Even if you look at the entire Aknesen, Gumido is a leader in magic perception. Although there are not many female businessmen in Aknesen, they have always been more delicate.
She tried her best to suppress her somewhat rapid breathing, knowing that it would be best to look away or pretend nothing happened.
But Gumido really couldn't do it. At this moment, Pippi's spiritual will and soul seemed to be reflected through glasses.
Pippi's eyes were clear and bright, and the light seemed to carry warmth, as if to melt Gumido's heartbeat, which could not be faster, along with her heart.
"Oh, the noodles are ready again. Can everyone continue to eat?"
The sound of water boiling in the pot "boom, boop..." interrupted Pippi's thoughts and also took her eyes off the dazzling diamond.
"Uh good! Keep eating... I've never eaten anything so delicious!"
Gumido responded quickly, then hurriedly used a fork to pick noodles from the pot. She didn't look like a cold-blooded business queen at all, but more like a nervous little girl. Even Pippi thought she was particularly cute.
Gumido watched Pipi quietly and found that he had already used the two small wooden sticks to pick up the noodles, while the merchants around him had also started to eat. The members of his own caravan seemed to be reincarnated as starving ghosts, slurping up the noodles and drinking the noodle soup without fear of the heat.
She felt both relieved and disappointed about the embarrassing moment that just happened.
Of course, the instant noodles were still delicious, and the atmosphere in the tent was much warmer.
Gumido and Pippi were chatting relaxedly about various topics. After being baptized by the Earth's network, the latter had endless interesting things, which always made Gumido and the others in the convertible laugh inadvertently.
Some of the ideas that Pippi inadvertently revealed and the efforts he put into achieving them made Gumido understand more clearly the man favored by the "Business Opportunity Information Guide".
She knew that some big businessmen privately looked down on emerging upstarts like Pippi, especially the famous journal "Business Opportunity Information Guide", which was very fond of Pippi.
It has to be said that many big businessmen have become increasingly proud of being featured in the "Business Opportunity Information Guide" and are not reluctant to spend some money on it. However, Pippi is often praised by the journal, which makes many big businessmen in Aksen believe that this is only because the founder of the journal, Wikwei, is Pippi's friend.
Even Gumido herself was not interested in Pippi before, but now she feels that she was wrong. Not only that, she thinks the description of Pippi's personal charm in the journal is far from enough. Every big businessman is habitually labeled as charming, but Pippi should be more than just this!
That face, those eyes, that aura...
The popularity of "Dying Thoughts" is even higher than that of "Business Opportunity Information Guide" itself. The water magic orb represents a sad and beautiful regret. Gumido was also very touched when he first read it. He did not expect that the Dawn Merchant Group has really been doing this.
In that case... Pipi should be the Axelsen who takes feelings seriously...
"Mr. Gumido? Mr. Gumido? Are you listening?"
"ah!?"
Gumido was startled, feeling a little guilty but pretending to be calm as he looked at Pippi.
"What? I was distracted just now..."
"Oh, nothing... I just want to know how you came to Magson... You know, although our Dawn Merchant Group has expanded rapidly, our foundation is insufficient and our real strength is limited. The channels to come to Magson before all cost a huge price."
"I know this request is rude because it is a trade secret between big businessmen, but through talking, I feel that Mr. Gumido is a very kind Aksen... so I want to give it a try."
Seeing Gumido’s dazed look, Pippi waved his hands quickly.
"Of course, I will never take advantage of you. I will give you a suitable price! If Lord Gumido is unhappy about this, just pretend you didn't hear it!"
The channel to Magson? Yes! With their newly established business group, the cost of coming here will not be small, which is also what Gumido mentioned before.
I don’t know if it was the first time in her years of business that Gumido didn’t consider any profit issues.
The words "No problem, I'll help you!" came out of his mouth almost the next moment.
Pippi looked at her seriously.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
This thank you is very sincere.
Every trip their caravan makes to the higher worlds is very costly. Pipi, who has the support of the Dawn Association, sometimes feels heartbroken. Gumido is the only one who doesn't make things difficult for him in advance.
"By the way, Mr. Gumido, let me give you a gift as a thank you!"
As if he had made up his mind, Pippi patted the vest pocket on his chest and pulled out a string of crystals that sparkled all over.
It can be worn around the neck as a necklace or wrapped around as a bracelet.
Qin Xiaoxia specifically found a jewelry store that was still open and spent more than two thousand yuan to buy some artificial crystal jewelry. The crystal grains carved on it had different shapes, including classic gemstone faces and hearts, which were quite exquisite.
Pipi recalled that when he asked his teacher in his dream why this happened, the teacher's answer was that he could give it or not, it was up to him.
Pippi was actually a little embarrassed before, after all, she was the one who set up this trap, but now she thought that she should just give it to Gumido.
When Pipi took out the crystal string, all the Aksen in the tent were attracted.
