Chapter 1268: Start
"What are you talking about, so happy."
Su Mo walked up with a smile.
"Sister Xue is planning today's play plan for us."
Seeing Su Mo coming, everyone said excitedly.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"
Su Mo waved his hand.
"Oye!"
Soon after, Su Mo and others came to the most famous area of Laurel King City, St. Mark's Square area.
As soon as they arrive at the place, everyone can smell it clearly, the faint fragrance of laurel is very fresh and pleasant.
Immediately after that, you will see the incomparably spectacular and bustling giant commercial square.
You know, here is the busiest shopping street in the world other than the City of Star Rings, and it is also known as the second shopping paradise in the universe.
There is even a saying that when you come to the Laurel Kingdom, if you don't visit this area, you will be in vain.
Although this area is full of commercial atmosphere, it is not repulsive.
Because the decoration of each store here is very distinctive, giving people a different sensory impact. In addition, there are many strange mascots at the entrance, attracting many tourists to take pictures.
The most important point is that almost all stores have signs of big promotions and discounts to stimulate the senses of tourists.
A large number of tourists stopped and bought goods one after another.
And the shopkeepers here, all with smiles on their faces, strongly recommend various products for tourists.
If you observe carefully, you will find that when there are more tourists entering the store, the store owner will accurately identify the country and wealth of the customers through the clothes on the customers, and give priority to recommending high-value products to rich customers.
Therefore, although Su Mo and his party are large in number and the girls are very attractive, there are hardly many shop owners who are enthusiastic about selling things.
Usually it's just one sentence.
"You can browse the merchandise as you like."
"The products here look very high-end, and the texture is also very good."
"The price is not generally expensive."
"I feel that the consumption here is almost comparable to the second ring of the Star Ring City."
Zhao Han and the others watched and discussed.
Su Mo saw that everyone was basically looking at it, and didn't make any purchases, so he clapped his hands.
"Everyone come here."
"What's wrong?"
Sun Li, Ziqing and the others gathered curiously.
"Don't just look at it and don't buy it. I will reimburse you for everything you buy from now on. It's rare to come out to play once. You're welcome!"
Su Mo announced very generously.
"That Su Mo, we also have money in our hands. We will buy what we like when we see it. There is no need to waste money. In fact, it's good to take a stroll."
Sun Li shook her head and took the lead in declining. She knew very well that Su Mo had money, but he still owed a lot of money.
"Yes, sister Sun Li is right."
Ziqing and the others agreed one after another.
"Boss, this is unnecessary."
Sun Duoxiang persuaded him with a smile.
Qian Chengxue took Su Mo's hand and said softly, "It's good to go shopping like this. If there is something we really like, we will buy it."
"I know you guys are worried about my debts, but you don't need to worry about that, I've almost paid it off."
Su Mo waved his hands pretending to be relaxed. Of course, his words were more or less pretentious. The debt of Star Ring City has been paid off, but the problem is that the old man still owes a lot.
Qian Chengxue and the others were also stunned when they heard Su Mo's words.
Sun Duoxiang swallowed involuntarily, and asked Su Mo in disbelief: "Boss, have you really paid off the money you owe to Star Ring City?"
"Of course."
Su Mo replied with a smile.
"That's still polite, hurry up and make a big purchase!"
Sun Duoxiang shouted excitedly in an instant.
"Sister Xue? Then we also made a big purchase?"
Sun Li and the others looked excitedly at Qian Chengxue.
Qian Chengxue nodded with a smile and said yes.
"By the way, Sun Duoxiang, you are not within the scope of the exemption. Sun Li and the others are all paid wages and have little money, but you have money yourself."
Su Mo continued in a good mood.
"No way."
Sun Duoxiang's face suddenly collapsed.
"Ha ha!"
The girls present covered their mouths and laughed.
A few hours later, Su Mo and others wandered from the street to the mall.
Zhao Han, Zi Qing, Zhou Qian and the others all had excited smiles on their faces, and everyone was carrying a bunch of things in their hands.
Many locals from the Laurel Kingdom who passed by looked over one after another.
"Nouveau riche!"
Many people complained indignantly.
You must know that even they can't make such big purchases as they like.
