My love game is too abstract.

Chapter 214: Date, Charm Potion and Girls (Part 6.3) (k)

Saturday.

It was still dawn outside the window, but Yaluo was already dressed and standing in front of the dressing mirror.

Pulling at the wrinkled corner of his clothes, he took out a list of actions from his pocket.

The above lists today's activities in detail.

Time is tight and we must proceed step by step.

Dating five girls in one day is an unprecedentedly difficult task:
It is necessary to ensure that everyone has enough space to move around, while also ensuring that they are not discovered by each other.

If you are not careful, you will end up being torn into pieces by five horses.

It seems like an impossible task, but today, he is going to challenge the impossible.
Time management master, it’s time to go online.

"Serena! Time to wake up!"

He knocked on Serena's door.

A moment later, the door opened and Selena, wearing a thin nightgown with a suspender hanging on her arm, stood up to open the door, her hair disheveled and her eyes sleepy.

"Yalo? Why are you here so early?"

She yawned, rubbed her blurry eyes, turned her head to look at the wall clock, and woke up a little:
"It's only half past five!"

"It's getting late! Aren't you going to rush to buy the materials? What if you go too late and they're all gone?" Yaluo said seriously.

"But now it's possible that the materials haven't been delivered yet!" said Selena.

"Then go line up and wait!" Yaluo said, "Hurry and change your clothes!"

"Wait! You, stop pulling my clothes!"

Ten minutes later, Selena packed up and walked out of the room, looking at him with a little dissatisfaction.

"Really? What's wrong with you today? You're so anxious for no apparent reason, like a kid who can't wait to go out and play early in the morning on a holiday."

"Just treat me as you are," Yaluo said, "Okay, get ready and go out, and try to buy what you want smoothly."

Walking on the still deserted streets, Selena looked at Yalu beside her from time to time.

I always feel that he is a little excited today, and his steps are much faster than usual.

Is he looking forward to going to the black market?

Or
An idea suddenly popped into Serena's head.

Could it be that he thinks going out with me today is a date?

So that's why you're so positive?

Thinking of this, Selena was slightly dazed.

Then I should dress up properly! I came here dressed so plainly.

Just as she was thinking this, Yaluo turned his head and called her.

"Selena."

"what?"

"Have you prepared the things you need to go to the black market?"

“Oh, this.”

Selina took out two masks and a hooded cloak that covered half of her body from her bag.

In places like that, everything is anonymous. Protecting your identity is one thing, but it would be a bit troublesome if you met someone you knew.

Looking at the mask and cloak in her hands, Selena sighed slightly.

"Forget it, even if I dress up nicely, it won't be of any use in this situation."

“And who comes to the black market for a date?”

However, after having this idea, Selena still moved closer to Yaluo to make the two of them appear more intimate.

In this way, we arrived at the entrance of the underground market, which was a narrow and dim alley.

At the end is a bronze door.

There are many entrances to the black market, and this is just one of them.

Yalo and Serena stepped forward.

A lifelike mouth was carved above the bronze door. It moved when it sensed someone approaching.
"What has 183 teeth and a monster locked inside?"

"What is this? A secret code?" Yalu looked at Selena in surprise.

Serena, on the other hand, looked completely surprised and shook her head.

"I saw in the guide that there was only an entrance fee."

"Is this a newly added rule?" Yaluo wondered.

Regardless, he thought for a moment and replied:
"Uh, a bigger monster?"

"Wrong! It's my crotch zipper! Hahaha!"

His mouth burst into laughter, and you could even see the tonsils in his throat.

"This is a joke I finally came up with. What do you think? Oh, and by the way, the entrance fee is 3 Sik per person."

There was a small round hole at the bottom, indicating that a coin should be dropped in.

Both Yaluo and Selena were ashamed.

It turns out it was just telling a joke.
Selina took out her wallet and found six Sik coins and put them in.

"Welcome to the Meraldo Underground Market. Have fun."

The mouth moved as it spoke, and then the bronze door made a click and opened automatically inward.

Inside is a staircase leading down.

Both Yalo and Serena put on masks and capes.

After entering, the bronze door closed heavily behind him.

After walking up the ancient steps for about three minutes, I saw an archway with light shining through it.

Walking out of the door, the scene outside suddenly became clear.

A mixture of moldy and rotting smells wafted into my nose.

As a first-time visitor, Yaluo's first feeling was that he had entered a 19th-century subway station. Brick-built tunnels intersected each other, and on the damp, mossy walls, skull-shaped blue fireflies yawned in the lampshades. On both sides of the tunnel were vendors selling all kinds of goods, most of them were street stalls, and there were very few formal shops.

