Chapter 107: Dream and Death: Purchase
On the way back with Cao Da, he said that he wanted to give a name to the move of the egret bow. Otherwise, it will inevitably feel strange to call it the first and second forms.
I said that the first type should be named the Countless Bows and Arrows, and the second type should be called the Giant Bow and Arrows. He said that it was not good, it was better to call it a storm attack in the first style, and the second type was called a domineering blow.
I thought about it for a long time. Although his name is not as good and realistic as mine, he is a senior brother after all, so he agreed to Cao Da's suggestion.
When I got back to the village, I asked where I could buy blood. He said that he could go to the tavern and buy two live chickens, and zombies liked to drink chicken blood and human blood anyway.
I thought it was a good idea, so I discussed it with the people who went to the tavern with Cao Da. They were ruthless enough to say they wouldn't sell us the chicken. But the chicken blood must be one of ten Bai Yuanjing. Considering that the harvest is relatively large, Cao Da and I can only reluctantly agree.
All afternoon, we've been making stiff nails. The harvest was not bad, and we got eleven hairy nails together, because we attracted different prey at different points each time, and we were not afraid that a certain area would be killed.
Counting the more than 500 Bai Yuan Crystals that already existed, we are already equivalent to more than 1,600 Bai Yuan Crystals. Cao laughed and said that maybe we would be the fastest contestants, and I nodded again and again.
When we dragged our tired bodies back to the hotel, the front desk lady saw that we both had good expressions, and she smiled: "Have a harvest today?" ”
Cao Da said politely: "Thanks to you, the harvest is good." ”
"That's going to have to work hard...... she whispered, "there are already twelve contestants in the process, and there are still eight spots left." ”
When she finished speaking, Cao Da and I didn't react, and stood stupidly at the door to look at her.
Already...... Twelve contestants passed!?
I said incredulously, "Are you kidding us?" I already think that the two of us are making Bai Yuanjing very quickly, but now you suddenly say that you have passed twelve. ”
She shrugged. said calmly: "It's normal, it's because you didn't figure out the logic." ”
"What logic?" Cao Da asked.
The front desk lady explained: "First of all, people who can become Taoist priests are people with higher talents; and can pass the Taoist assessment, that is even more of a genius; And those who are qualified to participate in the elite meeting are also the geniuses of the geniuses, don't forget that only twenty people can participate in the preliminaries, and five hundred people will participate. Twenty people passed, that is, only four percent of them succeeded. Tell me, what does that mean? ”
I muttered, "Peerless." ”
"Yes, this is the ...... of the Yuanmen Headquarters," the front desk lady said softly, "You have to figure out the logic from the beginning, and those who can join the Yuanmen Headquarters are either talented or have excellent Taoist skills." I think the speed at which you can earn Bai Yuanjing is really fast, but you also have to consider others. If you have adventures, others will not have them? It's best to take the chance, and if nothing else, I estimate that twenty places will be sold out by tomorrow evening. ”
I swallowed. I just felt like it was a thunderbolt that completely destroyed my little excitement and over-inflated self-esteem.
Gotta hurry!
The two of us returned to the room in a daze, unable to calm down for a long time. Cao Da fumbled and took out a cigarette to light it, he spit out the smoke, and said bitterly: "What she said is a conservative estimate, if we are too unlucky, it is estimated that tomorrow morning, the quota will be snatched up." ”
I sighed and said helplessly, "It can only depend on luck, we can't find a better way to earn Yuanjing." ”
The words of the front desk lady made us immediately return to sobriety from fantasy, and the oppressive atmosphere made me a little breathless. I leaned on the head of the bed, my heart full of worry, afraid that when we finally managed to gather two thousand Bai Yuanjing, I was told that the quota had been snatched up.
We didn't have the heart to talk anymore, so we went to the tavern to eat something at random, and when we exchanged Bai Yuanjing with Sister Xu, she was very surprised by our performance, and then took out ten red Yuanjing and handed them to us.
I took the red yuanjing, and suddenly felt that Sister Xu was also a help for us, so I asked in a low voice: "Sister Xu, we only lack four hundred white yuanjing now, ...... you Can you lend us some? ”
Sister Xu shook her head and said, "I really want to help you, but Yuanmen has regulations, if I borrow you Bai Yuanjing, I am afraid that I will be disqualified as a Taoist priest at the headquarters, and you will also be disqualified as a participant, they are very strict in recruiting elites." ”
I can only put away the red yuan crystal in disappointment, the yuan gate did not pursue our five hundred white yuan crystal, it is estimated that they did not expect that there were contestants who dared to rob the headquarters Taoist priest, so they regarded it as our regular income.
