CHAPTER 783: SPA

"So, this is the spa." Clovis smiled. It definitely looked like the entrance to a spa in a modern mall. It didn’t show any fantasy-like entrance. Then again, there was no store that had such a thing.

Clovis entered the shop. Unlike other shops, the menu was actually at the front desk. The only thing that made him curious was actually the cylinder next to the front desk. He was wondering what it was.

Still, the menu itself wasn’t as different as he originally expected.

It had a lot of similar options, but the effect was definitely ridiculous.

[Detoxifying Treatment (30,000,000 otherworldly coins)]

Effect: Overall physical abilities increase by 10% for 24 hours and removes all sorts of poisons under Tier 5.

"Blue... this kind of treatment... Is it not a bit too much?" Clovis gasped.

[Of course not, Master. As you are already aware, a lot of items have less and less effect the stronger you are. That is because your strength increases drastically every time you increase your tier.]

[So, even if it gives a lower effect, it will still give you a boost much bigger than the previous tier. Of course, the same applies to the food you’re eating right now. Now, most raw ingredients only give you 2% to 2.5% affinity.]

[It will be lower when you reach Tier 6 and so on. However, the effect of the treatment in this store doesn’t correspond to your tier. Instead, it will remain the same no matter what your current strength is.]

[There are two reasons. The first reason is the technique itself. Due to the changes in your body as you increase the tier, the technique has to be changed to suit your constitution. As a result, it will produce a similar result because it’s only about matching your constitution.]

[The second is the ingredients. More potent ingredients can end up harming your health, so this establishment doesn’t offer such a thing. Instead, it gives you the perfect materials that your body currently needs. Hence, this effect will remain the same.]

"I see. So, if I’m Tier 9, can it even remove a Tier 9 poison?" This was probably the biggest effect. Even his grandfather would worry about a poison. As long as he had this treatment, he didn’t have to worry about poison anymore. The only thing he had to worry about was his current strength. If he didn’t get strong enough and encountered a much more powerful poison, even this treatment was useless.

[Also, have you noticed something different, Master?]

"Hmm?" Clovis frowned. "What do you mean?"

[After becoming a VVIP member, you are now allowed to see the exact Tier of everything in this mall.]

"Oh? But I have been keeping track of them, even if there’s no tier. So, it doesn’t change much for me."

[Of course. It’s a minor upgrade, so I didn’t mention it.]

"Well..." Clovis shrugged and continued reading the menu, only to be shocked by what he found.

[Special Druid Massage (25,000,000,000 Otherworldly Coins)]

Effect: Remove fatigue, loosen energy channels, reduce pain by 20% for 24 hours, and reduce fatigue rate by 20% for 24 hours.

What Clovis found strange was not the massage itself, but what was underneath it.

[Spa Package +++ (120,000,000 Otherworldly Coins)]

Description: Detoxifying Treatment, Special Druid Massage, Facial Treatment

It wouldn’t have been strange if it was the only one, but there was a much cheaper option.

[Space Package (70,000,000 Otherworldly Coins)]

Description: Detoxifying Treatment, Special Druid Massage, Facial Treatment

The description was the same. In other words, it was supposed to offer the same thing, so why would it be 50 million more expensive?

"Although I had expected this, this +++ package..." Clovis glanced at Blue with his eyebrows twitching.

[Of course. We definitely offer that kind of service, Master. You became 18 years old a few months prior, so you can now enjoy the service. The same applies to the bookstores. We have various amazing books you can explore.]

"..." Clovis facepalmed. As he expected, it was that kind of service. Though, it was even more amazing that the price of the treatment was doubled. It wasn’t just a small sum either. It was a freaking 50 million otherworldly coins.

Fortunately, he already had four girlfriends. There was no need for this kind of treatment. It wasn’t like him either to spend so extravagantly on such a thing.

"Anyway, I’m going to try this normal package. Do I even have the permission to remove this kind of thing entirely?"

[No. You might even want it in the future. Even if it’s not you, others might want to try...]

"..." Clovis could only think of two people. Jay and Ragna. Aileen would definitely castrate Erwin if she ever caught him picking this package.

"Anyway, I’m going to try it. Also, the new pet is welcome. I will buy one later, so prepare it for me." Clovis waved his hand. Having a second pet would definitely increase his strength tremendously. It could even be his trump card.

Besides, he could hide the second pet, which no one knew about, in Another World Mall. So, he would definitely catch one right away.

After all, it took quite some time for even Reolf to catch up to him. It was better to get the new pet quickly and let it catch up.

[Understood.]

Once he picked up the package, the cylinder he was curious about earlier shone brightly.

"What’s this?" Clovis covered his eyes, peeking from a small gap between his fingers to see what was going on.

A figure gradually formed inside the cylinder. The form looked like a woman in her early twenties. She had a graceful face and wore a rather simple white staff outfit. Still, this one wasn’t human. It had short, pointy ears and emerald green eyes.

"What is that, Blue? Who is she?"

[She is the staff of the mall for this store. Each store will have one that will appear whenever you need it. You can’t talk to her. However, if you choose the special package, she will be no different from a living being.]

"Are you sure this is legal?"

[This is the international world, the area between this world and other worlds. Just like international waters, the international world doesn’t have a law.]

"You—!"
