Chapter 124 The Value of Anise

The city of Bangta is far less noisy and lively than the daytime. Except for some businesses that are still open at night, the entire city seems to have gradually fallen into a deep sleep.

If you look from a high altitude at this time, there will inevitably be darkness below, with only a few places illuminating lights, and not like the cities on the earth. Even at night, it will be brightly lit.

Among these lights, Xu Yi's home is also included.

Unlike the usual candlelight, now on the table in Xu Yi’s living room, there is a magic lamp placed.

The light green glass cover released with a hint of green light not only illuminates the whole room transparently, but also supports one arm and lowers his head slightly to make a contemplative look even brighter and more beautiful.

Seeing Steele's fair and tender skin even under direct light, Xu Yi couldn't help but exclaim: "Steele, I think you can be the spokesperson for the Chanel Chamber of Commerce. Using your excellent skin as an advertisement, it will ensure that the Chanel Chamber of Commerce's perfumes and powders will be more popular than before!"

Although Steele still kept his posture and his expression on his face remained basically the same, he hummed softly from his nose, opened his red lips and said, "It's useless to please me. If you don't tell me why this elf follows you, I won't forgive you."

Xu Yi looked at Yanis, who was holding a drawing board in his hand and was concentrating on painting, and replied with a wry smile: "Didn't I tell you during dinner? She came to me to help solve the problems encountered by their tribe. The reason she followed me was to wait for me to handle the matter here. Then she took me to their tribe. Do you think so, Yanis?"

"Ah?" Yanis was concentrating on painting. Suddenly he heard Xu Yi mention her name. He was stunned for a moment and looked up at Xu Yi, then nodded blankly. "Ah. Yes."

Seeing Yanis's appearance, Steele snorted again: "Xu Yi, if you want to collude with her, at least you have to spend some time. Do you think I will believe this?"

Xu Yi was immediately amazed and laughed.

"We are not prisoners. What kind of confession do we mess with?"

Xu Yi was about to explain again, but suddenly saw a trace of depression flashing across Steele's face, and his heart moved, and he couldn't say what happened next.

There was a rather awkward silence in the room.

Xu Yi stared at Steele for a long time and suddenly said, "Steele, I heard from the great magician Camilla. On the night I came back from Anweimar City, you personally cooked a few dishes and wanted to invite me to your house for dinner?"

Steele's expression froze, then he said calmly: "You didn't come that day, I poured all the dishes. What did you suddenly say about this?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered it and wanted to say thank you." Xu Yi said. "In this world, except Vivian, it's the first time someone has prepared a meal at home to invite me to dinner. I'm very happy."

Vivian, who had not spoken before, narrowed her eyes and smiled with a slight smug look on her face.

Steele could no longer hold his posture, raised his head in surprise and asked, "First time? Haven't you ever been before?"

"No." Xu Yi shook his head, thinking that although he had it on earth, it was indeed the first time in this world.

Steele seemed to know Xu Yi for the first time. After looking at Xu Yi several times, a smile suddenly appeared on his face and said, "Okay, because you still know how to thank you. I will forgive you this time. In addition, I will give you a privilege. If you want to eat the dishes I cook, tell me at any time and I will cook it for you. Of course, this privilege is only once. You should cherish it."

Xu Yi couldn't help but smile: "That's so thankful." Seeing the happy smile on Steele's face, I couldn't help but sigh: "Steele, I'll take back what I said in the afternoon. Although your quiet and elegant side is also good, I still prefer to see you smiling happily. I don't know why, when I see you smiling, I feel much more at ease."

A hint of blush appeared on Steele's pretty face, she gave Xu Yi a blank look, and scolded her softly: "Follower..."

Just as Xu Yi and Steele were both inexplicable emotions, Yanis suddenly slapped.

"alright."

"Okay? So fast?" Steele put down his arms in shock, got up and came to Yanis's side, possessed himself and looked at the drawing board in Yanis's hand, and immediately couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful!"

Xu Yi suddenly laughed: "Hey, Steele, the one you are drawn on it, you don't need to be so narcissistic, right?"

Steele glared at Xu Yi, grabbed the drawing board from Yanis, turned over and looked at Xu Yi: "Do you think it's not beautiful?"

"Of course I think..." Xu Yi's eyes fell on the drawing board, and immediately fixed it firmly on the drawing board as if it was attracted by a magnet, and he was unwilling to move it away at all.

