Chapter 18: Conflict
After Ellis briefly introduced the rules of the Jiang Clan's pawnshop, he couldn't wait to ask, "Then the two of you...... Dear guests, what wishes do you want to fulfill, and what do you plan to use as pawns? ”
"Don't worry, Boss Jiang, I still have a question that I don't understand too well, can you please explain it to us again?" After Ellis's words fell, the beauty in the skirt asked him.
"Of course, please speak!"
Ellis didn't show a hint of impatience at the overskirt beauty's completely unconventional questioning.
Because of the failure experience of running an inn in his previous life, at least he learned one truth, that is, it is better for customers to have problems than no problems, and the more and more carefully asked, the more likely they are to pawn it with themselves in the end.
This is the same as when everyone goes to buy a house, the stronger the purchase intention, the more detailed the inquiry will be to the sales lady!
"According to Boss Jiang, there is no limit to the items that can be pawned, and it doesn't have to be like Freeman's own soul, as long as the value is high enough, right?"
"That's right."
"How do you define the value of pawns? Is it calculated according to the value on the market, or is it simply decided by Boss Jiang? ”
When the dress-dressing beauty said this, she paused deliberately, stared at Ellis for a moment, and then asked, "And how should we judge what kind of pawn I need to pay for the wish I need to fulfill?" ”
Ellis frowned upon hearing the sharp question of the overskirt beauty.
This woman is very sensible, not like a mutant who is not fully awakened by the X gene, is troubled by the defects in her body, and desperately wants to get rid of this trouble.
Her spirit of breaking the casserole and asking questions to the end is more like some law enforcement officers who conduct secret visits, deliberately using their own words.
"What? Is this question difficult to answer? The young man sitting next to the beautiful woman in the skirt saw Ellis frowning, and he also said step by step.
"How, this question is not difficult to answer!"
Ellis waved his hand, indicating that it was all a minor problem, and explained to the two of them with a sincere (hypocritical) face: "Because of the particularity of Jiang's pawnshop, I usually suggest suitable 'items' for pawning to the guest according to the difficulty of realizing this wish after the guest makes a wish, such as soul, lifespan, skills, and even treasures that can improve strength!" ”
After discovering that the two people on the sofa opposite were listening to each other, Ellis continued: "As for the specific value of pawns, it is indeed up to me to set the price, because of the particularity of this kind of pawns, there is no so-called market price. If I give the purchase price and the customer agrees, it is completely optional not to pawn, and it is okay! ”
"In this way, the real value of pawns, our customers don't know at all, it's all up to Boss Jiang to have the final say! What if you lower the price and deliberately cheat us? At this time, the young man on the other side interjected again.
"I'll go, these two won't be from the New York Price Bureau!"
After muttering a few words in his heart, Ellis gradually lost his patience, what kind of attitude is this begging for someone to do things!
That's right, Ellis has always felt that anyone who comes to Jiang's pawnshop and makes abnormal pawns can be regarded as begging him to do something (although he also needs to complete some tasks issued by the pawnshop system and profit from it!). )。
After all, looking at the whole world, there is the ability to make people's dreams come true, and the Jiang pawnshop is a unique one.
This is a real monopoly business, and there is no one who smuggles parallel goods and fights a price war with him in order to grab business......
In this case, in addition to the reserve price set by the pawnshop system, the rest must be decided by the general agent of Boss Jiang!
Besides, the system is not a charity, and Ellis, who knows how dangerous the Marvel world is and needs to upgrade the system with profit points to get more self-protection ability, is not even more responsive Santa Claus.
"Two, isn't a wish something that can be measured by mere value?" Ellis gradually put away the smile on his face.
"A person's soul and longevity are not measurable by their mere value!" What he didn't expect was that this young man would directly push back the words.
As soon as the young man's unkind tone came out, Ellis knew that this guy was here to find fault even if he became sluggish and unvigilant because of the existence of the Absolute Realm.
In fact, not only did he feel that the young man wanted to find fault, but even the beautiful woman in the skirt also noticed that the young man was a little out of control.
So she turned her head and gave the young man a warning look, and quickly smiled apologetically at Ellis.
Although Ellis was already a little unhappy in his heart, considering that these two people were introduced by Lily (but they weren't), there was a 0.001 chance that he would really pawn something valuable.
Even if it's just to make up an order for yourself, accumulate the number of pawns faster, so that you can carry out a systematic lottery, this kind of kindergarten-level provocation can be tolerated for the time being!
So although Ellis had completely lost the smile on his face, he still asked routinely (without giving up): "Do you want to pawn something to fulfill one of your wishes?" ”
"Don't do it for the time being, Boss Jiang, let's think about it first, and when we think about it, we'll ...... another day"
Before the dress beauty finished speaking, the young man next to her interjected again: "Dang, why not?" ”
"So what is your wish to fulfill, and what do you plan to use as a pawn?" In order to make up the order, Ellis also fought hard, and he didn't want any cheekiness, and the beauty in the skirt suddenly grabbed the words because the young man suddenly grabbed the words, and the kung fu of Leng Shen immediately took over the conversation.
"My wish is for mutants and ordinary humans to coexist peacefully in the future, have you been able to make it happen?" After the young man finished speaking, he looked at Ellis with a playful expression, as if waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
Damn, this kid really dares to dream that mutants and ordinary humans can coexist peacefully so easily?
You must know that before entering the modern society, human beings of different colors and nationalities could not coexist peacefully with each other, let alone between 'races'!
This is not some inexplicable strange love that can ignore the bonds of race......
Even if Ellis saw his fraternity for the sake of world peace and didn't raise the price to make a profit, this kid would definitely not be able to get a pawn of equal value.
Why don't you be a little more pragmatic and learn from Magneto and dream of being a mutant to rule over humanity!
After complaining a few words in his heart about this second-year young man, and seeing his expression of waiting for himself to make a fool of himself, Ellis finally became completely angry, and he didn't plan to be wronged for making up an order anymore.
After glancing at the two of them very dissatisfied, he directly reached out to the door of the pawn shop and pointed to it: "If you don't want to pawn, but come here to have fun, I advise you two to leave here before I get angry!" ”
"Yo, this is angry, boy, let me tell you, don't think of yourself as a god just because you have obtained a somewhat strange superpower, this world is not as simple as you think!"
When the young man saw Ellis let them leave, he stood up from the sofa opposite.
At this time, the beautiful woman in the skirt who had been in the skirt for a long time also came back to her senses, grabbed the young man, and reprimanded: "Enough, John, I order you to apologize to Boss Jiang!" ”
"Teacher Jean Grey, can't you see that this kid is a guy who has gained some kind of superpower and is swaggering everywhere?" The young man who was pulled by the beautiful woman in the skirt stared at Ellis and said hatefully.
"I've said enough, John!" The beautiful woman in the skirt seemed to be provoked by the young man named John, and her words were obviously angry.
When Ellis heard the two of them call each other, a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, making his originally vague memory instantly clear, and he remembered the true identities of the two men.
The X-Men's Phoenix Woman, Jean Grey and Burning Man, John Ellerdeis.
