Chapter 298
In the dim room, Aphra knelt in front of the bed, her head pressed against the floor, her butt raised high, one arm stretched under the bed to grope, and dragged out a beautiful red wooden box from under the bed.
Hum~
Afra held her chest high with a confident smile on her face.
Cheng Yu saw the smile on Aphra's face, and then looked at the red wooden box, "What's in it?"
"The gold coins I earned."
Afra smiled, "The Ocean Bookstore will send someone to urge the manuscript every once in a while, and bring the royalties from my writing books together. Take a look, the money I made during this period."
Cheng Yu opened the red wooden box, which was full of gold coins, estimated to be several thousand.
"Xiaofu, you are amazing."
Afra actually made so much money from writing books.
Think about it, before, Silufenni worked hard to carve amulets to earn money to redeem herself, but she didn't make much money.
Afra's ability to make money is far better than Silufenni.
"These gold coins are useless to me, I'll give them to you."
Afra generously gave Cheng Yu several thousand gold coins.
"Rich woman!"
Cheng Yu excitedly hugged Afra's slender waist.
"What a clumsy guy."
Being held by Cheng Yu, Afra pouted and pretended to be angry, but she was somewhat happy in her heart.
[Afra's favorability towards the host +5]
After a long separation, the favorability between the two further increased.
The favorable impression showed that Afra was not really angry. Cheng Yu did not let go of Afra. On the contrary, he hugged her tighter and smiled, "Xiaofu, I saw the snake people in the Silver Moon Forest this time. The snake heads of the snake people are really long."
"Ah? Why are you talking about this?"
Afra didn't know why Cheng Yu suddenly mentioned the snake people.
"Last time I heard you say that in Celsis continent, the snake people have the longest snake heads, and your blood race ranks second. I want to try and see if your blood race is really second."
Afra narrowed her eyes and instantly understood what Cheng Yu wanted to do. What a bad guy.
However, Aphra had a good impression of Cheng Yu and did not refuse Cheng Yu's request. She slightly raised her little face and closed her eyes, "Come on."
Looking at the beauty in his arms, Cheng Yu smiled slightly.
After measuring the length, Cheng Yu wiped the corners of his mouth, left Aphra's room, and came to the courtyard of the manor.
Mina and the other four sat at the stone table in the courtyard.
Mina and Ivennie have a good relationship. She held Ivennie's hand and talked to Ivennie about the interesting things she had experienced when she went home this time. Her little mouth was like a machine gun, chattering non-stop.
Meiweier found a dogtail grass from somewhere, with a calm and leisurely expression. She held her chin with one hand and used the dogtail grass with the other hand to tease Silufennie.
Silufanny followed the dogtail grass, pounced left and right.
Cheng Yu walked to Ivennie and patted her shoulder, "Where's Lily?"
"She went back to the golden tree."
Ivennie replied.
As a tree spirit, Lily could not leave the golden tree for too long, nor could she go too far away.
"Let's go and see the construction of the new town."
When leaving Bailu Island, Cheng Yu asked Antoine to be responsible for the construction of the new town, more than 6,000 refugees, more than 2,000 laborers, and a minotaur with the strength of a fifth-level warrior.
More than a month has passed, and I don't know how the new town is built.
Cheng Yu walked behind Meiweier, who was still waving the dogtail grass to tease Silufanny.
While Meiweier was not paying attention, Cheng Yu snatched the dogtail grass from Meiweier's hand from behind, "Evil dragon, don't bully my little cat."
"Humph, damn human~"
Meiweier cursed.
I didn't know who used a feather duster to tease this cat lady before.
Silphine stared at Mayville with resentment. The black dragon clan, who were born evil, were so scary.
Cheng Yu touched Silphine's head and comforted her, "I'll make you some dried fish with catnip sauce tonight."
"Really?"
Thinking of the wonderful taste of dried fish with catnip sauce, the resentful expression on Silphine's face disappeared, and her eyes seemed to be flashing with little stars.
"Of course."
"That's great, master, you're so nice."
Silphine stood up and leaned against Cheng Yu obediently, and the black cat tail behind her rubbed Cheng Yu's elbow affectionately.
The furry cat tail touched the skin, which was very comfortable.
Cats have different personalities. Some cats are very cold and look down on you no matter you are poor or rich; some cats are very clingy, the kind that can be deceived by a dried fish.
Cheng Yu still remembers that when he was in college, he often fed the stray cats in the school with dried fish. The stray cats raised their tails, rubbed his calves, and finally chased him into his dormitory.
Xilufenni seems to belong to the latter.
"Let's go and see the construction of the new town."
If you want to go to the new town construction site, you mustThey must pass through Jinsha Town.
Mina and the other four followed Cheng Yu out of the manor and walked towards Jinsha Town.
The five walked outside Jinsha Town. After the expansion by Mayor Carter, Jinsha Town is larger than before, with six main streets, many intricate alleys between the main streets, and more pedestrians in the town.
The spacious bluestone street is spotless.
Walking along the street into Jinsha Town, there are all kinds of stores on both sides of the street, grocery stores, flower shops, blacksmith shops, weapon shops, restaurants...
Walking to the center of Jinsha Town, there is a huge casino with the words "Jinsha Casino" written on the sign.
Cheng Yu noticed that there was another large store next to Jinsha Casino, with a sign at the door saying "Jinsha Business".
Walking to the door of Jinsha Casino, the guard at the door was a former resident of Dark Night City. He knew Cheng Yu and immediately greeted him with a smile, "Lord, why are you here?"
"Where is Carter? Let him come out to see me." Cheng Yu said.
"Yes, Lord."
A guard immediately went in to find Carter.
After a while, Carter hurried out of the casino, fearing that he would neglect the Lord.
Carter made a lot of money running the casino. He ate delicacies every day. Now he had a big belly and was almost fat like a ball.
"Lord, you are back."
Carter had a flattering smile on his face. He knew that Cheng Yu had left Bailu Island and had not seen Cheng Yu for more than a month.
"What is this Jinsha Commercial Bank?"
Cheng Yu pointed to the commercial bank next to the casino.
"Some time ago, I went to Pease Harbor to buy things and saw that a commercial bank was about to go bankrupt. I spent money to buy that commercial bank, changed its name to Jinsha Commercial Bank, and did a small business of a few billion."
"You are really rich."
Carter not only spent money to expand Jinsha Town, but also had extra money to buy a commercial bank.
Carter smiled and said, "The lord only collects 1% tax. Gamblers from more than a dozen major cities along the coast are all attracted to Bailu Island, and many rich people come to the island to travel. The hotels and restaurants in the town are doing very well."
"Okay, there's nothing else to do. I'll just ask."
Although Cheng Yu is a hands-off boss, he still has to ask about some things.
