Marron locked the door to her room at the mimic inn and pulled out her hidden rice ball stash. She counted them twice—only eight left, split between the safe ones for herself and the deadly salty ones for the mimics.
Not nearly enough for what she had planned.
And while she had marked both kinds of rice balls, the diner's lighting was still dim. During a rush hour, she wouldn't be able to tell them apart, and the last thing she wanted was to eat a super salty rice ball.
I think it's time to upgrade my food stash.
She opened her System interface and checked her gold.
[Gold: 1,050]
Fifty gold would buy her the ingredients she needed. A steep price, but these rice balls were her weapons now. She unwrapped one of her personal rice balls, and ate as she selected her fillings and seasonings.
Let's see...pickled vegetables, some cheese, and maybe some beef?
She made her choice and watched as each filling appeared on the table.
