Dream Travel

Chapter 276 Being Hired

It's available if needed; the restaurant provides the necessary items. Although few guests will actually need them, there are bound to be special requests...

Lily seemed to know the place quite well; after communicating with the waiter, the waiter brought back the necessary items directly.

Those were digestive aids from this world. Bai Mu glanced at the label on it; it belonged to a pharmaceutical company he didn't recognize.

"What is this?" Qianhu looked at the thing that Bai Mu handed over, somewhat puzzled and curious.

"Digestive aids, to prevent overeating and stomach upset," Bai Mu explained simply.

Yuri's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Does this mean I can eat more?"

"You can eat more next time if you're full." Bai Mu couldn't stand her greedy appetite.

Yuri looked disappointed, but Bai Mu didn't indulge her this time. He cleaned up all the remaining food himself, which made him feel a little fuller.

It was probably one-twentieth the size of a meatball. I can only say that this meal was just so-so. The quality was good, but as ordinary food, its upper limit was limited.

Bai Mu reached out and touched his stomach. It felt good; at least he wouldn't have to worry about stuffing himself full when he ate in the future.

Mushrooms are incredibly easy to digest, and the feeling of fullness after digestion prevents Bai Mu from feeling 'hungry' due to a lack of food in her stomach.

It was already getting dark when they left the restaurant.

Qianhu glanced at the white screen every now and then, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Before Bai Mu could ask why, Lily said, "No need to guess, the price of this meal is your salary for the next two months."

"...That's a lot, isn't it?" Chito asked softly. Yuri could be carefree and not think about so many things, but she had a lot more to consider in this unfamiliar place.

This was also a clear division of labor between her and Yuri. Yuri was more responsible for the physical work, while she usually did the mental work.

Even if the location changes, this division of labor will not change.

"This is the reward for your sixty days of work."

"Sixty days? It's already quite an achievement to live that long before," Yuri said casually, showing no concern whatsoever about the fact that she had eaten 'sixty days' worth of food in one meal.

Chito, on the other hand, was filled with worry. With Lily's clear explanation, she felt that surviving in this world would not be easy.

It takes sixty days of labor to earn a single meal.

What about on weekdays?

"Don't be scared by her. The profits you make from her every day are enough for you to eat your fill."

"White Curtain, you're thinking too badly of me." Lily nudged White Curtain with her elbow, slightly annoyed.

The meal that Yuri and Chito ate here was indeed worth two months' salary for them, but that doesn't mean they could only receive that much salary.

And the salary she paid wasn't so low that they could barely afford to eat their fill...

Otherwise, if word gets out, people will think her shop is shady.

"I've always thought you were cautious when it comes to money."

"But I've always done a great job when it comes to employee benefits, White Curtain, would you like to give me a try?"

"Do I need it?" Bai Mu raised an eyebrow.

"Why not give it a try? There have been some rich kids in Rota City who wanted to work for me before."

Well... it's not surprising that a rich kid with nothing to do would just find a normal job to avoid getting bored and stagnant.

But there are still some problems in this world.

"Are you their target?"

"Yes, so there was no result, except for you, Bai Mu."

Faced with Lily's enthusiastic invitation, Bai Mu said very decisively—NO!

Her invitation may not be a bad thing, but it may not be a good thing either.

Yuri, who was following behind, whispered to Chito, "Chito, they seem to get along very well."

"Keep your voice down." Qianhu still seemed overly cautious, somewhat restrained.

At the Dream Experience Store, Lily led Chito and Yuri to another room. When they came out, they had changed into work clothes.

The clothes they were originally wearing were no longer needed, but Qianhu was still carrying a large bag containing the clothes they had worn before, probably wanting to keep them as a souvenir.

"I will arrange accommodations for you tonight, and tomorrow there will be relevant training. The training content is not complicated; even an idiot could master it within half a month."

Chito's expression was starting to falter; she suspected that the "idiot" Lily was referring to was her best friend, while Yuri looked completely indifferent.

"If it's physical labor, I can handle it." She was confident in that.

"So much the better."

Lily arranged for Chito and Yuri to sit next to each other.

"The staff dormitory is right next door?" Bai Mu was slightly surprised by Lily's arrangement. He usually couldn't tell that the staff dormitory of the Yimeng Experience Store was right next door when he passed by.

"Actually, I live here. This place is mine."

