Just as the Peeping Immortal was calculating, two NPCs wearing familiar uniforms ca over and were then blocked outside the crowd by the bodyguards.
Peeping was intrigued and imdiately stepped forward to ask, "You are—"
"Ah, it's the vice president, sir. Well, our lady wants to invite Ms. Amy to the store as a guest but is afraid she might not co—"
What a coincidence? But it also shows that Vivian does have a head for business networking.
Peeping got even more excited: "Leave it to !"
Finally, to the cheers of the onlooking crowd, Amy finished her dance.
Peeping imdiately stepped forward to flatter her: "Amy, you must be tired, right? How about big brother takes you to a fun place?"
The two store clerks at the side bowed respectfully.
Amy was amused: "Sure, a kind brother is taking out."
The day's frustration for Peeping finally eased a bit; this is what a two-way effort looks like!
...
At this ti, after listening to Bilenna's statent, Vivian also reached her own conclusion: "Actually, from the perspective of the Evil Demons, the reason they can infiltrate Black Iron City is because Black Iron City doesn't have a traditional Guardian God. Therefore, they will inevitably maintain this order voluntarily, not allowing other Evil Demons to ss around. Otherwise, if the city really gets chaotic, the Imperial Church will surely replace the irresponsible rfolk with a more stringent Guardian God to suppress them, making it unprofitable for the Evil Demons. They might even contribute to making Black Iron City more prosperous, thus denying the traditional Guardian God's existence rationale."
Chun was dumbfounded!
Bilenna laughed: "Ms. Vivian makes a good point, but many Evil Demons are naturally troubleso and want to cause chaos. I can't do much about others, but Amy is my favorite student, and I don't want her to be hard."
Vivian laughed: "Since Ms. Bilenna said so, I will try my best to help. Although, currently, we may still be helpless against the Nightmares..."
As they spoke, there was a cheer from the tavern entrance!
Vivian laughed: "Great, she's actually here. I'll go greet her."
Bilenna said: "Then I'll trouble Ms. Vivian; I won't show myself for now."
Chun and Mina left Bilenna's body and followed Vivian downstairs but did not leave the back area. They crouched at the staircase, afraid to show themselves in case there were powerful individuals in the tavern.
By now, the kitchen had been roughly cleaned up. The chef nad Michelin began kneading the dough and making sothing new.
Not bad, at least I get to see the bread-making process from start to finish.
——System Notification: Your Outstanding Wisdom, Advanced Cooking Skill witnessed the making of a baguette, gaining proficiency.
Ha! My Cooking Skill reached Advanced Level 10 thanks to Aileen's Gourt Domain by making Dream Cakes, and now there's hope for advancing to Expert.
anwhile, music and cheers filled the front; it's evident that Amy received a grand welco.
Great, let her play for a while, and I'll just focus on learning from the chef.
From the chef's work, it's clear that it's not just a matter of recipe; each step, the dough kneading ti, and the baking ti were all recorded by Chun. Of course, the temperature of the oven might also need to be considered...
Ten minutes later, the first batch of bread was baked. The freshly baked baguette was still soft.
——System Notification: ... You witnessed the making of a baguette, and your proficiency increased.
Still only a proficiency increase.
Alright, Chun is aiming to master the skill, but observing alone without hands-on practice makes it hard to reach the final step. Guess the stealth learning ends here.
At this mont, Amy at the front was visibly amazed by such long bread: "This is way too cute!"
Vivian laughed: "Ms. Amy, would you like to co to the kitchen to see how the bread is made? It's quite fun!"
Amy was ga for it: "Sure!"
Here we go, Chun and Mina leaned against the door ready to possess!
Thus, Vivian led the way, the bodyguard followed second, and Amy ca in third.
Just as Amy entered, Mina made a quick greeting: "Ms. Barbara, I'm Mina! Let in."
A Spatial Gate appeared by Amy's side.
This was entering while the other party was awake; only acquaintances could do this.
Entering!
——System Notification: You have entered Amy's Consciousness Space under the guidance of the High Tier Dragon Soul Nightmare, Mina.
The scene changed, and Chun and Mina found themselves once again in the ballroom they had visited last ti, only this ti it was more magnificent and splendid. The ballroom also had a huge screen, showing Amy's view.
The long-missed young appearance of Barbara appeared: "Greetings, my lord! Mina, you've beco so strong!?"
Mina laughed: "Mainly thanks to the master's training. Miss, you were quite pretty in your younger years!"
Chun spoke up: "I ca here because I discovered a Nightmare in Black Iron City, and I'm worried for Amy's safety."
Barbara solemnly said: "Yes, I felt it, right at the Count's Mansion celebration for Amy's graduation along with the city's nobles, where I sensed the aura of my previous online contact. Now I finally know she's called Andariel, and there's more than one. I'm ready to resist and fight them."
Chun was stunned: "How to fight?"
Barbara said: "A Nightmare is a kind of enslaved demon, very self-deprecating in personality, and not very effective against those who are extrely confident and arrogant. So, for this whole day, I let Amy tour the city, basking in the people's cheers and admiration to boost her confidence. This way, even if faced with a Nightmare invasion, she would exert far beyond her usual Spiritual Power—of course, this is for defense. If they do co, they won't find easy to bully!"
Oh... I see! It feels like it follows the sa principle as guild skills and boasting.
Chun suggested: "Now that Mina and I are here, how about we ambush them together?"
Barbara was pleased: "That would be excellent. Although I only have a remnant soul left, I still have the power to control Nightmares. As long as we weaken them enough, I can control them, making their organization think they succeeded and not necessarily realize it."
Holy Shit! Indeed, it takes a seasoned lady to control Nightmares!
Chun got excited: "Alright, let's do that. By the way, does Amy know about this?"
Barbara seriously said: "She doesn't know, and she must never know, or she might lose her confidence out of fear. But as long as we win this first battle, her confidence will rise."
Chun rembered sothing else: "Is Andariel's base in Gem City or Oak City?"
Barbara said: "Looks like they have both; I don't know much about the demons' organization, but the real base should still be in Oak City, where there are more Nightmares."
Alright then. At first, I didn't dare go to Oak City, fearing that the Nightmares there are too strong. But now, if we can defeat the Nightmares from Oak City in Black Iron City first, it'll be good practice...
