Wrong, my props refresh every day

"Also, the noise you made last night scared away all 27 distinguished guests—"

As she spoke, Mia's mother reached into her bosom and pulled out a white compensation list, and slammed it on the table in front of Xingmian with a "slap".

Xing Jian looked carefully with trepidation, and when he saw the string of chilling figures on the compensation list, he couldn't help but gasp.

A total of 66.66 million faris!

At the end of the list, a skull with a wide grin, as if laughing at them, was drawn in dwarven runes.

"Please let me bear this alone."

Suddenly, Miss Liu, who had been silent all this time, took half a step forward. The morning breeze blew gently, lifting the hem of her blood-stained bandages. Her voice was filled with determination and guilt.

Chapter 4 [Gourmet Wallpaper]

"This incident is all caused by me. It has nothing to do with this human friend. I am the culprit..."

Mia's mother heard this and a cold smile appeared on her lips. She slammed the frying pan in her hand to the ground in front of Miss Liu with a loud thud.

"Little girl, do you think this is the court of justice for the family of Astraea, the goddess of justice? You can't do whatever you want here!"

When she heard the words "Asteria's Familia", Ms. Liu's body stiffened noticeably, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

Mia's mother didn't give her the slightest chance to breathe. She rushed forward, grabbed Miss Liu's collar, and dragged her to her front, shouting in a stern voice:

"Little girl from the Astralia family, in my place, a living person must atone for their sins the way a living person would! There are two ways to make amends. Either you put on your waitress uniform and work here for two and a half years to pay back every penny of the fari you owe. Or, I will send you directly to the Guild and let them judge you!"

As she spoke, Mia's mother casually threw an apron embroidered with exquisite lace at Xingjian and Miss Liu's faces.

"If you dare to run away, I will tie you to the Ganesha family's parade float and let the whole city see your miserable appearance!"

"Two and a half years? No... no. Death is my destiny. I... I killed Alisha with my own hands, and caused everyone else's death. I've lingered on until now, but now that my vengeance has been exacted, I no longer deserve to live. You... you should just send me to the guild. My head is worth 80 million faris, more than enough to cover the store's losses and even redeem this young man..."

Miss Liu's voice trembled slightly, her eyes full of pain and despair. She slowly turned her head and glanced at Xier, Mia's mother and Xingjian in turn.

However, Mia's mother just smiled coldly.

"Hmph, [Gas], you're a wanted criminal with a terrifyingly high bounty, but if I really took your bounty, those men in black like last night would definitely come to cause trouble every day. How could I even open my tavern then? No way! The choice I just made is for this kid. As for you, a useless elf, you have to stay here and work for me. I'm shorthanded!"

Xingjian thought to himself that although Mia's mother's action was harsh, it actually contained good intentions. She must want to give Miss Liu a chance to survive.

But the elves have always been stubborn and persistent. Once they make up their minds about something, no one can pull them back.

"No... No, I have made such a huge mistake. How can I still live for everyone else..."

Miss Liu struggled desperately, trying to break free from Mia's mother's grip.

"You ungrateful, useless elf! In my territory, I have the final say! Not even the strongest wild boar in the city dares to disobey me!"

Mia's mother raised the frying pan high in her hand, and it was already above Miss Liu's head.

Miss Liu tried her best to break free, but she was shocked to find that the frying pan was like a towering mountain, pressing heavily on her head, making her unable to move.

How... how is it possible!

Ms. Liu's eyes widened, filled with astonishment and disbelief! !

She was a Level 4, second-level adventurer who had single-handedly razed countless dark faction lairs. Yet, she was now outmatched in strength by this dwarf woman before her...

This...what a joke!

At the same time, Xier gracefully walked out of the kitchen carrying a breakfast tray. Her skirt brushed Liu's tense shoulders and she whispered, "Xiao Liu, do you know? Last week, a Level 5 adventurer questioned Mia's mother's apple pie recipe... and now he's lying in the infirmary of Babel Tower~"

"What? A level 5 adventurer can't even match her?!"

Miss Liu's face was filled with shock. She looked at the powerful dwarf in front of her, her mouth slightly open, unable to close for a long time.

"This...how is this possible?!"

"Okay, there's no need to say anything more. You two just stay here today. It's settled happily. Don't resist!" Mia's mother's tone was extremely firm. After hearing that, Miss Liu immediately lost the courage to resist.

"Okay, enough small talk, let's start preparing the ingredients for lunch."

