Lu Yao spent some time going to the bank to deposit money. He put 200,000 yuan into the card he often used for spending, and the remaining 800,000 yuan into four different bank cards. After going through five banks, he 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.
Lu Yao opened the shop door, took a step back, and raised his hands to cover his eyes. What was blinding him
“The door is finally open!”
"Is she the store owner Harold was talking about?"
"The foreigner with black hair and black eyes should be her!"
Lu Yao waited until her eyes adjusted before putting down her hand. A group of boys and girls about Harold's age stood in front of the store. What caught her eyes were the treasures neatly lined up 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 identities and purpose of this group of boys and girls.
Are you here for team building
The neighbors were shocked when they saw Harold yesterday, but today they seemed numb. They stared blankly at the door of the nail salon without even moving their eyeballs.
A girl in a red dress and with red hair tied into twin ponytails walked up to Lu Yao, her eyes big and bright, "Shopkeeper, I want to do a manicure."
The five or six boys and girls behind her immediately echoed: "Shop owner, I want to do manicures too!"
Lu Yao opened the door of the store: "... Please come in and wait."
The aura was so strong, it was just a manicure, but it was like he was going to fight with someone, I was almost scared to death.
The young boys and girls entered the store one after another, holding their treasures. When 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 thing.
Lu Yao prepared snacks and drinks, handed over the tablet, took out her cell phone and opened the photo album, asking them to look at the styles first, as she had to go out and buy the groceries.
She was not afraid of leaving these little dragons alone in the store. The whole store was not worth the treasures carried by one little dragon, so what was there to be afraid of
On the way to buy groceries, Lu Yao was thinking about hiring someone. When she was busy, at least there had to be a clerk to help greet customers.
If she could find the right clerk, she would like to train two or three apprentices. She could not support a nail salon by herself.
Lu Yao went to the meat stall and bought two pieces of Monster Meat. Monster Meat is more expensive than ordinary pork and beef. Lu Yao has eaten it before and knows the difference is huge, so he didn't worry too much about the price.
There were six or seven little dragons queuing up in the store waiting to get manicures. The nail salon would definitely be able to succeed in this world. She didn't have to worry about having no money, so she bought a few baskets of vegetables and spent 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. They always want to find the best treasures and take them for themselves.
Even if they just want to choose a nail art style, they have to look at them all and then pick out the one they like best.
Lu Yao ignored them and opened the door to deliver 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 a breath of space magic on the door.
But soon, the owner came back.
Tina walked over holding her treasure, "I've chosen the style."
Lu Yao took a look and found that his style was indeed the same as Harold's.
She was not surprised at all, no dragon could resist Shining.
Tina put the treasure aside, took out a bag, and poured out a bunch of rubies. "I want to use these gems to decorate my nails."
She is a little red dragon with fire attribute. She is naturally attracted to fire and likes rubies that are similar in color to the abyss fire.
She liked Hadro's clumsy claws, but Tina didn't want to have the same manicure as him.
Dragons are greedy and selfish.
They like things that must be unique.
After hearing the request, Lu Yao quickly came up with an idea.
She drew the blueprint and Tina liked it at first sight.
Tina's nails are relatively short and seem to have been specially polished.
Lu Yao suggested that the nails should be extended 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. She asked, "Do you want it to be longer?"
Lu Yao was used to not being surprised, so he nodded and said, "Just right."
At this time, two more little dragons chose their styles. Lu Yao said that doing their nails would take a long time, so they could write down the styles they wanted, go out and play for a while and come back later.
The little dragon cubs were reluctant to go out and gathered around Lu Yao, staring at her movements curiously.
Lu Yao easily drew a beautiful flame pattern on Tina's nails with just two strokes, and the little dragons were surprised.
They are always in a rush and rarely take the time to observe such delicate work.
Lu Yao designed a flame nail for Tina. A flame totem extends upward from the fingertips. The flame is a gradient of silver and red. The fingertips are primed with dark red, then painted with delicate silver cat-eye nail polish. A magnet is used to draw a shallow arc of light on the fingertips.
