Chapter 004: Novice Mission
"Is this gold fake?" Hearing the prompt of the system, Gu Sheng's first reaction was whether he had been deceived.
Because he suddenly reacted, the world where Lu Xiaofeng was located was similar to the ancient times of China, and gold, as the highest level of circulating currency, had a purchasing power that should not be underestimated.
The purchasing power of one or two pieces of gold is at least equivalent to thousands of soft girl coins on the earth, and the ingot of gold that Lu Xiaofeng gave him should be ten taels, and its purchasing power will not be much lower even if it is not as good as the money that can be exchanged for selling it on the earth.
Lu Xiaofeng just came to stay in a hotel, do you need to give him so much money?
System: "No, in his world, this is indeed ten taels of gold, but if the host wants to sell it in your world, it will be worth a dozen yuan at most." β
"You're saying it's not real gold, it's just about the same?"
"Hmm." The system confirmed.
When the ancient saint heard this, he was disappointed.
After being reminded by the system, he probably understood what the situation was, simply put, the so-called 'gold' in this world may be at most equivalent to some kind of brass on the earth, although it is very valuable here, but if it is taken to the earth, it is just a piece of scrap metal.
However, from this point of view, Lu Xiaofeng really didn't mean to fool him, but really gave him a gold ingot equivalent to tens of thousands of yuan in this world.
If it weren't for the difference in gold between the two worlds, he really wanted to rush over and hug Lu Xiaofeng's golden thighs now, and then shout: Trench, friend?
For this kind of local tyrant who can give tens of thousands of yuan to live in a store, Gu Sheng has nothing to say at all.
But it's a pity that now this ingot of gold is very chicken for the ancient saint, just such a piece of scrap iron, if you take it back and want to sell it, you may not be able to sell it, it will definitely not be enough to pay for the house. Gu Sheng opened an inn, not a benevolent hall, and it was impossible to do this kind of loss-making business.
"What, what's the difficulty of Boss Gu?" Lu Xiaofeng noticed a series of strange changes in the expression on Gu Sheng's face, and asked quietly.
"I'm sorry." Gu Sheng smiled a little embarrassedly, "That's the case, I'm running a small business, I can't find it if you give me so much money, or ...... Do you change it? β
"It doesn't have to be that much trouble." Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, "When I leave, there is no need to return more money to Boss Gu, it is still unknown whether I can escape this time, and it is a waste of money to stay on my body, so it is better to spend it all." β
Who cares for your money!
Gu Sheng's face darkened, and he was depressed by Lu Xiaofeng's 'uninteresting' answer.
This ingot of gold is really worth tens of thousands of yuan, and the ancient saint can't use this euphemistic way to refuse the other party to pay with it, but who makes the difference between the two worlds.
Lu Xiaofeng has said everything about this, and the ancient saint can't be more tactful.
"Then I'll be straightforward, I don't charge gold here, if you want to stay here, please take something else to pay for the room." Gu Sheng said.
While the Gu Sage was speaking, he also returned the ingot of gold to Lu Xiaofeng.
"Something else?" Lu Xiaofeng took the gold and frowned, "I only brought some scattered silver taels with me to the Mysterious Island this time, and I have spent them before, and this ingot of gold is still from Gong Jiu's hand, and I don't have anything else of value on me." β
"This ......" Gu Sheng also heard that Lu Xiaofeng was not lying, a person who thought he was going to die had no need to lie about such a trivial matter.
"Since Boss Gu has this kind of rule here, then Lu will not bother and leave-" Lu Xiaofeng saw Gu Sheng's embarrassment, there was no nonsense, and he directly hugged his fists and planned to leave.
At the same time, a three-dimensional virtual prompt box appeared in front of the ancient saint's eyes:
γDing Dong!γ The Starter Quest has been successfully triggered! γ
[Quest content: Find a way to keep the first visitor from another world in front of you, and make him choose to stay in the inn for more than one day without losing money! γ
[Task Reward: A 'Newbie Gift Pack', Evolution Points x100!] γ
[Failure penalty: Actually, there is no punishment, but there is only one chance for the novice task, and if you miss it, you miss it, and there will be no next time! ] γ
[Mission Hint: As the future owner of the 'World's No. 1 Inn', you must learn to face different emergencies, and now is a good opportunity, come on, rookie!] γ
The ancient saint swept his gaze, and he had already seen the content on the virtual prompt box.
When he finished reading it, the virtual prompt box disappeared in an instant, and at this time, Lu Xiaofeng had already walked to the door, and he was about to step out with one foot.
"Eh, you wait!" Seeing this, Gu Sheng hurriedly stopped Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng stopped when he heard this, turned around and looked at the ancient saint with some doubts.
The ancient saint didn't answer him directly, and was silent for a few seconds before he said, "I only said that I wouldn't accept gold, but I didn't say anything else......"
"But I have nothing of value but this gold."
"No, you have!"
Gu Sheng's expression had calmed down at this time, and he said with a smile, "There should be a lot of martial arts that you know, you can use these martial arts to pay for the room...... Well, not only the room fee, but even the trouble you are encountering now, I may be able to help you solve it. β
"Help me get out of trouble?" Lu Xiaofeng's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Not bad." Gu Sheng turned his hands behind his back and smiled calmly, "Aren't you being chased and killed by Gong Jiu?" I can assure you that as long as you are still living in my inn, no one can hurt a single hair of you, Gong Jiu is not good, the people behind Gong Jiu ...... Not at all! β
"Oh?" Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows, obviously the ancient saint's words surprised him again.
It's not that he doesn't know that there is a 'little old man' Wu Ming on this mysterious island who is more terrifying than Gong Jiu, and he has also had a few brief contacts with the other party, so he knows that the 'little old man' is unfathomable, and it is definitely an old monster ten times more terrifying than Gong Jiu!
Facing Gong Jiu, Lu Xiaofeng is not without the strength to fight, even if there is a gap in the strength of the two, it will not be very big, but if he is replaced by a 'little old man', he doesn't even have the courage to fight with him.
Fortunately, only Gong Jiu wanted to kill him, and the 'little old man' was not hostile to him, and it seemed that he also had the idea of including him in the Invisible People Organization.
In Lu Xiaofeng's opinion, if the ancient saint could open an inn on this mysterious island, it would be impossible for him to have nothing to do with the Invisible Man Organization.
In this case, Gu Sheng must also know what kind of terrifying masters Gong Jiu and the 'little old man' are, but even in this case, Gu Sheng still dares to say that as long as he is still in this inn, he can guarantee that no one can hurt a single hair of his hair, which is a bit intriguing......
Either the Gu Sage is bragging, and he said this kind of thing in order to show off his martial arts, or it means that the Gu Sage has absolute strength, and he can deal with it even if the 'little old man' comes!
But...... Is this possible?
The strength of the 'little old man' is definitely the pinnacle that Lu Xiaofeng has seen since he walked the rivers and lakes, even if it is his good friend 'Sword God' Ximen Blowing Snow, he is definitely not his opponent!
The ancient saint in front of him doesn't look like he's in his twenties, and he doesn't look like a martial arts practitioner from the outside, so he can really deal with the 'little old man'?
Lu Xiaofeng thought quickly in his mind, trying to distinguish the truth from the fake.
