"Mhmmmm…"
"I want to buy a cauldron."
John had gotten 25,000 points from the lottery and with the lucky necklace, he could probably get more but he didn't buy lottery tickets as he wanted to buy one from the real world and save the system points for now.
After all, it wasn't a sure thing that he would get system points. He could end up with materials that were totally useless to him right now.
"Okay. We can order it online. Tomorrow, OK?"
"Okay."
Lucy's salary was above average but having to take care of John, paying the rent of a apartment in the commercial area of the district, bills would finish pretty much everything. At most, she would save 1,500 - 2,000 spirit coins in a month.
This savings was pretty much equal to that in his last world. John wasn't that stunned when Lucy agreed to him without batting an eyelid. After all, this was who she was.
She wouldn't ask any questions about your decisions. She would help you to her utmost ability and take care of you with a clean heart. John knew she wasn't going to ask him if he was to start pill refining or weapon forging. So, he added, "I will refine some pills. If I can't get a good job with my poor resume, I can just start an online shop to sell pills I make."
As expected, Lucy didn't refute him and said, "Do you need to go to pill refining lessons? I know a few coaching centres with good alchemy masters?"
"I know some things. I think I will be fine.",he said with a smug look.
Lucy pondered for a bit before saying, " I don't remember you knowing alchemy?"
"I do know it. Some guy taught me in middle school. I helped this guy in tattered clothing by giving him some medicine and food and he taught me."
Lucy was a bit skeptical about this cliché story but chose not to pry any further. She said, "If you are going to open an online shop. You can use that attic room as your refining area and I will work overtime to buy you a commercial conveyer belt."
John knew that buying just the cauldron was a lot for her, let alone the commercial conveyer belt. These conveyer belts were like portals used to send objects from one place to another. Any thing placed on it would be sent to the receiver conveyer belt.
Normally, people used the mega sized conveyer belts which was placed in each district. It took a fee for receiving and sending stuff and was managed by the government. Private conveyer belts were only bought by online businesses and rich people that had money to afford it.
The cheapest private conveyer belt cost 30,000 spirit coins. John knew that even if Lucy plunger all her savings into this, she wouldn't be able to buy it. So, John said, "No need. I will get that on my own, if my shop does well. I am doing this to help you, my dear. Not to increase your difficulties."
Lucy tightly wrapped herself around John when she heard this and while nodding her head. John then kissed her lips. He moved his hands to rub her breasts.
'They are still the same. Huge.' ,that is the only thing that he thought in his mind while rubbing her breasts. John then continued kissing her while his hands went downwards, rubbing against her smooth skin in the process.
"Wait." ,Lucy said while stopping the kissing action. Seeing John's puzzled look, she hastily said, "It's not a safe day."
John smiled lightly and said, "Oh." He then resumed kissing like before. He didn't do anything else. He just kissed her while tightly wrapping her in his arms.
The kissing alone lasted for about twenty minutes. After which, both of them had rough breaths and went to sleep while cuddling each other.
Next morning,
John was still asleep while Lucy was getting ready for work. No matter how cheesy or lovable she sounded at home with John, she was a cold and strict boss at work. So, she always went to work on time.
After getting ready, she woke John up and said, "I have already ordered a cauldron and an alchemic fire for you. Go to the public courier service office after 3 PM and show them this receipt." She then handed a receipt to the half awake John.
John remembered something and said, "I have the fire. Cancel it. I just need the cauldron."
Lucy then nodded her head and said, "Okay. The breakfast is ready and is on the dinner table. Be sure to eat it before it gets cold. I also ordered few sets of herbs for you. It is all in that receipt."
"Come home fast." ,John said while getting up to move towards the bathroom. Lucy then left for office with a cheerful smile.
John took a bath and had breakfast. It was 11 AM when he finished doing everything. He still had some free time, so John took out his mobile and started watching videos on YouTube. He watched educational clips which gave him further knowledge about the world and also watched funny clips when he got bored.
It was only 2 PM when he got off the phone and got ready to go to the Public courier service office.
He wore black jeans with a plain white T-shirt. He wore black and white ankle boots. He wore the lucky necklace that was a necklace with a ying yang martial arts design. He also wore a watch on his hand which was a gift from Lucy. Well, everything he wore was a gift from her but this was from this year's Valentine's day.
John was planning on walking to the courier service office, so he set out at 2:30 PM. It would take him about 25 minutes to reach there while taking a stroll and he could wait a few more minutes.
John didn't forget to take the receipt with him. He then slowly walked out the apartment which was on the fifth floor of the ten storied building.
