The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 497 Instant Noodle Stall

"Huh?" Amy was very disappointed that she couldn't buy what her master wanted to eat. "Can I pay more and can you make a few more portions for me? My master really wants to eat them!"

"We're out of ingredients." All that's left on Greta's trolley is a tablecloth.

She anticipated that instant noodles would sell well, but she didn't expect them to sell this well.

I just used the Fire spell to boil a small bowl of water and make a paper bowl of noodles, intending to give it to Lilith and her two mage friends whom I had just met, when the stall was immediately surrounded by people.

Forty-eight servings of instant noodle ingredients sold out within minutes.

Only one portion was left for Lilith, Sylph, and Vasita to try.

The reason I haven't left yet is because I'm chatting with Lilith and the others, catching up with them.

"Amy? Your master has returned from the mage tower?" Lilith noticed this and asked curiously.

"Hmm! I can smell the instant noodles that Lady Moran cooked. Lady Moran told us we could buy them here," Amy said.

Greta understood immediately. Lord Moran must be Lilith and the others' mentor. Then Amy's master must be Lord Moran's neighbor and a mage from the mage tower.

These are potential invitees too! They can earn contribution points!
We must seize the opportunity.

“So you two know each other! How about this, I’ll go prepare some more materials later and deliver them to you before dark, what do you think?” Greta said.

"That's great!" Amy breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed a handful of gold coins from her purse, and gave them to her first.

"That's too much!" Greta exclaimed. "One serving of instant noodle ingredients only costs one gold coin!"

"Consider the extra amount as compensation for making you make the trip," Amy said before leaving.

Greta had fifty-eight gold coins in her pocket and felt she had never been so rich.

"Greta, your noodles are so delicious, why do you still work as a waitress at the Golden Flower Inn? Wouldn't it be better to just rent a shop and sell instant noodles?" Vasita asked in confusion.

Apprentice-level spell structures sell well, but apprentice-level magic scrolls don't.

The three of them set up their stall for most of the day, but didn't sell much.

If I could open a hot pot restaurant, I could make a lot more money.

However, one must first become a member of the Dawn Society before one can open a hot pot restaurant "openly and legitimately".

So he could only try to get Greta closer to them and invite them to join the Dawn Society as soon as possible.

Giving Greta ideas on how to make money is a good idea.

“I’d like to too! But I don’t have enough money to rent a shop in Apprentice Square. I plan to quit my job at Golden Flower Hostel, find a hostel to stay in first, and set up a stall in Apprentice Square every day to save some money. Then I’ll rent a house and a shop to sell instant noodles,” Greta said.

She also realized that it was no longer convenient for her to stay at the Golden Flower Hostel.

Instead of working there as a waiter and dealing with monks and their guests, I'd rather be my own boss.

Today, when she was selling instant noodles, the monks who were her customers treated her very differently than when she was a waitress.

If she remains in a weak position, it will naturally be difficult for her to make friends with mages who are more powerful.

It's worth noting that the higher the mage's level, the more contribution points you'll receive upon a successful invitation!

Moreover, it's even more difficult for her to keep her secret when earning extra money on someone else's turf.

After all, this instant noodle doesn't require purchasing any ingredients. You just need to meditate to restore your mental energy and then use gem coins to buy it.

In other people's eyes, isn't it just that she doesn't buy anything every day, yet she can conjure up a lot of instant noodle ingredients?

That's not good!
"Your instant noodles taste so good, you'll definitely have no trouble selling them. Unlike our magic scrolls, if our stall wasn't next to yours, we probably wouldn't even open this afternoon!"

Lilith sighed and quietly nudged Sylph beside her.

Sylph immediately sighed, "Yes! If we can't sell the magic scrolls, we can't buy blank magic scrolls to return to our mentor, and we'll get scolded by him again when we get back!"

“We still have to sell them even if we can’t! We have to raise enough money to buy a basic spell structure before our mental strength reaches its limit! A basic spell structure costs 100 magic coins! Where am I going to find so much money?” Vasita said with a mournful face.

"What? A basic spell structure only costs 100 magic coins?" Greta asked in surprise. "Where did you buy it? Can you tell me how?"

In the card shop, even the basic spell structures are now level 3 resources; the Night Watcher can only buy one a month.

It seems easier to accumulate these 100 magic coins than to upgrade to Night Observer and then buy {Knowledge Card - Basic Spell Structure}.

She earned over fifty gold coins in just a short time today!

Although they are just ordinary gold coins, as long as you have enough ordinary gold coins, you can find a way to exchange them for magic gold coins.

“We bought them from our mentor!” Vasita said. “Our mentor has never given us any magical resources for free; we have to buy them all from her.”

"That's wonderful!" Greta exclaimed enviously.

Vasita: "???"

She was playing a pitiful apprentice oppressed by a stingy mentor, so why did Greta look so envious?

Is there a problem with Moran's script?

Sylph also asked in confusion, "Greta, don't you think our mentor is being unreasonable?"

"How could that be! Magic coins are precious, but magical knowledge is far more precious!"

Greta looked at her three newly acquainted mage friends and advised them, "Don't take your good fortune for granted! Many apprentices can't buy magical knowledge even with money!"

Even the mages in the mage tower have to do things for the Duchy of Lance in order to obtain the corresponding magical knowledge, but your mentors only ask you to pay them, which is already the most benevolent thing to do.

"Think about it, have your mentors ever sold spell structures to anyone else at this price?"

Lilith remembered something mentioned in the script and shook her head: "No."

“That’s right!” Greta said. “You lot! Protected by your mentors, you have no idea what life is really like for a true wild mage. Your mentors are wild mages, but you are not!”

Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph suddenly realized.

The script says that with Greta's help, they came to understand their mentor's good intentions, and that's how it happened!

“Apprentice-level magic scrolls are quite profitable, they just sell slowly, so don’t worry,” Greta said. “If you want to make more money quickly, I do have a way…”

"What method?" Lilith and the other two perked up.

They're here! They've finally arrived! Quickly, give them the invitations!

"It's not very convenient here. I'll tell you more about it once I've found a place to stay!" Greta said.

The square was bustling with people, making it hardly a good place for conversation.
