Chapter 577: Contract
The old man didn't expect Tang Ling to come up with such a sentence, in the face of Tang Ling's directness, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed 'hahaha'.
Tang Ling was a little embarrassed by his laughter, and at this time, he was glad that there was a mask that could cover his embarrassed face.
After laughing for a few seconds, the old man stopped, then picked up the cigar that had not yet been completely extinguished on the ashtray made of metal cartridge casings, and held it to his mouth.
"Boy, if you can't afford it, you don't have to tell me, you can find an excuse to leave." As he spoke, thick smoke came out of the old man's nose and sprayed onto Tang Ling's mask.
Tang Ling didn't care about the old man's impolite behavior, and he couldn't care about it, because he caught a glimpse of this sloppy-looking old man, and there were five purple spots in his palm.
"Because I need these weapons." After blowing away the smoke, Tang Ling simply pulled over a stool and sat in front of the old man.
Anyway, the hardest thing to say had already been said, and he completely relaxed, relaxed enough to bounce the bottom half of the mask, and then took out a cigarette and lit it as well.
I'm afraid that any merchant will be speechless when they hear Tang Ling's words, right?
The old man was not angry, he just looked at Tang Ling and said, "I also need money." Are you kidding me? ”
"You pulled me in." Tang Ling said.
Indeed, in so many people coming and going, it was this old man who pulled Tang Ling in, don't say that Tang Ling is anything special, everyone is wearing cloaks and masks, and they look similar.
This sentence was obviously very useful, and as soon as the words fell, the old man narrowed his eyes, looked at Tang Ling deeply, and said after a while: "And then?" I pull you in and you can get so much stuff for free? Do you think I look like a philanthropist? ”
He doesn't look like a charity, but he looks like an old man.
Tang Ling muttered in his heart, but it was impossible to say such a sentence, he just said, "No, boss." I've never said I want to get these things for free, and I'm even willing to pay more than 870,000 Zhengjing coins to get them. If you want to. ”
"Hehe, of course I'd like my weapon to sell for a good price. But you can't even pay now, what big words are you talking to me? The old man waved his hand impatiently, and then picked up the big teapot by the counter and drank the water.
"I'm not bragging. Before I tell you why I'm not bragging, I want to ask you a question. Tang Ling tilted his head.
"You ask." The old man put down the teapot.
"Why are you pulling me in? I see, with the strength of your store, there is no need to solicit customers at all. Suppose you are afraid that your store is in a remote location, so you have to come out to solicit customers, then any target is fine, and your warehouse can completely conquer them. ”
"But you seem to have identified me. Because you said I've been walking around almost twice, and you've been watching me. ”
The old man didn't speak, and looked at Tang Ling deeply again.
Tang Ling looked very patient, and didn't speak, just smoked a cigarette and waited for the old man's answer.
It was like a tug-of-war, and in the end, the old man couldn't hold it back, grabbed Tang Ling, and said a little viciously: "Even if I don't tell you why?" What can you do to me? I'm running out of patience now, I'm going to throw you out. ”
"No, everyone has their own secrets, and I don't mean to get to the bottom of it." Tang Ling's hand rested on the old man's hand, preventing him from planning to throw himself out.
"I just thought I was valuable to you, so you pulled me in. So, why don't you let me play my value compared to money? ”
The old man frowned, then smiled, he directly threw Tang Ling on the chair, and said, "Okay, what value do you want to play?" ”
"You should not ask this, but I should ask you, what do you need to have these weapons other than money? My sincerity has been shown before, that is, I am willing to pay a greater price than 870,000 Zhengjing coins. That means I can do a lot of things for you. Tang Ling was very calm and indifferent.
The old man was silent for a second, and suddenly sighed: "Smart boy." ”
"That's what people say about me." Tang Ling is also not modest.
"What I want is simple, and has to do with my cute, poor girl." The words have already been said to this point, and the old man doesn't want to beat around the bush.
In fact, he has his own regular customers, Tang Ling has no judgment on this point, he doesn't have to come out to do business at all.
Even with the quality of his weapons, he will only dislike that the business is too good, and doing business depends entirely on his own mood, and the customers love to buy it or not.
