……
Luo Xiu landed on Mamen Street and, looking at the familiar cubicle shops around him, quickened his pace.
Soon, he arrived in front of Haha.
"Haha, Your Excellency."
Luo Xiu didn't knock on the door first, but instead shouted "Haha!" to wake him up.
Since Tata announced his seclusion, Haha has had a lot of free time and spends most of his time sleeping, with a lot of drool dripping from his doorstep.
"Hmm...hmm...Lord Luo Xiu?"
Haha, I was still half asleep and even thought I was dreaming.
Haha only woke up as if from a dream when Luo Xiu said he had received news that Tata had woken up.
It closed its eyes, probably to communicate with Tata behind the door and confirm something.
Soon, it opened its eyes again, its expression respectful:
"Lord Luo Xiu, Lord Tata is waiting for you in the reception room."
"See you later, Your Excellency Haha."
Luo Xiu nodded, pushed open the door and walked in, quickly arriving at the reception room.
Tata didn't sit on the sofa waiting for him as usual, but stood by the window with her back to him.
The windows were covered by layers of thick, dark red curtains. It seemed that Luo Xiu had never seen the curtains open since he first entered the reception room.
"coming."
Tata spoke, her tone as calm as ever:
"I saw it, it's very good."
"Thank you teacher for the compliment."
Luo Xiu bowed in greeting.
"I promised to make you a Tier 5 item, and it's almost ready now."
Tata didn't mention the previous duel again, but instead brought up a topic that excited Luo Xiu.
Having witnessed the effects of the [Hand of Creation], Luo Xiu now has a new understanding of the power of fifth-tier items. With the impending crisis in Kanriel, he also hopes to further enhance his strength.
"But this prop is missing two materials, which you will need to find yourself."
Tata turned around:
"This was already agreed upon when I promised you."
"no problem."
Luo Xiu nodded:
"Teacher, please tell me how to get the materials, and I'll go find them right now."
"Both of these materials are not far away, but it will be quite difficult to obtain them."
Tata slowly opened his mouth:
"They are all in the inner city."
Chapter 158 Three Paths
Inner city area?
Luo Xiu's heart stirred; his original plan was also to go to the inner city to kill the mushroom monsters.
Once Shoep pinpointed Alger's location, he was ready to set off immediately to see what the so-called "golden casino" was all about.
Now that my teacher says the materials for the fifth-tier items are also in the inner city, it coincides with my own thoughts.
"No problem, teacher, I've already earned the points for going to the inner city."
Luo Xiu spoke, his voice firm.
This time, when he goes to the inner city, he wants to improve his strength as much as possible and try to get closer to the fifth rank. Even if he can't defeat them, he should be able to hold out against a fifth-rank opponent for a while.
"You can no longer use points to get a spot in the inner city."
Tata spoke, revealing a startling piece of news.
The passage to the inner city using points is about to be closed, so even if Luo Xiu wanted to use points to exchange for qualifications, he could no longer do so.
Luo Xiu was stunned. How could this happen so suddenly?
The points redemption feature, which was working perfectly fine, was suddenly shut down, and so abruptly at that.
But Tata didn't explain; instead, she said:
"Although the points channel is closed, the points are not useless. Someone will come over later. He owes me a favor. You can use your points to exchange for some things with him. He has some good stuff. Don't hold back. Try your best to get him to agree to exchange for some good things."
"Moreover... there is more than one way to enter the inner city. Besides redeeming points, there are three other ways to do so."
"...Which three?"
Luo Xiu blinked. Through his [sense], he saw that his teacher seemed somewhat gloating, and a bad feeling crept into his heart.
“You asked me before what was in the inner city. I remember telling you that there was only a broken river, a dilapidated garden, a big ditch, and a run-down casino.”
"If you enter the inner city using points, you will arrive at the residential area next to that dilapidated garden."
"Besides redeeming points, you can also start from the remaining three locations."
