Chapter 201: Losing money
Regarding the crystal city of this world, although Cheng Shi has not been to it, he has always suspected that it may be the remnant of the previous season's civilization on this planet, because this underground world has obvious traces of artificial construction, and the current stage of civilization development here obviously does not have that ability. So the reasons for the degradation of civilization here, as well as the origins of their civilization, are the main directions of his investigation.
After some communication with Giselle, Cheng Shi can now basically determine that the ruins of Crystal City are the former civilization on this planet, but after all, thousands of years have passed, as for whether it is the civilization of the previous season, it is really not certain.
"My lord, I'm afraid I can't answer you, the secret of the circle is the core competitiveness of our Grenor Group in these ownerless universes, I told you this before, but I can tell you that everything I do is just to do what I am told, to be honest, if I came all the way to do your business, the company would have fired me a long time ago. But when it comes to business, you still have to be flexible, so why not do the business that goes by the way? Do you say yes? Although Giselle was very honest in her tone, she looked at Cheng Shi's gaze and body language, which was still full of provocative and seductive, probably an occupational disease, and she couldn't change it for a while.
The other party said it so clearly, so Cheng Shi naturally didn't want to ask anything more. Seeing that everyone had eaten, he got up and looked around, and saw that in addition to two barbecue grills and a few boxes of ingredients, there were some tables and chairs left, and when he was about to ask how to pay, Giselle suddenly took out a small black box from his pocket and put it on the table.
"You still have a mobile POS with you?" Cheng Shi asked, pointing to the small box on the table.
Giselle may not know what a "POS machine" is, but she obviously understood what Cheng Shi meant, so she nodded happily.
Cheng Shi sighed slightly, then took out the information bridge from his pocket and put it on the small box in front of him.
After paying the bill, the group mounted their horses and waved goodbye to Giselle, and then galloped in the direction of Crystal City at full speed.
Yang Yang and North may have found the feeling of riding a horse after hanging on their horses for a while, and now the two of them are basically not afraid of riding on the horse, which saves a lot of trouble for the whole trip, at least there is no need to worry about which guy falls asleep and is lost in the middle of the road.
After more than two hours of galloping, the group arrived at the Paro Market, near Crystal City, which Tony had mentioned.
It is said to be a market, but in fact, there are not a few decent houses in sight, a potholed road is lined with vendors on both sides, at first glance it looks a bit like the market at the entrance of Mizelle Faro on the planet Tana, but the vendors here sell relatively simple items, mainly some small storage crystals, and some simple tools used to dig crystals, most of which are a wooden handle with a small metal head fixed to it. In addition, there are some temporary wooden houses, and most of these houses are running a restaurant business.
"Xiaoqiao, can you scan the energy storage crystal here through my clothes?" Cheng Shi half-squatted in front of a stall selling energy storage crystals, picked up a few crystal stones, and asked the information bridge in the spiritual connection while watching.
"Yes, this car has already made preliminary conclusions, first of all, these are ordinary enchanted crystals. Secondly, through comparative analysis, the car found that the magic reaction of these crystals is basically the same as the ice cubes in the Parro planet elf shelter, considering the complexity of the enchantment technology, the car feels that if it is two completely unrelated races, it is basically impossible to use the exact same enchantment technology, so the car pushes
It is assumed that the sapient race that once lived in the Crystal City may be elves, and they are likely to come from the Planet Parro Sanctuary. ”
Cheng Shi patted his head, and suddenly thought of an important question: "Tony, what race are they?" Haven't we figured it out yet? ”
The car model vibrated with a wave: "That's what you don't know, it doesn't mean that the car doesn't know, Tony They are all half-elves, the offspring of a hybrid between elves and humans, but not only do they have no magical abilities, but they also look weaker than humans, which is a bit unreasonable." ”
Cheng Shi patted his pocket: "Such important information, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
"Do you buy it or not? If you don't buy it, don't rub it in your hands all the time. The stall owner yelled.
Cheng Shi hurriedly put the crystal stone in his hand back on the stall: "I'm sorry, I'll take a look, thank you." ”
"Cheng Shi, have you found anything?" After Barbara saw Cheng Shi get up, she walked over and asked.
Cheng Shi smiled cautiously: "After a while, we will say on the road, let's go, let's go to those stalls that sell tools and have a look." ”
The two of them crouched around the corner in front of a stall selling digging tools.
"They are all very primitive tools, and the metal heads on those tools are made of pig iron, some are made of brass, and some are simply made of iron ore with high iron content." The information bridge said directly in the spiritual connection with Cheng Shi.
Cheng Shi felt that there was nothing to study, so he threw a stone chisel tool in the shape of a hoe back to the stall in his hand.
With a snap, the hoe collided with a trident metal head on the ground, causing the latter to break a fork.
At first, Cheng Shi didn't notice this, and just as he was about to get up and leave, he was grabbed by the stall owner's arm.
"Hey, you can't just leave, you have to pay for breaking something." A stall owner in a blue shirt said unceremoniously.
