Dimwit went back to the island with the elves to gather mushrooms.
Gu Wanyin was idly browsing around the store when she reached the bumper car area. She saw Prince polishing his beloved Fourth Egg, while Bruno and Joshua, the siblings, were standing next to the bumper car sales area, discussing something in low voices.
"What are you two up to?" Gu Wanyin walked over and asked.
"Boss Gu," Joshua greeted her, "My brother and I are discussing what color bumper car we should get."
"Have you already saved up enough points?" Gu Wanyin asked in surprise.
It took quite a few points to buy a two-seater bumper car.
"Not yet," Joshua scratched his head embarrassedly, "Although we earned some points from this battle mission, it's still not enough to buy a bumper car. We're just here to pick colors in advance, dreaming a bit."
"I see," Gu Wanyin nodded.
At this moment, Prince, who had finished polishing Fourth Egg, came over to join the conversation.
"If you ask me, you should choose black. It looks cool!"
"I agree," Bruno nodded in approval.
"What's so great about black?" Joshua objected, "I'd say pink is better. It's so cute and sweet!"
Bruno: "Could you consider your brother's feelings a bit..."
Joshua snorted, then turned to Prince with an irritated look, "Janet got pretty badly injured this time. Are you sure you're not going to check on her?"
"Of course I will," Prince said, "I'm going to visit all the injured people from this battle later."
Joshua: "That's not what I meant!"
"Huh?" Prince looked confused, "Then what did you mean?"
Joshua: "...Never mind, forget I said anything."
Then she stormed off angrily.
Prince was completely bewildered and couldn't make heads or tails of it. He couldn't help saying to Bruno: "Your sister is really strange."
Bruno nodded in agreement: "I think so too."
Gu Wanyin's mouth twitched as she listened from the side.
Well, these two dense guys were hopeless.
...
In the afternoon, the little elves returned to the hotel.
This time, each of them brought back a large basket of mushrooms.
Although one mushroom could only be exchanged for ten points,
with this many mushrooms, they could enjoy quite a spending spree at the hotel.
"Boss Gu, you know what? When we were flying back to the hotel, we encountered several vampires!" Dimwit looked still shaken by the experience.
"Really? Did you fight with them?" Gu Wanyin quickly asked.
"No, they didn't seem interested in elf blood, and we had the advantage in numbers. Plus, after I yelled at them a few times, they slunk away," Dimwit said, "You have no idea how terrified I was, but I had to put on a brave face while negotiating with them. What else could I do? I'm the king after all."
Gu Wanyin patted his round head.
Being a king wasn't easy either.
The little elves lined up again to exchange their points.
After the fiftieth elf finished exchanging points, the system's voice rang in Gu Wanyin's head.
"Ding! Congratulations host, mission completed. Rewards: Twenty more plots of super fertile land unlocked; unlimited anti-inflammatory medicine and injury medicine unlocked; one remote snack machine unlocked; host's Lightning Ability upgraded to level five."
"I roughly understand what the remote snack machine is, but is there a maximum distance requirement for this remote snack machine?" Gu Wanyin asked the system in her mind.
