Chapter 294: Seventh Elder Zhou Shizhun
Zhou Yinfan's expression was stunned, his face was embarrassed, and the people who were traveling with him turned their heads to look around, as if there was infinite surprise in this small building.
At this moment, Zhou Yinfan suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a cold face:
"Ben Gongzi needs a venue for competition, tell me what you can offer?"
The maid's smile remained unchanged, and she said gently and enthusiastically:
"Here's an introduction to the venues that our martial arts venues can provide. The rented venue is roughly divided into two kinds: one is held in the martial arts square, and the participants in the competition can use it as long as they pay a symbolic maintenance fee of 100 taels of silver per person; the other is a private martial arts secret room, which is divided into nine levels from the smallest to the largest, and each level charges a different fee, and each person who participates in the competition can bring one person into the competition for free, and the other people who want to enter the battle can enter the battle with 1,000 taels of silver each. ”
Zhou Yinfan roughly understood the situation of the venue in this patrol martial arts arena, but still grasped the details and asked:
"What's going on with the Martial Arts Square you're talking about?"
The maid smiled and dimple and explained:
"Martial arts square is a round martial arts arena that can accommodate 3,000 people at the same time, and the people who compete in the martial arts arena accept the viewing of the spectators at the same time, and the winner can get 10% of the ticket cost of all the spectators, and at the same time can participate in the income of the martial arts gambling stalls. ”
Zhou Yinfan quickly understood the situation in this martial arts square, aren't the people who are fighting in the martial arts square just playthings that are watched, as the heir of the family, he is extremely disdainful in his heart.
Besides, who is not an unruly person in the rivers and lakes, who regards his martial arts secret method as his life, how can he perform in front of the public for others to watch, Zhou Yinfan thinks that this so-called martial arts square must only be a good way to go in the end.
With a cold snort, Zhou Yinfan interrupted the maid to continue to explain.
"Needless to say, tell Ben Gongzi directly about the situation in the private martial arts secret room. ”
The maid was not dissatisfied at all because of his disrespectful words, and still said with a smile:
"Okay. The private martial arts chamber is divided into nine levels according to the materials used in the construction, the size of the area, and the services of the secret room, the lowest is the first level, with an area of 100 square meters, and the area increases by 100 square meters for each level, and the highest is the ninth level.
The lowest-level martial arts chamber is charged 1,000 taels of silver for each use, and 500 taels of silver is charged for each person who enters the chamber, and those who participate in the competition are also charged. For each level of the martial arts chamber, the fee increases by 1,000 taels of silver, and the fee for entering the room remains the same. ”
Zhou Yinfan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed:
"In other words, the cost of renting a ninth-level martial arts secret room requires at least nineteen thousand taels of silver?"
The maid replied with a smile:
"Yes, this son. ”
"Just use the place for nearly 20,000 taels of silver, why don't you go and grab it?"
All the women behind the counter looked at Zhou Yinfan with a smile and a word, but what they thought in their hearts was: How can it be so fast to grab money, and it is much safer.
The maid smiled a little toothily and said:
"This boy doesn't know, the walls and the main body of the ground in our martial arts secret room are all watered with green steel stone mixed with iron juice, which is enough to withstand the attack of any innate realm master, the higher the level, the thicker the wall and the ground, the greater the attack strength that can be withheld, and the inner layout is also better, which can meet the needs of all people of the cultivation level to fight in it.
Moreover, the windows and doors of the secret room are designed by everyone who is proficient in the mechanism, and there are only two keys, one is in the hands of the person who rents the secret room, and the other is kept by the owner of our patrol martial arts arena, which can ensure that the people who fight in the secret room will not be disturbed by any outsiders. So, our martial arts arena is worth the price. ”
Zhou Yinfan held his own identity, and Duanmu Wenli was present, although he was dissatisfied with this woman who had lost her face, she barely maintained a calm demeanor.
"Who is your boss, you go and inform him, and say that Zhou Shi, the seventh elder of the Zhou family in Huizhou, wants to borrow a ninth-level martial arts secret room for use. ”
can be arranged here to be responsible for receiving these people with different temperaments and identities, these women are naturally extremely intelligent people, and naturally understand the meaning of Zhou Yinfan's words.
However, that is not possible.
In a blink of an eye, he said to Zhou Yinfan with a happy face:
"It turned out to be the son of the Zhou family in Huizhou, and the little woman had already heard of the strength of the Zhou family, so naturally she would use the ninth-level martial arts secret room. According to the rules set by our boss, Zhou Gongzi can get a piece of martial arts silver order, and all expenses in the inspection arena can be discounted by 20% in the future. If Childe doesn't have any money with him, we can also lend money to Childe here. ”
This is clearly a soft nail, no matter what your identity is in the martial arts arena, everything is about money.
