On the 5500th floor of the Ring Fort, Softie's Tooth Dye Shop.
Angor and Laplace's consciousness had returned to their bodies.
However, even though their consciousnesses had returned, the heavy atmosphere surrounding them still did not ease.
The owner of the shop, Pelucci, happened to pass by and saw an "illusion" covering the window near Angor's shop. He wanted to ask about it. However, before he could step forward, the heavy atmosphere made it so that he didn't dare to make a sound. He quietly retreated, and only after returning to an empty counter did he dare to take a deep breath.
When the door of the shop was pushed open, the heavy atmosphere finally eased.
It was a red-skinned Pelucci who walked in. He was shorter than the shop owner and could only reach Angor's waist. He was dressed in plain clothes and did not look very eye-catching. However, the shop owner jumped up from the counter as soon as he came in.
"M-Mister Pelucci?!" The shop owner cried out in surprise. His high-pitched voice even cracked.
After realizing that his voice had cracked, the shop owner hurriedly covered his mouth. Then, he eagerly ran to the person's side. All kinds of flattering words flowed out of his mouth like water flowing down a stream.
Pelucci was obviously enjoying the flattery. He was smiling so widely that his eyes almost turned into crescents.
If it was any other day, Pi Xi would probably let the shop owner talk until he ran out of words. But today, Pi Xi came here for other matters. After enjoying a few seconds of flattery, he waved his hand and interrupted the shop owner.
"Alright, that's all for today." Pelucci cleared his throat. "I'm here to meet important guests. Step aside and don't disturb — understand?" "Okay."
The shop owner nodded. He did not know why Pelucci came to his shop to meet guests. However, as the "big boss" of all the merchants in Pippi Castle, Pelucci had to be treated well no matter what he did.
The shop owner glanced at Angor and Laplace and whispered, "Mister, do you want me to drive these two away?" "Okay."
Pelucci's smiling face froze when he heard the shop owner's words.
"Do you know what you're talking about? These two are the most important guests of Pelucci Clan. How can you talk to them like that?! " Pelucci whispered into the shop owner's ear, "We're still in the middle of a party, so I won't punish you. But get out of my sight. Don't let me see you again. " "
The shop owner's fawning expression instantly turned pale.
These two humans were Master Pi Xi's guests?!
Why didn't you take the initiative to say anything? I … didn't do anything overboard just now, did I?
The shop owner was still wondering if he should go up and apologize to them to show his sincerity. But when he saw Pi Xi's angry glare, he gave up. He bowed to Pi Xi and quickly ran to the small door behind the counter, leaving Pi Xi, Angor, and the others alone in the shop.
"The air is finally clear! Pi Xi put on an exaggerated expression and walked to Angor and Laplace with an apologetic smile. "Sorry about Softie's lack of manners. I apologize on his behalf, honorable guests. "
Pi Xi kept smiling and bowing, which made Angor and Laplace speechless.
As a matter of fact, he didn't find anything wrong with the shop owner.
But he also understood why Pi Xi did this. There was a reason why people didn't like Pelucci. His bad nature was his original sin. Pi Xi didn't know if the shop owner did anything wrong to them, but as usual, he assumed the worst-case scenario. Besides, the shop owner said that he was going to "drive Angor and Laplace away", so Pi Xi naturally had to put on a show.
Yes, Pi Xi's attitude was just a show.
He kept cursing, but he didn't do anything to make things difficult for the shop owner.
Angor and Laplace both knew it, but they didn't need to point it out. Pi Xi was Peluxiu's boss. It was normal for him to protect his own people.
If Pi Xi betrayed the shop owner without saying anything, they would look down on him.
Angor: "No need to apologize. The shop owner didn't do anything wrong. "
Pi Xi chuckled. "Thank you for your understanding, sir. I know Softie. He likes to take advantage of people. Whether he did anything wrong or not, I'll teach him a lesson when we get back. "
Angor: … You better teach him a lesson.
Speaking of which, the shop owner's name was Softie, and he used his own name to name his shop. As expected of Pelucci.
Apart from his bad nature, Pelucci was always a confident person. These small details showed that.
