Chapter 543 The Night Before (II)
Game time PM22:30
Marshall Territory, Mithril City, Liuli Pavilion Grand Observation Hall
This is the top floor of Liuli Pavilion. It’s also the whole city except the rooftop of the city hall. The place with the best view from outside, it has extremely luxurious but not ostentatious furnishings. Under the constant temperature barrier that runs all year round, there are all kinds of precious plants, which are harmful to the body even if they smell them. The highly beneficial varieties are like a garden that lasts all year round.
This kind of large viewing hall is the standard configuration of Liuli Pavilion in all cities above medium size. It combines high price, luxurious decoration, high price, thoughtful service, high price, complete security, The combination of expensive prices and top-notch food can make any guest who has the money to live here feel at home and feel warmer than home.
By the way, the Grand Viewing Pavilion of Liuli Pavilion can also be said to be the safest place in Mithril City at the moment. In fact, it is the safest place in many places, no matter how bad it is, it is one of them.
This is not because of how powerful the security is or how complete the defense measures are. In fact, although every Liuli Pavilion has at least one or two people of epic level or above (that is, most of them are epic level) The strong ones guard it, but that actually doesn’t mean anything. If nothing else, places like Ankh Market, Free City, Light City, Borderlands, etc. are basically epic places all over the place. In a world where high-level people are not as good as dogs, one or two epic-level bodyguards really mean nothing. Of course, the people Liuliting arranges in those places must be full-fledged legendary level, but this is not the point...
The key point is that the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce has made it known from the beginning of building this high-end brand that anyone who dares to attack the guests staying in the Liuliting Grand Observation Hall will have trouble with the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.
What does 'hands-on' here mean? It's actually not complicated. From the moment the guest pays the room fee, that person will get a golden VIP badge. As long as he is within the radius of Liuli Pavilion He is wearing that eye-catching MAX waistband within ten miles. Without provocation first, anyone who attacks him is equivalent to being in trouble with the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.
Although it seems that there are many loopholes that can be exploited, this is not the case, because the waist card itself is a very sophisticated and priceless alchemical creation. After the user activates it, it can be hidden in the The huge amount of high-precision detection technology inside transmits various information such as images and sounds in real time. To put it simply, it is something like a driving recorder.
Therefore, the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce can naturally know very clearly whether the owner of the waistband wears it outside, and the basic characteristics of the assailant when a guest is attacked.
Of course, if the tenant does not carry a waistband, or leaves the ten-kilometer radius of the local Liulicing Pavilion, the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce will not be responsible. After all, their purpose is to protect the guests, not to let the guests With Liuli Pavilion as his backing, he is domineering all over the world.
In history, there have indeed been countless people seeking asylum in this way, and their safety was mostly guaranteed. However, at the beginning, some guests were killed in the Grand Observation Hall. accidents in the room or near Liuli Pavilion, but the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce also proved its promise with its strength. Almost none of the perpetrators of those 'accidents' ended up well. Even if they used the method of buying murderers, the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce would definitely end up in the end. They will find out the mastermind behind the scenes and then kill them or make their life worse than death.
Because they have money, they can do whatever they want in most cases, it's that simple.
By the way, the price of Mithril City Liuli Pavilion Grand Observation Hall is 180,000 gold coins per night. Premium members can enjoy 179,995 gold coins per night plus professional pedicure. Serve.
To be honest, buying a whole day's support for less than 200,000 gold coins is already a very cost-effective thing from an objective point of view. As for whether the seemingly luxurious large viewing hall is worth the price, no one No one cares about it.
Before the lord coalition returned to Mithril City, Zijing, the commander-in-chief of the Bauhinia Guard, sent people to the Liulic Pavilion to book the large viewing hall for Clairvaux for three days. Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor I no longer plan to stay at the Mithril City City Hall where I stayed before.
Combined with the small-scale chaos in the Violet position during the earlier attack on Mercury City, and the injury of Zijing, the commander of the Bauhinia Guards, His Majesty’s move made many people with sensitive sense of smell vaguely discover something...
