Chapter 858: United? Incorporated?
Jin Siqi on the other side of the microphone was silent after listening to my words.
The elven adventurers who were waiting around the call crystal were also silent.
I couldn't see Jin Siqi's expressions, but I could see the expressions of the elven adventurers clearlyβthey were looking at me with puzzled expressions.
And in the midst of doubt, there is also sympathy, like the expressions of a group of theists when they watch atheists express their opinions.
At this moment, I was at a loss.
Is there something wrong with what I just said?
Or is it the tone of my voice? My voice?
No, I'm talking about the authentic lingua franca of the Zephyr Continent!
Could it be that I have a problem with my dress today?
I touched my hair, I touched my cheeks, and finally, next to the workbench at the adventurer's base, I found a reflective piece of metal, and after a few photos, I didn't find anything wrong.
At this time, I suddenly reacted, if it was my appearance, Jin Siqi on the other end of the microphone would not know!
This is a call crystal, and it's not a live video, so it's not good to be imaging!
Since the intonation and voice are fine, and the appearance is not bad, it is a problem with my speech, but I have carefully searched for it several times, but I have not found anything wrong with my words.
So, I decided to ask Kim what was going on.
"Well, cough" I cleared my throat first to relieve the embarrassment: "What, Jin Siqi, what do you say, don't always be silent, silence, it's unhealthy, right?" β
About half a minute later, Jin Siqi suddenly asked me, "An Xiaoyi, haven't you studied in the academy?" β
βοΌβ I first asked a question mark, and then said, "No, what's wrong?" β
"......No wonder," Jin Siqi said, "If you have been in the academy, you will know that rookie adventurers, after graduating and being assigned to the Adventurers' Guild, need someone to take them for a period of time, and this is a contract." β
"Huh? And what's going on? "I was stunned: this is clearly internship training!
"You haven't been to the Adventurer Academy, so it's normal to not know," Jin Siqi said, "But now that you're the actual ruler of the Heroic Guild, you need to know this information." β
After listening to Jin Siqi's words, I said: "Well, what you said is very reasonable, I agree, and I only found out today that you can still speak well." β
"Humph!" Jin Siqi said disdainfully: "I have always been able to speak well." β
"Okay, okay, I see" I didn't plan to entangle her more, and changed the subject: "In this way, the Valorant Guild has already hooked up with the academy, is that what you mean?" β
"That's what it means," she said, "and it's for this reason that all the money you gave has been spent." β
Jin Siqi's tone was very tough, like a debt collection.
Listening to her tone, I felt that my worldview had collapsed a little.
Generally speaking, when you ask someone to do something and ask for money in case of trouble, shouldn't you be polite?
How can this girl put on an uncle's temper, as if I owe her money, meow a mi, habitual, pure habitual stinky temper!
I began to think in my heart that I wanted to correct this girl's stinky temper when she spoke.
......
......
I thought that if she refused to give her money, her uncle-like temper would be curtailed, and she would speak in the same calm tone as she had been with Rodney or Harold.
But I was wrong.
Instead of lowering her tone, she raised her voice three times.
It was surprisingly loud, like a roar, and through the call crystal, even the staff on my side could hear it clearly.
"An Xiaoyi! You've gone too far! The guild has no money, so you want to be the shopkeeper, don't you? Is there still a sense of responsibility? Do you know what to think about for our future? β
To be honest, after hearing her words, I really wanted to hang up the call crystal directly.
But I can't do thatβif I hang up, the staff won't be gossiping about me in private!
If this reaches the ears of my fiancΓ©es, with their violent tempers, the family law is light, hehe.
I helplessly smiled at the staff with embarrassed smiles on their faces, and said, "No way, my friend is dying and has to take over." β
After that, I asked Kim, "You ask Rodney, how many gold coins do you need?" β
As soon as I said this, Jin Siqi instantly fell silent, and after a few seconds, she said, "Ten million gold coins." β
"One, ten million gold coins?" I collapsed: "Why don't you go and grab the adventurer's base?" β
After saying this, I saw several staff members in front of me excited, and looked at me with strange eyes.
I smiled awkwardly at them.
"That'...... Nine million gold coins will do," Jin Siqi's tone hesitated slightly.
"Huh," I sneered.
"Eight, eight hundred...... Seven million should always be okay" Jin Siqi said: "Without seven million gold coins, it won't last long!" β
"Hehe" I still sneered, and said, "In this way, I will take the airship over now, and ask Rodney in person how many gold coins he needs, if it is not this amount, hum, see how I can clean you up." β
As I spoke, I was about to hang up the call crystal, and a voice came out of the crystal again: "Three million, three million gold coins, no less!" β
I picked up the microphone again and said lightly: "Why isn't it 10 million gold coins?" How did it suddenly become three million gold coins? β
Jin Siqi was silent, and after a few seconds, she was a little expectant Ai Ai, and said, "I, didn't I think about our guild......
"What do you mean by 'our guild'?" I interrupted her, "You're from the Rose Legion, and you have a relationship with the Valiant Guild?" β
"Actually...... The Valiant Guild has just recently joined forces with the Rose Legion," Jin Siqi said, "Now the two guilds are allies. β
"Hehe" I sneered: "You didn't tell me when you united, and you came to me when you asked for money?" Interesting, really interesting, are you taking me for a fool? β
"No," Jin Siqi argued: "No one takes you for a fool, it's just that some things came too suddenly, and I didn't have time to contact you......"
"Yo, the co-authorship was done all of a sudden?" I laughed and said, "You're really taking me for a fool, aren't you?" β
Then, I said, "From the beginning, I wondered why it wasn't Rodney, not Harold, not even Eva, who called me, it turned out to be you, it turned out to be the Rose Legion and the Guild of Valorant, but I always thought that the word 'union' was a misnomer, and I thought it might be more appropriate to replace it with something else, such as co-optation." β