Cheng Shi looked down, and sure enough, he saw that the metal head of the trident had been damaged: "It's broken if you touch it like this?" Can you use this tool? ”
The blue-clothed stall owner snorted: "Why can't you use it, I'm all of the best grades." ”
When Barbara saw the stall owner's angry face, she immediately became a little angry: "You are a defective product, put it here to slander people, I can tell you, we are not easy to mess with." ”
The blue-clothed stall owner hugged his arms and smiled coldly: "Do you think we are easy to mess with?" As he spoke, he began to beckon his neighbors to cheer him up, and there was a burst of mockery all around.
Barbara stomped her foot, her right hand was eager to summon a lightning ball, and Cheng Shi quickly tugged at her right arm when she saw this, signaling her to calm down.
"What do you want?" Cheng Shi originally wanted to spend some money to settle things, but when he saw that the other party was playing hooliganism, he was really unwilling to swallow his anger for a while.
"Lose money, thirty coins." The blue-clad stall owner said loudly.
Bruce saw that Cheng Shi was in trouble, so he walked over with Rorty.
"Your piece is worth three coins at most, and this is still a defective product, and it can't be sold at all." Bruce reasoned with the stall owner after understanding the situation.
When the blue-clothed stall owner saw the locals who knew the goods, he immediately showed an expression of ignorance: "I naturally have a reason why I sell it so expensive, anyway, he broke it, so he has to pay according to the price." ”
Rorty on the side was obviously angry, only to see her pick up the damaged trident, easily break the other two forks, and then said angrily: "See? Hands can be broken, and it is said that it is not a defective product? ”
"What's wrong with the defective product?" Not to be outdone, the blue-clothed stall owner glared at Roty fiercely, "The defective products are also taken down from above, and the things on it are worth this money." ”
"Wait a minute, you said this tool was taken down from above?" Cheng Shi thought that during the dinner last night, he had eavesdropped on the chat between the two people at the next table, as if the church in this world was very taboo about people saying the above things, so he grabbed the key information and asked.
The blue-clothed stall owner immediately showed some recognition when he heard this, and the stall owners around him who were watching the excitement immediately quieted down.
"I'll just say no, ten coins will always work, right?" The blue-clad stall owner showed weakness.
Cheng Shi patted Bruce on the shoulder and said softly, "Give him ten coins, even if I bought this tool." With that, he walked over to the blue-clad stall owner.
"What do you want to do?" The blue-clothed stall owner looked at Cheng Shi with an angry expression.
Cheng Shi smiled frankly: "Don't be nervous, I just want to make friends with you." ”
"You just stand there and say, I can hear it, why are you so close to me?" The blue-clad stall owner's tone was still very unkind.
"I just want to receive a few tools that really come from above, if you have a channel to help me introduce them, I promise to collect them at a high price." Cheng Shi said as quietly as he could.
Although the blue-clothed stall owner was skeptical, he still didn't want to miss the opportunity to make money, so he leaned over and looked at Cheng Shi suspiciously and asked softly, "Are you really willing to charge a high price?" ”
"Yes, you can see that I'm from out of town, and the things on it are very useful to me." Cheng Shi pretended to be very serious and said, and he looked cautious.
"The one you broke was originally from above," the blue-clothed stall owner said in a low voice, "Our church taboos people talking about the above, although I have channels here to get high-quality goods, but not today, how can I contact you?" How many times are you willing to pay? ”
"You can open the price casually, don't be too outrageous," Cheng Shi said in a particularly reliable tone, "I'm going to go to Crystal City immediately, there are many people here now, it's not convenient to talk in detail, if you are sincere, don't leave at night, just wait for me here, and we'll talk in detail then." ”
The blue-clothed stall owner frowned and thought for a while: "I can wait for you here, but you have to talk about it." ”
Cheng Shi nodded vigorously with a sincere gaze.
Bruce and Rorty didn't know what Cheng Shi and the blue-clothed stall owner were muttering, but they didn't ask much, and after paying the compensation, they followed Cheng Shi out of the stall.
"Landlord, we have bought too many things, hurry up and let the little broken car eat them all." Yang Yang walked towards Cheng Shi with some small enchanted crystals in his hand, while North and Tony followed behind her.
"I just told the two of them that these small pieces of energy storage crystals will turn into ordinary stones in a few times, but they only care about the appearance of the crystals, and they can't stop them." Tony was worried that Cheng Shi would blame him, so he stepped forward and took the initiative to explain.
Cheng Shi looked at Tony, who was a little flustered, and smiled comfortingly: "It's okay, they like to collect stones," he glared at Yang Yang and North, and then took the enchanted crystals from their hands and put them in his pocket with a hula.
Tony couldn't help but look surprised when he saw that Cheng Shi's right trouser pocket was filled with a lot of crystals but didn't bulge, and Bruce and Rorty who were standing behind him were also stunned, and after a while, the crystal stones that Yang Yang and North were holding in their hands and in the pockets of their clothes were easily stuffed into their pants pockets by Cheng Shi, and the three of Tony nodded at the same time.
