"Meow, is the list you made too small?"
"Is it still less?"
"Meow! Of course, meow is missing. If someone pays for me, I will definitely write each application ten times, meow!"
"Well…"
"The most important thing is that you want too many things and too few things to be reimbursed. How can this be done? Cats never ask for a budget just because of how much they need to use. Instead, as long as they are given a chance to be reimbursed, they will first I’ll fight to the death to get the reimbursement and budget amount, and then we’ll talk about other things, meow! Meow, she’s here! Behave well!”
…
Melina watched as the clockwork cat jumped off the table holding a large can of carbonated drink, and then was blown away by the jet of carbonated drink, meowing and screaming. When Sonia came down from upstairs, when she saw this scene, she widened her big purple eyes full of mystery, puffed up her unsuspecting chest, and paused for a moment before continuing to walk down.
"What's wrong with the cat?"
Sonia feels like she is about to become a professional cat breeder, Luisa is a Siamese with a delicate personality, Caterina is a fold-eared person who is sensitive and has a sense of competition that comes from nowhere, and Melina has the shortcomings of all cats. By the way, G is also a succubus with a cat-like personality that doesn’t make people worry. The banshee race seems to produce more women of this type. Oh, not to mention clockwork cats. Clockwork cats have distinctive personalities and are very popular due to the attributes of cat dumplings, but they are also a very troublesome species.
Look, this wind-up cat was tricked by the carbonated drink. He lost his temper and began to overeat and drink like a revenge.
Melina puffed her face.
Seeing her expression, Sonia was used to the ups and downs of the other person's mood, so she asked casually:
"What's wrong?"
"..." A little shy.
"Well, do you have something to tell me? Let's talk while we walk."
"Okay." Melina thought, she couldn't always be passive, but she always chose the passive side.
…
The town that the banshee Sonia came to, Hamlet Town, obviously brought something different from the past, and this thing was called [Hope].
In this poor and backward village, various magical plots were connected for the first time.
The factory is operating.
Tons of stone and wood are transported into the processing plant, where they are produced into qualified building materials and shipped out.
People had smiles on their faces.
There was a little girl on the street corner waving to Melina, and Melina waved back to her with a smile, watching the little girl named Johanna run away.
Johanna is the daughter of Aunt Malu. The woman who handled the procedures for Melina had a past that was lost in the capital. She returned to her hometown with her daughter and settled down here. Her daughter likes Melina very much. She is only seven years old this year, but she can already say such words as "When I grow up, I want to be a maintenance worker. In order to repair you, you will make me fall into love."
Melina couldn't help but laugh when she thought about it.
Then she realized that if Sonia hadn't changed this history, this girl would have died in Hamlet? Not necessarily, because there are relief ships. At the same time, she thought of Georgia. The little mayor had an infinitely bright future, but the terminator was drawn here, the Weeping Peninsula.
Can I really treat these people as passers-by as Maria said?
Can you maintain a calm judgment from a completely objective perspective?
It's hard.
It's very difficult.
She turned her head to look at Sonia, who was wearing a triumphant smile like a clockwork cat. She passed a construction site and high-fived a construction site worker regardless of whether her hands were dirty.
She is proud from the bottom of her heart.
Melina thought.
Walking out of the gate of the town, a dragon turtle car was ready.
Sonia never saves money and only spends money for comfort. This car has a mobile table between two people sitting opposite each other. But this is not the royal capital, and no matter how luxurious it is, it is only based on practicality.
"Can you tell me what happened now?"
Melina felt a little embarrassed to say it.
She wanted to be reimbursed for the cost of modifying her equipment. But she always feels that this kind of behavior...is no different from being a spoiler! It's not like she can't make money... She mustered up the courage in her heart and whispered: "I'm going to upgrade my weapons recently and get two elemental guns..."
She didn't finish her sentence.
I saw Sonia waving her hands, and I don’t know if she was understanding or being serious and said:
"Then you give the bill to the cat Genaros, and she will say, 'Meow! So much?'. Just leave the cat alone and give her the bill. She will apply for funds from me to pay it. This is It’s a process, you just get used to it.”
Whether on purpose or not, communicating with Clockwork Cat relieves Melina's stress.
She looked at Sonia and could only say 'Thank you'. Otherwise, she could only work harder when hunting.
“Isn’t there a construction team on the Weeping Peninsula?”
"No."
"...A quick answer that is beyond imagination, and an answer that is beyond imagination, is there really no such thing?"
Construction is a very simple matter in this world, and things like load-bearing walls can be done completely with magic factors. Many of the houses built in this world are of a level that would make a civil engineer run away with a bucket, but they are the norm, and there are no problems at all and they are absolutely reliable. Basically, a banshee plus five or six ordinary people, plus about twenty wind-up cats, can form a reliable construction team.
If Weeping Peninsula didn't even have this, it would be really scary.
"Where do you think the Weeping Peninsula is?"
"Desolate place?"
"Then what do you think of desolation? The buildings are very unreliable. Before I arrived, there were no qualified routes in the town. There were no barns to store various grains, mushrooms, onions and other ingredients collected from the wilderness. Even the purchased goods The pot has to go to Haven. This is Hamlet, and Hamlet is already the best town in the entire Weeping Peninsula.”
"That's it."
