"Don't get excited, just listen to what I'm saying. Jiang Qing saw Ji Chen sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail frantically, desperately trying to please him, and said unmoved: "Because magic power is required to cast magic, although I can't find the Philosopher's Stone at the moment, there is something on your earth that can be used as a substitute." ”

"What is it?" Ji Chen let out a dog bark excitedly.

"Tourmaline. Jiang Qing said lightly.

Ji Chen: "How much?"

Jiang Qing saw that Ji Chen couldn't wait, and suddenly stretched out three fingers towards him.

"Three?" Ji Chen said excitedly, "This is too easy to do. ”

"Three requirements. Jiang Qing corrected, "First, each tourmaline should be at least 12mm in diameter, second, it takes about ten of these tourmalines to trigger magic each time, and third, the magic is only effective for twelve hours. ”

"What?!" Ji Chen almost bit his tongue.

Ten tourmalines are only enough for him to be a man for half a day? Are you kidding! The market price of tourmalines with particles of more than 12mm is between 1W and 2W, and ten of them are at least 10W!

Although he has money, if he spends this way, I'm afraid he will declare bankruptcy before next year!

"It's up to you to decide whether you want to spend this money or not. Jiang Qing let Ji Chen make up his own mind.

Ji Chen was almost crying, although it hurt, but is there any other way?

Jiang Qing smiled at him and shook his head.

Ji Chen asked Jiang Qing to help him pay first, 100,000 yuan, Jiang Qing should have it. But Jiang Qing looked at him innocently, "Don't count on me, I don't even have five thousand money on me." ”

Is ...... really that poor?

Ji Chen thought seriously for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, as long as it's a newly signed artist in the company, I'll give a settling-in fee first, right?"

"Well, isn't this the place where I stayed?" Jiang Qing looked calm.

Ji Chen's eyes widened: "All spent?"

Jiang Qing thought for a while: "There should be three thousand five hundred and forty-three yuan left." ”

Ji Chen: "......"

It seems that the matter of money can only be planned separately.

Night.

Jiang Qing went back to the bedroom to sleep, leaving Ji Chen in the living room. Ji Chen curled up on the sofa, feeling resentful, wanting to take advantage of the dark night and high wind to sneak into Jiang Qing's room and do something unspeakable to her.

......

A bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating the entire pitch-black room. I saw a huge dog's head, with a fierce look in his eyes, slowly approaching the sleeping beauty on the bed.

Ji Chen jumped on the bed vigorously and saw that Jiang Qing was still asleep. He stared at the other party coldly, now that he has become like this, it is all Jiang Qing's fault! In order to avenge the revenge of one arrow, Ji Chen is ready to grin and bite. Suddenly, Jiang Qing turned over, and most of her weight was pressed on Ji Chen.

Jiang Qing slept soundly, one leg was half-bent, restricting Ji Chen's mobility, and one arm was placed on Ji Chen's neck, Ji Chen couldn't move, feeling that he was about to suffocate.

Could it be that his dog's life is about to be confessed here?" Ji Chen struggled desperately and let out a terrible dog bark.

Jiang Qing woke up in a daze, and saw a dog sleeping next to her, and when she was caught off guard, she screamed and kicked Ji Chen to the ground.

"Ji Chen, what do you want to do sneaking into my room?" Jiang Qing quickly got out of bed and rubbed Ji Chen's dog head angrily with both hands.

Ji Chen begged for mercy: "Beauty spare your life! It's just a joke, there's no need to take it so seriously, right?"

"Joke?" Jiang Qing stopped what she was doing and looked at Ji Chen suspiciously, "I'll give you another chance to explain, why did you enter my room?"

"I ......" Just as Ji Chen was speechless, at the critical moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he almost blurted out, "I'm here to discuss money with you." ”

"I said that you are really ......" Jiang Qing was a little speechless, "I said that I have no money, won't you go home and get it?"

"I can't get in!" Ji Chen wanted to cry without tears, "The door of my house needs to be unlocked with my face, I'm like a dog now, it's strange if I can get in." ”

"Then you're not going to look for your parents?" Jiang Qing asked.

Ji Chen: "......"

Not to mention that they are abroad now, even if they are at home, the way he looks now, I'm afraid his own mother can't recognize him.

"Then you say, what is your solution?" Jiang Qing still wanted to get a good night's sleep, so she could only interrupt the topic just now.

"Isn't the company going to hold a newcomer catwalk event in two days? You can go and participate, and the first place can get a bonus of 150,000 yuan. Ji Chen almost forgot about it.

Jiang Qing frowned, "Why should I go to participate in such a boring activity? Don't you know that my mission is to find the Philosopher's Stone?"

When Ji Chen heard her say such irresponsible words, he suddenly jumped off the wall, "I don't care, if you don't help me, don't blame me for being unkind to you!"

"Oh?" Jiang Qing smiled faintly and asked casually, "Do you think you have the ability now?"

Ji Chen: "......"

He must not be soft, otherwise Jiang Qing will definitely kick his nose in the face, but if Jiang Qing really eats the scales and is determined not to help, then what should he do?

Jiang Qing waited and waited for Ji Chen's next performance, in fact, she didn't want to embarrass the other party, but compared to finding the Philosopher's Stone, Ji Chen's request was so insignificant, after all, the Philosopher's Stone was too important to her, and as long as she found the Philosopher's Stone, she could completely help Ji Chen recover her human form.

Seeing Jiang Qing looking at him, Ji Chen met the other party's gaze and said, "As long as you help me recover my human form, I will help you find the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone, how about it?"

Jiang Qing didn't expect Ji Chen to say this, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find the Philosopher's Stone on her own, but with Ji Chen's help, it is different, Ji Chen has his network and a huge consortium as support, as long as what Ji Chen said is true, then help him with this favor, and he will not suffer.

Ji Chen gave Jiang Qing a night to think about it, and when he went out, he told Jiang Qing that they were now grasshoppers tied to a rope, if Jiang Qing was alone, Ma Yue might not be able to find the magic stone in the Year of the Monkey, and she couldn't use magic now, weighing all kinds of pros and cons, only two people working together was the wisest way out.

Jiang Qing stared at the figure who swaggered out of the bedroom with complicated eyes, I have to say that Ji Chen's analysis is very reasonable, but should she believe this human being?

Before she came to carry out the mission, the elders of the clan repeatedly told her that she must not trust humans easily, because people's hearts are sinister and must always be guarded against, and they cannot easily reveal their identities, let alone relax their vigilance.

But now that she has brought Ji Chen back to where she stayed, will this man attack her as soon as he returns to his human form?

Jiang Qing fell into hesitation for a while.