What was even more surprising was Liuli Pavilion’s reaction. It is said that the fat goblin boss rushed out in person after Zi Jing said he wanted to book the grand viewing hall for three days. He held Zi Jing's hand with great excitement and shook it for half a minute, and said that the handsome guy or beauty wearing a mask in front of him is the 163,217th guest of Liuli Pavilion in Mithril City since its establishment. Congratulations. You, the three-day room fee in the Grand Observation Hall is free of charge, and it also comes with two free VIP membership cards and three professional pedicure services. The top floor was packed up just two minutes ago, so you can check in right away!
So...
"I was bored just now, so I went to the front desk under the guise of Fire Claw Ling Xiaogongju to chat with the manager, and took a look at their check-in register."
In the corner of the lobby on the first floor of Liuli Pavilion, Futaba took two plates of snacks and walked to the black velvet sofa in front of Mo Tan and sat down. The corners of her mouth twitched and she said, "It turns out that Chief Purple Mirror is really the 163,217th person in this store." Guest, although this number is of no use, these goblins are really serious."
"Thank you~"
Mo Tan took the small one handed by Futaba. After dishing up some snacks, he grabbed a piece of black pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "That's how it should be. Since the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce wants to express its position, no matter whether His Majesty the Emperor is in the twentieth Anyone who comes here will definitely be a lucky guest, haha... It's so generous. The room fee of more than 500,000 gold coins is waived."
Futaba smacked her lips and raised her eyebrows. Said: "It's not very expensive. I think you can stay there for a few days at the original price."
"Haha, who says it isn't?"
Although he knew that the other party had no good intentions, Mo Tan did not resist this kind of temptation. He just nodded generously and smiled: "But then again , you said that you are a young male from the Fire Claws... Isn't that a little disrespectful to genetics? I heard that the rhinoceros You are eight feet tall, eight feet in waist, can breathe fire, and can eat people. With your head, you probably have the same size as someone with a big hip, right?”
Obviously, we all know it from God’s perspective? , he was just continuing to confuse the audience. After all, Hei Fan and Xi Luo had seen each other before, and it was absolutely impossible to make such conjectures.
This kind of natural, tongue-in-cheek, random and casual confusion runs through every detail of his relationship with Futaba. It can be said to be natural, without any clues at all, even if it is the latter Even if you are wary of him in every possible way, you will never be able to detect any problem without grasping the key information, because what Mo Tan said... there was no problem at all from the beginning.
Only this kind of extremely clever subconscious indoctrination, which has an absolute advantage in intelligence, can deceive Futaba.
The reason why Mo Tan did this was that he once again raised the opponent to the level of 'an opponent who can defeat him at any time and is worthy of all his efforts'.
The previous discussion about 'win or lose' with Futaba brought back his already subverted impression of the latter in his mind. Mo Tan had to admit that even though this dead girl was in his own mind, Many weaknesses were exposed in front of him, and he also gained a certain advantage with the help of some kind of bug, but this still did not mean that he was much 'stronger' than the opponent, nor did it mean that he could 'win'.
If he were to be put in Futaba's position, he himself would not be confident that he could do better than the other party, and would even be inferior in some details, such as in Salamun Iron Gate Court. When he was ambushed, he could tell at a glance that the person with the wrong problem was Futaba. Without her and Salia's bloody coat of arms, Mo Tan would have been killed in all likelihood. So, if Salia Leah didn't leave him the mark with remote sensing function before. Will he still go back to Iron Gate Court?
Not necessarily, but possible.
This was the answer Mo Tan gave himself. In other words, if Futaba hadn't noticed it, he would have very likely died because of his rashness.
Although it was absolutely impossible to show weakness or introspection in words or actions, Mo Tan at this moment was not the kind of person who would avoid his mistakes. On the contrary, he was sincerely excited about it.
This lunatic's attitude towards frustration and miscalculation is almost insanely pleasurable. So when he discovered that Futaba was actually no less than the 'SUN' in his past impression, and even more unfathomable, he was so happy that he forgot about himself.
Back to business...
"Rhinoceros Fire Claw is not as 'spectacular' as rumored. In fact, his figure can be said to be underdeveloped among orcs. Bad.”
