A foreigner's journey

"Magic crystal?" Tifa poked her head curiously and carefully observed the three cobblestone balls in the box.

These three spheres, called [Magic Crystals], are green, yellow, and blue in color respectively, and the fluorescence they emit is very beautiful.

"Simply put, it is a crystal formed after highly concentrated magic crystal. Naturally formed magic crystals are very rare, so generally speaking, all you can see are products obtained through artificial refining. Embedding magic crystals into portable equipment You can use the power within it. If you are a [Special Forces] who has been soaked in magic, you can also implant magic crystals with corresponding attributes into your body, which will be more effective."

As Heather explained, she picked up the small card in the corner of the box. The card contained the attributes, abilities and application matters of the three magic crystals in detail.

The green one is the magic system - [Cold Air], which allows the user to cast cold magic, such as [Blizzard], [Big Blizzard] and so on.

The yellow one is the command system - [Qi Gua]. After use, it can not only alleviate the poisoning abnormality of the holder to a certain extent, but also speed up the healing of wounds to a certain extent. Of course, only small wounds that are not serious, injuries such as fractures still need to go to the hospital for treatment.

The blue one is the support system - [Attribute], which needs to be combined with the previous [Cold Air] magic crystal. If [Cold Air] and [Attribute] are embedded on a handy weapon at the same time, it can give the weapon a strong The best thing about the cold attribute attack is that this attribute attack consumes very little physical energy on the user.

[Cold Qi] Fortunately, [Qi Gua] and [Attribute] are very rare magic crystals, the kind that even if you have money, you can't buy them. Naya's family is worthy of being a senior member of Shinra, and they can even get such high-end goods.

Heather played with the magic crystal for a while, then picked up the thick envelope. After opening it, both Tifa and Mare covered their mouths in surprise.

Because there was a thick stack of banknotes in the envelope, at least a hundred banknotes at a rough count, all of which were brand new thousand-yuan banknotes that smelled like ink.

"Did this idiot withdraw all of Wild Rose's liquidity?"

Heather put the money back into the envelope, resealed it, and then threw it to Tifa: "Send the money to Naya tomorrow and tell her that I accepted the [Magic Crystal], but we can't discuss the [money] beforehand." within the conditions.”

100,000 GIL... Tifa held the thick envelope with both hands and felt that the envelope was getting hot. She carefully put the envelope filled with money back into her handbag, and when she was preparing to go to bed at night, she put the bag next to her pillow and never left her body.

After finishing the beef roll, Heather left the dishwashing and cleaning up to Tifa as usual, patted her butt and returned to the room with the box containing the magic crystal.

The only people left on the first floor were Tifa who was washing dishes and Mare who was sitting on a chair smoking.

"If you don't take it seriously if you don't care about 100,000 GIL, should you say that Heather has a backbone, or should you say that he is stupid?"

Marley slowly exhaled a burst of smoke and shook her head: "However, this kid is capable after all. Maybe 100,000 GIL is really nothing to him..."

Tifa's washing of dishes slowed down, she turned her head to look at Mare, and asked hesitantly: "Grandma Mare, what does Senior Brother do in his daily life?"

"You want to say, looking at this guy's idle life, where does he get his money?"

"Well...I didn't say that senior brother is idle..."

"Hehe, you can't guess what he does." Ma Lei took another puff of cigarette and laughed.

Tifa couldn't help but asked softly and repeatedly, and Mare finally revealed the truth: "Okay, okay, Heather is a [novelist]."

"Little novelist!?" Tifa's tone revealed shock. She had guessed the source of Heather's money countless times, including [Eating the Dark], [Collecting Protection Fees], [Professional Bodyguards], [Mysterious Killer]... After guessing so many options, Tifa actually heard the most from Mare's mouth. The impossible one.

"I don't know the specific name of the novel, but it is said that it was not published in Midgar, but it is very popular on Wutai. So you don't have to worry about his financial problems, at least it will not be a problem to support yourself."

Hearing Ma Lei's words, Tifa suddenly remembered the scene when she first met her senior brother. That desk in room 202, as well as the books and papers stacked on it, are they the novels written by my senior brother? I thought it was a death list of debtors.

Completely unaware that her thoughts had been led astray by Heather, Tifa said goodbye to Mare after washing the dishes, and returned to her room with her satchel in her arms.

The senior brother is no longer as mysterious as he was at the beginning, which makes Tifa trust him more and feel more at ease.

She sat by the bed and looked at the wall. Her senior brother might be writing a novel in the next room, or playing with the three magic crystals. After a tiring day, Tifa was thinking wildly, then she lay on the bed and fell asleep with her bag in her arms.

In the dream, I can still see the overwhelming fire, my father’s smile, my mother’s warm embrace, the water tower under the night sky and the blond boy with a ponytail. Only this time, her heart was no longer empty.

…………………………

In the early morning of the next day, after practicing the first and second forms of the Zangan-ryu fighting technique formulated by Heather, Tifa hurriedly bought breakfast and rushed to the downtown area of ​​​​Bafan Street.

After taking the envelope from Tifa, Naya sighed slightly with a little loss, then smiled and shook her head and said that she didn't need any more explanation from Tifa, she understood what Heather meant.

In this way, Tifa lived a busy and fulfilling life every day.

I don't know if it was because of her martial arts training, but she picked up the bartending skills very quickly, and she quickly learned it well, which impressed Hiz and Naya. Following Kokoli between the wine tables every day, she gradually learned how to get along with those drunkards and drinkers.

The beautiful waiters at the Wild Rose Bar have become a major drawcard for attracting customers.

Soon, April passed, May came, and it was the day of the bartender qualification examination.

There is no need to worry or be nervous. Both Naya and Tifa know that the assessment can only be regarded as a formality, because Tifa's bartending skills have almost caught up with Hitz.

Naya sat on a bar stool imitating a customer, while Tifa stood behind the bar as a bartender. She first answered in detail the origins, pros and cons of the five bottles of wine Naya ordered, and then demonstrated SHAKE's bartending skills.

"Well, this cup of [Golden Dream] is already well prepared."

Naya's red lips left the rim of the glass, put down the glass, and gently applauded Tifa: "Congratulations, Tifa, you have indeed become a qualified bartender."

Next to him, the handsome blond boy Hitz also clapped, and the little beauty Kekoli clasped her palms in front of her chest and smiled from ear to ear.

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

Tifa bowed to the three of them and thanked them, her gratitude coming from the bottom of her heart.

Naya gave Tifa a half-day off, and her face was still slightly red with excitement when she sat on the train. I am no longer the country girl who can only serve tea and water or clean tables and floors. I also have the ability to settle down in Midgar.

She wanted to return to Tianwang Village immediately and tell Granny Marei and her senior brother the good news.
