Chapter 1676: The Thief Girl (The Readership Has Been Exploded)
For Fang Zheng, this was just a chance encounter on the road, so he didn't pay much attention to it. After breathing outside for a while, Fang Zheng returned to the Chamber of Commerce again, and saw Ram and Rem running over with a bunch of things.
"Got everything you want to buy?"
"Yes? Lord Founder, I think this is more suitable for Miss Huihui, and this is better for Miss Mayne........."
While talking, the two of them also pointed to things and the other party was introducing them, and Fang Zheng also nodded again and again as he listened. Although the sisters have not been in the castle for a long time, they know almost everyone in the castle......... So far, we're getting along pretty well.
"Okay, since you guys think it's okay, then that's it."
Saying this, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers and motioned for the clerk to come over.
"Please pack these into categories......... Well, how much? β
"That's, that'......... This guest. β
However, the clerk was a little hesitant in the face of Fang Zheng's inquiry, but it was only a moment before he smiled.
"Actually, actually......... You've hit the jackpot! β
As he spoke, the clerk raised his hand and applauded vigorously. And looking at the scene in front of him, Fangzheng, Ram and Rem looked at each other.
"The grand prize?"
"Yes, you're actually the 100,000th customer since the store opened, so everything you buy today is 50% off."
"Yo, interesting."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help laughing. It's the first time he's whispered to a discount in another world, but how can this technique be so old-fashioned and feel like a scam?
"So you're saying that all of these things are 50% off?"
Fang Zheng pointed to the things that Ram and Rem had in their hands, although they were only small items, but because they had to be given one to everyone in the castle, there were not a few of them. Moreover, many things were also quite valuable, and if Ram and Rem hadn't seen Fang Zheng extort a large sum of money from Lugonica just now, they wouldn't have dared to spend it so indiscriminately.
"Yes, yes........."
"Very good, then buy more, anyway, it's 50% off......... Ram, Rem, what else do you like and want to buy, you're welcome! β
"Yes, Lord Founder!"
Ignoring the pale face of the clerk next to them, Ram and Rem immediately ran to the counter with a smile and picked them up again. Originally, they also took a fancy to a lot of expensive gifts, but they chose relatively low-priced alternatives because they were worried that the price would be too high. But now that it is said that it will be discounted by 5%, what else is there to say?
Buy, buy, buy!
From this point of view, the ghost clan blood of the two sisters is genuine.
When Ram and Rem returned to the counter with the goods in their arms, the clerk next to them was almost pale and foaming, but he still forced himself to smile and settle the bill for everyoneβββ service industry is really not easy.
"Also, there's this, please take ........."
And just as Fang Zheng put everything back in his inventory and was about to leave with the two sisters, the clerk respectfully presented Fang Zheng with a badge.
"What is this?"
"This is proof of a VIP, and if you hold this badge, you will get a 50% discount on your purchases at any of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce."
"Huh? And this kind of good thing? β
Fang Zheng took the badge and glanced at the clerk meaningfully. Founder didn't particularly care about it before, after all, although it was said to be a 50% discount, it was a one-time deal after all. But now this badge is different, which means that Founder has an indefinite 50% discount......... This can be regarded as a loss-making transaction for a chamber of commerce.
"Okay, I'll take it."
Fang Zheng carefully looked at the badge in his hand to confirm that there was no strange magic or curse attached to it, so he accepted it happily. He doesn't care if the other party has any conspiracy, and he doesn't take advantage of it. The other party sent it to the door by himself, even if it is a sugar-coated cannonball, wouldn't it be good to eat the sugar-coated cannonball back?
Don't underestimate the cheekiness of the plan.
"Then let's go to dinner."
After shopping to his heart's content, Fang Zheng took Ram and Rem to dinner, and it was already noon, and the streets were full of people. The three of them strolled leisurely through the streets, looking at the scenery around them and discussing what to eat.
"How's that?"
"I think it tastes good, sister."
"Rem, try this ........."
"Lord Founder, please taste it."
"Hmm......... It tastes good, it's interesting, what's this? β
"Pigman's meat."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Well? What's that? β
Just as the three of them were walking and eating, suddenly, a petite figure rushed out of the crowd, and then hit Fang Zheng's body headfirst.
"Yikes."
"I'm sorry."
