Chapter 5: Who Tricked Who?
“50! I can get up to 50 gold. When the fat man heard this, he really thought about it calmly, and then gave an answer affirmatively.
It can be seen that this is the result of his careful consideration, and it should be the limit of his ability.
50 gold?
Is it a lot? A lot!
The second uncle's annual salary is only 36 silver coins, and these 50 gold coins are equivalent to 5,000 silver coins, is it equivalent to the second uncle's full-time work for about 140 years without getting sick, asking for leave, eating or drinking?
Sweat! Although the life span of the people of the Tianyun Continent is much higher than that of the earthlings, ordinary people will enter the old age period when they are seventy or eighty years old, so who can work for so long?
The second uncle has physical problems, and of course it is impossible for him to work like this for a long time......
However, Lao Tzu got 50 gold coins for this brick, if the second uncle knew about it, what would he think?
Thinking of this, although Lin Xiaofan was silent on the surface, he couldn't help but shake his head, and his heart blossomed.
The fat man was very nervous, paying attention to Lin Xiaofan's every move all the time, this gentle, almost imperceptible shaking his head, but he saw it in his eyes, his heart sank, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly said: "I-I-I can only get 10 more gold coins at most, and if you have more, you will - you - you - you will - if you don't want money, you will die!" ”
Although the fat man had been weakened by Lin Xiaofan's bricks, the last sentence was quite imposing.
If there was no "surrender" in front, maybe Lao Tzu might still be a character, as for now-hehehe......
Having said that, did Lao Tzu say that it was too little? Why did you add another 10 gold?
Lin Xiaofan was depressed, he wanted to bargain with the fat man before, but the fat man looked confused, now he wants to do it casually, solve the matter as soon as possible so that he can sleep, but the fat man's bargaining strength actually came up, this thing made - did he trick the fat man, or did the fat man trick himself?
"Is there any way you can get the 10 gold?"
Originally, Lin Xiaofan just planned to collect money, no matter how he got the money. But looking at the fat man's decay, his strong curiosity was hooked by him again, so he simply asked.
"This-this-this-" The fat man twisted up, and his huge face was ruddy, and he seemed to be extremely embarrassed, but his eyes wandered, and he accidentally fell on Lin Xiaofan's brick, and he felt a thrill in his heart, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "I know that my mother's private money is hidden there." ”
Belch......
This--it's so unkind to force people to steal the mother's private money, right?
It can be seen that if it weren't for the fact that he had no choice, the fat man would be extremely reluctant to touch his mother's private money.
Yes, in the name of this wicked man, Lao Tzu will sit on the real - it is not okay to sit on the real thing, that is too inhumane.
"Okay, okay! Just 50 gold coins! Don't give it more, don't give it to me! Lin Xiaofan waved his hand generously to stop the fat man's crying face.
With a wave of his hand, 10 gold coins went away with the wind, and the second uncle's income of nearly 30 years was wiped out, which made people feel heartbroken.
Alas! Lao Tzu is so kind, he must have a full score of four thumbs!
It's a pity, but the harvest is still refreshing.
However, it is a pity that in addition to the ability to deliver the first 10 gold coins, the rest will have to be paid within ten days, which is really a fly in the ointment.
No way, after all, the fat man is just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, how can he have so much cash? He was able to have 10 gold coins on him this time, and he also asked his father for it at night, so the two of them had a big quarrel.
It turned out that in order to break through the Spirit Disciple Realm and enter the Spirit Warrior Realm as soon as possible, the fat man was going to go to the advanced retreat room of the academy to close the death retreat, and strive for a one-time breakthrough success.
However, the retreat rooms are charged, and there are a total of 1,000 primary retreat rooms in the college, and the daily rental fee is 1 silver coin; 200 intermediate retreat rooms for 10 silver coins per day; 50 advanced retreat rooms for 1 gold per day.
You get what you pay for, whoever uses it knows.
The fat man himself has average qualifications, and after spending a year entering the Spirit Disciple Realm, on the one hand, he soaked in the primary retreat room every day and practiced hard, and on the other hand, his family did their best to provide various elixirs to help him cultivate, so he successfully entered the peak of the Spirit Disciple Realm after a year.
