The villain daughter did all kinds of things

In the original game, Yulia never received any reward for her helpfulness, and often even lost money herself.

In the early stages, her main source of income came from farming monsters and selling materials. Even later, when she had Amelie, the daughter of a wealthy family, as her ATM, she rarely used her money.

It was precisely because she had always lived a relatively impoverished life that Yulia was able to clearly understand the needs of the lower classes and the true state of society. She was not misled by the sweet talk of the powerful and wealthy and always maintained a very high moral standard.

But Emily disliked Julia, who was like a moral saint, and found her difficult to control.

It's impossible to directly corrupt Julia into a person who craves pleasure and vanity; Emerald's plan is to proceed step by step.

The box of money the team leader gave Yulia was the first step in making her realize that helping others could also earn money, and a lot of money at that. This would subconsciously connect helping others with making money, just like how the animals in the Blue Star Zoo associate humans with food.

With a legitimate income, who wouldn't want to live a better life?

Yulia has only just entered society and hasn't had a chance to experience the hardships of life yet. Once she has gradually experienced the enjoyment of high-end consumption, will someone whose palate has been spoiled by fine food still be able to eat coarse grains?

This is just the first step. Emerald will have many more plans to gradually influence and change Julia, eventually turning her into a plaything that belongs only to her.

After Yulia made a considerable amount of money this time, Emerald immediately followed up with another attack.

Under Emery's secret instruction, on the same day, a female classmate of Yulia's from the Magic Engineering Academy invited Yulia to some high-end places to have fun.

If it were the old Yulia, she would have refused without even thinking, because she didn't have the money and couldn't afford to go to those places.

But the 60,000+ Luns she just acquired is enough for Julia to play around with for a while.

As a young person who has only been in the workforce for a few days, who hasn't dreamed of those luxurious entertainment venues?

Yulia is helpful and morally upright, but that doesn't conflict with her desire to broaden her horizons by visiting luxurious entertainment venues.

She agreed.

Chapter 34 Emerald's Series of Schemes (Part 5)

If you want to go to high-end places, you have to dress decently. At the very least, cheap dresses that cost tens of dollars a piece are definitely not acceptable, and Yulia understands this.

What girl doesn't want to wear some pretty clothes? It was one thing to not have money before, but now that she had over 60,000 rons, a huge sum for a poor student, Yulia went straight to the largest shopping mall in Locke City without much hesitation.

For the first time in a long time, she didn't haggle with the shop assistant while shopping, and quite readily spent over 3000 rupees to buy a black evening gown.

Of course, a gown costing over 3000 rons is still among the cheapest gowns available, but it's still enough to get into high-end entertainment venues.

After buying suitable clothes, you'll need jewelry to match the dress, right? Yulia agreed, so after being persuaded by the sales assistant, she spent nearly 2000 rons on a necklace and a pair of earrings.

The necklace and earrings are among the cheapest pieces of jewelry, but the only cheap part is the raw materials; the workmanship is still quite good, and they match the black evening gown that Yulia chose very well.

Although she felt a pang of regret for spending 5000 Luns at once, seeing her own charm value increase by at least 30% in the mirror made Yulia feel less bad.

I look quite like a rich young lady now, no less so than that perverted pink-haired peeping Tom.

snort!

Yulia was a beautiful blonde with blue eyes and a curvaceous figure, so much so that when she was looking for a job, it was hard for people to notice her talent. Everyone was attracted by her beauty and couldn't think of anything else.

Now that she's dressed up nicely, aside from her movements and demeanor not being ladylike enough, she certainly has the ability to vie for attention at a banquet.

Unfortunately, there were no banquets hosted by the powerful and wealthy in Locke City tonight; Julia and her classmates went to a high-end club instead.

Considering it was Julia's first time in such a place, Amelie instructed Julia's classmates not to take her to any of the more exciting establishments. This particular place simply offered upscale cuisine and a few relaxing after-dinner games.

As the exquisite dishes were served one by one and introduced by the waitress, Yulia was both amazed and somewhat dumbfounded.

Not to mention the various kinds of delicious meats, Yulia couldn't name any of the animals, and many of them were things she had never even heard of before.

When several small bowls of white, strip-shaped food with a rich aroma of meat broth were served, Yulia breathed a sigh of relief—finally, there was a food she recognized! This was chicken noodle soup! Although the broth was probably not ordinary chicken soup, it was probably similar.

However, as the waitress explained, Yulia was speechless again.

What looks like noodles is not noodles at all. It is the most tender and juicy tendon from the back of a certain sturgeon. It is a tendon that has been specially cooked to absorb all the essence of the sturgeon. You could say that a small bowl of this chicken noodle soup-like dish requires the consumption of several sturgeon.

