Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

"What's so amazing?"

someone asked.

"It's getting air in."

The little girl put her finger back in her hand. She felt that the older brother must be a very powerful person, doing something very secret, just like in the storybooks, and decided to keep his secret.

……

Heap stared in disbelief as Luo Xiu burst through his window.

"Brother, why didn't you use the door?"

"That's more convenient."

Luo Xiu spoke, and before Xiu Pu could greet him, he plopped down on the only sofa in the living room.

"Boss, who's here?"

Fat Philip ran out of the room, carrying a paintbrush and wearing a paper sailboat hat.

"We're currently renovating and just moved, so we haven't had a chance to tell you yet."

Heap shook the broom in his hand.

"It's okay, I've already come looking for you."

Luo Xiu picked up an orange from the table and started peeling it:

"Looks like you've made some money this time."

Upon hearing Luo Xiu's words, Xiu Pu put down the broom, pulled up a chair and sat down next to Luo Xiu. He also picked up an orange from the table and began peeling it, slowly saying:

"I bet 500 gold coins on odds of 1:7.2."

"That's a lot of money."

Luo Xiu had Leila place a bet this time, but he wasn't quite sure how much to bet. Yesterday, both he and Leila were focused on Leila's trip to the Demon Bat Cave, and they had forgotten about this matter.

He looked up at Schup, noticed that Schup's expression hadn't changed, and nodded.

"Not bad, you've made so much money and you still manage not to show your joy."

Hup nodded, and immediately quoted a classic line:

"After all, I'm not the same naive young man I was back then. When I first came to the city, I didn't know anything. Now it's different. With the passage of time and the ups and downs I've experienced, I've matured completely. It's really not easy for me to get to where I am today through my own efforts."

"To be honest, after making money, I didn't feel happy at all; on the contrary, I felt a lot of pressure."

Luo Xiu remained silent. This guy's shamelessness was comparable to his own, no, it should be even greater than his own.

"Boss, didn't you happily drink five cases of cider last night, which is why you smashed everything in the house?"

Philip, standing to the side, widened his eyes and told the truth.

"..."

Heap fell silent, wondering if he should find a new underling.

Luo Xiu smiled; now he understood why he had suddenly decided to move.

"Brother, I have prepared what you asked for. The location of that person has been pinpointed, and the subsequent outcome has been predicted."

When Hup spoke, his attempt to change the subject was undeniably clumsy.

Luo Xiu put the orange in his mouth; it was quite sweet.

What happened to him afterward?

Luo Xiu spoke.

"died."

"How did you die?"

"do not know."

Luo Xiu felt that the orange in his mouth wasn't sweet anymore.

"Schup".

He spoke up, calling out to Hup, who was peeling an orange.

"what happened?"

Hup was taken aback.

"I can make predictions like yours too. I can make yours right now."

Luo Xiu smiled.

Heap sensed a terrifying aura emanating from Luo Xiu. He swallowed hard, handed the peeled orange to Luo Xiu, and chuckled.

"Hey bro, the prophecy did go a bit wrong. I don't know why. He might have something on him that could interfere with the prophecy. But don't worry, I've already found his location. I'll draw the map for you in a bit."

Seeing Huppert's obsequious grin, Luo Xiu sighed helplessly. Old White's eye for choosing brothers was alright, but his eye for choosing apprentices was really so-so. What kind of half-baked prophet did he pick?

However, obtaining Alger's position would barely meet the requirements, and Luo Xiu was about to nod in agreement when suddenly, he thought of something:

"If you give me a map, what if he moves while I'm on my way to find him?"

"There's no way to move it."

Hup helplessly shrugged:

"Unless I go with you and keep revising the results along the way, we can only use a map."

After he finished speaking, he noticed Luo Xiu's eyes flickering across from him, and he swallowed hard.

"Big brother, you're not thinking of taking me with you..."

"No, never mind."

After thinking it over, Luo Xiu shook his head. The place he was going to was very dangerous. As Old White's only student, who was also his junior, he was not prepared to take Xiu Pu on the adventure.

If something happens then, he, as an elder, won't be able to give an explanation.

But to his surprise, Hup's eyes lit up:

"Take me there! Take me there!"

Luo Xiu looked at Xiu Pu with some surprise. What's wrong with this kid? He used to avoid him like the plague, but now he's volunteering.

What Luo Xiu didn't know was that after successfully betting on him twice when he went to the dueling ring, he had come to regard him as a lucky star in his business career.

According to Uncle Huppert, every successful businessman will encounter a benefactor in the early stages, and as long as you maintain a good relationship with the benefactor, opportunities will continue to arise around him.

If you seize every opportunity, you can rise rapidly to the top.

Hup now believes that Luo Xiu is the benefactor on his road to success, so he decides to go wherever Luo Xiu goes.

He earned his first pot of gold by following Luo Xiu the first time, and several thousand gold coins the second time. He was certain that the third time would only bring him more. That's what he believed.

Luo Xiu hesitated for a moment:

"The place I'm going to this time is rather special..."

"It's just the inner city, I know that."

Heap patted his chest.

"The main issue is that the method of getting there is also quite unique..."

"It's alright, brother, I'm not afraid of hardship."

"Mainly because it's also quite dangerous..."

"It's alright, brother, I believe in you. I'll be fine with you!"

Luo Xiu had nothing to say and could only agree. Looking at Xiu Pu's excited expression, he sighed inwardly.

Old White, this time you really can't blame me, I tried my best...

The distant capital.

In the study.

White sneezed for no apparent reason.

He took out a handkerchief, blew his nose, and looked puzzled.

"Am I really getting old? Why am I sneezing again?"

Chapter 160 The White Duck on Rum Street (Contains the main storyline)

Along the narrow and long street, colorful dim lights shone through the glass windows of shops of all sizes, falling on the middle of the road and illuminating the night sky.

The interweaving of so many colors of light is not as dazzling as a rainbow, but rather like various pigments mixed on paper, eventually turning into a colorful black.

If young men and women who are still inexperienced walk along this street at night, they will most likely blush with embarrassment from the seductive music coming from the shops.

If you stand in front of a shop for a few seconds, the door will immediately open, and depending on your gender, a sexy dancer (or male) will stand inside and perform a provocative dance for you.

However, this is only a low-level tactic. Legend has it that deep within this street lies the true paradise on the outskirts of Kanriel, where, if you have enough gold coins, you can receive king-like treatment.

For example, in a shop at the far end of the street.

"Ah-"

Luo Xiu sneezed, ruining the eyeliner that the person next to him had just finished drawing.

"Excuse me."

Seeing that the woman in the silk robe beside him was about to get angry, Luo Xiu apologized in time:

"I'm so sorry, your perfume is too strong, I'm not used to it yet."

The woman beside him sighed, put down her pen, sat down, picked up her wine glass, and looked Luo Xiu up and down. She frowned slightly and muttered:

"Damn it, I ruined a work of art."

At this moment, Luo Xiu's appearance was completely different from before.

Originally, Luo Xiu's face had a more youthful air about it, but it was definitely not the cute type. Instead, due to his increased physique, he had more masculine energy. His delicate features, after being sculpted and refined by the killing intent on the battlefield, had a strange kind of beauty.

But now Luo Xiu's eyebrows and eyes are much thicker than before, and his face has a resolute spirit. His sword-like eyes and bright eyebrows are like a sword drawn from its sheath. But when his expression is relaxed and his eyelids droop, he is like a steady mountain, calm and composed in the face of change.
