"【Egg of the Overlord】Imitation Version..."
This is the largest open-air market in the port of Saint Gloria—it has the atmosphere and characteristics of a novel protagonist who, just starting out, manages to find a bargain!
So, Boss Luo brought his maid along for a little experience—since they were already there, and it seemed like they hadn't had a proper shopping trip with the maid lately…
First Mate Jack... oh, Sailor Jack was originally planning to follow along and serve, to make a good impression—but he's been ordered to clean up the Black Pearl!
He was using his hard work to make up for the shortfall in maintenance funds—so, right now he was wiping down the deck of the Black Pearl, and he was probably... working really hard, wasn't he?
……
"This open-air market feels pretty much like a regular flea market." Boss Luo strolled around the stalls with interest—this was indeed his first time visiting this gateway port of the [Void Sea], so everything was new and exciting.
The main reason is that there is a huge flow of people here, with immortals from the four sides of the void constantly entering.
“Even the Void Immortals were originally people living in small worlds,” the maid said softly. “Although different world civilizations are different, trade is the only thing that runs through all spiritual civilizations.”
Boss Luo nodded, casually picked up a uniquely designed bracelet from an old lady's stall, and then directly lifted the maid's hand and put it on her wrist.
"Sir, five people have shown interest in this bracelet today, but your female companion looks the best in it! This bracelet has been blessed by the Queen of the Stars. In addition to its protective capabilities, it can also bring good luck to your loved one. The price is negotiable!"
...This is obviously just boasting.
The bracelet is just an ordinary bracelet—of course, in any small world, it would be considered a fine piece.
"How are you feeling?" Boss Luo asked with a smile.
"It suits you perfectly." The maid only had eyes for him.
I didn't really negotiate the price with the old lady; I just bought the bracelet after getting a 20% discount... It was such a trivial thing.
Then, Boss Luo and the maid continued their stroll and left.
The old woman didn't pay much attention to it—but a little while later, a customer who was completely covered up came to the great-grandmother's stall.
"Wha...what? You're going to buy everything I have here?!"
"Stop talking nonsense, are you selling or not? If you are, give me a price!"
"Sell! Of course I'll sell!!" The old woman took a deep breath, then cautiously asked, "This... sir, may I ask... is there anything special about my stall?"
The old woman was still cautious.
Because news often comes out here about some newbie who manages to snag a great bargain—which, of course, is like a nightmare for the stall owner who gets the bargain.
However, she had carefully inspected every item sold at her stall, and there shouldn't be any hidden gems among them...
"Why so many questions? If you're not going to sell, I'm leaving."
"No, no! I'll calculate the price right away!"
Then, the mysterious customer waved his hand and collected everything on the stall, casually tossing down a crystal payment card officially issued by Saint Gloria Port, and said indifferently, "Remember this, and speak more in the future!"
"Huh? Oh... okay!"
—Could it be the couple who just bought the bracelet?!
……
……
A huge golden airship slowly passed by in the sky, scattering a large number of promotional leaflets.
Boss Luo casually took one.
The flyer featured a woman with long blonde hair and an almost perfect face—it was a promotional flyer for a concert.
"【Galactic Fairy】, Sheryl!"
"Oh my god, she actually came to Port Saint Gloria, and she's even holding a concert! How sudden!!"
"No way... I have to go grab tickets! Judging from past patterns, the damn scalpers have already snapped them all up in less than an hour after the announcement... Bro, can you keep an eye on my stall for me!"
"Given my thirty years of living together with Lady Sheryl, surely she'd leave me a ticket, right? Even though I sleep in the bed and she sleeps on the wall! But I've fired my fair share of shots at the wall!"
"Pervert!! Beat him up!!"
The crowd immediately became agitated, and a group of people grabbed weapons and swarmed toward the person who made the inappropriate remarks.
Boss Luo blinked, then glanced at the woman's image on the flyer. "It seems this 'Galaxy Fairy' has quite a bit of influence... Youye, do you know her?"
