"Welcome, sir! Wind, Flower, Snow&Moon is the largest jewelry store in Mandala. It is well-known throughout the continent. We have all kinds of accessories here!" The waitress in uniform greeted Bexia.
"I want to buy a piece of jewelry!" Bexia said directly.
"Are you buying it for yourself or as a gift?" the waitress asked.
"Of course, it's for someone else!"
"For a girl you like, perhaps?"
"Well... no, it's for my sister."
"Is she your blood sister or just a theoretical sister?" The waitress had the ability to read between the lines, and Bexia's hesitation had already revealed a lot to her. As for whether he had the ability to afford it, the waitress had already figured it out from the ring in Bexia's hands.
As a staff member in this high-end place, good judgment was very important, especially for those who received guests. They could generally tell what kind of person someone was with just a single glance. Even if someone who appeared relatively poor came in, they definitely wouldn't have a bad attitude. They just wouldn't be as enthusiastic as a wealthy person, after all, they were running a business and not a smiley service station.
The ring in Bexia's hand was clearly a spatial prop. Although it didn't appear particularly translucent in the light, its quality was definitely not low. It was at least a mid-level spatial magic stone, proving that Bexia was definitely not a pauper. Because a mid-level spatial ring like this would cost at least 100,000 gold coins.
"Theoretical sister!"
"Hehe!" Seeing Bexia's somewhat clueless look and his young face, the waitress wanted to pinch his cheeks. After all, girls always liked cute things.
"I understand. So, what kind of jewelry are you looking for, sir? We have ordinary jewelry, special magical jewelry, gold and silver jewelry, jade jewelry, crystal jewelry, and some jewelry made of special materials. May I ask which type you need?"
After listening to the waitress's introduction, Bexia was suddenly confused. He just wanted to buy a gift, but he hadn't thought about it so much. Now that there were so many options, he didn't know how to choose.
"If you are having a hard time deciding, why don't you come and take a look with me?" The waitress noticed Bexia's dilemma and knew that he was a first-timer. She even wondered if he had run away from that family or force, estimating that he had never been outside before. Otherwise, he wouldn't look so clueless!
"Thank you! I'll leave it to you, sis."
"It's my duty!" Upon hearing Bexia's words, the waitress liked him even more. To be honest, during her time here, this was the first time someone had thanked her.
Bexia followed the waitress's footsteps. This shop mostly adopted the style of Anzu Kingdom, and the waitress also dressed in a traditional Anzu Kingdom dress called "qipao," which was said to be the most irresistible dress among men on the continent.
"Sir, take a look at this. It's a pair of earrings crafted by top artisans in the palace. The quality is top-notch." The waitress introduced a pair of rose pattern earrings placed on the counter. The golden light was dazzling.
"They are beautiful, but they don't seem to match Sis Dragon's temperament." Bexia shook his head. The items were very nice, but they didn't seem to suit Long Momo's character.
"What kind of jewelry does the person you want to gift usually wear?" the waitress asked.
"Well...," Bexia pondered for a moment and realized that Long Momo didn't usually wear much jewelry. The only jewelry-like thing he had seen was the jade pendant charm he gave her when they first met. However, because of the incident with Kervy, the charm had been damaged.
"She doesn't usually wear jewelry." Bexia thought for a moment and answered.
"She doesn't wear jewelry?" The waitress frowned. But jewelry doesn't only refer to accessories; there are other types of jewelry too!
"Do you have any kind of jewelry that can uplift a person's mood when worn?" Bexia suddenly asked."How is it possible for such jewelry to exist? Sir, please don't joke!" The waitress shook her head. How could there be something that controls emotions? Can such a thing even be controlled by objects?
"But we do have special jewelry here that can clear your mind and make you mentally sharp!" the waitress said.
"That works too. Show me!"
"Sure, please follow me, sir."
The waitress led Bexia further inside. The deeper they went, the more precious the things became. And these pieces of jewelry with mental effects were not cheap, although they were not the most expensive either.
"This pendant is made of fantasy crystal..."
"These earrings are made of jade that is thousands of years old..."
"This is..."
There were countless pieces of jewelry in this extravagant place, each one exquisite. Bexia was overwhelmed by the choices as he glanced back and forth at the jewelry. He wondered which one to buy.
"Sis Dragon probably doesn't need jewelry, so let's buy..." In the end, Bexia's gaze stopped on a pendant made of fantasy crystal. That was the one.
"Please wrap this up for me!"
"Is it the 'Seven-Colored Dream'?" The waitress pointed to the pendant with a smile.
"Yes! That's it."
"Alright, please wait a moment!" The waitress smiled and immediately had someone put the "Seven-Colored Dream" in a specially-made crystal box.
"How much is it?"
"It costs 88,888 gold coins!" The waitress's smile made Bexia freeze. He suddenly doubted if his ears were malfunctioning. One piece of jewelry cost nearly a hundred thousand gold coins?!
"How much?!"
"Our merchandise is clearly priced. We would never deceive our customers. You can rest assured, sir!" explained the waitress.
"Alright!" Although surprised, Bexia didn't care about the money at all. He took out the gold card with one million gold coins that Rhode gave him and handed it to the waitress for payment.
"Welcome back next time!"
"Goodbye!" Bexia took a few steps and suddenly stopped. He took out the crystal box containing the pendant from his ring. Under the sunlight, the pendant blossomed in dazzling seven-colored light, like a little sun, enveloping the whole street. Countless people turned their heads to gaze at it.
This scene was a bit unexpected for Bexia. He never imagined that the pendant would have such an effect. In fact, he only took it out to see if it would have a calming effect when placed on the ground.
