Evolving Ghost System: Phantom Universe Expansion Pack - Chapter 35: French Maid in the VIP Section

Harvard used his VIP train ticket for the first time at Central City Train Station.

It was a long silver train with dozen of carts, and the higher up you were in the train the more important of a person you were considered. In the last cart, they also sold rare weapons, armors, and had french maids for each VIP costumer. Their families, on the other hand, had to watch their husbands with french maids. Needless to say, some people also called it a strange experience to ride this train.

Luckily, Harvard had a 10 percent off discount on all the items available in the weapon’s shop and even had a French maid gently brushing off his shirt with a strange pink duster while she rubbed her fingers together. She clearly wanted a tip, and gently leaned over and arched out her back with a smile on her face.

‘Damn it. Another boring shift of pretending I like all men. Now smile, so he gives you a tip.’ Shea smiled and pushed back her black hair while she checked her mascara in the mirror hidden by the window. ‘Good, I look just pretty enough. Cleavage is perfect. He’ll give into me in no time.’

‘I can’t give into temptation. She’s hot, and has nice cleavage, but I can’t fall for it! She probably wants me to think I should give her a tip, but she really doesn’t want one!’ Harvard nodded his head and resolved himself to not spend a Logram unless she explicitly asked for it!

He had learned his lesson from the countless times he almost got killed by NPCs at the oddest of hours. A female had given him a quest to go to her room, and he thought he might as well take the quest and see if she had anything hidden inside! Unfortunately, it was her husband! Why didn’t she tell him first that her husband was interested in men with his women! He was so glad he dodged that bullet and declined the quest!

“Luckily, the train is moving. It seems nice and steady!”

Harvard looked outside at tbe train in the station and then it started to move like a turtle. Perhaps even slower A snail.

“This will be a short ride.”

Swoosh!

It felt like a rocket ship took off and a small baby crashed against the train’s window. A woman steamed “my baby!” while Harvard found the French maid sitting on his lap with her skirt touching against his leather pants. He felt his heart beat faster while he looked at his tea. It was just seconds away from spilling. He gulped and then looked at the French maid’s beautiful golden eyes.

‘Not bad. That’s my cup of tea!’ He smiled at Shea and there was an awkward pause.

He then drank a smal sip of the tea before she spoke, and put it down on the coaster with a smiling face on it.

“It’s the rules. I need to sit down when the train is moving.” Shea smiled and rubbed her hands together while her pink fingernails slightly rubbed closer to Harvard’s traveling bag. She wanted a tip really bad, and didn’t mind taking it without saying please, but Harvard knew what she was doing. She was really just trying to keep herself occupied.

‘She really wants me to think she wants to tip her. However, after what happened at Able Tower. I’d rather die! I’m not tipping an NPC again! That NPC literally gave me a quest to get slapped in the face! I’m not doing it!’

Harvard’s brow twitched in annoyance before he felt Shea’s hand near his pocket. He smacked it away playfully and stared into her eyes like he was staring at a picture of beauty.

“Excuse me, can I ask you why you’re so hot? Is it because of the tea, or is it some type of special technique?” Harvard smiled and picked up his free cup of black tea that had a small white heart created inside of the swirling tea. He stirred it so he’d stop seeing it and looked up at the French Maid. Why did she look so sad.

“I-I can get my own seat, or stay here. Want to tell me about yourself?”

“I couldn’t do that,” Harvard rubbed her shoulders. “I can tell your back hurts from sitting down too much! You should walk!”

“Oh, well, I like getting paid,” The maid smiled and the train started going faster!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A large tunnel appeared and disappeared in the blink of an eye while dozens of small towns disappeared even faster and got replaced by mountains and whatever that large castle to the right was floating in the sky.

“Du Du Du” the maid hummed. “Mmmm, are you hot? I am? This costume is really hot.”

“That’s why you should walk it off!” Harvard cleared his throat. “I-I have to focus! I have to kill 15,000 Menace King Family Protectors! I-I can imagine it will be very difficult.”

“Hoho, then you should hire me to guide you! It’s only 1000 Lograms an hour! We can share a room, but I get my own bed! There is a touching rule! 5 minutes of massage, nothing below the belt, nothing too round. You get it?!”

Harvard smiled and ignored her clearly clever games. Her finge

She was trying to get him to break the rule of giving her a tip! It wasn’t going to happen!

