"So, what are we going to do with the attackers this time?" Melody asked while covering herself with a quilt.
While sitting on the edge of the bed, Clovis looked at the notification on his phone. "Let me see if I win the gamble or not."
"Gamble?" Melody was confused, but when she took another look at the notification, she realized what Clovis was attempting. "Another World Mall?"
The notification was none other than the transfer receipt from Hana. It looked like Clovis had gotten some money from Hana.
"Yeah. You coming?" Clovis nodded.
Melody thought for a moment. "Let me put on my clothes first."
"Okay." Clovis also had to reply to Hana first.
Surprisingly, Hana even made a joke by sending a reply. "You are now blessed by your lady luck. Go for it."
Clovis couldnât help but chuckle.
With this money, he could open a new store. He got a salon the last time he opened the service shop, so he wanted to see whether the next service shop would be useful to him or not.
He first took out Rea. Fortunately, he got the biggest suite, so Rea could fit in here without any problems.
"Sorry for this, Rea. Bear with me for a bit, okay?" Clovis smiled wryly. "I promise that after this, you donât have to stay in the mall anymore."
"Can I even enter? I mean, Rea was inside a moment ago." Melody asked.
"You can. Rea had been inside since yesterday, so the ticket for today hasnât been used up yet. And since itâs my first time entering the mall today, the ticket will reset now. Of course, Rea needs to wait another day to re-enter, but thatâs not a problem."
Rea nodded, understanding the situation.
"Sorry about this, Rea." Melody stroked Reaâs body to soothe her.
"Should we go then?" Clovis asked while extending his hand to Melody.
"Letâs go!" Melody took his hand as Clovis activated his unique ability.
Upon arrival, he immediately called Blue while checking his status.
[Name: Clovis Hacfield]
[Membership: Level 36 (VVIP - 5)]
[Money: 143,376,500,000 Otherworld Coins.]
[Item Limit: 47/Visit]
[Visit: 7 (8)/Day]
Clovis took a deep breath. "Letâs see what we will have this time. Blue, upgrade it."
[Understood.]
Blue immediately upgraded the VIP level.
[-75,000,000,000 otherworldly coins.]
[Youâve leveled up.]
[Youâve opened a new store.]
[Youâve opened a new store.]
"Huh?" Clovis was dumbfounded. "Blue... Why are there two new stores?"
[Itâs not really a new store, but itâs a store that you might need, Master.]
"What do you mean?" Clovis was confused.
[As you probably already know that our mall will open a new store every time you level up your VIP. However, we donât give you a notification for a store whose type is the same as one that has existed before, just a different brand.]
"Yes." Clovis nodded. He knew about this part. There were already so many brands here. In fact, the mall itself was already 60% full. He was expecting that the mall would reach its limit at level 50, if he had calculated it correctly.
[This shop... is very important for you, so I took the initiative to inform you about it.]
"What shop are you talking about?" Clovis asked while frowning.
[Pet Shop.]
"!!!" Clovis widened his eyes. If a pet shop opened, there could only be one meaning. Another collar to tame another beast.
"Pet shop?" Melody didnât know much about the mall, so she didnât understand why Clovis looked so excited.
"If weâre talking about pet shops, one pet shop can give me one collar. In other words, this pet shop will allow me..." Clovis smirked.
"Ah. Youâre thinking about getting another beast?" Melody gasped.
"Yeah. Wait. If we open the pet shop..." Clovis turned to Blue. "What is the service shop?"
[It is actually related to the pet shop.]
[It is... Pet Grooming Shop.]
"!!!" Clovis was stunned again. He hurriedly grabbed Melodyâs hand. "Letâs check it out!"
Melody didnât understand what was going on, so she just followed along.
The moment she saw the Pet Grooming Shop that Blue was talking about, she finally understood why Clovis was so excited about it.
Name: Pet Combat Training
Description: Training your pet to have a higher level of combat power.
Effect: Open 1 Beast Soul
Name: Genius Pet Training
Description: Increase the petâs talent by one whole level. Only effective for the first treatment.
Effect: Talent +1
Clovis gasped. It was as good as he had expected it to be. "This might change the scenario a bit."
It felt like he was indeed blessed with luck.
"If this is the case, I shouldnât be here. If I didnât tag along, you would have the chance to improve your Reolf or Rea."
"Itâs fine. There is still time." Clovis waved his hand. "We can still do it tomorrow and the day after before the hunt begins. And the next family..."
Clovis couldnât help but think of one possibility. There was no way the enemy would attack on day 1. They would wait until Clovis lowered his guard before attacking.
So, he still had enough time to enter the forest and get the beast from the forest.
"Let me take another look at everyoneâs status," muttered Clovis. He had kept track of everyoneâs status, but he rarely looked at Reolf and Reaâs information.
Name: Reolf
Race: Dire Wolf
Grade: 6
Talent: A-
Affinity: 99/100
Name: Andrea
Race: Argentavis Magnificens
Grade: 6
Talent B
Affinity: 94/100
Clovis smiled, thinking about something. "If they get stronger, wonât they be able to restrict the opponent to a certain extent?"
"Talent increases, affinity increases, beast souls, combat power, overall strength... There are so many training services. Will it be done in just one day?" Melody asked while reading the service.
"Of course not. However, itâs good to focus on the several areas that can change the overall situation on the battlefield. Lastly, the third beast." Clovis looked down, contemplating. "I think I can adjust my plan a little bit with this."
"Well..." Melody also had another idea. "I will find all the information about the beasts within that forest. If necessary, should we sneak into the forest before the assembly?"