Carefully draw a gradient shadow on the flame, draw a circle of fine lines on the edge, apply glue, and brush a layer of rose gold magic mirror powder. A small cluster of flames seems to be dancing as the fingertips tremble.
Tina stared in fascination, it was even more beautiful than she had imagined.
The shape of the flame on each finger is different. Lu Yao chose to decorate only the index finger, ring finger and little finger with the rubies brought by Tina. He selected the gems of suitable shapes, used magic to shrink them to the desired size, and then attached them to the nails.
Tina likes the design on her ring finger the most.
The magma-like red color only occupies two-fifths of the entire nail. It is not as fierce as a flame, but only has fine ripple-like lines on the surface. It is brushed with that kind of bright powder, sparkling. A few sharp rubies with gaps are randomly dotted on the upper part, like flames leaping from magma, very vivid.
The two nails without gems are decorated with thin silver chains, with red and silver interlaced, shiny and layered, with an indescribable delicate beauty.
Tina raised her hands and gently shook her fingers, and tiny fragments of light leaped out from her fingertips.
For the first time, she felt that the dragons’ aesthetic taste was crude. It turned out that a painting did not need to be filled with gems everywhere to be so beautiful that a dragon could not take its eyes away.
"It's my turn, shopkeeper. I like this style." The blond boy immediately came up to Lu Yao and said.
They couldn't wait to see a manicure being completed up close.
Lu Yao glanced at the time. It took him three hours to finish Tina's set, and there were six little dragons left. Even if he worked overtime, he would not be able to finish it in a whole day.
She wrote down the styles that each little dragon liked and made an appointment with them for the exact time. She could make at most three today, so she asked the little dragons who had an appointment for tomorrow to go back first.
But some of them were reluctant to leave and surrounded Lu Yao, insisting on watching her do her manicure.
Tina stood beside Lu Yao and watched very attentively. The owner's technique was skillful and smooth, and just watching her work made Long enjoy it immensely.
Her designs always surprise the dragons. Different little dragons have different preferences. Every set of manicures she makes is beautiful in its own way and completely in line with the dragons' preferences.
Si Jin came to the nail salon with the carefully selected gemstones. He met Harold at the door and frowned, "Why are you here again?"
You're not coming to get a manicure
Damn, he only picked one box of gems. Should he go back and pick some more
Harold also sulked, "I like it here."
The two of them were glaring at each other at the door, but they didn't fight as soon as they met like they used to, mainly because their hands were not convenient enough.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw the owner of the nail salon surrounded by six or seven baby dragons.
Si Jin was the first to greet, "Shopkeeper, I want to change my manicure."
Lu Yao took the time to look at him and said calmly: "Today's appointment is full, is tomorrow afternoon okay?"
Si Jin collapsed, blaming himself for being too engrossed in selecting gems last night and spending too much time on it.
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 leaned over to watch Lu Yao doing her nails for a while, and then he touched a strange book on the table. It had pictures and words on it and looked quite interesting.
There was a sofa next to him. Harold sat on the sofa with the book and read 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 different space it would automatically appear as the language of another world, which Harold could fully understand.
Si Jin was not in a hurry to leave. He saw Tina's new manicure and was secretly jealous.
Although it doesn't have Harold's flash, Tina's manicure is extremely delicate and is embellished with real rubies, which is very suitable for this little fire dragon.

In a tavern on a street corner in Emerald Town, five or six men were sitting together, with wine bowls and two plates of snacks on the table.
The short, thin man with shifty eyes spoke first: "Today, six or seven more kids carried treasures to that store. Everyone in the town saw it. If we robbed them, the money would be enough for us to live a carefree life."
The tall and strong man with a full beard said, "The woman in the nail salon is ordinary and weak, she doesn't know magic, and she dares to show off her money. She should be taught a lesson."
