The 5500th floor of the ring fort, the shop with soft leather and soft teeth.
The consciousnesses of Angel and Laplace have returned to their physical bodies.
However, even though their consciousness returned, the solemn atmosphere surrounding them still did not ease.
Boss Piluxiu, who was passing by by accident, saw that the glass window near Angel was covered with a layer of "illusion magic", blocking the outside world's view, and originally wanted to come over and ask about the situation. But before he stepped forward, he was too afraid to say a word due to the heavy atmosphere. He quietly stepped back and returned to the empty counter before he dared to take a deep breath.
It wasn't until the door of the dyed tooth shop was pushed open that the stagnant atmosphere slowly eased.
Walking in from outside the Teeth-Dyeing Shop was a red-skinned Lu Xiu, who was shorter than the shop owner and could probably reach Angel's waist. He was dressed simply and looked inconspicuous, but as soon as he came in, the store owner jumped up from the counter in shock.
"Pi, Master Pixi?!" the shop owner exclaimed, and the high pitch even broke.
After realizing that his voice was broken, the shop owner quickly covered his mouth, and then ran to the visitor with an attentive look on his face. All kinds of flattering words flowed out of his mouth like flowing water.
Pixi obviously enjoyed the compliment, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled.
If it were normal times, Pixi would probably let the store owner stop talking until he ran out of words; but today, Pixi came here because he had other things to do. After enjoying the compliment for a few seconds, he waved his hand to interrupt. What the shop owner said.
"Okay, that's it for today." Pixi coughed and said, "I came here today to meet an important guest. You step aside first and don't disturb me... Do you understand?"
The shop owner nodded immediately. Although he still doesn't know why Lord Pixi comes to his shop to meet customers, Pixi, as the "Big Daddy" of all the merchants in Pipi Castle, has to provide for whatever he does.
The shop owner glanced at Angel and Laplace not far away with his peripheral vision, and whispered: "Sir, do you want me to drive these two people away?"
Pixi's smiling face suddenly froze when he heard the store owner's words.
"Do you know what you are talking about? These two are the most distinguished guests of the Pilusi family. How can you talk like this!" Pixi leaned into the shop owner's ear and growled: "It's still during the party, so I'll I won’t punish you. But get out of the way quickly and don’t let me see you again.”
The shop owner's flattering expression instantly turned pale.
Are these two humans guests of Lord Pixi? !
Why don't you take the initiative to say it? I...I guess I didn't do anything excessive just now, right?
The store owner was originally thinking about going up to apologize and show off. However, seeing Pixi's angry eyes, he still gave up. He nodded to Pixi, and then quickly ran to the small door behind the counter, leaving the space in the store for Pixi, Angel and others. people.
"The air is finally clean!" Pixi sighed with exaggeration, and then walked to Angel and Laplace and said with an apologetic smile: "Pi Ruanruan doesn't understand the rules, and I was negligent. I would like to apologize to these two distinguished guests on his behalf."
Pixi smiled and bowed again, which made it difficult for Angel and Laplace to say anything.
In fact, Angel didn't think there was anything wrong with the store owner.
However, he also understood what Pi Xi was doing. There is a reason why Pilu Xiu is not popular with others, and his bad nature is the original sin. Pi Xi actually doesn't know if the store owner has neglected them, but according to past practice, he still regards the worst case scenario as a default; plus Just now the store owner said that he wanted to "get rid of Angel and Laplace", so Pixi naturally wanted to put on a show.
Yes, Pixi's pretense just now was just a performance.
He cursed a lot, but he didn't do anything to really embarrass the store owner.
Angel and Laplace both knew it, but there was no need to point it out. As Pilu Xiu's immediate boss, it is human nature to protect his own people.
If Pixi directly betrayed the store owner without saying anything, it would make them look down on him.
Angel: "There's no need to apologize. The store owner didn't do anything wrong."
Pixi said with a smile, "Thank you for your understanding, guest... I know that Pi Ruanruan likes to take advantage of him. Regardless of whether he has done anything wrong or not, I will definitely educate him well when he returns."
Angel: ....You'd better educate yourself.
Speaking of which, the name of the store owner is actually Pi Ruanruan. He named the store after himself, and he is worthy of Pi Luxiu.
Regardless of fundamental flaws, Pilusiu has always been very confident, which is evident from these small details.
