Chapter 9 Diao Min! Fighting monsters contains profound truths
The first thing Lin Yuanzheng had to do next was to find Xiao Qiao. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
That little Joe who sells counterfeit and shoddy products.
He strode into the restaurant angrily, and then slapped the broken Heavenly Sword on the counter.
"This is the legendary Heavenly Sword! The peerless sword leans on the heavenly sword! It's still a recharge gift! Haha, this fake and shoddy product! I want you to lose money right away! And compensate me for my mental damage! ”
Xiao Qiao was taken aback by him, but as soon as he came back to his senses, he immediately rolled his eyes at him-
"Are you blind? Does the sign say that this is a peerless weapon?! That's a treasure! Do you know what a rarity is? It's a treasure trove! Who told you to use it to fight! And is it written that the Heavenly Sword will not break? ”
This time it was Lin Yuanzheng's turn to be dumbfounded, because the sign did clearly say "The first charge of any amount can get a peerless treasure - Yitian Sword" - it is a peerless treasure, not a peerless weapon.
However, he was still unconvinced: "I don't care, you can't sell me this kind of knock-off goods as shoddy." ”
"Someone's coming, someone is looking for trouble!!"
Xiao Qiao broke out in horror again, and a big black man like an iron tower flashed behind Lin Yuanzheng like a ghost again, and threw Lin Yuanzheng out of the door without saying a word.
Lin Yuanzheng had no choice but to go to the village to find the patriarch to administer justice.
At such an important moment, the mysterious old patriarch unsurprisingly disappeared.
Lin Yuanzheng had no choice but to sigh.
Now he has nothing left.
Fortunately, there is no endless road -
He saw again the package he had lost in the first place. He found that although the package looked dirty, it was actually just a gray color of the cloth, and it looked dirty.
Inside the package was a pair of straw sandals and a short wooden stick. There are some tiny spikes on the wooden stick, and the grip is very smooth, but it looks like a mini version of the mace, Lin Yuanzheng waved it a few times, it feels very good, it seems that it should be a novice weapon.
The wrapped cloth was unfolded into a coarse cloth blouse, although the style was simple and the color was gray, but it was better than the prison clothes on his body that were damaged by lightning, so Lin Yuanzheng immediately changed into it, put on straw sandals, and said goodbye to his bare feet.
Changing into newbie gear, my stomach is already rumbling with hunger, and the biggest problem at this time is that there is no money.
But fortunately, although there is no money, there is still hope - what happened just now is very unlucky, but it also shows one point: monsters can be sold for money.
As long as you can hit the monsters, eating shouldn't be a problem.
Since the monsters in the village can't be fought, it's better to go outside the village.
Lin Yuanzheng thought so, and soon he found that the strange people around this village were really called "many": I don't know if it was a wolf or a wild dog with a big mouth and drooling, a bear with a body as huge as a tank, a snake with a tail as thick as a bowl, a wild boar with fangs half a meter long, and a tiger roar that shook the eardrums in the distance......
These wild monsters are all tall and ferocious-looking, and Lin Yuanzheng is furious when he sees it: Is it me fighting the wild monster or the wild monster beating me? Nima, it's okay to give a way to live!
Means of subsistence? Of course.
The hard work paid off, and under Lin Yuanzheng's unremitting carpet search, half an hour later, he still found a wild monster that he was sure to deal with: the little white rabbit.
The little white rabbit looks very cute, although it is the size of a dog, and has a pair of eagle wings on its body, but it has been hiding quietly in the grass and eating grass with its big and round eyes, and when he saw Lin Yuanzheng coming, he did not put it aside, but looked at Lin Yuanzheng very gently.
"Damn, the wild monster is still so cute, how can people do it! This is simply teaching people to sin! It is a great sin, and it deserves death! ”
Lin Yuanzheng complained in his heart, but he complained and complained, what should be done still has to be done. Therefore, he did not hesitate to pick up the mini mace and hit it on the head of the little white rabbit.
"When—"
The sound seemed to be striking the bell, which was surprisingly loud, and it also startled Lin Yuanzheng a lot. Even the chicken-oh, no, he just killed a chicken, I think he hasn't even killed a duck, he obviously didn't use much strength, how could he be so loud?
The little white rabbit stretched out one foot and touched his head, looking very wronged. Lin Yuanzheng's heart suddenly sprouted, and he couldn't do it anymore. But just as he was about to leave, the little white rabbit rolled over, stretched, lifted his neck high, and began to growl.
The voice is sharp and unpleasant, which is completely opposite to the cute image on the outside.
"I guess it's going to be a rescuer." Lin Yuanzheng was a little panicked. It soon became clear that his fears were not entirely unfounded.
Suddenly, three dazzling lights appeared in the air around him, and slowly, when the light was less dazzling, a vague humanoid silhouette appeared inside, and when the lines gradually became clear, the outline became a human - two richly dressed archers, and a judge with a brush in one hand and an account book in the other.
NPCs? This way of appearing is so gorgeous! Lin Yuanzheng sighed quietly in his heart.
"That Diao Min! Can you hunt monsters here, can you have official permission? The judge asked, his voice very high-pitched, a little yin and yang.
"Permission? What licensing? Although he didn't understand what the other party was referring to, Lin Yuanzheng felt faintly uneasy in his heart.
"Scared! Diao Min! Hurry up and take it with me! The judge's pale face suddenly turned red, and without saying a word, he instructed the two archers to restrain Lin Yuanzheng.
"Who are you? What the hell is going to be done! Lin Yuanzheng struggled hard, but the strength of the two archers was too far away, and he was pressed so that he had no power to resist.
"Diao Min! You've broken the ban! ”
"What?" Lin Yuanzheng was stunned again.
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. You have violated the royal law by fighting monsters on official land without permission, do you know? "The judge is in a bit of a hurry.
Lin Yuanzheng shook his head.
"Then I'll just say it, do you know that you need to get a monster fighting permit?" The judge was so anxious that he spoke in the vernacular.
Do you need to get a license to fight monsters? Let's be funny! Uncle, I've played so many games, and it's the first time I've heard of it! Do you still need a certificate to fight monsters? It's a ridiculous joke! Absurd! Absurd! Amusing!
"It's a matter of course to play games and fight monsters, I don't know why it's not necessary." Lin Yuanzheng still stubbornly shook his head.
"Humph! Stupidity! Diao Min! How can you fight monsters without a permit! How can you fight monsters without a permit! The judge was so anxious that his mouth frothed, "You think these wild monsters are all raised by your family?" Fight as much as you want?! Hey, let this judge tell you: these monsters are all born, but there are only a limited number of them. If you don't get a permit, everyone will come and hunt indiscriminately, and the wild monsters will become extinct sooner or later!
Think about it: if these beautiful and lovely wild monsters are extinct, how will our descendants feel this rich and colorful nature? - So, the monster fight permit is actually to protect nature!
So you must get a certificate to fight monsters! A certificate is required! Otherwise, how can we maintain ecological balance and maintain the sustainable development of man and nature? - Diao Min! This judge has always been convincing with reason, and he has gone to great lengths to explain to you, do you understand? ”
"Understood...... Lin Yuanzheng suddenly realized, sweating profusely on his forehead and body, and immediately sincerely bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I didn't expect that fighting monsters and applying for a certificate also contains such a profound truth!" Damn, damn it, I always thought it was a matter of course, what a stupidity! I will not dare to do it again in the future! ”
"Uh-yes, yes!" The judge was very appreciative of Lin Yuanzheng's attitude of fully realizing his mistakes and immediately starting self-criticism, but immediately added, "Did you kill that little white rabbit just now?" It's okay to be killed. Let's calculate how much tax you're going to pay. ”
"What? Do you have to pay taxes to fight monsters? "Lin Yuanzheng's worldview is messy again.
"Definitely have to pay taxes!"
"Why pay taxes?" Lin Yuanzheng expressed dissatisfaction.
"Why? Hey! Diao Min is Diao Min! You've forgotten what this judge just said! Fortunately, the judge likes to convince people with reason—is that monster your own? No! So who does it belong to? Naturally, it belongs to the official family, to everyone, and to the people of the world! If you use the public property of the people of the world for your own personal gain, shouldn't you take the relevant responsibility and contribute to the society by paying some taxes? ”
"Damn the grass people! It turns out that fighting monsters and paying taxes also contains such a profound truth! Lin Yuanzheng was convinced.
"Good! Good attitude to admit mistakes! This judge will give a lighter punishment - you have beaten the monster without a license, violated the peace and all the funds on your body. Are you convinced? ”
"Convinced, served." Lin Yuanzheng honestly accepted it, and then turned over several pockets, which were empty. The three NPCs looked at each other with wide eyes.
"All the funds I have on me are zero, and now they have all been taken out and punished to you." Lin Yuanzheng spread his hands helplessly.
The judge was also deeply helpless, Lin Yuanzheng had indeed handed over all the funds on his body, so he had to sigh: "Then let's calculate the tax payable." Kill a wild rabbit and you need to pay personal income tax, business tax, maintenance of social security tax, education surcharge, environmental tax, well, and VAT and stamp duty......"
