Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Story
"Hahaha! Are you stupid? Even the most inexperienced can tell that those earrings are worthless. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Nick laughed so hard that his jaw dropped when he heard Honor's choice.
Not only Nick, but also the merchants and nobles on the side shook their heads again and again, expressing their disappointment at Honor's choice.
[As the other party said, it is recommended to make a new choice.] 】
Divine Awareness also gave such advice.
Indeed, as Nick said, the pair of agate earrings were valued at only three hundred and seventy silver coins by Lord Divine Knowledge, which could not be more ordinary in this exchange shop.
No, maybe it's a lot worse than most products.
But Honore shook his head at Nick and said with a firm gaze: "I chose this pair of earrings, how about it, old man, announce the results, who won in the end?"
Seeing that Honore was so confident, Nick also seemed a little suspicious, and everyone turned their eyes to the old man, only to touch his beard and laugh.
"Hahahaha! Not bad, not bad! This contest was won by this young master. ”
"What......"
Nick was stunned when he heard the result, he looked at the old man unconvinced, and asked him: "How is this possible, no matter how you look at that pair of earrings, they are mortal, and any product is better than his, why did he win." ”
"Haha, that's what the old man wants to ask. The old man smiled, looked at Honore with the same doubts, and asked, "Little master, what is the reason for your choice?" ”
"Well, thanks to this Young Master Nick. Honore pretended to laugh mysteriously, if it weren't for his previous argument, I wouldn't have been able to discover the mystery in this.
Hearing Honor's words, everyone was very curious, and the nobles on the side were also busy: "Children...... No, this little master, don't whet our appetite, just say it. ”
"Since everyone wants to know so much, it doesn't hurt for me to say it. So saying, Honoror spoke to the people.
"There is a text trap in this boss's exam question, do you remember his question? He said that among all the treasures, one treasure seemed to him to be the most precious. ”
That's right, everyone focused on preciousness, thinking that they were looking for the most valuable treasures, but they forgot about the subjective factor in his opinion. ”
"Whether an object is precious to someone is not necessarily its value, but more likely that it is related to what has happened to him and what he has experienced. ”
Hearing Honor's words, everyone suddenly realized that the owner of this shop was not looking for the most expensive, but the most precious for the boss.
"And how did you know that these earrings are the most precious to me?" the old man was full of praise for Honor's analysis, but he was still puzzled.
"Well, it's going to be analyzed psychologically. ”
"Psychology?" everyone was stunned when they heard this new term.
"Ahem, to put it simply, you have to think about it from the idea of the person who wrote the question. Honoror hurriedly sloppily looked at the word earth and accidentally came up with the word earth.
"It's true that the goods here are very valuable, but according to my observations, the contents of this booth deserve to be among the most precious. ”
Honore walked back to the booth and pointed to the goods inside.
"This pot of greed is worth at least nine thousand gold coins. ”
"This Twister sculpture is worth about five thousand gold coins in my opinion. ”
"Then there's this burning magic stone, which should be worth more than six thousand five hundred gold coins. ”
"These pair of agate earrings, as Master Nick said, are a maximum of three hundred and seventy silver coins. ”
"And this halberd of killing kings, if it is really to be measured in gold coins, it will cost at least eighteen thousand gold coins. ”
"How, how...... How can you know these treasures so well at such a young age?!" Hearing Honor's straightforward name of the treasure, as well as the valuation that only an expert knows, the merchants present let out a cry of surprise.
"Well, you don't have to worry about that. Honore smiled and went on to explain, "There is no doubt that this booth is where the treasures of the town store are kept, so it's strange that there are valuable treasures all around, why would these earrings be put together with these things?"
"If it's an ordinary earring, then it should be placed on the jewelry booth on the right to make it easier for customers to choose, right?"
"This ......" Hearing Honor's words, everyone finally discovered the strangeness in it.
"That's right, the boss put these earrings here, and there is no intention of selling them at all, and the value of them must be self-evident. ”
"Bang Bang!"
"Wonderful, really wonderful, it's the old man who lost. ”
The sound of applause rang out from the door, and the old man applauded the analysis of Honor, as he said, this was not only a contest between Nick and Honor, but also a contest between the old man and Honor.
And this time, it was Honor's victory.
"These earrings were a gift from my wife before I made a fortune, and then I failed in business, and my wife sold them to help the family, and decades later my wife died, and by chance I found these earrings, so these earrings are more precious to me than anything else, after all, they carry my unique memories. ”
The old man touched his beard and sighed, and when he said that he was emotional, there seemed to be tears flashing in the corners of his eyes.
"Hmph! You're just lucky this time!"
Nick on the side snorted coldly, and after hearing the old man's story, he had to admit that this was a victory for Honor, after all, it would be too aristocratic to play Rippy at such a time.
Anyway, there are two more competitions in the future, as long as two consecutive wins are enough.
"Old man, I lost the first game, so let's start the second game quickly. ”
The defeat seemed to have aroused Nick's competitive spirit, and the shopkeeper's mood gradually calmed down.
He thought about it for a while, and smiled at the two of them: "This second scene is also going on in the store." ”
He beckoned to the male attendant beside him, and then whispered something in the waiter's ear, and the attendant echoed and ran to the back room behind the counter.
There was a display table behind the counter that seemed to be movable, and when it was removed, a door could be revealed, which was probably where they stored their goods.
This second question is not only a test of your vision, but also a test of your financial resources. ”
"Finance?" asked Onu.
"That's right, this is a product that a friend has deposited with me, and I am currently looking for a buyer, and I hope that one of them will be able to exchange something of sufficient value. ”
As the old man spoke, the attendant had already turned back, only this time, the attendant had an extra box in his hand.
The attendant slowly opened the box, revealing a shining gemstone ring.
