Universe Infinite Canteen

"Oh, what do they plan to give us?" Ma Lu asked curiously.

"The FC92 Infinite Charm Edition Advanced Portable Automatic Bathing Chamber."

"What?"

"The FC92 Infinite Charm Edition Advanced Portable Automatic Bathing Chamber," Lao Hei repeated, "It's what they plan to use to pay off the remaining bill for their meal. It's a luxury creation freshly released by Creation Technology. It hit the market just two months ago, and it's selling for about 110,000 Star Currency. Unlike the Free State Grey Energy Body, this item is quite sought-after. The purchasing price on the black market is not low; at least 70,000 Star Currency, so those Cosmic Pirates wish we could provide an additional 1,000 butter rolls to make up the difference."

"1,000 butter rolls is no problem," Ma Lu said, "but why do I need an automatic bathing chamber? I already have a very large bathroom in my place now, with a 1.7-meter bathtub, the kind with water jet massage. I shouldn't need a bathing chamber."

Lao Hei didn't say anything in response; she just took a small paper box out of her handbag.

Upon opening it, inside were a row of fridge magnets.

These fridge magnets were all of the magnetic type, but each had a different shape. Lao Hei picked up a magnet with a pattern similar to that of an Ancient Roman Bathhouse and stuck it on the front door.

Then she pulled open the door, and the next moment, a wave of moist air hit them in the face.

Lao Hei made a welcoming gesture, and Ma Lu followed her through the door.

This was supposed to be the outer courtyard of the villa. However, the lawn and the fig tree that had been there were all gone. In their place stood a grand building made of marble, overflowing with arched and columnar structures, adorned with exquisite bas-reliefs and frescoes.

Ma Lu and Lao Hei passed through the archway and entered the marble building, with the most eye-catching feature being the two-thousand-square-meter large open-air bath in the center.

Bubbles continuously rose from the bottom, clearly indicating a hot spring.

The moisture had wafted from here, Ma Lu reached out to touch it, feeling that the temperature was between 36 and 38 degrees Celsius, which was perfect for a bath.

If it weren't for Lao Hei still being by his side, Ma Lu would have wanted to strip down and dive in right there.

Additionally, the bathhouse had various functional areas including changing rooms, cold baths, hot baths, a fitness room, a steam room, a meditation room, and even a game room.

After touring the bathhouse, Lao Hei peeled the fridge magnet off the iron door and replaced it with a castle-style one.

When they pushed the door open again, the bathhouse behind it had turned into a castle.

Vines crawled all over the castle, and a blood moon hung in the sky, giving the place a mysterious look. Inside, there was a soft wool carpet on the floor, and the reception desk had a polite automaton butler.

The butler led them up a staircase that rotated on its own to the second-floor bathroom. He took out his wand and knocked twice on the bathroom door.

The next moment, the stone-carved Ouroboros Serpent on the door loosened its tail and slithered away.

The bathroom door also opened, revealing a pool that emitted a faint green glow.

Water flowed from the mouth of a stone lion at the end of the pool, and there were winged soaps and shower gels dancing above the water.

"Interesting, is it a wizard-style bathroom this time?"

Ma Lu didn't try out each of the fridge magnets, but from their appearance alone, he could guess their themes.

There was the high-tech themed Cyber Bathhouse, the Druid Bath that merged body and soul with nature... and the Enchanting Demon Bathhouse that looked quite thrilling.

All in all, they amply satisfied the demands of various customers.

"If you don't want the FC92 Infinite Charm Edition Advanced Portable Automatic Bathing Chamber, I could also sell it for you."

After the visit, Lao Hei said, "Even on Earth, there should be quite a few people interested in this thing."

"No, no, no, I've changed my mind and decided to keep it," Ma Lu said firmly.

He had been quite satisfied with the large bathroom that came with the villa, but compared to what was inside the refrigerator magnet, it suddenly lost its appeal.

Although if you really talked about practicality, it was just so-so, definitely not as significant as the "Beaver" or the "Phase Shifter," but its emotional value was at its peak.

Besides, Ma Lu wasn't so strapped for cash now, and it was time to treat himself to some luxury.

After all, isn't that what making money is for, to enjoy life?

Although it was indeed seriously expensive.

After settling the meal bill, Lao Hei was about to take her leave, but Ma Lu stopped her, "Wait a second, do you know when those Dimensional Pirates are leaving Earth?"

"Although they didn't say explicitly, they gave me three days to gather the bread rolls, so they should be around Earth for that time," she replied.

"Great, then when you deliver the bread rolls, could you ask if they could give me and a friend a ride?" Ma Lu asked.

"A ride?" Lao Hei blinked.

"Yeah, I plan to take their spaceship to The Moon to check out the situation with the Pink Whale Ship."

Upon hearing that name, Lao Hei's expression became somewhat complicated; perhaps she was reminded of the joyous times when she was a smuggler. After a moment, she said.

"I'll go with you. Although I spend most of my time on Earth and not often on the ship, I still know a fair bit about that spaceship and probably can be of some help."

"Hmm, okay, then three of us," Ma Lu thought for a moment.

He hadn't completely trusted Lao Hei yet. Although they had interacted a few times and Ma Lu had even saved Lao Hei's life, they hadn't known each other for very long.

Additionally, considering Lao Hei's past as a smuggler, Ma Lu was still somewhat wary of her. However, Yan Wu would also be coming along, so it shouldn't be a big issue.

If Lao Hei did try anything, the hardware store owner would be able to subdue her immediately.

After wrapping up his current business, Ma Lu returned to Hou De to continue his role as principal.

In the past week, Cao Youyi had executed all of his arrangements perfectly before he left.

She adjusted the class schedule immediately, setting up a curriculum that focused on physical training and spiritual power cultivation and also introduced some Ancient Method Cultivation Classes.

However, the fast adjustments also had a downside: the faculty couldn't keep up. Despite Cao Youyi placing job ads in the newspaper and personally visiting several candidates she deemed suitable,

the candidates weren't finalized until yesterday. Luckily, Principal Ma returned today, and Cao Youyi had all eight candidates come to the school for interviews.

Among them, three were sports teachers and five were talismanic magic teachers.

But before that, Cao Youyi handed over a list, "Principal Ma, I think these students need to undergo aptitude testing again."

Ma Lu took the list and knew at a glance what was going on—these five must have been the lucky ones who got the 10% chance of sudden enlightenment after drinking "Enlightenment Cola".

This time his luck wasn't bad; 30 bottles of cola had led to 5 people achieving sudden enlightenment, far exceeding the base rate.

Pointing at Qiutong's name on the list, Cao Youyi said, "This student was brought back by you, Principal Ma. I think we need to pay special attention to her.

"She is a freshman, and she learned the Object Retrieval Technique in only two days."
