The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Tourists who choose to take the intercity highway are generally not too picky and can watch the movie with a ticket for the first floor. Tourists who choose the teleportation portal will usually book a box on the third floor in advance, and there shouldn't be any problem with that either.

The problem lies with the tourists who come by airship.

Unlike airlines on Earth, people in the Allen Federation usually buy round-trip tickets for their airships. Unless they plan to stay at their destination for an extended period, very few people buy one-way tickets.

Tourists who come to Locke City to watch movies by airship can be roughly divided into two types.

One type is like Kiki and her friends, who originally went to the neighboring Champs-Élysées town for fun, but only came to Locke City to watch a movie during their free time on the last day of their trip, and had to return the next day.

Another type is those who impulsively decide to go to the movies. These people have an even tighter schedule because they usually have to work the next day, much like those people on Earth who fly thousands of kilometers away to eat snacks.

In any case, their time was very tight. What was even more urgent was that the small city of Locke City did not have an airship airport. The nearest airship airports were Champs-Élysées and the capital of Calexca State, and the journey from the airship airport to Locke City would take some time.

In short, there wasn't enough time. Many people came to Locke City with great enthusiasm, only to find that they couldn't buy tickets for the second or third floor of the cinema.

Not everyone is like Kiki and her friends, who are Amelie's juniors. It's also difficult for ordinary middle-class people to get in through connections at Amelie's... So in the end, they either have to watch movies on the first floor with the poor people they look down on, looking at them with disdain, or they can only go back cursing and swearing that they will never come to this lousy place again.

In addition, many tourists who come to Locke City complain that the city has nothing to offer in terms of tourism except for movies.

Compared to shopping malls and consumer venues, Locke City is definitely not as good as those big cities.

In terms of natural scenery, it's no match for a resort town like the Champs-Élysées... Many people had nothing to do after watching the movie and complained that they felt they had missed out.

Amelie took these things and advice very seriously.

Because the vast majority of people who have these experiences are from the federal middle class, and the middle class is the largest customer group in Emerald's business plan... their experience must be improved in order to better harvest them.

After a moment's thought, Emery immediately took remedial measures.

The first step is to control ticket sales on the second floor of the cinema.

From this moment forward, tickets for the second floor of the cinema will no longer be sold without limit. Instead, 20% will be reserved for tourists from other places only, and they must present their airship tickets to purchase them. Otherwise, the seats will remain empty.

After all, those middle-class people were all fat sheep in Amelie's eyes. She had to make them feel comfortable and happy first before she could fleece them or even eat them.

Then we also need to manage those scalpers.

Originally, Emery intended to turn a blind eye to the scalpers of movie tickets, since those who were good at scalping were all locals, and many of them had some connection with Blue Star Films or the Baihe Gang, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get tickets.

That won't work now. No one can stop Emerald's business plans, not even movie ticket scalpers or people who are likely connected to her.

Emerald issued a strict order through the White River Gang: all scalping activities must cease immediately, or the violators will be executed.

Next up is Champs-Élysées.

Anyway, Batista's territory is now stable, and she has maintained a superficial peace with the other major gangs. The movie theater has already started site selection and construction, so there is nothing to fight for the time being.

Amelie then had Badit lead the White River Gang branch in Champs-Élysées to register a travel company there, whose main business was to transport tourists from Champs-Élysées to Locketown to watch movies.

Amelite will provide Badis with several large, magic-powered vehicles similar to buses, as well as two large crabs that she has always longed for, to protect the buses from monsters.

Previously, tourists like Kiki and her friends would travel from Champs-Élysées to Locke City in magical vehicles that resembled taxis.

Although there are almost no monsters on the road between Champs-Élysées and Locke City, and small magical vehicles traveling alone are quite safe, it is not absolutely safe. Large buses escorted by military vehicles would definitely be more reassuring, and even if the toll is a bit higher, tourists probably wouldn't mind.

Finally, there's the issue of Locke City itself.

Those tourists were right to complain. In terms of tourism, Locke City is currently only good for watching movies... After all, it was originally a city built because of that large copper mine.

But it doesn't matter.

Based on Blue Star's experience, what should a city do if it lacks both natural scenery and commercial shopping, but still wants to develop tourism?

Of course, it's about creating cultural landscapes.

Does Locke City have any cultural attractions? Yes, it does.

Emery immediately had the idea of ​​turning Locke City into a movie capital.

She immediately sought out Yulia and had her pose in various ways, resulting in a bunch of energetic photos.

He then consulted with several other trusted confidants and finally selected the best photograph, ordering the craftsmen to create a statue of Yulia based on that photograph.

The first step in building a film capital is to demolish the clock tower in the Civic Square and replace it with a 50-meter-high statue of Julia, and the square will be renamed Julia Square.

Just a few minutes' walk east of Julia Square, the original Locke City Museum was directly converted by Amelie into the Julia Museum.

Originally, the museum exhibited the stories and tools left behind when the prospecting team first discovered the large copper mine. Now, all of these have been moved to a newly built city museum on the outskirts of the city. This prime location only exhibits things related to Yulia.

