Is this cheat code from Bika? Just do it!

The clerk at the steamed bun shop looked at the merchant in front of him, blinked, and, suppressing his breathing discomfort, asked, "Sir, what do you need... a few meat buns?"

"This..." The merchant was speechless. He had just heard that there were other types of buns to choose from, so why was he being asked to buy meat buns? Were all the others omitted? He muttered to himself, but dared not show it on his face.

"Two meat buns." The merchant ultimately chose the meat buns, feeling a deep sense of malice. "It's just that I haven't bathed in a few months, everyone's like this!" he thought indignantly.

"One copper coin!" The shop assistant packed the buns and carefully handed them to the merchant, clutching the coin as he did so, afraid of being bothered by the merchant's stench.

The businessman suddenly wondered if he was some kind of monster.

He grabbed the steamed bun, then thought he should find a place to take a shower.

He looked around and noticed a small river not far away, but the water didn't look clean.

He secretly decided to find a public bathhouse.

"Um, sir, there's a public bathhouse on another street. You can take a shower there," the clerk called out kindly, a genuine smile on his face.

"Okay..." The businessman nodded silently; he decided to go take a bath.

He secretly vowed to himself that he would pay more attention to hygiene from now on and not let people find him disgusting again.

Is this what makes Winterhold so unique?

Vikson thought to himself, "This place not only has delicious buns and friendly staff, but also a hygienic public bathhouse and a wise and powerful lord."

He believed that Winter City would become more prosperous and better in the future.

161. Comfortable

"Father, Father, please try those buns! They're so delicious! Especially the big meat bun—the filling is so tender and juicy. One bite and you'll feel pure bliss!"

Ge'er's clear, childlike voice rang out cheerfully. As he spoke, he waved his little hands excitedly, his face beaming with a satisfied smile, completely unlike the discontent he had shown when he first entered the city.

When they first arrived in the city, Ge'er was filled with resistance. She pouted, frowned, and muttered under her breath, "What's so great about this place? It's much better to stay in the countryside."

But at this moment, his attention was completely drawn to the delicious buns, his eyes sparkling, as if the whole world had been reduced to just those tempting buns.

Solo turned his head slightly, glanced at his youngest son's bulging belly, and couldn't help but show a doting yet helpless smile on his lips. He said, "Okay, we'll go buy it later, but you've already eaten enough. If you eat any more, your belly will burst."

Solo himself couldn't help but savor the taste of that meat bun in his mind.

Those steamed buns were indeed delicious. The soft dough, with a gentle bite, seemed to allow you to feel the fineness of the flour and the perfect fermentation.

And the juicy meat filling, perfectly seasoned and with a unique savory aroma, is much better than the flatbreads sold in the capital.

The flatbread in the capital was dry and hard, tasteless, and expensive—three copper coins each, which was a real rip-off.

As Solo thought to himself, he muttered to himself, "If it weren't so far from the capital, I would definitely buy hundreds of meat buns and take them back to the capital for those greedy nobles to try. They eat delicacies every day, and they may never have tasted anything so delicious. If they like them, I might even get some business, which would be a huge profit. It's a pity it's too far away; by the time I get back, they'll have gone bad. What a shame."

"It's settled then, Father. I want two, no, I want three meat buns."

Ger had originally held up two fingers, but then suddenly felt that two wasn't enough, so he hurriedly changed it to three fingers, staring intently at his father, afraid that his father would change his mind.

Looking at his son's adorable yet greedy expression, Solo couldn't help but pat his head and say gently, "Okay, I'll buy you whatever you want."

After saying that, he looked up and began to scan his surroundings, thinking to himself, "Where exactly is this public bathroom? I've been looking for so long and still can't find it."

Seeing his father looking around, Ger asked in confusion, "Father, what are you looking for?"

Solo casually replied, "A place to take a bath? I heard from those merchants that there are public bathhouses here, but we've been looking for ages and still haven't found one."

Geer looked up, his eyes sparkling with curiosity, and asked, "Father, aren't you going to ask someone else?"

Solo was speechless upon hearing his son's words, thinking to himself, "Uh...ask someone else?"