If you can buy one piece a month, the condition of your home is very good.
Su Mo raised the electronic bracelet and took a look. It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. He looked around, and then he saw a high-end Senwei restaurant.
He then said to Qian Chengxue and the others.
"It's almost time to eat, let's go to that restaurant."
"Would it be so expensive? We've bought so many things, why don't we just stop eating? Let's go back to the hotel for dinner at night."
Zhao Han and others hesitated to propose.
"Don't worry, open up and eat, how much money will it cost?"
"okay!"
"Walk!"
Su Mo waved his hand grandly, and then led a mighty hundred people towards the restaurant.
"welcome."
Just when Su Mo and others came to the restaurant entrance, a rather temperamental female manager with short hair and white professional clothes greeted her with a smile on her face.
Although among Su Mo's group, only Qian Chengxue and Sun Li wore more expensive clothes.
But with so many consumer goods in their hands, no matter how stupid they are, they can see that this group of customers is very powerful.
"Regardless of the price, bring up all your features. Of course, don't take us for a ride."
Su Mo said to the manager in front of him lightly.
"Okay, no problem, I will prepare it for you, and I will arrange a few private rooms for you."
"You don't need a private room. You can't accommodate so many of us in one of your private rooms. Let's just sit in that lobby."
"no problem."
The female manager responded enthusiastically.
Soon Su Mo and the others were seated one by one. The decoration of this restaurant is very good. All the tables are made of natural black crystal rock, and the natural texture looks very high-end.
The chairs are all upholstered, and the sitting comfort is extremely high.
At this time, a sweet-looking waitress in a low-collared white shirt, black hip-wrapped short skirt, and 20cm high heels came up one after another to pour tea for Su Mo and the others.
At this moment, a waitress was approaching. Seeing Su Mo, she couldn't help but panicked, and she subconsciously wanted to go to the table next to her.
As a result, his foot tilted and he fell directly in front of Su Mo and Qian Chengxue.
Boom!
The cups containing tea were scattered all over the floor.
Su Mo was also slightly taken aback, subconsciously turned his head to look over, and frowned.
When Qian Chengxue saw it, she turned her head and looked over.
I saw that the fallen waitress turned out to be Tang Zhi, and I didn't expect to see her here.
"sorry."
Tang Zhi apologized in a panic, then hurriedly cleaned up the spilled cup and retreated in a panic.
"Su Mo, do you know her well?"
Qian Chengxue asked curiously.
"I'm not familiar with it, but she used to make things difficult for Lan Xi, and she was quite a money worshiper, so I have a little impression. I remember that you should have seen her."
Su Mo thought for a while and replied.
"Well, I did. I remember that she seemed to be with my cousin Ye Jing at the time. But I felt that she looked down on Ye Jing at the time, and felt like kicking him out. Of course, Ye Jing himself It doesn’t have a good reputation in that regard either.”
Qian Chengxue thought for a while and said.
"One more thing, I'm also quite surprised, how could a gold digger like her come to work in the first birthplace?"
Su Mo was also a little curious.
"Nine times out of ten, I should have been tricked into coming here. In fact, since the federation joined the system of the Star Ring City, the first birthplace and the second birthplace were forced to open to us. Many people are hoping to make a fortune. Dream, I want to go to the first two breeding grounds, especially the first breeding ground is extremely popular. If there is demand, there will be benefits, so many gray organizations have been born."
Qian Chengxue explained to Su Mo.
"I'm familiar with this, isn't it the transportation of black laborers? This is already considered good, and some end up worse than this. I used to come across a lot when I was doing black work. Boss, do you want to help her?"
Sun Duoxiang approached with a smile.
"Go away, don't help, hurry up and eat, and go shopping after eating."
Su Mo didn't have such a good heart, he was just a little surprised, and he found a problem.
The countries in the third birthplace seem to have begun to experience the phenomenon of talent and labor outflow.
The first birthplace is like a greedy lion, with its mouth wide open.
"Eat, eat."
Sun Duoxiang quickly echoed.
An hour later, Su Mo and others came out of the restaurant talking and laughing.
"Sister Xue, we haven't visited the top floor yet, why don't we take a stroll?"
