Furthermore, different slaves have different prices. Healthy slaves of the same race are generally 20% more expensive than weaker ones. Hoshino Sora also saw the Neko Mata Clan and Morin Spirit Clan in the mall.
The Morin Spirit Clan, as expected of a high-level race, is worth around 5000 Prestige Value, while the Neko Mata Clan appears much cheaper, valued at around one thousand.
However, if they are beings of noble bloodline, like Neko Hare and Neko Ame who are of royal blood, their prices are generally around ten thousand Prestige Value. As for the reason for the high price, the Prestige Value Mall has an explanation.
[Races with high-level bloodlines possess special talents, and the royal bloodline of the Neko Mata Clan has the extremely special talent of Nine Lives. Simply put, they can die eight times and still be alive.]
It sounds impressive, but for a slave owner, it's a bit useless, so few people spend a lot of money to buy Neko Mata Clan royal bloodlines.
Of course, these pampered catgirls from the upper echelons of their clan, both in terms of appearance and temperament, far surpassed ordinary catgirls, and they also gave people a mysterious feeling...
Furthermore, royal catgirls have nine lives, allowing some people with special fetishes to indulge in the decadence of royal nobility even more recklessly. This is probably also the reason for their high price.
Damn, I'm getting off topic.
His thoughts gradually drifted, and Hoshino Sora, realizing something was amiss, awkwardly patted his forehead. Then he typed "Dwarf" into the search bar.
The next moment, a piece of information appeared before him.
Slave Name: Dwarf
Slave Description: Skilled in manufacturing weapons, buildings, and various tools. As long as there are blueprints for related items, the Dwarf Clan can complete the production of items in a very short time.
Prestige Value Required: 3000
Seeing the information before him, Hoshino Sora's face lit up with joy. The price was within his acceptable range, and the racial attributes met his requirements. Buy it!
Without further ado, Hoshino Sora directly clicked into the system page.
[Race]: Dwarf
[Gender Selection]: Female
After adding two options, Hoshino Sora quickly selected the slaves. One good thing about the Prestige Value Mall is that you can choose freely; it won't just hand you the slave directly after you select the most basic classification options, unlike system tasks.
"It'll be you three."
After five or six minutes of selection, Hoshino Sora finally spent 12,000 Prestige Value to purchase three strong female Dwarves. As the confirm button was pressed, a white light appeared in front of him.
One second later, the white light dissipated, and three simply dressed, incredibly well-built female Dwarves appeared before Hoshino Sora. Their eyes were dazed, seemingly still unclear about the situation.
Looking at the Dwarves in front of him, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but lean in to observe, but to his surprise, as soon as he approached, they half-knelt and then said in unison, "Master!"
"Ahem, everyone, get up, get up."
Hoshino Sora reached out to help the three up, while also observing them.
They were called Dwarves, but aside from being shorter than average and having exceptionally well-defined muscles, they were basically no different from ordinary people.
However, these strong muscles paired with slightly chubby faces created a truly powerful visual impact, and the real people were much better looking than the pictures included in the Prestige Value Mall!
"You three, go rest in the restaurant first. I remember your name is Soni, right? From now on, you will be the little leader of these two. You will be responsible for all production-related tasks in the Gourmet Manor."
"Yes, Master!"
Hoshino Sora looked at Soni, who stood at the front. This girl had jet-black hair tied in twin pigtails, but because her hair was exceptionally thick, the pigtails stood straight up towards the sky.
She had bangs at the front, with three prominent cowlicks, and her large eyes were filled with intelligence, making her seem easy to trick. Yet, she was the most expensive of the three Dwarves.
She cost him a full five thousand Prestige Value!
And all of this was because Soni possessed a talent, a very powerful talent for a blacksmith.
Talent: Inheritor
Talent Description: Learning speed is five times that of ordinary Dwarves, skilled at transforming knowledge from books into her own knowledge, but extremely unskilled in innovation, only able to rigidly apply knowledge from books. She is a very powerful inheritor.
Although it sounds very limiting, only Hoshino Sora understood how terrifying this talent was, especially for the current Gourmet Manor. Soni's talent could play a huge role!
Soon, the three walked to the restaurant entrance.
"Let me introduce everyone to our new members of the Manor: Dwarf Soni, Dwarf Sakura, and Dwarf Sai Wan."
Pushing open the main door of the restaurant, Hoshino Sora clapped his hands loudly to get everyone's attention. Seeing their gazes turn towards him, he stepped aside to introduce the three Dwarves behind him.
Since they were slaves purchased from the Prestige Value Mall, their names were written there, so Hoshino Sora knew their names without asking.
"Dwarves? Are they mythical creatures?"
"I didn't expect Master to even subdue Dwarves!"
"How come these Dwarves are a bit different from what I imagined? The books say Dwarves are short and stout, but isn't this a beautiful girl? Although she is a bit strong..."
As Hoshino Sora's words fell, a burst of intense discussion immediately erupted on the scene.
"Windsor, you take them to familiarize themselves with the Gourmet Manor and introduce them. I'll go check on the kitchen."
"Windsor, as you command."
Summoning Windsor, who was sitting in the outermost private room, Hoshino Sora gave a brief instruction and continued towards the kitchen. He wanted to check on his wives' progress.
"Come with me, I'll show you around this Manor. When we get back, it'll be almost time to eat. I'll tell you in advance, Master's cooking skills are very high! I really envy you for joining and immediately getting to enjoy such good food!"
Looking at the Dwarf trio observing their surroundings, Windsor approached with a smile, captivating their attention with a few words, and began chatting with them as they walked outside.
On the other side, Hoshino Sora returned to the kitchen.
At this moment, Eri Nai, Alice Nakiri, and Hisako Arato each occupied a corner of the kitchen, swiftly preparing dishes using the ingredients Hoshino Sora had left earlier.
After a few glances, Hoshino Sora went to the spot where he had adjusted the seasonings earlier, then began peeling shrimp to prepare fried rice.
Of course, this time he used mutated river shrimp, which were five times more delicious than ordinary river shrimp. The Golden River Shrimp Fried Rice made from them was naturally a golden-level dish.
Soon, dish after dish came out of the pot, then were sent out for the girls to taste.
And with the combined efforts of the four, the speed of cooking was astonishing. They completed 120 portions of lunch in just half an hour, allowing everyone to eat.
"Do you want to eat in the kitchen, or go outside?"
Looking at the few people who had just finished cooking, somewhat tired, Hoshino Sora asked, holding a bowl of rice.
"Let's eat outside. I want to see who we're cooking for after all."
Eri Nai said, giving Hoshino Sora a slightly resentful look. This guy called her over just to cook, really! Did he really treat her like his servant at home?
"I'm with Erina-sama."
Hearing Erina's words, Hisako, standing beside her, immediately expressed her stance.
"I also agree to go out. By the way, are those catgirls' ears and tails real or fake? Is it cosplay?"
"Those are all real. They are the Neko Mata Clan. I'll introduce them to you in more detail later."
With that, Hoshino Sora carried the Golden River Shrimp Fried Rice out of the kitchen and walked directly to the private room where Windsor and the others were. By this time, Windsor had already finished showing Soni and the others around and returned. Seeing her Master approach, she very perceptively stood up and moved a chair.
"Let's sit here. Windsor, call a few Forest Elves to bring the red wine I brewed. Distribute two bottles to each table. Everyone, eat to your heart's content today!"
"Yes, Master."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Windsor nodded gently, then went to find the Forest Elves in charge of the wine cellar.
"Why do they all call you Master?"
