“……”

“……”

The two looked at each other in silence for almost half a minute, and the black and thin young man finally raised his hand and scratched his head. "Why, you can't accept my price? Really, don't suspect that I'm going to lie to you or something, or you can turn me down now, and then go to Drow City and ask around, and see if there's anyone who offers less than me. ”

"Everybody knows I'm the fairest businessman." The young man looked at her, "If you refuse me to move forward now, you will only encounter more and more outrageous bids, you have to think clearly." ”

"I'll ask first." Qiu Xuan said, "Do you only sell wine here, and what else are you selling?" ”

"Of course, it's not just wine." As if to see that she was shaken, the thin black young man began to talk again, "As long as you want food, I can provide it, provided that you can afford the price." But you ...... now. I guess I'll have to buy wine and oil, because I think you're coming from the 'beam', and you don't have any money on you to trade with me for food. ”

Beams, which he called the arch field "beams".

Qiu Xuan thought for a while, "So the price of this place is currently, can a glass of blood buy a bottle of wine?" ”

"As I said, this is my list price." The young man named Barrens did not miss any opportunity to promote himself, "If you refuse me, then the merchants you meet in the future will outrageously bid much more than me." ”

Qiu Xuan: "Do you have to have your own blood?" ”

Barrens looked down at her, a smile on his tanned skin. "As long as the final thing that gets me is the standard of 'a cup of blood', as for what happened in between...... It doesn't matter, does it? ”

Ooh.

Qiu Xuan also looked up at him, "I just got off the competition, so I don't need a food source for the time being, but I will come to you if I need it in the future." ”

"Of course it couldn't be better!" The young man named Barrens smiled and his eyes narrowed, "If you want to find me, you can come to the Drow Bazaar." Remember, I went in at the east entrance and turned left through the second fork and then turned right, which was easy to find! ”

Qiu Xuan: "Oh. ”

"Goodbye then! Looking forward to seeing you again next time! ”

"Barrons." Qiu Xuan stopped him, "How much wheat can you buy with a penny of silver here?" ”

The black and thin young man paused for a moment when he left, and then he quickly turned his head and smiled with a mouthful of white teeth.

"A penny buys a liqu of wheat, and a penny buys three likels of barley." He said, "Guest, in this place, only this price tag cannot be changed. ”

"Yes."

"That's right, then I'm really leaving this time, if you want to buy something, you must remember to come to me!"

……

Oh yes.

Drow City, Bazaar.

After asking for directions, Qiu Xuan specially chose the west entrance in the opposite direction to enter the market. Although she was skeptical of the so-called fairest businessman from the beginning, it would be embarrassing if she was really bumped into trading with other businessmen in the next second.

Qiu Xuan looked expressionlessly at the lonely stall owner sitting in front of the empty stall in front of him, "How can you sell a liter of wheat?" ”

"A hundred pieces of silver." The tired stall owner didn't even look at it, but yawned at the empty stall in front of him. "If you don't have any money, get out."

A hundred pieces of silver???

I don't know what the concept of price is in this place, but it's a bit of an exaggeration to increase it by a hundred times.

And that Barrens said that only this list price cannot be changed, and he was really lying.

Qiu Xuan controlled her facial expression, "Don't you think you're outrageous?" ”

"Is it good to figure out who is the one who has the goods in your hands, and who are you?" The stall owner finally looked up at her impatiently, paused for two seconds, and looked up and down again. "Well, you sleep with me all night, and I'll give you half a liter of wheat."

So the price of goods is that she is worth fifty cents of silver.

Qiu Xuan rolled her eyes at him frantically, and then stepped in front of the next stall. One of the biggest features of the market here is that none of the stall owners will put the real goods on the stalls in front of them, and the only things that are displayed on the surface are some handicrafts or utensils and tools, but anything that is on the side of food or water will not be clearly displayed on the stalls.

"How much is a litre of wheat?"

Qiu Xuan looked down at the other stall owner, and the man who was sitting in front of the stall gnawing his nails lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, and said, "Don't you see that I sell daily necessities, if I had wheat, I would have eaten it myself, and I would still use the stall now to exchange it with others?" ”

He bit down on his fingernail with his teeth, then moved his cheeks twice, chewed it, chewed it, and swallowed it directly.

Qiu Xuan looked at him for a while, then squatted down and pretended to look at his daily necessities on the surface, and asked casually, "Then do you know which nearby sells things cheaper?" ”

To be honest, what he put out for sale was a pile of rags.

It's so tattered that even Qiu Xuan's accompanying space, which is specially used to collect rags, is not willing to fit it in. Then the stall owner seemed to really think that she would buy it for some other reason, and said: "If you don't have money, you can go to Limbug to apply, he has been looking for short-term workers recently." By the way, the secret treasure in your hand, the old Warring States period footcloth, is my family's heirloom, and I will charge you twenty yuan if you are destined. ”

Qiu Xuan: "Farewell." ”

"Hey, why don't you buy it when you like it? Alas, do the math, ten dollars, ten dollars will always work, it's already the lowest price, it's cut in half! …… Tsk, five dollars, can't be lower! Hey, five dollars, I'm really going to be angry if you want to catch me like this again! ”

It seems that the main currency used for trading in this place, called Drow City, is silver.

Food can be exchanged for money, but there is no official source of food. The only way to get it is through trading with other freelance traders who have the goods in their hands, and the price is based on the mood of the other party.

As for the businessman named Lin Buge, who is now recruiting short-term workers, Qiu Xuan thinks he can still give it a try.