"You're Pi Xi?" Laplace suddenly spoke up. "Did Luigi send you here?" "Yes.
Luigi bought Pi Xi's "favor contract" from Mirror Dragon. Now that Pi Xi was here and looking for them, Luigi must have asked him to come.
Pi Xi nodded with a smile. "Yes. Mister Luigi sent me to pick you up. Mister Luigi is with Sage right now and can't leave. "Yes.
When Pi Xi talked to Angor earlier, he acted normally. But now, when he spoke to Laplace, he didn't dare to look at Laplace even though his tone didn't change.
From this, it could be seen that Pi Xi might know some inside information. Even if he couldn't confirm Laplace's identity, he was sure that Laplace was someone important.
Also, when Angor activated his Astral Perception, he noticed that Pi Xi didn't only show respect to him but also a hint of joy. Maybe Pi Xi thought that he had a chance to get on Mirror Dragon's good side?
And Angor's guess was correct.
Pi Xi paid his debt with a favor because he wanted to get on Mirror Dragon's good side. Unfortunately, he was only hugging the thigh of a Dragon Whelp, and the Dragon Whelp did not have many thoughts and had long forgotten about him.
Pi Xi was about to give up when Luigi showed up.
As Grand Duke Pi Xiu's former assistant, Pi Xi knew something about Luigi. Luigi and Barregon were good friends, which meant that Luigi was someone who could "help" Pi Xi.
Grand Duke Pi Xiu had once revealed to him that Luigi was most likely a time body, and his original body might be a great existence.
Pi Xi didn't know who this "great being" was, but that didn't stop him from thinking that Luigi was "Gigantic Leg".
Since Luigi was "Gigantic Leg", Pi Xi naturally paid more attention to Luigi.
He knew a lot about Luigi, including his friends, his past, his hobbies, and so on.
In Pi Xi's intelligence network, Luigi didn't have a friend named "Laplace".
However, when Pi Xi asked Luigi for more information, he found that Luigi was very close to "Laplace".
Pi Xi never saw Laplace in his previous reports, but he was very close to Luigi, which made Pi Xi think that Laplace might have something to do with the "great being".
Therefore, when Pi Xi faced Laplace, he naturally had to show a respectful attitude.
As for "Angor", Pi Xi didn't pay much attention to him.
"Angor"'s human aura was too obvious. There was no convergence energy flowing around him, and his aura didn't fit in with the Mirror Realm at all. Pi Xi had no doubt that "Angor" was a human from another world.
No matter how powerful a human was, the Mirror Realm and the Mirror Realm were two different worlds. Pi Xi didn't even know how to ride the coattails of this world.
"If that's the case, let's go." Laplace nodded and asked Pi Xi to lead the way.
Pi Xi nodded respectfully. "This way, please." "Alright."
Pi Xi didn't lead them outside. Instead, he walked to a small door behind the counter. "To make it easier for Pi Xi to transport his goods, every shop on this floor has a passage that leads directly to the station." "Alright."
Of course, this tooth dye shop had such a passage as well.
When they opened the door, the first thing they saw was not the passage, but Softie, the owner of the shop, who was looking outside.
Earlier, Softie hid behind the small door and waited for someone to come out.
However, before he could leave, the door was opened again.
Softie waved at the people outside with an awkward expression. "Um, hello, everyone?" "Alright.
"Alright, come out and continue with your work. "I'll teach you a lesson when we get back." Pi Xi cleared his throat and signaled Softie to come out with his eyes.
Angor and Laplace didn't say anything.
After Softie came out, Pi Xi immediately led the two of them through the door.
There was indeed a long and narrow passage behind the door. The end of the passage was so dark that they couldn't see the end of it.
The passage looked ordinary. However, when Pi Xi entered, a wall on one side released a faint glow and projected a light screen.
The face of a green-skinned Lu Xiu appeared on the screen.
"Softie, do you want to go back to the station? Please reply within three seconds. Three, two … "Lu Xiu seemed to be busy with something else. He didn't even look up. Instead, he was working on the documents on his desk.
