Chapter 30

After consuming the fruit, Su Yao immediately felt a surge of heat emanate from her dantian, coursing through her entire body. In no time, her whole body grew warm, and beads of sweat formed on her forehead.

[Host's physical constitution enhanced, gained one card draw opportunity.]

"Why haven't these items been added to the personal center?" Su Yao noticed the increased number of card draws but couldn't find the physical data.

Taking advantage of the system's appearance, Su Yao hurriedly inquired. The system responded instantly:

[The host can only see their own and others' physical data after synthesizing the Omniscient Glasses.]

The term "omniscient glasses" was something Su Yao had only encountered recently.

To synthesize it, a data card and data glasses are needed. Su Yao just happened to draw a data card, which means that all she needs to do now is draw a pair of data glasses.

However, this matter is not urgent. What Su Yao is anxious about now is asking the system about the situation just now, "Why did the garbled text appear, and why didn't you respond to me just now?"

[I don't know either, I was inexplicably disturbed. There shouldn't have been a mysterious fruit; usually, we only harvest one thing... I didn't respond because I was dealing with a virus.]

Su Yao's eyes widened slightly, and she realized, "I'm actually quite lucky!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the non-humans at the table all turned to look at her. Even a hint of surprise appeared on Felix's usually indifferent face.

Ya had known Su Yao the longest and was well aware of her luck. At this moment, she hesitated, unsure of what to say.

Su Yao didn't notice their strange expressions. After all, the only one with a normal-sized human face was Felix, and his expression only changed for a fleeting moment before quickly returning to a blank look. So Su Yao remained optimistic and said, "Mutant plants in flower pots usually only yield one thing, but this time I got two! I guess I have a bit of good luck!"

Ya: .....

Ya thought Su Yao would give an example of how she always turns misfortune into fortune.

However... this mysterious fruit did indeed appear very strangely, as if by sheer luck. You should know, even among non-human races, it is rare to find something that can alter one's constitution.

Ya felt that she was quite lucky too; she had encountered Su Yao, a person who could part with something so precious so easily!

After a moment of self-reflection, Ya began to loudly agree, "Yes! I also think Ayao is very lucky! I am very lucky to have met Ayao too!"

Su Yao received approval and happily held the elegant card, sticking it again and again. She was finally no longer the unlucky one who could only get three useless items after drawing cards three times and needed the system's welfare items to make up for it!

Who understands the obsession of the unlucky one!

Zhan Xing laughed as he watched the scene, finding it more and more amusing the longer he looked. He couldn't help but nod and praise, "I used to tell my old buddies that my body shines with golden light, which surely brings good luck. Look, I've only been here a short while, and you've already become lucky too."

Su Yao knew that Zhan Xing had this kind of personality, so she didn't care who he was praising in his words. She was just happily smiling like a fool.

Felix: ..

It was his turn to be speechless.

After eating the mysterious fruit, there was still a large sugarcane on the table.

Su Yao put her hands on her hips: "One more time, if I'm lucky, this sugarcane will be sweet!"

Ya and Zhan Xing, rarely showing their childlike side, looked expectantly at the sugarcane on the table.

Felix couldn't help it and said, "This must be sweet."

"You think I'm lucky too, don't you!"

Felix received only one cheerful sentence from Su Yao, and his melancholy almost couldn't hold on.

After a few seconds of silence, Felix finally nodded and admitted, "Yes."

Su Yao was the first to pick up the cut sugarcane, ready to taste it. Next to her, Ya and Zhan Xing were closely watching Su Yao's expression.

If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

Eating sugarcane also became tense and exciting.

Spitting out the sugarcane pulp, Su Yao's smile reappeared, "It's sweet."

All non-humans rejoice!

Even Felix was infected and clapped his hands twice.

The only one who might not be very happy was the system. After running the antivirus, it didn't find anything suspicious, and in the end, it could only conclude the scan amidst Su Yao and the others' laughter, and issue a new task.

[Next task: Complete the study of "Intermediate Practical Magic."]

[The host has been a bit lax recently; the progress in magic studies needs to be accelerated. You can't rely on the protection of the inn and neglect improving your own strength!]

The arrival of the mission was sudden, but the system's words made sense.

She was certain she needed to speed up her learning.

After the small gathering at the inn dispersed, Su Yao returned to her dormitory to study magic.

Days passed by, the newly planted wheat in the flowerpot grew taller, and Su Yao finally finished studying "Intermediate Studies."

[Congratulations to the host for leveling up in magic. Your current magic experience points are 100. You need 5000 more experience points to reach the next level.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 3 card draws.]

On the morning of July 1st, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains into Su Yao's room.

After Su Yao washed up, she tore off the June page from the calendar.

"Ayao! I want to eat rice noodle rolls this morning!"

A few days ago, Su Yao was craving Cantonese dim sum, so she went to the system mall and bought a bunch. Ya, on the other hand, had a particular fondness for rice noodle rolls and had been ordering them for several days in a row.