There are the stools and desks that Yulia used when she went to school, her old school uniform and gymnastics uniform, her broken magical artifacts, her old exam report cards, and the most important exhibit—the integrated metal warehouse that Yulia used to deform and block the mine entrance when she was stopping the flood.

These items filled the newly renovated Julia Museum.

The guides at the Yulia Museum will prioritize recruiting Yulia's former classmates, especially the beautiful and well-proportioned female classmates. They will not only explain the exhibits to visitors, but also occasionally interject with their own memories of being classmates with Yulia, igniting the visitors' curiosity.

Since the Yulia Museum has been built, the site of the major events in the movie, the Velen Mine, should not be wasted. A tourist area could be built there with admission fees, allowing visitors to see firsthand the place where Yulia wept and created miracles from a slightly different distance.

Furthermore, the Federal Magic Engineering Academy in Locke City has also reached an agreement with Amelie to vacate the classrooms where Julia attended classes and the dormitories where she lived, and transform them into tourist attractions so that visitors with a pilgrimage-like spirit can pay to visit.

These are just the most basic things. As Yulia becomes more famous in the future, we can build more cultural attractions related to Yulia.

Moreover, it's not just Julia; Judy is also quite famous now. Judy also participated in the defense of the magic tide in Locke City, and the places where she led her subordinates in battle can also be transformed into tourist attractions for visitors to pay to visit.

In short, as long as the movie becomes a hit, there's no need to worry about the development of tourism in Locke City.

Even if cinemas are built throughout the entire Federation in the future, and people no longer need to travel to Locke City to watch movies, countless Yulia fans will still come to Locke City as tourists with a pilgrimage mentality.

"Yulia, you're practically my cash cow... Come here, give me a kiss~~"

After all the arrangements were completed, Emery stood on the roof of the Blue Star Film and Television Building, hugged Julia, whose face was flushed, and was about to kiss her.

"I...I don't want you to kiss me!"

Julia stiffened for a moment before turning her face away with great difficulty to avoid Emerald's kiss. She then frantically pulled away from Emerald's grasp and ran a few steps away.

"Hmph...Hmph, I only agreed to let you use me to make money in these ways to repay you for supporting my dreams, Emerald! I wasn't seduced by you. You can't possibly play with my body like you do with Marcy and Anna! Hehehe~~"

Perhaps it's true that you become like those you associate with, because Julia has now also learned the classic trick of the little devil, pulling her eyelids with her fingers and making a face at Emery to hide her shyness.

Heaven knows how difficult it was for her to refuse Amelie's kiss just now. At that moment, her lips and Amelie's lips were like two magnets with opposite poles. It took a lot of willpower for her to control her mouth from being pressed against Amelie's red lips... Moreover, this action seemed to consume a lot of energy. Yulia's heart was still beating very fast, her breathing was rapid, and her whole body was weak.

...Damn Emerald, what kind of magic is this?

While inwardly complaining, Julia didn't even dare to look at Emerald's slightly disappointed eyes. She was afraid that if she looked too much, she would soften and offer her lips back to Emerald for a kiss.

"I...I...I went on patrol!"

Yulia had no choice but to escape again, and hurriedly flew away:

“Recently, there have been more and more tourists from other places in our Locke City. Many people have also come here to do business and work because they have seen business opportunities. Many of them don’t know the rules, so I have to keep a close eye on them.”

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Yulia. I'll cook you something delicious when I get back tonight to treat you~~"

Emery then smiled gently and waved to cheer Julia on. Only after Julia had flown far away did her smile change again, turning into one of pride and satisfaction.

Clearly, the rules Julia was referring to were no longer about justice or federal law, but rather the rules that Emery had set for Locke City.

The subtle transformation that took place over this period was quite successful.

Yulia remains kind, but her definition of justice has subtly changed. It is no longer absolute justice, but rather a stable order, for she believes that maintaining order is maintaining justice.

As for the order of Locke City, it is entirely determined by Ameliete. Maintaining this order is tantamount to helping Ameliete exercise dictatorship.

Sigh... I'm such an idiot, I don't understand these things and I can't figure it out.

Yulia had always told herself this, and she had successfully convinced herself.

At least from Julia's perspective, everything in Locke City has been getting better since Emery took over the reins... Social order is quite stable, the crime rate is almost the lowest in the Federation, and the economy is booming.

As for how many bloody events were behind all this, Julia, who had already admitted to being a fool, didn't think she could find out, nor did she think that the beautiful and kind-hearted Emerald would do such things. That was enough for her.

However, Emerald still took to heart what Julia had just said.

In fact, Ameliete had already figured it out herself without Julia even having to say it.

As Locke City's economy continues to prosper, more and more outsiders will surely come, and it's not impossible that it will become a more prosperous city than even the capital of Calexca in the future.

As the market grows, the profits also increase, attracting more people.

Just like the White River Gang's advance into Champs-Élysées Town, there will definitely be outside forces attempting to enter Locke City, wanting a share of the pie.

This is something that Emerald absolutely cannot tolerate. She has already treated Locke City as her private garden, and any thief who sneaks in to steal flowers and plants must be killed.