The tall and thin young man said hesitantly, "But we went there last night. There was something fishy going on with the door of that store. We couldn't open it no matter what we did."
Another person said, "I think something is wrong. The child who brought the treasure and the store are both very strange. How could a normal person be so ostentatious? It might be a trap."
The bearded man slammed his hand on the table and raised his voice: "They are just ignorant young masters and young ladies from rich families. They dare to show off with so much money and without any guards. They are just as good as fat sheep. Those money and jewelry are not fake. If we don't fight for 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 against immediately, so he had no choice but to bow his head and beg for mercy.
They had someone following him and recording the time when Lu Yao closed the store during those days.
There are usually no customers, so the store closes in the evening.
When no one was in the store, the door could not be opened from the outside.
The robbers decided to wait until the afternoon before the nail salon closed.
There were not many people on the street at that time. They went straight into the store, took the owner and the children hostage, robbed the treasures and ran away.
After the discussion, they seemed to have seen the successful robbery and a future of extravagant spending with a large amount of treasure, so they raised their wine bowls and laughed.

In the nail salon, Lu Yao finished doing the manicure for the second little dragon and was stretching to loosen up his sore shoulders.
[Successfully received five guests, progress of illustration collection reached 4, Luyao Nail Salon upgraded to a one-star store. Rewarded with 100 popularity points, dragon-specific gem glue formula 1, and a drop of starlight.]
[You have a new task! Receive 20 guests and you will be rewarded with 500 popularity points, Dragon Special Gem Glue Formula 2, and 3 drops of Starlight! ]
Lu Yao was stunned. It turns out that glue really has a formula. And what is the starlight
Only one drop, this reward is too stingy.
Lu Yao was extremely curious, but the third little dragon had already sat down, looking at her expectantly.
Forget it, I'll finish the work first and I'll look at the reward after closing the store at night.
The third dragon was also a little red dragon, but he was a teenager.
She has short red hair that reaches her ears, a pair of pointed little canine teeth, and she looks very cute when she smiles.
He poured out a bag of black gems and wanted Lu Yao to design him a cool and handsome set of manicure.
Lu Yao drew a draft on the paper, and the little red dragon nodded with satisfaction.
She polished the little red dragon's nails, applied base coat, and drew the pattern, leaving only the finishing touches. The door of the store was suddenly pushed open, and a group of strong men rushed in with various weapons.
A dozen adult men immediately occupied the nail salon and cornered Lu Yao and a group of young boys and girls. The leading man waved the broadsword in his hand and shouted intimidation: "Don't move. Hand over all your treasures and I'll let you go!"
It was the first time that Lu Yao had seen such a scene. He did not expect that someone would dare to break into a house and rob in broad daylight, with cold weapons in their hands, as if they were not afraid at all.
Her hands trembled because of distraction. The little red dragon who was doing her nails got nervous and turned around and yelled, "You scared her!"
The gangsters had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation. They only regarded Little Red Dragon as a pampered young master. They believed that these children and the store owner were completely under their control. The leader laughed with his neck tilted back: "Hahahahaha, did you hear that? The young master is angry. Don't let him go later."
They love to bully this kind of young master who comes from a good family and has a bad temper.
The bandits laughed and gathered in the middle, their eyes wide open as they stared at the treasures all over the ground.
As long as they kill the shop owner and these kids, the money will be theirs.
Harold lay still.
Si Jin sat cross-legged on a single sofa beside him, with a treasure chest in his arms, wiping the gems in the box one by one.
Tina looked at the manicure she had just done, sighed, and prepared to stand up, but the four little dragons who were waiting to have their nails done suddenly stood up.
Their pupils slowly contracted and turned into a vertical line, and scales began to appear on their faces and hands. They walked towards the bandits and asked, "What did you say you were going to do?"
The gangsters began to realize that something was wrong. These kids seemed... not human
The scales and claws revealed their identities. The gangsters' faces changed. They knew they had to escape quickly, but they found that their hands and feet were weak and unresponsive.