Su Yao certainly wouldn't be stingy with these few gold coins. Since Ya said she liked it, she exchanged it for her.

Su Yao turned her head to look at Felix and Zhan Xing, who had already appeared in the restaurant. "Would you like to order?"

Zhan Xing shook his head: "No, I haven't had buns for several days. I'll have some buns today."

Felix had been here for a few days and felt he had become quite familiar with Su Yao. The most noticeable change after getting to know her better was that he was willing to talk: "No need, I'll have some buns too."

Su Yao bought rice noodle rolls for Ya and got herself a box of braised beef-flavored instant noodles.

The noodles hadn't even softened yet when Su Yao first received news of a guest arriving.

[There are seventeen potential customers heading towards the hotel. Please prepare to receive them.]

[One Level 7 Fire Mage, one Level 5 Earth Mage, one Level 5 Metal Mage, one Level 5 Mage, three Level 4 Mages, and eleven Level 3 Mages.]

"So many people!"

The hotel had never seen so many people since it was established!

The noodles were ready, and their aroma filled the entire restaurant. The team of seventeen mages arrived at the inn's entrance.

"Hello, boss. May I check in now?"

A beautiful woman with braided hair stepped forward to inquire of Su Yao.

Immediately, two more voices came from behind the crowd.

"Why ask? There's no one in the Misty Forest. Her shop is definitely empty, so of course, you can stay there."

"Energy stones, energy stones! Boss, we're here!"

These two voices were both familiar to Su Yao.

Su Yao searched through the crowd and indeed saw a familiar person.

The first voice was Jennifer's, accompanied by Beck, Betty, and Stephen. They were the first guests Su Yao had formally received, and she hadn't forgotten their generous demeanor. The system detected that there were no magicians below level 3 in the team, indicating that Betty had also advanced to level 3 during this period.

The second voice was much rougher, but no matter how rough it was, it couldn't hide the "clear stupidity" within it. This was Peng Er's voice. The two level 5s in the team should be Peng Yi and Peng Er.

Su Yao's smile remained unchanged, but in reality, she was frantically questioning everything.

What's going on? How did they end up together again?

"Jennifer, don't be so rude!"

The middle-aged man standing next to Jennifer criticized her after hearing what she said.

"Dad!" Jennifer pouted, clearly a bit upset at being embarrassed in front of so many people.

Upon hearing this address, Su Yao took a closer look and found that the two indeed bore some resemblance in their facial features.

Before Su Yao could observe further, the woman with the braided hair standing at the front of the crowd spoke again: "Boss, don't mind her. She's still young and speaks without thinking. She really means no harm."

"We came from the north today and haven't rested for several days. Can we stay here now?"

As she spoke, a young man to the left of the woman with the braided hair took out a bag of gold coins.

It looks like there are ten thousand!

Su Yao had a vague feeling that something was off, but it was hard to let go of the gold coins she had already received. "Accommodation is possible, but we only have four single rooms and four double rooms available, which can only house 12 people."

"Is it possible to add extra beds?" The woman with the braided hair smiled. "I heard from Baker that the extra beds are actually quite good. If possible, we would like to add five beds. We can pay the normal single room rate."

"No problem."

If someone came with ulterior motives, Su Yao would not bother with modesty or courtesy.

The door of the inn wasn't very wide, so the seventeen people had to enter in groups.

Finally, as the wait came to an end, Su Yao found herself face to face with the three Peng brothers.

"What brings you here?"

Peng Er's recent shout didn't sound like he came here by chance, but rather that he brought the energy stone on purpose.

Peng Yi pushed aside the grinning Peng Er and Peng San and answered on behalf of them, "We don't know if what the boss said before still counts: 'If you can't make it, you can come back and help with the mining'..."

Su Yao was surprised: "You guys are level 5, level 5, and level 4, how can you still not get through?"

At first, Su Yao didn't really think they would come when she said that.

Peng Yi also understood Su Yao's meaning from her reaction. His face turned a bit pale, and his tone became much more subdued: "Boss, we wouldn't come all this way to deceive you. We're truly at the end of our rope. The three of us brothers have been working since we were young; we're excellent workers. As long as you can take us in, we absolutely won't resort to stealing again."

I'm sorry, but it seems like the source text is missing. Could you please provide the text you would like translated?

Su Yao's heart was filled with even more doubt. What on earth had happened to make these three brothers so humble?

"Come in first, come in and talk."

The three Peng brothers followed Su Yao in as the last group.

To make himself seem valuable, Peng whispered to Su Yao as they walked, "The people ahead are a group. We met them halfway. When we heard they were looking for the Anxin Inn, we pretended to be in trouble and forced our way in."

Peng Yiyi initially didn't want the group in front to know that she knew Su Yao, but unfortunately, the moment Peng Er, that big fool, opened his mouth, it was all exposed.

"Good!"