The maid's smile remained unchanged, and her voice was still as pleasant as ever, "Master, are you interested in her?"
Boss Luo was taken aback. Generally speaking, maids rarely asked questions like this. He smiled and said, "It seems you know her... She's also a customer of the shop? If I remember correctly, I seem to have encountered this lady's album at [Red King's Tomb].
Although every transaction is recorded, the store's transaction volume is enormous, especially under the previous store manager, who practically accepted every customer.
Although Boss Luo had a habit of keeping detailed accounts, it was only in the early stages... Later on, he lost much of his interest.
The maid gently smoothed her hair. "I wouldn't say I know her, but she does know me... If I remember correctly, she could be considered one of my employees, right?"
Boss Luo showed a slight look of surprise, "Your employee?"
The maid nodded: "The Void Bank has many businesses. The company that this Galaxy Fairy works for is owned by the Void Bank, and I hold some shares in the Void Bank... that's roughly the relationship."
"It's really just a very ordinary relationship."
Back when we were at the Crimson King's Tomb, the maid probably only had a vague impression of the Galactic Fairy?
Boss Luo smiled... It seemed he never had a clear idea of how wealthy the maid was.
“If Master is interested, I can have the Void Bank arrange for her to come over,” the maid suddenly said. “She probably wouldn’t dare to refuse.”
Feeling a bit cheated, Boss Luo chuckled and casually said, "A deliberate arrangement would be boring."
The maid smiled slightly... It doesn't matter. If the master doesn't like things to be done deliberately, then...
— Fate will probably intervene.
—If the master even for a fleeting moment has such a thought…
Boss Luo casually placed the flyer he was holding on the table of the stall next to him, then took the hand of the maid and continued the day trip to St. Gloria Port.
—Holding hands tightly.
"Would you like some ice cream?"
"Okay."
……
……
【Saint Gloria】port, currently the most luxurious hotel in the port... in the top-floor luxury suite.
From here, one can see the golden airship dropping leaflets towards the port... On the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, the [Galaxy Fairy], who was holding a giant plush toy, couldn't help but frown.
"Isn't what they're doing a bit too much?"
"How could that be? Didn't you see how excited everyone was?" The assistant, dressed in a blazer, wearing round glasses, and with her hair in a bun, smiled and said, "The [Galaxy Fairy] has descended upon [Saint Gloria] Port! It can get any more exaggerated!"
“A galactic fairy?” Sheryl shook her head. “In the end, she’s just a songstress who pleases important people.”
"Miss, don't say things like that..." the assistant quickly said, "Although the hotel's security is very high... there might still be some powerful guys! Those virtual reporters are practically everywhere!"
Sherry said dismissively, "Don't worry, I have no intention of giving up this kind of life. There's nothing wrong with pleasing important people... I'm fine with them wanting me, as long as they can afford the price. Anyway, in the end, we can't escape this fate, can we?"
After saying that, the incredibly popular singer slowly stretched out her long leg and gently placed it on her assistant's waist, softly lifting the assistant's blazer. "Xizi, do you think I'm beautiful?"
"Beautiful..." The assistant blushed instantly. Even as a woman, she couldn't resist such teasing. Her body stiffened, and she stood up abruptly. "I...I'll check if lunch is ready!"
The assistant, head down, swung her arms wildly like a pendulum as she strode out of the enormous suite… behind her came the enchanting laughter of a fairy.
But a short while later, the assistant, Ms. Xizi, rushed back.
Right now, [Galaxy Fairy] is sprawled on the sofa, idly scrolling through a prop that looks like a mobile phone... let's just call it a mobile phone.
"What's wrong? Has lunch arrived?" she asked without looking up.
"No... Miss, an invitation has arrived." Xi Zi stepped forward quickly and said seriously, "It's an invitation from the son of the governor of Saint Gloria Port, inviting you to dinner tonight!"