After the waitress finished introducing all the dishes, Yulia was the first to try the sturgeon tendon, which looked a lot like chicken noodle soup.

The taste and texture were truly superb. The sturgeon tendons were so crisp they seemed to be teasing the tongue, and the seasonings included high-end spices that Yulia had never tasted before. The ultimate culinary experience made Yulia's face flush with excitement after just a few bites, and she could hardly pull her tongue back out of her mouth.

After slurping down a small bowl of sturgeon tendons, Yulia no longer cared about the elegant eating posture of a beautiful young lady and continued to enjoy the other delicacies.

Although the seasonings for various meat dishes are relatively light, unlike street food which uses so many spices, the deliciousness of the meat itself is incomparable to that of ordinary chicken and beef.

If the crisp texture of sturgeon tendons is like teasing the tongue, then these meat dishes are like giving the tongue a full massage. Yulia felt so comfortable that her cheeks were a little sore, and her tongue stretched out as much as possible to maximize the contact area with the delicious food in her mouth, not wanting to waste a single bit.

Not only that, some meats also contain magic, though in small amounts. But for someone like Yulia who can become stronger simply by absorbing magic, it still works. She quickly felt a surge of heat flowing from her abdomen to her whole body, every cell feeling as if she were soaking in a hot spring in the dead of winter, so comfortable that she almost cried out.

After enjoying a delicious meal, the waitress brought out the fruit that was served after the meal.

It's a fruit that looks a lot like an apple, but its peel is pink and it smells like a light milky aroma.

Yulia picked up a fruit and took a bite. She immediately felt that the flesh was incredibly sweet and juicy, like fresh milk. The juice instantly filled her mouth, making her eyes slightly glazed over.

Then the waitress's voice rang out as she introduced the fruit. Sure enough, these were no ordinary apples, but imported fruits from the Elf Kingdom. They were a rare variety cultivated by a certain Elf noble using a family secret method. The annual production was limited, and often there was no market for them even when they were available. Those who were able to eat them today were considered lucky.

Of course, the guests at other tables weren't so lucky. This upscale store in a third-tier city had a hard time sourcing this kind of fruit. The fruit at Julia's table was actually all provided by Amelie.

However, the waitress certainly wouldn't tell the truth; she just repeatedly emphasized how precious these fruits were, saying that the price of just one was enough to buy a whole truckload of ordinary apples.

Yulia enjoyed her meal, but a sense of unease crept in as she listened—was her tens of thousands of Rons really enough to pay for the meal? Would she be forced to stay and wash dishes to pay off her debts? Or even wear revealing clothes to entertain guests? No way!

However, Yulia quickly came to a change of heart. She was a mage now, after all. If all else failed, she could just buy on credit and work hard to pay off the debt. Mages still had that kind of credibility in the Federation.

Yulia relaxed and continued to enjoy the food.

Finally, after a satisfying meal, it was time for some relaxing games.

Yulia's classmates gave her a mysterious smile and told her to be careful when setting the device, and to choose a size and intensity that suits her body so that she can relax properly.

Yulia was completely confused and could only laugh it off as she was led into a room by the waitress.

The room was small, only about 10 square meters, and the layout was similar to that of a hotel bathroom.

However, that thing that looked like a single bathtub was clearly a magical artifact, engraved with rather complex magical runes. Yulia examined it for a moment and recognized it as probably a high-end composite spell of the mental type, the effect of which seemed to be to allow one to customize dreams.

Chapter 35 Emerald's Series of Schemes (Part Six)

Just relaxing in a customized dream? That's fine.

Yulia breathed a sigh of relief. The girls' comments were so strange that she thought the store might offer services that children shouldn't see.

Although Yulia is now an adult, she hasn't become a real adult yet and is still very shy about that kind of thing, and doesn't want to use her virginity in such a place.

But it's just a dream, so it's fine. As a girl still in her adolescence, Yulia has had those kinds of dreams before... although unlike her female classmates, her dreams never feature handsome guys, but rather strange things. There are all sorts of beautiful girls, and even monsters.

But it's okay if it's just a dream.

With this in mind, Yulia decided to get into the bathtub and enjoy herself, but she found that the green water in the bathtub was also quite special.

It wasn't water at all, but a green liquid gel with a slime-like texture.

"this is?"

This was beyond Yulia's comprehension, so she could only ask the waitress.

"This is also part of a magical artifact; it's a special gel..."

The waitress explained patiently.

Yulia easily understood that the purpose of this gel was to increase the realism of the dream experience.

When a client wraps their entire body in the gel and activates the magic device, the various sensations from the dream will stimulate the skin in reality through the gel, giving the client's body the same sensations.

"It's quite interesting..."

As a graduate of the Magic Engineering Academy, Yulia has always enjoyed researching and experimenting with the functions of various magical devices.

