What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

Inside Xu Tianlin's luxurious office.

He was sitting in a large boss's chair, holding a cup of the newly developed milk tea "Human Fireworks" in his hand, with his legs crossed, looking extremely comfortable.

My buddy's been having such a lucky time lately.

After opening the land plot, the system gave me a branch store slot and I even won a Little Macau theme.

Little Macau had just been built and was still racking its brains about how to win, when the Demon King directly presented it with two great laws as a congratulatory gift for its opening.

Weird.

Xu Tianlin sighed as he looked at the virtual screen floating in front of him, which was divided into small images.

Every frame shows the bustling business in Macau at that moment.

Someone waved the chips in their hand, their eyes wide as if they wanted to stare through the table.

Some people clutched their chests, their expressions shifting between a sense of auspiciousness rising from their ancestral graves and a feeling that their ancestral graves had been dug up.

Some people, while shouting "Last round," sat back down with a rather practiced posture.

For every bet completed, Xu Tianlin, the boss, gets a commission, which is incredibly lucrative.

"I just don't know if Liu Bo and his team will be able to find those alien treasures."

"Slurp—"

Xu Tianlin took a sip of his milk tea and decided to stop thinking about it; there's always a way out.

Immediately afterwards, the office door was pushed open, and the adorable Candice rushed in carrying a round mouse.

"Shop owner, brother!"

"This rat is weird!"

"After he arrived here, he first looked around furtively, then tried to dig a hole to escape, but Candice caught him!"

Upon entering, Candice stretched out both hands and held the mouse in her hands in front of Xu Tianlin.

Xu Tianlin: "Huh?"

Xu Tianlin looked at Candice's hand.

At this moment, Candice was holding the mouse by its two ears and lifting it in mid-air like a rabbit.

Its already plump and round body was stretched into a very strange shape by gravity.

Narrow at the top. Wide at the bottom.

Like a large, fluffy water droplet that rolls its eyes and looks defiant.

Yet it still tries its best to maintain an expression that says, "This mouse has great dignity."

This makes it even more ridiculous.

Xu Tianlin glanced at the mouse and his gaze sharpened slightly.

Ok?

In his perception, this round, plump rat possessed a remarkably high level of cultivation.

Peak of the Dao Integration Realm?

Something!

Xu Tianlin thought about it carefully.

Judging from the current situation, this rat's cultivation level is probably the highest he has ever seen.

He's the kind of person who can easily crush people like A Luo and Wei Peng, and after crushing them, he can casually dust them off and ask, "Do you submit?"

The issue is--

This high-level Dao Integration Realm rat was being held in the hand of Candice, a young girl at the Nine Heavens Realm.

His ears were still being pulled, and his body was still being shaken.

His face showed a mixture of anger, grievance, feigned indifference, and genuine ear pain.

This scene looks really weird no matter how you look at it.

Xu Tianlin was momentarily unsure whether to be more shocked by the rat's high cultivation level or by the fact that Candice had managed to lift it up.

Just as Xu Tianlin was sizing up the mouse, the mouse was also sizing up Xu Tianlin.

Humans?

The mouse's nose twitched.

Its small eyes narrowed slightly as it carefully sniffed the scent emanating from Xu Tianlin.

There was no aura of the abyss.

There are no evil laws or powers involved.

His aura was clean, and his spirit was calm; he was indeed human.

only……

The mouse's heart sank slightly.

This little mouse couldn't see through the young man in front of it at all.

This is very unreasonable.

But the young man in front of me was sitting there with a friendly smile on his face, as if he were doing business, and he didn't seem to have the slightest bit of the airs of a powerful person.

But the mouse just couldn't see through it.

Xu Tianlin looked at the mouse being held in mid-air and quickly put on a professional smile.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency."

"Everyone who comes to my resort is a guest."

"Those who run businesses naturally have to ensure the safety of their customers."

The mouse's eyes twitched.

"However, you'll have to pay for the damaged carpet and floor."

Mouse: "..."

It knows.

From the moment that little blood elf started talking about paying compensation, it felt that this matter wouldn't be so simple.

The mouse immediately raised its two little paws and hugged its ears.

"Put this mouse down first!"

Candice tilted her head to look at Xu Tianlin, and only after receiving permission did she release her grip.

The mouse landed on the ground with a "plop".

The moment it landed, its fat jiggled a few times, making Xu Tianlin raise an eyebrow.

Good guy.

This should feel pretty good.

The mouse was clearly unaware of the dangerous thought that flashed through Xu Tianlin's mind.

After landing, it immediately stood up straight, with its two front paws behind its back, trying to suppress the embarrassment of being dragged in by its ears.

It looked up at Xu Tianlin.

"Are you the owner of the resort that's been all the rage in the Battle of Ten Thousand Races lately?"

Xu Tianlin smiled and nodded.

"Exactly."

The mouse's eyes darted around.

The next moment, it pushed off with all four limbs and jumped directly onto Xu Tianlin's desk.

Candice's face tightened.

"Eh!"

"Don't step on the table!"

The mouse pretended not to hear.

It took tiny, shuffling steps and trotted up to Xu Tianlin, bringing its fluffy head right up to his face.

A man and a mouse, their eyes locked.

Xu Tianlin could even see the two whiskers on the rat's head trembling slightly.

The mouse lowered its voice, looking very serious.

"Such a great location, located in the abyss region, what were you thinking?"

Xu Tianlin: "..."

The mouse continued:

"Aren't you afraid the demon lords will team up and destroy this place?"

Xu Tianlin scratched his cheek.

"They shouldn't be afraid..."

The mouse looked heartbroken.

"Even though this is the outer edge of the abyss, we can't let our guard down!"

"What a wonderful place! So spacious, luxurious, and stylish."

The mouse spreads out its two little paws.

"What a waste!"

"I'm not trying to criticize you, but you humans really don't pay much attention to feng shui when doing business."

Xu Tianlin was stunned.

This mouse is quite talkative.

And judging from its tone, it genuinely thinks Macau is quite nice.

The mouse's eyes darted around.

The pity on its face gradually turned into a kind of benevolent "This little mouse is thinking of you" attitude.

His expression was like that of a benevolent rat who, seeing a young person fail in their investment, couldn't resist reaching out to help them buy the stock at a low price.

"How about this?"

Suddenly, the mouse raised its head, its two little eyes wide open, looking as serious as if it wanted to join the Party.

Xu Tianlin looked at the rat in front of him and found it very interesting.

"how?"

Xu Tianlin continued to ask.

The mouse cleared its throat.

Then, it stretched out a little paw, pointed to the office, then to the bustling little Macau hall outside, and finally pointed to itself.

Name your price.

"Sell this place to me, you little mouse."