“Your stop is about to come. Please! Please hire me! It’s okay to give me a tip! I know some NPCs don’t like tips, but look at what I’m wearing! I have a wedgie from the stockings, and the underwear underneath combo! Please! Just hire me!”

“Ugh, fine! I accept your offer! Here’s a 10,000 Logram tip!”

“Hohoho! Well then since you’re willing to accept me as your tour guide. How about we start with the massage. I’m going to pull out the hidden curtain so no one can watch this massage, okay? Company secrets are hidden in these hands. You get it?” Shea gently picked up his tea and took a sip with a smile. “If you don’t mind, we can share that too. I really like the tea, but they only give me one cup a day. You can consider that sip payment for all the nice treatment you’re about to get!”

###

[Vitality has increased by +10]

[Your back is now refreshed! Don’t you feel good?]

‘Omg! That massage literally entered the realm of too good to be happening to me in this life time! Haha! I can’t wait for another one!’

“Hoho, Father is getting entertained,” Tabitha smiled and road Donkey down the train while another baby hit another window. “I see she’s keeping you in your seat. However, father, there is an item you need to see!”

“Mmmm, you have children? I’ll give you a 1 percent discount now,” Shea bounced on his leg and bit her pink lips and put her pale finger into her mouth. “Hoho, it looks like I might have to be your maid for a while. You have a lot of Lograms and are good with children and donkeys. What more can a girl that has to work 5 jobs to survive a day ask for?”

“I-I feel like I must get up now.” Harvard decided to pick her up and carry her in her arms. “I-I’m man enough to walk in the train. You woman enough to be carried?”

“What’s happening?” Tabitha asked Donkey?

“They are bonding. He’s trying to get a discount. I know him well.” Donkey talked for some reason, but Tabitha didn’t find it odd.

“Oh, I see. If she likes him, she won’t want money!”

###

“Don’t buy that! That one is more expensive!” She’s eyes glistened when Howard said he’d buy her armor so she didn’t die on tour guiding him! “Wow, you can really afford 100,000 Logram armor? How much are you worth. I mean.” She paused and sounded flirty. “How much are you worth, bad boy.”

“I-I think I will buy you this one!”

[Armor selected]

[Walter’s Cursed Armor] (Stolen)

[Level 30]

[Defense: Good but not that great]

[Walter got robbed by an NPC who is hiding on the train. He might try and rob you too so watch out!]

“Yup, that one!” Harvard bought the armor and looked around. He could use learning from a good thief! “Haha! This is perfect! Stolen goods are the best!” Harvard gave her the armor and then looked around at the other items in the glass jewellery like holding case. It was Sparkly!

[Special item detected!]

[You’ve learned the new skill, Deal Steal!]

[You can now sense underpriced items that can be sold for a killing! Maybe you can make a business sometime when you finally find a guild! Find one already!]

‘Geez, I guess this is one of those legendary learn your self skills.’

Harvard saw a single item with a gold box over it instead of the normal white ones. When he looked at it, it got bigger so he could see the price tag.

“What is it?!” Shea asked. She was sweating waiting for Harvard to see if Harvard would buy her another item! Her heart pounded a little bit faster, faster, and faster!”

“Oh! HOHOHOHOHO! I’m yours if you buy that! Buy it! Buy it!’

“Shhh! Something important is happening,” Tabitha talked to Donkey. “It seems there relationship is getting better.”

“Agreed, she’s giving him all the signs to buy another gift,” Donkey rubbed his head against Tabitha. A mother who found her baby nearby found it a little weird, but breathed a breath of relief. The train ride was almost over!

Harvard then purchased an item!

[You’ve purchased Jam’s Junk Box]

[No one knows what’s inside. For some reason, it can’t be opened for less than 1 million Lograms]

‘I-I failed. I’m a failure at life,’ Harvard tossed the item in his inventory. ‘I failed to realize the train had stopped. It looks like we’re here Donkey.”

“Is that for me?” Shea’s eyes glistened before Harvard said no and left the train.

“Oh,” she muttered. And then a baby hit her in the head from the inertia of the train. “Owww! Why does my like have to suck so bad!” She complained! And then put on her armor, met Harvard by the Donkey, and they went to the most dangerous place in the area.

“Oh God! We’re going to die!”