Watching the maid hand over a palm-sized silver token with a soft smile, Zhou Yinfan felt that his face was a little hot.
He really didn't bring any money, after all, who went out and had nothing to do with him with 20,000 taels of silver?!
But in this way, how could Zhou Yinfan, who was arrogant in his heart, be embarrassed to accept the martial arts silver order, he just said with a calm face:
"Who would carry tens of thousands of taels of silver with them?"
The maid still replied politely:
"Zhou Gongzi doesn't have to worry about this problem, as long as Gongzi decides to rent the secret room and sets the date of use, he only needs to sign a rental contract here, and then send the rental fee here within three days, and it is not necessary to pay the rental fee immediately. ”
Zhu Yuanjin, who had already seen enough of the jokes on the sidelines, stood up and said to Zhou Yinfan:
"Brother Zhou, if it is inconvenient to have money, you may as well speak, you and I are friends in trouble, and tens of thousands of taels of silver can still be afforded. ”
Zhu Yuanjin's face was sincere and serious, which made Zhou Yinfan feel a little moved in his heart, but as soon as he raised his eyes and saw Duanmu Wenli standing on the side, this idea was immediately crushed into slag, and he decisively refused:
"Thank you Brother Zhu for your kindness, it's just tens of thousands of taels of silver. ”
After that, he beckoned to the maid and said:
"This son is determined to use a ninth-level martial arts secret room tomorrow, so let's take the contract. ”
"Okay, Childe, wait a minute. ”
The maid took out two standard contracts and an IOU from under the counter, both written in block letters, a total of three pages, which listed all the terms of renting the martial arts room, and naturally included the requirement to pay the rent within three days from the time of signing the contract, and one cent of interest for each day after three days.
That is to say, if Zhou Yinfan did not pay the rent until the fourth day, then he would have to pay an extra 1,800 taels of silver for the rent alone.
Zhou Yinfan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, he really felt that this patrol martial arts arena was a robber's nest.
But he still signed the contract and the IOU, he was not worried that he would not be able to pay the rent, if it was not too far away from Huizhou, otherwise it would only be 20,000 taels of silver, and he could get it with a casual hello.
The two contracts and IOUs were signed and drawn by Zhou Yinfan, and the martial arts arena and Zhou Yinfan each held one copy.
With a smile, the maid politely handed a contract and a piece of silver order to Zhou Yinfan, and said:
"Zhou Gongzi must keep this contract, this contract will be used as a certificate for Gongzi to come tomorrow to obtain the key to the secret room, and the IOU can be taken when Gongzi pays the rent. In addition, this martial arts silver order is the preferential treatment of VIP customers in the martial arts arena, which has many benefits, and the son may wish to accept it first. ”
Zhou Yinfan didn't refuse again, the contract has been signed, and it doesn't hurt to take this silver order again.
Out of the inspection arena, Zhou Yinfan glanced back and sneered:
"Hmph! A mere inspection office dares to bully my Zhou family like this, let's see if you can laugh after tomorrow!"
With that, he strode away.
The old man of the Zhou family, who followed closely, quickly followed Zhou Yinfan, and whispered sideways:
"Second son, do you want the villain to go to our Zhou family's goods store in Yangzhou City to draw silver taels?"
Zhou Yinfan slowed down his walking, extinguished the anger in his heart, and said:
"Well, go ahead, and bring me the IOU when you're done. ”
"Okay, the villain will do it. ”
In the General Inspector's Mansion, Hua Yu listened to the news and muttered:
"The ninth-level secret room, the seventh elder of the Zhou family, Zhou Shizun, the Zhou family is so confident, it seems that this Zhou Shizhun must be extraordinary, and he is the top master in the innate. ”
He frowned slightly, then stretched out again.
Ziling's cultivation strength is at the top of the innate realm, even if it is difficult to win, but it will not be defeated.
Besides, even if you lose, you still have yourself.
Hua Yu finally decided to watch the game in person.
The people of the Zhou family did not know that under the deliberate instruction of Hua Yu, the seven elders of the Zhou family challenged the General Inspection Office and fought in the inspection arena in the southern district of Yangzhou tomorrow, and the news spread quickly throughout Yangzhou.
In the eyes of those who have a heart, there are a lot of ideas.
There are people who think that even the overlord of a state like the Zhou family has complied with the government order issued by the General Inspectorate to prohibit fighting within the scope not allowed by the Inspectorate.
There are also people who know some insiders who think that the General Inspection Office is afraid that it will be unlucky, and the seventh elder of the Zhou family, Zhou Shizhun is the top five masters in the current Zhou family's innate realm.
Before it even began, the battle was already touching.
Naturally, this is also indispensable to the credit of the Haisha Gang, no matter who wins or loses in the Zhou family and the General Inspection Office, the Haisha Gang can take advantage of the fishermen.
The front of the original patrol inspection arena has also become crowded and lively.
