Lumine: My Power Is Back!

Lumine came to the Small Bar, sat down on a Bar Stool, and opened the Touch Screen to browse.

Ye Yun looked at the Touch Screen before him and felt speechless. Back then, he had stupidly copied everything down one item at a time on his phone.

Once the shop opened, the Touch Screen could display all the products.

Sigh... Ye Yun had already deleted every last bit of the product information he had copied down back then.

As Lumine browsed the products, Stelle and March 7th each pulled over a Bar Stool and sat on either side of her to look with her.

Welt and Dan Heng each found a place to either sit or lean against as they watched this side. More precisely, they were watching Lumine.

As for Himeko,

she sat beside Paimon, stretching out a finger now and then to poke Paimon's chubby little cheeks. Himeko found it quite amusing.

Very soon,

Lumine selected the product she wanted.

Unsealing Pill, price: 2,000 Star Coins.

Effect: Can unseal a portion of one's sealed strength.

Lumine's current condition was that her original strength had been sealed away. If this Unsealing Pill truly worked as described, it should allow her to recover some of her power.

Ye Yun looked at the Unsealing Pill, casually summoned a scale, and placed it beside the Touch Screen.

"Do you have any Primogems on you?"

Lumine nodded and pulled out a large handful of Primogems from her pack.

Seeing this, Ye Yun pointed at the scale.

"Put them on there, and you can exchange them for Star Coins."

At his words, Lumine placed the Primogems on one side of the scale.

There were rather a lot of Primogems, and the scale barely managed to hold them all.

A few seconds later, the Primogems vanished completely, while twenty-three 100-denomination Star Coins appeared on the other side of the scale.

Ye Yun took down the 2,300 Star Coins and handed them to Lumine.

"Take them. These are the Star Coins your Primogems just exchanged for.

Judging from the rate, it should be one for ten. One Primogem can be exchanged for ten Star Coins."

March 7th was a little confused.

"Ye Yun, why can those whatever-gems only be exchanged for ten Star Coins, while Stellar Jade can be exchanged for a hundred?"

Ye Yun explained.

"There are countless worlds, and they aren't the same. Each world has a different level, and the value of the unique products within them differs as well.

The more powerful the world, the more Star Coins its unique products can be exchanged for. Smaller worlds are the opposite.

Understand?"

March 7th suddenly understood.

"So that's how it is."

Lumine was not particularly concerned about that right now. All she wanted was to buy this Unsealing Pill.

Who knew how hard it had been for her to survive in the wilderness over the past two months with only the strength of an ordinary person?

If she had not possessed some martial arts skills, she probably would have starved to death in the middle of nowhere long ago.

Ye Yun pointed at the coin slot beside the Touch Screen.

"Select the product you want, then confirm payment, and insert enough Star Coins here.

Stelle, March, remember this too. If you want to buy anything in the future, just do it this way."

Stelle and March 7th both gave an OK gesture to show that they understood.

After Lumine inserted twenty Star Coins, a flash of light passed over the Touch Screen, and a pill appeared in her hand.

Lumine looked at the pill in her hand. It was not very large, only about the size of her pinky finger.

Dan Heng took a cup of water and handed it to Lumine.

"Here."

Lumine accepted it and politely thanked him.

"Thank you."

Dan Heng shook his head to indicate it was nothing, then walked away.

March 7th said to Lumine.

"Dan Heng may look cold on the surface, but he's actually very warmhearted."

Lumine smiled and nodded.

"Mm, I can tell."

Stelle waved a hand.

"Alright, alright, Lumine. Hurry up and eat that little pill to see if it works."

At her words, Lumine swallowed the Unsealing Pill, then took a mouthful of water and gulped it down.

The instant the Unsealing Pill entered her stomach, Lumine suddenly sat up straight and widened her eyes.

At that moment,

she felt that a small portion of the power sealed within her had been unsealed. It was not much, only around one-tenth of her strength at her peak.

Feeling that familiar, long-lost power circulating within her body, Lumine revealed a heartfelt smile.

March 7th anxiously asked.

"How is it? How is it? Did it work, Lumine?"

Hearing March 7th call her, Lumine finally came back to her senses.

"Mm, it worked. A lot of my power has returned."

As she spoke,

Lumine waved a hand, and the Dull Blade appeared in her grasp.

With an angry shout from Lumine, a layer of white light instantly covered the Dull Blade's surface.

Seeing this, Stelle and March 7th clapped their hands. It looked so cool!

Lumine rummaged through her bag, wanting to buy a few more Unsealing Pills.

But as she searched, her expression froze.

Uh... it seemed that she had already used up all her Primogems.

When it rained, it poured. At that very moment, Lumine's stomach rumbled at the worst possible time.

"Grrr~ grrr~"

Lumine instantly turned into a steam engine, her face flushing bright red like a ripe apple.

Seeing this, Ye Yun checked the time.

10:36

"Lumine, do you have anything urgent to do?"

Lumine shook her head in embarrassed frustration, fanning her face rapidly in an attempt to cool it down.

Hearing that,

"Then let's have lunch here today."

As he spoke, Ye Yun looked at Himeko, March 7th, and the others.

"Everyone, stay here for lunch today. My new shop has just opened, so I'll treat you all to a meal to celebrate."

Himeko stopped poking at Paimon, raised her head, and looked at Ye Yun.

"Then we'll trouble you, Ye Yun."

Welt also said,

"Sorry for the trouble."

Ye Yun waved a hand, indicating that it was no big deal.

Dan Heng rolled up his sleeves.

"Is there anything I can help with?"

At that moment, Pom-Pom tugged at Dan Heng's pants.

"Passenger Dan Heng, go rest. I'll help Passenger Ye Yun cook."

After saying that, Pom-Pom headed toward the front of the train to retrieve the essential tool for cooking: the "Stepping Stool"!

Seeing this, Ye Yun said,

"Dan Heng, go rest. Pom-Pom's help will be enough."

Dan Heng did not say anything further. After leaving behind the words that they could call him anytime if they needed help, he went over to the sofa, sat down, and opened a book.

As for Stelle and March 7th, they naturally stayed to eat as well.

Ye Yun called out to Stelle and March 7th.

"Stelle, March, help me keep Lumine company. I'll go make food for you all."

Stelle and March 7th answered with a simultaneous "Oh."

Ye Yun could tell that Lumine was still very nervous and reserved.

Therefore, Ye Yun had Stelle and March 7th play with Lumine so that she could relax a little.

This was a shop, not some frightening or serious place. There was no need for her to be so restrained.

Ye Yun walked into the kitchen, searched the system for the ingredients he wanted, spent a little over fifty Star Coins, and bought a huge pile of ingredients, which he placed on the table.

Ordinary ingredients, daily necessities, and similar items in the system were all very cheap.

Ye Yun looked at the ingredients on the table and thought about what dishes to make today.

After thinking for a while,

Ye Yun decided to make a "simple" eight dishes and one soup. He had studied cooking in his previous life, so preparing a full table of dishes would not be a problem.

Besides, there was still plenty of time. There was an hour and a half before lunch.
