua responded habitually and raised his hand to hand the two bamboo pigs to the living puppet.
"Wait!" Tabitha stopped her.
"You actually want to eat them? Aren't they for me?" The girl stared at Mu Hua in disbelief, her eyes full of condemnation.
"Hmm? They taste good." Mu Hua was surprised, but it was understandable that the little girl was full of love. "Then... then eat one." Taibesha said hesitantly with a tangled expression.
"As long as... you like it." Mu Hua simply stuffed the two bamboo pigs into the hands of Taibesha. Tietou, who was standing by, was at a loss as to how to complete Mu Hua's instructions.
After some selection, Taibesha picked a bamboo pig that she liked more, pursed her lips, and handed the other bamboo pig to Tietou.
Obviously, this girl knows how to live.
"BOSS, these bamboo pigs are quite popular. In fact, they can be raised and bred." Compared to the brother and sister who wanted to try something new, Deman gave more pertinent advice.
"It's okay. I found a nest and caught two. I'll catch a few more for you later." Mu Hua said indifferently.
"Why call me..." Deman muttered. The fat man only gave suggestions and he didn't like trouble.
"Isn't it given to you if you raise it? It's a hotel and there's not even any special food." Mu Hua said as a matter of course.
"What about the dog meat you mentioned a few days ago?" Deman likes ready-made ones.
"Do you really want to run a catering business? Deman, we are a hotel, and providing good service is our top priority."
"Catering is also a service, right? Also, boss, you come out wearing slippers and pajamas to show off, are you sure you want to say service?" Deman felt that Mu Hua's thinking was a little unfocused, and pointed at Mu Hua's pajamas and said.
Well, pajamas. After coming to Loren, Mu Hua's body shape changed a lot. He didn't buy any more clothes, and his Purgatory Armor, well, burst.
The Purgatory Armor condensed by one's own magic power is naturally as comfortable as wearing no clothes.
Wearing the Purgatory Armor for a long time made Mu Hua neglect his attire. If it wasn't for Tuesday's reminder, he almost went downstairs naked.
As for dog meat, what kind of meat is dog?
Not to mention that blood and flesh are needed to make dead bones, Mu Hua can now improve his physical attributes by eating high-quality meat.
Is it important to improve the properties of the hotel? If there is really good meat, why don't you keep it for yourself?
Perhaps only magical beasts like bamboo boars, which are suitable for human taste and whose quality cannot be said to be very high, would be raised by Mu Hua and be raised by Deman.
The three of them were chatting about this and that, and Marvin was a little embarrassed. Mu Hua looked at her inquiringly, and then Tabitha looked at Marvin again.
"Look, this is the vice-captain I told you about. I'm the shield warrior vanguard, and he's the necromancer who commands thirty skeleton generals."
"How about it? Are you interested in going on an adventure with us?" Tabitha asked Marvin insincerely.
Tabitha was a little arrogant in front of Marvin. Mu Hua didn't understand the situation and didn't say much. But Marvin looked embarrassed at this time.
“Thirty skeleton generals?” Ma Wen put away his earlier cheerfulness and confirmed weakly.
"A summoned beast," Tabitha corrected.
"Hehe, you know, I'm a newbie. I actually planned to register when Springer College starts. Demon hunting is just a whim."
"That's good too. He happens to be a professor at the academy, a professor of the Department of Dark Magic." Facing the retreating Marvin, Taibetha pointed at Mu Hua and said.
"dark magic?"
"Oh, no, no. I heard that if I sign up for Springer I will have to take an exam on basic magic theory. I need more time to study." Scratching his head embarrassedly, Marvin stood up and was about to say goodbye.
Marvin is very young, probably even younger than Mu Hua. He does have some student-like temperament, which is why Mu Hua doesn't mind him chatting up Tabitha.
Young people, even if they just want to have fun, it’s hard to say who will play with whom.
If you don't think about things between men and women when you are in your teens or twenties, then you have a psychological problem.
Mu Hua would not disturb Taibesha from finding a young hunk and having a satisfying love affair.
However, it seemed that Taibetha didn't take a liking to the young man in front of her.
"Cousin, do you really want your cousin to be taken to bed by a fool who wants to trick the girl back to her room with a glass of wine in a hotel?"
After watching the young man leave, Taibetha questioned Mu Hua in a soft voice.
"Cough... At least he should be an honest man." Mu Hua coughed dryly.
"Alas, the honest man you mentioned just told me a funny story about how he beat up a necromancer." Tabitha rolled her eyes.
"Um, didn't you say that I'm a professor?" Mu Hua twitched his lips. He actually didn't identify with the profession of necromancer.
"Necromancer Professor." Tabitha sneered.
"Potions professor." Mu Hua corrected.
"Potion teachers are either necromancers or witches. Which one are you?" asked Tabitha.
"Or... I can be an elemental mage, too."
"Okay, okay, let's forget about the honest man's question. Do you want to see your constructed undead?" Taibesha glared, and Mu Hua spread his hands to show his surrender.