"Are you Pixi?" At this time, Laplace on the side said: "Did Luigi call you here?"
Luigi had previously purchased Pixi's favor contract from the Mirror Dragon, and now Pixi appeared here and came to them specifically. It was obviously Luigi who asked him to come.
Pixi nodded with a smile: "Yes, it was Master Luigi who asked me to pick you two up. Master Luigi is with the Sage right now and can't get away for the time being."
When Pixi talked to Angel before, it was normal. But now when he replied to Laplace, even though his tone did not change, his eyes did not dare to look at Laplace at all.
It can also be seen from this that Pixi may know some inside information. Even if Laplace's identity cannot be determined, he still knows that Laplace must be a big shot.
Moreover, after Angel turned on his super-perception, he discovered that when Pixi faced Angel, he not only showed frightened respect, but also a hint of hidden joy. He guessed that he felt that he had a chance to hug him?
The facts were indeed similar to what Angel had guessed.
Pixi used favors to repay his debts because he was thinking about whether he could get into the mirror dragon's lap. But it's a pity that what he hugged was only the thigh of a young dragon, and the young dragon didn't have much thought at all and had long forgotten about him.
Pixie had already given up, but then Luigi showed up.
As a former assistant to Archduke Pixiu, he knew something about Luigi. Luigi and Baba Legon are close friends. Just because of this relationship, Luigi is considered a "big brother" in Pixi's eyes.
Archduke Pixiu once revealed a piece of news to him. Luigi was most likely an incarnation, and his true form might be a great being.
Even though Pixi didn't know who the so-called "great being" was, this did not prevent him from judging Luigi to be at the "giant leg" level.
Since it is a "giant leg", Pixi naturally pays more attention to Luigi.
He knows a lot of information about Luigi, including his friends, some past itineraries, his hobbies...etc.
In Pixi's intelligence network, Luigi does not have a friend called "Laplace".
But just now, when Pixi inquired about Luigi's side, he discovered that Luigi and "Laplace" had a very close relationship.
In the past information, Laplace had not appeared, but he was extremely close to Luigi, which made Pixi suspect that Laplace might also be related to that "great being".
Therefore, when Pixi faced "Big Leg" Lapras, he naturally had to show a respectful attitude.
As for... "Angel" who was also outside the intelligence system, Pixi didn't care that much.
Because "Angel"'s human aura is too obvious, there is no flow of aggregated energy on his body, and his aura is incompatible with the Mirror Realm. There is no doubt that he is a human from the outside world.
No matter how big a human being is, the place he lives in is ultimately a different world from the Mirror Realm. Pixi doesn't even have the thighs of this world, so how can he hug his thighs across worlds?
"In that case, let's go." Laplace nodded and motioned for Pixi to lead the way.
Pi Xi nodded respectfully: "Please come this way, two guests."
Pixi did not take them outside, but walked to the small door behind the counter: "In order to facilitate the delivery of goods by Piluxiu vendors, every shop on this floor has a direct passage to the station."
And this tooth dyeing shop naturally has such a passage.
After opening the door, the first thing they saw was not the passage, but the shop owner Pi Ruanluan looking out eagerly.
Before, the shop owner Pi Ruanruan ran to the small door and hid, thinking about waiting
The person left and went out, but before the person left, the door was opened.
Pi Ruanruan waved to the people outside with an embarrassed look on her face: "Um, everyone... okay?"
"Okay, you come out and continue your work. When we go back, I will educate you properly." Pixi coughed twice and signaled Piruanruan to come out quickly with her eyes.
Angel and Laplace had a tacit understanding and didn't speak.
After Pi Ruanruan came out, Pi Xi immediately led the two of them behind the door.
There is indeed a long and narrow passage behind the door. The end of the passage is dark and the end cannot be seen at a glance.
This passage looked ordinary, but when Pixi entered the passage, the wall on one side immediately gave off a faint glow, projecting a light screen.
The face of a green-skinned Pi Luxi appeared on the light screen.
"Pi Ruanruan, do you want to apply for a return point? Please reply within three seconds, three, two..." The green-skinned Pi Luxiu seemed to be busy with other work. He didn't even raise his head when speaking, but was working on the desk. files on.
Three seconds later, when no soft sounds were heard, the green-skinned Pi Luxiu raised his head in confusion and looked across the light screen.
