Lu Yao spent some time to deposit money in the bank. She deposited 200,000 yuan into the card she often used for spending, and the remaining 800,000 yuan was deposited into four different bank cards. She transferred the money to five banks and didn't arrive at the store until nearly eleven o'clock.
She went to the nail salon first, prepared to buy some ingredients to send to the snack bar, and then went to the nail salon to open the door.
After opening the door, Lu Yao took a step back and raised her hand to block her eyes. What was dazzling?
"Finally open!"
"Is she the owner Harold was talking about?"
"The foreigner with black hair and black eyes, it should be her!"
Lu Yao waited for her eyes to adjust before putting down her hand. A group of boys and girls about the same age as Harold stood in front of the store. What dazzled her eyes was the treasures neatly arranged in a row at the door.
A rough count showed that there were about six or seven baskets.
Hearing Harold's name and the pile of treasures on the ground, Lu Yao could probably guess the identity and purpose of this group of boys and girls.
Are you here for team building?
The neighbors were still shocked when they saw Harold yesterday, but today they seemed numb, staring blankly at the door of the nail salon without moving their eyes.
A girl wearing a red dress and red hair tied into two ponytails walked up to Lu Yao with big and bright eyes, "Shopkeeper, I want to do a manicure."
Five or six boys and girls behind her immediately echoed: "Shopkeeper, I want to do a manicure too!"
Lu Yao opened the door of the store: "...Please go in and wait."
The momentum was too strong, doing a manicure is just a manicure, making it look like a fight, almost scared to death.
The boys and girls entered the store holding their treasure fish. They saw a large basket of treasures under a table with the scent of a little black dragon on it. They knew they had found the right place.
Lu Yao prepared snacks and drinks, handed over the tablet, and took out her phone to open the album, letting them look at the styles first. She had to go out to buy vegetables.
She was not afraid of leaving these little dragons alone in the store. The whole store was not worth the treasure carried by a little dragon. What was there to be afraid of?
On the way to buy vegetables, Lu Yao was thinking about hiring people. When she was busy, at least there had to be a clerk to help greet customers.
If she could meet the right clerk, she would also like to train two or three apprentices. She alone could not support a nail salon.
Lu Yao went to the meat stall and bought two pieces of Monster Meat directly. Monster Meat is more expensive than ordinary pork and beef. Lu Yao had eaten it before and knew the difference was huge, so she didn't worry too much about the price.
There were six or seven little dragons queuing in the store waiting to get manicures. Nail salons can definitely be successful in this world, so she didn't worry about having no money, so she bought a few baskets of vegetables, spending a total of five silver coins.
Back in the store, the little dragons gathered together, still looking at the design pictures.
Dragons have a habit of being more greedy than any other creature on this continent, and they always have to find the best treasures and then take them for themselves.
Even if it's just to choose a manicure style, they have to look at all of them and then pick out the one they like best.
Lu Yao ignored them and opened the door to send the ingredients to the snack bar.
The little red dragon Tina looked up at the door. The owner had disappeared at the door. There was an aura of space magic on the door.
But soon, the owner came back.
Tina walked over with her treasure in her arms, "I have chosen the style." Lu Yao
took a look and found that it was indeed Harold's style.
She was not surprised. No dragon could resist glitter.
Tina put the treasure aside, took out a bag, and poured out a pile of rubies, "I want to use these gems to decorate my nails."
She is a little red dragon with fire attribute. She is naturally fire-friendly and likes rubies that are similar in color to the abyss fire.
She likes Harold's clumsy claws, but Tina doesn't want to do the same manicure as him.
Dragons are greedy and selfish.
The things they like must be unique.
After listening to the request, Lu Yao soon had an idea.
She drew a drawing, and Tina liked it as soon as she saw it.
Tina's nails were relatively short, and seemed to have been specially polished.
Lu Yao asked if she wanted to extend her nails a little, so that the effect would be better.
Tina shook her head, and the next second her nails automatically extended half an inch forward, and asked: "Do you want it longer?"
Lu Yao was used to not being surprised, and nodded: "Just right."
At this time, two more little dragons chose the styles. Lu Yao said that it would be slower to do the nails, and they could write down the styles they wanted to do, go out and play, and then come back.
The little dragon cubs were reluctant to go out, and surrounded Lu Yao, staring at her movements curiously. Lu
Yao easily drew a beautiful flame pattern on Tina's nails with two strokes, and the little dragon cubs were surprised.
