Nolan, Hearthstone Tavern.

After Qiao Xiu returned to the Hearthstone Tavern, a large pile of bills was piled up on Qiao Xiu's desk waiting for Qiao Xiu to check it.

"Ciri, want to hear me tell you a joke?"

Qiao Xiu flipped through the bills that Lady Marlena had recently sorted out, and said to Ciri, who was practicing drawing in the other corner of the study.

After the Purple Man returned to Nolan, he began to mentor Ciri again, and recently Ciri's learning content is... Oil in painting.

Ciri was in his study at this point, gesturing to a large canvas.

Over time, a postmodern abstract painting appeared on the canvas.

Ciri has become so used to the drawing tools on the magic web lately that she has almost forgotten how to adjust the colors of the oil paint.

Wrong... If Qiao Xiu remembers correctly, Ciri has never studied oil painting at all.

"What joke?"

Ciri looked up at Qiao Xiu, her cheeks already stained with oil paint of various colors.

"I don't have the money to pay the prize money for the winner of the Holy Spirit Race."

The moment Qiao Xiu said this, Ciri just touched the brush on the canvas with too much force, and the moment the brush stroke was slashed downward, the whole painting was immediately destroyed.

"It's not a joke, it's a ghost story!"

Ciri didn't want to care about the failure, and immediately ran to the front of Qiao Xiu's desk, and slapped his paint-stained hands on Qiao Xiu's desk.

"So I'm going to start saving now." Qiao Xiu said.

"Start saving now? 300,000 gold coins ......"

Ciri immediately folded her hands and counted them for a long time, and finally gave up counting this huge fortune that she couldn't get in exchange for a hundred that she couldn't get in exchange for a hundred packs.

"Why don't we secretly change the bonus to 30,000 now? Wrong... Let's just 3,000 gold coins. "Ciri came up with a brilliant solution.

"Hmm... I've started saving. ”

Qiao Xiu took out a pocket watch from under the drawer of his desk, and the second hand just finished one lap and began to walk the second lap again.

"Three hundred thousand gold coins! How long will it take! ”

Ciri has been by Qiao Xiu's side for so long, and her concept of money has increased, and she doesn't have to feel distressed when she eats meat every time she eats in the future.

Her usual expenses are earned by working for Qiao Xiu.

To sum up, the above Heri is very easy to raise.

"Hmm... At the current rate, you should be able to save up in four hours. ”

Qiao Xiu put down the stopwatch in his hand, and at the time that Ciri was complaining just now, the stopwatch had already gone through a full circle.

"Four hours..."

"Warcraft sales have increased about tenfold, and that number continues to rise."

Qiao Xiu held the Holy Spirit Competition, the ultimate purpose is to promote the game of the Demon Net, judging from the current increase in the sales of Warcraft, it may usher in the situation of Nolan National Warcraft in the near future.

"Ciri, let's have a little celebration."

"Celebrate... Dinner? ”

When Ciri heard this, he glanced at the oil paint on his hands, and subconsciously wiped it on his body before realizing that it couldn't be wiped clean.

"I'll take a shower later!"

Ciri tossed his oil-stained coat to Johew and ran straight to the bathroom.

"It's been so long, it's still the Cinderella when I met for the first time......"

Qiao Xiu smelled the fragrance left on Ciri's coat, exactly the same as the fragrance on her body when he first met her.

Even though she is now an apprentice of the Purple Cloak, that impoverished attribute still hasn't changed.

…………

The filming scene of the Sage Forum.

"Qiao Xiu!"

The Man in Yellow is the keynote speaker today, and the content is "The Practicality of the Magic of the Thundering System".

The yellow-clothed man who was checking the manuscript threw down the manuscript in his hand the moment he saw Qiao Xiu come in, and directly rolled up his sleeves and came to Qiao Xiu.

Judging from the expression of the man in yellow, he was ready to fight with Qiao Xiu.

"Ever since you posted about the Holy Spirit Contest on the caster forum yesterday! The entire High School of Magic in Nolan has become a mess! ”

"A mess? Could it be that Chengdu skipped class to go... Played the game? Qiao Xiu asked in a low voice.

"Three hundred thousand gold coins! Those little guys have never seen so much money in their lives! Half of my morning inscription class didn't show up. ”

The Man in Yellow had never seen such a large-scale truancy.

When he was going to teach the magic apprentices himself a year ago, the apprentices had to arrive in the classroom a few hours early to find a seat.

His chief apprentice was addicted to the magic web game The Yellow Cloth could still bear it, but the influence of the 'Holy Spirit Invitation' issued by Qiao Xiu some time ago spread to the entire Nolan.

"I'm sorry for the impact."

When the man in yellow was about to reason with Qiao Xiu with his fist, Qiao Xiu's sincere apology made half of the anger of the man in yellow disappear instantly.

He had never liked this Chaos Demon.

The biggest reason why the man in yellow hates Qiao Xiu... Every time he had a difference of opinion with Qiao Xiu, he could always refute him with some words that seemed to be crooked in the man in yellow.

What angered the man in yellow the most was that these crooked theories were finally realized!

"The Magic Net game does have some bad effects."

Qiao Xiu, as a person from the earth, couldn't justifiably say to the man in yellow, "Even if you don't study, you can still get ahead by playing games." This kind of lie.

There is a difference between a truly capable pro gamer and someone who uses playing games as an excuse to escape reality.

"But I promise you... The tide of the Holy Spirit will soon fade, and those of your students will understand that trying to make money by playing with the Holy Spirit is more practical than learning alchemy to make money. Qiao Xiu said.

The man in yellow was really not used to Qiao Xiu's sincere appearance.

Now Qiao Xiu is so normal that he is a little scared......

"How long will it take for the tide to fade?"

The man in yellow still had a cold face, but the anger in his heart had subsided a lot.

He couldn't force Josius to ban the sale of the Holy Spirit, and his apprentice Sophia had made it clear to him that Empress Ekanna of the Iron Nation had seen the Holy Spirit as a new battleground.

"It's up to you to manage your apprentices."

"Management... Qiao Xiu helped me with this sealing enchantment. "The man in yellow suddenly thought of a way to sanction the little ones.

"Seals?"

"Once my apprentices step into my academy, they can't land the Holy Spirit, no! Can't log in to the magic web! An enchantment that can block the connection of the magic web. The man in yellow said.

"It's not that hard, I just need to get the World Tree to stop covering certain areas."

"I won't be able to log in to the Demon Net if I do this... There is no need to be in the whole college, some specific area inside the college, no, no, no... It only takes those little ones to be unable to log in to the magic net, and it will take some time. ”

As soon as the man in yellow heard that Qiao Xiu could implement his idea, his thoughts quickly spread.

Qiao Xiu listened to his muttering and felt that it wouldn't be long before the world's anti-addiction system would be online.

"That's... The Man in Yellow, before discussing this, could you use your academy as one of the venues for the Holy Spirit competition? ”

Qiao Xiu had been pretending in front of the man in yellow for so long, and at this moment he tentatively made this request.