Looking at the person who bumped into him, Fang Zheng took a step back.
"Are you alright?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, the person in front of him raised his head, it was a girl who looked twelve or thirteen years old, with golden hair and bright red eyes, she rubbed her nose, and then waved her hand with a smile.
"I didn't have anything to do, I just bumped into it, sorry, little brother."
"Oh, that's good."
Hearing the blonde girl's answer, Fang Zheng nodded.
"Well, then, give me back the wallet you just took from my arms."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Ram and Rem were stunned, while the blonde girl's face changed slightly, and then she suddenly turned around and wanted to runβββ and was grabbed by Fang Zheng by the collar.
"Okay, I'm not going to pursue it too much, but it's not good to steal from other people."
"Let go of me, let go of me! Someone, help, someone is going to rob! β
According to the experience of the blonde girl, if she shouts so loudly, the people around her will definitely surround her, giving her a chance. However, what the blonde girl did not expect was that although she shouted loudly, the pedestrians who came and went around seemed to be completely unaware of her, as if she was a person who did not exist at all.
"Okay, just tie your hands and catch it, it's useless to play a little trick."
"Woo............"
Hearing this, the blonde girl seemed to give up struggling, and Fang Zheng also let go of his hand and put her on the ground. However, at the moment when Fang Zheng let go, a blue-green light suddenly flashed on the blonde girl's body, and then she tried to run away with a leap, however...............
"Huh? Ay? Ay?! β
Looking at her body as if it was fixed in the air, the girl's eyes widened in surprise, she desperately wanted to move her body, but this body was as if it was not her own, and she couldn't move at all.
At this time, Ram and Rem also surrounded the girl.
"I actually want to steal Lord Fangzheng's things, what a thief who doesn't know the height of the sky!"
Ram stared coldly at the blonde girl, and then she reached out, and the turquoise wind formed in her hand, turning into a sharp, swirling blade.
"Do you want to destroy her? Sister? β
Rem said as she took out a meteor hammerβββ wait, where are you hiding this thing?
"Wait, wait!"
Looking at the meteor hammer bigger than her head, the blonde girl's complexion finally changed, if this thing was knocked on, her head would bloom like a watermelon in an instant!
"I'll give it back to you, can't I give it back to you?!"
"Okay, don't scare her."
Seeing that the blonde girl finally succumbed, Fang Zheng also snapped his fingers, and soon, the forbidden time around the girl began to flow again, and the blonde girl also fell to the ground. This time, she finally didn't plan to run away, but moved her hands and feet, and after confirming that she was okay, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out the money bag from her arms and threw it to Fang Zheng.
"Give it back to you, so it'll be fine!"
"Well, obedient is still a good boy."
Fang Zheng took the money bag and put it back in his clothes.
"So, if you start looking for a target, you also have to look at people, and if you kick it on the iron plate, it won't end well."
"So what's next? Founder-sama? Are you going to take her to the guards? β
Ram stared coldly at the blonde girl, clearly not wanting to let her go. Hearing Ram's inquiry, the blonde girl's complexion suddenly changed.
"Hey, wait, you just said I'll give you back my wallet! I don't want to go to jail! β
If someone else had changed, the blonde girl would have turned around and ran away without saying a word, but after the fight just now, the blonde girl also understood that she was not the opponent of the man in front of her at all, if she turned around and wanted to run, maybe she would be fixed like just now, so she had no choice but to beg for mercy.
"Hmm......... It's really pitiful to be caught and imprisoned at this age, but after all, stealing is punishable, right. β
Speaking of this, Fang Zheng seemed to think of something and clapped his hands.
"You're a thief, so you should be familiar with this royal city."
"Of course!"
Hearing Fangzheng's inquiry, the blonde girl proudly straightened up her almost no breasts.
"I've been everywhere but the palace!"
"Okay, let's let you be our guide."
"............... guide?"
Hearing this, the blonde girl was stunned for a moment.
"What's that?"
"It's the profession of leading guests around the city, as you can see, we just came to this royal city, and we are not familiar with this place, since you are a local and a thief, then you should be very familiar with the situation of the city, just take us on a tour of the city, what is the reward......... How about a gold coin? β
"Woo..............."
At first, hearing Fang Zheng say this, the blonde girl wanted to refuse, but when she heard that Fang Zheng finally offered a reward, the blonde girl suddenly fell into thought.