"..." Bai Mu looked at the building next to the Yi Meng Experience Store and fell into a brief silence. After a while, he couldn't help but say, "So why didn't you tell me where I lived before?"

He thought Lily lived in some mysterious place, but it turns out she lived right next door.
"Women always need a few secrets." "Hmph, and this little secret made you miss the chance to become my landlord." Bai Mu quickly returned to normal. Since Lily was also living here, there was nothing to worry about.

She waved to Lily, "I'm going back now."

There wasn't much to see at the Dream Experience Store today. He'd already eaten and made arrangements, so he was eager to go back and explore his new acquisitions.

But Lily stopped Bai Mu: "You can't leave yet."

"You want me to stay overnight?"

Lily's smile remained unchanged: "Oh, it's something else. Bai Mu, you always bring me new merchandise every time you come back from Yi Meng. Will it be the same this time?"

So they were eyeing my things?

Bai Mu was a little reluctant: "I did bring back some things, but most of them were research materials..."

"After we got to know each other, you started lying to me."

"...and a few more robots."

As Bai Mu predicted, Lily had her eye on this.

She pulled Bai Mu directly into a small room to talk slowly, and in the end, she took away half of the 'card' robot that Bai Mu had brought back.

These items are still consigned at the experience store. Lily decides how many to sell, and like the computers, she only takes a cut after each sale.

The rest are all white screens.

Rather than making money from these items, Lily probably uses these special dream items to increase the store's visibility.

Just like what Beatrice had told White Curtain before, Lily clearly also has a circle of interests surrounding her, and this circle is very large.

Both can directly cover the border city of Colim from Rota.

After Bai Mu left, Lily brought Chito and Yuri over.

Chito was still a little nervous in front of this very beautiful woman, especially when the white curtain was not around.

She felt that Lily's smile seemed a bit flatter, at least it lacked the charm she had when facing the white curtain.

"This is the employee handbook. The content is not complicated. You have two days to learn about it. After you report to me here tomorrow, you will have one day to adapt."

Lily made arrangements for Chito and the others, and led them to choose a room.

The two of them are inseparable; there's no need to separate them.

"Here are the keys. You can leave them with me if you're worried about losing them. You can pick them up from me when you leave work. Ask me any other questions tomorrow. I'm leaving get off work now."

After saying that, Lily left the room, leaving Chitoge still somewhat bewildered.

Qianhu looked at the employee handbook and keys in her hand, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. In fact, she hadn't agreed to join the company yet.

As a result, Lily's fast-paced approach led to their immediate employment.

"Chihiro, don't think so much." Yuri reached out and hugged Chihiro's neck. "Come and see our new home!"

"This isn't home," Qianhu said softly as he closed the door, even though the room looked quite nice.

However, as an employee dormitory, it is still quite different from Bai Mu's home.

If she hadn't seen Bai Mu's residence and hadn't made the comparison, she wouldn't have had such thoughts. But after the comparison, the difference became very clear.

The accommodations here are like mass-produced products from a factory assembly line, while White Curtain's accommodations are custom-made.

"Home is wherever Chihiro is."

Chito took a deep breath: "...Let's take a look at our 'home' first."

The two began to observe the room. Although the room was not large, it had everything they needed: a bathroom, a bedroom, and a living room.

When I opened the window, the view was very open. It was just that it was nighttime, so the streets were empty and there were hardly any people to be seen.

Perhaps influenced by Yuri's words, Chito's mood lightened after she learned about her new place.

Just as she was about to pick up the employee handbook to browse, Yuri's invitation came: "Chihiro, look at this, we can take a bath together!"

Yuri, who had already taken off her clothes, patted the bathtub that was filling with water and loudly invited Chito, "There's hot water!"

"Don't run around naked in the house!"

"Anyway, there are no outsiders, so it's fine."

Qianhu sighed, put down the employee handbook he had just opened, and said, "I'll take a shower then."

Now that you've reached a point of tension, it's time to relax.

The bathtub in the bathroom wasn't very big; it was more than enough for one person, but a bit crowded for two. However, she could sit in Yuri's lap.

"Ah~" In Bai Mu's home, Bai Mu yawned slightly and left the bathroom after taking a bath.

He slightly pulled back the curtains and stared at the night view outside. Without An Yongkang's prompting, Bai Mu spotted the suspicious people loitering near his home.

These suspicious individuals are not from Nightow Company, but belong to someone else.

He secretly observed it using the Observer Imperial Arm and discovered it was related to demons... This piqued his interest!