In just a few minutes, Mia had already treated Xingjian and Liu as her own servants and assigned them tasks.

"Mama Mia, how about...I come and help prepare lunch?"

The tavern was preparing ingredients when Xingjian suddenly remembered the new thing he had drawn in the morning. He hurriedly held up a tablecloth embroidered with funny cat paw prints. The faded plaid cloth glowed with a strange oily sheen in the morning light.

"Can I use this to pay off part of the debt?"

Xingjian asked tentatively.

He knew that if he became a chef, he would definitely earn more than a waiter.

Mia's mother's gaze fell on the tablecloth, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes: "What the hell is this?"

"This is called the Gourmet Tablecloth. Just say the name of the food you want to eat, and it will conjure up the corresponding food. It's all real food, completely free, and the supply is unlimited."

Hoshimi explained.

"Just by saying the name, food will appear? Is it really that magical?"

Xier's gray eyes were full of surprise.

"Yeah." Xingjian knew what was going on.

Only he knew the true identity of the girl in front of him.

Under Xier's "divine watch", lying will not work at all and will be exposed sooner or later.

Rather than hiding and pretending to be a kid of unknown origin, it is better to just reveal his identity. Of course, the main reason is that Xingjian trusts the people in the tavern. Mia's mother who took him in is a kind person. She will definitely not pursue his special abilities and will protect him as a new member of the tavern family.

"Is it really that magical?"

The cat-eared girl, Anya, came forward with a curious look on her face.

"Please order a plate of Mia Mama's secret roasted wild boar steak."

Xingjian was also not vague and decided to test the magic of this tablecloth in practice. He immediately reported the name of the dish to the gourmet tablecloth.

As soon as he finished speaking, the tablecloth twisted like a living thing and wrapped the plate tightly in the blink of an eye.

After waiting for three seconds, Xingjian suddenly lifted the tablecloth - he saw the sizzling golden steaks, steaming hot, with the caramel sauce flowing, which was exactly the same as the one baked according to Mia's ancestral secret recipe.

The dwarf proprietress stared at the wild boar steak in front of her with wide eyes, and the sauce on her fingers was trembling slightly:

"This aroma... even the heat is exactly the same as when I bake it myself! Boy, if you have this skill, go set up a stall in front of the Ganesha family. In less than three days, I guarantee you'll be able to pay off your debt!"

Hoshimi: "Its principle is to extract the deliciousness from people's memories. As long as they have eaten this dish and know its name, they can perfectly reproduce it."

Cat girl Anya appeared out of nowhere and poked the steak with her cat claws. "Newbie, you just said you can have unlimited refills. Can I have the limited edition cake from the Ganesha Festival?!"

"Of course." Xingjian replied.

"I didn't expect there really were such magical things. Hmm... the girl with glasses in the Hermes family can always tinker with some weird things." Mia's mother exclaimed in amazement.

Xier and Mia's mother both mentioned the leader of the Hermes family, "The Almighty" Yasfi. Perhaps in their eyes, these magical props of Xingjian have the same purpose.

This is fine, as I won’t delve into the true origins of these props.

but……

Looking at the fragrant roasted wild boar meat steak, Xingjian felt extremely happy.

With this gourmet tablecloth, you will never have to worry about having nothing to eat even in a deserted place like the deep realm.

If you can make good use of this ability, expeditions and the like will be a piece of cake!

But before Xingjian could finish his imagination, something unexpected happened.

The wild boar steak that was originally lying obediently on the plate suddenly seemed to come to life, tap dancing happily with the sauce on its feet.

"Eh?? Meat! The meat is dancing!"

Anya, who had already taken out her knife and was ready to enjoy "Mr. Ota's compatriots", rubbed her eyes and was stunned.

Seeing this, Xier curiously reached out to grab the wild boar steak, but unexpectedly, the steak jumped out of the pan, drew an arc in the air, and landed steadily on the table, continuing to bounce...

How can I eat this? !

"Mr. Hoshimi, is this also how you use your props?"

Xier looked confused.

“It’s not.”

Xingjian looked at the scene, feeling helpless.

Just like the bamboo dragonfly yesterday, this gourmet tablecloth also seems to have something unusual. It seems that my golden finger is not very stable at the moment.

We have to find a way to make it a truly reliable prop.

Seeing the flying steak splattering sauce all over the tavern, the dwarf proprietress stretched out her big hand and pressed it directly on Xingjian's head, "Boy, you messed up this dish, and you need to pay extra for cleaning!"

