295: Chapter 295 Another Visit
For the next half month, Nie Ning spent almost all his time in the lab, except for going to the Transcendent World to interview for Alchemist positions.
After all, sharpening the axe doesn't delay the woodcutting; with plenty of money, he could improve his strength faster.
He didn't need to make too much money, just one or two high-grade magic crystals a day would be enough. Anyway, as long as it was faster than robbery.
With money, he could eat, drink, and p... well, once he made all nine god-forbidden rings and ate heavenly treasures like regular meals, his cultivation would soar.
Nie Ning had been sustained by such fantasies for the past half month.
Hard work pays off; Nie Ning finally produced three finished products.
Looking at the three items, Nie Ning just wanted to say Heloise was awesome!
The three garments were modeled after Tang Dynasty palace dresses, using silk made from materials developed by Heloise.
Unfortunately, due to limited craftsmanship, only Dust Removal Technique, basic Defensive Magic, and the Ice Blue Wing Technique were attached to the clothes.
However, the materials Heloise made had special effects themselves, providing decent defense in terms of elemental resistance.
But this obviously wasn't enough to catch the eye of female Transcendents.
Among the materials Heloise developed was a fusion material called Flying Fluff Floating Star.
This was a material that, once activated with energy, would cause the clothes to sprinkle bits of starlight.
By adding some Runic Formulas, one could even change the shape of the starlight, such as making it look like falling flowers or feathers.
Although a bit flashy, these days, some people were into that and liked to stand out.
After all, jealousy and competition were the same in any world.
Just with different tendencies.
For men, one would have to work hard on forging armor and making Transcendent alchemy tools; only items with extremely high practicality could catch a man's eye.
For example, his god-forbidden ring and xueyan bladeless; if they were ever revealed, people would surely come to snatch them.
...
Once the clothes were finished, Nie Ning called Saya to try them on. Saya tried on a Purple Lotus Gauze Dress.
Noticing Saya's resentful look, Nie Ning scratched his head awkwardly.
The clothes were indeed beautiful, but he had made them according to Ivy's figure.
Ivy wasn't big elsewhere, but her chest was particularly large, causing the clothes to fit Saya very poorly and keep slipping down.
"Ahem, wait for me to modify them before you try them on again."
Nie Ning coughed lightly in embarrassment.
Since it was his first time making them, he forgot that everyone's body is different.
"At least it's quite pretty. I bet many people will like it."
Saya spun around while holding her chest, clearly liking it.
Just as Nie Ning was about to make modifications, the house's restriction was triggered.
Nie Ning was full of question marks.
He didn't know many people in Blood Rainbow City, so who was coming to his door now?
"Someone's here. I'll go up and check."
After saying that, Nie Ning left the basement.
...
Returning to the first floor and opening the door, Amelia and the other two were standing outside.
"What is it now?"
Nie Ning asked somewhat impatiently.
He was busy making money; why was this person like a ghost, always appearing when he was busiest?
Amelia's anger flared up at Nie Ning's attitude, her face turning slightly cold: "Corruptors are very dangerous. We need to take it back for destruction. Please cooperate."
"Didn't I say it's already been destroyed? I know I'm handsome, but please don't keep using such far-fetched excuses to see me."
Nie Ning said shamelessly and deliberately.
That Black-robed Corruptor had long been fed to the Jerky Bear Head to promote it to the fourth rank.
His luck was quite good; the Jerky Bear Head gained the ability to devour energy, which further strengthened its defensive capabilities.
Amelia was shocked by Nie Ning's thick skin, that he could actually say such shameless things.
But just as she was about to say something, Nie Ning slammed the door shut.
Seeing this, the magic power inside Amelia surged, and she almost lost control of herself.
"Teacher, teacher, your image, watch your image."
Ruby felt the restless Elemental Power and hurriedly pulled Amelia back.
Noticing the looks from passersby, Amelia suppressed her rampaging magic power and glared hatefully at the door.
As the young miss of the Yishi Mansion, she was always the one turning people away; no one had ever dared to do this to her!
She would definitely teach this brat a lesson later!
Just as Amelia was about to lead her people away, the door suddenly opened.
"Ahem, I think I was a bit out of line just now. Why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
Nie Ning poked his head out from behind the door, a warm smile on his face, looking like a completely different person.
For a moment, the three of them looked at each other, feeling that Nie Ning was up to no good.
"We are only here to collect the Corruptor. You just need to hand it over to us."
Amelia frowned cautiously and said coldly.
"How can that be? Guests are guests. How can I not entertain you? If word got out, people would think I have no manners."
Nie Ning opened the door and made an inviting gesture.
The three became even more alert. Was this guy planning to do something bad to them?
The more they thought about it, the more suspicious it felt.
"No thanks. We've disturbed you enough today. We'll visit another day."
Amelia didn't agree, planning to come back with more people.
Because she always felt this Nie Ning was weird, and maybe he really was up to something illegal!
"I just want to ask the beautiful Miss Amelia for a small favor. It won't take much time, and I can offer some compensation."
Nie Ning said with a smile.
He had already learned of Amelia's identity from Saya.
To him, time was money. Instead of wasting time modifying the clothes, it was better to just ask Amelia, who had a better figure, for help.
Hearing Nie Ning praise her, Amelia's expression finally softened a bit, and she asked with a feigned coldness: "What favor?"
"It's not a big deal. I'm planning to open a women's clothing store recently. Miss Amelia is so beautiful and lovely; I'm sure you'd look even better in those clothes."
Nie Ning said with a smile.
With Amelia's status, this might attract many people to come.
After all, the celebrity effect cannot be ignored, and with her backed by the Yishi Mansion, it might save some trouble if the shop became popular.
Even if it was discovered later, given the reputation of the Yishi Mansion here, it would at most be a fine.
They couldn't kill him, right?
By then, the reputation would have been established, and after taking down Amelia's photos, he would have almost no loss.
Of course, there was also the possibility of being suppressed by the Yishi Mansion.
But how can one fear risk if they want to make money?
If he won, it would be a huge profit; if he lost, he would just start over.