The pursuit of profit is ingrained in the nature of this race, and even the Dawn Merchants are no exception. The exquisite shape of this crystal string and the magnificent gemstone surfaces allow light to trigger the crystal clearness of the jewelry from any angle.
Although it doesn't feel like it has any special powers, just looking at its appearance, it is undoubtedly a treasure, right?
"This... is for me?"
Pippi seemed a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
"I think it's suitable for you. Of course, it's not very valuable... but it was given to me by someone who is very important to me. It is unique in the whole Lobelica and even in the several worlds I'm familiar with! If you don't mind, I'll give it to you!"
“This…I…”
Before Gumido could finish her words, she had already stretched out her hands, and Pippi put the crystal necklace in her hands.
“Hoo…Hoo…”
Gumido looked at the shining crystal and her breathing became rapid. But she suddenly thought of the very important person that Pipi mentioned. Could it be that Mr. Pipi has already...
Such a beautiful gem must have been given by a lover, right?
His face looked inexplicably panicked and frustrated. Gumido knew he shouldn't ask, but he just couldn't close his mouth.
"Mr. Pipi, who is the person you are talking about who is very important to you?"
The tall voice suddenly appeared in Pippi's mind. The face was blurred under the cloak, but it stood in front of the dawn light.
"That was before I became famous... He is not Aksen, nor is he a creature from Lobelika. He is my mentor, the one who taught me the meaning of life. My ideals and beliefs were inspired by him..."
Pippi had never talked about anything on Earth with his fellow tribesmen, but it seemed harmless to not mention some details. As he recalled the past, his eyes revealed nostalgia.
"I used to be mediocre. In my mentor's words, I was as materialistic as any other Aksen. But he told me that I had my shining points and was the only Aksen he had ever seen... Haha, sorry to make me laugh. Actually, I am still a little confused now, but he taught me everything: knowledge! Character! Confidence!"
Thinking about when he would see his mentor again, Pippi sighed.
"This chain was given to me by my mentor. It might just be an interesting toy to him..."
Gumido's recent disappointment was swept away, her face felt a little hot, and her heart was beating so fast that it couldn't calm down.
I felt a little nervous holding the chain, so I asked other questions to ease my composure.
"What kind of creature is the mentor you mentioned?"
"As for a mentor... for Axelsen, he should not be a common creature. If it weren't for coincidence, it would be difficult for me to see him."
Although Pipi knew that the real existence of the mentor was not simple, but when he thought of Aksen's situation, the eternal belief of the Dawn Association first appeared in his mind.
"Teacher... the world he lives in once faced a huge crisis. Unlike Axelsen, it was a terrifying world on the brink of destruction..."
Pipi broke down some of the popular contents of the Ancient Dark Tide with great immersion and described them in a way that Aksen could understand.
The tension and depression made the breathing sounds in the tent much weaker.
"At that moment, people like the mentor stood up. They looked for the light, but unknowingly they had become the light in the darkness, leading the arrival of the dawn..."
Gumido stared at the name of the Dawn Merchant Group on the tent in a daze.
"So you named your business group Dawn to commemorate your mentor and to help Axelsen get out of the darkness?"
Pippi was stunned and looked at her embarrassedly.
"That's about right! Aren't you overestimating yourself a bit?"
The rain stopped unnoticed, and Pippi stretched his hand outside the tent, but no raindrops fell on it.
"It's great. I'm full and the rain has stopped... It's great!"
Gumido clenched the chain in his hand, but was afraid of crushing the gem if he squeezed too hard.
The rain stopped, and everyone had eaten their fill. The caravan had its own business plans, so there was no reason for her to stay, and it was time to leave...
Feeling very happy and delighted, Gumido discovered that a short time in this tent was countless times more comfortable than being in her own mansion in the Chamber of Commerce capital.
…
As the camel caravan was galloping along, Gumido found the 18th issue of "Business Opportunity Information Guide" from her luggage.
Many big businessmen collect every issue of genuine magazines, and Gumido is no exception.
Turning to the last page, there is a short article by the founder Weikewei. In the middle there is a paragraph about relatives and friends, and Pippi is also mentioned.
"Many businessmen may not understand my lifelong friend and guiding light, Pipi, but he is the one I can trust with my back!"
The crystal necklace in her hand was very beautiful, but Gumido was reluctant to wear it, so she carefully put it in her vest pocket. There were some unfamiliar foreign characters engraved on one of the large heart-shaped gems, but she was too excited at the time and did not notice it.
"They really overestimate their own abilities. Mr. Pipi actually boasted in front of our merchant group leader that he wanted to change the entire Aksen. They..."
A shrill voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Pah~"
A beast whip with abundant magical power hit the speaker's face hard, knocking him directly off the camel's back.
"Shut up!"
Gumido didn't even look at the guy who was beaten half to death by her. Instead, she was thinking about Pipi's self-deprecating words "overestimating one's own abilities".
'No, Pippi, you didn't!'
