Chapter 328: [326] Lady
Looking at the group of four before him, August sighed.
"Thanks for not crashing my moment earlier."
"No problem! But if you really feel indebted, how about treating us tonight?" Stunk chimed in.
"Get lost, Stunk! You're just trying to take advantage of me."
He had done some research on the mermaid charm shops, and the prices were steep. The starting cost for a visit was over three thousand gold coins, with better establishments charging four to five thousand for just one person. With five of them in the group, that would amount to a small fortune.
While August could afford it, the look on Stunk's face—eager to benefit at his expense—made him decline outright. The experience with the snake woman from the Mia tribe still stung; he had spent over three thousand on one outing, only for them to pay a measly four thousand total for this trip.
The four friends settled down, excited after earning a hefty profit from their last adventure.
"August, Stunk and I have scoped out a great place—a mermaid charm shop called 'Deep Sea Paradise,'" Kanchal announced. "It features various sea folk beauties, though mermaids are somewhat scarce."
"'Deep Sea Paradise'? That's an intriguing name, sounds like a water park," August remarked.
"You'd be surprised; it's literally built underwater, with glass walls in the rooms. Lying in bed feels like being at the bottom of the sea," Zel added.
"Wait, have you been there?" August asked.
