Chapter 9: The Greenskins Tribe
There is no urgency to change scholars, and for now, Joshu still takes care of Lei Yi's affairs first.
Grimm Shop is an alchemy shop, which basically sells alchemy products, but the functions are varied, from fighting to life.
It can be said that only you can't think of it, there is nothing that can't be sold here.
However, it has to be said that there are still many customers who demand many strange items, and as the owner of the store, he has even seen customers custom-made dyes that make the walls glow golden.
It is said that the guest was a money-gosmer who longed to sleep in a glittering room one day, but his wealth could not satisfy his wish, so he pinned his hopes on the products of alchemy.
And today, this strange boss watched the departure of a guest with a strange eye, it was Yoxiu.
It's not that the other party's consumption is too low for him to despise, in fact, Yue Xiu smashed a few gold coins on it, which is already a big customer, but the other party's unique demand......
Well, it is estimated that it is another guest with quirks, the boss thinks so, but the dimensional ring on Joxiu's hand makes him quite envious, and he takes away a bunch of goods with a wave of his hand, he also has this wealth, but he is reluctant to buy such a luxurious storage item.
"What a loser!" He muttered in his heart, Yue Xiu was too young, and his emaciated figure should have been hollowed out by wine, so he silently despised it, guessing which nobleman's heir.
No matter how much he wanted to break his head, he couldn't guess that Joshu was a little pauper not long ago, otherwise he wouldn't know how surprised he would be that a pauper could have fulfilled the lifelong dream of others in just a few days - to get rid of poverty? No, Joshua is already one of the few richest people in Deadwood City.
The shopkeeper's speculation was insignificant to Joshua, he knew what he was doing would be looked at in a strange light, and he didn't care.
In order to achieve his next goal, this is basically the cheapest and fastest way.
There is a tribe of greenskins in the north outside Deadwood City, there are about three or four hundred people, the appearance of the greenskins looks similar to that of goblins, the average height is about one meter, and the skin is green and oily, very rough.
Some historians have speculated that the Greenskins are a branch of the Goblins, but no reliable evidence has been found, and the Greenskins are more greedy than the Goblins.
Many merchants who want to bargain for their favor, or who fancy their ore specialties, tend to be deflated, and few people can tolerate their insatiable greed, except for those who really need it urgently.
As for the few who can take advantage of the greenskins, they are even more cunning than the thieves in the slums in the eyes of the merchants of Deadwood City.
Now, on the way to the Greenskins, Joxiu met some traveling caravans who were eating deflated at the Greenskins, and when he met Yoxiu, he made a special remark, and saw that Joxiu didn't listen to their advice, and his face was not very good-looking, and he felt that Joxiu was obsessed.
"Hmph, do you expect to get something out of those green-skinned devils? Don't be deceived so much that your pants are left behind, uninformed little ghost! β
In this regard, the fraudster Yue Xiu could only smile helplessly, did he still go up and quarrel with others?
The Greenskins Tribe -
With a wave of his hand, a richly dressed teenager swept all the piles of ore that the greenskins had taken out to the ground, and even preemptively became angry in front of the angry greenskins.
"I'm genuinely trading with you for some strange things, but look at what you're bringing out!"
"A pile of broken stones! The stones of the paved huts in my yard are more valuable than theirs! It's a scarlet stone from the North, and a small piece costs 10 silver coins! β
"Is that your attitude towards a distinguished visitor?" The young man sneered coldly, "Maybe those lowly businessmen will rush to these dirty things, but Young Master Ben is not the group of jackals who get up early when they see profit!" β
As he spoke, he waved his big hand, and a pile of golden gold coins appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw the eyes of the green-skinned people.
Oh my God, they swear they've never seen so many gold coins in front of them in their lives!
No wonder the other party said that the ore they took out was a broken stone, and the other party was not rare at all!
It's just that they are very confused and a little anxious, and there is nothing else in their tribe that can be taken except this little thing, as for snatching?
"The more cunning a person is, the more cowardly he is." This is a famous quote from a goblin scholar, and the Greenskin interprets it to the extreme.