Sun Li asked excitedly.
"OK."
Qian Chengxue nodded, and they all went up to the top floor.
But when Sun Li and the others reached the top floor of St. Mark's Mall, they were dumbfounded.
They found that the sales on the top floor were all the top luxury goods, such as jewelry, watches and so on.
It's just that it's all up, and it's not appropriate to go straight down, so I just strolled around.
At this moment, Zhao Han suddenly shouted excitedly as if he had discovered some new continent.
"Come here and have a look."
After hearing the words, Su Mo and others turned their heads to look over.
I saw Zhao Han standing on the observation deck on the top floor, looking out through the transparent glass.
Su Mo and others walked over one after another.
When Su Mo and the others came to the transparent observation deck, they looked out.
There is an endless sea of laurel trees behind the mall, these laurel trees are black, blue, red
At this time, a warm wind blows through the sea of trees.
Countless laurel trees whirled, and some withered and yellow laurel leaves flew up.
The entire sea of trees is as beautiful as a fairyland.
"so beautiful."
Su Mo couldn't help but exclaim.
"Look well, Sister Xue, let's go down and take a stroll."
Sun Li asked expectantly.
Qian Chengxue was also very moved. She rarely saw such a beautiful scenery, so she couldn't help but look at Su Mo.
"What do you think, Su Mo?"
"Go and have a look. If there are no prohibition signs, let's go in and take a look."
Su Mo said with a smile.
"Great!"
Many sisters responded excitedly.
Soon after, Su Mo and others left their purchases and came to the sea of trees from the back door of the mall.
They walked all the way, and found that the place was quite deserted, and there were no figures at all, only a small number of foreign tourists taking pictures. And also did not see any prohibition signs, as well as guards.
But the scenery here is really amazing.
Before they entered, they saw a few furry animals with big ears that looked a bit like a little brown bear on the edge of the sea of trees, blinking at them.
"Wow, so cute."
Sun Li and the others picked up their mobile phones to take pictures.
"Su Mo, can we go in?"
Qian Chengxue asked softly.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. There are no prohibition signs or guards here. And there is a path over there. Although it seems that no one has walked it for a long time, there is actually a path, which means that it is still open to people."
Su Mo briefly analyzed it.
Of course, Su Mo didn't know that the locals didn't dare to come here, and only foreign tourists like them dared to come in.
"Then we go in."
Qian Chengxue and the others walked in in a good mood.
Su Mo followed closely behind.
After entering the sea of laurel trees, the fragrance and freshness of the air have obviously risen to a higher level.
Breathing the air here, I feel that the thoughts of the brain have become much clearer.
Along the way, Zhou Qian and others started to fight, picking up some leaves and stones from time to time.
Qian Chengxue and Su Mo strolled leisurely inside.
"It's been a long time, I haven't been so leisurely."
"yes."
Su Mo also responded quite emotionally.
"In fact, if you can live in this environment quietly, you will be very happy."
Qian Chengxue looked at the endless laurel tree, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
"You like it here."
Su Mo asked with a smile.
"I just like the scenery here."
Qian Chengxue responded with a smile.
Talking and laughing, the two gradually went deep into the sea of trees. At this time, they saw a quiet wooden house in the depths of the sea of trees.
There is also a small fenced courtyard.
"I didn't expect there to be a house here, no one would live here."
Qian Chengxue said quite unexpectedly.
"Well, why don't you go and have a look."
Su Mo suggested.
"Is this appropriate?"
"Just take a look, it should be fine."
"OK!"
Qian Chengxue happily replied.
Then Su Mo took Qian Chengxue for a stroll towards the wooden house. After the two approached, they found some beautiful flowers and plants planted in the courtyard.
These flowers and plants are taken care of very well.
creak.
At this time, the door of the wooden house opened, and a very clean-dressed, kind-looking old woman came out of the house.
Seeing Su Mo and Qian Chengxue, she smiled gently at them.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were also slightly taken aback, they didn't expect such an old woman to live here, so they asked.
"Excuse me, I want to ask you, the sea of trees here is very beautiful, what is this place?"
"This sea of trees is not a scenic spot, but my wife and I planted it together before."