He pulled Tang Ling in on purpose, as for why he deliberately pulled Tang Ling, it was indeed the old man's secret, but he never planned anything? He only discovered Tang Ling's existence.
After thinking about it, he still decided to contact Tang Ling once and bet on a possibility.
He even thought that he was willing to pay some price for this possibility, such as the weapons he made.
But he never thought that Tang Ling, this kid, would unceremoniously select so many high-quality products when he came in.
The old man is indeed wealthy, but he is not rich enough to throw away 870,000 Zhengjing coins casually.
Although he is also willing to pay this price for the girl, the premise is definitely on the basis of the facts that have been affirmed, not a bet on a possibility.
Of course, he was still willing to bet on this possibility. But the price is not 870,000 Zhengjing coins, he can give Tang Ling cheaper, and he is ready to bargain with Tang Ling.
What he didn't expect was that Tang Ling, this kid, was so direct and so smart, but he took the initiative to bring the topic to this point, since this is the case, of course the old man has no need to hide it.
Anyway, the goods are in his hands, he wants to see how Tang Ling convinces him?
Tang Ling breathed a sigh of relief when he said that the price was about the girl. In any case, the girl is only a quasi-Purple Moon Warrior, so no matter how difficult the old man's request is, it is only a request for a quasi-Purple Moon Warrior, which should be within the scope of what he can do.
"Why don't you ask what the conditions are?" The old man hated Tang Ling's confident appearance.
"Your request doesn't change just because I asked." Tang Ling muttered, pinched out his cigarette, and suddenly looked at the old man: "Is there any wine?" That can make us talk a little more relaxed. If you mind, I'll pay for the drink. ”
MD, the old man has an urge to burst into foul language, who did this kid learn from, such a shameless painting style?
However, he didn't want to be too stingy, so he took out two bottles of beer from a dilapidated refrigerator in the corner, put down one bottle heavily in front of Tang Ling, and then said sullenly: "A bottle of wine, Lao Tzu can afford it." ”
Tang Ling smiled happily, directly bit the cap of the bottle with his teeth, and poured himself a sip of wine, this cold wine entered his throat, and seemed to extinguish all the embarrassment just now.
The old man looked at it with hatred, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with Tang Ling anymore: "I want four things, the moonlight ghost fish, the four colors and the mutated sea pearls above the four colors." Finally, a seven-lotus lotus. If you have a better one than the Seven Lotus Lotus, I am willing to make up the difference. You can choose the weapon or Zhengjing coin. ”
When Tang Ling heard this, his heart became even more relaxed, in fact, he shouldn't have expected it a long time ago? The things that the old man wants can't escape the advanced things of the Purple Moon Warrior, because the girl needs it.
Plus, it's resource season again.
But in the end, these things are completely worth the value of these weapons.
First of all, the Moonlight Netherfish, even if it is the best color, is only 50,000 Zhengjing coins, and the mutated sea pearls with more than four colors can barely be counted as 10,000 Zhengjing coins. In the end, the value of the Seven Lotus Lotus is the highest, even if it is an ordinary Seven Lotus Lotus, it will cost more than 100,000 Zhengjing coins, but the total is less than a quarter of these weapons.
So what's the last thing that's hard? Tang Ling frowned.
But the old man took a sip of wine at this time and continued: "Moonlight Nether Fish, I want more than five. There is no need to talk about it under five. I want ten sea pearls above four colors, and I don't have to talk about less than ten. As for the Seven Lotus Lotus, I want two. ”
Tang Ling was stunned.
What's going on? Wholesale? But the funny thing is that the promotion resources of the Purple Moon Warriors are not that the more you need, the cheaper the price, but the more you have, the more expensive the price.
How so? Just like the Starlight Netherfish, it can make a quasi-Purple Moon warrior feel the universe more for a certain period of time.
But please note that it is within a certain amount of time! That's barely enough time for a very small number of people, but it's not enough for the majority!
If you want a quasi-Purple Moon Warrior to be absolutely guaranteed to be promoted, you need more than three Starlight Nether Fish.