Because we arrived early, there were not many people in the tunnel, but most of the stalls had already started operating, and the stall owners were shouting their products to the few customers:

"Cursed frog! One kiss will turn you into Prince Charming! Uniquely customizable appearance!"

"Foot-smelling perfume! It truly simulates the unique, sour smell of a beautiful girl wearing black stockings for a day!"

"A music box! A music box that preserves the voice of the ancient evil god! Let you experience the evil god's rap up close!"

"A pen that automatically draws pictures! With it, you can see whatever you want!"

"A royal romance! In-depth revelations! Absolutely explosive! The secrets the Third Prince and the Navy Minister must reveal."

"Well, the things here are indeed more taboo than those outside."

Selena looked at the goods sold in the stalls on both sides and shrank her neck.

"Selena, where are we going?" Yaluo looked at her and asked.

Selina took out the small notebook where she took notes on the strategy.

"Shop 803,"

Walking along the tunnel and looking at the numbers hanging on the wall, they soon found shop No. 803 in a corner.

It was a black magic herbal medicine shop, and there were already several people gathered inside. It seemed that many of them shared the same idea as him.

"Hurry! Hurry up! If you're late you won't be able to buy it!"

Yaluo immediately took Selena's hand and walked in.

"Hey, slow down!"

Why did Selena feel that he was the one who was in a hurry to buy things today instead of her?

The store was very narrow, with most of the floor filled with goods, and all sorts of strange creature limbs soaking in potion jars on the wall.

The place was filled with a pungent smell of medicine and earth.

There seems to be an argument going on in front.

"Hey! Are you kidding me? I clearly want the scent gland of a female white-striped deer! Why did you give me a male one?"

It was a tall and thin man wearing a clown mask yelling into the store.

"Because female white-striped deer don't have scent glands! You idiot!"

The elderly, plump witch in the store yelled at him angrily.

"Who are you kidding! I read this in a book! They have both male and female ones! Don't you think I'd buy anything random?"

"Show me that book! If it's real, I'll eat it!"

"Leave it to yourself! You're going to give me your mother's sac today!"

They argued fiercely, and then confronted each other, neither willing to give in.

"Oh, this is what happened right after we arrived. Looks like we'll be delayed for a while." Selena said helplessly.

"What a joke! You think this kind of shit is going to ruin my plan for today?" Yaluo said hatefully in a low voice.

Selena was stunned. She just heard Yaluo say that he had plans for today?
what's the plan?
Planning a date with yourself?

Before she could think about it any more, she saw Yaluo quickly step forward, push away the people blocking the way, and hold down the shoulder of the man in the clown mask.

"What are you doing!"

The man was angry and slapped his hand away.

Yaluo suddenly grabbed the white-striped deer entrails wrapped in oil paper in his hand and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Uh you."

"You've eaten everything! Now pay me and get out!"

"Are you looking for death?"

The man spat out the entrails in his mouth and roared at him.

Then he felt a deep and cold sense of oppression from Yaluo, as if he had fallen into an ice pit in an instant.

"Get out!" Yaluo growled.

The man shrank his neck, avoiding his sight, muttering words like bad luck, took out his wallet, threw a few Sik on the counter, and ran out in embarrassment.

Selena was stunned. Usually, Yaluo would just watch the fun of this kind of events, but today he actually intervened?
Could it be that it’s for my date with myself?

She thought in disbelief.

"Oh, thank you, mysterious guest." The proprietress said gratefully.

"It's okay, we are here to buy things too." Yaluo said, then waved to Selena, motioning her to come forward.

Selena paused slightly, but faced several gazes from inside the store before hurried forward.

Not only the proprietress, but also the other customers had no complaints about their queue-cutting behavior.

"What do you want?" The proprietress's voice became a little sweeter.

"The new batch of Starlight Flowers should be here, right?"

Serena said as she looked at the small notebook.

"Did you get the news? You're lucky you're the first customer to buy this today, so you get to choose the biggest bundle."

The proprietress said, lifting a sack from under the counter and pouring out a bunch of gray flowers of various sizes.

Yalu now knew why he had to buy this on the black market. He had seen the Star Flower in a book and was impressed by it because it could be used to make a potion.

Gender-changing potion.

Many brothels use this to turn homeless people on the street into women and send them to serve customers.
Because of this, the Kingdom has included it in the list of controlled items.

I hope this isn't Serena's goal.
Selena picked out the best quality flower from the pile and the proprietress wrapped it up for her.

“Thank you for your patronage.”

After paying, they walked out of the herbal medicine shop.

"Very good, very smooth, and there is still plenty of time." Yaluo said while looking at his watch.

"After we get back, I'll take Ji Xiaofei to buy some new products, and then I'll take Lulula to the aquarium."

He was thinking about his next plan, but Serena pulled his sleeve.

"Well, Yaluo, accompany me to another place."