Futaba rolled his eyes indifferently and chuckled: "And with the ability of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, as long as you are willing, it is not difficult to find out my origin. If you are willing to cooperate with my nonsense, it only shows that those ugly people are not good at all." A few goblins don’t care about this at all, let alone the little princess of Fire Claw. Even if I claim to be the sister-in-law of Rhinoceros Fire Claw, they will probably nod and believe me.” There are more goblins, but that doesn’t mean that all its members are goblins. In fact, about 70% of their members are from other races, but it’s just difficult to climb to a high position.”
Mo Tan is serious. He did some popular science, then looked up at the splendid ceiling of Liuli Pavilion Hall, and said with a half-smile: "I don't know how long this meeting will last, my time is precious."
"Fuck it." Well?"
Futaba looked at Mo Tan lazily and said, "Want to quit the game and watch a movie in the dead of night?"
"Don't bother, I don't even know what I can do."
Mo Tan shrugged, stuffed another dark pastry into his mouth, and took out a bottle of cocktail mana potion. Take a sip.
He is telling the truth, because until now, he has not been 'fragmented', so something may happen at any time during this period, which is a huge variable.
And he had a few very important things to do tonight, which made Mo Tan very sad.
You must know that his character has never been very good, so it is very likely that a situation that is difficult to end will occur...
The only response he could do was to pretend to be absent-minded and tell Futaba his first set of plans to ensure that even if he was disconnected, it would not affect the basic rhythm of tomorrow. The rest, he could only leave it to fate.
"Speaking of which, why don't you feel anything at all..."
Futaba suddenly frowned at this moment, looking at the third piece of Mo Tan with a suspicious look on his face. The pastry in my hand, about to stuff it into my mouth: "hard "Hold on?"
"What hold on?"
Mo Tan closed his mouth, which was wide enough to swallow the whole pastry, and blinked: "Are you talking about this homemade love dessert?" ?It tastes good.”
Yes, the thing Futaba gave to Mo Tan was the food she made by herself in the small kitchen of Liuli Pavilion. And this talented girl with great self-awareness knew very well that with her appalling cooking skills, even if she followed the recipe wholeheartedly, If you try hard to cook a dish, you will most likely end up with something that looks and smells strange, and if you cook it deliberately to make it taste unpalatable... …
【Unpalatable Black Cut Cake】
Producer: Futaba
Consumables
Use: Recover 5% within ten seconds Physical energy and 5% magic value are restored. There is a certain chance of triggering the [dry mouth] state, which reduces the upper limit of physical energy by 10% and lasts for ten minutes. It can be relieved by using a drink.
[Remarks: I deliberately added too much salt, pepper and chili pepper, and accidentally burned it, making it a generally unpalatable cut cake. 】
Judging from the item description of this thing, it is obvious that Futaba is deliberately messing with Mo Tan. To be honest, she did not have a lot of confidence at first. After all, according to the girl’s original plan, this The thing should have a good appearance, but the taste is particularly bad. As a result, because of her poor control over the heat, the cake was immediately burnt. In addition, Futaba felt that she brought it out by herself. Tan is very likely to be wary of reading the description of the item before eating it, and then refuse to eat it.
But Mo Tan didn’t seem to look at it. He seemed to be like many players who didn’t go out of their way to look at the descriptions of everyday items, such as chairs, rice, tea, etc., and the system didn’t always look at them. These things are displayed, otherwise everyone would just see data frames.
But what surprised the girl was that Mo Tan not only picked up the thing and stuffed it into his mouth, but also ate it with gusto. After a while, he actually picked up another piece...
< br>It wasn't until he picked up the third piece that Futaba's mentality finally changed from surprise to horror. After getting an unexpected answer, she picked up a small piece of unpalatable black cut cake in front of him and bit it. Take a bite.
Then...
"Bah!"
She spat out the bitter, astringent, spicy and a bit gray stuff, and looked at Mo Tan angrily. : "Asshole, you would go so far as to trick me into taking a bite!"
"What kind of process "The prefix for this thing is 'unpalatable', don't you think about it when you make it yourself?"
Mo Tan said leisurely, and then looked at the girl as if she had seen a ghost. Next I picked up another piece, stuffed it into my mouth, chewed it and sneered...
"Stupid woman, I am not acting, you are just a shallow person... you have never tasted real hell."