In this painting, Steele supported his left arm and elbow on the table, his palm supported his left face, and his right hand placed on the table. He stretched out his two fingers to slide on the table, looking lazy, as if he was thinking about something, but he seemed to be thinking about nothing.

Next to the table was a magic lamp emitting a faint green light, covering Steele's body with a faint green light, which added a mysterious atmosphere to Steele, making people involuntarily wonder why this girl showed such a puzzled look?

Compared to the picture of Master Amleysus in the afternoon, the picture is clearer in the lines and portrays the expression on Steele's face more vivid and eye-catching. Whether in terms of composition or artistic conception, it is much better than the picture of Master Amleysus.

What made Xu Yi even more satisfied was because the background selected was late at night, and the tone of the whole picture was determined by the green light emitted by the magic lamp, and no one could ignore the magic lamp that played a key role.

Moreover, because the appearance of this magic lamp was finally determined by Yanis and Vivian, Yanis knew the style and appearance of this magic lamp more clearly than anyone else, so she was more skillful in drawing, and could fully reflect the extremely exquisite and beautiful appearance of this magic lamp. As long as everyone's eyes move from Steele to this magic lamp, they will be immediately attracted by it.

Even after seeing this picture, Xu Yi himself couldn't help but feel the desire to buy a magic lamp, which shows how powerful this picture is.

After carefully admiring this picture dozens of times, Xu Yi gave Yanis a thumbs up to him: "It's so good! Yanis. You are such a natural painter!"

Yanis shook his head and said, "If Miss Steele hadn't been beautiful enough, this magic lamp would have been as beautiful as it was, and this picture would probably not have been so good."

Hearing Yanis praise her beauty, Steele suddenly felt that his behavior just now was really ridiculous.

Steele is a cheerful and open-minded girl. When she thought of this, she suddenly felt that Yanis didn't look so disliked, even her long pointed ears looked very interesting at this time.

"Yanis, you are too modest. I think this painting can be regarded as a work of art." Steele praised Yanis.

Yanis actually didn't understand what modesty means. She just expressed her true thoughts. However, she was still very happy after being praised by Xu Yi and Steele.

Of course, Xu Yi was happier than the two of them.

Now it has been proved that Yanis really has a higher artistic talent than Master Amleys, so in the future, there is no need to continue to tolerate Master Amleyss.

If Master Amleysos still ignores the requests made by his investor like in the afternoon, then Xu Yi can definitely end the cooperation relationship between the two parties without hesitation and let him get out.

But there is also a prerequisite, that is, how to keep Yanis.

If Yanis had just asked Xu Yi to treat her differently because of her elf identity, then now Xu Yi found that Yanis herself already has value that is enough to make him moved.

With amazing artistic talent, Yanis, in addition to being able to replace Master Amleyssus's work, can also cooperate with Vivian to design a beautiful and attractive appearance for the products of the New Air Chamber of Commerce.

Never underestimate the appearance design of products. On the planet with highly developed industrial technology, many products have already matured enough in technology, and the differences between them are often reflected in appearance.

An excellent appearance design is likely to make a product stand out and even create higher value for the product.

Sometimes, just relying on appearance, the prices of the same products will be far different.

Although the magic industry has just started on the Sainz Continent, Xu Yi will still not let go of such an excellent appearance designer who comes to his door.

However, the identity of Yanis, the elf, is a big obstacle.

Compared with the dwarfs, there is a greater gap between the elves and humans.

Sometimes some dwarves will come to human cities to live, but basically none of the elves will be there.

How to convince Yanis to agree to work at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a big problem.

"Yanis, after the problem of your tribe is solved, you will come to Bangta City to live. Are you willing?" Xu Yi asked tentatively.

Yanis looked at Xu Yi in surprise: "Why do you want to live in Bangta City? Of course I want to go back to the tribe."

"Sure enough..." Xu Yi muttered, and continued to ask unwillingly: "So under what circumstances will you be willing to live in Bangta City? Well, to be honest, I want to hire you to work for our New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. Are you willing?"

Steele looked at Xu Yi in shock: "Xu Yi, even if Yanis paints better than Master Anlisus, she is an elf..."

Yanis shook his head gently: "Thank you, President Xu, for your invitation, but I hope to live with my tribe."

Xu Yi was bored for a while and suddenly said, "What if I ask you to pay me as a reward after helping your tribe solve the problem?"

Steele and Vivian looked up together and looked at Xu Yi in shock.

Is he kidding?

However, Yanis nodded calmly in front of the three of them.

"If President Xu asks, I'm willing."
