It took more than ten days for the nobles and merchants of Mote City to open their shops in Dawn City one after another.
They soon discovered that opening a store in this city was indeed a good business, and their resentment against Chris for charging high rents and taxes disappeared.
Viscount Gandolf and Count Raymond and other wealthy aristocratic families opened seven or eight shops at once.
With the arrival of these people, Dawn City is finally operating normally.
Chris also built more than 20 happy houses, but after he became famous, it was no longer free to play. If you want to enter, you have to pay a five-coin ticket first.
In the Happy House, whether they win or lose money, it has nothing to do with Chris.
After starting to charge tickets, the flow of people has decreased, but each happy house can still have a flow of four to five hundred people a day. Twenty houses can earn Chris five gold coins.

"Finally back!" Outside Shuguang City, a dozen people dressed like beggars came here with excitement on their faces.
All of them were injured, and several of them were missing arms and legs.
"Open the door!" The leader walked to the city gate and shouted upwards.
A rhinoceros man stuck his head out and asked: "Who is it?"
"It's me, Knight Jonathan." Jonathan lifted his hair, revealing a face covered in blood.
Seeing that it was one of his own, the gate of Shuguang City opened immediately.
"Lord Jonathan, why have you become like this?"
Jonathan said helplessly: "The matter is complicated. I can't tell for a while. Is Miss Tina in the city? I have important things to report to her."
"Yes, have you seen the newly built castle? She lives there."
Jonathan looked up and trotted straight towards the castle.
The people he brought back simply slumped on the ground, begging for food and water from the people around them, and then wolfed down their food as if they hadn't eaten for three days.
Jonathan came to the New Castle with a heavy heart: "Miss Tina, it's not good..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the familiar red figure lying in the yard, and he suddenly felt like crying.
"Jonathan?" Chris asked uncertainly, looking at the dirty guy who just came in.
"Sir, I'm sorry for you." Jonathan fell to his knees with a pop, tears streaming down his face.
Chris asked eagerly: "What happened?"
More than two months ago, Manda was poisoned and needed ice and snow lotus, so Chris sent Jonathan to the royal capital to find out the news, while he went to the Snowy Mountains alone to search.
I don’t know what Jonathan went through to become like this.
The servant next to him brought a chair and asked him to sit down.
Jonathan told the story with runny noses and tears: "After leaving Dawn City that day, we went straight to the royal capital, and it took us six days to arrive. Then we contacted Princess Shirley and handed over the dragon meat and monster meat we carried.
She, and asked her to use the resources of the Chamber of Commerce to find out information about Ningbing Snow Lotus."
"The sales of dragon meat and monster meat were very good. They were sold out in less than half a month and we earned 5,000 gold coins. Since then, we have been waiting for news in the capital."
"Finally more than ten days ago, we learned that Count Lauryn had it, so we came to him and wanted to spend money to buy it." But Count Lauryn said that there were several friends around him who also needed it, and he would sell it to anyone.
If you refute other people’s reputation, it’s better to put it on the auction house, and the one with the highest price will get it.”
"So, Count Lauryn sent the Ice Snow Lotus to the Royal Capital Auction House to participate in the bidding."
"I kept your instructions in mind, and I will get it no matter how much I pay. In the end, I spent two thousand gold coins to get the Ice Snow Lotus."
"After we got the snow lotus, we rushed back without stopping. But on the way, we were intercepted by Earl Allison and his people."
"Although the auction houses are all private rooms, the identity of the buyers will be protected. However, there are only a few people who need snow lotus. You will know after a little inquiry from Count Lauryn."
"And Earl Allison was one of the people who wanted to buy the Ice Snow Lotus before. He couldn't bid, so he came over to snatch it."
"At first, I revealed your identity, but he didn't care. We resisted desperately, but he brought many powerful people above level five, not only Snow Lotus, but also the space ring and the remaining three thousand gold coins.
Robbed."
"Before we left, Earl Allison said to us: 'If Chris has the courage, let him come to me in the capital to retrieve your things.'"
"All the horses we were riding died in the battle, so we could only walk back on foot to report the situation to Miss Tina. Because we had no money, when we were thirsty and hungry, we picked some wild fruits from the passing groves to eat."
From Jonathan's current appearance, we can see how difficult this journey has been.
After hearing what he said, Chris turned pale with anger: "Does this Earl Allison have any background?"
Jonathan said cautiously: "He is loyal to the eldest prince Yawen and is a popular person in front of His Highness."
No wonder he is so arrogant.
If it were other nobles who had experienced the pioneering order, they would naturally not dare to be so presumptuous.
And this stupid young man, relying on his relationship with the eldest prince, acted tyrannically.
It seems that I have to go to the royal capital.
Jonathan asked tentatively: "Sir, have you also found the Ice Snow Lotus?"
Chris nodded: "That's right."
"That's good." Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief.
Chris patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's been a hard journey all the way. Go to the new castle to choose a room. Go back and rest first. After you have rested, you will take the few people under you to find Miss Tina."
Receive a gold coin."
"Thank you, sir."
Reputation from Jonathan 20
Watching Jonathan leave, Chris' eyes became cold.
Oh, Earl Allison.
If Chris hadn't found the Ice Snow Lotus in the snowy mountains, that damn guy would have ruined his own affairs.
No matter what, he must pay a heavy price.
Chris went upstairs and found Tina and said to her: "Next, I am going to the royal capital. It can take as short as ten days or as long as a month. I will leave Dawn City to you."
Tina rolled her eyes and said, "You are leaving again. Is this my territory or yours?"
Ever since the Frontier War, Chris would go out every once in a while.
But there is no way around it, there are important things every time.
"Oh, good sister~" Chris took Tina's hand and came forward, kissed her pretty face with a "chirp" sound, and then turned around and ran away.
Tina didn't expect that this kid would make such a bold move for her, and she was stunned for a moment. By the time she reacted, Chris had already run away.
"Bah, you bastard!" Tina stamped her feet angrily, and a blush quickly rose on her face.
