Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Battle Begins
After letting Nina and Erec lead a group of mercenaries out, the store became deserted, but at this time, Xiao Lin came out rubbing her sleepy eyes, and she could never leave the mobile phone in her hand.
Zheng Jingchao and Xiao Lin beckoned: "Come here, little girl, for the sake of me shouldering the important task of maintaining peace on the earth and revitalizing the free faction, help me look at the store." ”
"Don't!" Ignoring the reason that sounded extremely great, Xiao Lin shook her head without saying a word, squatted behind the counter and lowered her head to continue playing with her phone.
"Hey, don't do this, okay, I haven't eaten lunch yet." Zheng Jing is completely helpless, it is inevitable that there will be people picking quarrels and provoking trouble when opening a store to do business, and the situation in this world is different from the earth, one of the passers-by walking on the street may be a martial arts master or magician who can masturbate Gundam with bare hands, if Xiao Meng's battle 5 scum is allowed to watch the store, Zheng Jing is very worried that he will not be able to see him for the last time when he comes back from eating.
Xiao Lin was still unmoved, her attention was still all focused on the phone, Zheng Jing had no choice but to use the strategy of knocking on the side.
"We've been in this world for a few days, haven't we? Don't you want to take a serious look at the world? Didn't you often complain in the past that the earth's environment was not good, and there wasn't enough aura for you to cultivate? Wouldn't it be nice to see here? Don't you like it? ”
Xiao Lin finally raised her head when she heard this, but the answer still made Zheng Jing feel deeply powerless: "What's the matter, I can't go online, I want to see the update of the Jiyong Department!" I want to see Rinhara! Let me go back! ”
Zheng Jing expressed helplessness, it seems that this otaku girl can already announce that she has given up treatment, so that his efforts in the Xiaoyao faction are not in vain? The most important thing is that without this helper, how to make up for the lack of combat effectiveness? Why don't you trick Nina back to Earth so that she can't shoot guns and practice flying swords instead?
When Zheng Jing was struggling, a person in front of him came to the counter and knocked on the table, drawing Zheng Jing's attention back.
Coming to the front of the store was a man dressed in gorgeous clothes, but the temperament between his eyebrows was like someone's servant, and he was playing with a makeup mirror that Zheng Jing casually placed on the counter.
Zheng Jing immediately put on a friendly smile and greeted, "Hello, do you need anything?" ”
"Hello." This person also responded to Zheng Jing politely, and said slowly: "I am the purchaser of the palace living goods department, may I ask, do you have more things like this here?" ”
"Of course." Zheng Jing nodded, lowered his body and pretended to take the goods from under the counter, and secretly took out a stack of mirrors from the Qiankun bag, which were all taken on the shelves when buying goods in the supermarket, some big and some small, some square and some round, all kinds of things.
These mirrors, which are exquisitely shaped and reflect very well in the picture, obviously liked the palace purchaser, and he took out his money bag with satisfaction and asked, "I have bought all of these, how much is the total?" ”
Zheng Jing shook his head with a smile: "I don't want money, I just want to ask you a question, how about you tell me that these mirrors are given to you for nothing?" ”
The buyer was stunned: "Yes, but what do you want to ask?" I'm just a peripheral member of the palace, and I can't tell you what you want to ask me about the royal family. ”
"I'm just curious, like you've seen the exact same thing elsewhere before you came to me?" Zheng Jing saw the problem from the buyer's expression at a glance,
The Dragon God Continent also has glass mirrors, but limited by the process, the glass transparency is poor, and the effect is miserable, and these mirrors produced with the modern technology of the earth are completely incomparable, it stands to reason that a person in the Dragon God Continent has no reason not to be surprised when they see such a mirror, you must know that just a rotating electric fan can surprise the people here for a long time!
The buyer nodded: "That's right, there are some mirrors in the palace of similar quality as yours here." ”
"Can you tell me where those things come from?"
"Oh, every year when the royal family sacrifices to pay tribute to Lord Ryujin, as a token of gratitude, Lord Ryujin will ask the messenger to give us some strange knick-knacks, which are quite popular among the princes' children."
"What is your tribute?"
"It's mainly jewelry, but also the magic core of high-level magical beasts." The purchaser answered all of Zheng Jing's questions without much hesitation, and it seems that these are not some unknown secrets.
"Very well, you can take these mirrors." Seeing off the palace buyers, Zheng Jing sat back behind the counter and pondered.
According to the information we have now, the truth about the merchants of this world plane has gradually become clear, and the next step is to make a plan and prepare to enter the main drama.
An hour later, Nina and the others who went out to buy magic cores came back, and the bag used to hold gold coins when they went out was now full of magic cores, and there were still gold coins left, which showed that the magic cores that could be bought in the entire royal city were almost purchased by them.