With the support of Emerald, who can provide a large amount of military equipment, the Shirakawa Gang is absolutely fearless in the face of any gang's provocation.

However, Locke City is not Champs-Élysées Town; Locke City has Julia.

Even if Yulia's heart is biased now, she is still kind at heart. She can't just stand by and watch the White River Gang unilaterally slaughter outside gangs. She will most likely stop them, which will inevitably lead to a falling out with Emeralt.

Amelie didn't want to lower Julia's favorability over something so trivial; it wasn't worth it.

With the Baihe Gang's armed forces, it is possible to defeat outsiders without killing them.

But where does a gang that doesn't kill come from? Would those desperate thugs who aren't even afraid of death be afraid of getting beaten up?

Simply beating people up and kicking them out is far from enough; it won't deter those greedy people who want to take over the interests of Locke City.

Using methods more cruel than killing the other party to torture them as a form of deterrence would certainly be effective, but Yulia would definitely not stand idly by; this had already crossed her bottom line.

Therefore, the best solution would be one that would make those troublemakers disappear forever without harming their lives, and would also ensure that Yulia would never see them again.

Is there such a way?

Of course there is.

Emery quickly came up with an idea.

Besides mining, the Viren Copper Mine also facilitates the buying and selling of slaves.

The elven slaves that humans acquired from the elven kingdom were often the losers in the internal elven struggles, who were then sold off by the victors.

Similarly, what's wrong with selling some defeated gang members to the elves to serve those beautiful women who are hundreds or thousands of years old? It might even be a form of salvation for them.

Just as many elves have long enjoyed being slaves and toys to humans, some young men may have long wanted to serve beautiful elf women, and now all their desires can be fulfilled.

Chapter 127 The Melancholy of the Beauty Leader

Although no outside forces have entered Locke City yet, it's always good to be prepared, and Emery has always been this cautious.

It just so happens that the four survivors who escaped when Viliana massacred the elven slave black market are still living with the White River Gang. Emerald has raised them for so long; it's time for them to return to their old ways and work for her.

The reason these four people escaped with their lives was because they were liaisons for various caravans, specifically responsible for contacting buyers and sellers. Although their caravans were gone, they should still have connections in the elven kingdom. As long as a patron provides support again, they can easily return to their old ways.

Amelie immediately had the fat man bring the four men over. After a brief discussion, both sides reached an agreement: they were willing to be Amelie's dogs.

Just like what Fatty Wei said back then, it's not shameful to be a dog for Miss Merson. Some people would beg for it. If he doesn't want to, plenty of others will.

The slave traders were all true outlaws. The four men were never frightened by Viliana's bloody massacre and had long had the idea of ​​returning to their old ways. However, after taking refuge with the White River Gang for so long, they dared not leave without saying goodbye... They were all afraid that Amelie was too petty.

Now that Emery is willing to become their sugar daddy, everyone is naturally happy.

Through the close relationship between the Melson family and the military, Amelie easily purchased a decommissioned magical submarine, which was then used as a merchant ship for the newly established White River Shipping Company. She then tasked the four people with assembling a team to resume their old business.

This time, in addition to continuing to purchase goods from the Elven race, Baihe Shipping Company will also look for and seek out buyers from the Elven race, preparing for a future double-dipping strategy.

. . . . .

A month has passed since the Baihe Gang entered Xiangxieli Town to develop their business.

The newly established Baihe Travel Agency is doing brisk business, and a large cinema in the Bai gang's territory has officially started construction. The project is progressing quickly and is expected to open for business in about 20 days at most.

During this period, the Baihe Gang kept a low profile and did not cause any trouble with the other major gangs. The financial backers of those gangs and the FBI, which was monitoring the situation, breathed a sigh of relief.

However, some people simply cannot tolerate anyone challenging their authority, even if the challenger is Miss Myerson, whom they absolutely cannot defeat.

Emery's first step in expanding outwards was destined to be anything but easy.

That evening, at the largest theater in Champs-Élysées.

The stage lights shone brightly, and the background music was melodious. More than a dozen graceful women dressed in semi-transparent white gauze dresses and nylon bodysuits danced gracefully on the stage. Every movement was quite alluring and very captivating, making it a perfect combination of art and sex appeal.

The lead dancer was even more stunning. She looked a few years older than Emery, with smooth, shiny blonde hair as bright as the sun. Her tall, voluptuous figure moved gracefully, and her delicate face carried a haughty expression. There was always something about her that could hit you right in the face. It would not be an exaggeration to describe her as a top-tier beauty.

However, compared to her dazzling presence on stage, this beautiful woman was clearly not in a good mood after the performance.

"Goodbye, Captain..."

Even the other members of the dance troupe, who were usually as close as sisters, only dared to greet the beautiful woman in a weak voice before running away.

The beautiful woman simply nodded slightly, too lazy to even say a word, and hurried towards her office.

There was a middle-aged man drinking tea there. He first squinted and gave the beautiful woman a very lewd look from head to toe before smiling and speaking:

"I wonder what brings Commander Su Lina here tonight?"

"...You're asking a question you already know the answer to, Mr. Deputy Mayor!"

The beautiful Su Lina's voice was cold:
