Chapter Twenty-Six: The Bold Black Marketeer
Hearing Su Xiao's words, the black market merchant laughed, and then said disdainfully: "Although I have a lot of things here, there is no shortage of sales, young man, if you want to joke with me, then forget it." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
There are not many opportunities to meet black market merchants, of course Su Xiao can't give up, gritted his teeth, and said cheekily: "The gold coins are not enough, I can use things to make up, I still have more than a hundred hemostatic herbs in my backpack, plus 15 gold coins, I don't know if I can afford to buy it?" β
What is Hemostatic Herb? It's the kind of thing that is put in the pharmacy for twenty copper coins per plant, and it is impossible to use more than 100 hemostatic grass plants to top 35 gold coins! However, Su Xiao didn't talk nonsense with his eyes closed, the reason why he proposed to replace the gold coins with herbs was because in his memory, black market merchants would buy herbs at a high price. Anyway, you can't afford to buy any equipment, so you might as well gamble, how much is face worth?
"More than a hundred hemostatic herbs?" The black marketeer thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I agreed. β
The black market merchant said this, which means that Su Xiao won the gamble, but things are far from so simple, how can a businessman make a loss-making business? "It's too cheap for you, though. I have a condition, before you leave Peacock City, I will be here on the first day of every month, and you will need to provide me with a hundred herbs for free. If you say yes, I'll give you 15 gold free, what? β
How? This TMD is also too cost-effective! This deal is so good that Su Xiao wants to smoke herself! Why does he level up every day? Isn't it just to catch up with a black marketeer? How do you know that the other party is willing to reappear for a hundred hemostatic grasses, and they are also fixed at regular intervals?
Looking at this warehouse full of high-end equipment, Su Xiao was so greedy that he only swallowed his saliva, even if he couldn't afford to buy even one piece, he should visit it once a month, and the deal was worth it! Having said that, Su Xiao also hoped to win more benefits for herself, rubbing her hands and asking, "Of course, a hundred free hemostatic herbs are no problem, but if I still have more herbs, can I use them to buy things?" β
"Of course!" The black marketeer smiled, "The more herbs, the better, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory price." β
"Deal!" Su Xiao nodded, these more than 100 herbs were just picked by him and Chen Yaxuan on the way to level up, if you put more effort into herbs, two hundred plants a month is not too much.
Paying the money in one hand and delivering the goods in the other, Su Xiao put the level 20 silver-character weapon into his backpack and asked casually: "What will you do if I don't come back after I leave?" β
When the black marketeer heard this, he grinned and showed his white teeth, "It's okay, I'll go find you." β
Looking at the other party's smile, Su Xiao suddenly felt a chill haunted by ghosts, and couldn't help but take a step back and said, "I, Su Xiao, am a man of my word, and I will never break my word!" β
"That's good." The black marketeer nodded, "I bought what I should have bought, the deal has been set, and you should leave, young man." β
"Wait!" Su Xiao said with interest: "Since we have made a deal, and you still have an order with me, then we can be regarded as partners, even if I can't afford it, can you let me open my eyes?" "Purple, silver, and gold clothes that can easily fill a shelf, Su Xiao is really curious about what the treasure of the town warehouse in this warehouse is.
"The treasure of the town warehouse, can you take it out and look at it casually?" The black marketeer shook his head triumphantly.
"How much is it worth? Can you always tell me? Su Xiao's idea was simple, knowing the price, he could estimate it and buy it, but he didn't want to dig the grass for a month, but he didn't want the black market merchant to give the answer without thinking: "Priceless treasure!" β
The black marketeer didn't want to talk nonsense with Su Xiao anymore, shook his head and walked to the desk, sat comfortably on a rocking chair, and said proudly: "No one can afford it, because the price of everything in this warehouse is set according to my mood, and if I say that it is priceless, then no one will buy it from me." β
Su Xiao still refused to give up, "I don't know how to change your mood?" β
"Change my mood? Hehe, you're a funny boy. The black marketeer closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then pointed to the top of his head and said, "I still have a hat missing this dress, and if you can help me find a suitable hat, it is not impossible to give you that treasure......
Before he finished speaking, the black markete merchant saw Su Xiao take out a black top hat from his backpack, and the whole person was not good!
Gentleman's Hat: Only a gentleman of class can be worthy of this hat.
Seeing the reaction of the black market merchant, Su Xiao's heart blossomed! Ever since the Slime Gentleman revealed the hat, he's been obsessed with the outfit. It wasn't until the black marketeer said that the dress lacked a hat that he finally understood that the gentleman's top hat was actually a special item used to deal with the black marketeer!