Why didn't I ask? I've asked several people already, but I still can't find the place. Damn it, so damn it! Solo would never admit he was directionally challenged, absolutely not! Alas! I should have kept my servants; now we can't even get back to the inn. What am I going to do?

Just as Solo was feeling a bit annoyed, Ger suddenly tugged at Solo's sleeve and excitedly pointed to a house not far behind them, saying, "Father, look! There's a lot of smoke coming out of that house!"

Upon hearing his son's words, Solo immediately turned around and looked behind him, instantly seeing the four words on the sign—the very one he had been searching for: public bathhouse!

A question lingered in his mind: "Wasn't that the place I just walked by? How could I not see it? Am I, Solo, blind? No, it must be that the sign was too small for me to see. Yes! That's it!"

Thinking of this, Solo suddenly perked up, grabbed Ger and ran wildly, his eyes fixed on the public bathhouse as if afraid it would grow wings and fly away.

"Phew...we're here!" Solo stood panting in front of the public bathhouse, looking at the three-meter-tall sign above his head. Still feeling a bit resentful, he turned his head away and muttered, "This sign is too small!"

The two stepped inside, and Solo saw a counter with two men and two women sitting inside. They all looked to be in their thirties and were folding cloth towels made of linen.

Their movements were very skillful; they folded the towels neatly and placed them on a shelf to the side.

A middle-aged female server looked up and saw Solo and his companion. She quickly put down the towel in her hand and asked with a smile, "Guests, are you here to take a bath?"

Upon hearing the waiter's words, Solo nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself, "Finally, I've found the right place. It's been so long since I've been looking for it."

Just then, another person came in. He was a commoner, filthy, his clothes covered in dust and stains, clearly someone who did hard labor. He looked tired, his hair was disheveled, and he walked in with a limp.

"Guest, are you here to take a bath?" another male waiter asked warmly.

The commoner nodded with a wry smile and said, "Yes, I was filthy. My wife kicked me out of the house, saying I wasn't allowed to go home until I washed myself properly. Sigh, life is really tough." As he spoke, he held a change of clothes in his hand; the clothes were wrinkled and smelled of sweat.

The male waiter chuckled and said, "Hehe... This was unthinkable before, right? After a long day, you can actually take a shower. Back then, we didn't have this kind of luxury. We were exhausted and could only find a place to wipe ourselves down. We could never enjoy a comfortable hot shower like this."

The commoners nodded repeatedly, saying with emotion, "Yes! We can't believe it. We have to thank Lord Link for this. If it weren't for Lord Link building this public bathhouse, we wouldn't be able to enjoy such a privilege."

The male attendant then asked, "Okay, would you like to take a bath in the main public bathhouse or in a private room?"

The commoner hesitated for a moment, then said, "The public bathhouse has private rooms, which are too expensive. I only earn a few coins a day, and I can't bear to waste money like that." As he spoke, he took out an ID card from his pocket and handed over a copper coin.

The male attendant carefully examined the ID card, nodded, and said, "Okay, go to the No. 1 bathhouse. A group of customers came in just now, and the water was changed after they finished using it, so the water should still be quite clean."

The ordinary citizen got his ID card back, feeling a bit strange. He thought to himself, "Normally, the water in the bathhouse isn't changed at this time. What's going on today?" But since the waiter said so, it should be fine, right?

The middle-aged female attendant looked at Solo and asked with a smile, "Sir, would you like to bathe in the main public bath or in a private room?"

Solo, mimicking the commoner's way of speaking, said, "The public bathhouse!"

The middle-aged female server nodded and then asked, "Okay, do you have an ID card?"

Solo was a little confused, thinking, "ID card? What's that? You need an ID to take a shower? This place has so many rules." So he asked in bewilderment, "ID card? What's that?"

The middle-aged female attendant patiently explained, "It's proof of identity for ordinary citizens of this city. If you don't have it, it's okay. You can take a bath by paying two copper coins per person."

Solo was puzzled by the waiter's words. He thought to himself, "Didn't that person just pay one copper coin? Is this a blatant price increase? That's too unreasonable."

So he couldn't help but ask, "But didn't that person only have one copper coin?"