But the Starlight Netherfish in groups of three can be sold more expensive than a single one! Some people will say, in this case, I can always make up enough three when I buy one by one, right? That was definitely a dream.
After all, it is still a scarce resource, the kind that can be sold separately, it is very accidental to flow out, and the color is generally not good, you don't want to buy more at all, it is difficult for you to meet such a fishmonger who sells fish in a piecemeal, if they can, they also want to desperately make up more than three extremely three....
If it really doesn't work, it will be sold alone, just like chicken ribs, and it is a pity to discard it if it is tasteless. The price will be relatively cheap.
The number that the old man wants is definitely greater than the number that can definitely be promoted, and Tang Ling began to settle the score.
"Five moonlight nether fish with the best color, I count them as 350,000 Zhengjing coins, isn't it too much?"
"Reasonable."
"More than ten four-colored sea pearls, regardless of the color, I count it as 150,000 Zhengjing coins, this price is not boring, right?"
"It's a perfect fit."
"Two Seven Lotus Lotus, I count it as 280,000 Zhengjing coins, very conscientious, right?"
"Very conscientious."
"Regardless of finding a better Holly markup. These things are counted as 780,000 Zhengjing coins. And what about the last thing? Tang Ling asked directly.
In fact, Tang Ling was very frightened.
I didn't expect so many resources that people dream of, and the amount of batches is only so much Zhengjing coins, and the old man's weapons cost 870,000 Zhengjing coins.
There's no way around that. No matter how scarce the promotion resources are, they are only for quasi-Purple Moon warriors, and these weapons selected by Tang Ling can kill Purple Moon Warriors of the second order and above!
Although this kind of thing has something to do with the innate ability of the third-order Purple Moon Warrior, I heard that it is more than twenty.
As for the Sunlight Nether Fish, Tang Ling hadn't thought about it! But the argument is that the upper-level Purple Moon Warriors need them, and the more they are, the higher the price....
The price difference is so cruel, everything revolves around the strength of human beings as a measure.
Tang Ling felt that he was very poor, and he was about to go crazy with poverty! He even felt that he should make a sun, moon and starlight Jiao to sell it for money?
This idea was crazy and funny, and the old man couldn't know that Tang Ling was so crazy in his heart at this time, but after Tang Ling asked what the last thing was, he directly stood up and turned around and walked into the back room.
After about two minutes, the old man took a bottle and walked out, and put it in front of Tang Ling with a 'bang'.
"I want this liquid, the more the better. I can count one or two for you as 5,000 Zhengjing coins, and I will buy as much as you can get. ”
The bottle that the old man brought was transparent, and it contained a blood-red liquid, which looked like blood, but in fact it could still be seen to be a red liquid.
When he saw this liquid, Tang Ling's heart beat violently, and Xiao Chong also had a slight reaction.
"I'm so sorry for you, dear, dear, dear three brothers of the Bloody Scissors! If you can, in the next life, please turn into cute little animals, I promise to kiss you and feed you to your heart's content. Plants can also be used, such as the Sour Nil Tata. ”
Tang Ling's inner activities are like this, but if the dead Babunu and Manto brothers know, they will probably be angry and come back to life.
Even with such excitement in his heart, Tang Ling's expression did not change at all, but instead expressed doubt: "What kind of liquid is this?" I don't think I've seen it, so you can at least tell me about the specific characteristics, right? ”
Yes, the three Bloodshear brothers did mention an island with a blood-colored lake.
Tang Ling was also bold enough to guess that the liquid in the blood-colored lake was the liquid that the old man needed.
But this is just speculation after all, what if it's just a similar liquid? It's better to ask for this kind of thing.
Tang Ling suppressed his excitement and waited for the old man's answer.
"It's normal that you haven't seen this liquid. Because it is rare, there are naturally very few people who have seen it and know about it. At its most perfect state, it is no different from blood, and is called the tears of the sea god. This bottle of mine can't be called the Tears of the Poseidon, it can only be called the Gift of the Poseidon, and the concentration is only about one percent of the Poseidon Tears. ”
Tang Ling silently memorized these two names, and then the old man continued: "They don't have any obvious characteristics except for being like blood. Even if they are not used correctly, they do not reflect their usefulness at all. However, this thing is the only way to confirm them. ”
As he spoke, the old man took out a piece of golden paper and put it in front of Tang Ling.