"Or, I'll give you a map of the Warlock's River. You can find the upper reaches of the Warlock's River on the outskirts and dig down to the underground river. After that, follow the river downstream to the inner city."
Luo Xiu blinked; this seemed like illegal immigration.
However, it's not impossible... After eating the Sea Blue Fruit, and then refining some water affinity potions, perhaps I can swim across.
"You don't need to swim there. There's a path along that broken river that can accommodate two or three people."
Tata seemed to have figured out what Luo Xiu was thinking and spoke up.
"It's just not easy to dig. The soil above the Warlock's River has been reinforced, and that broken river is hidden very deep. If you dig off-center, it may take ten days to half a month."
As soon as Tata finished speaking, Luo Xiu immediately rejected the plan.
In ten days or half a month, the mushroom disease will have infected countless people. Moreover, the demon bats are also watching closely. If these things suddenly erupt after I go in, I will really be in a situation where I can't take care of everything.
"The second option is to go to Rum Street, where someone will meet you, help you disguise yourself, and quickly promote you to be the top star. Then you can be selected and sent to the inner city to make money at the casino."
After hearing the second plan, Luo Xiu felt that this method was more reliable than the first one.
After all, she had a knack for massage, so she wasn't afraid of being exposed once she became the top performer.
If he encountered a woman with a large build, like Mrs. Chelsea, he would give her some kind of potion to make her have a good dream.
Moreover, it allows direct access to the casino where you can make money, which sounds great no matter how you look at it.
The black mist surrounding Tata surged. He had originally planned to scare Luo Xiu away with the first two plans, but he didn't expect that his obedient student seemed to be interested in the second plan.
How could this be? He had a headache. If it were discovered that his Tata students had gone to Mammon Street to act as prostitutes, he would be laughed to death.
Thinking of this, he coughed lightly twice:
"The third option is much easier than the first two. It is to go to the scrap metal street, where people collect alchemical waste every few days. The waste needs to be transported to the inner city and dumped into that big pit."
"There are people there to help you. Go over there, do some simple disguise, and deliver the goods."
"How about it?"
After speaking, Tata, shrouded in black mist, looked at Luo Xiu with some anticipation, hoping that her student would make the most correct and dignified choice.
At this moment, Luo Xiu was indeed thinking. He was surprised to find that his teacher, who usually kept a low profile, actually had quite a network of connections, with people in both Rum Street and Scrap Gold Street.
Have you thought it through?
Tata asked again.
"Hmm?" Luo Xiu looked up, then immediately nodded:
"I've made up my mind! I choose..."
……
Luo Xiu was blasted out, and the black mist on Tata's body enveloped him and slapped him outside the door.
"Lord Luo Xiu?"
Haha's big eyes were filled with doubt as she looked at Luo Xiu, who was lying on the ground:
"What are you...?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing."
Luo Xiu got up from the ground and dusted himself off:
"My teacher hasn't seen me in so long, I'm a little excited."
Actually, she was more than just excited. Upon hearing Luo Xiu's choice, Tata didn't even want Luo Xiu to stay in the reception room and wait for the "guest" to come and exchange the items. Instead, she told Luo Xiu to give her all the points and go exchange them himself.
"The teacher is still too old-fashioned..."
Luo Xiu sighed.
"Really? I always thought he was a radical."
A familiar voice came from beside him. Luo Xiu was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Hermes' face wearing a black and white mask.
"Hey, young man, we meet again."
Hermes smiled and extended his hand, which was covered in a pure white glove.
Faced with the enthusiastic greeting from this hidden big shot, Luo Xiu didn't know what to say, so he could only extend his hand and shake hands with Hermes gently.
"Good boy, it's a pleasure to meet you and to witness such a wonderful match today."
Hermes withdrew his hand and looked at the haha on the door:
"My dear Lord Haha, may I go in?"
After receiving Haha's permission, Hermes waved to Luo Xiu and pushed open the door to enter Tata's house.
