Chapter 21: Magic
"Since the shopping guide can get such a high commission, then why don't we cut a little more? 140,000 will be lost all of a sudden!" Out of the jade shop, Jiang Qing said with a painful face.
In the days she has been on Earth, she has come to understand what money represents.
Ji Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think the price is so easy to say? This is the inner market! A shop survives here, not only needs to pay a high rent, but also hires the best staff." And this money, in the end, has to be paid by the customer. ”
I understand the reason, but Jiang Qing is still a little unwilling.
"Now that the tourmaline is available, when will you help me restore my human appearance?" Ji Chen was more concerned about this matter than about money.
Jiang Qing heard the eagerness in Ji Chen's tone, and couldn't help but say with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you extract the aura in the tourmaline and inject it into the magic wand, you can cast magic." ”
"How long will it take?" God knows how much Ji Chen wants to transform himself now and turn back into the handsome and golden President Ji Da.
"It takes three minutes to extract the aura of one tourmaline, thirty minutes for ten, and with the time it takes to cast the magic, it won't take more than an hour to fill it up. ”
"So what are you waiting for, let's hurry back and get ready. After speaking, Ji Chen was about to go back.
Who knew that he was dragged by the dog leash after he took a few steps, and when he looked back, he saw Jiang Qingqiao staring at him with a gloomy face.
Ji Chen didn't know why, but he still asked a little weakly, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Qing looked at him as if he was very innocent, and he was angry. Good for you, Ji Chen, tricked her into coming to the night market, saying that he was looking for the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone, but it turned out that he just wanted to achieve his own goals!
If you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, there is no door!
"Tell you, if you don't help me find some clues, I'll slaughter you! Dare to use the old lady as a coolie? I'm afraid you're tired of being crooked!" Jiang Qing warned viciously.
"Gollum ......" Ji Chen swallowed his saliva, not having the slightest doubt that Jiang Qing would do this. He rubbed Jiang Qing's trouser leg flatteringly, and said flatteringly: "I was just joking with you just now, don't take it seriously." ”
"I'm not kidding. Jiang Qing said expressionlessly.
Ji Chen's face stiffened, and this witch's temper came up, which was quite a headache.
One man and one dog continued to walk forward, but unfortunately, the shop where the alexandrite was auctioned last time was not open. Ji Chen turned his head to look at Jiang Qing and asked cautiously, "Where are we going now?"
Jiang Qing's face was so gloomy that she seemed to be able to wring out water, but she didn't expect to be busy today, which made her very unhappy.
A man and a dog were about to go home, when there was a sudden cheer in front of them. They heard the sound and went away to see a man performing a magic trick on stage.
The man was wearing a large black cloak with a low brim, and only half of his face could be seen.
His chin was pointed, and he had a vague smile on his lips, as if he was confident in his magic.
"Insect carving skills. Jiang Qing shook her head, this kind of inferior method, only these laymen will see it with relish, in her eyes, it is difficult to reach the hall of elegance at all.
Ji Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, Jiang Qing's words just now were really shocking, but who made the family a witch, she couldn't look down on the tricks on stage, it couldn't be more reasonable.
However, because of Jiang Qing's undisguised words, it brought them a lot of trouble. When the staff next to him heard Jiang Qing say so much, they were immediately unhappy.
"This young lady, our Lord Kim Sang-hyuk is the greatest magician in the world, please apologize to us for what you just said. The staff said in a serious tone.
Jiang Qing was speechless, and looked at the other party like a fool: "Do you know who you are talking to? Do you know how ridiculous what you just said? The greatest magician in the world? I really don't know where you got the courage." ”
"You!" the staff was furious.
The movement here attracted everyone's attention, including the magician on the stage, Kim Sang-hyuk.
Kim Sang-hyuk is a rather conceited person, and he is very unhappy to hear others say this about his magic skills. But he is good at forbearance, and he does not show this anger on his face.
He slowly walked off the stage, and when he arrived in front of Jiang Qing, he stopped, although his voice was not loud, others could hear it clearly: "Whether it is in Goryeo or around the world, I, Kim Sang-hyuk, think that I am still a little famous in the magic world, and I have dealt with many peers for so many years.
"Magician, what is that?" Jiang Qing looked confused.
Hearing this, Kim Sang-hyuk's face changed, and no matter how good the forbearance was, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he asked a little calmly: "This young lady, what you said just now, can I understand that you are provoking our magician?"
Ji Chen's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, Jiang Qing didn't know that the profession of magician was normal, after all, she was not an earthling. It's just that he knows that others don't know!
He was about to remind Jiang Qing, who knew that Jiang Qing didn't give him this opportunity at all.
Jiang Qing saw that the other party seemed to be very angry, not only did she not have any awareness of saying the wrong thing, but also added fuel to the fire: "Is the magician very powerful?"
Ji Chen: "......"
In this tense atmosphere of the audience, you can imagine how much Jiang Qing angered the other party.
"Since you look down on us magicians, do you dare to compare with me?" If Kim Sang-hyuk had thought twice before when he spoke, now he already wanted to teach this woman in front of him a good lesson!
Jiang Qing said indifferently, "How do you want to compare?"
"Magic show, will you?" Kim Sang-hyuk's mouth twitched with pride.
Jiang Qing raised her eyebrows and looked at the other party with a smile, "I hope you won't slap your mouth for these words later." ”
"You don't have to worry about this!" Kim Sang-hyuk flicked his sleeves and turned back to the stage.
Jiang Qing was about to go up, and Ji Chen asked with a worried face: "How sure are you in this competition?"
"I don't know. Jiang Qing shrugged.
"How much chance of winning is that?" Ji Chen was anxious.
"Maybe, maybe, probably ...... Zero bar. Jiang Qing said thoughtfully.
Ji Chen almost bit his tongue, and his heart was about to roar.
Your uncle, there is no chance of winning, is this the rhythm of going up and embarrassing?
Because Kim Sang-hyuk took this contest very seriously, all the people who specially sent people to invite Hongmen over. Ji Chen was a little uneasy, but Jiang Qing seemed calm.
In her opinion, please everyone is the same.
Time passed bit by bit, and soon, under the witness of Hong Xuansu, the person in charge of Hongmen, the competition between the two officially kicked off!