"It's a special kind of test strip. No liquid can change it in the slightest, only the Tears of the Sea God or the Poseidon's Gift will make it react. Well, it will change color and turn blue. As he spoke, the old man took a small spoon, which was smaller than an ear pick, and then painedly and stingily scooped out a little liquid from the bottle and put it on the test strip.
Sure enough, the test strip turned a pale blue.
"The higher the concentration, the darker the blue color it reacts with. If it is the Tears of the Sea God, it will turn pure sky blue, as beautiful as the sky. As long as it is not sky blue, even if it is like blood, no matter how gorgeous the blue it reflects, it cannot be called the tears of the sea god, but can only be called the gift of the sea god. Speaking of this, the old man looked at Tang Ling mockingly: "I'm old, and I talk too much." You can't get the tears of the sea god, and I guess the gift of the sea god is also for you..."
The old man wanted to say that it was an impossible task, but Tang Ling grabbed the golden paper and put it into his arms.
"I remember, maybe I'll get you a ten-pound one. When the time comes, let's calculate the price. ”
The old man was so angry that he almost fainted, he didn't say a word, pulled Tang Ling over, and took out the test strip from his arms: "This is also very expensive, one is 10,000 Zhengjing coins." Also, Lao Tzu hates braggarts. ”
Tang Ling pressed the old man's hand holding the golden test strip, and his tone suddenly became serious: "If you don't give me this, what should I do if I really meet the gift of the sea god in the future?" ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that Tang Ling's aura on his body became inexplicably different when he became serious, but when he thought of Tang Ling's life experience, he was suddenly relieved again.
His son, it's always a little different, right?
With it, the old man thought of one miracle after another created by Tang Ling, and his expression became a little looser.
He swept Tang Ling's hand away and tore out a golden test paper for Tang Ling: "You have met, so much is enough, even if you meet a lake with so many gifts from the sea god, it is enough to try once." ”
Tang Ling lowered his head, and took the test paper handed over by the old man with a somewhat strange expression, he knew that the old man was just ridiculing, but he was really willing to meet the gift of the sea god in a lake.
Putting the test strip into his arms, Tang Ling said very happily: "One or two or five thousand Zhengjing coins, I don't know if this price is fair." But I believe that you are a person, and you will not cheat me. So in this way, I only need to get you a gift of eighteen taels of sea gods, and we will settle the account? ”
"You don't have to talk nonsense in front of you." The old man replied angrily, he had already lost his temper by Tang Ling's cheapness.
"That's good. Leave the weapons to me, such a big business, don't mind helping me install those group weapons for free, right? As he spoke, Tang Ling took the list that the girl had written before, and pointed to the weapon on it in front of the old man: "Just like this, like this..."
"I won't worry about you installing this kind of thing..."The old man didn't finish speaking, and suddenly raised his head to look at Tang Ling: "You're going to take away the weapon?" ”
"yes, what's the problem?" Tang Ling looked innocent.
"Are you sure you're not talking crazy to me?" The old man's teeth were already clenched.
"Of course, we just got the score." Tang Ling couldn't wait to take off his mask and let the old man see how innocent and sincere he was.
The old man stopped talking, grabbed Tang Ling, walked to the door, and was about to throw Tang Ling out of the store.
At this time, Tang Ling freed up a hand to grasp the door frame tightly, and said very solemnly and firmly: "These things can't be taken out now, you just bet on a possibility, how can you be sure that I can't do it?" ”
The old man hesitated a little and said, "But do you think I look like a fool?" Let you be here with empty gloves white wolf? ”
"Actually, I'm not greedy, you have better things in the warehouse, and there are a lot of them, not what I need, I didn't take more at all, did I? Now that the weapon is handed over to me, I will be more sure. I would also like to pay a deposit if I could, but every penny I make increases my certainty of success. What would you do if you were me? The old man's strength was too great, and Tang Ling's hand grasping the metal door frame almost deformed the door frame.
