That place is a great place to cultivate, but that doesn't mean it's a good place.

There are not only terrifying octopuses, but also strange huge formations, and the strength is not enough to break through the thunder and lightning defense layer above the sky and cannot leave, and you may be trapped in that ghost place for the rest of your life.

But think about it, if it weren't for the fact that I had been trapped in that place for so many years this time, my cultivation was estimated to be still in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, and I would have reached the peak of supporting death, and I couldn't have more. It's a kind of luck to be trapped there, and there are many cultivators who want to have it yet.

"Hey, what do you mean by that huge octopus?

Shadow suddenly gave him a blank look: "We've all walked so far, do you think it's easy to go back?"

Li Dadi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Haha, yes, I also admire you, if I am trapped in that kind of place, I will probably start studying the huge octopus and the formation that binds it day and night, maybe it is also a breakthrough, and if I don't get it, I can find some secrets." ”

Lao Wang: "Come on, do you still want to have both?"

Tian Youqing was surprised: "Amazing, really powerful, with your cultivation, I must be even bigger when we leave, at least it will be safe." ”

"That's right, Yuanying is at the peak, I really can't imagine it, I'm still in the late stage of Jindan, and I haven't reached the peak. Qin Dantong said with a smile.

After a brief chat with everyone, Li Dadi shouted that he hadn't had a dinner party for a long time, so he went to the kitchen to prepare wine and dishes, and wanted to have two drinks with everyone.

At this time, whether it was me or everyone present, it was basically a thousand cups.

The wine and food were served, and there were more and more wine bottles around, and everyone was chatting freely.

After a meal, Lao Wang and Tian Youqing also returned to their home next door, and Qin Dantong also began to clean up the yard.

Li Dadi forced out the smell of alcohol, and after sobering up, he said: "The house over there is gone, so it's better to find a place to live here first, and at the end of the month, you can go directly to the trial ground." ”

"No, I'll just go over there and wait. ”

I took out a piece of talisman paper and handed it to Li Dadi, "This is for you, the messenger." ”

Li Dadi's subordinates nodded: "Okay, then when are you going to leave?

"Probably not, now that Yueyue girl has also begun to cultivate, let's talk about it when her cultivation gets up a bit, these days I can also go to various major sects, learn some refining methods, help me or everyone refine some good equipment, as a cultivation." ”

"Okay, then you can go, say hello if you have something, we have been staying here lately, and occasionally go to retreat in the mountains to the south. Li Dadi raised his hand and pointed in one direction.

I glanced over there and nodded, "Cheng, I'll see you then." ”

Leaving here, I headed straight in the direction of the entrance to the proving grounds.

With the current repair, it is really very fast, thousands of miles is not a distance at all, and it does not consume much time.

I stopped in the city closest to the entrance to the proving ground, found the best hotel in the area, and stayed in the city, having not lived in the city for a long time, and in the few days before the opening of the proving ground, I took a break.

I haven't been back for half a century, and I find that life in this city really needs to be adapted, and all kinds of modern things need to be understood, otherwise it really seems a little ignorant.

At night, Zhou was on the street, looking at the vehicles and pedestrians coming and going on the road, and there were not many waves in his heart.

In the past, I would feel like I was in a dream, but after a long time, it felt like that, it was nothing more than my personal strength was higher, but maybe a guy like myself was a very ordinary existence in other worlds.

As I walked, the shadow suddenly pulled me.

I looked back at Shadow, who raised her hand and pointed across the road and said, "Milk tea, I haven't drunk this for a long time, buy this!"

"Let's go. I smiled and walked towards the zebra crossing on the side.

The name of this bubble tea shop is Jelly Bean, and the store is not large, and there are only two tables in it to sit and drink, but fortunately, there are no customers in the store at this time.

After entering the store, the owner of the bubble tea shop hurriedly got up and asked, "Do you want something to drink?"

The shop is small, and there are few people, so there is only one person, and there is no garbage in the trash cans on the side, so it doesn't look very prosperous.

I said, "Two cups of plain, big." ”

"Okay, but it's freshly brewed in our shop, it may take a little time, okay?" explained the bubble tea shop owner.

"Of course. ”

I sat down directly on the side and watched the shopkeeper, who was still a little young, start to get busy.

I've drunk freshly brewed milk tea, and I've drunk some of it when I've traveled around the world, and it does taste a little better than the semi-finished product, at least that's what I think.

After waiting for ten minutes, two cups of milk tea were delivered.

I picked it up and took a sip, nodded involuntarily, and said to the shopkeeper, "It tastes good." ”

"It's delicious, it feels similar to what we drank at TW that time. ”

Shadow nodded her head repeatedly, but she only tasted it quietly, because the shop was so small, and she didn't want the young girl to see anything she shouldn't see.

The shopkeeper said helplessly: "It's really delicious, otherwise I wouldn't have opened such a shop, but I may not be able to hold on." ”

After saying that, she smiled, "I'm sorry." ”

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, but why can't you make such a delicious milk tea?"

I'm a little puzzled, isn't it true that as long as things are done well, business should be good? Could it be that something wonderful has changed in the more than half a century since I left?

"Thank you, but that's true, there are a few regular customers, but many people just leave when they hear that they have to wait for a long time. "The shopkeeper looked a little lonely.

"Then why not make some ahead of time?"

"No, that will affect the taste of milk tea, and it will get worse. ”

"Looks like you're pretty disciplined. I smiled.

"What's the use of rigor, it's not efficient, if you can't keep up with the rhythm, you'll still be eliminated. The shopkeeper smiled, "I'm sorry to let you listen to me." ”

She nodded to me, then sat down at the bar, boredly scrolling through her phone.

