Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

The sun is bright and the sky is blue.

The restaurant was closed today. Although Clara didn't quite understand why she had to give up such a good opportunity to make money and idle for two days, the gentleman's serious sermon was still echoing in her mind.

'Clara, it's not all work and no play.'

'Work is for life, but life is not just for work. You should rest at least two days a week. Only by combining work and rest can you have a happy life.'

Although what he said sounded nice, he is still in debt. I really don't know where he gets his confidence and leisure from.

Clara held her chin up and looked out the window at the pedestrians and carriages passing by, the ships shuttling back and forth on the sparkling river, the neatly arranged buildings on the opposite bank, and the pleasant and clear sound of the bell tower that stood out from the crowd.

It seems nice to just relax and do nothing, without any pressure, and just sit next to my husband.

"I'm sorry, Clara, there are no playmates of your age around here. How about giving you some pocket money to go shopping?"

Grinding the plant powder, Fan Wei looked up and suggested, "I think you need to buy some new clothes."

"Work clothes are fine." The black and white dress looked like a maid's outfit. Clara shook her head and refused as usual, "Sir, pay off your debts first, otherwise you will be captured by Ms. Rowling."

"Hahaha..."

Pour the black tea into the cup, Fan Wei mixes the powder to increase the aroma with the milk and adds it in, stirring gently with a silver spoon.

"Try it. I have experimented with more than 80 proportions of milk tea."

As for the method of opening up new business areas yesterday, he did not just think about it and leave it at that. His free time was just right for planning the development and designing the future adventure path.

Clara picked up the teacup, took a sip of the new drink that mixed the fragrance of tea leaves with the sweetness of milk, and gave a serious evaluation:

“It’s hot, with a strong aroma and aftertaste, very good.”

"But there's still something missing, right?" Fan Wei blinked and fell into thought.

He felt similar to Clara. The milk tea itself was pretty good and comparable to the famous brands of the past. But for the two of them, ordinary milk tea always had some flaws that could not be made up for.

Lacks a sense of surprise.

After all, I have eaten monster food, and the special taste enjoyment that is much beyond ordinary dishes has directly raised my quality requirements.

In other words, their taste buds have become so picky that ordinary food can no longer satisfy them.

"Monsters make us successful, and monsters also destroy us." With a helpless sigh, it would be fine if the restaurant only had ordinary food, but if there was no drink to match the monster dishes, it would be a huge loss for the customers.

"It seems we have to find a solution from the maze." He stood up and took out a monster encyclopedia from the room. It was sent by Irene from the Sage Tower that morning.

"There seem to be some plant monsters in the first-floor maze."

Fan Wei took a pen and wrote down the names and characteristics of various monsters, intending to discuss with the team and search with this as the target.

"Sir." Clara jumped off the chair and lifted her black hair behind her ears. "Can you buy me something?"

"Oh! Clara finally wants a gift! Tell me, I'll sell everything I have to get it."

"A crescent moon blade."

"Huh? Do girls like this kind of thing nowadays?" Fan Wei thought it was a small jewelry or a new doll.

"I also want to learn how to fight, sir, can you teach me?"

The pair of black eyes looked at Fan Wei quietly and seriously. Clara thought about it for a long time and felt that she should not stop Fan Wei from entering the maze. Some dangers had to be faced.

So she also has to become stronger, and if needed one day, she will be the master's sharp blade.

"Well, Clara will grow up to be a big kid too. She'll have some strength and won't be bullied." With a generous smile, Fan Wei encouraged. He was very open-minded and didn't think girls shouldn't fight.

"I am already seventeen years old, sir, and it has been three years since my coming-of-age ceremony," the girl reminded calmly.

"Huh? Ahaha?!"

Are the appearances of women in another world deceiving? Fan Wei was stunned. She was only four years younger than him...

After going out, the two walked side by side to the famous Red Beard blacksmith's house nearby. When they came back, Clara was holding a light weapon with a graceful curve like a crescent moon and a slender blade that could be used for both chopping and stabbing.

"Come, let me teach you, Clara~"

When they got to the backyard, Fan Wei set up a scarecrow, looking like he was going to show off his skills. He added precious thorium to the weapon he customized for the girl, greatly improving its sharpness and flexibility.

This not only strengthens the weapon, but also increases the danger to the user. A novice who does not use it properly is very likely to get injured or even become disabled!

Swoosh! The sound of the sword being unsheathed interrupted Fan Wei's eagerness to try. With a flash of cold light, the scarecrow broke at the waist and slowly fell to the ground.

"It's quite convenient to use, sir." Clara sheathed the knife and held the weapon in a dignified posture, with a hint of lovely solemnity in her wooden expression.

“…” There must be something wrong. Why does he feel more powerful than me?

"Very, very talented, Clara~" Fan Wei scratched his head and smiled.

This kid must be a rare genius. He was already stronger than me who was much bigger than me before, and now his swordsmanship is also so good...