It's a pity that half a year has passed, and no matter whether the fat man is bored in the primary retreat room or tries the intermediate retreat room many times, the last layer of film has never been able to pierce it, which makes him very irritable to see who is unhappy.
Eventually, he decided that he was going to try it out in the Advanced Retreat Chamber, looking for an opportunity for this breakthrough.
However, the rental fee of 1 gold coin a day, even if he has a small amount of savings, this is also a high expense that cannot be underestimated, not to mention that the fat man must rent it for a month at a time in order to show his determination - on the one hand, he must ensure that there is enough time to rush the customs; On the other hand, although there are 50 high-level retreat rooms and the price is expensive, for the academy with tens of thousands of students, there are really too many monks and too few porridge, and there are many rich people in the academy, as long as they can cultivate quickly, those people don't care about money! There is also the fact that this advanced retreat room requires application and queuing, and it is not a random one. Now the fat man got this place, and he begged a familiar mentor to get it, so how could he not cherish it?
The fat father's own cultivation path is quite unsmooth, and he has been stagnant since he entered the Spirit Warrior Realm when he was a teenager, and now it is only the late stage of the Spirit Warrior Realm after many years.
He knew that his cultivation had been hopeless for the rest of his life, so he had a heart on the fat man's body, and he had been providing food and clothing since he was a child, and when the fat man entered the academy, he did his best to serve him, asking for money and money, asking for medicine and medicine, and even asking famous teachers for the fat man to give careful guidance at all costs, etc., it can be said that the fat man can have today, and the fat man's father has played an eighty percent role.
The fat man wants to rent a high-level retreat room to break through, he supports it, but his opinion is that a week of rent is enough, after all, in that kind of place, if you have inspiration, you can break through in minutes, and if you don't have inspiration, it will be in vain to take it there for a lifetime, which is consistent with the opinion of his "friend" mentor in the academy.
But the fat man doesn't believe in this evil, he always feels that the longer he stays, the more likely he is to break through, and the more angry he is in the rebellious period, he also got into the tip of the horns, let the fat father say that he just doesn't listen, he has to give him 30 gold coins, otherwise he said he will never give up.
The fat father doted on this lone seedling son very much, but he also came up with a violent temper after arguing, and finally threw him 10 gold coins: Love or not, don't pull down.
What's even worse is that the fat father immediately turned around and left, and actually dragged Lin Xiaofan's second uncle to the field to buy goods.
The fat man grew so big, and it was the first time he saw his father get so angry, and he was so scared that he waited until his father walked away, and then he reacted: I was scolded by my father, and I haven't got the money I want - what the hell is this?
The fat man was extremely angry in his heart, he didn't want to stay in that house for a quarter of an hour, Ren happened to come back from his grandmother's house and the old lady bumped into him, and he didn't give him the opportunity to inquire about the reason, so he ran back to the college dormitory angrily, but saw Lin Xiaofan, a waste firewood, holding the garbage-like baby brick, and felt even more unlucky for no reason, so the evil fire in his head burned over......
When the fat man left, he picked up the 10 gold coins that his father threw on the floor, of course, without any spine—which is why he had 10 gold coins on him.
As for the fat man's so-called ability to get 40 gold coins, it was because he and his father had taken a fancy to a famous sword in Qingtian Bingjia Store - a famous sword worth 40 gold coins, and his father was going to give it to him as a gift on his 15th birthday, so if he asked his father for this sword money, it was expected that his father would not refuse, which is why the fat man dared to promise to compensate Lin Xiaofan with 50 gold coins.
As for why a ten-day period is set, the reason is very simple - the money is in the hands of the fat father, and didn't the fat father go out with Uncle Lin to buy goods? No matter what, I can come back in ten days!
So that's it!
In this way, the fat man plans to take the 40 gold coins as compensation, so won't he be able to take out the so-called famous sword and go back to deal with the fat man's father?
Hehehe, the father-son war is about to be staged.
Unscrupulous someone, said that he had brought the bench, prepared melon seeds, and watched the game at any time......