The old woman replied with a smile.
When Su Mo heard this, he immediately realized that it was a private domain.
"I take the liberty of interrupting you."
"It's okay, if you don't dislike it, come in and have a seat."
The old woman invited with a smile.
"All right."
Su Mo was also very surprised by the other party's invitation, but since the other party invited him, let's go in.
So the two followed the old woman into the wooden house.
The wooden house is much more spacious than imagined, and various wooden furniture are displayed here.
But everything is neatly arranged.
It can be seen that the old woman in front of me seems to have very good qualities and education.
The old lady in front of her took out a pottery tea set without haste, and made a cup of laurel flower tea for Su Mo and Qian Chengxue herself.
"Try my old lady's bay osmanthus tea that she dried herself."
"Thanks."
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue thanked them for taking it.
They took a sip, the scented tea was sweet and delicious, and it was fragrant after drinking.
"very nice."
Su Mo's eyes lit up and said.
"Come and have a taste, our specialty here is laurel pastry."
The old lady warmly entertained Su Mo and Qian Chengxue.
"Grandma, you are too polite."
Su Mo also replied quite touched, he could feel that the old woman in front of him was sincerely treating guests.
This feeling was something he had never felt since he came to the Laurel Kingdom.
"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, you should be from other places. Since you're here in the Laurel Kingdom, you're the guests."
The old woman replied kindly and calmly.
Su Mo said quite touched: "Thank you, I never expected to be treated so warmly when I came to the Laurel Kingdom. I feel that you are completely different from the people outside."
The old lady smiled slightly when she heard Su Mo's words.
"If you don't mind, you can listen to my old lady's nagging."
"Please tell me."
"Actually, with my eyes closed, I also know what happened to you when you came to the Laurel Kingdom. Did everyone look at you with colored glasses and arrogantly make money from your pockets? They are kind on the surface, but they are full of superiority and disdain in their hearts. .”
"Uh, sort of."
Su Mo showed a forced smile.
"Actually, the Laurel Kingdom was not like this before. A long time ago, the Laurel Kingdom itself was very weak, and the folk customs were very simple at that time. But when it became stronger, it gradually forgot its original intention, and people's hearts became impetuous, and they began to be blindly arrogant and arrogant. This is like people who go ashore, looking at those struggling in the water, full of pride and pride, completely forgetting that they were also struggling in the water at the beginning. In fact, this kind of problem is not limited to the Laurel Kingdom, just take the machine next door. For the Mukui Empire, they are the same. I have long forgotten that they were just poor people struggling to survive on the garbage planet."
The old woman said with a smile.
When Su Mo and Qian Chengxue heard the old woman's words, they couldn't help being in awe.
The old woman in front of her saw the problem, but she didn't see it thoroughly.
"Makes sense."
"Few people can understand the truth of old rotten sesame seeds. If you think the old lady is right, young man, then remember my words. The world is very impetuous, so you must calm down. No matter what you grow up to Don’t forget your original intention. It is impossible for a person to be in a high position forever, so he must maintain humility and reason.”
"Well, thank you."
Su Mo nodded in response.
At this moment, there was a shout outside.
"Su Mo, Sister Xue"
It seems that Sun Li and others have come to find him.
"Thank you, old lady, for your hospitality. Our companion is here, so let's go first."
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue stood up and said goodbye.
"Well, go slowly."
The old woman said goodbye amiably.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue got up and left the cabin to join Sun Li and the others.
Before leaving, Su Mo couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the wooden house behind him.
At this time, the Creator Devourer said in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"No, I just think that the old woman's state of mind is very good."
Su Mo replied lightly.
"Of course it's not bad. She's not an ordinary person. She was the last head of the Laurel Kingdom, and she was also the longest-serving queen in the history of the Laurel Kingdom. She abruptly pulled an unpopular country from the brink of extinction. Come back, and at the same time lay the foundation for the prosperity of the Laurel Kingdom."
The Creator Devourer said in a low voice.
"The last queen of Yuegui? Live here in seclusion?"
Su Mo's eyelids twitched when he heard this.
"Well, that's right."
The Creator Devourer replied in a low voice.
