Lo Lan-Hill looked at the system’s evaluation. Since the new abilities did not overlap much with her inherent talents, the bonuses were

There were many more sequences like this before, but she didn’t really mind. Her Natural Sequence was mainly used for auxiliary purposes, focusing on production, daily life, and logistics. Combat still relied on the Demon Sequence.

As the saying goes, every skill has its specialty. In the future, when studying magic sequences, dragon sequences, and others, different directions would be chosen. This way, the breadth of abilities could be expanded.

After adjusting and adapting to her new role, looking at the vines and flowers filling the room, she began to worry about how she would explain this to the maids tomorrow.

Finally, after some thought, she used the wind to gather the vines under the cover of night and blew them to a corner of the courtyard, letting them climb and cover the walls as if they had been growing there for a long time, unnoticed by most.

After disguising everything, Lolan Hill flew back to her bedroom balcony and finally fell asleep feeling secure. Although the system relied entirely on personal effort without relying on supernatural power to accumulate wealth, it didn’t mean she couldn’t use supernatural power during this time. As long as her actions weren’t related to the task, she was free to use it.

The next morning, when Lolan Hill woke up and sat in front of the mirror, she discovered that her hair had changed color. It was no longer the dyed golden blond or her original silver, but a light bluish-green.

Does the Extraordinary Sequence come with a transformation effect? She muttered to herself, then took out a bottle of Rainbow Potion and drank it, gradually adjusting her hair and skin tone according to her wishes. Not only did her hair turn golden, but she also made her skin slightly less conspicuous.

She wasn’t sure why her skin was so excessively pale. Even though she could split boulders with her hands, she looked like a pampered young lady who was easy to bully. The demonic beasts and beast-eared people who had witnessed her abilities in the Tixil Mountains wouldn’t underestimate her, but in human society, misunderstandings about her strength could easily arise upon first meeting.

After grooming herself again, she ate a simple breakfast—coconut bread and raspberry juice—and prepared to go out incognito to observe the city and how its people lived. Along the way, she wanted to understand how ordinary people perceived the Callithes Chamber of Commerce.

Serese and Chelsea had been assigned tasks for the day, and they would be busy. In such a large manor, no maid dared to interfere with the young lady.

After dismissing the maids around her, she put on her previous black robe and another set of clothes. With the help of her supernatural abilities, the situation at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters appeared vividly in her mind like a living map, allowing her to easily avoid all personnel. The guards only felt a gust of wind, and in the instant they turned, she slipped through the side door effortlessly.

Silently leaving the chamber of commerce headquarters.

The damp sea breeze slowly blew through the street, the lush foliage rustling in the wind, and the scent of bay leaves wafted from the trees by the roadside.

Lolan Hill walked down the cobblestone street in her gray boots, looking at the exotic architecture. The houses in Hope Lane were mostly built with red bricks, their roofs covered with brown tiles, and the tops of the buildings mostly featured various triangles with relatively large angles, giving the overall impression a softer and more comfortable look, unlike the sharp and towering Gothic style.

Approaching noon, the fierce sunlight shone directly down, and apart from the constant carriages on the street, there weren’t many pedestrians. The shops along the street were not as crowded as they had been when Lolan Hill entered the city that night.

At this moment, a white luxurious carriage stopped by the roadside, and several guards stood beside it. A young lady with fiery red hair stepped down from the carriage.

“Is this the store, Penny?”

“Yes, Miss,” the maid replied somewhat irritably, as if she didn’t take her mistress seriously. Meanwhile, the guards seemed quite used to this.

“Penny, if you don’t work harder, you won’t get your wages this month.”

“I understand, Miss Feng. I have always worked hard. But my salary has always been paid by your father, so you can’t decide it.”

“Penny, my father’s authority will be mine in the future. The future is on my side, so you should listen to me.”

The fiery-haired young lady and her maid chatted as if no one else was around. Although it seemed like a small argument, those who knew them well understood that their master-servant relationship was actually very good, and they didn’t feel constrained by formality.

“I heard that this store can dye fabric into colors like twilight, and I’ve always wanted to make a dress using this gradient red.”

“Miss, I think this is just another deceitful story. Don’t you remember the last few times? That alchemist said the same thing, claiming he was developing new dyeing techniques and took away a lot of your gold coins.”

The chestnut-haired maid whispered a reminder to her mistress, then both of them entered the clothing store.

The sign above the shop door depicted a mermaid silhouette, with the tail part composed of a gradient of white, yellow, orange, red, and purple. Beside it were written the words “Twilight Mermaid.”

Life cannot be given up lightly; try again. From today, I’ll resume double updates until the next application for signing.
