Li Yi didn't understand the situation in Huan City. He believed that Mengdie would not lie to him and said, "How to open a store?"
"Let's go and build a store over there." Mengdie led everyone forward. Not long after leaving, she saw the word "for rent" written on the front of a store.
Everyone walked into the store, where the owner was lying on a wicker chair and fast asleep, snoring heavily.
"Boss, we want to rent this store from you." Mengdie walked over and asked in a low voice.
The shop owner rubbed his eyes and said vaguely: "Oh! Sure!"
"How much does it cost per month?" Mengdie asked.
The shop owner thought for a moment and asked, "Who will be the shop owner?"
"He." Mengdie pointed to Li Yi and said.
"If you are a shop owner, ninety Fantasy City Stones will be enough." The shop owner said.
Li Yi took a breath. He only had one hundred Fantasy City Stones on him, but the other party wanted ninety. He said, "Are you kidding me? So many?"
"Do you think I'm joking? This price is very low. If you don't believe me, go ask somewhere else." The store owner said.
Li Yi looked at Mengdie and lowered his voice: "Is that so?"
Mengdie nodded and said: "Other places will not be lower than this price, not to mention the location here is good, so we are not afraid of not having any customers."
Li Yi gritted his teeth, reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, and said: "Okay, I'll rent it."
The shop owner took out a piece of yellowed parchment from his pocket, quickly wrote a line of words, and then handed it to Li Yi and said: "Write your name on it, and you will be the boss this month."
After Li Yi wrote his name, light flashed on the parchment, turning into two red lights and flying into the eyebrows of the two people.
After the contract was completed, the store owner smiled slightly and said: "Business is booming, I will come to collect fees next month." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the store.
Li Yi took a look at the store and felt a little confused. It was his first time doing business and he had no idea what to sell. He said, "Mengdie, what do you think I should buy?"
"You can sell things that you can make, such as saying instruments and charms, or selling things that customers need." Mengdie said, "You can go to the wholesale street and buy them at a low price and sell them at a high price."
"This method is good, but how do I know what the guests need?" Li Yi asked.
Just as Mengdie was about to answer, a white rabbit ran in. The rabbit was so big that it was as tall as a person.
After the white rabbit came in, he asked: "What do you sell?"
Li Yi was startled. Customers were already arriving before the store even opened. The flow of people on this street was really good, so he asked, "What do you want to sell?"
"I want to buy mushrooms, do you have them here?" the white rabbit asked.
Li Yi's eyes widened. He even suspected that he heard wrongly and said in surprise: "What did you say, do you want to buy mushrooms?"
"Yes! I want to eat mushrooms." said the white rabbit.
Li Yi couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Are you eating it yourself?"
"Can't rabbits eat mushrooms?" asked the white rabbit.
"It's not impossible. Don't rabbits eat carrots?" Li Yi said.
The white rabbit shook its big ears and said, "Aren't you tired of eating carrots all day? I want to eat mushrooms."
"Not now, can you come tomorrow?" Li Yi said.
The white rabbit thought for a while and said: "Okay." After saying that, he couldn't go back and skipped outside the store.
Chen Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and said depressedly: "This is the first time I have seen a rabbit eating mushrooms!"
"There are so many strange animals here. Are you going to sell mushrooms?" Mengdie said, "If you go to the wholesale street to buy some now, you still have time before dawn."
"Okay, I'll go now." Li Yi said and left with the two women.
An hour later, Li Yi came to the wholesale street. He found the mushroom wholesale store and said, "Boss, how do you sell the mushrooms here?"
"One Magic City Stone and ten mushrooms." A woman's voice came from inside the store. The voice was very familiar, much like a person.
Chen Jiaojiao was stunned, Wang Xianxuan's eyes widened, and Li Yi looked intently into the palace.
Soon, the woman who just spoke came out. The woman was dressed like a clerk and wore common clothes, but her beautiful face could not be concealed.
"Su Mengxi, why are you here?" Li Yi asked in surprise.
This woman was Su Mengxi. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you know me?"
"Have you lost your memory?" Li Yi asked hurriedly.
Su Mengxi frowned and tried to remember, but couldn't remember anything, and said: "I don't remember. I only know that I am a man here now. I can't remember many things, but I know that I am waiting for someone here.
I'm waiting for that person to redeem me, but I don't know who I'm waiting for."
"I am the one you are waiting for. How much can I pay to redeem you?" Li Yi asked.
Su Mengxi thought for a moment and said, "It's like ten thousand fantasy city stones."
"So many?" Li Yi said in surprise.
"Yeah! I think it's a bit too much, so I don't think about who redeemed me." Su Mengxi changed the subject, "Do you want to buy mushrooms?"
"Well! Give me ten." Li Yi took out a Fantasy City Stone.
"Okay, we are doing an event here. Buy ten and get five free. Buy more and get more." Su Mengxi took a Magic City Stone and handed ten mushrooms to Li Yi.
Li Yi stared into Su Mengxi's eyes and said word by word: "Wait for me, and I will definitely redeem you."
"Are you really the person I'm waiting for?" Su Mengxi asked.
"Your name is Su Mengxi, one of my favorite women." Li Yi replied.
Su Mengxi was startled, and seemed to have thought of something, and said: "Su Mengxi, such a familiar name, is this my name?"
"You don't remember your name?" Li Yi asked.