Ying Er looked over, then floated over and drank two sips of milk tea, muttering: "It's a pity that such a milk tea shop can't be opened, she is also too few people, if there are more people, the store is bigger, and the environment is better, there should be a lot of people willing to wait for such a cup of delicious milk tea." ”

"Normal, don't you see that those people on the street are coming and going in a hurry? Now I am afraid that we have completely entered the era of fast food, people have expensive time, they don't want us, they have to face a lot of pressure in life. ”

"Then brother, give me some investment, keep this shop, and I want to drink it when I come back from the trial ground this time." The shadow blinked, smiling.

I raised my eyebrows: "That's too presumptuous, isn't it?"

Suddenly I said to a stranger that I want to support you to expand your scale and continue to do the business that is about to be unsustainable, I guess people will think of themselves as liars.

"No, I'm willing to buy it. ”

"Yes. ”

I nodded slightly, but I was not in a hurry, and continued to drink milk tea.

The shadow drank the milk tea and then burrowed back into my arm.

I finished the milk tea, then got up and went to the bar and knocked on the table.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then got up and pointed to the payment code: "Here." ”

After I gave the money first, I said, "The milk tea is delicious, you can make me ten more cups, and I'll take it away." ”

"Huh?"

"Why?

"No, no, okay, I'll sit down right away!"

The young shopkeeper seemed to have encountered a big business, and immediately answered the call and began to get busy.

Watching her busy back and forth, she is not only short of manpower here, but also insufficient equipment or anything, but the materials used are good enough, no wonder they are quite expensive.

It doesn't matter if it's expensive, it's all good.

The milk is pure, the tea is boiled directly, and the sugar is white sugar, so it's no wonder that there are only a few flavors on her menu.

"By the way, you don't need much money to open this little shop, do you?" I asked casually.

The owner of the store responded: "Well, it's just that the store rent is a little expensive, and the rest doesn't cost much money. ”

After saying that, she turned around and smiled at me, "I can't hold it anymore, I can't earn the rent." ”

"Is the shop expensive now?"

"Of course, you see that my small shop is less than ten square meters, and it costs 5,000 yuan a month, and the location is not a good location, do you say it is expensive? ”

"Haha, that's right, the flow of people here is indeed a bit miserable. I smiled, "Hey, I have a proposal." ”

"Huh?" the shopkeeper looked at me with some confusion, "What proposal?"

"Don't close the shop, I'll want to drink it next time I come." I said with a smile.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "I can't hold on, but I can teach you, you can do it yourself at home, you see, it's very simple, just master the proportion." ”

I waved my hand: "I don't have this spare time, I mean you don't have to close this store, you can't look for a job if it's closed?"

"Please, this big brother, I'm going to run out of food, and I'll start asking for food if I keep going. The shopkeeper couldn't help but chuckle, "Giggles, but thank you for the compliment, I like this milk tea so much, but this shop is estimated to close next month, go make money first, and then make plans when you have money in the future." ”

"It's optimistic. ”

"What can you do if you're not optimistic? ”

"I'll raise you. I said it casually, but after I finished speaking, I blushed, knowing that I had said the wrong thing, but I didn't rush to change it.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, looked back at me with some surprise, and was suddenly a little embarrassed: "It's a little inappropriate for you to say such things when we meet for the first time? Although I don't have a boyfriend yet, you are quite handsome, but I don't even know your name, it's not appropriate." ”

I laughed: "Don't get me wrong, girl, I'm joking with you, I mean, I'll give you money, and you keep doing it, but even if this small shop is over, there won't be any good business in the future, even if you do it well, it won't help." ”

"Huh?" she was stunned for a moment, "You give me money to keep doing it?"

"Because I'm going to want to drink it next time. I shrugged, this is probably the boring act of the 'rich man', it is all because of the words of the shadow.

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's it. I nodded.

"That, that......"

I pointed to the boiling tea: "You are busy first, when your ten cups of milk tea are finished, let's sit down and say, you can rest assured, I don't want to plot anything against you, I have a wife and children, and I usually don't be so idle." ”

With that, I sat back in my seat and looked at the new phone that had just arrived and had not yet been warmed up.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a while, and then quickly made it again.

It took half an hour for her to finish ten cups of milk tea and put it in front of me.

I put the milk tea aside and pointed to the opposite place from me, and the shopkeeper walked over in disbelief, looked around, and the first thing I said when I sat down was that I suspected that I was playing with her anymore.

"Don't get me wrong, you see, I don't even know your name until now, and I don't want to know, you can always rest assured, right?" I smiled and continued: "I don't care how big you make the store in the future, I only have one request, the milk tea sold in the store in the future should also be like what you make today, every cup must be attentive, and you can't cut corners, oh yes, don't open any branches, it will distract you." ”

"Uh......" The shopkeeper was a little dumbfounded: "Are you joking with me again?"

"Don't believe me?" I frowned.

The shopkeeper shook his head suddenly, with the expression that you are a liar.

I paid for the ten cups of milk tea first, then reached into my pocket and wiped them, took out two small gold bricks from the storage ring, and put them directly on the table.

I pointed to the two gold bricks, which add up to ten kilograms, and said, "Do you know what this thing is?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, "Gold bars?"

"You call this thing a gold bar?" I smiled bitterly, "Is it that big gold bars now? Shouldn't this be called gold bricks?"

"Gold brick?!" The shopkeeper suddenly gasped: "Oh my God, is this true or fake?"

"You won't pick it up and try it?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then picked up a piece: "It's so heavy!"

"That's right, these two gold bricks are almost ten kilograms, and I don't bother to calculate how much they are worth. You close the shop here, you can change to a more suitable location, you don't need many hot areas, but the place should be bigger, the decoration should be refreshing and quiet, so that people can feel very relaxed when they come in, and you don't care about the quality of business, can you do it?" I asked.