She wandered around the labyrinthine drow bazaar for about half an hour, and finally found the merchant named Limbug under the impatient face of being asked for directions.

It was an extremely short middle-aged man, who at first glance looked like a young child from behind, but when he looked back, a slick beard showed that it was not the case at all.

When Qiu Xuan found him, he was standing on a chair and talking to the person opposite, although even so, his height still had to look up at the person opposite, but in terms of momentum, the person who was scolded never replied despite his ugly face.

"It's not your fault, just tell me that." There was a slick smell of accident in Limbug's voice, which also did not match his body shape. "I kindly offered you a job opportunity, but within a few days of taking office, you did it to other guests, and now the other party is asking you for compensation, which is a very reasonable thing."

“…… He was the one who provoked first! Qiu Xuan fixed his eyes and saw that the person who was standing and being trained turned out to be a fellow executioner. Please, who can bear it in that situation, you will be angry if it were you! ”

Limbegg lifted his loose, wrinkled eyelids and glanced at him.

"No, I'm not going to be angry, because being angry is getting along with money."

The man laughed absurdly and briefly, shook his head and stopped talking. Then he stood and waited for a while, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Okay, I won't do it, and you don't have to pay me today's salary." I won't pay compensation, you go and tell that person, let him send someone to kill me if he has a kind, I see who died when I see it. ”

As if he hadn't heard his cruel words, the diminutive man turned around and took out an empty cup, stepped on the chair and handed it to him.

Man: "Why?" ”

Limbug: "You spit in. ”

Man: "? What the hell are you going to do? ”

Immediately Limbug took the cup in his hand again, shook the bottom of the cup with a little weight twice, and then poured it into his mouth with his head tilted without changing his face.

Man: "?!! ”

"Young man," Limbug swallowed, wiping the corners of his mouth as if nothing had happened. "I just want to tell you that just because you can't do it yourself doesn't mean that others can't do it either. I won't be angry because I won't get along with money. ”

"If you want to go, you can go," he said. "Then everything after you has nothing to do with me."

"Are you sick...... the man looked at the unchanging Linbug several times in disbelief, then shook his head and walked away. Until his figure disappeared into the corner market, Limbegg's short knuckles tapped twice on the wall, and two people wrapped in black robes suddenly appeared in the chaotic market.

"Tie him up to Master Jima, and then explain his intentions and make it clear that this is Lin Buge's sincerity in making amends, and then he will definitely visit him to make amends in person."

The two black-robed men nodded their heads in an imperceptible arc, and disappeared from view in an instant.

"Young man." Limbegg jumped down from his chair, took out a brand new wine glass from somewhere, poured it, and sat down on the chair and rinsed his mouth with the wine.

Gargle.

In this world where food, water and supplies are extremely scarce, he is actually rinsing his mouth with wine.

"Did you come to me for something?"

When he said this, his eyes did not look at Qiu Xuan's position, but he turned the wine glass in his hand and looked sure that the comer would take the initiative to speak. Qiu Xuan thought about it and walked over and said, "Find a job." ”

"Oh, you want me to offer you a job."

"I heard you're looking for short-term workers."

"This rumor is true." Limbegg put down his glass and finally raised his eyes to look at her. "Let's talk about your talent first."

Qiu Xuan: "......"

Qiu Xuan: "I will step on the light bulb under my feet." ”

Limbug: "Get out." ”

"I don't know what kind of talent you're referring to?" Qiu Xuan tried to save, "Well, what work can be offered to me on your side now, I should be able to do most of it." ”

"Really?" Lin Buge was noncommittal, he didn't seem to care at all that the previous scene was seen by a stranger, and he took another sip of his wine glass, and said, "Will it kill people?" ”

Qiu Xuan: "It depends. ”

Limbug glanced at her.

"It depends on the situation, which means that it will." He finally put down his glass, and there he was talking to himself, deciding something. "If you do, it's easy to do...... So, as you saw earlier, there is a shortage of dancers at Lady Gimma's place - you don't have to dance, you can perform...... Step on the bottom of your foot on a light bulb? In short, if you can survive the day without being kicked out, you can replace the previous person in this job. ”

Qiu Xuan: "What does that have to do with killing?" ”

Limbug gave her a meaningful look.

He didn't answer the question directly, "You can report today, it's still early, if you can make it until tomorrow, you will be successful." Then the next salary is paid daily, three dollars a day, which is a fairly high-paying job, of course, provided that you can hold on. ”

Three dollars a day is a fairly high-paying job here.

Since stepping into this so-called Drow City, the price tags presented are all imaginative, as if as long as you are happy, everyone can mark the price according to their mood. Later, Qiu Xuan learned that at least the Lin Buge in front of her did not lie to her, and three dollars a day was indeed a high salary that most people would not like. In Drow, the average commoner earns half a penny to a penny a day, and that price is probably only a liter of wheat from Bruns.

This litre of wheat is not something that everyone can afford every day. Because there is often one person in a family who has a daily income is very remarkable, and this person's salary for a day is half a dollar, even if he saves two days for three liters of barley without changing wheat, it is by no means enough to meet the average food intake standard for a family.

Thinking of this, Qiu Xuan suddenly asked Lin Buge, "Do you know a merchant named Bruns?" It's a dark and thin young man, what is his origin? ”

What is it that makes it possible to sell food at a fixed price in such a world of indiscriminate pricing, and to dare to provide a source of food in such a world?

Limbug shook his head, "I don't know. ”

It's also possible that he doesn't want to tell himself.

Qiu Xuan answered in his throat, turned around and walked towards the location of Jima's house that he had provided.