Su Mengxi nodded and said: "They all call me Xiaoxi, and I don't know what my name is anymore."
Just as Li Yigang was about to speak, the voice of the landlady came from inside the store: "Xiaoxi, stop talking to the customers and go get the mushrooms you just picked out."
Su Mengxi sighed and said, "Sorry, I'll go first. See you tomorrow."
As Li Yi and others walked back, Wang Shanshan frowned and said, "Husband, I suspect that Sister Mengxi and the others are trapped here. If we want to take them away, we must let them regain their freedom."
"Damn Illusion Array, you actually played this trick with me." Li Yi clenched his fists and said word by word, "No matter what the price, I will take them out of here."
Back in the store, Mengdie said: "Did you buy mushrooms?"
"I bought it," Li Yi said.
"It's getting dark, close the store quickly, let's go out first." Mengdie said, "If you don't go out on time, you will become part of the formation."
As soon as everyone went out, the night disappeared and a new day began again.
The crowds that were bustling just now disappeared out of thin air, and all the stores were closed.
At this time, everyone's body flashed with white light, and everyone's bags were missing a Magic City Stone.
The only difference was that after the mythical beast Taotie's Fantasy City Stone disappeared, a warning sounded in his ears.
"Your Fantasy City Stone has been exhausted. If you cannot obtain it on time, you will become part of the Fantasy City at this moment tomorrow.
The face of the mythical beast Taotie changed drastically. He looked at Li Yi and begged: "Hurry up and sign the contract! Hire me."
"How to sign a contract?" Li Yi asked.
The mythical beast Taotie knew a lot. He named a formation and said: "That's it."
This formation was similar to the one he used when he made a bet with the woman Li Yi. After it could be played, he said in a solemn voice: "I will hire you in the name of the shopkeeper, and you will get one Fantasy City Stone every day. Are you willing?"
"I do!" said the mythical beast Taotie.
After completing the contract, Mengdie looked at the surrounding streets and said, "Let's go, let's find the formation together."
Everyone walked forward together. Not long after walking, they saw an open store.
The store was pitch black, the cold wind was howling, and no one knew where the store was.
"Why isn't this store closed?" Li Yi asked.
Mengdie only glanced at it and said with certainty: "This is where the formation spirits live during the day. Most of the materials for the things they sell are obtained from here."
"What material?" Li Yi asked.
"For example, mushrooms, monster furs, weapon refining materials, etc." Mengdie said, "They don't have to pay to get in here, but we need a Fantasy City Stone to get in."
"Are we sure to get something when we go in?" Li Yi asked.
Mengdie shook her head and said, "It depends on luck. You may get something, but you may come back empty-handed."
"Then can we get in?" Li Yi asked, "Will there be a formation here?"
"We don't have it here, but it allows us to survive here." Mengdie said, "We have opened a store anyway, let's try our luck! If we can get a lot of refining materials, our store can continue to operate. By the way, you
Isn’t there an artifact? We can use the artifact spirit to help us find what we need.”
Li Yi smiled bitterly and said: "She is asleep."
"What, how could she fall asleep?" Mengdie asked in surprise.
"In order to help me use a magical power, she consumed a lot of energy and is temporarily unable to wake up." Li Yi explained.
Mengdie nodded suddenly, without asking in detail, and said: "This is the land of Taixu. There is enough fairy energy in it to speed up her awakening."
"Let's go! Let's go in and take a look." Li Yi was the first to walk inside. Not long after walking, a bright light appeared in front of him.
A formation appeared out of thin air, blocking Li Yi out, and a voice echoed in his mind, "Welcome to the land of Taixu. You need a Fantasy City Stone to enter. If you say yes, you can go in. If you say no, or no
Answer, you can’t go in again within one day, please choose whether to go in.”
Li Yi recited something silently in his heart and said: "Yes!"
Just after saying this, the stream of light flashed in front of him, and a huge suction force appeared, sucking his body into it.
As soon as his feet landed on the ground, Li Yi looked up and found that he had arrived in a dream-like place.
Directly ahead are mountains, water, flowers, grass, and patches of woods. The ancient trees are as thick as an adult's body, and you can't see the edges at a glance. In the woods, there are mushrooms, medicinal materials, and many refining tools.
Trees such as sky spirit wood, rock wood, and even rare flame wood can be seen.
It is such a place, but it is empty, as if no one has come here.
Just when Li Yi was wondering why there was no one here, Mengdie and others appeared beside him.
"You must be wondering why there is no one here!" Mengdie asked.
Li Yi nodded and said, "Didn't you say those formation spirits would come here during the day?"
"They are indeed here, and they are here, but you can't see them." Mengxi said, "It's strange here. We all exist, but we can't see each other."
"If you fancy the same thing at the same time, who can get it?" Li Yi asked.
"Whoever takes it first will belong to him." Mengdie pointed to a large field of mushrooms under the woods ahead and said seriously, "Did you see that the number of mushrooms over there is decreasing?"
Li Yi took a look, it was really like this, and said: "Let's go pick mushrooms!"
Everyone walked forward quickly. Not long after they left, Mengdie and others disappeared from their side.
The speed of Li Yi's feet became faster. He came to the mushrooms and was about to pick them, when an unexpected scene appeared.
The mushrooms that were large just now suddenly disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, not a single one was left.
"I'm going to pinch you. It's too much. At least leave one for me!"
