Chapter 51: Remembering "Celebrities" to Buy Materials (Part I)
The more Edison and the four editors talked, the more speculative they became, and the more they talked, the happier they became!
But on the other hand, Edison was dual-minded, he saw six ways, listened to all directions, and constantly scanned the cafeteria with the help of his super five senses, and about six of his energy was spent on chatting with the four editors, and the other three and a half were concentrated on his eyes and ears.
Only the remaining half of his energy is on eating, which can only allow him to distinguish whether what he eats is rice or vegetables! As for asking what this meal tastes like, and whether it tastes good, then Edison can only hehehe~.
So what exactly is he looking at?
Five paces away from the upper left corner to the right, a man with a well-proportioned figure and steady pace, who had obviously practiced warrior skills for a few days, was munching on and drinking, when suddenly a man with a somewhat burly figure came across from him, and a name popped out of his mouth to make Edison's ears move, and he said, "Hey, are you Jack London, I heard that you have been asking how to go to sea lately...... (Masterpiece "The Call of the Wild")
Soon, while Edison was having a good time, a simple, but well-dressed young man humming a little song passed by the people at their table, but at this moment, a sweet-looking, well-built, and delicately dressed woman said to him affectionately: "Roman, Roland, don't eat here every day, come and I'll invite you to go outside......" (Masterpiece "Johann Christopher")
After a few more minutes, Edison saw a large crowd of people approaching the middle-aged man with a threatening but unpleasant face, talking about last year's "Literary Hand" medal, and worshipping and touting the man in the middle......
Edison curiously asked the four of them to find out. This is Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the gold medal editor of the Western Continent branch of the "Reading Authority" publishing house. None of the works that he fancied did not sell well, and his status was second only to the three vice presidents. (The masterpiece of the previous life "The Troubles of Young Werther")
......
And just one meal of effort. Edison saw several "celebrities" in his previous life, which made him feel that "things gather like and people are grouped", "this trip is worthwhile", and "gold always shines". "Besides.
At the same time, they also quietly recorded their faces and soul breath, so that they could be recognized as soon as they met later. In fact, Edison himself didn't know why he did such a thing, but there was a gut that told him that it didn't hurt to write down their appearance and breath, and there would always be a day when it would come in handy.
The only pity is that because there are more than 10,000 diners in the whole building, the staff canteen has been eating after work since 11 o'clock, and the "staggered peak dining" system is implemented.
Even if Edison dragged on and on. ate this meal until 14 o'clock in the afternoon, and still didn't recognize the faces of all the employees here, and he didn't know if there were any missing "celebrities" that he didn't know.
......
And there is no banquet in the world, after some exchange and dinner + advice, the two sides said goodbye to each other, exchanged the imprint of the communication crystal, and began their completely different life trajectories.
For the people in the editorial department of the "Nonsense Mage" series, they had the means to improve their performance in the future, and for Edison. In the future, there will be a channel to write warm literature step by step, purify the power of faith, and even make more money to conduct magical experiments, and both sides will take what they need. So everyone rejoiced.
Life is like this, sometimes a meal of meeting becomes a conversation of friends, but when we meet again. It's already a different story.
......
When I got out of the publishing house, it was still early. Edison thought that it would be okay to go back to the hotel now, so he turned to the Royal National Magic Store on the other side.
For all magicians. The Royal National Magic Shop in the outer circle is the most expensive in it, but the goods must be the most genuine and complete. If you can't find the materials you are looking for here, then you can only try your luck in the Central Continent except to do it yourself and risk your life to collect them in the wild.
So knowing that the price of the things in this is inflated, there are still many people who obediently enter the door and are slaughtered!
But this shop for Edison!
His eyes were a little complicated, and with a little thought, he took out a light ink-colored card with the royal badge of the Tesla family from the [Kingdom of God], and was respectfully invited into the single reception room in the store by the hostess at the door.
After a while, an old man with a little nervous look, but a strong face and a tough body walked in.
Seeing Edison, his expression seemed to relax a little, and then he asked:
"Are you?!Traveling Master Edison!"
"I didn't expect to come to the door so early with the card, although the rules of the family can't be broken, but with this card, you can enjoy a 5% discount on shopping, are you sure you can use it so early?"
But when he said this, Edison strangely found that although the old man was calm on the surface, the emotions in his soul seemed to be a little nervous and anxious.
After thinking about it, he didn't seem to say anything wrong, but he still nodded firmly and responded: "Originally, I didn't want to use it so early, but this trip I only plan to enjoy the scenery of my hometown within the Western Continent, so there are always some magic materials from other continents that cannot be collected by myself, and several of them are rare materials that are expensive and not easy to encounter." ”
"So I'm just here this time to see if there are any of these materials, if there are any, I'll buy them first, if not, I'll place an order to buy, please pay attention to it, it's always okay, right?"
The old man bowed lightly before he spoke: "Then I don't know what rare magic materials you need Young Master Edison, I'll say it first, the goods with a total value of 10,000 gold coins can be discounted by 50%, if the value of a piece exceeds this number, there is only one thing you can buy, and you have to pay the full amount for the rest." ”
"But if you have this card, we can keep it for you when you need it until you can afford to pay the full amount!"
Edison swallowed his saliva and counted the latest amount of money in his pocket before he was slightly relieved, and he said:
"Well, I'll abide by the rules, but I need the silkworm potatoes and spirit bone skeletons from the Eastern Continent, the blood red persimmons and agarwood melons from the Southern Continent, the diving squid juice and lazy cat greasy ointment from the deep sea of the Northern Continent, and the kyanite ore pith from the Central Continent...... Can you provide these things?"
After asking, regardless of the old man's sudden change in face, Edison, who felt a little thirsty, picked up the drink on the table and took a sip.
After tasting it, Edison politely said to the waiter on the side: "Oh, by the way, this cup of ear root coffee is good for entertaining guests, but it is a bit bitter for me, can you please add me three more spoonfuls of sugar!?" )
PS: If you are interested, you can check the biographies and deeds of the above three historical celebrities, and you probably know that when Edison met them, they were probably in which period of their lives!
