64: Chapter 64 Utilizing New Life Skills

"Fine, tell me, what are you buying? Same old prices." Firing Pin waved his hand helplessly. Because of the existence of fantasy, cultivation, and horror-themed dungeons, there weren't actually that many Adventurers buying large quantities of explosives, so Mia was considered one of his important clients. He was also happy to joke around with Tuaner, that great beauty, and as long as he could make a profit, he wouldn't squeeze them too hard on the prices.

"We need some B-rank explosives and A-rank explosives. Also, this time we need to purchase more simple accessories for setting explosive traps, as well as tools for detecting and disarming traps. Sorry for the trouble." Mia's innocent outfit combined with the temperament and upbringing she displayed at this moment made her look like an angel visiting the mortal world. Who would have thought that this was actually a woman who belonged to the Succubus Queen?

After coming out of the market area of the trading zone, Mia couldn't stand Tuaner and Ryan's nagging. She still went to the Alchemy Zone. In an alchemy room filled with strange instruments, she applied for and received an alchemy apprentice identification badge from a hot-bodied Alchemist lady.

She also learned an alchemy recipe called [Primary Recovery Potion EX]. Its effect was that the user would recover 5 HP every five seconds for thirty minutes, with a strong feeling of satiety. Perhaps it was Mia's heaven-defying Charm stat of 22 points that played a role; the standard version of the [Primary Recovery Potion] only recovered 2 HP every five seconds for five minutes and provided satiety.

These two, who weren't afraid of tiring Mia to death, also bought her a set of basic alchemy equipment and moved it into Mia's private space.

In the alchemy room, Mia thought she saw a teammate she had fought with before—Loran. She greeted her and asked if there was anything she needed from her earlier. Loran looked extremely happy to see Mia, but didn't say much about the reason she had been looking for her.

Only after Tuaner repeatedly pressed her did she say she had heard that healing class friends had many connections, and hoped Mia might have friends in official forces who could help her find her daughter. Afterwards, Tuaner took the photo of Loran's daughter with a strange expression and readily agreed to her request.

After returning to the private space, Mia and Tuaner tidied themselves up a bit and prepared to return to the real world. Tuaner held her back and showed her the photo of Loran's daughter, Xiaoya.

"Actually, this is very easy to find, you don't even need the photo. You could just ask if anyone has seen you before..." Tuaner whispered.

Mia was also stunned. This was clearly what she looked like now, wearing a JK uniform. If one had to say there was any difference, it was that the girl in the photo seemed a bit more naive. "Hmm, let's try our best to help her." Mia nodded.

The starlight dissipated, and Mia and Tuaner left the Paradise Lost world hand in hand...

"Ayyy—!" Tuaner stretched lazily on Mia's large bed without any decorum, her legs clad in black silk stockings raised high, revealing her entire silhouette. She looked like a wild little kitten.

Mia took out the photo Tuaner had given her. She now roughly understood why Loran had been so nervous about her during the last [one person] dungeon; after all, she really looked too much like her daughter.

She sighed, only to be hugged by Tuaner like a sloth. "Sleep for a while. Once we've rested up, we'll go ask He Xuan. He should have a way. If that doesn't work, we can take the identification provided by the Coordination Office and have the police station check if there are any missing minors who look like you."

Mia patted Tuaner with some helplessness, satisfying her unreasonable request—to sing her a lullaby. At least she wouldn't have to deal with the cuddling, hugging, and French kissing that she was completely unable to handle...

Amidst Mia's charming, sexy, and slightly hoarse voice, Tuaner's leg unreasonably pressed onto Mia's body, and she drifted off to sleep...

The next day, the slob Tuaner, who hadn't even taken off her clothes when she fell asleep, and Mia, who hadn't changed out of her pajamas while being hugged by her, tidied up a bit. Then, with buns given to them for free by the guy at the bun shop downstairs from Mia's place in their mouths, they rushed furiously to the Paradise Management Office building.

The pair of JK sisters, who both looked like they hadn't woken up yet, happened to run into Ryan, who had come to report the dungeon strategy to He Xuan. (Tuaner had violently dumped this job onto Ryan.) The three of them arrived at He Xuan's office together.

The office was thick with smoke, drifting with a faint stench of tobacco oil. Mia opened He Xuan's small refrigerator and handed him a bottle of mineral water.

"Originally, we had something to trouble you with, but looking at it now, it seems you've encountered some trouble yourself." Mia sat elegantly opposite He Xuan, her heterochromatic eyes looking straight at him, waiting for him to speak.

"Heh, it really is true that nothing can be hidden from your eye technique..." He Xuan said self-deprecatingly, unscrewing the water bottle and taking a big gulp.

"It's not an eye technique; you've written it all over your face." Tuaner said with disdain.

Ryan pulled a cigarette from his own cigarette case, handed it to He Xuan, and lit it.

"While you were in the Paradise Lost dungeon, a strange anomalous event occurred in our city, anomaly code [Rapid Metabolism]. Here is the documentation." He handed three files to Mia and the others.

"Civilians in a large area are binge eating? Rapidly losing weight? Investigators went there and also got hit? He Xi? Huh? She stumbled upon such a good weight loss opportunity?" Tuaner had a face full of six consecutive question marks, which made He Xuan feel a bit embarrassed.

"Yeah, that's right. He Xi is currently thin as a rail, but she's not in immediate danger of death for now; she's relying on equipment to maintain her vital signs." He Xuan looked full of grief.

"So, what can we do?" Mia asked calmly.

"I learned from special channels that you have friends in the black market of Paradise Lost, specifically that bar you often go to." He Xuan's expression was a bit awkward.

Mia didn't turn back to look at Ryan; she directly lifted her fair neck and said to He Xuan, "Hmm, Lord Regional Director, it's understandable to send a few people to follow us, after all, we are both demons."

"Uh, it's a misunderstanding, Mia. Our countermeasures team experts have analyzed that for ordinary people, using [Primary Recovery Potion] from Paradise Lost mixed with water should work; it can completely handle the symptoms of this incident. We would like to ask you to purchase a batch of [Primary Recovery Potion] in the black market, with expenses covered by the branch, or ask the black market Alchemist to help refine a batch, we will provide the materials and such."

As soon as He Xuan finished speaking, the three of them opposite him, Mia included, were all stunned. He also found their reaction a bit strange. But the reality of the situation forced him to continue, biting the bullet, "This incident has affected too many ordinary citizens; we must help them. Please."

"So the bar where we buy things is actually a black market? No wonder it has everything."

"Hmm, if you're not lying this time," Tuaner said, struggling intensely, "then, no need for extra fees, just give the normal profit."

He Xuan was overjoyed and slapped the table, "The other teams are all combat teams; added together, they can't even spare 10 bottles of potion. It's a good thing you know people in this area."

"Is there a possibility—I'm saying a possibility—that we have an Alchemist—apprentice—ourselves?" Ryan's muttered words were heard clearly by He Xuan, who didn't miss a single syllable.