"Ah?" Yaluo looked at her in surprise.
"Just a little while," Serena said.

"OK then."

There was still plenty of time, so it didn't matter if they waited a little longer. Serena didn't tell him where they were going, but simply led him through the storefronts, searching for numbers one by one until they finally stopped in front of the store with the number 254.

This store is completely covered up, and you have no idea what is going on inside from the outside.

"Wait for me here."

Serena said to him and walked in quickly.

The store was lit with peach-pink light.
The counter was filled with various glass bottles, and the air was filled with an ambiguous smell.

There was only a woman in a loose robe inside. Seeing her come in, she smiled and said, "Are you trying to win the heart of that young man, dear?"

Although she was mentally prepared, the atmosphere here still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Um, I want a bottle of hormone pheromone enhancer." She whispered.

"Oh, the charm potion."

Serena looked embarrassed.

The beautiful woman reached out and took down a light pink glass bottle from the counter. As a peach potion, the bottle looked a bit ordinary.

"Remember, only put in a little at a time, otherwise you might get too excited and get eaten alive." The beautiful woman said with a chuckle.

Selena lowered her head and quickly took out the money to buy it, put the potion in her bag and left quickly.

Blanche told her about this shop by chance. She heard that the potion there: if a man and a woman drop a drop in water and drink it before a date, the atmosphere of the date will be elevated to several levels and the experience in certain aspects will be maximized.

She had originally scoffed at this kind of low-brow potion, but Yaluo was so enthusiastic about today's date, what if
So it’s better to buy a bottle first, and then decide whether to use it or not depending on the situation!

As they walked out of the store, Yaluo curiously asked her what she bought.

"Nothing." Selina whispered, "Let's go."

Yaluo raised his eyebrows but didn't ask any further questions.

He walked out of the underground market and back onto the street, taking off his mask and cloak.

Selena saw a shop selling drinks nearby, hesitated for a moment, and finally told Yalu that she wanted to go up and buy two bottles.

Let’s buy some water first, after all, this is to be poured into the water for drinking.

I sold two bottles of rose honey tea, also in glass bottles, put them back in my bag, and was about to go back when I suddenly heard a scream from behind me.

"Snoopy! Stop it!"

A large cow-colored dog was running happily on the main road, with the leash around its neck still flying behind it.

As soon as Selena turned around after hearing the sound, the flying leash hit her foot and her body fell uncontrollably to the ground, and the contents of her bag fell all over the floor.

"Selena!"

Yaluo turned around and noticed the situation over there, and quickly ran forward.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

The little owner who was chasing the dog had no choice but to stop, quickly bowed to them several times to apologize, and then continued to chase them.

"What's going on?" Yalu frowned as he watched the man and the dog running away, and helped Selena up.

"Are you okay?"

"Well, it's okay, just a bit unlucky." Selena stood up, dusted herself off, and smiled helplessly.

Then she saw the bottle of charm potion on the ground, and her heart panicked. She hurried forward to pick it up and put it in her pocket.

"What's wrong?" Yaluo asked when he saw her sudden eager movements.

"No, it's okay, Yaluo, are you thirsty? Have some water?" She quickly changed the subject, picked up the bottle of honey rose tea and handed it to Yaluo.

"Thanks."

Yalu took it and helped Selina pack up her things. He also felt a little thirsty, so he unscrewed the glass bottle and took a big gulp.

"This drink has no taste." He smacked his lips.

"Really? I also want 70% sugar." Selena unscrewed the can and took a sip.

Suddenly she realized something and looked carefully at the glass bottle in Yaluo's hand.

It’s over, isn’t that the bottle of charm potion!

The two bottles are similar in shape and the liquid inside is similar in color. I got them mixed up in my haste just now!

But at this time, Yaluo didn't notice that he had drunk something terrible, and finished it all in two or three gulps.

Turning his head and seeing Serena in a daze, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing." Selena said quickly, but her heart was no longer calm.

"It's over. What should I do now?"

"Oh, by the way, Serena, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to deal with in the school club, so I'll be leaving first!"

Yaluo waved at her and said.

"Oh, wait!"

Selena quickly grabbed him.

"What's wrong again?" Yaluo looked at her puzzledly.

"Please accompany me home first." Selena said.

"Go home? What's going on?"

"Uh, I don't know how to solve a few problems in my homework. Can you help me solve them?" Selena had no idea what she was saying.

"You, you must be kidding me. You're asking me about my homework?" Ya Luo said with amusement, "Stop teasing me. I'm really busy. If you have anything else to say, let's talk about it when we get back."

Having said that, Yaluo waved his hand and trotted away.

Selena stared at his back blankly, her lips trembling slightly.

"What have I done?"

"No, no! I have to keep up! What if Yalu suddenly takes effect on the street?"

