Chapter 195 -172 Freyja extra
“Adela, why did you have to drag me here? I’m in a hurry to get home and catch up on my series. I didn’t even get to see the finale of ‘Mage 100 Percent’ last night—”
“Because East Army won by a narrow margin, so it was a single female lead finale, and they both lived happily ever after.”
“Adela, I haven’t watched it yet!”
“Then you don’t need to watch it now, unless you are with me in the East Army.”
“I’m with the Northeast Alliance…”
Adela raised her eyebrows. ‘Mage 100 Percent’ had four main female leads, and viewers were divided into north, south, east, and west, corresponding to intimate confidante, childhood sweetheart, love at first sight, and energetic playmate. In the finale voting, East Army, West Army, and Four Armies battle occupied the top three spots. Their vote counts were very close, so no one could predict the winner until the last day of the finale.
But regardless, Northeast Alliance was just ridiculous, practically the most niche option possible. Generally, female viewers would choose the single winner ending, right?
Only male viewers would choose a multi-female lead ending, but if they chose multiple, they generally wanted all, not just two…
Noticing Adela’s gaze, Freyja proudly retorted, “Although I know there’s little hope, I can’t help it, I’m just such a hopeless romantic!”

“A hopeless romantic, Meiwa? And you still chose two?”
“I only like these two. I don’t dislike the others, but I won’t force myself to like them!”
While they chatted, the taxi smoothly stopped on the roadside. The human driver in the front pulled out the all-purpose hand from the dashboard. Its slender steel chain fingers extracted a freshly printed receipt from the machine, and Adela immediately took it, scanning the Dharma Seal on the receipt with a chip to complete the payment.
“Have a wonderful evening.”
As the two of them got out, Adela noticed Freyja gazing thoughtfully at the departing taxi and asked with curiosity, “What’s up? You’re not interested in that driver, are you? If you were, you should have asked for his Veil account—”
“No,” Freyja shook her head. “I’m just curious why he would buy a car that requires an all-purpose hand to operate instead of one with a steering wheel… Is the former a bit cheaper, perhaps?”
“You just don’t understand, do you? After all, you’ve never taken a Mechanical Faction course,” Adela laughed. “Driving with an all-purpose hand is more responsive, making it easier to control the vehicle in emergencies. Nowadays, virtually all low-end cars have switched to all-purpose controls, and professional vehicles like taxis, excavators, and construction vehicles have completely eliminated steering wheels. All operators must use the all-purpose hand.”
“The steering wheel is now more or less exclusively for luxury cars, but rich people don’t drive themselves; they hire a driver for that…”
“Does the driver have to have normal hands then, to reflect the luxury status?”
Adela unexpectedly glanced at Freyja, “To come up with such insightful comments, you’ve already ventured into the upper-class way of thinking. I only learned these tidbits from chatting at the casino… Anyway, cheer up, we’re at your favorite place!”
Freyja turned around and saw a six-story building bathed in purple and crimson lights, its name woven from Illusion Technique, shimmering in and out of visibility against the night sky: “Blushing Grass.” People constantly came and went at the entrance, with taxis continually dropping off and picking up, indicating the immense popularity of the venue.
“…Kaimon City’s top-tier leisure center? Spending once here is enough to cover four outings anywhere else…”
“That’s right!” Adela hugged Freyja’s arm as they entered. “Don’t worry about money, I’ve won quite a bit lately. This one’s on me, you just enjoy! Consider it a celebration for finally getting rid of that Charm-smitten lousy man!”
“Aren’t you the one who hates this kind of place?”
“Once in a while is fine, the point is to be here with you. I can’t stand to see you look like a resentful woman all day.”
Freyja touched her own face: “Is it that obvious?”
“In any case, the best way to forget a man isn’t to delete him but to replace him with more men! Come on, this place won’t disappoint you!”
On the first floor, the bath hall had ten entrances, divided according to different genders and races. Guests went to change, get their wristbands, bathe, and optionally enjoy hot springs, saunas, body scrubs, and massages. The second floor held the relaxation halls, with a buffet, tabletop gaming room, card room, bamboo mat room, and a casino, making the first two floors abuzz and vibrant. Even those uninterested in other services could find relaxation here.
Having eaten and drunk their fill, the two headed to the second-floor elevator, greeted by a server who was an undetectable blend of male and female beauty. Dressed in a tight server’s uniform, with a round butt and flat chest, smooth skin, and pupils strangely tinged with pink hearts, they spoke in an androgynous voice, “Which floor would you like to visit?”
“Which floor is for mud coffee?” Adela asked.
“It seems this is your first time here? Crystal Edge doesn’t differentiate its tea and coffee services,” the server smiled lightly, their allure more bone-melting than Freyja’s, “The third floor houses small rooms for customized services, suitable for individual guests or small groups of three or fewer. Guests can leisurely select their preferred mud tea and enjoy the services in a completely soundproof room. If there are any special requests, including but not limited to costume changes, props, or even biological modifications, Crystal Edge will do its utmost to accommodate.”