Chapter 5 Tower of Babel, Do You Want to Become an Adventurer?

When vanilla salt and icing sugar were mixed up for the fifteenth time, causing the pumpkin soup that should have been sweet to taste strangely salty and astringent, Mia's mother mercilessly demoted Liu, who was labeled a "useless elf", and Xingjian, and sent them miserably to the kitchen to wash dishes.

Miss Liu stood dejectedly in front of the cooking table three meters away. The moonlight, like water, poured down through the high Gothic window, entwining strands of her swaying golden hair, as if she had been coated with a layer of cold silver, making her already slender figure appear even more lonely.

"Miss Liu, would you like to try this?"

Xing Jian, who was washing dishes, noticed Liu's loneliness, stopped what he was doing, shook the rag with cat paw prints on it, and said softly:

"This has lemon dishwashing liquid on it, and it's very effective in removing stains."

The blonde elf's fingertips paused slightly. She tilted her head slightly, and a faint blush appeared on the pale tips of her ears. She replied softly, "Um... um, okay."

Although Liu could no longer think of turning herself in because of Mia's mother's words, she was obviously still in a deep emotional trough at the moment.

If she couldn't find the light of hope to continue living, she was afraid that she would be trapped in this quagmire of depression for a long time, unable to extricate herself.

"Hey! New here!"

The sound of water splashing in the sink was suddenly interrupted by a cute cry.

Anya's furry cat ears suddenly popped out from behind the pile of plates. "I'll leave the dishwashing job to Liu Sang. We're shorthanded right now. Hurry and deliver this mead to the dwarf uncle at table number seven, meow~"

As she spoke, she patted Xingjian's back with her paw pad and hurriedly reminded him, "Also, when you pass table number four, be sure to avoid the Amazon sisters! They've already crushed four wine glasses today. I'm responsible for this table. If you dare to approach them, be careful that they will drag you to Happy Street in the middle of the night to 'test your knives', meow~"

"I-I know."

Xingjian quickly agreed, wiped his hands, and carefully picked up the mead.

However, just as Xingjian was walking down the aisle with the wine jug in his arms, he was suddenly confronted by the Amazon sisters' strong bronze arms, which were lying across the aisle in a brutal manner.

The leopard-print female warrior in the lead, holding a battle axe thicker than her waist in one hand, looked majestic. With her other hand, she reached out with malicious intent, as if to hook Xingjian's collar. She even stuck out her tongue and licked her plump lips, her eyes filled with greed and passion.

"Hey, cute boy, do you want to play an exciting adult game with us? As long as you can hold on for ten minutes, we will give you 100,000 faris right away."

"No, no need... I'm not a male model."

Xingjian looked at the Amazon warrior's eyes that seemed to want to eat him alive, and felt a chill on his back, with cold sweat running down his face.

Fortunately, Xier appeared in time at the critical moment and helped Xingjie escape the siege with just a few words.

----

Finally, the pub gradually quieted down late at night.

Xingjian was wiping the last table wearily when he suddenly heard Xier's crisp laughter. "Look at you now. You look just like a hare caught in the net of the Amazon sisters."

Xingjian looked up and saw the gray-haired girl Xier sitting leisurely at the bar, her long legs swaying back and forth, and her fingertips lightly turning a silver fork dipped in caramel. She looked very comfortable.

Outside the window, the Tower of Babel looked like a white giant reaching from heaven to earth, its light piercing through the dark twilight and reaching into the sky.

On top of the spiraling tower, a dark blue magic stone was quietly suspended, like an eye that was always alert and never closed, mysterious and majestic.

Xingjian's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the daytime, and scenes emerged in his mind: adventurers, each carrying sharp weapons, poured into the bottom of the tower like a tide, but when they came out again, they were completely different.

Some were covered in wounds and were dying.

Some had flushed faces, tightly clutching glowing magic stones in their arms, and laughed wildly. One of the swordsmen had half a goblin's claw stuck on his arm armor, and a bloody smell filled his face.

"Nah~ Xingjian, you've been busy in the tavern all day. Have you heard from those adventurers what this world is like?"

Xier tilted her head and asked with interest.

"I have a general understanding of it."

Xingjian put down the rag in his hand, took a long breath, and spoke slowly.

After a busy day at the "Hostes of Abundance Tavern", Xingjian was even more impressed by this new world.