The old man's strength was a little less.
"You came to me and talked to me so much. You must, there must be a reason for yourself! If you're not sure about me at all, you don't have to talk nonsense. As he spoke, Tang Ling let go of the hand that was holding the door frame again, and then ripped off his mask.
"Stop playing guessing games, you must know that, right? I know I'm Tang Ling. ”
The old man let go of Tang Ling, but blocked the door, and did not mean to let Tang Ling in, this kid is a little scary smart, and it is even more of a headache than his old son Tang Feng.
"Is there any way? If you're afraid I'll run away, there's always a way for us to break the contract, right? Tang Ling said tentatively.
The old man rolled his eyes and looked at Tang Ling: "Do you think this is the magic world?" Do you want to sign a contract of life and death?! ”
"I'm willing to make a pact with you." Tang Ling said this, he had no way to convince the old man of his credibility, but he had to fight. If he really can't, he can only pay the deposit and put it here, but he needs money to make himself stronger!
Unexpectedly, his words made the old man suddenly silent, and after thinking for a long time, the old man said: "It's not impossible to sign a contract. But you have to leave your most precious things, at least three. ”
Tang Ling raised his head sharply and clenched his fists suddenly.
"How?" The old man raised his eyebrows.
How to choose? Tang Ling's mind was chaotic all of a sudden, he had always been a decisive person, but he was extremely hesitant at this time.
The old man didn't urge Tang Ling, he had an understanding of Tang Feng. If Tang Ling is his son, what they value must be something that cannot be given up in their bones and souls, even if they don't kill them, they will definitely get it back.
Thinking of this, the old man remembered some past events and sighed faintly in his heart. No matter how good and invincible a person is, there is something critical, such as Tang Feng, and the kid in front of him who is bound to rise - Tang Ling.
If it was uncertain before, now the old man is 100% sure.
"I'll sign it." After thinking about it for about half a minute, Tang Ling finally made up his mind.
"Then come in." The old man finally got out of the way and let Tang Ling into the house.
**
The two contracts were quickly placed on the table, and Tang Ling's name was solemnly signed on them, as well as Tang Ling's handprint.
The old man also pressed his handprint on it and signed his name - Wu Fan.
Tang Ling took the contract and asked with a little doubt: "This is your real name?" ”
"Hehe, you're here in Sochi. Speaking of martial arts fans, everyone knows it's me! No one would dare to use the same name as me. The old man replied with a smile, and the tone was like Tang Ling's question was very redundant.
"Okay." Tang Ling put away the contract very carefully.
Then he solemnly glanced at Wu Lao, took a deep breath, and then first took off his necklace from his neck and placed it in front of Wu Lao.
Martial arts fans looked at this necklace and felt a little inexplicable, a chain made of A-grade alloy, but the pendant turned out to be just a Zhengjing coin.
Then, Tang Ling took off the small leather bag he was carrying, and took out a palm-sized jar from it, the outer body of this jar was made of S-grade alloy, Tang Ling opened the shell, and inside was an ordinary jar of clay.
In the end, Tang Ling's hands trembled a little and took out a neatly folded cloth that was only the size of a square from his leather bag, and when it was unfolded, it was a blood-stained, roughly sewn tattered skirt.
These things seem very funny, and martial arts fans felt inexplicable at first, but now, they have become more serious, and asked directly: "What are these?" ”
"This is a Zhengjing coin, which was left to me by my sleeping uncle. His name is Su Xiao, if you know that I am Tang Ling, then you can inquire about something. Tang Ling's fingers rubbed over the Zhengjing coin.
The old man's face changed slightly, and then he picked up his cigar and took a puff as if nothing had happened.
"This is my mother-in-law's ashes. Please be sure to take care of it. Although Tang Ling's tone was calm, behind this calm tone, there was a force that people had to face up, and people didn't dare to treat it carelessly.
"Finally, this is the dress that my sister left behind. I only have this, not even ashes, and I can't miss this thing. Tang Ling looked up at the martial arts fan.