"Ah?! How could it be... Lord Pixi!" When the green-skinned Pilusi saw the person opposite him, he stood up in fright and stammered as he was told.
Pixi waved his hand: "Sit down first, and then help me record the information of these two guests. After that, they can use the internal passage at will without applying."
The green-skinned Lu Xiu glanced at Angel and Laplace, and did not ask about their identities. Instead, he nodded politely and quickly registered.
Ten seconds later, a registration completion signal came from the other side.
At this time, Pi Xi turned around and said to them: "Two guests, if you need it at the party later, you can enter Pi Lu Xiu's station through the shops on this floor."
Although Angel didn't think he would come to Piluxiu station for the second time, he still thanked Pixi.
Next, with their "identities" in mind, they finally set foot on the road to their station.
Angel didn't estimate how long this passage was, but they saw many doors along the way. According to Pixi, these doors all led to various Pilusi shops.
When Pixi said these words, he was quite proud. In the entire ring fort, only the Piluxiu family had set up this special passage for traders.
It was Pixi who promoted the laying of this passage.
Pixi may be very stingy externally, earning the nickname "Stingy Man" because he is always scrupulous about spending money; but he is very caring about Piluxiu internally, and is worthy of his position.
It is evident that the freight vendors we met along the way also respected Pixi from the bottom of their hearts.
After marching for about five minutes, they walked through the winding passage and walked into Pilu Xiu's station.
Pilu Xiu's station is not as grand as the Hundred Dragon Kingdom, nor does it have any separate space. But Pilu Xiu's station is still huge.
In the middle is a huge square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people without being crowded.
This square is open to the public, and anyone of all ethnic groups can come here unconditionally as long as they wish. Because there is no threshold and it is open to the outside world, this square has become Pilu Xiu's window to the outside world.
Almost all external facilities are located in the square.
For example, there is a service desk for product consultation, a collection and storage of materials for bulk incoming and outgoing goods, a temporary workbench for adding display pages, as well as various street stalls, markets, and entertainment services. They are all here.
Pilusiu even set up a small display stand here, displaying Pilusiu's own products, and some Pilusiu would talk about their invention concepts on the display stand to obtain venture capital.
For example, right now, Angel saw a green-skinned Lu Xiu wearing a half-suit, talking loudly on the display stand, talking about the invention of a gold glove. According to him, this is the gold stomach bag. The invented derivative is connected to the golden stomach bag through a special sensor, allowing the contents of the stomach bag to appear directly on the hand.
This invention sounds ordinary and does not have much practicality, but there are many people willing to participate, and there are even races other than Pilusi.
Willing to invest.
The reason is very simple. The golden stomach bag is a very good space prop. It has a large capacity and is not too expensive. However, it has a shortcoming that many people criticize. Because of the characteristics of the golden stomach bag, it needs to be transplanted into the body to connect to the esophagus. As a result, every time something is taken out, it is spit out from the mouth.
Although "spit out" is just a descriptive action and does not mean that the prop must have "passed through the mouth", it does not give people a good impression.
Many aliens, even if they are interested in the practicality of the gold stomach bag, are a little disgusted by the thought of "vomiting" supplies through their mouths.
This also makes gold wire stomach bags not as popular as expected.
But if you have the accessory of gold gloves, you don't have to "vomit" when taking out items from the gold stomach bag. Instead, you can directly let the items in the stomach bag appear on your hands, which is much more beautiful.
Although the effect is a bit redundant and not necessary for the practical party, for many people who care about details, this is definitely a great benefit.
Therefore, there are no longer a few people who are willing to invest.
In the end, this invention concept received an investment of tens of thousands of crystals. The green-skinned Lu Xiu also came down from the display table with satisfaction, signed an agreement with the investors, and left in a hurry, preparing to show off his skills and create physical inventions.
Angel, who witnessed this scene, was also quite emotional. The Pilusiu family really far surpassed other races in the Mirror Realm in terms of inventive ideas.
Even better than many wizard organizations.
The most important thing is that Pilusiu's superiors are very supportive and specially prepare a stage for these civilians Pilusiu to show off, so that even Pilusiu who is in trouble has a chance to soar into the sky.
It has to be said that Pilu Xiu made a clever move on the road to invention.
