“Saving a life is a good deed. Furthermore…” Xix placed her hand in Lulu"s big hand, and smilingly said, “With Lulu around, it"s not cold at all.”
“Hehe.” Lulu smiled bashfully before placing the coat back on Xixi again.
Yabemiya, who had a lot of words of grat.i.tude to say initially, suddenly choked on her words. There was only one word in her heart now: goodbye!
“Alright, Miya, you have to go back to take care of that lady now. She had exhausted her physical and mental strength greatly. However, it"s fortunate that her wounds were treated in time, so the situation is not too bad. After she wakes up tomorrow. she will be able to move around freely. But, to recover fully, she"ll have to at least rest for a month,” Xixi explained with a smile.
“Got it.” Miya watched Lulu and Xixi walk away hand-in-hand for a distance before she turned about and went in.
Although Elizabeth, who was lying on the bed, was still wearing that shredded skirt, the horrible wounds on her had already healed and became light red scars. Blood had also returned to her pale face. The Life Magic that Xixi used had a great healing effect.
What happened to Miss Elizabeth after she left here? Why is she so severely hurt? Yabemiya looked at Elizabeth and felt sorry for her.
I have to change her out of these clothes. She would feel bad if she wakes up and sees her clothes like this, right? Even though we don"t know who treated the wounds for her, like what Babla said, this treatment method is… so perverted, Yabemiya thought. She went to get a basin of water and wiped Elizabeth"s body. Then, she went to the cupboard to get the pyjamas that she wore previously and changed them for her.
After she kept everything, Yabemiya, who had changed into her pyjamas, stood next to the bed and looked at Elizabeth. She mumbled, “It should be fine that I sleep next to her, right?
At the same time, Mag, who had just tucked Amy in, lay on his bed to enumerate his rewards today.
“Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission, you have captured a Fiery Pig successfully! You will be rewarded with a copy of the red braised pork recipe, and it"s already in!” The system"s voice sounded in Mag"s brain. A s.h.i.+ny golden experience bag appeared in Mag"s brain.
Mag didn"t tap to open it; instead, he smilingly asked, “System, convert for me. What"s the value of those treasures that I seized today?”
“Based on the recent market valuation, the estimated value of the treasures seized by the Host today is roughly about 1.530 billion copper coins,” the system replied rapidly.
“Interesting.” The smile widened on Mag"s face. Today"s trip was a fulfilling one. Besides getting the red braised pork recipe, he even got 1.5 billion copper coins.
“System, I have 1.5 billion here and 300 millions downstairs, which is a total of 1.845 billion copper coins. I"ll like to buy 2 strength points from you so I can return to my peak form. Deal?” Mag asked expectantly in his heart. Although 1.8 billion was a huge sum, if it could restore him to his peak form, he wouldn"t hesitate to throw it all to the system.
“No.”
The system"s answer was quick and decisive.
“Not even 1.8 billions? System, ain"t you getting too greedy?” Mag frowned.
“Please respect this system, Host. This is a G.o.d of Cookery Cultivation System, and not a system that you can pay to upgrade. Although paying would make one stronger is an universal law, this system is one with his own morals and bottomline.
“Improving the host"s capabilities is to make sure the Host could protect himself in this alternate world while he is working on improving his culinary skills.
“But, the Host has to remember his priorities. You came to this world to be punished. You have come to become the G.o.d of Cookery under this system"s supervision, and at the same time undertake the great mission of conquering this world with Earth"s cuisines. You are not here to conquer this world with might!” The system"s righteous voice sounded.
“Therefore, you are not selling it?” Mag frowned.
“Sell! Of course, I"m selling it!” the system answered quickly. “However, the Host"s capabilities increment has exceeded this system"s predetermined range. To prevent being struck down by lightning if we were discovered by G.o.d, this system has to impose necessary restrictions on your capabilities upgrade!”
“The meaning is?” Mag frowned even harder.
“The Host is only allowed to buy 0.5 strength points from the system in a month. The system will do an evaluation after a month to decide if the Host is allowed to purchase again. At the same time, the system will not open the purchase permission for strength points after 8th-tier. The Host will have to complete an a.s.signed mission first before receiving the permission,” the system replied.
“No negotiation?”
“No negotiation!”
Mag sighed. It really made him feel melancholic to have money that he couldn"t spend.
What gave Mag a bigger headache was that the last two strength points couldn"t be obtained by purchasing. Judging by the system"s decisive tone of voice, it should be nonnegotiable. It had to be the setup determined by G.o.d.
This put an end to his intention of buying all the strength points he needed using the huge sum of money he would get after selling his shares of the steam engine locomotive.
The most imminent part of improving his capabilities was to return to his top form so he could go to Wind Forest to rescue Irina and defeat all his enemies from the past.
The peace negotiation treaty would be signed three months later. If all the races failed to reach a consensus then, Norland Continent would most probably fall into chaos. He had to make sure that he had the ability to protect himself before that happened.
He might not be able to save this world, but he had to protect Amy properly.
“In this case, I shall use 300 million to buy one strength point,” Mag said in his heart. The earlier he bought it, the earlier the waiting period would pa.s.s. It was a simple rationale that even he could understand.
“Ding! 300 million"s worth of gemstones was already deducted! 0.5 of a strength has already been delivered. Would you like to activate it with the Seven Thunder Strikes now?
“Wait a minute!” Mag jumped down from his bed instantly and walked to the balcony as he said, “System, try to keep a low profile. Don"t let people notice it.”
“Relax. It"s safe when this system does the thunder strikes!” the system consoled.
“Crack!”
“Boom!”
Seven bolts of lightning lit up the sky and woke many people up from their dreams.
Mag covered his vital part with his hands, exhaled a mouthful of white smoke, and rolled his eyes as he said, “System, you promised that it"s safe?” His hair was all standing up and smoking.
“In the safety aspect, this system has already protected the Host perfectly,” the system said while feeling very pleased with itself.
“Hoho, System. d.a.m.n you.” Mag turned and ran downstairs. It was shameful to be b.u.t.t naked.
A person in black clothes appeared at Mamy Restaurant and whispered to himself, “This is the Mamy Restaurant. I wonder if the person that Young Master Timothy wants to kill is here?”
