Chapter 104 Private Intelligence Special Edition
"Going to Nylis's concert?"
"Well, don't think too much. I just want to thank you for saving my life." Xia said a little unnaturally.
"You're willing to give it to me? I remember you and Letilia spent 8,000 gold coins to buy it."
Xia felt a pang of pain when talking about this. She kept cursing Starlight Trading Company in her heart, asking why they had to auction all five pieces together. If they were auctioned one by one, the price might be much lower.
"Who is Nellis?" Meng Li asked puzzledly.
"You don't know Nerys either?" Xia looked at Luo Qiu and Meng Li as if they were alien creatures.
There are really few people in this era who don’t know Nellis, and yet she keeps running into them.
Meng Li shook his head honestly.
Xia: “…”
After trying very hard to educate Mengli on some common sense, Xia picked up the water cup and took a big gulp.
"Oh, it's the singer, Luo Qiu, I want to go see her!"
Meng Li nodded in agreement, grabbed Luo Qiu's sleeve, and said, "It sounds interesting, Luo Qiu, let's go together."
"No!" Xia immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"Why not?" Meng Li asked dissatisfiedly.
"I won't do it if I say no!"
A spark flashed in the eyes of the two girls again.
Feeling that the situation was about to get out of control, Luo Qiu hurried out to smooth things over.
"Well, Xia, I remember that you guys bought five tickets in total. There should be some left after Letilia's. How about I pay the price you paid for one?"
"Huh?" Xia was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Luo Qiu to say such a thing.
Her little head began to calculate rapidly.
According to the auction price, one ticket should be worth 1,600 gold coins, which is definitely an astronomical figure for ordinary people. However, after seeing Luo Qiu's abilities, Xia felt that he should still be able to come up with such a sum of money.
Well, it stands to reason that it would be fine to sell him one ticket. Xia had been having a headache recently about what to do with the extra tickets. Her parents would definitely not go to the capital with her, and Xidun Paradise could not do without them. As for the idea of selling them, Xia had thought about it, but ordinary people could not afford them. And the profiteers of Starlight Trading Company were only willing to pay 1,200 gold coins for the tickets. Xia was so angry that she almost bit her teeth. She would not do such a losing business.
That being said, she shouldn't refuse Luo Qiu, the sucker, when he made such a request at this time.
But the problem is that when Xia glanced at Mengli, her pretty face was full of a struggling expression.
Before Luo Qiu rescued her, Xia didn't have much feeling for him. She just thought that this adventurer who came from nowhere was very interesting. It was not until Luo Qiu and Letilia went on a date in Heaton Paradise that she really noticed this adventurer.
After experiencing the monster siege, Xia's feelings towards Luo Qiu changed again, and she developed a subtle emotion. Even Xia herself didn't know what the specific emotion was. The only thing that was certain was that she was in a bad mood seeing that stunning girl who also came out of nowhere and pestering Luo Qiu all day long.
On one side is his empty wallet, and on the other is his rival. Which side should he choose? Xia is completely stumped.
"The number of customers seems to have decreased a lot in the past two days. You should also want to make some money back."
Seeing Xia hesitant, Luo Qiu added fuel to the fire.
Xia's body trembled. Indeed, after the monsters attacked the city, many outsiders left in a hurry. Because of the impact of this incident, many merchants and adventurers from surrounding cities would rather take a detour than stay in Rozerow. Therefore, the business of Xidun Paradise was naturally affected. Thinking of her long-empty wallet, Xia gritted her teeth and said reluctantly, "I promise you."
A week later, outside the gate of Heaton Paradise, a carriage that looked quite majestic stopped at the gate of Heaton Paradise.
Luo Qiu, Meng Li and Xia were standing near the carriage, waiting for something.
"Why haven't you come yet?" Xia kicked the dirt on the ground boredly and kept looking into the distance.
"You seem to be in a good mood recently?" Luo Qiu asked.
When this was mentioned, Xia seemed to be in high spirits. She said with a smile, "Guess what the reason is. There will be a reward if you guess it right."
"Did you pick up gold coins?" Meng Li answered before Luo Qiu could speak.
Although they had not been together for a long time, even Mengli had discovered Xia's nature of being a money-grubber.
"Go to the street and pick up a gold coin and show it to me?" Xia rolled his eyes.
"Hmm, that means someone gave you a tip recently." Meng Li said very confidently.
"Not really. There haven't been many customers lately."
Xia smiled proudly and said, "You can't guess it, haha, I'll tell you."
"I take it you sold the last concert ticket?"
Shia: “.”
"How did you know?" Xia rushed forward, grabbed Luo Qiu's collar, and asked viciously: "Did you hear about it from Letilia a long time ago?"
"Take your hands away." Meng Li separated Xia and Luo Qiu with dissatisfaction, and then did not forget to help Luo Qiu straighten his collar that was messed up by Xia.
"How come you are so strong?" Xia stared at Mengli with murderous eyes. It was really unpleasant to see her intimate contact with Luo Qiu.
But Xia was also very strange. Every time she had a little contact with Luo Qiu, Mengli would always jump out and pull her away, as if declaring his sovereignty. The key point was that every time Xia wanted to resist, she would feel an irresistible force coming from Mengli's delicate and flawless little hands, making Xia unable to resist.
"Really? Why don't I think so?" Meng Li tried hard to look innocent and blinked.
Even if he has lost most of his power, a true vampire is still a true vampire. A magician of Xia's level is no different from an ordinary human child in front of Meng Li.
"Hmph, Supergirl." Seeing Mengli pretending, Xia was too lazy to care about anything else. She continued to ask Luo Qiu: "Third-rate adventurer, you still haven't told me how you knew I sold another ticket."
"It's very simple. Excluding the two possibilities mentioned by Meng Li, I can only think of this last one."
"Is this possible?" Xia was stunned.
"By the way." Luo Qiu smiled mischievously: "What is the reward you just mentioned?"
"The reward is 'Letilia's Private Intelligence Special Edition!' How is it? Are you happy? Are you excited?"
"Are you sure?" Luo Qiu's face looked a little strange.
"Of course." Xia confidently took out a notebook from somewhere, held it high, and said as if showing off: "Everything you want to know is in it."
However, before the notebook could be delivered to Luo Qiu, it was snatched away by someone.
At the end of the fourth chapter, I would like to say one more thing weakly, asking for recommendation votes and collections~~ After being so diligent today, will I be scolded if I become a one-update beast tomorrow (thank you book friends Zhenghonghuang Shumi and Nidhogg for the rewards, thank you!)
