Chapter 483: Online Shopping Is Risky
Helpless, Chen Zhao made a promise which he was not confident at all.
Only then did Yura reluctantly return to bed.
“Brother, remember your promise. I must get 36D.”
What? How much are you misinterpreting your current size?
Yura walked toward her room, leaving many black footprints on the floor. Behind her, a group of underlings, with rag in their hands, were ready to go.
The next day…
Yura woke up very early. Chen Zhao and Fali were still sleeping.
But when she went downstairs, she realized there was movement in the kitchen.
Yura ran into the kitchen to discover that the stove was on. There was even a fried egg in the pan above it.
Beside the stove was a gla.s.s of milk. A few pieces of bread popped out from the toaster.
I knew it! There have to be little elves somewhere!
Yura suddenly ran back to the living room and saw a greenish thing disappear behind the sofa.
“Come here! I saw you!”
Yura leaped on the sofa but did not find anything.
Soon, Chen Zhao and Fali woke up. After was.h.i.+ng up, they still felt rather sleepy.
When they went to the living room, they saw Yura standing there with her arms crossed, her face filled with a displeased look.
“Yura, morning.”
Yura was still unhappy about how she failed to catch the “little elf.”
She stared at Chen Zhao and Fali. They were not at all surprised by the prepared breakfast, as if they were already used to it.
They definitely knew what was going on.
However, Yura knew that they would not answer her truthfully.
It"s fine. You cannot argue with me after I find the evidence myself!
As usual, Fali kissed Chen Zhao goodbye.
Then, Chen Zhao jumped into the lake and started swimming. The morning lake water was very cold.
But it could stimulate one"s cells. This was why some old people liked to swim in winter.
The coldness could activate their cells and burn their fats to produce heat.
Those with less active cells could use such stimulation to let their bodies temporarily regain its vigor.
Of course, it would not work for everyone.
Firstly, winter swimming was rather dangerous.
If the rate of fat burning was too slow, the coldness would paralyze one"s limbs, which could lead to nerve injuries.
One had to slowly adapt to the temperature, and not jump into freezing water directly.
That would be suicide instead of winter swimming.
Yura sat beside the lake. She touched the water with her toe and immediately withdrew it.
“It"s freezing!”
“Hi, are you Ms. Herretia?”
“Yes.”
“We"re from Hexagram Delivery. Your items are here.”
“Carry them to the warehouse at the back please.”
After the worker did so, the person in charge asked for Herretia"s signature.
“Ms. Herretia, you"re trying to make a magic puppet, right?”
“Huh? You can tell?”
“All the items you"ve ordered are materials needed for magic puppets,” the person in charge said with a smile.
Herretia signed the paper and the delivery people left. Then, she began to a.s.semble the magic puppet.
Every good sorcerer killer must know how to make and repair magic machinery.
The creation and a.s.sembly of a magic puppet was complicated and tedious.
For this, Herretia had specially rented a house in Mountain Town.
With the entire afternoon, she finally completed the upper body of the puppet.
“Praise you, life born from violence. Please hear my call and awake from chaos!”
Herretia waited for a long while but the puppet did not move. She cast the spell again. “Please awake!”
“Why is it not moving?” Herretia examined the puppet and discovered the problem at once. “d.a.m.n, the magic stone is empty!”
In her anger, she called the platform Hexagram.
“Hi, how may I help you?”
“h.e.l.lo, I"m making a complaint. The magic stone that I bought from your platform is empty. It doesn"t even have a bit of magical power.”
“Sorry, but did you check the items before signing the paper?”
“What? I bought the items from your platform because I trusted you.”
“We"re not responsible for items that have been signed.”
“How can you sell fake items to me?”
“Very sorry, but we can"t be sure if you"ve used the magical power in the stone, so we cannot accept your complaint.”
“I curse you! I curse that you go bankrupt!” Herretia roared.
“Thank you for your feedback. We"ll continue to improve. How else may I help you?”
“All of you, go die! Don"t let me find any of you, or I"ll turn you into mummies!”
“Thank you for your suggestion. If you are satisfied with the service, please press 1. Very satisfied, press 2. Extremely satisfied, press 3. If you do not require any other help, please hang up.”
Herretia flung the phone on the floor in fury. “a.s.sholes!”
But there was nothing she could do since the items were already here.
Herretia could only remove the magic stone and fill it with her own magical power.
While a magic stone could be used repeatedly, filling it would use all her magical power.
Therefore, in the next ten days, Herretia would neither be able to cast a spell nor have the energy to continue her task.
“Chen, I"ve finished making the magical power potions. You can come and take them now.”
“Sure.” Chen Zhao hung up.
He turned to look at Yura. “Yura, let"s go out and play.”
“No. I"m staying here.”
Yura could not forget the little elves that would do housework at home. In her mind, she was determined to find them. Chen Zhao was speechless.
“Do you still want your 36D?” Chen Zhao"s face darkened.
He was precisely worried that Yura would explore the house randomly. It would be troublesome if she were to go downstairs.
In bas.e.m.e.nt two, h.e.l.lhound and Little Nine were still sleeping.
Yura lowered her head and stared at the wide view before her chest. She was clearly hesitant.
“You promised I"ll become 36D, right?”
“Yes, I"ll think of something, but you have to listen to me.”
“Fine. Where are we going?”
“A friend"s house,” Chen Zhao said.
“What"s there to play with in your friend"s house?”
“Nothing.”
“Then why must you bring me along?”
“I"m worried that you"ll be lonely here.”
“I will not.”
“Just listen to me!” Chen Zhao"s face darkened. “Do you still want 36D?”
“This again? Can you threaten me with something else?”
“I don"t care, as long as it works.”