Back in the tavern room, Cao Da and I were about to go to bed when we suddenly heard a knock on the door outside. Cao Da went to open the door suspiciously, and I saw a man in a waiter's costume standing outside, and he said to us with a smile: "Sir, do you need to buy Yuanjing?" ”
My eyes widened in astonishment and I asked in disbelief, "You...... What do you say? ”
"This is the service of the guests of the luxurious rooms of the Yuanmen Hotel......" he chuckled, "You can buy Yuanjing from me, or you can sell Yuanjing." Of course, the selling price is cheaper than the purchase price. ”
It turns out that the top room service that the front desk lady said turned out to be this!
This is probably some kind of way for Yuanmen to pull sponsorship, there are rich children who are lazy and lazy in every place, and Yuanmen can only use Yuanjing to buy items here. This is also a way for some poor Taoist priests to make money, they can sell Yuan Jing for money!
Cao Da was also a little excited, and he hurriedly asked, "Please tell me the price." ”
The waiter said softly: "If you are buying Yuanjing, the purchase price of a white Yuanjing is fifty yuan; If it is for the sale of Yuan Jing, the selling price of a white Yuan Jing is twenty-five yuan. In addition, I need to remind you that the Yuanmen does not allow Taoist priests to trade the Yuanjing without permission, otherwise they will all be expelled from the Yuanmen. ”
This intermediary is really ruthless enough, and directly earns double the handling fee from the hands of those poor Taoist priests.
"Can you wait a moment?" Cao Da said politely, "I want to see how many Bai Yuanjing we need to buy first." ”
The waiter chuckled softly, "I'll come back in half an hour." ”
Cao Da said with some pleading: "Don't forget when the time comes, please come over." ”
"Okay."
After the waiter left, I exclaimed: "I can't imagine that Yuanmen himself will play this kind of transaction, senior brother, I dare to bet with you, among the twelve people who passed before, there must be those who directly spent money to pass." ”
"Money can make ghosts grind, even if it is Yuanmen, they are not exempt from vulgarity, now they can spend tens of thousands of yuan to enter the headquarters, and in the future, it will be hundreds of thousands, millions of ......" Cao Da said softly, "We can't compare with these symbols, count how many Bai Yuanjing are now." ”
I nodded again and again, and then counted the number of Bai Yuanjing with Cao Da. After repeating the count on both sides, we confirmed the total number of Bai Yuanjing now.
One thousand six hundred and sixty white yuan crystals, three hundred and forty white yuan crystals need to be purchased. Remember my brother.
Cao Da arithmetic: "Three hundred and forty times fifty, it takes 17,000 yuan, how much money do you have in your card?" ”
I honestly said that it was only more than 2,000 yuan, and Cao Da said that excluding the donation to the children, he only had 5,000 yuan. At this time, I suddenly remembered that because of the last time Li Tang Dynasty borrowed money to buy a feminine thing, Cao Da seemed to still owe me money, but I didn't choose to mention it at this time.
I sighed and said, "I called my parents to ask for it, but the master must have no money." ”
Cao Da gave me a grateful look, I took out my mobile phone and called my parents, who were quickly connected, and my mother happily asked me why I suddenly called back.
I was embarrassed to ask her to call me 15,000, and she said that if she was short of money, she just told her that the family had money, so I would ask my cousin who was in business to help transfer the money now, and they would give my cousin money. He also told me to eat enough and go to bed on time every day.
It didn't take long for me to receive a reminder from my mobile phone, and it turned out to be 20,000 yuan.
When the waiter came again, he smiled and asked us if we wanted to buy it, and we quickly said that we wanted to buy three hundred and forty white yuan crystals, and asked him to help us all change to red yuan crystals.
Hearing our words, his face turned ugly, and he muttered: "There are a few contestants, one is to spend 50,000 yuan to buy 2,000 directly, you are really enough to save, don't sell it, less than 500 Bai Yuanjing will not be sold." ”
I was so anxious that I grabbed the waiter's neck and roared fiercely: "Believe it or not, if you dare to say that you don't sell it at this time, I will kill you." ”
