Chapter 1239 - 1237: Li Family of Hundred Directions City

Chapter 1239: Chapter 1237: Li Family of Hundred Directions City

Looking at the empty scene before him, Li Shang couldn’t help but swallow.

His chubby little hand wiped his eyes; he couldn’t have imagined Gu Xi would do such a thing.

What kind of situation is this? Moving the mecha and puppets, that I can understand.

But what’s the reason for dismantling the nearby steam pipes?

The steel plates on the ground are just ordinary steel, not at all precious. If you lack money to spend, you can tell me; no need to dismantle the ground like this.

However, Gu Xi seemed quite satisfied at the moment.

He didn’t dismantle too much, but judging by the speed just now, if he wanted to dismantle this entire steam pipe area, it would take about half an hour.

Even the main time-consuming thing is just travel; if the items were nearby, it wouldn’t take that long at all.

After putting away the horizontally folding school gate, Gu Xi turned to Li Shang and said, "We can go now."

"Oh, oh, oh, this way, Brother Gu, you really helped us a lot; if it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t know how to tackle this section.

We’ll be fighting the instance next, so we won’t keep you.

But next time, next time you come to Hundred Directions City, you must find us.

Our Li Family in Hundred Directions City is considered the local tyrant; there’s nothing we can’t smooth over."

At this moment, Gu Xi suddenly asked.

"I want to ask, how do I buy a ticket to Yin City?

Can you help me out?"

"Yin City, what are you going there for?

Oh, you’re an Undead Mage, no problem then.

This is simple; once we get outside, I’ll help you inquire, and you can buy one.

But you need to pay attention; traveling to Yin City requires cross-star realm travel, and there might only be one or two tickets each week.

If this week passes, you’ll have to wait till next week."

"I understand, thanks for the help."

"Don’t worry, there are very few people going from White Stone City to Yin City, so those two tickets are almost never contested; at most, you might miss the timing for the train.

This is simple; you don’t need to worry at all."

As Li Shang spoke, he led Gu Xi back to the drilling machine.

After all, he still had the task of getting Gu Xi out of the instance.

Gu Xi was occupying their instance time.

He wasn’t in a hurry before, but now it’s different; the path ahead has cleared.

Li Shang didn’t want to be delayed outside.

So he grabbed Gu Xi and headed straight out.

This time on the way out, Li Shang continued to talk non-stop just like before.

Except now he was talking mostly about Hundred Directions City and White Stone City.

As a satellite city of White Stone City, Hundred Directions City actually lacks many things.

The cross-star realm train station is only in White Stone City, but Hundred Directions City has a ticket office; as long as you buy a ticket, the station here offers shuttle service.

Meanwhile, in Hundred Directions City, the Li Family is considered a noble family.

Not only is their population large, but their strength isn’t weak.

The recognized members of their family are all Level 20, while this batch of Level 19 members is just skirting the edge of the Li Family, known but not yet prominent.

They can act under the name of the Li Family, but it’s not appropriate to provoke outside enemies under their name.

However, acting for convenience under the Li Family’s name in Hundred Directions City is no issue.

Just like now.

Li Shang had already made everything clear.

Once outside, he would arrange for someone to help Gu Xi buy a ticket.

If a wait of one or two days was needed, the Li Family would also cover the accommodation.

The Li Family has three decent hotels in Hundred Directions City: Li Family Hotel, Bai Xiang Hotel, and White Stone Hotel.

Gu Xi could choose to stay at any of these if he wished.

Of course, this was as far as Li Shang could promise.

Beyond that, it wasn’t something he could guarantee.

But Gu Xi understood well the behavioral patterns of these noble family scions.

After all, Li Shang was born in the real world.

If it were in Bailian City, with Li Shang’s strength, he would already be a clan leader.

Facing someone like Gu Xi, they would definitely go to great lengths to retain him.

But in the real world, Gu Xi couldn’t enjoy such treatment.

The services in these families’ hotels likely exist, but you have to pay.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi couldn’t help shaking his head.

He wouldn’t pay.

He’s managed to escape the pit of Creation.

Now was the time to impact the group instance.

This matter had been delayed for almost half a year.

Though the time within the group instance wouldn’t change, Eldest Princess Anna was getting impatient.

Just now, Gu Xi had come into possession of some new units: Contract Puppet Jade, the recently acquired Electronic Ghost, and the Level 20 and above Giant Dragon from the dragon slaying.

These units could be showcased in the instance.

Just now, seeing a few days available for use, Gu Xi planned to restart his group instance strategy.

Thinking about this, Gu Xi’s mind started to wander, only absentmindedly nodding to Li Shang’s words, without giving a direct response.

Li Shang didn’t mind this situation.

To him, Gu Xi’s aloof demeanor was something a master should have.

Ignoring everything else, Gu Xi’s ability to transport materials was beyond what Li Shang could imagine.

With such a skill, even a regular person would become sought after.

Not to mention, Gu Xi had demonstrated remarkable ghost-removal skills.

These abilities might not be significant in Yin City, but in White Stone City, they’d be an unparalleled weapon.

Keeping Gu Xi around would mean numerous opportunities for Hundred Directions City.

Having such abilities, some aloofness is justified.

Though Gu Xi appeared aloof, Li Shang wouldn’t let the encounter turn awkward.

So, Li Shang continued diversifying his introduction to Hundred Directions City.

At this point, he started sharing some insider gossip.

In this department, Li Shang’s skills were quite impressive, sharing all sorts of useful and useless information.

Whether true or not, it was hard to judge.

Gu Xi felt if he released Shaya, she’d definitely glean more about Hundred Directions City from Li Shang.

At this moment, the drilling machine suddenly stopped, and as the machine vanished, Gu Xi saw the stunned Li Gu and others.

They were puzzled, seeing Gu Xi and Li Shang suddenly appear, and asked.

"Old Four, why are you back, did something happen with the instance?"