They are always reckless and rarely take the time to observe such delicate work.
Lu Yao designed a flame nail for Tina, with a flame totem extending from the fingertips. The flame is a silver-red gradient. The fingertips are primed with a dark red color, and then a delicate silver cat-eye nail polish is applied. A magnet is used to draw a shallow arc of light on the fingertips. A
gradient shadow is carefully drawn on the flame, a circle of fine lines is drawn on the edge, glue is applied, and a layer of rose gold magic mirror powder is applied. A small cluster of flames seems to be jumping as the fingertips tremble.
Tina was fascinated by it. It was more beautiful than she imagined.
The shape of the flame on each finger is different. Lu Yao chose to decorate only the index finger, ring finger and pinky finger with the rubies that Tina brought. He picked out the rubies of suitable shapes, shrunk them to the desired size with magic, and then put them on the nails.
Tina likes the design on the ring finger the most.
The magma-like red color only occupies two-fifths of the entire nail. It is not as fierce as the flames. There are only ripples on the surface. It is brushed with that kind of bright powder, sparkling. A few pointed rubies with gaps are randomly dotted on the upper part, like flames leaping from magma, extremely vivid.
The two nails without rubies are decorated with silver chains. The red and silver are intertwined, shining and layered, with an indescribable delicate beauty.
Tina raised her hands and gently shook her fingers, and tiny pieces of light leaped out from her fingertips.
For the first time, she felt that the aesthetics of the dragons were rough. It turned out that even without filling every corner with gems, it could still be beautiful enough to make dragons unable to look away.
"It's my turn, owner, I like this style." The blond boy immediately came up to Lu Yao and said.
Seeing a manicure completed up close, they couldn't wait.
Lu Yao glanced at the time. It took Tina three hours to finish her manicure. There were six dragons left, and she couldn't finish them even if she worked overtime in one day.
She wrote down the styles that each dragon liked and made an exact appointment with them. She could only do three at most today, so the dragons who had appointments for tomorrow went back first.
But some of them didn't want to leave, and they all surrounded Lu Yao, insisting on watching her do her manicure.
Tina stood beside Lu Yao and watched very seriously. The owner's technique was skillful and fluent, and just watching her work made the dragons enjoy it very much.
Her designs always surprised the dragons. Different dragons had different preferences, and each manicure she made was beautiful in its own way and completely in line with the preferences of the dragon clan.
Si Jin brought the carefully selected gems to the nail salon. He met Harold at the door and frowned, "Why are you here again?" You
're not here to change your nails, are you?
Damn, he only picked a box of gems. Shouldn't he go back and pick some more?
Harold also had a sour face, "I like it here."
The two of them glared at each other at the door. After all, they didn't fight as soon as they met like before, mainly because their hands were not convenient.
As a result, as soon as they entered the door, they saw the owner of the nail salon surrounded by six or seven cub dragons.
Si Jin was the first to greet, "Owner, I want to change my nails." Lu
Yao took the time to look at him and said calmly, "Today's appointment is full. Can I do it tomorrow afternoon?"
Si Jin collapsed. It was all because he was too obsessed with choosing gems last night and spent too much time.
Now he has to wait until tomorrow, and he obviously doesn't want to wait any longer.
Harold was instantly proud when he heard this. Even though Si Jin couldn't change his nails, he was still the most beautiful dragon.
He went over to watch Lu Yao getting his nails done for a while, and touched a strange book on the table. It had pictures and words, and it looked very interesting.
There was a sofa next to him, and Harold took the book and went to the sofa, reading it with relish.
The book was a comic book that Lu Yao found at home yesterday and placed in the store for waiting customers to pass the time. The book was printed in Chinese, but in the alien space it would automatically appear as alien language, which Harold could completely understand.
Si Jin didn't rush to leave either. He saw Tina's new manicure and was secretly jealous.
Although it didn't have Harold's shine, Tina's manicure was extremely delicate and decorated with real rubies, which was very suitable for this little fire dragon.
In a tavern on a street corner in Emerald Town, five or six men sat together, with wine bowls and two plates of snacks on the table.
The short, thin man with a sly look spoke first: "Today, six or seven kids carried treasures to that store. People in the town saw it. We stole enough money to live a carefree life."
