Chapter 84 Dolly and Mora
With Kapil leading the way, Liu Bai soon arrived in front of the shop of the pink-haired little girl and her people.
"Hey, my two guests, welcome to Dolly's Department Store. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing the two people coming, a little girl named Dolly beside them immediately came over.
Although these shops were under her control, Dolly liked to personally entertain customers and earn Mora from them.
“You’re the one who sold the stuff to them?”
Liu Bai did not respond to Dolly, but turned back to confirm with Kapil.
"Um, yes, yes sir."
Kapil nodded quickly.
"Hey, what do you two mean by this? I don't quite understand."
The situation was pretty much what Dolly had guessed, but she still played dumb.
"…The things he sold here are all mine. Now give them back to me."
Liu Bai took a deep breath, then explained to Dolly and raised his hand to ask for it.
"So that's how it is. I understand, my dear guest."
"But we are doing a legal business. We bought all those things. If you want to take them away, it would be reasonable to at least return Mora to us, right?"
Dolly crossed her arms and nodded in understanding, then explained with a smile.
Hearing her say this, Liu Bai nodded and looked back at Kapil, who had no choice but to take out his purse and hand it to Dolly.
Dolly happily took the purse, weighed it, and opened it.
"That's not right, my friends. The numbers don't match."
"Let's not talk about anything else. The current market price of that card alone has been driven up to 8700 million Mora. If we don't compensate according to the market price, it will be difficult for us to deal with it."
Counting the number of Mora inside, Dolly raised a finger and shook it along with her head.
Although the card was not obtained legally, she obtained it through a normal transaction, so she would not be in the right even if the owner brought the disciplinary officer to her door.
"Eighty-seven million Moras?! But you only gave me eight thousand Moras at that time!"
Hearing the price, Kapil was shocked and quickly objected loudly.
"Give her money."
Liu Bai stared at Kapil and spoke coldly.
"Sir, I don't have that much money..."
Kapil, who was being stared at, felt a chill running up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He could only explain in a trembling voice, and even put his hands together in a gesture of prayer.
"If you don't have money, then go away and cool off!"
Liu Bai became a little impatient, so he raised his foot and kicked Kapil in the chest, sending him flying five or six meters away, crashing into a roadside fruit stall. For a moment, it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.
The owner of the stall was an old man. The sudden situation forced him to look at Liu Bai with an aggrieved expression.
Seeing this, Liu Bai casually popped out a few Mora coins with the largest denominations and let them fly in front of the stall owner.
Then Liu Bai turned around and looked at Dolly.
"You got a bargain. Take it and return it to me."
Liu Bai took out another Mora coin with the largest denomination and handed it to Dolly.
"That's not right, sir. Didn't we agree on 87 million? It's very difficult for me to handle this."
Dolly's eyes lit up and she quickly took Mora from Liu Bai's hand, but she still shook her head and spoke with some regret.
"Is it difficult to do it? Then don't do it!"
"Give it back to me!"
The next moment, a pure white lightsaber was placed on Dolly's neck.
"Meow--!"
Dolly was so frightened that her fur stood on end. She let out a scream like a cat, and her hair almost stood up.
"Guest, guest, calm down! Calm down! If there is anything, we can just discuss it properly. This will attract the disciplinary officer and the thirty-man group!"
The invisible pressure caused Dolly's forehead to be covered with sweat, so she had to persuade Liu Bai carefully.
Under Dolly's persuasion, Liu Bai, who had calmed down a little due to his "selfless and heartless" state, slowly retracted his lightsaber.
"Look, it's only 87 million Mora. Considering the customer's financial resources, it shouldn't be a problem...eh?"
Seeing that there was something going on, Dolly continued speaking quickly.
However, after Liu Bai retracted his lightsaber, he grabbed Dolly by the collar.
Since Dolly's top was very small, Liu Bai could only grab a little bit with his fingers, but it was enough to lift Dolly up.
Bang-!
Liu Bai didn't use too much force to hurt her life, but when his fist lightly touched Dolly's abdomen, she immediately felt as if she had been hit hard, and she arched her body and almost vomited.