Yaluo then ran towards the Rainbow House Dessert Shop.
When I got there, I saw Ji Xiaofei squatting by the flower bed at the door, teasing a little caterpillar.

"Xiao Ji!" he ran over and shouted.

"Yalo!"

Seeing him coming, Xiao Ji immediately got up and ran over.

Xiaoji is wearing a very cute pink dress today, a jellyfish hat, and the chicken-shaped shoulder bag she carries every day. She looks particularly cute.

"You're finally here! Hurry up! There are only three of that super delicious dessert left!" Ji Xiaofei said anxiously, pulling his hand.

"I know, I know. I'll take you to buy it now." Ya Luo said, taking Ji Xiaofei's hand and walking into the store.

He frowned then.

"Why do I feel a little hot? Is it because I just finished running?"

He pulled at his collar but didn't pay much attention to it.

When you enter the store, there is a dessert sample called "Alice in Wonderland Extra Large Fruit Cream Vanilla Cup" placed in the hall. It looks like a bonsai.

"Can you finish such a big cup?" Yaluo said.

"Don't worry, I didn't have breakfast today on purpose." Xiao Ji said proudly.

"Just eat your meal properly, you hear me?"

When he arrived at the bar, he asked for a vanilla cup.

"I'm sorry, this product is specially for parents and children. You need to be a father and daughter or a mother and daughter to purchase it," said the clerk.

"We are." Yaluo said.

Ji Xiaofei on the side immediately understood, hugged Yaluo, and called sweetly:
"father!"

"Well, this child is a feathered person, right?" the clerk said uncertainly.

"Adopted." Yaluo said.

"All right."

"Then please hurry up."

"Oh, that's right. This is a promotional product. Before purchasing, you and your daughter need to complete some interactive games." said the clerk.

"Ah? We still want to make games?" Yaluo was completely surprised.

"Yes, we are just collaborating to make a small handmade clay sculpture, and the finished product will also be left in our parent-child memorial exhibition." said the clerk.

"Game game!"

Yaluo was a little reluctant, but Ji Xiaofei was excited and eager to try, so he could only agree:

"OK then."

"Then please follow me."

They were taken to the game area, where there were a number of children's clay turntables and several mothers and daughters were already happily playing there.

They are both mother and daughter. It seems that it is not common to see fathers like me bringing their daughters here to play.

"Please use this table. The materials are all here. Please help yourself," said the clerk.

Ji Xiaofei had never seen this kind of clay sculpture prop with a turntable before, and she found it spinning around very novel.

"Okay, hurry up and make something." Yaluo urged her.

"Okay, Dad~"

Ji Xiaofei took out a lump of clay, put it on a tray, and started to knead it.

After a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief and opened her arms to show Yaluo her work: "It's done!"

"What is this?" Yaluo asked, looking at the strange-shaped lump on the tray.

"Xiao Hui." Xiao Ji blinked at him.

"Isn't it similar?"

"It looks like nothing but mud," said Yaluo.

Forget it, as long as she is happy.

But then the clerk came over with a photo camera and said to them, "Dad, you have to participate too. The photos you take will also be hung on the parent-child commemorative wall."

Yaluo sighed helplessly and rolled up his sleeves.

"I'll teach you."

He held Xiaoji's small hands from behind and taught her how to make accurate shapes with clay.

"Hiss, what's wrong with me?" Yaluo felt uncomfortable.

The movements also became a little stiff.

"dad?"

Ji Xiaofei turned her head and looked at him in confusion.

"fine."

Yalu shook his head and continued to mold the clay for her.

"Well?"

Ji Xiaofei snorted softly, turned her head, pursed her lips, looked at him somewhat at a loss, and blinked her innocent big eyes.

This made Yaluo suddenly come back to his senses.

"Damn it! What happened? What happened to me?"

He glanced at the clerk holding the camera, but she was looking elsewhere.

After coming to his senses, he quickly made a clay sculpture, a very cute rabbit shape.

"Wow, Dad is so awesome!" Ji Xiaofei was surprised.

"Okay, look here."

The clerk raised his camera and took a photo of them and the clay sculpture.

After washing her hands and sitting at the dining table, the vanilla cup that Ji Xiaofei had been longing for was finally served.

"Eat quickly, I'll take you home after you're done." Yaluo said as he sat beside her.

He rubbed his head, but still felt something was wrong with his body. He really didn't know what was going on.
"Dad, you eat first." Ji Xiaofei scooped a small piece of cream ice cream with a spoon and handed it to Yaluo.

Looking at the eager Xiao Ji, he still ate it.

"Is it delicious?" Xiao Ji asked.

"good."

"hey-hey."

Ji Xiaofei smiled sweetly and started eating happily.