Sherry frowned. "Didn't we say we wouldn't accept any invitations during the performance? Didn't the company give us any prior notice?"
"This...this is actually the company's idea," Miss Xizi said helplessly. "I just inquired and found out that the governor's son has a close relationship with one of the company's directors, so he asked this director to come forward and make the arrangements."
"Tsk!" [Galaxy Fairy] immediately showed a look of disgust.
“Just dinner will do,” Miss Xizi quickly said. “There won’t be any unreasonable requests! Don’t worry, the security team will accompany you the whole time! This… this is also part of our job! And I heard that the hotel we’re hosting tonight is a newly opened… a very prestigious hotel, which just finished an unprecedented auction…”
"Alright, alright, it's just a hotel no matter how good it is..." Sherry waved her hand impatiently. "I'll be there on time so the people at the company can rest assured, okay? Where's my lunch? Are you trying to starve me?"
—It's normal for a songstress to have a bit of a temper, right?
The assistant didn't mind. Compared to other celebrities in the company, Shirley's temper was actually quite good!
"I'll go get it for you right away!"
……
As the personal assistant of a super popular fairy, Miss Xizi is also incredibly efficient – in no time, she brought over a sumptuous food cart.
However, when she returned to her room, Sheryl was nowhere to be found.
"Miss! Miss! Where are you? Don't scare me... Please don't play the runaway game, it's not fun! I'll lose my job... Miss!! I have a gambling father, an alcoholic mother, a lazy brother, and a wayward sister!! Please come out, considering all the bad luck I've accumulated! Let's stop playing this game, okay..."
Bang-!
Then, Ms. Xizi felt a heavy blow to the back of her head and lost consciousness.
...Then, Miss Xizi quickly regained consciousness.
When she woke up, she found herself tied to a chair—her Miss Sheryl was applying something to her face.
Miss Xizi panicked immediately, having a very bad feeling. "Miss... what are you trying to do?"
"Don't move around, or it will affect your makeup!" Sheryl said earnestly, "I'm almost done!"
"Makeup... Miss, what are you doing?" Miss Xizi was about to cry.
Then, Miss Shirley smiled and brought over a mirror, placing it in front of Miss Xizi. She said with a grin, "Take a look at the results. My makeup skills are pretty good, aren't they? I used only the most top-of-the-line products from the Void! You got a great deal!"
Miss Xizi's eyes widened immediately.
Because what appeared in the mirror was... the appearance of the [Galaxy Fairy]! It was simply unbelievable makeup artistry!
"Miss...you wouldn't be thinking of..." Miss Xizi actually burst into tears at this moment.
“Yes, just as you thought!” Sherry patted Xizi on the shoulder. “I’m counting on you for tonight’s dinner! You should be happy to have dinner with the son of the governor of St. Gloria Port! You said he’s very handsome, right!”
"I didn't say that!! Miss, please stop messing around!! If we get caught, someone will die!!" Miss Xizi turned pale with fright!
Miss Shirley suddenly leaned close to Xizi, her gaze dark. "Xizi, think about what you just said: your gambling father, your alcoholic mother, your unambitious younger brother, and your wayward younger sister... After all, you don't want to be discovered and lose your job, do you?"
"Are you a devil...?"
"Remember not to give anything away!" Sherry said as she put on her casual clothes, mask, and baseball cap. "But you know me so well, you'll definitely do a good job! Just don't let that young master take advantage of you. Even though it's not me, it'll still feel disgusting... The rest is up to you! Good luck!! I'll ask for a raise for you later!"
"Miss! Miss! Please!! This will really kill someone, waaaaaah..." Miss Xizi cried out, "I really can't fit into your clothes, especially the underwear!!!"
The closed door suddenly opened, and [Galaxy Fairy], not wanting to talk to Miss Xizi, threw a pair of heavy... breast pads at her!
"..."