The faces of several little dragons were already covered with scales, and their dragon breath could no longer be suppressed.
Si Jin said without even looking up: "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, so frightened that they could not make a sound.
Four giant dragons as big as mountains surrounded them, shaking their tails slightly, causing the earth to shake.
Little Golden Dragon stared at the leader of the bandits, "He was the one who said he wanted to steal our treasure."
The little green dragon nodded: "He also frightened the shop owner."
Xiao Qinglong added: "He also laughed at Jiajia."
Jiajia is the little red dragon who is doing his nails.
Finally, the little purple dragon said with disdain: "I don't want to eat people, throw them into the poisonous swamp."
The gangsters were frightened.
That store is so scary, are those all dragons
-
In the nail salon, Lu Yao had already done Jia Jia's nails. The little dragon who had the last appointment had just gone out with the bandits, so she was ready to take a break.
After doing three sets of jewel manicures in a row, she would have fainted from exhaustion if she wasn't experienced.
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 his head back on the cushion, and closed his eyes to rest.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, and Lu Yao frowned slightly.
Harold dropped his book, stood up, and opened the shop door.
There were five or six men holding daggers. The leader was a bearded, burly man with a red face. He was raising his arm and preparing to push the door open.
Harold looked annoyed. "Is this the end?"
After saying that, he picked up the bearded man with one hand, swung him in the air, and threw him across the street.
The strong man fell to the ground and collapsed, leaving a pool of blood.
The remaining five men were frightened by this scene. They sobered up instantly and forgot all their thoughts.
Harold's dragon breath was exposed, his face was gloomy: "Get out!"
After that day, no one in Emerald Town dared to target the nail salon anymore.
Terrible rumors began to spread in the town that the owner kept a group of dragons, and some people even said that the owner was a dragon himself.
Lu Yao: …It doesn’t matter.
-
Lixiu, Elvy and Feisa traveled all night and finally returned to Emerald Town from Onoton City.
As soon as they arrived in the town, Lixiu and Elvy discovered that there was a new rumor in the town. Everyone was actually discussing whether the owner of the nail salon was a dragon.
Feisa frowned and looked at Lixiu: "The owner is a dragon?"
Both elves and dragons are extremely self-centered creatures, but elves focus on their inner peace and freedom and don't care about worldly affairs.
However, the dragon clan is so powerful and reckless that they can easily cause chaos in the world.
Some elves hate the dragons' rough and unreasonable behavior. When Feisa heard that Lu Yao might be a dragon, she felt 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."
Fraser was skeptical.
Lixiu decided to take her directly to the nail salon.
When you meet the owner, you will understand that Lu Yao cannot be a dragon.
Elvy originally planned to go to the nail salon, so the three of them went together.
They arrived at the nail salon and found that the entrance was extremely deserted, and even the other shops around were empty.
The lady selling fruit nearby recognized Lixiu and immediately said, "Hey, don't go to the nail salon. The owner is a dragon. He's so scary."
Elvy raised her hand and pushed open the door of the nail salon. "I'm going in. Are you guys coming?"
Lixiu followed, "Wait for me."
Feisa hesitated for a few seconds, but still followed in.
In the shop, Lu Yao was doing Si Jin’s nails, surrounded by a circle of little dragon cubs.
I don’t know what’s wrong with these dragons. Even after their nails were done, they still didn’t want to leave.
The ones that had their nails done yesterday came back again today.
Harold was there too, occupying the couch and asking Lu Yao to find him some new picture books.
The store is overcrowded with people, there are all kinds of weird rumors in the town, and 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!
Still! A! Returning! Customer!
Lu Yao was delighted and asked kindly, "Did you have a good trip?"
Lixiu nodded, pulled Feisa and said, "Look, the owner is just an ordinary person, how could he be a dragon?"
Fraser: “…”
The shop owner is indeed an ordinary person, but those surrounding her are all dragons!