"And stamp duty?!" Lin Yuanzheng is about to jump.
"Of course, we have to issue a bill for you to make a voucher after collecting taxes. Nasty, don't interrupt me. ”
"But do you have to pay taxes before you generate income......" Lin Yuanzheng was messy.
"It doesn't matter, we usually collect it in advance."
"So," Lin Yuanzheng innocently pointed to the beautiful rabbit that was still quietly grazing, "I also want to pay taxes and contribute to society, the problem is that it is still alive." ”
The judge also began to get anxious: "But, you can't let us run for nothing." We only go out empty-handed, and we never go back empty-handed, Diao Min. ”
"Well, I'll give you this—that's all I have." Lin Yuanzheng was very reluctant to hand over the mini mace to the judge.
The three NPCs finally had nothing to say at this point, and the mini mace disappeared after accepting it.
The last decent thing on his body was gone.
But Lin Yuanzheng didn't have that much to worry about.
If a person hasn't eaten anything for a day and a half, who has the energy to think about that.
To get back to the point, now that I'm penniless, the problem of eating hasn't been solved yet? Wild monsters can't be fought, and they can't be fought, so what should I do in the future???
It's been a day of tossing, and it's already dusk, and there is a wonton stall in the alley of the village at some point.
The wonton seller is an aunt, who looks a little like Aunt Luhua, but not as fat as Aunt Luhua.
I saw that her hands and feet were very quick to mix the dough, roll the skin, wrap the stuffing, and then throw the round, fat wontons into the boiling water, after a while, scoop them up, put them into the big bowls that have been lined up, pour fresh soup, sprinkle with chopped green onions, pepper, and a few drops of sesame oil, a bowl of hot, steaming wontons with an attractive fragrance is ready.
Lin Yuanzheng stood in front of the stall and smelled the fragrance for more than half an hour. Every time a bowl of ravioli was made, he twitched his nose greedily. If he had money, he would have rushed over a long time ago, and it is estimated that he would be able to eat eight bowls out of ten.
So, the question arises: does he have money?
In fact, no money is not a problem, at least there is one more way to try: begging, for example.
No,no,no。
Although Lin Yuanzheng has no money in his pocket, he still wants face, even in front of strangers. The reason is very simple, if you open your mouth to beg, then what is the difference between you and a beggar? So, do you still want to be a human being?
So Lin Yuanzheng refused in his heart.
He's waiting.
Wait for a chance.
He had been observing the wonton seller and the Chaos stall for a long time, and the stall had been set up for less than an hour, but no one from the village had come to patronize it. But the aunt who makes wontons is so diligent that she never stops making wontons for a moment.
Here's the chance: what will happen to her next when she makes so many ravioli and no one buys them?
In fact, you don't have to think about it, as soon as the wontons cooled down, Aunt Wonton neatly picked up bowls of bowls of full wontons and made a gesture: pour them out.
Pour into a nearby bucket of swill.
Then start a new round of making ravioli.
NPCs are capricious! Lin Yuanzheng was so excited that he burst into tears. Don't they understand what it means to "waste is a crime"? Haven't they learned the famous poem "The swill bucket wonton stinks, and there are starving bones on the road"? Is there any heavenly reason in this world?
However, Lin Yuanzheng was still willing to wait.
At the beginning of man, nature is good. People's hearts are full of flesh, so he doesn't believe it: the wonton seller aunt who looks so kind and enthusiastic will really be hard-hearted and unsympathetic!
Oh, no, Aunt Wonton isn't human, she's an NPC - but all the NPCs in this world are more real than real people!
Speak, Auntie. As soon as you open your mouth to give, I will immediately accept it with embarrassment. Speak up, auntie. I'll be waiting for your words.
Hard work pays off.
Aunt Wonton finally spoke: "Hey, young man, you've been standing in front of my stall for an hour!" Do you buy it or not? If you don't buy it, go away, don't delay the old lady to do business! ”
With a "buzz", Lin Yuanzheng felt that his eyes were bursting with stars, his ears were roaring, his body shook a few times, and he finally stood firm.
"Auntie, may I ask if you lack a handicap, such as washing dishes or something. I don't want your salary, just give me a bowl of ravioli. Lin Yuanzheng finally got his senses and was glad for his wit.
"Do you want to eat white food? Go to Yizhuang, there is! The old lady is going to close the stall now. The old lady finally stopped making wontons and cooking wontons, and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and pans neatly.
Yizhuang? Lin Yuanzheng doubted, in the Hong Kong films he had seen before, wasn't Yizhuang a place to park the coffins of the dead?