"So, where do you want to go?"
"Famous places, beautiful places, or interesting places, of course, I don't want you to take us to hidden places or dangerous places, just to explore the city, and if you can recommend some shops with local flavors and other things."
"That's fine!"
Hearing this, the blonde girl suddenly smiled and patted her chest.
"Wrap it up with me, little brother, I'm pretty familiar with this city!"
In this way, a small storm ended, and the blonde girl also joined the ranks of Fang Zheng and his party. She introduced herself as Firut, a child from the slums here, and of course, a thief at the moment.
As a thief, Firut was of course very familiar with the city, and she took Fang Zheng and the others around the city, and chattered about what happened in those places, some of which were stories from the past, and some of which were recent rumors. For example, a nobleman was jealous somewhere on a certain street, and was beaten or something......... It is also a relish for the group to listen to.
And just like that, Fang Zheng took Ram and Rem for a pleasant day until the sun went down.
"Lord Fangzheng, it's time for us to go back."
Glancing at his pocket watch, Ram reminded, and Firut looked a little reluctant to hear her speak.
"Huh? Going back? There are many more places that I haven't covered yet. β
Although he was reluctant at first, Firut soon found that he seemed to enjoy this kind of life. After all, she didn't have many friends in the slums as a thief, and she just depended on her grandfather. On weekdays, she can't talk to others if she has something to say, but today, she said it happily......... Naturally, I don't want to stop there.
"Well, it's almost time, so let's stop here, and we'll talk about it next time we have time."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng took out a gold coin and put it in Firut's hand, while Filut looked at the gold coin in his hand with a complicated expression.
"Little brother......... I said is this really good? β
"Huh? Any questions? β
"Because, I just walked around with you and talked for a while, so you just gave me a gold coin? To be honest, I don't even think a single silver coin is too much. β
"The value varies from person to person, and of course, since I said before that it is a gold coin, then it is a gold coin."
Saying this, Fang Zheng reached out and patted Firut's head.
"I think you'd better stop being a thief, why don't you go as a tour guide? Today, I think you have this talent. β
"Is it really possible to make money just by walking around like this?"
Firut was still a little confused, and Fang Zheng nodded.
"Of course, maybe for you, it's no different from your own back garden. But it's different for those of us who are outsiders, you see, in such a big city, if there is no one to lead the way, first-time visitors will definitely get lost. β
"That's true, but if you don't know the way, you can ask the guards."
"The guards will only give you directions, and won't lead you away, don't you, wouldn't it be miserable if you make a mistake or remember it wrong?"
"That's what I said..............."
Firut nodded, in fact, she often succeeds in the basics of outsiders, because outsiders are stupid and don't know the way, so they don't know where to chase when they are stolen by Firut. In the past, Firut just thought that these people were stupid and stupid, but now he didn't expect that there were still business opportunities here.
"Of course, credibility is also important, especially if a guest like you knows that you are a thief, and is somewhat worried about whether you will take him to the ditch. So it may be a bit difficult to gain the trust of customers at first, but if you can stick to it, you should be able to have a stable income, and in any case, it is better than a thief. β
"Uh......... Well......... You have a point........."
Firut actually didn't want to be a thief, this kind of profession is not good, being chased, beaten, and caught. It's just that a child like her from a slum can't find a suitable job. But the proposal right now made her eyes shine, it doesn't take much effort to walk around the city with people, and it is very simple for Firut, and it can make money. What's more, it won't be as troublesome as being a thief, if you can make a lot of money.........
"Okay, I'll try!"
Thinking of this, Firut clenched the gold coin in his hand and nodded vigorously at Fang Zheng.
"Thanks, little brother."
"Well, but my advice is that if you're going to be a tour guide, you'd better change into clean clothes and tidy yourself up."
"Huh? Why! β
"Because you don't look like a serious businessman right now."
Fang Zheng pointed to Firut's extremely revealing dress.
"You are like this, but no honest person dares to agree, in short, you must let the other party have a sense of peace of mind to communicate and communicate."
"Well, okay."
Firut frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded, then turned to leave, and at the same time turned around and waved at Fang Zheng and the others.
"Then I'll see you next time, little brother!"
Looking at Firut's vanishing back, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, and then looked at Ram and Rem beside him.
"Alright, let's go back too."