"You like Mora very much?"
Seeing Dolly's painful expression, Liu Bai asked her.
"Uh... of course... Mora is the best thing..."
Holding her stomach in pain, Dolly answered with difficulty, finally feeling a little scared. Why was this person so unreasonable? Why did he completely ignore the laws of Xumi?
"Okay, then I'll do your bidding. I'll ask you questions and you can answer them."
"What kind of garbage are you? What is this?"
Liu Bai nodded, then immediately asked Dolly, and at the same time took out a bunch of golden Mora out of thin air to attract her attention.
"Mora! It's Mora!"
Looking at the pile of Mora with the highest denomination, Dolly's eyes lit up and she spoke loudly, as if the pain disappeared all of a sudden, and she even ignored Liu Bai's other words.
Just after she finished speaking excitedly, her body suddenly began to twist.
Under the watchful eyes of Liu Bai and her men, her body twisted and shrank rapidly, and disappeared in a moment, leaving only a Mora of a somewhat peculiar style falling to the ground.
"?!!"
Dolly's men were so frightened that they sat down on the ground, backing away with their eyes wide open in horror, too frightened to utter a word.
"If you don't want to be like your master, just give me back my things. Do you understand?"
Bending down and picking up Mora from the ground, Liu Bai looked at Dolly's men and smiled.
But in his eyes, this smile was simply the smile of the devil. Turning people into objects was something that only demons and witches in stories could do, right?
"My lord, please wait a moment!"
Dolly's men quickly climbed up from the ground, returned to the store and put all the things back into the box, then ran out and handed it to Liu Bai.
Liu Bai took the box and took a look. The Eternal Flowing Ceremony, the Palace Master's Royal Coins, the Bow-knot Pen, the out-of-print limited edition cards, etc. were all there.
"Where's my sea otter doll?"
Not finding his sea otter doll, Liu Bai continued to ask Dolly's men.
"That doll? Because it was too worn out and had no value, I threw it into the discarded junk pile..."
bang——
The next second he flew out to accompany Kapil, but this time Liu Bai used more strength, and the possibility of him not dying was very low.
"Go to the discipline officer to claim your master after a while."
After finding the sea otter doll from the pile of junk, Liu Bai wiped the dust off it with his hand with a look of concern. Then he said something to the shivering errand boy in the room and flew away with the thing.
……
"Girl! I caught a profiteer! I'm going to find a way to lock her up for ten days or half a month!"
In the office of the God of Grass, Liu Bai trotted and placed the Mora in front of Nashida's desk, and spoke to Nashida seriously.
"Profligate? Who? Could it be Dolly?"
Hearing Liu Bai's words, Nashida asked subconsciously.
After all, when it comes to well-known profiteers in Xumi, Dolly is definitely the most famous one.
"I think so. Anyway, he has pink hair and is about the same height as you."
Liu Bai touched his chin, recalled Dolly's appearance and explained to Nashida.
Afterwards, Liu Bai explained the whole story, from how his checked-out hotel belongings were sold as sundries to how he snatched the belongings back from Dolly.
Since Liu Bai was used to taking things out of his residence and keeping them by his side, and he had not expected to take action today, Liu Bai did not put his things back into the system utility room in advance when he left the hotel.
"I see. Although it's their fault, next time you have problems, you can come to me first and I will help you get it back. Don't do it in the city like you did this time. It won't have a good impact."
After hearing what happened, Nashida nodded, and then couldn't help but give Liu Bai some advice.
"OK."
Liu Bai had no choice but to nod obediently.
"Now, I'll ask the discipline officer to arrest her. It's easy to convict her of a crime."
Seeing Liu Bai nod, Nashida continued speaking.
"No, she's right here."
Liu Bai immediately pointed at Mora who he had placed on the table and explained.
"…You turned her into Mora?"
Looking at Mora on the table, Nashida couldn't help but think of the scene where Liu Bai turned into a cabbage, and said with some surprise.
She hadn't thought that Liu Bai's ability could actually be used by others...