"Young man, what's that in your hand?" The black marketeer stared directly at the gentleman's top hat in Su Xiao's hand, and said in the tone of abducting a child, "Will you show me?" β
Seeing that the black market merchant had a request for himself, Su Xiao suddenly understood that the relationship between the guest and the host of the two sides had been reversed, so he put on a reluctant posture and said contrivedly: "This is a good product that I got after brushing more than 200 Slime Gentlemen, you say just take a look, then I am very faceless?" β
When the black marketeer heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, this hat is not for me, I don't say anything else, I still save a lot of good things, I will exchange it with you!" β
βNONONONONOοΌβ Su Xiao shook his head like a rattle, and said with a wicked smile: "I remember that someone just said that as long as you can find a suitable hat, you will give away the most valuable goods here." How? Can a businessman's words not count? β
"You!" The black marketeer stood up angrily, his originally slightly dark red skin became even more ruddy, he glared at Su Xiao for a long time, and saw that the other party had an attitude that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Give me the hat, take the goods away!" β
"Deal!" Su Xiao laughed and threw the hat into the other party's arms.
The black marketeer was not a small person, he put his hat on his head, and reluctantly led Su Xiao to a box in the corner of the warehouse - this box was not big, about a meter long, wide and high, covered with a thick layer of black cloth, it looked very inconspicuous in this warehouse, if someone could really rob this place, they would definitely not think that there would be any good goods in it.
"What's this?"
"Just look at it." The black marketeer grabbed a corner of the black cloth with his white-gloved hand and pulled it so hard that the black cloth slipped off the box, bringing up a cloud of dust.
"Ahem, ahem!" Su Xiao coughed violently, but his eyes narrowed into a slit, always paying attention to the contents of the box. However, when the dust settled, he was surprised to find that under the black cloth was not a box at all, but an iron cage made of steel bar! Naturally, the cage could not be some superb equipment, but a child who was shrunk into a ball and shivering!
What the heck? Su Xiao looked at the black market merchant with a blank face, and said in his heart that this product would not admit it if he took the hat, right? Child? Even if you sell slaves, you can still have a strong body, is it possible for such a big child to be kept by me? What a priceless treasure, it must be playing tricks! Profiteer! Desperate profiteers!
Seeing Su Xiao looking at him with distrustful eyes, the black market merchant was uncomfortable, frowned and said, "Young man, people can be ignorant, but they can't blame others for this ignorance!" Maybe in your eyes, this little girl is not as good as a tabula rasadager, but in my eyes, she is the treasure of the town! β
"I'm hehe! Doesn't I have to thank you for saying such a nice thing? Tell me where she's priceless? Su Xiao said with an unhappy face.
"Okay." The black marketeer seemed to be afraid of scaring the caged girl, and asked a question that shocked Su Xiao in a soft voice, "Do you know why you were summoned to this world?" β
Su Xiao's eyes widened and stared at the side face of the black market merchant, and asked word by word, "Do you know?" β
"Knock it out, I know." The black marketeer's tone was calm, he knew that Su Xiao would definitely ask, so he said to himself, "This is a very old story. 10,000 years ago, this continent was a borderless land, and flowers, birds, fish and insects were the masters here. One day, in this thriving wilderness, a life that could walk upright was born, and that was the God of creation, which is what you see as God. He has boundless divine power, he can move the clouds from above, and he can pour the sea from below, and he plays on this continent unscrupulously for hundreds of years, until he is lonely......"
Su Xiao didn't interrupt the black marketeer's words, and although his words sounded like a mythical story, they seemed to introduce the background of this world.
"In order to relieve the boredom, God created a life similar to his own, out of personal interest, he did not create a single kind of human, but created demons, elves, orcs and humans in the four corners of the continent, and gave them different talents, while helping them grow, while inducing them to contact, watching them befriend each other, and watching them start wars. To God, it's definitely more fun than running in the mountains and forests. β
"After thousands of years, seeing that the species created by his own hands multiply in an infinite cycle, but never grow to a height where they can play with themselves, God intervened again and created for them the four professions of warrior, mage, priest and thief, and sent down an oracle, whoever can become the strongest of these four professions will become a god. And so, a fierce fight that knew no borders or races arose, and this fierce fight almost destroyed this little history......"
Speaking of this, the black marketeer closed his eyes and sighed softly, with a look of regret on his face, "God feels that he has done something wrong, in order to protect these lives that have been multiplied for thousands of years, he has sent divine punishment to the world, so that the children born to these survivors are limited to occupations and ranks as soon as they are born, even if people still have illusions about the god position in their hearts, maybe level 10 is the apex of their lives, or maybe they are born as unemployed people who cannot be upgraded." β
Hearing this, Su Xiao finally understood why his people were summoned to this world, since the people of this world have been limited to what they can achieve in a lifetime, then they are destined to have no way to compete with the upcoming beast tide. However, these humans from the other world have not been bound by divine punishment, they can choose their profession, they can continue to upgrade, and they can even be awarded the god position!
The price is to protect the world!