The middle-aged female waitress laughed and said slowly, "Hehehe... You can take a bath for one copper coin if you have an ID card. That's a benefit that the city lord provides to us citizens. You out-of-towners, of course, will pay more."

Solo was speechless upon hearing the waiter's words. Although somewhat displeased, he was helpless. He reluctantly pulled out four copper coins and handed them over, saying, "Two people!"

The middle-aged female attendant took the copper coin and said, "Alright! Please proceed to bathhouse number one, sir!"

Solo turned his head and looked inside, and saw two doors, one labeled "Male" and the other "Female." He led Gel into the "Male" door, and then they saw a series of doors marked with numbers, the first of which was door number one.

"That should be the No. 1 bathhouse!" Solo muttered to himself.

Solo pushed open door number one and saw a rectangular room filled with a faint warmth. He then saw the civilian from before undressing. He moved very quickly, stripping off his clothes in a few moments and standing naked. He stuffed his clothes into a small, numbered wooden box, then carried the box through another door.

Solo was stunned when he saw this, thinking to himself, "Taking off my clothes here? How embarrassing!"

He turned his head and looked around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was paying attention to him.

"Good, no one saw," Solo thought to himself. He then quickly stripped Ger naked, and then stripped himself naked as well. Following the commoner's method, he stuffed his clothes into the wooden box, and then pushed open the door and went inside.

Upon entering, a humid and hot atmosphere hits you, and the fog makes it difficult to see your surroundings.

Solo looked around the room and saw a large, upright bathtub, nearly ten meters long, with three tubs lined up in a row. The edges of the tubs were carved with simple patterns, giving them a very antique look.

One of them, the civilian who came in first, was scrubbing his body. He was scrubbing very hard, and black grime came out of his body.

Seeing the naked Solo and Ger, he smiled kindly and said, "You're here too. This bathhouse is really comfortable."

Solo nodded, returned a smile, and then led Ger into another pool, saying, "This feels so good!"

The warm water made him feel lazy and relaxed, as if all his fatigue had been washed away. But the next second, Solo was embarrassed. He saw that the water around him had turned murky and thought to himself, "How dirty am I? It seems I haven't had a proper bath in a long time."

He quietly moved to a different spot, but the water quickly became murky again. So Solo moved the water to three different spots before it became murky again.

Solo thought to himself, "When those merchants who haven't bathed for months come here, will the water need to be changed after they take a bath? There probably isn't enough water in this bathhouse for them."

...

Half an hour later, Solo led the dizzy-looking Ger out of the bathhouse.

Ge'er's face was flushed, her eyes were a little dazed, and she was walking unsteadily. If the waiter hadn't urged them on, they probably would have fainted in the bathhouse.

Solo turned his head and looked at the door of the public bathhouse, his heart filled with envy. He thought to himself, "It's so nice to have a bathhouse like this. Why doesn't the capital have one?"

The nobles in the capital only know how to enjoy wealth and luxury all day long, but never think about doing anything practical for the people.

If the capital city had public bathhouses like these, how happy the people would be!

"Quick, look! It's Lord Link!"

"Lord Link is about to go out of town to inspect the fields, and that beautiful elf lady is with him!"

"What 'elf lady'? You should call her Lady Lucie!"

Shouts of civilians rose from the side, their voices filled with excitement and anticipation. Solo saw a group of civilians running forward, their faces beaming with excitement, their steps hurried, as if afraid of missing something important.

"Lord Link?" Solo's eyes lit up. He thought to himself that he absolutely had to drag Ger along to get a good look at this genius who could invent public toilets and public baths, to see what he actually looked like—was he a bearded old scholar? Or a wise, white-haired nobleman? Maybe he could even learn some methods of governing a city from him.

So Solo quickly grabbed Gel's hand and ran after the commoners. Along the way, he was extremely excited, constantly imagining Link's appearance in his mind...

162. A beautiful night in Lucy

Link sat upright in the magnificent carriage, the interior of which was exquisitely decorated, and the soft cushions exuded a faint scent of leather.

Accompanying him were several close friends, including Lu Xie, who sat or leaned, each with a different posture but all exuding a sense of leisure.

