Chapter 409: Changes in Everyone
Thinking of this, Liu Chi directly opened the technology system and called Yang Xi.
Almost instantly, Yang Xi's voice rang in Liu Chi's ears.
"Liu Chi! Are you back?"
Liu Chi walked on the street. Due to the weakened light during the day, the light stones on the street did not absorb much light magic element. After the heavy snow, the street was gray and visibility was extremely low.
Liu Chi said as he walked,
"Yeah! I'm back. Where are you? Are you carrying out the commissioned mission?"
"No! We opened a store here on the West Coast, do you want to come check it out?"
"Open a store?"
Liu Chi had doubts but also some expectations.
What kind of store will open?
"Yes, the West Coast is mostly populated by tourists from all over the world, so we seized the business opportunity and used the money you sent us to open a store."
Yang Xi explained and sent his coordinates to Liu Chi via the bracelet.
"This is my current coordinates, come and take a look, there is a surprise for you!"
"Okay! Then wait for me to come over!"
Having said that, Liu Chi cut off the call with Yang Xi. Looking at the chat window that popped up, he silently wrote down the coordinates.
After quickly teleporting twice, Liu Chi arrived at a luxuriously decorated room.
Looking at Yang Xi in front of him, who was wearing a black tight leather jacket, Liu Chi was a little dazed.
This is completely different from the Yang Xi he had imagined.
Seeing Liu Chi suddenly appear and look at him with a strange expression, Yang Xi quickly laughed and explained,
"Is it because I look amazing in this outfit? Or is it because you can't accept me wearing this?"
The black tights outlined Yang Xi's curvy figure, and paired with her long black hair like a waterfall, her originally cute appearance became full of aggressiveness.
Liu Chi shook his head slightly and asked,
"Are you wearing this for the store? What kind of store do you have? Why do you have to dress like this?"
Yang Xi looked at the confused Liu Chi and laughed happily. He approached Liu Chi and took his right hand.
“Come with me and see!”
Yang Xi, who had the strength of a great swordsman, pulled lightly, but the frail Liu Chi was unable to resist at all and was directly pulled out of the room.
Hearing the beautiful music floating outside, Liu Chi immediately locked his sights on a corner of the hall, where three musicians were playing their own instruments, and using magic props on the side, the sound covered the entire hall.
When Liu Chi turned his attention to the hall, he was startled.
It turned out that the store Yang Xi was talking about was actually a gambling business that provided entertainment for people.
"This is where Catherine is in charge. Our store is a place for people to relax and have fun. It provides accommodation, food, singing and dancing, and gambling."
Yang Xi pulled Liu Chi and walked in the corridor upstairs. Below the handrail of the stairs was the crowded "entertainment" hall.
Seeing people passing by bowing slightly to greet Yang Xi and calling her "Sister Yang" from time to time, Liu Chi's head was buzzing.
After walking down the corridor, Liu Chi, who had been listening all the way, also knew why Yang Xi wore this outfit. With the strength of a great swordsman, she was responsible for hosting the highest level of gambling, and the amount of this kind of gambling was generally up to tens of thousands of diamond coins.
But the bad news is that Yang Xi has not hosted a single event since its opening.
The two of them walked all the way to the gate, and Yang Xi had almost finished her introduction, so she continued,
"Liu Chi, can we go to other areas? I always feel that you don't like the atmosphere here."
Liu Chi nodded. Although he knew that the gaming hall here was the main source of income for the store, he still couldn't accept it psychologically.
Yang Xi gently pushed open the double door, and the fresh air blew in like a spring breeze, making people want to take a few deep breaths.
"So, this place is like a hotel?"
After looking around, Liu Chi's eyes met Yang Xi's.
"You can think of it this way: we've replicated the Black Pearl model and recreated it here on the West Coast."
Listening to Yang Xi's explanation, Liu Chi took a rough tour of the lobby on the first floor and completely understood the structure of the hotel.
The first to fifth floors of the building, except for the first floor lobby which is divided into two halves, the larger half is used for gambling and serves as the gambling hall. The remaining second to fifth floors are all gambling areas and can only be entered from the gambling hall.
The remaining floors six to twelve are divided into other small areas.