Instead of directly letting the terminal absorb the energy in these demon cores, Zheng Jing did not put them in the Qiankun bag, but placed them in the store openly. As for the rest of the gold coins, Zheng Jing gave them to the mercenary group very happily.
However, this time, Nina, a small wealth fan, did not appear too happy, including Erec and all the people in the mercenary group, all looked worried.
"What's wrong? What's the matter? ”
Nina cautiously glanced at all corners of the shop, then leaned into Zheng Jing's ear and whispered, "When we came back, we were followed, and Ah Lei stunned one, who was from the Dragon Temple. ”
"Dragon Temple? What's that? ”
As soon as Zheng Jing's words came out, everyone looked at Zheng Jing with incredible eyes, and Nina couldn't help but glance at him and said, "You don't know the Dragon God Temple?" ”
Zheng Jing shook his head decisively.
"I'm really convinced of you, the Dragon God Temple is an organization composed of believers who believe in Lord Dragon God, as the spokesperson of Lord Dragon God in the world, they are very powerful, if they want to trouble us, even if they flee to the ends of the earth, they can't hide."
"Oh." Zheng Jing didn't show any emotion, but asked, "Then are you afraid?" ”
Nina belongs to the Lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and when she heard this, she laughed directly: "Haha, what are you talking about?" How can we be afraid? It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he dares to provoke me, let his head bloom! ”
"Nina!" Erec frowned and reprimanded, the Dragon God Temple's power in the Dragon God Continent is greater than that of the royal family, Nina, a little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky, is not afraid, it doesn't mean that they don't have any concerns.
It seems that he is destined to be a person all the way, Zheng Jing sighed secretly, and ordered Erec and the others to go to rest first, and he secretly took Nina's hand and walked to the side.
"Hey, what's not to say in front of everyone?" Noticing that there were only two people around, she and Zheng Jing were around, and Nina complained a little uncomfortably.
Zheng Jing looked serious and asked, "Nina, what do you think of me to you?" ”
Nina smiled and shook her head, her golden hair looked good in front of Zheng Jing's eyes: "It's useless to talk about us people, we are mercenaries, and money can buy everything for us, including life." ”
"What about faith?" Zheng Jing suddenly threw out such a sentence in a cold tone, which instantly stunned Nina.
After being sluggish for a long time, she finally reacted and opened her mouth wide in surprise: "You are crazy!" You really want to go against the people of the Dragon Temple? ”
Zheng Jing pursed his lips: "You don't really believe in that dragon god, do you?" ”
The so-called bystander Qing, in the eyes of Zheng Jing, an outsider, what dragon god and what dragon temple are just tricks made by the plane merchants here by pretending to be gods and ghosts through some gadgets from other worlds, but he admires the colleague who has not yet met.
No matter how bold Zheng Jing is, he will at most think of using his identity as a plane merchant to be the richest man in the world on the earth, the king of a small country or something, and then borrow his ten guts, that is, to establish a country and become an emperor by himself, and conquer the whole world. This peer is good, he actually wants to be the god of this world? Be creative and courageous.
It was easier to woo Nina than she thought, and with a blink, Nina asked, "If I help you, can I use those weapons of yours?" ”
"Of course, if you help me, I'll definitely give you my best weapon here."
"Then it's decided, I like to do this kind of challenging thing the most!"
After discussing with Nina, Zheng Jing went to prepare other aspects, and Nina returned to the counter of the store, only to find that Xiao Lin, who was sitting in the corner, was not playing with her mobile phone, but stood up and looked at her.
Nina didn't care and walked directly to the counter, but when she passed by Xiao Lin's side, she heard her say coldly:
"Do you think that's going to make him like you? Don't waste any time, you can tell from the look in his eyes that he's always thinking about someone, and I can tell you that person isn't here. ”
Nina stopped, turned around and said to Xiao Lin with a smile, "So what does it matter? I can be there for him on the journey and help him with a lot of fun challenges, and the feeling in the process trumps anything for me. ”
"You're not afraid that he'll take you to your death?"
"No, since it is something he took the initiative to do, then he must be sure, I believe him."
Xiao Lin laughed out loud: "Believe in a merchant? ”
"What about the Annihilators? He has his own goals, and he will continue to work hard to achieve his goals, and such a person is worthy of my trust and follow. Each of us should have our own goals, don't you have your own goals? ”
Target? Xiao Lin had a look of confusion in her eyes, and then lowered her head.
As a cultivation genius and master's favorite disciple, all kinds of genius treasures have been thrown at her, in fact, when Xiao Lin was six or seven years old, she already had the same strength as now, and because of this, in fact, many years ago, she had followed her master to participate in battles with other plane merchants, sometimes to protect herself from the attacks of other plane merchants on the earth, and sometimes to fight with people in other worlds for profit, and there was never a word in these battles, that is, killing!