Surrounded by a group of guards, the carriage slowly made its way out of the city, the clatter of hooves blending with the rolling wheels to create a unique marching symphony.

Along the way, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the car windows, bringing warmth to everyone.

Lu Xie turned slightly to the side, looking through the car window at the cheering crowds on both sides of the street.

The crowd surged like a tide, waving colorful ribbons, their faces beaming with warm and genuine smiles, chanting Link's name in unison, their voices rising and falling, echoing through the sky.

Seeing this, Lucy couldn't help but smile and said, "Lord Link is really popular. Look, the people of Winterfell are cheering and shouting. Their excitement is as if you are the sun in their hearts, bringing them endless hope and light."

Rinko Akiyama nodded slightly, her eyes full of agreement: "Yes, these people are very simple and honest. They are straightforward and don't have many hidden agendas. As long as you treat them well, even if it's just solving some small problems in their lives, they will be extremely grateful and remember this kindness in their hearts, expressing their respect in the most enthusiastic way."

Upon hearing this, Link straightened up slightly, gazing into the distance through the car window. His expression revealed a hint of wisdom and depth as he spoke eloquently: "In my hometown, there's an old saying: 'Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.' These people may seem ordinary, but they possess immense power, which should not be underestimated. By uniting this power and working together, we can accomplish incredible things and create one miracle after another."

Just then, Link's gaze inadvertently drifted through the car window and fell upon the merchants from various regions whom Farahia had invited. They were dressed in diverse attire, carrying their own goods, and were gathered in small groups, conversing.

Link's heart stirred, and he turned to Lucia, saying, "It seems that the merchants invited by Farahia have arrived. Lucia, you and Farahia will probably need to put in a lot of effort these next few days. These merchants come from all over the world, and they bring not only goods, but also a bridge for communication between the North and the outside world. They are key to the future development of our North, so we must treat them well and strive to achieve more cooperation."

Lushe smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with determination and confidence: "This is what we should do, Lord Link. Rest assured, we will do our best to make these merchants feel the warmth and sincerity of the North."

Link unconsciously took Lucia's hand and felt the warmth of her palm.

This elf not only possesses stunning beauty, but also a brilliant mind and a kind heart; her charm is second to none.

Link smirked mischievously and teased, "As a reward, Lucia's coming to my room tonight~"

A burst of cheerful laughter immediately filled the carriage, and the carriage continued its journey out of the city in this joyful atmosphere.

......

Night has fallen, and tonight, naturally, we'll be sleeping together under the same covers.

However, the first to experience pleasure tonight was not Asagi or Fiorena, but Lushe, who gave up the first spot.

inside the room.

Lu Xie's soft, fragrant body, still warm from being a young girl, fell into Link's arms. Link looked down and saw her lovely, alluring face, like a ripe peach, radiating the pure aura of a young girl.

Her long, delicate eyelashes accentuated Lu Xie's perfect face, her small, fair nose, and her cherry-pink lips...

Link gently pressed his lips to Lu Xie's lips. The moment they touched, the cool scent of gardenias wafted from Lu Xie's lips. Link's tongue hungrily pried open Lu Xie's teeth and began to dart and roam freely in her mouth.

"Sizzle!"

As if to suck all the saliva off Lucy's soft tongue, Link forced Lucy to give him her first pure and passionate wet kiss as a young girl, and in response to Lucy's expectation, Link also gave a long and lingering response.

"Lu Xie's lips are so soft, it feels so sweet to kiss them..."

Suck it~

Link's hands slid down suddenly, slowly caressing Lu Xie's two slender legs. The fair skin at the base of her thighs was as delicate as a young girl's, and the erotic white stockings added a unique allure to Lu Xie. Her slightly turned-in toes perfectly highlighted the cuteness of Lu Xie's slightly plump legs.

"pat~"

Link forcefully pulled off both shoes, then ripped off the socks as well. Lucy's pink, moist soles, reddened by the sweaty, stuffy environment, were now right in front of Link's face. Link held Lucy's slender arches in his hands and gently licked her cute, jade-like toes, which were twitching slightly with unease.