Since it was just a dream anyway, and the waitress was just a woman, Yulia didn't hesitate much. She took off her clothes and soaked herself in the gel. Under the waitress's guidance, she activated the magic device for creating a customized dream.

Soon, Yulia felt her eyelids getting heavy; the magic device's spell was taking effect.

In a daze, Yulia found herself leaving the room and entering a lavishly decorated hall.

In the center of the hall is a crystal screen with many options on it, which appear to be operable by touch.

"Pah! They have no shame!"

Yulia glanced at it for a few moments and immediately understood what the female classmates meant.

The most frequently used feature of this dream customization is to create a beautiful woman or handsome man to have a sweet date with the user in the dream and enjoy intimate moments.

Those female classmates are probably having fun with their favorite virtual boyfriends right now.

Although this service is more expensive than the live services offered in brothels, it is just a dream after all. It is suitable for people who want to seek excitement but are also chaste. They don't have to worry about getting into emotional entanglements or getting hurt. Yulia doesn't have any aversion to it.

She was caught in a dilemma.

What kind of dream should she create to enjoy?

Want to create a handsome guy like your classmates and go on a sweet date?

...That's impossible.

Yulia immediately dismissed the idea after just a thought. Although she didn't consider herself a virgin, she wasn't interested in men either.

In her previous dreams, Yulia had never dreamed of a man. Deep down, she seemed to think that even monsters were more suitable as dating partners than men.

How about creating a cute girl for a date?

This time, Yulia hesitated for a longer time, but still rejected the idea.

While her previous dreams of being close to beautiful girls were quite nice, Yulia only thought that she liked making friends, not being intimate, and that wasn't appropriate.

Creating handsome men or beautiful girls doesn't really suit you, so what can you do? You can't exactly create a monster for a date, can you?

...Wait a minute, a monster?

Yulia suddenly had a brilliant idea and quickly went to operate the control panel, only to find that the Dream Customization Service actually had an option to create monsters.

Not only do they have them, but they also have a wide variety of species. The shop has already set the parameters for you, and most of the monsters that are recorded in the Federation can be generated with one click.

Yulia swiped her finger across the screen a few times to search, and quickly found her target.

Hammer-armored Beast.

Yulia was actually somewhat unwilling to accept the battle that had taken place during the day.

She could clearly sense that her raw strength was definitely greater than that of the Hammer Armored Beast. It was only because she lacked combat experience that she was unable to defeat the Hammer Armored Beast on her own and even suffered quite a few setbacks. In the end, she was able to repel the Hammer Armored Beast with the help of the caravan guards.

The team leader also told Yulia that the Hammer Armored Beast was a very vengeful monster and might come to take revenge on her.

In other words, there is a high probability that Yulia will face the Hammer Armored Beast again, and this time she may not have teammates to help her; she will have to fight alone.

Will you win?

Recalling the battle that took place during the day, Yulia lacked confidence.

After all, she has only been a mage for a very short time, and her way of helping others is not through combat. She has very little combat experience, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that today is her first battle.

If the Hammer Armor Beast comes to take revenge on her tomorrow, or even harms others in front of her, is she capable of stopping it?

After thinking it over carefully, Yulia had to admit that she was not very confident.

That being the case...

Yulia looked at the control interface of the customized dream again.

This service doesn't seem to be just for enjoyment; it can also be used for training, right?

Soon, Yulia made up her mind and created a HammerBeast directly in her dream, with all its parameters exactly the same as the real HammerBeast.

"This is what a truly satisfying post-meal workout should be like!"

Seeing the monster charging towards her as soon as it spawned, Yulia burst into laughter and charged forward without flinching:

"Sweet dates and intimate moments are definitely not for me! Come on, let's continue our epic battle in our dreams for another 300 rounds, you monster!"

Combat experience isn't something you can gain overnight.

Even though she had already fought HammerBeast during the day, in the dream, when they fought one-on-one, Yulia was initially beaten badly by HammerBeast... even though she was stronger in terms of raw power.

However, being chosen by Uri's legacy and becoming the heroine of the original game, Yulia's combat talent is definitely not weak.

Since being beaten in a dream only causes pain and not real injury, Yulia showed no mercy to herself during the battle, turning all the pain she felt into self-improvement.

For the first 40 minutes, Yulia was at a disadvantage on one side. But after more than half an hour, Yulia was able to fight back and forth with the Hammer Armor Beast.

After about two hours, Yulia seized the opportunity, first knocking the Hammer Armored Beast into the air from below, then flying up and slamming it into its soft belly, achieving the first kill.

When the 3-hour dream customization service ended, Yulia had already killed the third Hammerbeast and was sitting on the ground resting and summarizing her battle results.

"How much...how much!?"
