Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Ji Ran looked up and saw that it was a man in fancy clothes. His face was a little thief-eyed, more like a street thug than an alchemist.
He was now waving a box of sand-like things in his hand and yelling at the salesman. And behind him, a group of people were already around.
"Lead and gold are the famous shops in Summer Street, and they have done shoddy things! It's too much, I must let all the alchemists in Gransell know! The man shouted as he waved the box in his hand, and looked back at the others, trying to get their way.
Although Ji Ran didn't know the specific situation of the lead and gold alchemy shop now, this man's appearance was too familiar to himβeither to find fault and extort, or to specifically affect the reputation of the store.
In his own world, he had seen it tooβeither a ruffian trying to get a sum of money, or a competitor trying to damage the credibility of the store. Either way, if he succeeds, the blow to the store will be huge.
And you're having a hard time dealing with it. Quarrel with him? That would be right in his hands, and the bigger the trouble, the better. Pay for things and settle people? With the first time, there is a second time, and the other party may not be satisfied; Bear with it first and get into trouble with that guy afterwards? Well...... That's a good idea, but it's only for the really domineering stores with backgrounds. If the other party is looking for trouble, it is easy to make things bigger.
The best way is to find the flaws of the other party, and then find evidence to defeat the other party in one fell swoop. This way, everyone will know that he came to find trouble on purpose, and there is no need to be afraid to come back in the future.
But this is the best method, but it is the most difficult to implement. How can the guy who really came to find trouble not be prepared? It is not easy to find out his flaws.
The salesman obviously also knew some common sense of alchemy materials, and argued with the man. It's just that the man is messing around, and he insists that the store is wrong with the goods given to him. It's an inferior product, and there must be a statement.
There were more and more onlookers, and some even helped. Ji Ran looked at it coldly, and knew that the guy was in accomplice with the guy who found fault - the two still made eye contact from time to time, and it was easy to see if they paid attention.
Ji Ran watched from the side for a while, and now the girl salesman seemed to be about to cry, so he decided to go up and help. After all, this shop has a lot to do with Professor Sergei. It's kind of a help to the old guy. It's just that I don't know why there are no alchemists coming to solve the siege - it stands to reason that this kind of alchemy shop usually has a powerful alchemist in charge. Otherwise, if someone wants to buy precious materials or want to sell some rare materials, these salespeople can't handle it.
Ji Ran squeezed forward and looked at the box of sand-like things that the man was holding. Ji Ran recognized. This is a material called earth crystal sand, which is actually the product of earth element crystallization mixed in sand. This material is very useful when refining some low-level alchemy items, and the crystals of sand and earth elements can be fused together to wield some strange properties, which have an amplifying effect on earth-based spells and fighting energy.
Of course, in any case, it is not as good as the crystallization of the earth element. But earth elemental crystallization is too expensive for ordinary alchemists to afford. This kind of material that is associated with the crystallization of the earth element is still marketable among low-level alchemists.
In fact. When Ji Ran was fighting the rock lizards, a lot of this material fell on the ground. But at that time, it was too late for everyone to collect earth element crystals, who had time to collect such a low-priced thing?
In terms of quality, this earth crystal sand is indeed a bit too low. It was almost entirely sand, and only a little crystalline particle of earth could be seen shining in it. This kind of quality is a bit too much to say that it is inferior, and it is completely deceiving people.
A normal alchemy shop, even if it is adulterated, will not do it so obviously...... Are all customers blind? The man claimed that he had bought something and gone out to find out that it was wrong. It's nonsense!
People who really come to buy alchemy materials, if they see that Tujingsha is this ghost, they will buy it! This thing is said to be the earth crystal sand has elevated him, and in the eyes of the upright alchemist, this thing is sand!
But the man insisted that he didn't pay attention to the quality of the things when he bought them at that time, because he believed in the credibility of this brick and gold alchemy shop. I didn't expect this store to hurt customers!
From the man's words. Ji Ran probably heard that this guy was not here to blackmail, but simply to find fault.
He has been sparing no effort to make the matter bigger and let more people hear about it. Although not everyone believes him. But just two of them are enough. Then it will be passed in the direction of the lead and gold alchemy shops...... This is the inferior nature of human beings. Then, his purpose was achieved.
The best solution now is naturally to have a big counterattack and directly question the man speechless. In this case, things will be completely different.
