Chapter 57: Sister Bai’s Unexpected Visit
At this moment, I was immersed in the joy of receiving my salary and couldn’t wait to try the Witch Meditation Method.
The books on meditation naturally mentioned that only with powerful mental power could one interfere with high-energy magic, but extraordinary energy isn’t limited to just magic.
Before entering the Witch Academy, I had never heard of such a power as magic.
The theories of magic and elements I studied before only involved “elemental power” and “spirit,” among other extraordinary energies.
Is my mental power unable to use magic and other energies?
Magic doesn’t necessarily need magic power to be activated; it’s just a pity that aside from that magic source, I have no other forms of energy stored in my body, and I don’t know if it’s possible.
However, with my current mental power, it’s absolutely not sufficient. My mental power is so weak that it can barely interfere with the energy drifting in the air.
Moreover, it’s only through the perspective of Spirit Vision that I can see my mental power actually interfering with that energy; in a macro state, it can’t produce any visible effects in the reality of the surface world.
I have to admit that my mental power is rather pitifully weak, but compared to my previous life, the existence of mental power itself was an extraordinary means I could hardly have imagined.
Although the theoretical meditation methods I know currently are indeed quite rubbish, I cannot deny their efficacy; at least they allow me to experience the existence of mental power, right?
But if I want to enhance my mental power, my current meditation methods are no longer enough, so I can only rely on the Witch Meditation Method to strengthen my mental power. Whether it’s refining mental power threads or increasing the amount of mental power, it’s all an improvement for me.
Just when I was feeling aimless, this deserted bakery finally welcomed its customer.
“Welcome… um, Sister Bai?” I instinctively began to welcome the guest when I suddenly realized the person entering was none other than Bai Yu, my Sister Bai.
“What? Not welcome?” Sister Bai asked with a smile.
“Of course not! How could I not welcome you?” I replied, smiling, and I wasn’t particularly surprised by Sister Bai’s arrival.
Because when the academy was invaded, Sister Bai learned that I was working here part-time, so this was already her second visit after that incident.
It felt like my presence in the bakery would soon create another regular customer.
“Just glad you welcome me. I thought you might be annoyed,” Sister Bai said.
“How could I be annoyed? But you really don’t need to come here so frequently; I’ve never seen you like cake or bread that much before,” I hurriedly explained, mostly hoping Sister Bai wouldn’t spend too much running here.
Last time she came, she bought quite a lot of desserts and cookies to take back, which certainly isn’t something that can be finished in just a day or two.
Plus, my job doesn’t focus on performance, so spending money unnecessarily is not good.
“Xiao Han, you’re an employee here, how can you advise customers to come less?” Sister Bai obviously feigned innocence and wouldn’t listen.
“Let me introduce you to these desserts and recommend a few. As long as they are ones you recommend, I’ll buy them all!”
“Uh…”
I looked a bit helplessly at Sister Bai. Although I indeed learned some baking techniques with Senior Tang Yihan recently, it’s only been a few days, and I didn’t learn much. How would I know how to introduce those finished products that Senior Tang Yihan creatively made?
Those are items that went through countless selections to ensure they had decent taste, a good appearance, and wouldn’t be toxic.
There aren’t many ordinary little cookies or cakes here, and they don’t really have any unique selling points; they’re just for show.
“Is it so hard? Then… do you have any of your works here?” Sister Bai asked expectantly.
“My…”
I glanced nervously at a certain display case in the corner. There were indeed some, but they were just very ordinary little cookies, barely presentable, placed in the corner as freebies, and I hadn’t packaged them yet.
“Then that means you do have some?”
“I do, but they are freebies, and I haven’t packaged them yet.” Since it was pointed out, I had to admit it.
“What do I have to buy to get them?” Bai Yu’s objective was obvious; she wanted the little cookies I made by hand.
“Actually, it’s nothing much. If Sister Bai wants them, I can help you pack a bit.” I stood up, preparing to go over there.
After all, they were freebies, and my senior allowed me to manage them as I wished. I have to say, I feel like this bakery is practically doing charity.
It’s as if these items aren’t made with money spent on raw materials. Previously, a new student who was abducted passed by here and was broke, unable to buy anything. In the end, Senior Ying Shiqian forcefully dragged them in and gifted them a little cookie.
That’s right; that little cookie was also my masterpiece.
I have this lingering feeling that if this continues, I’ll become a cookie mogul.
But there’s nothing I can do; after all, little cookies were the simplest items to try when first getting into baking.
I stood up and took a bag to start packing; these plastic bags are meant for packing freebies, and after tying them, I’ll stick a label that says “Freebie.”
“Here, Sister Bai, this is yours.” After handing it over, I continued to pack, since I figured I might as well get everything done in one go and save time tomorrow.
“Well, I won’t be polite then~” Sister Bai took it and smiled, a hint of delight showing on her face, then she carefully put it away.
“It’s nothing, Sister Bai. You didn’t come here today just to buy a few things like last time, right?”
“Of course not. I also came to see you, to check how you’re doing, and to see if you need my assistance.”
“Don’t worry; how could I need to worry about such things?” I felt my face flush when I said this. After all, Sister Bai saying she specifically came to see me felt somewhat overstepping.
It seems Sister Bai’s concern for me is higher than I imagined.
“If I don’t need to worry, does that mean you’re doing well? You shouldn’t be encountering any difficulties, right? If you do, just let me know. You haven’t contacted me proactively these past few days.”
“I know~ Sister Bai, when did you start sounding like a… um…”
“Like what?” Bai Yu interjected, but her face also appeared somewhat unnatural regarding this question.
“Just like a girlfriend. Wasn’t I just like this before?”
“I… I’m just concerned, after all, you had your family with you at home, but now you only know me, so I naturally need to care a bit.” Bai Yu hurriedly explained, especially when she heard the term “girlfriend,” a slight panic crossed her face.
“Don’t you know what my relationship with my family is? I can’t wait to be a bit freer. I’d rather be grateful that Sister Bai carried me out of that suffering~” I said with a smile. I honestly meant it. If I didn’t leave soon, I might directly run into those folks from the Inferior Demon Academy, and who knows what trouble that might bring.