The tall, strong man with a full beard said: "The woman in the nail salon is ordinary and weak. She doesn't know magic, but she dares to show off her money. She should be taught a lesson." The
tall and thin young man said: "But we went there last night. I don't know what happened to the door of that store. I couldn't open it."
Another man said: "I think it's not right. The kids who brought treasures are not good enough. "This and that store are both very strange. How can a normal person be so ostentatious? Maybe it's some kind of trap."
The bearded man slammed his hand on the table and raised his voice by two degrees: "They are just young masters and young girls from wealthy families who dare to walk around with so much money without any guards. They are just short of being called 'fat sheep'. The money and jewelry are not fake. If we don't rob them, there will be others who will. If you don't want to join, get out of here and don't waste my wine."
The young man was frightened by the bearded man and didn't dare to stand up.
He knew that if he dared to leave, he would be retaliated immediately, so he had to bow his head and beg for mercy.
Someone was following them and recorded the time when Lu Yao closed the store these days.
Generally, the store would close in the evening when there were no customers.
When no one was in the shop, the door could not be opened from the outside.
The robbers discussed waiting until the afternoon, before the nail salon closed.
At that time, there were not many people on the street, so they went straight into the shop, grabbed the owner and the children, robbed the treasure and ran away.
After the discussion, they seemed to have seen the future of successful robbery and extravagant wealth, and raised their wine bowls and laughed.
In the nail salon, Lu Yao was stretching his sore shoulders after finishing the manicure for the second little dragon.
[Successfully received five customers, the progress of the illustrated collection is 4, and Lu Yao's nail salon has been upgraded to a one-star store. Rewards: 100 popularity points, a formula for dragon-specific gem glue, and a drop of starlight. ]
[You have a new task! Receive twenty guests, and get a popularity reward of 500 points, two special dragon gem glue formulas, and three drops of starlight! 】
Lu Yao was stunned. It turned out that the glue really had a formula, and what was starlight?
Only one drop, this reward was too stingy.
Lu Yao was super curious, but the third little dragon had already sat down, looking at her expectantly.
Forget it, finish the work first, and then look at the reward slowly after closing the store at night.
The third dragon was also a little red dragon, but he was a teenager.
He had short red hair and ears, a pair of pointed little tiger teeth, and he looked very cute when he smiled.
He poured out a bag of black gems and wanted Lu Yao to design him a cool and handsome manicure.
Lu Yao drew a draft on the drawing paper, and the little red dragon nodded with satisfaction.
She polished the little red dragon's nails, applied base coat, and traced the pattern, leaving only the finishing touches. The door of the shop was suddenly pushed open, and a group of strong men rushed in with various weapons.
A dozen adult men occupied the nail salon in an instant, and surrounded Lu Yao and a group of young boys and girls in a corner. The leading man waved the broad knife in his hand and shouted intimidation: "Don't move, hand over all your treasures and I will let you go!"
Lu Yao saw such a scene for the first time. He didn't expect that someone would dare to break into the house and rob in broad daylight, holding cold weapons in their hands, as if they were not afraid at all.
She was distracted and her hands trembled. Little Red Dragon, who was getting her nails done, got nervous and turned around and yelled, "You scared her!"
The gangsters didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. They just regarded Little Red Dragon as a pampered young master. They thought that these children and the store owner were completely under their control. The leader laughed with his neck tilted back: "Hahahaha, did you hear that? The young master is angry. Don't let him go later."
They loved to bully this kind of young master with a good family and a bad temper.
The gangsters laughed and gathered in the middle, looking at the treasures on the ground with their eyes wide open.
As long as they killed the store owner and these children, the money would be theirs.
Harold lay still.
Si Jin sat on a sofa beside him with his legs crossed, holding a treasure chest in his arms, and was wiping the gems in the chest one by one.
Tina looked at the manicure she had just done, sighed, and was about to stand up, when the four little dragons who were waiting for their nails to be done suddenly stood up.
Their pupils slowly shrank and turned into a vertical line, and scales began to appear on their faces and hands. They walked towards the bandits, "What did you just say you were going to do?"
The bandits began to realize that something was wrong. These children seemed... not human?
The scales and claws revealed their identities. The bandits' faces changed. They knew they had to escape quickly, but they found that their hands and feet were weak and did not obey their commands.
The faces of several dragons were covered with scales, and their dragon breath could no longer be suppressed.
Si Jin said without raising his head: "Don't destroy the store."
