I saw Shen Qiu sitting on a chair, concentrating on swiping his bracelet.
"Shen Qiu."
Angie yelled unhappily.
Shen Qiu was swiping his bracelet, so focused that he didn't hear Angie's call.
Angie then climbed onto Shen Qiu's body, pouting and shouting.
"Shen Qiu!"
"Huh? What happened to Angie?"
Shen Qiu came back to his senses and asked in confusion.
"What are you doing? You didn't respond when I called you."
"I'm looking for information about the LV5 realm. I've been stuck at LV4 for a long time, and my strength progress has been very slow, so I wanted to search the Internet to see if anyone has made a breakthrough."
Shen Qiu said to Angie with a smile.
"Has anyone made a breakthrough?"
Angie asked curiously.
"No, I haven't found any information about this. I guess no one has made a breakthrough."
Shen Qiu sighed and replied.
"oh."
Angie replied uninterested.
"What's wrong with you? You were so happy when you woke up this morning. Who bullied you?"
Shen Qiu asked with a smile.
"Your workers have such poor craftsmanship. I saw that they even made mistakes when laying bricks, not to mention other places."
"Zhang Can's skills are limited, and he can only do this much. And you can't use too high a standard to measure. If you look at it with your eyes, even a 1mm error can't be hidden."
"What about the materials? What materials did Fatty Huang buy? They are simply terrible. Go and take a look at the building across the street. It's decorated so well. The materials used are all top-notch."
Angie said with a pout.
Before Shen Qiu could speak, a voice came.
"I'm not responsible for this. It's mainly because of the insufficient budget. Otherwise, I can buy you any better materials you want."
Huang Lang walked over and said.
Shen Qiu said with a wry smile.
"Stop talking, I get it, what brought you here for?"
"I just calculated it, and the budget is really far off. After all, this building is too big."
Huang Lang said with a frown.
Shen Qiu pondered for a moment, then said to Huang Lang.
"How about this? Renovate the first three floors normally, and renovate all the floors above into rooms. This way the cost will be cheaper."
"No, why are we decorating so many rooms?"
Huang Lang asked in confusion.
"You are stupid. Of course it is for taking shelter at critical moments. The safety factor between the inner city and the outer city is also different. We have so many people, so we naturally need to prepare more."
Shen Qiu began to explain.
"Okay, I'll go make new plans then."
Huang Lang understood immediately and turned and left.
Shen Qiu then looked at Angie who was sulking and said with a smile.
"Okay, don't be depressed. I'll go talk to Zhang Can and ask them to do a better job."
"Hmph, forget it. There's no point talking. My mechanical army is better off doing the renovations. They will definitely crush them."
Angie snorted.
When Shen Qiu heard this, his heart moved slightly and he said.
"It doesn't seem impossible to ask your troops to come over to do the renovations! At worst, I can send them back later."
"Let me think about it. You should prepare the money first."
Angie replied uninterested.
"All right."
Shen Qiu responded with a wry smile, then he reached out and picked up Angie and stood up.
"Where are you going?"
Angie asked curiously.
"Go out and take a look around to see how the decoration is going."
Shen Qiu put Angie into his pocket and walked out. When he walked out of the room, he saw Bei Kairen sitting on an unopened material box, looking at his bracelet very seriously.
Shen Qiu was a little curious for a moment, so he walked over and asked.
"Old Bay, what are you doing?"
Bei Kailun didn't raise his head, but just replied indifferently.
"Place a bet and make some money."
After hearing this, Shen Qiu came over curiously.
When he saw the interface of Beikelen's bracelet, he was also stunned. He saw portraits lined up in a row, and the numbers below kept scrolling and jumping, which looked like a bet.
"What is this?"
Shen Qiu asked in confusion.
"This is a dark fund for gambling fights."
"Ah, what's going on?"
"Let me tell you briefly. Do you remember those people we ran into when that monster fell down?"
"Remember."
"In order to better protect the City of Stars, the Red Alliance and the Blue Alliance jointly established a department called Starlight. Those people are members of the Starlight department."
"What does that have to do with this gambling fund?"
"In addition to establishing the Starlight Department, the two alliances will also select 24 Star Envoys, which are actually equivalent to 24 battle captains. The selection will be open to all masters of the two alliances, even generals can participate. With such a grand selection competition, it is natural that some people will set up gambling and fight for funds."
Bei Kailun briefly explained.
"Wait, is this news reliable? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Shen Qiu was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Although it's just gossip, you have to trust the ability of the person who opened the market. Nine times out of ten, it's not wrong."
Bei Kailun said confidently.
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me."
Shen Qiu didn't seem very interested.
"Are you sure it's okay? Let me tell you, according to the information I got, the selection of the twenty-four star envoys this time is not that simple. To become a twenty-four star envoy, not only will you receive special rewards, but you will also gain great power and a huge amount of resources from the two alliances!"
Bei Kailun said to Shen Qiu with a smile.
"so good?"
Shen Qiu was also very surprised.
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
Bei Kailun didn't say much.

Ring 1 of Shenxing City, Dragon Palace Banquet Hall.
The entire hall is magnificent, with crystal chandeliers on the ceiling emitting soft light.
The floor was covered with golden tiles, and on the huge round dining table in the center was a lace tablecloth inlaid with gold threads. The table was filled with a variety of delicacies and pure gold tableware.
At this time, the whole hall was very lively. Vice Speaker Wang Heng, Vice Speaker Yun Kong, Bai Lin and others could be seen surrounding Speaker Long Yan, standing next to the dining table, chatting and laughing.
Long Er was standing on the periphery, yawning. He really had no interest in joining in the fun.
At this time, a heavy sound of footsteps was heard. Long Er turned his head and saw Wu Di striding in.
"Wu Di!"
Long Er waved at Wu Di.
Wu Di saw Long Er coming over and greeted him.
"Ryuji."
"When did you come back? We haven't seen each other for a long time."
Ryuji greeted with a smile.
"I came back a long time ago, but was delayed by something. Has the banquet not started yet?"
Wu Di turned his head and saw that people from the eight major families were present.
"Wait a little longer, no one has come yet."
Long Er replied, yawning.
"Who is it?"
Wu Di was also very confused.
Just then, another sound of footsteps was heard. Wu Di and others turned their heads and saw Long Xiu walking in with a solemn expression.
"Isn't this Long Xiu? He's back too? What day is today?"
Wu Di said in surprise.