Imagine the scene in the future where Clara is chopping melons and vegetables in front while you are holding a shield and shouting “666” in the back.

Still quite funny.

"Sir, please don't worry about me. I can continue practicing." Clara said with her head slightly lowered, as if she felt that she had frightened Fan Wei.

"Of course, I'm definitely relieved about Clara~...Well, call me if anything happens."

"Ok."

Mr. Eye returned to the restaurant. Clara gripped the weapon in her hand. She could feel a force stirring, tempting her to commit murder and create terror!

A power so cold, so dark, so desperate... that it changed the color of her hair and eyes.

Clara used to be unhappy, but now she feels comforted. She has the same hair color and pupils as her husband. Perhaps this is the proof that they are connected to each other.

"Swish--" The blade light was faster than the whistling wind, and the scarecrow standing on the ground, including the foundation, was completely split into two.

The power of destruction eroded all traces completely, leaving a faint mark on the ground. The emblem was no different from the supreme and precious marks on the temple.

Clara glanced at it, and the wind blew away, and the mark disappeared.

She was going back to the restaurant to clean up.

"Fan~ Have you missed us after not seeing us for a day?" The doorbell rang and Yani and her brother came to visit.

After getting familiar with each other, the girl's arrogance became much less. Perhaps she was a romantic girl to begin with, but she was under too much pressure in the past few days and seemed quite depressed.

"Ding ding, here's the money from the mission." The girl took out her wallet and put it on the table.

"Seventeen petrified crystals were sold for nineteen silver coins. Based on your contribution, you should get the lion's share. How about ten? We can divide the rest."

The distribution method of the Baimu team is very fair, those who are capable get more, and it is also a bit humane.

Uncle Bernoulli, who suffered the biggest loss, can get one more silver coin.

"In addition, we secretly sold the equipment and belongings of those guys and exchanged them for seven or eight silver coins. We used the silver coins to pay for some supplies, appraisal fees, and your registration fee and insurance."

“The rest is saved for public events, which is how we deal with small windfalls.”

Fan Wei smiled, feeling that the team was too professional and standardized, they even had insurance. He had also heard of adventurer insurance, and as long as he could provide proof, the guild could reimburse a certain amount of resurrection and medical expenses.

But not all teams will provide insurance for their players.

"Haha, from now on please call me a level 5 adventurer, Miss Yani~!" After handing over the proceeds, Yani puffed out her chest and showed off her new badge.

Roddy looked at his sister helplessly and took out a badge and a horn from his waist bag.

"Fan, your badge has also been updated. You are now a level 2 adventurer."

"As for this horn, we asked Ms. Su Fuli to help identify it and confirmed it to be a red-level secret treasure."

"Blowing it can buff the identified comrades, increasing their strength, speed, and spirit, and strengthening them by more than half. If you fill this horn with water, you can create thunder elixir."

"Nectar can expel evil spirits and resist certain poisons and curses. Drinking it will unleash powerful power."

"Maintain for five minutes. The horn can only be made three times a day."

"In addition, the horn itself has two skills, releasing 'Roar of Thunder' and 'Summon Thundercloud', both of which have very powerful attack capabilities."

Fan Wei was a little stunned after hearing this, "So amazing?!"

"Yes, this is still the most basic red secret treasure. I can't imagine how terrifying the secret treasures that come after it will be." Rody also sighed and handed the horn to Fan Wei.

"Fan, since you got it, I'll give it to you for safekeeping."

Holding a secret treasure in his hand, he felt as if his entire being had appreciated a lot. Fan Wei weighed it, smiled, and handed it back, "You keep it, Rody."

"You won't be able to use this in battle, so you are more suitable. As the most powerful assistant, you can directly increase the strength of the team a lot!"

Roddy's palms trembled slightly, and he looked at Fan Wei with his eyes, a bright smile on his gentle and handsome face, "I will fulfill this duty meticulously as long as I can gain Fan's trust!"

"Haha, everyone has their own duties. Now that we are here, let's have lunch before leaving."

It's a pity that there are not enough people and the business is considered a failure, otherwise Fan Wei could have brushed up his skills on his days off.

Roddy nodded, and suddenly his expression became serious and he said, "By the way, Fan, something big happened in the maze today, and we just found out about it."

"The ancient ruins have been occupied by a strange bug. Countless adventurers have been killed or injured, and the safety of the market has even been threatened. The guild is gathering everyone to fight back."

"The mission adventure level is set at level 15, and even the second level has people coming!"

Bugs? Fan Wei frowned and thought, what kind of bug is so powerful! I hope it won’t affect the maze exploration he prepared.

......

At the door of the maze, an inconspicuous light blue patterned beetle slowly crawled out from the light curtain.

It seemed that it was not used to the world outside the maze. It let out a rustling sound, then opened its gorgeous shell and flapped its wings to fly into the sky.