...
In the evening, on a barren mountain near the Black Mountain Wasteland, a dozen men leaned against the rock wall, trembling all over, and were so frightened that they could not make a sound.
Four giant dragons as big as small mountains surrounded them in the middle, shaking their tails slightly, and the earth shook.
The little golden dragon stared at the leader of the bandits, "It was him who said he wanted to rob our treasures."
The little green dragon nodded: "He also threatened the store owner."
The little blue dragon added: "He also laughed at Jiajia."
Jiajia was the little red dragon who was getting his nails done.
Finally, the little purple dragon said with disgust: "I don't want to eat people, throw them into the poisonous gas swamp."
The group of bandits were already scared silly.
That shop is so scary, are those all dragons?
In the nail salon, Lu Yao has already done Jia Jia's nails. The last dragon who was scheduled to have an appointment just went out with the bandits, and she is ready to take a break.
If she was not experienced, she would have been exhausted after doing three sets of gemstone manicures in a row.
Lu Yao walked to the sofa, raised her foot and poked Harold, asking him to sit down, and she wanted to sit down too.
Harold reluctantly moved a little, and Lu Yao sat down, leaned her head back on the cushion, closed
her eyes and rested. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, and Lu Yao frowned slightly.
Harold dropped the book, stood up, and opened the door.
Five or six men were holding short knives. The leader was a bearded, burly man with a drunken face. He was about to push the door open with his arm raised.
Harold was annoyed, "Are you done yet?"
He picked up the bearded man with one hand, swung him in the air, and threw him across the street.
The man fell to the ground and fell down, with a pool of blood.
The remaining five men were frightened by this scene. They sobered up in an instant and forgot all their thoughts.
Harold was like a dragon, with a gloomy face: "Get lost!"
After that day, no one in Emerald Town dared to attack the nail salon.
The terrible rumor that the owner of the shop raised a group of dragons began to spread in the town, and some people even said that the owner was a dragon.
Lu Yao: ...It doesn't matter.
Lixiu, Elvy and Feisa traveled overnight and finally returned to Emerald Town from Onorton City.
As soon as they arrived in the town, Lixiu and Elvy found that there was a new rumor in the town. Everyone was discussing whether the owner of the nail salon was a dragon.
Feisa frowned and looked at Lixiu: "The owner is a dragon?"
Elves and dragons are both extremely self-centered creatures, but elves focus on the peace and freedom in their hearts and ignore worldly affairs.
And because the dragons are powerful and act recklessly, they can accidentally cause chaos in the world.
Some elves hate the rough and unreasonable style of the dragons. When Feisa heard that Lu Yao might be a dragon, she was a little hesitant.
Lixiu shook her head, "The owner is a human. Something may have happened in the town, but I guarantee that the owner is definitely a human."
Feisa was skeptical.
Lixiu decided to take her directly to the nail salon.
When she saw the owner, she would understand that Lu Yao could not be a dragon.
Elvy had originally planned to go to the nail salon, so the three of them went together.
When they arrived at the nail salon, they found that the entrance was very deserted, and even other shops around were empty.
The big sister selling fruit next to her recognized Lixiu and immediately called out, "Oh, don't go to the nail salon, the owner is a dragon, so scary."
Elvy raised her hand and pushed open the door of the nail salon, "I'm going in, are you coming?"
Lixiu followed, "Wait for me."
Feisa hesitated for a few seconds, but still followed in.
In the store, Lu Yao was doing nails for Si Jin, surrounded by a circle of little dragon cubs.
I don’t know what’s wrong with these dragons. They don’t want to leave even after their nails are done.
The ones that had their nails done yesterday came again today.
Harold is also here, occupying the sofa and asking Lu Yao to find him some new picture books.
The store is overloaded with dragons, and there are all kinds of weird rumors in the town. No ordinary customers dare to enter the store. Lu Yao has lost hope in life.
When Li Xiu saw Lu Yao, she immediately greeted him happily: "Shopkeeper, I’m back."
This! Is! An! Ordinary! Customer!
And! A! Returning! Customer! Lu Yao
was delighted and asked kindly: "Did you have a good trip?"
Li Xiu nodded and pulled Feisha and said: "Look, the shopkeeper is just an ordinary person, how could he be a dragon?"
Feisha: "..."
The shopkeeper is indeed an ordinary person, but those who surround her are all dragons!