The previous version read: "I heard that someone bought a fake in lead and gold!" Really? Forget it, whether it's true or not, just to be on the safe side, don't go anywhere with him. β
If the reversal is successful, then the version should be "Have you heard that someone went to lead and gold fraud to find fault, and was slapped in the face by an expert inside!" Lead and gold are so talented! β
The direction of this gossip is completely different!
But those who deliberately come to find fault must be very guarded. If Ji Ran wants to catch the other party's flaws, he must find an opportunity.
"Hey, what's the birth? Brother, I heard that you bought a fake? Ji Ran disguised himself as a customer, came to the man's side, and looked at the box in his hand with interest.
Ji Ran's acting skills were good, the man didn't show Ji Ran's intentions at all, and pretended to be very angry and explained to Ji Ran: "That's right! Originally, I heard that this place has a good reputation, so I came to buy a box of earth crystal sand. At that time, I didn't look at the quality, but when I went out and returned home, I realized that it was almost all sand! Look, can this thing work? I'm out of town and packing a box of sand no worse than this thing! β
The man waved the box in his hand indignantly, so that everyone could see what was inside.
"That's it! That's too much! Even if it's fake, it won't come to this point, it's just sand! Ji Ran looked like he was in line with the man.
The salesman was a little girl about ten years old, and when she heard their words, she almost cried: "It's not like this! The earth crystal sand sold in our store can't be like this! When this person came to buy it, I gave him a qualified earth crystal sand......"
"See for yourself. Is this a qualified earth crystal sand? Could it be that this is the standard for your lead and gold earth crystal sand? What can be made from this kind of thing? Oh yes, sand makes glass, is that what makes glass? β
The man's words made the group behind laugh. And the little girl's appearance was even more like crying.
Ji Ran also helped on the side: "That is, what you are selling is earth crystal sand, not sand!" There are so few soil element particles in the soil crystal sand, how can it be called soil crystal sand? β
A group of people gathered around to denounce the little girl's salesperson. Let the little girl's tears finally fall. And the man was full of ambition and looked proud.
And at this time, from the outside of the store, several people walked in. Seeing this situation, an old man pulled a staff member who was at a loss and asked in a low voice what was wrong.
The staff explained to the old man. Immediately the old man was furious. He immediately stepped forward quickly, about to reprimand the man. But at this time, a bearded guy next to him grabbed him.
"Don't worry...... I think someone wants to teach that guy a lesson...... We'll just watch the play on the sidelines. β
The old man was a little strange, but he looked confident when he saw the bearded man next to him. So he didn't come forward suspiciously, but hid in the corner with the others.
After Ji Ran said a few words to help the man on the side, he suddenly looked at the box: "Hey, big brother, why did you open this box?" If you sue them, you will suffer! β
An imperceptible hint of panic flashed across the man's face, but he quickly calmed down again.
"I'm sure I'll open it when I get back. Who knew it would look like inside! Anyway, I haven't touched the contents of the box, they gave it to me, and I left it untouched! β
Ji Ran nodded: "Big brother, I believe you." They are big stores, and the background forces are stronger than us, so they must be sure that we dare not speak out. But it's useless for us to quarrel with them like that. The box is not proof, but what if they insist that you added the sand inside? β
The man's face was sad and indignant: "Then I can only admit it, and then I will ...... to the whole summer street No. The whole Gransell told me what had happened to them, and let them know that when they come to buy things in this lead and gold, they must be careful of buying fakes! β
Ji Ran nodded fiercely: "Big brother is right." It's okay to be fooled if you suffer a loss, and you can't let others be fooled too! By the way, big brother, when did you have a problem with this earth crystal sand? β
The man didn't care too much about Ji Ran's question, but still looked angry: "Soon after I walked out of the store, I remembered to check the quality of this earth crystal sand, and then immediately opened the box and took a look, and came back immediately." Luckily I came back early, otherwise they wouldn't have admitted it! β
Ji Ran nodded, and then turned his head to look at the little girl who was the salesperson: "What else do you have to say?" That's what the earth crystal sand you sell looks like? Is it the same for the stock ones? β
The little girl wiped her tears with her hands: "Of course not! After saying that, she turned around and opened one from a large pile of cabinets in the back, and then took out a box of earth crystal sand: "This is the goods sold in our store!" β
The box with the appearance of Tujingsha is exactly the same as the man's, and at a glance, you can tell that it is a series of products. And the earth crystal sand taken out by the salesman girl, the crystals inside are shining, and the number of earth element particles is more than half, which is indeed a high-quality qualified earth crystal sand.
