Chapter 549 110 Festival Warm-up_4
In this mode of production, the most valuable thing naturally becomes the Magic Technique itself, followed by the technology of how to package and encapsulate the Magic Technique—namely what people call Magic Tools, and then the capability to produce these Magic Tools. Next come the secondary and tertiary industries as defined by the Material Realm.
Creating or improving a Magic Technique is difficult, a feat only possible for the most talented Magicians; inventing or integrating Magic Tools is also not easy, and this can be achieved only by an extremely experienced and skilled Magic Guide Craftsman team; as for producing Magic Tools, that is probably the job with the lowest barrier, only requiring a Magician of a level higher than a novice to independently undertake production. Therefore, the streets and alleys of Luennolay are never without the presence of Magic Tool Stores.
The majority of citizens' career choices tend to lean towards creative or experiential labor, with family workshops being quite popular. This flexible employment model makes time management exhibit a strong personal characteristic—when a few people can complete the production with the help of a Magic Technique, the line between workdays and holidays naturally dissolves.
Thus, no matter the day, it seems like someone is always working in the Kingdom, and at the same time, every day seems like a festival. This, in this Queen's Year, is further amplified.
This conclusion is drawn because Lin Xiaolu, guided by her journey of tasting chocolate samples, has eaten herself into a daze.
Since they left the reception at the Exam Institute and began wandering around the Magic-free Zone, they have almost never stopped indulging in eating, drinking, and merrymaking. Besides stopping for various interesting Magic Tool Stores, pet stores, toy shops, and even Fairy specialty service shops, numerous snack shops along the streets kept stuffing goodies into their hands.
For some reason, these shops seem to all be selling chocolate today.
It was mentioned earlier that in the Magic Kingdom, the production of food raw materials becomes exceptionally simple due to Magic Tools, even relatively coarse foods can be processed with these tools. Thus, opening a good snack shop or restaurant in Luennolay is particularly challenging.
Or in other words, the competition among snack shops here is very fierce and intense.
Merely learning the craft, exploring flavors, and developing secret recipes is not enough; nearly every snack shop that can establish itself in Luennolay has its own unique skill. To ensure their business thrives and stabilizes, shop owners spare no effort in offering samples and tastings to customers while making their service impeccable and welcoming.
Therefore, when they all promote chocolate, Lin Xiaolu, as a passing "customer", naturally ends up numb from eating only chocolate.
Each shop is delicious, each has its unique features, and each makes her want to place an order… but Xia Liang always stops her at that moment, then forcibly drags Lin Xiaolu away like a parent pulling a child.
This behavior pattern is repeated until it finally ends in front of a dessert restaurant.
No other reason, but because this time, even Xia Liang was conquered by the chocolate from this shop.
The perfect sweetness, the melt-in-your-mouth experience, the thick yet non-sticky texture, and the complex yet precise flavor mingled with various nuts and fruits… it can be said that when the three girls tasted the first bite of chocolate, their fate of buying a serving was already sealed.
"How is it? Do you like this flavor? If not, we also have five other flavors to choose from, two of which are new ones our master introduced this year."
Seeing the girls' intrigued expressions, the shop assistant promptly began their pitch: "If you want a more festive atmosphere, you can also hand-make it yourself, we have the respective Magic Guiding Set available here, and also the raw material packs, guaranteed to taste exactly like what is sold here, and you can even shape it as you wish!"
"What holiday?" This was Xia Liang's reaction.
"What Magic Guiding Set?" This was Lin Xiaolu's reaction.
"What flavor?" This was Bai Jingxuan's reaction.
"Um... the one you're tasting now is our Fruit Fragrance Mix flavor, we also have Classic Royal flavor, Fairy Secret Recipe flavor, Classic Era flavor… The Magic Guiding Set is our store's custom Magic dessert tool, just pour the corresponding raw material pack into it, and it will help you make the dessert according to a pre-set process, it's like you are handcrafting it yourself."
Despite being bombarded with three questions at once, the shop assistant did not change their expression, expertly responding to the three questions one by one: "As for the holiday, it's of course Valentine's Day."
"What is Valentine's Day?"
This then drew the attention of all three girls.
"Oh, you don't know? Ah, are you travelers from the Material Realm?"
After a brief moment of surprise, the shop assistant swiftly adjusted their expression, displaying their professional expertise:
"It's a traditional holiday in our Magic Kingdom, it's tomorrow. During that time, girls can give chocolate as gifts to someone they like to subtly express their feelings, or even among friends to reciprocate for the care throughout the year, both are fine!"
"Give chocolate..." Bai Jingxuan murmured.
"To someone you like..." Xia Liang touched her lips.
"To express feelings..." Lin Xiaolu blinked.
They fell silent together.
And then, just as the shop assistant thought they needed to discuss, so they turned around to tidy up the tasting samples, they suddenly found themselves surrounded.
"Excuse me, could you please explain more about Valentine's Day in detail?" As the communicator among the three, Xia Liang stood in front of the shop assistant, smiling as she asked.
Aside from her, the other two girls also stood imposingly on either side, nodding in agreement.
What do you think?