The young man snorted coldly, and said very disdainfully: "If it weren't for Viscount Jiawen, who came here to play, told me that you might have strange things here, I wouldn't have dared to come to such a shabby and dirty place." β
If other young people said such things, the greenskins might have kicked them out even if they were greedy, but for some reason, they felt that there was a strange magic in the young man's words.
This magic was so convincing that they both agreed with each other's words in their hearts, and compared them with each other, feeling that this place was not even as good as each other's pits!
This sentence also reminds the Greenskins that the other party's purpose is to find something strange, and although they don't know what is strange, it does not hinder their enthusiasm for gold coins.
Soon, news of a distinguished guest's visit spread throughout the tribe, and in less than half an hour, hundreds of greenskins placed everything they thought was strange in front of the boy.
"Misshapen branches, trolls?!" The green-skinned man seemed to see the green tendons on the young man's forehead, and hurriedly scattered.
This time, almost the entire tribe was turned upside down by them, and even the black ring on the old chief's hand was ripped off, which was a bit offensive, but the old chief also beat it when he saw the bright gold coin.
While they were anxiously waiting for the results, the young man finally nodded with a little satisfaction, and picked out a few things, "It's okay, these things have been changed by the young master!" β
After taking out ten gold coins as a price, the young man wanted to leave, after seeing the pile of golden light just now, how could the green-skinned man let go of this "stupid hat" so easily?
So they kept shouting, and even after the boy took out the same amount of gold coins again, they were still not satisfied.
In the end, the boy gritted his teeth and took out a thumb-sized, shiny orbβ
"Hmph," seeing the eyes of those green-skinned people, like the expressions of countrymen entering the city, the young man seemed to get a great sense of satisfaction, and said a little ostentatiously: "Haven't you seen it?" β
"This is the product of great alchemy, and you probably don't understand such a high-level thing as alchemy, but you just need to know that this thing is very valuable, far more valuable than gold coins!"
"For the sake of your stuff, it's quite interesting, so Master Ben will make an exception for you to give you one!"
If the deal had been done like this, the Greenskins wouldn't have been so notorious for their greed, and they ended up haggling with the boy.
In the end, the boy was so angry that he paid the expensive price of thirty crystal balls and traded the greenskins' pile of "rags", even if the boy felt that he had suffered a loss and asked for compensation from ten broken ores, the group of greenskins smiled and watched the boy's departure as if they had won the battle.
Obviously, this aristocratic boy is a fool in their eyes.
The boy is none other than Joshua, a legendary player, and a professional fraudster would be a silly hat?
Unbeknownst to them, after leaving the tribe, Joshua almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and this method was secretly told to him by a friend and told him not to spread the word, which was the known way to take advantage of the greedy ghosts of the Greenskins.
In fact, when his friend told him, he was still skeptical, because he knew the peculiarity of his profession, and even his own methods could only have a slight advantage in the trade with the greenskins.
If it weren't for the experiment, Joshu would have found it hard to believe that the greenskins, who are known for their cunning, would not know about the existence of the glass balls!
Yes, the so-called crystal ball that Joshu traded with them at the end was actually a pure, good-looking but inexpensive alchemy product of the Qilun Continent, and in the words of their players, it was a pile of broken glass.
However, these glasses are rare treasures in the eyes of the green-skinned people, which makes Joxiu cry and laugh, it can be said that the thirty glass balls are worth a gold coin at most, which is mainly labor costs.
The gold coins that were put there before, to say the least, there were thirty or forty gold coins, and I didn't want thirty gold coins, but I asked for thirty glass balls that were only worth less than one gold coin? It's hard to believe anyone who says it.
However, it has to be said that this is indeed a situation similar to the darkness of the lamp, when everyone knows the cunning and greed of the greenskins, who will trade with the glass balls that fool children?
After casually throwing away a bunch of rags on the road, Joxiu found that he had gained an unexpectedly big harvest this time.
He counted them, and the valuable things he got from the Greenskins were:
The purpose of the trip was a one-foot-long black wood stub, and a black ring from the old chieftain, and ten ores that could be used to refine the crystals of flowing iron.
