"So, you've finally become a Tier 7 human. Is it time for us to go?" Hana rushed over the moment she heard the news about Clovis' evolution.

"…" Clovis shook his head helplessly. "Your obsession with my unique ability?"

"Hehehe." Hana didn't bother to deny it. "Let's go, let's go! This lady will go with you."

"And now you're talking in the third person…" Clovis sighed. There was really nothing he could do with this personality of hers.

Nevertheless, she meant no harm, so he just agreed. "Fine. Let's go."

Hana nodded vigorously. She waved. "Hi, everyone! Bye, everyone! I am going to leave you guys for a bit."

They were a bit speechless about Hana's behavior as well.

They were about to have dinner, and Hana didn't even bother to eat the dinner first.

"What's with you guys?" Angelia looked confused.

Clovis hadn't shown her Another World Mall, but he had given her the items from Another World Mall.

In the end, Clovis brought Hana to another room before heading to Another World Mall.

It was truly unexpected, but they couldn't really do anything about Hana's character.

"Just ignore them. You'll get used to it." Kanaria shrugged.

"Hana's character aside, she has been helping the group in one way or another. So, just ignore the part where she does as she pleases. It's not like she means any harm." Rin sighed. "And I'm sure going to smack those two for eating my food cold."

"…" Angelia was a bit dumbfounded, but she couldn't do anything with them.

While they were having dinner, Clovis and Hana had arrived at Another World Mall.

[Welcome back, Master, Mistress.]

Blue had been waiting for them at the entrance.

"I'm back, Blue." Hana smirked. "So, can we expect a good store to come out today?"

[I'm sorry, but I have no way of telling you.]

"In any case, let's see Clovis's status first, Blue." Hana requested.

[Understood.]

Blue immediately showed the status.

[Name: Clovis Hacfield]

[Membership: Level 37 (VVIP - 6)]

[Money: 1,084,656,090,600 Otherworld Coins.]

[Item Limit: 50/Visit]

[Visit: 8 (9)/Day]

Clovis had upgraded the visit and the item limit further, but it still left him with a lot of money.

Looking at the amount of money, Hana couldn't help but ask, "It was already over a trillion. The paintings were sold so high at the auction. And the last time we upgraded the mall, it required 75 billion.

"So, this time, it should be 100 billion, right? Doesn't that mean we can actually upgrade it a couple of times?"

Clovis nodded. "Yes. At the same time, I am wondering about adding one more visit this time.

"Right now, we will be staying in the mansion for quite some time. And if we want to progress fast, it's good to buy the food from Another World Mall. It can increase everyone's progress.

"And because all of us, except for Lia, are all Tier 7, we can take advantage of the benefits. To quickly produce more Tier 8 humans, it's good to buy more ingredients.

"However, I have upgraded it quite a lot, and the amount of money it requires now…"

Clovis opened the upgrade panel.

[Item Limit +1]

[Upgrade Cost: 5,000,000,000]

[Visit Limit +1]

[Upgrade Cost: 500,000,000,000]

"500 billion? That's crazy." Hana gasped.

"Well, it can't be helped." Clovis shrugged. "It's the same as getting another 50 items."

"…" Hana looked down, contemplating. "If we increase the visit limit, that means we only have 584 billion. Judging from the pattern that we've seen so far, the upgrade cost for the stores will be 100 billion, 150 billion, and 250 billion.

"That means the total cost will be 500 billion. We will only have 84 billion to spend. It's not much, but it's not small either.

"But that means we can't have a shopping spree." Hana thought hard.

"Well, isn't it better to just upgrade the item limit and upgrade the stores two times? It will be enough to open one service store and one retail store, no?"

"That is true, but… the service store is much more desirable, at least for me." Hana pouted. She had to think of something.

"Ah, right? There is one more way." Hana grinned. "If you give me half a day, I can come up with another 100 billion."

"What are you going to do?" Clovis' eyebrows twitched.

"Hehehe. A secret." Hana licked her lips. "I am definitely going to upgrade your stores three times. We will have a shopping spree tomorrow."

Clovis raised his hand. "All right. You've won! We will do it your way this time."

Hana nodded, satisfied. "Besides, earning money with you is so easy. I guess hiding everything all this time is worth it."

"What are you talking about?" Clovis frowned.

"You know? If you reveal your paintings before you are this famous, those paintings will be useful, but they can probably be sold for up to a few billion, maximum.

"However, by taking advantage of the war between the Hacfield family and the Prophet, you have increased the value of these paintings. Of course, showing the effect to them right away makes so much of a difference.

"And inviting those high-ranking people that represent the countries allows us to jack up the price even further.

"Had you not given the limit, we would have gotten more money. Nevertheless, you revealed the paintings at a perfect time. With your current strength and growth rate, people would think the paintings had something to do with your growth, elevating the value as well.

"And the fact that it was exclusive to your ally brought many benefits that weren't reflected in numbers." Hana winked playfully.

"Well, that's indeed good." Clovis nodded. "So, I guess we have an agreement?"

"Yep. We should upgrade the visit limit first. Then, we can take our time to take a look at the new store one by one."

"Sure." Clovis nodded. "Blue. Upgrade the visit limit."

[Processing.]

[Visit Limit +1]

[-500,000,000,000 Otherworld Coins.]

[Congratulations. Your visit limit has reached 10.]

[You're awarded a special pass.]

"!!!" Clovis and Hana widened their eyes. Did they see it correctly? Did they just get another special pass to invite a person in?
