Chapter 2272 The Tavern Owner Under Control (Subscription Request)

In the small park, Miaomiao drew a hopscotch map on the ground.

While drawing, he explained to Gu Xi how to play hopscotch in Changzi City.

Gu Xi knew that this might be the key to whether he could enter the underground of Changzi City.

So even though this was a toy for children, Gu Xi still studied it seriously and even played with it in the park with Miaomiao.

Small parks are actually not uncommon in Changzi City. Many people will go to the park for a stroll when they have nothing to do.

When they saw Gu Xi and Miao Miao playing hopscotch there, they did not come over to disturb them. Instead, they smiled knowingly from a distance and thought Gu Xi and Miao Miao were a couple.

In fact, they didn't know that at this moment, Gu Xi's mind was not on Miaomiao, but on recalling the rhythm and appearance of the tavern owner jumping under the street light.

It was obvious that the boss was using the street lights as a hopscotch map.

It is obvious that the rhythm of the boss's dance is exactly the same as the rhythm of Miaomiao's dance.

But Gu Xi couldn’t jump to the point.

Feeling somewhat helpless, Gu Xi simply gave Miaomiao two more gems and asked Miaomiao to personally take Gu Xi to play hopscotch here.

At least let Gu Xi play this game clearly.

Although she didn't know what Gu Xi wanted to do, for the sake of the two gems, Miaomiao could be said to have done her best.

She didn't care about other people's attention to her. As soon as Gu Xi made a mistake, she would immediately start over with Gu Xi.

That attitude is like dragging your boyfriend to play in the park.

Because someone was leading him, Gu Xi quickly combined the rhythm of the nursery rhyme with the movements of hopscotch.

As the sky gradually darkened, Gu Xi said to Miaomiao.

"I feel like I'm almost done. Do you still want to go to work today?"

Miaomiao's face turned red, she understood that Gu Xi was asking her if she wanted to do a part-time job.

So Miaomiao shook her head immediately.

“No, I have collected quite a few gems in the past two days, so I can stay at home for a month or two.

If possible, I plan to take this opportunity to play the game and see if I can level up."

"Oh, I can't believe you're such a hard-working kid."

"I can't help it. I'm getting married soon, so I have to upgrade my level and get rid of some bad marks on my body."

Miaomiao spoke casually.

When he heard this, Gu Xi couldn't help but blinked, as if he wanted to ask, is what she said what he thought?

Upgrading has such an effect?
Perhaps she saw what Gu Xi was thinking, Miaomiao's face turned red and she punched Gu Xi on the shoulder.

"what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, really nothing."

After the laughter and joking, Miaomiao finally stayed with Gu Xi for a while, until the sky gradually darkened and the street lights were turned on again, then she found an excuse to leave.

Gu Xi looked up at the street light and made a quick decision in his mind.

Let's try tonight to see if our guess is correct.

See if you can find a way to enter the underground world of the Firstborn City.

Of course, Gu Xi must take care of everything in Changzi City.

Just now, Gu Xi received a reminder from the orange-clad guard, the new Nine-Tailed Fox, that when he was learning hopscotch in the small park, he was inspected at least three times.

It had only been a few hours, and he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, yet he was targeted.

If he revealed anything different, he would be unable to move in the City of the Firstborn.

So for some things, it is better to do them earlier.

After staying in the small park for a while, Gu Xi quickly thought about how he could complete hopscotch without making any noise by following the light and shadow of the street lamps.

The calmness here refers to not being regarded as a weirdo. Thinking of this, Gu Xi set his sights on the tavern again.

It is actually understandable that on the way back home after having a great time drinking, people would jump back under the lights.

Anyway, he has used the small hotel as an excuse several times, so Gu Xi doesn't mind this time.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi stood up and walked towards the tavern.

Gu Xi had already made up his mind at this time. He would go to the pub and have a couple of drinks. Then he would pretend to be drunk and when there were not many people around, he would play hopscotch on the deserted street under the shadows of the street lamps.

After jumping, we went straight back to the express hotel to rest.

Let’s see if today will be affected and whether we can follow the boss’s path to enter the underground of Changzi City.

With this thought in mind, Gu Xi's steps became noticeably lighter.

However, when Gu Xi arrived at the tavern, he found that something seemed wrong.

Something seemed to be missing from the tavern.

Gu Xi looked up and saw that it had darkened a lot. At the same time, the tavern had already started to serve business, and many guests had already taken their seats to eat and drink.

Except for Old Wang who couldn't come out these few days, all the other regular customers sat in their seats and ate the same food that hadn't been eaten for thousands of years.

It seems to be no different from before.

Gu Xi looked around with a puzzled look on his face, then glanced at the tavern again. At this moment, Gu Xi's eyelids twitched.

Some of the things the boss had carved out of golden pine were missing.

Gu Xi thought for a moment, then found a table and sat down, saying to the boss, "Boss, please bring eight ounces of wine first, and grill ten skewers of venison and tiger meat each.

Five bunches of leeks and a dozen oysters.

This is it for now, if it’s not enough, I’ll order more later.”

The boss glanced at Gu Xi, raised his hand, and placed a wine glass on Gu Xi's desk.

At this time Gu Xi suddenly asked.

"Boss, do you think this place seems a little empty?"

The place that Gu Xi pointed to was the place where the boss had placed his sculptures before.

The boss turned his head and his eyes seemed a little blurry.

"Really? I don't feel anything. How could there be a vacant position?"

Just enough space for a bucket of wine."

The boss's reaction was clearly wrong.

If Gu Xi had not been able to confirm that the boss in front of him had not changed in appearance, people would have suspected that he had become a different person.

It seems something must have happened today.

Do you want to try it again?
An idea suddenly came to Gu Xi's mind.

Just as Gu Xi was about to speak again, the special bracelet on his left wrist moved slightly.

The flame of the spiritual lamp appeared beside Gu Xi.

This little flame made Gu Xi’s mind clear.

The boss was affected by psychic power.

Gu Xi made a judgment in his mind at the first moment.

But there is no way to remind the boss about this.

Gu Xi looked at the wine glass that had just been filled with wine and suddenly smiled in his heart.

This might be a solution.

"Boss, this is for you."