At that time, she had already learned that the world was not as beautiful as she thought, and the master was not as sacred as it seemed on the surface, but she had been stubbornly unwilling to admit it. So for so many years, when it comes to goals, Xiao Lin's goal is only to escape, to escape cultivation, to escape from battle, but in the end, by mistake, she still had to join Zheng Jing and become his thug.
Do you continue to run away, or do you change your goal and try to change something? Xiao Lin fell into thought.
Nina smiled and didn't take it to heart, and continued to return to the counter to greet the guests, happily collecting the gold coins.
On the other side, Zheng Jing was seizing the time to discuss with Xiao Meng about preparing for the war.
"Have you really decided to go to war with the plane merchants of this world here? It's someone's doorstep. Xiao Meng asked worriedly, and did not forget to add: "Plane merchants are protected by the law, and I can't predict the outcome of your battles with other plane merchants. ”
Zheng Jing was very sure: "It's okay, you just need to help me figure out when the other party will do it, and I'll take care of the rest." ”
Xiao Meng could only carry out Zheng Jing's order, closed his eyes and speculated for a while, and then said the result: "When it falls tonight, the enemy will attack, leaving you not much time to prepare." ”
"That's enough."
Zheng Jing didn't talk nonsense to Xiao Mengduo, and went directly to Erec again, instructing him to lead everyone in the mercenary group except Nina to a location outside the city to standby.
With only a team of twenty mercenary groups, Zheng Jing asked them to bring two Vulcan cannons, ten rocket launchers, and several mortar RPGs. Since they have been excluded from the core personnel of this operation, Zheng Jing did not tell them any details of the operation, all they have to do is wait for Zheng Jing's signal, and then pour the firepower brainlessly into the target area, what kind of enemy they are attacking, and whether it is successful or not has nothing to do with them.
The team of mercenaries pulling two large wagons of ammunition set off under the leadership of Xiao Meng, and Xiao Meng's perception ability would help them avoid the sight of all enemies and leave the royal city unconsciously.
There were only three people left in the store, Zheng Jing, Nina and Xiao Lin, pretending that nothing happened, and Zheng Jing continued to take Nina to fool the customers who came to the door and earn a lot of gold coins.
The business in the afternoon was even hotter than in the morning, and the batch of electric fans sold yesterday actually didn't make him too much gold coins in the end, but it attracted a lot of popularity, Zheng Jing had to desperately raise the price of the goods in the store, so as not to let the few goods he brought this time sell out in an instant.
Of course, Zheng Jing has long said that he is not here to make money, he doesn't care how much money he can make here, what he cares about is the current popularity that he has created single-handedly!
Think about it from another perspective, if one day another plane businessman comes to the earth and sells all kinds of science fiction and magic props in front of Zheng Jing's house in front of his house, attracting people's attention and robbing Zheng Jing of all his deals, so that he can't make a penny! Then Zheng Jing will definitely kill that lawless guy at all costs, this is even more serious than killing his own father!
What he has to do is to turn other people's home advantage into his own, and he must first make his opponent unable to calm down, so that he can seize the initiative.
Xiao Meng's prophecy was soon confirmed, and when it was almost dusk, the city gate officer who had received Zheng Jing's gift sent someone to hand Zheng Jing a note, reminding him that a force was in contact with the city defense army, trying to get the city defense army to assist them in their disadvantage of Zheng Jing's shop.
Shortly after the news arrived, Nina, an experienced hunter, told Zheng Jing that there were many watchers outside the store and had surrounded the store in all directions.
Looking at the sun sinking outside, when the sky is completely dark, a fierce battle will begin! Unfortunately, there is no patience but not so much.
Zheng Jing has never been a person who can play by the rules......
"I'm not going to wait until you're all ready to fight you fairly." Zheng Jing muttered to himself and moved out the magic core that Nina bought for him in the morning, how much energy can be exchanged for such a large pile of demon cores if they are all absorbed? I can't help but drool just thinking about it.
Of course, Zheng Jing was not polite, and directly issued an order to the terminal: "Execute the energy conversion program and transform all these demon cores into ......"
"Stop!" Before Zheng Jing's words were finished, a large number of people suddenly rushed out of the store to disperse the customers gathered around Zheng Jing's store in an instant, and a person wearing a robe and a dragon-shaped mask in the lead hurriedly shouted.
As soon as the two words stopped, Zheng Jing showed a triumphant smile on his face, followed by a "boom"! A steel beast rushed out of the shop, crushing into the crowd gathered in front of the shop with lightning speed! The strange man in the dragon head mask only had time to say the word "stop" before he was crushed under the wheels.
