Section 9: Expedition (I)

Okay, it didn't hurt this time.

Townsend pulled his head out of the snowdrift and shook his head, and found that this was no longer the Xiaoice cave before, the area was much larger, and the surrounding ice walls and inverted ice ridges were beautiful, crystal clear, and pleasing in shape, as if they had been carefully arranged.

"Isn't it okay to play like this every time?" Isn't it scared to death if you change to a timid one?" Townsend slapped the snowflakes on his body and complained in his mouth, but the customer is not really looking for fault, but to make a bargain for the price.

"Timid customers don't deserve to do business with me, meow. On the ice bed opposite Townsend, the white cat yawned lazily: "But since you are not satisfied, then you don't have to make a special trip to prepare the snowdrift next time." ”

"The snowdrift still needs to be prepared, but you can replace it with something that won't turn into water, so that I don't have droplets of water all over my body, and this dress is very valuable. Townsend kept smiling, found an ice cube by himself, and pretended to spread it with animal skins before sitting down: "Joan, I'm going to leave here in the next few days, and I remembered what you said before, so I found some goods to trade with you." By the way, I would like to say goodbye to you. ”

"Meow?" the white cat stood up, squatted down facing Townsend, and asked seriously, "Is it important to trade or say goodbye?"

"Uh...... We have a relationship, but it is not deep, so there are many factors in trading. Townsend laughed: "I hope this answer doesn't make you sad." ”

"Why should I be sad? You will be sad if you say goodbye. Joan licked her paws: "If you say goodbye, what you brought is a gift, right?

"You're such a businessman, you can do everything. Townsend shook his head exaggeratedly: "Let's take a look at the goods I brought first?"

"Meow-" Joan's claws shook in front of her, and a large pile of ice immediately fell from the ice wall in the distance. In the midst of the flying ice chips, two icemen as tall as Townsend stood up, and they walked steadily to the snowdrift, pulled the pack horses up with only one hand, and then quickly unwrapped the packages on the horses' backs, took out the contents in all their forms, and arranged them in several groups.

Townsend couldn't understand the order and classification of them, but he was sure that they weren't placed randomly, but were classified according to some special way of identification...... Unfortunately, he is now completely incomprehensible to such rules.

The first to be sorted out is the largest category, including many treasures that are extremely expensive in the mainland. But Joan didn't even have the interest to look at it, and said directly to Townsend, "You can take these things back, they don't have any trading value." ”

"This is too bullying, anyway, I worked hard to get up the mountain, there is no merit and hard work, and there is fatigue ......without hard work," Townsend was indignant: "And you refuse to tell me what exactly I need, I feel like I'm blind." ”

"Whether you can get the catalogue or not depends on the value of these goods," Joan said, squinting her eyes, "Our first transaction was actually a chance encounter, not counted, but this time the goods can fully prove your own strength and progress during this time, which is the way for me to judge your comprehensive ability." ”

"So I'm hitting the big luck, right?" Townsend snapped, dissatisfied.

"Luck is also a form of strength, don't you say?" Joan dismisses Townsend's attitude.

As it spoke, the Iceman had already placed the second category of cargo in front of it. As Townsend expected, this time it was all fish. In terms of practice, there are fried fish, grilled fish, and fried fish, toothpick fish, palm fish, and big-faced fish in terms of size, and fish-shaped, line-surnamed, umbrella-shaped, and triangular pentagonal discs...... As for those with bright colors and beautiful tail fins, they are all frozen in the whole body, and the whole beard and tail are vivid.

For a while, the white cat was full of dazzling and fragrant fragrances. Seeing the rich expression on Joan's face, Townsend was secretly amused in his heart - you are a cat now, I will prescribe the right medicine, I don't believe you can resist the temptation of fish!

This is also Townsend's most naked temptation!

Joan took her eyes off the myriad delicacies with infinite nostalgia and glared at Townsend viciously, "Meowβ€”you actually did this. ”

"Doing what he likes, this can be regarded as a kind of businessman's necessary quality, right? Attacking his weaknesses can also be regarded as a clever man's little trick. "Townsend generously admitted, how about I just seduce you with a fish?

"Don't think I can't help it, meow!" Joan's body leaned back, her body instantly expanded and expanded, and the light and shadow of the space distorted for a while, and when she calmed down, the white cat was gone, replaced by a young woman with a good demeanor. Her clothing style is bizarre but not grotesque, and there are slender streamer-like metal ornaments, which match her clear and mellow charm.

"Actually replaced?" Townsend ignored the softness of the female surname, and immediately objected: "No, isn't this a foul?"

"I have not promised Your Excellency, I have always appeared in the image of Joan. The young lady's voice was immature and clear: "Next, I will take the place of Joan's affairs, and meet for the first time, I am Si." ”

"You're going to be Indiana next time, right?" Townsend sneered, but a smile came back on his face: "I'm Townsend." Miss Si would like to taste these goods, I think, even for a lady, these are delicious foods. ”

"It may be a bit hard to say. Si calmly replied: "Actually, distinguished guest, I am a fish man. ”

"Uh......" Townsend suddenly felt the urge to smash everything, can the business of the mysterious merchant still do this? It is better to play with people - but after thinking about it, he is clearly in a weak position, and it is not up to others to decide how to do business?

Townsend didn't like this state very much, and since he wanted something, he would have to give up a lot of things, and the outcome was unknown. This kind of thing is no longer in the category of striving for, hot face and cold ass is indeed a life attitude, but it does not belong to Townsend!

That's right, you can't live with a begging mentality, for this unpredictable existence, in a situation where the strength and weakness are not contrasted, once you are serious, then you will lose - in an instant, Townsend's mentality has completed the transformation, and the vision has returned to clear.

"I don't think that's the point, as a mysterious businessman, Miss Si should have a subtle discernment. Identity or something, definitely won't be in the eyes. Townsend smiled slightly, and the words in his mouth were very mean: "As long as there is enough profit, a businessman can betray everything." Country, nation, family, feelings, the difference is only in the price of the price, just a few fish, it is difficult for you. ”