After Yang Xi finished his brief introduction, Liu Chi, who was sitting on the sofa in the hall, asked,
“Who wants to open the hotel?”
Yang Xi was a little embarrassed, her cute cheeks turned slightly red, and her eyes looked at Liu Chi a little evasive.
"It was Catherine who first proposed it, and then we hit it off and decided on it. The first thing we did after getting off the boat was to buy land, and then find someone to build a house."
At this point, Yang Xi paused and continued,
"Thanks to the owner, we also have several free Saint-level masters to help us, otherwise we wouldn't be able to open so soon."
Liu Chi nodded. It is a good thing to spend money on useful things and make money continuously.
"Where are they? Why are you the only hard-working person in the store?"
Liu Chi asked Yang Xi,
Since coming in, Liu Chi has never seen anyone other than Yang Xi, and his soul realm cannot sense anyone else.
"Alas! After you left, a lot of things happened to us after we got off the boat."
Yang Xi felt a little sad inside, but she still kept smiling in front of Liu Chi.
Liu Chi's heart also began to feel a little uncomfortable following Yang Xi's tone.
"Tell me, what happened after you got off the boat?"
Yang Xi hurriedly shook his head, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes, and said,
"When we were on the ship, Catherine loved to play and lost all the money you gave her in one day."
As if remembering something, Yang Xi couldn't help laughing.
“Katherine lost all her money, but guess who became the Black Pearl Gambling God?”
Seeing Yang Xi's mysterious smile, Liu Chi guessed, "Is it you, Xi'er?"
Yang Xi smiled and shook his head, "Guess again!"
"Karina?"
"Guess again!"
"Could it be Sister Anna?"
"No, I'll give you one last chance!"
"No way, it can't be Chris?"
Liu Chi's expression was full of surprise and disbelief. He had already determined that Chris was the Black Pearl Gambling God.
"You guessed it right! Thanks to Chris, we won back the money that Catherine lost several times. Otherwise, we wouldn't have the money to open the store."
"After we got off the ship, Karina left with Janet, Irene returned home, and the two elf sisters also returned to their tribe. We were the only ones left. We didn't even see Jack and the other two."
After listening to what Yang Xi said, Liu Chi fell into deep thought, and after a long while he said,
"It seems that Karina was taken to the Magic Tower by Janet."
"The Magic Tower? Isn't that the place that magic scholars dream of?"
Yang Xi was delighted and expressed her happiness that Karina would go to the Magic Tower for further studies.
Seeing Yang Xi laughing, Liu Chi shook his head gently and said in a low voice,
"Karina's matter is not that simple. This trip to the magic tower is probably dangerous. She was captured, and you may not know it."
"No way! She was arrested? Oh! I see!"
Yang Xi recalled what happened before, and combined with his own guesses, he just figured out the reason why Karina was arrested.
"So what are we going to do?"
Yang Xi looked at Liu Chi, waiting for Liu Chi's answer, and at the same time an idea came to his mind.
If one day, I was caught and put into the tower, what would Liu Chi do to me?
Seeing Yang Xi's little thoughts, Liu Chi reached out his hand, touched Yang Xi's forehead, and said,
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Don't worry. As a magic scholar, the Magic Tower is also the place I long for in my heart. After I finish dealing with the things in my hands, I will find a way to rescue Karina."
After being enlightened by Liu Chi, Yang Xi suddenly realized and immediately said,
"We have tried to find the Seven Star Key, but there is no trace of it. We have been searching in secret until now. It seems that our purpose of boarding the ship has failed."
"You are stupid. Don't worry about the Seven Star Keys. I have already collected them. I will go to the place where the Black Dragon is sealed in a few days. I think you should not go with me this time."
"why?"
Yang Xi looked at Liu Chi, and when she asked why, she understood what Liu Chi meant. Now that their camp had lost the weapon Dark Night Star Pupil, they could no longer completely protect themselves and become invincible.
Seeing Yang Xi's excited face gradually darken, Liu Chi said,
"It is said that the Black Dragon has reached the level of a noble. If this operation fails, I will be the only one to die. You all must live well, take my share, and live well."
After they finished talking, the two remained silent for a long time. The sound of a carriage outside the door interrupted their eye contact.
Liu Chi came out of his thoughts and looked towards the door instinctively.
