Chapter Seventy-Two: Merchant Peng Lei

"Ah, it's finally here at Nanxi Island. I'm afraid I'll die at the hands of the sea beast. ”

"yes. This time I suffered a heavy loss, I hope this little spirit stone in my hand can be turned over. ”

"Others come to this Liuyun Islands, and only we are dead."

A group of businessmen chattered.

They still have lingering fears about the previous tide of sea beasts. But now that they have finally arrived at Nanxi Island, they also have a glimmer of hope in their hearts. I hope that I can gain something on Nanxi Island and make up for my losses.

"Senior Zhao, Senior Zhao, I beg you, you can lend me some spirit stones. No more, 10,000 is enough. Or 5,000. At the gate of Nanxi City, Peng Lei pleaded with a monk.

The person he asked for was named Zhao Zhenyu, a monk in the foundation building period and the organizer of this fleet. He is the most powerful businessman in the crowd. This time the sea beast tide was the only one with almost no loss from him.

"Peng Lei, don't bother with it. I won't lend you spirit stones. I think I'm unlucky to be unlucky with the rent of this lucky boat. Don't be ignorant. Hurry up and leave, or don't blame me for being unkind. Zhao Zhenyu refused with an angry face.

"Senior Zhao, you also know my ability to make money. As long as I have spirit stones, I can pay off the loan quickly. As long as you lend it to me, I promise to pay you back double. Peng Lei continued to beg.

"You're dead. This is not a matter of spirit stones. It's your problem. Originally, I didn't agree with you following the ship. But I was soft-hearted and could not bear your request, so I granted you. Now everyone blames me, saying that I brought you in bad luck and brought the sea beast here. How dare I lend you money now. Zhao Zhenyu was unmoved.

"The sea beast tide has always been there in the Liuyun Islands, how can you rely on me." Peng Lei argued.

He knew that the monks of these merchant families looked down on him. He didn't want to be with him, but he didn't expect them to blame him for the sea beast tide. No wonder no one paid attention to him after the sea beast tide.

"Don't tell me, tell somebody else. Get out of the way, I'm going into town. Zhao Zhenyu was even more angry.

"Senior Zhao, since you refuse to lend me money. So can you give me back the spirit stone from before? Peng Lei said again.

Because of the contradictions with other businessmen. At first, Zhao Zhenyu didn't accept him, and he privately sent thousands of spirit stones to Zhao Zhenyu. Zhao Zhenyu agreed.

"What spirit stone? How can there be a spirit stone, it's really unkind for you to stop letting me see me. Zhao Zhenyu denied without hesitation. Then he pushed Peng Lei away.

"Alas!" Looking at Zhao Zhenyu's back, Peng Lei let out a desperate sigh.

……

"Peng Daoyou, what's going on with the spirit stone?" A casual cultivator on the side asked.

His name was Fang Wenjun, and he was a loose cultivator hired by Peng Lei before.

Peng Lei found him when he was looking for a guard. He gathered a group of like-minded Taoist friends, a total of more than a dozen people to form Peng Lei's escort team. Before the sea beast tide, several scattered cultivators had already died in battle. Now they still have ten people.

"Don't worry, I won't let you give up a single piece of your spirit stone. But I hope you can give me some time. Peng Lei looked embarrassed.

"Peng Daoyou, you also know that our casual cultivation is a day of licking blood on the tip of a knife. It's not easy for us to earn some spirit stones. We've had a couple of days of grace. Fang Wenjun was a little displeased.

It was very unlucky to take this mission, but it was even more unlucky to take on Peng Lei's task. Not only did he lose a few friends, but now even the commission is in vain.

"I know it's not easy for you. But you have been following me, and you know what I am doing. I really don't have a spirit stone now. Peng Lei said desperately.

"Alas! I'm unlucky to take on such a task as yours. It seems that we can only follow you, when will you pay off the spirit stone, when will we leave. Fang Wenjun replied.

They have no savings in their own right. If there were no spirit stones, their future cultivation and the cost of returning would be a problem. can only rely on Peng Lei.

"You ...... So be it. Peng Lei wanted to say something, but in the end he only sighed.

……

Inside the city of Nanxi. Peng Lei and Fang Wenjun had just entered the city.

At this time, Fang Wenjun's heart rolled over thousands of ***. The cost of entering the city just now was actually paid by him for Peng Lei. He's also cheap. But he also knew that Peng Lei, as a businessman, could only enter the city even if he wanted to turn over his book and find a way to make money.

After taking a turn in Nanxi City, Peng Lei's heart was filled with joy and sorrow.

Happily, he found many business opportunities at a casual glance. Sadly, there is no capital. As long as he had a few thousand spirit stones in his hand, he could double it when he changed hands. Not to mention the comeback, at least you can pay off this debt and send away the creditors behind you.

But now he only had one hundred spirit stones in his hand that he had cheekily borrowed from Fang Wenjun. You can't do anything with this money. Even surviving in Nanxi City is a problem. It's hard to make a comeback!

Peng Lei thought about finding a job first and slowly waited for the opportunity. But Fang Wenjun and the others would definitely not agree with his idea. They can't wait that long.

Just when he was desperate, a conversation from a tavern on the street caught his attention.

In the tavern were Yang Rui and others. They also found nothing this time, and they were ready to go back. When Little Beans come, they will return to Falling Feather Island.

"Brother Yang, we didn't get anything this time, how will we explain when we go back?" One of the guards asked.

"The entire Nanxi City is out of stock now, Childe will understand us and won't blame us." Yang Rui replied.

"I also know the character of the owner, and the owner of the island is magnanimous. I just don't think I can explain it to the people of the island. Without sufficient supplies, it is not known when the island will fully recover. The guard sighed.

"yes. The supplies needed on the island are not available. And now the price of sea beasts is constantly falling. It's not a good thing for us. Yang Rui was also a little helpless.

Shortages are a problem. The continued decline in the price of sea beasts is also not good news. Now there are many carcasses of sea beasts on the island. There is a limit to what can be consumed on Falling Feather Island. The rest still have to be replaced with spirit stones. But the price is too bad now.

The conversation between Yang Rui and the others continued. Nor did they shy away from others. Because they're talking about very ordinary things. There are too many Spirit Islands in the entire Liuyun Islands and their situation is similar. There is nothing surprising to come by.

But at this time, Peng Lei outside listened to everything. He had a vague feeling that this might be an opportunity for him. He knew that although the fleet had suffered heavy losses this time, there were also merchants who had almost no losses. They have plenty of supplies in their hands.

If he buys the carcass of a sea beast from the island that the people in the house are talking about, and then goes to the fleet merchant in exchange for supplies. Between one in and one out, it is his chance to turn over. Everyone in the fleet looked down on him, but they wouldn't look down on the spirit stone. As long as he has the goods in his hands, he is sure.

Thinking of this, he entered the tavern and walked straight to Yang Rui and the others.