When Su Mo heard this, his mood became more and more touched.
"Su Mo, it's time to go."
At this moment, Qian Chengxue, who was not far away, shouted at Su Mo who had stopped.
"good."
Su Mo came back to his senses and responded.
Wreckage Empire·Empire Administration Building.
A gentlemanly old man walked in calmly.
The guards in full armor knelt on one knee and greeted the old man who came in.
"Lord Njita."
This gentlemanly old man was none other than the one who lobbied Su Mo to give up the game.
After Count Nguita entered the building, he walked straight to the main elevator in the center.
The guard guarding the elevator saluted, and then opened the elevator.
Count Engita walked in, the elevator door closed slowly, and then rose at a high speed, leading directly to the top floor of the Imperial Administration Building.
Ding!
When the elevator doors opened again.
Njita came out and made a beeline for a heavily guarded office.
Seeing Njita approaching, the guarding soldiers saluted and opened the office door.
In the huge office, Bennett and a group of nobles were seriously discussing the preparations for the competition.
"How prepared are the participants in the preliminaries."
"No problem, we are all ready. If our preliminaries can bump into those more popular reserve players, we will try our best to give them the greatest damage, so that they cannot advance in the best state."
"How is Roche's on-site training going?"
"very good."
At this moment, Njita stepped forward and said, "I'm back."
"How is it? Are things going well?"
Bennett asked quickly.
"It didn't go well, the other party refused."
Njita shook his head and replied calmly.
Hearing what Engita said, the nobles of the Aircraft Empire present were immediately angry.
"It's really shameless to give face. It's not funny to give so much money."
Bennett also frowned, twenty trillion star coins, that is not a small sum. Under normal circumstances, no one should be able to resist the temptation of so much money.
At this moment, the door was opened again.
Duke Alef came in, and he said disdainfully.
"I don't understand. It's just a player born in a barbaric country. Are you so nervous and fanciful? With the strength of Roche and His Royal Highness Grillos, they can easily solve each other. As for taking so much money to bribe each other ? Isn’t this a waste of money? You must know that our money is not blown by the wind.”
"Duke Alef is right."
The nobles present nodded their heads in response.
However, Earl Engita, who was in charge of lobbying Su Mo at this time, said instead: "I don't think so, I think my intuition is not that simple, and not everyone can reject 20 trillion star coins. Think about it carefully, Those who can refuse are either fools or disdainful, which one do you think the other party belongs to?"
Hearing what Engita said, everyone present fell silent.
Facing the silence of the crowd, Duke Alef just said something coldly.
"So what, the warriors of our empire have never had an opponent in the Xinghai. When the time comes, let him taste the power of the empire's iron fist. Don't cry and beg for mercy, it will be funny, haha."
"Haha, Master Alef is right."
A few days later, Laurel Kingdom Ginkgo Street.
Su Mo and the others were eating and drinking while shopping.
At this moment, all the holographic advertisements on the street were replaced, and the advertisements for the selection competition of the Royal Order began to be projected.
"Countdown to the opening ceremony of the Timaklo Star Arena: 24 hours! If you want to personally experience the duel of top experts and witness the birth of a king, then go to the Timaklo Star Arena to watch it live. "
Seeing this advertisement, Su Mo immediately stopped and opened the electronic bracelet to check.
"What's wrong?"
Qian Chengxue asked curiously.
"The game is about to start, and it's time to warm up."
Su Mo checked, and found that the Starring City, First Legion, and Royal Order's reserve and captain-level trials are about to begin.
The list for the first round of matches has been released.
When he scanned quickly, he saw Wang Hai's name at a glance.
The first round of Wang Hai's match was against the second star field, the Kingdom of Myrik, Ahal.
At the same time, tickets for the Timakro Star Arena are on sale.
Qian Chengxue pondered for a while and said, "Su Mo, we've finished our tour, let's go back."
"good."
Su Mo nodded.
Immediately Qian Chengxue shouted to the many sisters: "Everyone stop, everyone go back to the hotel."
"good."
After Sun Li and the others heard it, they immediately responded.
ps: I'm sorry, but it's my birthday at night, so I can't add more (*^▽^*), please forgive me!
