Chapter 34: The Grace of Saving Lives
Shinnosuke took 450,000 taels and went to Konoha to pick up a luxury store not far from the Yamanaka flower shop.
On the way, he saw a large number of ninja troops leaving from Konoha Village.
The center of the street was completely occupied, and he stopped at the edge of the street to watch.
Looking at the departing ninja troops, the civilians near the street were talking.
"These are all ninjas who came back from the Southwestern Frontier yesterday, right?" A middle-aged man asked.
It was a middle-aged woman who answered, "Yes, I heard that there are a total of 8,000 ninjas who were sent to the Northwest Frontier by Hokage-sama today. β
Another young man interjected, "The Thunder Country in the northwest has ill intentions, and yesterday he also sent the Eight-Tails Zhu Li and a group of Yunyin Village ninjas to invade the border of our Fire Country, but fortunately, they were forced to retreat by the elite Shangninbo Feng Shui Gate. β
"The ninjas of Yunyin Village are all villains, and they have to guard against the northwest border!"
Shinnosuke listens intently about the Border Ninja Force, while the residents around the street get farther and farther away.
He no longer pays attention to people's chatter, but waits and adds points to himself.
Now his personal individual attributes have reached 20,000, and the sum of the eight attributes in the formula book is 160,000.
Just as I was about to add points, the consciousness panel again showed a prompt:
"The current physical load is too high, and it is recommended to consume 100,000 plus points to increase the physical load."
Seeing this information, Shinnosuke paused.
The so-called "overload of the body" can be understood literally.
The prompt of the awareness panel is "Recommended", that is, you can choose to consume 100,000 plus points to increase the physical load, or you can choose not to consume.
If you choose to consume, then there is no doubt that 100,000 plus points is not a small number.
Conversely, if he chooses not to consume, Shinnosuke will have to take the risk of dying by self-destruction.
It's better to die than to live, especially like Shinnosuke, if you really blow yourself up and die of the physical load, it will be a big loss.
Be steady, or consume!
With a decision in mind, Shinnosuke consumed 100,000 reserve points to increase his load limit.
After the physical load was raised, it didn't take long for the ninja troops to leave Konoha Village completely.
As a result, the streets of Konoha began to widen.
Shinnosuke continued on his way, hurrying towards the front of the luxury jewelry store.
When he arrived at his destination, he was stunned to find that the faΓ§ade of the luxury jewelry store, which was resplendent yesterday, was empty today.
Shinnosuke was momentarily stunned.
Why is it that the old store that has been open for more than ten years is gone?
He looked left and right, and asked a young man next to the jewelry store.
As soon as I inquired, I found out that the two tails attacked Konoha yesterday, and the roof of the jewelry store was damaged by the tailed beast jade.
The bearded boss had moved all the jewelry in the store overnight.
Shinnosuke asked the young man about the bearded boss's current address, and after several twists and turns, he finally found the bearded boss in the villa bungalow area northwest of Konoha Village.
When the bearded boss saw Shinnosuke, he looked very happy, "It turned out to be you!" I was about to look for you, but you found me first! "His enthusiasm for Shinnosuke is surprising.
Shinnosuke was a little puzzled, "What are you looking for me?" He asked, puzzled.
"Thank you, of course!" The bearded boss led Shinnosuke to sit down in the living room of his villa, and then ordered the servant to pour the tea, "I came back last night and found out that it was the tailed beast jade ...... who broke the roof of my jewelry store."
"I've heard from the ninjas, that tailed beast jade is not an ordinary ninjutsu, if it wasn't for you yesterday, I'm afraid I would have been blown up at that time." He said gratefully.
Shinnosuke recalls what happened last night, "It's okay! In that case, you must know what I'm here for, right? β
"It's been ready for a long time!" In front of Shinnosuke, the bearded boss took out the precious necklace, which was the secret key.
Shinnosuke saw the necklace, and he was inexplicably a little excited in his heart: This bearded boss, shouldn't he give me this secret key in order to repay the grace of saving his life?
He thought beautifully.
The bearded boss saw that Shinnosuke was silent for a long time, so he began to introduce: "In addition to the delicate workmanship and expensive materials, this necklace is even more rare because it was once the inheritance of famous families!" β
"The secret key originated from the country of the vortex, and later the country of the vortex was destroyed, and there is no necklace similar to it in this world, which can be said to be a peerless one."
The bearded boss gushed, "You were going to buy it last night, don't say you couldn't take out 500,000 taels, just say that you could take out 500,000 taels at that time, and I wouldn't necessarily sell it to you." β
Shinnosuke's eyes rolled, "Now, then?" He winked at the bearded boss.
The bearded boss laughed, "I'm a person who knows how to repay your kindness!" You saved my life last night, so let's do it, as long as you can come up with 500,000 taels now, I will sell you this necklace immediately! He said, pointing to the Key of the Secret.
Shinnosuke smiled wryly.
I thought you gave it to me.
He felt a little big, because he only had 450,000 taels in his pocket now, and he wasn't sure if he could buy the necklace for that price.
Shinnosuke hesitated for a long time, and seeing that the tea was almost cold, he hesitated and said, "That...... As you said earlier, I saved your life last night, and you should know that...... There is nothing in this world that is worth more than life......"
"If you have anything to say, just say it!" The bearded boss looked very bold.
"Hey, hey!" Shinnosuke smiled embarrassedly, "Look...... Can you get a discount? Or let me make a counteroffer? β
He scratched his cheek with his index finger, feeling a little nervous.
As soon as he finished speaking, the bearded boss's face immediately changed.
At that moment, Shinnosuke felt as if his heart was about to rise to his throat, and he was afraid that he would be chased away by someone else this time.
There was a sense of embarrassment in the air.
Shinnosuke's brain was racing, and he began to think of other words to try to save the situation.
Unexpectedly, the bearded boss suddenly spoke, "Yes!" He was succinct and to the point.
"What?" Shinnosuke felt a little incredulous.
This bearded man is relieved!
He felt a little unreal.
Until the bearded boss spoke again, "You bargain!" It's as if I repay you for saving your life. β
Shinnosuke was happy in his heart, but he was silent on the surface.
At the same time, his brain began to draw up a counter-offer routine.
Generally speaking, the counteroffer is first shouted by the buyer at a low price, and then the seller raises the price, and so on, the two sides continue to see-saw, and finally set a suitable intermediate price.
The maximum price that Shinnosuke can accept at the moment is 450,000 taels, because he only has this money in his pocket.
So he began to consider:
Do you want to start shouting from 200,000 taels first?
"No way!" Shinnosuke immediately vetoed in his heart, "The starting price of 200,000 units is still a bit high." β
That 100,000 taels?
Thinking of this price, he himself felt embarrassed to speak.
After hesitating for a long time, Shinnosuke weakly stretched out a finger to the bearded boss.
Seeing this, the bearded boss suddenly twisted his brows into twists, "10,000 taels?!" There was anger in his tone.
Shinnosuke was stunned, and after a while, he realized that it was the bearded boss who had misunderstood what he meant.
He was about to explain, but he was interrupted again by the bearded boss's words.
"Forget it! The first order to open the door today, it should be regarded as an auspicious picture, 10,000 taels will be 10,000 taels! β
With that, the bearded boss threw the secret key in front of Shinnosuke.
Shinnosuke didn't dare to take the necklace.
it!
10,000 taels are also sold?
What about the unique products that are good?
He suddenly felt a little depressed: Ma Dan, am I buying too expensive......