Wu fans originally wanted to say, you these things, what do you think I will do with them? I don't know why the words came to my lips, but they became: "I will keep them well and put them in the safest place." The premise is that you have to come here at the time the contract says. ”
"Don't worry, this contract will not be broken even if I die." Tang Ling's tone was still calm, just like talking about something as ordinary as eating and drinking.
But at this time, no one dared to doubt the authenticity of Tang Ling's words.
Looking at Tang Ling, martial arts fans suddenly felt that they were too much? But when his eyes fell on the Zhengjing coin, his heart was calm again, and everything was for the girl.
Having said that, the martial arts fan asked inexplicably: "You won't hold a grudge against me because I asked you to mortgage the most precious thing, right?" ”
"I'm not that stingy. You just save it for me. Besides, I'm reasonable, it's as it should be. Tang Ling suddenly smiled, very sincerely.
Stinky boy.
The martial arts fan scolded in his heart, and suddenly had a lot of good feelings for Tang Ling.
"That's how it was decided, right? I've already told you which one my ship is, and your installation won't be blocked, right? Tang Ling changed the subject.
"Nonsense, I'm very experienced, don't worry." The martial arts fan waved his hand impatiently.
"This matter should be kept absolutely confidential." Tang Ling became solemn again.
"Don't worry, no one will know about it. I still have the means to do that. "Martial arts fans are even more impatient.
"Then I'm leaving." Time was pressing, and Tang Ling felt that there was nothing to say.
Walking to the door, Tang Ling suddenly stopped and looked at the old man again.
"That, is the girl's name Su Lu?"
"Is that what you called? What Sulu? The old man raised his head, looking at Tang Ling a little angrily and a little inexplicably, his expression was very natural, and there was no element of acting.
"Then you can't just call a girl, right? Say sorry to her for me. Tang Ling shrugged.
"Her name is Chenning, next time you bring the things stipulated in the contract, come and apologize to her in person." The old man bowed his head as he spoke, and began to carve his metal engraving again.
"I said, there is no such coincidence in the world. Uncle Su Xiao's rugged appearance can't give birth to such a delicate daughter. Tang Ling muttered in his heart, lifted the curtain and left, he was only slightly suspicious, but he was definitely not a person who believed in dog blood.
Obviously, Chenning's scar did not affect Tang Ling's judgment of her appearance, after all, the precise instinct made Tang Ling a person who put aside the appearance and looked at the essence.
In addition, Tang Ling's appearance sounded in his head, and he couldn't help but start imagining what Su Xiao's appearance would look like if he was a woman?
The patchwork results gave Tang Ling several goosebumps, and he decided to stop this masochistic behavior.
But don't they all say that daughters are like fathers? Tang Ling had goosebumps on his body again.
**
The weapon that originally cost the most money in the plan didn't cost a penny, and Tang Ling suddenly felt that he was much calmer.
What will the rest of the money be used for? The answer is yes, that's still spending nothing here.
At this time, Tang Ling had already come to the resource area, and the resource area of the Sochi black market was still very carefully divided.
This primitive shop is a place where the bones of all kinds of fierce beasts are sold.
Tang Ling began to choose the bones that were suitable for use, in fact, according to the 'urine nature' of the small species, it was not picky at all, as long as it was the bones of a fierce beast, even if it was a ninth-level one, it could swallow it, and it was definitely not afraid of being strangled to death.
But Tang Ling's financial resources were limited, so he could only choose the most cost-effective fierce beast bones that could be transformed into combat effectiveness in large quantities at this stage.
Regarding this point, Tang Ling has the answer in his heart.
At this stage, the most cost-effective is naturally the fourth-level or so fierce beast bones, and as long as the most active and the most essential part, this can save a lot of time.
With the set goal, Tang Ling still has plenty of patience, he needs the best price to be called a cost-effective purchase.
In addition, Tang Ling should also pay attention to the issue of confidentiality.
After spending four hours, Tang Ling spent 200,000 Zhengjing coins here to buy the bones he needed.
However, this was a boring purchase, and Tang Ling felt that there was no chance, as if he had not taken advantage of it.