Three seconds later, Lu Xiu didn't hear Softie's voice again. He looked up in confusion and looked at the other side of the screen.
"What?! Mister Pi Xi?! " When the green-skinned Lu Xiu saw the person in front of him, he was so frightened that he stood up and stuttered.
Pi Xi waved a hand. "Take a seat and record the information of these two customers. They can use the inner passage as they wish. "
Lu Xiu glanced at Angor and Laplace. He didn't ask who they were. Instead, he nodded politely and quickly did the registration.
Ten seconds later, Lu Xiu finished the registration.
Pi Xi turned to them and said, "Dear customers, if you need anything during the party, you can enter Piluxiu's Station through the shops on this floor. "
Angor didn't think he would visit Piluxiu's Station again, but he still thanked Pi Xi.
With their "identities", they finally set foot on the path to the station.
Angor didn't know how long the passage was, but they saw many doors along the way. According to Pi Xi, these doors all led to different shops of Piluxiu.
Pi Xi sounded quite proud when he said this. Piluxiu was the only clan in the entire castle who set up such a passage for peddlers.
And it was Pi Xi who set up the passage.
Pi Xi might be a stingy person to the outside world, which earned him the nickname "Miser". However, when it came to Piluxiu's internal affairs, he always paid attention to his job.
The peddlers they met along the way all respected Pi Xi from the bottom of their hearts.
After walking for about five minutes, they finally reached Piluxiu's Station through the winding passage.
Piluxiu's Station wasn't as grand as the Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom, nor did it have a separate space. However, Piluxiu's Station was still huge.
In the middle of the station was a large square that could accommodate tens of thousands of people without being crowded.
This square was open to the public. Any race could come here unconditionally as long as they wanted. Since there was no threshold and it was open to the public, the square became Piluxiu's window to the outside world.
Almost all the public facilities were located in the square.
For example, there was a service counter for asking about products, a material storage office that stored large batches of goods, a temporary workbench for adding display pages, and all kinds of street stalls and entertainment services.
In fact, Pilucci even set up a small display stand here to display his products. Pilucci would also talk about his inventions and concepts on the display stand to gain venture capital.
For example, Angor saw a green-skinned Piluxiu wearing a half-body suit on the stage. He was talking about the idea behind a Golden Silk Glove. According to him, the glove was a derivative of the Golden Silk Glove. It was connected to the Golden Silk Glove through a special sensor, which allowed the glove's items to appear on the hand directly.
The invention sounded ordinary and didn't have much practical use. However, many people were willing to invest in it. There were even races other than Piluxiu.
They were willing to invest.
The reason was simple. The Golden Silk Glove was a very good space item. It had a large capacity and was not too expensive. However, it had a flaw that many people criticized. Due to the special property of the Golden Silk Glove, it needed to be transplanted into the body and connected to the esophagus. Therefore, every time something was taken out, it had to be spit out from the mouth.
"Spit out" was only a descriptive action. It didn't mean that the item would be "swallowed". However, it still gave people a bad impression.
Many aliens were interested in the practicality of the Golden Silk Glove, but they still hated the idea of having to "spit out" materials through the mouth.
This made the Golden Silk Glove not sell as well as expected.
However, with the Golden Silk Glove, the items inside the Golden Silk Glove would appear on the hand instead of "spitting" them out. It would look much better.
Although the effect was a little superfluous and unnecessary for practical people, it was definitely a great advantage for many people who cared about details.
Therefore, many people were willing to invest in it.
In the end, the concept of the Golden Silk Glove earned tens of thousands of crystals. Satisfied, Piluxiu stepped down from the stage and signed an agreement with the investor. He then left in a hurry, ready to show his talent and create a real product.
Angor watched this scene and felt a little impressed. Piluxiu's invention was really better than other races in the Mirror Domain.
They were even better than many wizard organizations.
More importantly, the higher-ups of Piluxiu were very supportive of their invention. They even prepared a stage for the ordinary Piluxiu to show their talents. Even Piluxiu, who was in a difficult situation, had a chance to soar into the sky.
One had to admit that Pilucci had made a brilliant move on his path of invention.
