Chapter 19: A Defeat

When Mr. Shi Zhuang first heard the news of the duel between Youqian and Yixun, he felt uncomfortable. Yi Xun is the child of his best friend, and he can be said to have watched him grow up since he was a child. Unexpectedly, in the end, he couldn't stop his hatred of pure humans, so much so that he couldn't find any good jobs after graduating from Megniho.

"With your abilities, accomplishment should never be like this. Lao Zhu doesn't mind treating pure human beings, why are you still angry? Mr. Shi Zhuang asked.

On this day, Yixun happened to come relatively early, so he had a little time for the two of them to be alone.

"I'm against pure humans not just because of my dad, but pure humans aren't supposed to live in this world, they can't be armed, they're not as smart as us, they're just useless." Yixun still insisted on his ideas.

Mr. Shi Zhuang knew that this child was very stubborn, and he was not so easy to move. Even so, he still persuaded: "You don't lack these dozens of gold coins, why bother so much, and you are still on a bar with a pure human being, there is no need!" ”

Mr. Shi Zhuang has some understanding of Youqian's situation. He thought to himself that if he could persuade Yixun to retreat here, it would not only be beneficial to the relationship between the two people, but also to his future life. It's a pity that Yixun didn't buy it, and he turned around and left without listening.

When Youqian and Jasmine arrived, they happened to encounter this scene. It's been the fourth day since the start of the matchup. As You Qian estimated, the purchase price of waste vessels has soared in the past few days, from the initial two copper coins per ton to four copper coins per meal. In other words, as long as Youqian sold all the scraps in his hand now, he would be able to get four gold coins, which would be one step closer to twenty gold coins.

"It's not time yet! Prices will go up! You Qian said exactly after learning about the market from Mr. Shi Zhuang.

"You young people dare to dare to fight and be able to seize this opportunity. I'm old, old. Mr. Shi Zhuang said with a smile. He saw that the purchase price of scrap equipment was getting higher and higher day by day, and he had to admire these two young people for daring to make a move at the lowest ebb.

"Youqian, there is a reason why Yixun became like that, I hope you don't blame him too much." In his spare time, Mr. Shi Zhuang said to Youqian.

Jasmine's face was full of resentment after hearing this, and she said: "That person discriminates and splits, can you blame him?" Uncle Shi, your old eyes are dizzy. ”

You Qian also said: "I don't understand why he is so targeted at us pure humans. This has been the case since the beginning of school. ”

Mr. Shi Zhuang sighed, showing a rare tired mood.

"It goes back to 20 years ago, before you were born. That year, the Sea King Kaishan Crab brought countless sea beasts and sea monsters to launch a general attack on the empire, and the two neighboring countries of Buyan and Mengxi took advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack, and the Zansi Empire was in danger. The Empire has organized all the forces it can fight and launched a resistance with all its might. At that time, I, Yixun's father Zhu Mize, uncle Zhu Mize, and several good buddies in the hunting group were all incorporated into the temporary army. At that time, our captain was a pure human named Dister. ”

Twenty years ago, Youqian had heard about the battle, and his family was not directly involved in the battle, so he had never heard any first-hand news.

Mr. Shi Zhuang sighed with a sad face: "It's so miserable, it's really miserable." There were seven of us, and in the end, Yixun's father and I survived. Mi Ze was injured more seriously than me, and his body has not been very good since he came back, and he had a kidney problem some time ago, and he almost didn't survive. He was supposed to be the rising star of the hunting group, but he didn't think about it and ruined it like this.

The temporary army has no organization and tactics, it is all based on individual martial arts, and a few of our hunting regiments are somewhat cooperative, and ordinary people die faster. That guy is a waste, he has never seen a sea beast before he set foot on the battlefield, because he has a good family relationship and became our captain. He doesn't know anything, he doesn't listen to other people's opinions at all, and he gives random orders, whether he should retreat or not, and almost the whole team of us is dead. He was torn to pieces in front of Yu Ze, they are brothers and sisters, how can you not hate? ”

"Later, what happened to Dister?" You Qian asked.

Mr. Shi Zhuang sighed: "Later, we sold him. In the cover retreat, Mi Ze and I deliberately showed a vacancy, let the sea beast and sea monster rush in, and surrounded the guy, hey, don't say it, don't say it. ”

Mr. Shi Zhuang said that there was a difficult look in this, and Jasmine and You Qian didn't say anything more when they saw this.

The price of scrap went all the way, and by the seventh day, the purchase price had quadrupled as high as eight copper coins per ton. According to his own ideas, You Qian immediately decided to sell them all and get eight gold coins in one go.

Yixun couldn't help laughing when he saw Youqian selling it all.

"So you are stupid, you still don't believe it, do you think that the empire will be completely unprepared for such a large-scale battle? In the past few days, the momentum of propaganda has risen instead of decreasing, and now the number of people participating in the war has exceeded 3,000. Not making timely adjustments to price estimates based on data is your biggest flaw. In my opinion, this wave of market, to say the least, will continue for another week. ”

Even Youqian had to admit that Yixun's grasp of the situation was indeed unique. Even so, he is convinced that the purchase price will definitely fall in the next few days.

However, the next day, the purchase price of the scrap increased by one copper coin per ton, and this time Youqian completely lost. As long as Yixun sells the hoarding in his hand, he can easily win with a 25% advantage. What's more, the market is generally optimistic about the purchase of scrap equipment, and the price will even rise further.

Seeing that the victory and defeat have been divided, You Qian has no face to stay at the acquisition station anymore. Although he earned eight gold coins in one wave, he still felt uncomfortable.

You Qian walked back to the grocery store with his head down, and as he passed by a dark and damp alley, he felt a wild killing intent attack.

He rolled to the left just in time to avoid the blow from behind. Looking back, in his place, there stood a dying and weak sea beast.

Judging from the appearance, this is the sea beast that ran in from the beach that day, and there are still many scars on its body, and its scales and fins are also incomplete, so it is estimated that it has been hiding here for a long time.

The sea beast saw Youqian as if it saw hope, a pair of dead fish eyes staring directly at his chest. This made You Qian very surprised, why is this fish also interested in the small box?

It was too late, and the sea beast launched its final attack with all its might, and it pounced on Youqian like crazy. Helplessly, this sea beast was already extremely weak, and was directly killed by You Qian's backhand pick up the stick and beat the water dog directly.

Although there was no danger, it still scared You Qian enough. Walking on the street can be attacked by sea beasts, how lucky is this?