Melina thought of Raccoon Town, which was still in its primitive form of a multi-settlement. Liangpu Town is similar. These towns are towns rather than small villages with more people. They are not good places.
"Then let's work hard to develop the Weeping Peninsula."
Melina said.
"Huh? Have you... developed a slight affection for Weeping Peninsula?"
"No." Melina retorted, "It's just that if this place is going to be a long-term residence, then naturally you want it to be more convenient, right? If you want an alchemy house, you can buy all kinds of potions very conveniently if you have an alchemy house. , although I can make many potions by myself, but it’s very troublesome.”
Alchemy is a very troublesome subject. Sometimes you have to wear specific clothes and go to a specific space to complete alchemy.
Melina didn't like that, it was very troublesome.
It was more suitable for her to boil medicine, and it had to be something that could be done quickly. She didn't have the patience to do it if it took more than a day.
"I want a clothing store."
Although it is strange to say this, Melina hopes to live a life of saving the world with a sense of cunning, that is, saving the world is great, but if it requires a painful sacrifice, it is a bit...
To a certain extent, this is indeed a very selfish idea.
Sonia understands completely.
This woman with lofty goals approved of all Melina’s ideas:
"No problem, I'll see if I can find a way to fulfill your request. By the way, there's something you can help me with."
"Hunting?"
"Oh, my, now and then, would you like to think about whether you can play some of the functions of a girl?"
"..." Melina straightened up, her eyes widened, and her expression became like Cheshire in the frightened Azur Lane, as if to say 'What dirty things are you thinking about', she swallowed He spat, put his hand on his chest, and subconsciously pinched his own money with both arms.
What a huge cost.
Sonia felt that she was good enough just by keeping her face straight.
The Melina she knew in the first week was a woman who had been twisted to a certain extent and was full of pathological hatred for the world. It is said that the reason why Maria was able to open her line was because Lao Ma was completely mentally disturbed at the time. Therefore, Sonia didn't understand Melina's personality at all before she went crazy, and now every move Melina makes is surprising.
Sonia touched her chin, thinking.
It turns out that Xiaomei is the kind of woman who can make dirty jokes after getting acquainted with her? Quite cute.
"That's not it."
Sonia shook her head, "I want you to ask Lao Ma about what she likes and what she wants."
"Um?"
Melina pursed her lips, feeling as if she had entered a world line of 'I like your best friend, could you please find out some information about your best friend?'
"You know, Lao Ma is very awkward. She always preaches the concept of 'the greater the power, the greater the responsibility', instead of 'the greater the power, the greater the responsibility'. She believes that saving the world should be left to Let it be done by those who enjoy the most benefits in this world, not me. But at the same time, she respects me very much,"
"Sounds good."
"She is a doomsday prep freak and likes to keep things at home. However, considering that 'Girls Dormitory' is about to reach its final season, everyone should be more relaxed after that."
Before Melina could taste her words carefully, Sonia said:
"Therefore, she doesn't like to cause trouble for me. Even if she wants something, she won't tell me directly like you, 'I want clothes and an alchemy shop.' So, please use your skills. , ask Lao Ma about what she likes, and the stores opened according to your hobbies should attract banshees who have a common language, right? That’s great, right? You will have more friends."
That's what it says.
Melina could only nod:
"Then I'll try my best? There's nothing I can do if Lao Ma ignores me."
"Don't worry, Lao Ma is just a little awkward. Without you... er, I mean, there's nothing you can't handle, that's all!"
Melina was dubious.
…
Getting things done in Innsmouth went very smoothly.
Although the tall lady-like succubus wearing a little yellow hat said, "It's the off-season for projects now...", Sonia was defeated by her unreasonable "at least get 10% more for doing things for me."
They took out all the engineering clockwork cats on the spot and showed them to Sonia.
That team is a very 'cat-sick' team. To put it simply, they only care about money.
Isn't this a coincidence? Suosuo was so poor that she only had money left, so she immediately signed a 40,000 lei contract with this team. She was going to build bridges and roads on the Weeping Peninsula, and by the way, repair her own property in Hamlet Town.
Melina listened curiously as the Engineer Banshee asked her:
"Origin and territory? What is the approximate scope of your land title?"
"Probably about 90 percent of East Hamlet."
The engineer almost fainted on the spot.
Melina almost jumped up in fright.
Although the land in Hamlet is not expensive, it is big! And all the decent houses in Hamlet Town turned out to be Sonia's territory... No wonder I always feel that Hamlet Town is a little richer compared to Raccoon Town and Bright Falls Town (poor guys are also different).
…
After returning to the manor.
Melina found Maria who was writing for National Geographic.
She was wearing a sexy suspender pajamas, chewing a pen, and was concentrating on writing the results of rare geological research on the Weeping Peninsula on the manuscript. At the same time, there is also a manuscript written for "Financial and Monetary Circulation Monthly" "On the Principles of Economic Exchange in Primitive Regions and the Symbol of Weakness and Strength in the Purchasing Power of Money" written next to it.
Seeing Melina, she subconsciously lifted the shoulder straps that slid to her shoulders, revealing a pretty, slightly red face.
Melina showed a rare smile in strategy mode, tapped her lips with her finger, and sat down next to Maria. While the other party looked confused, she pretended to take out the manuscript she was writing and put it on the table. The light caught Maria's somewhat relieved and disappointed expression.
This kind of woman is so easy to handle!
