The first point of negotiation is to disguise one's intentions.

At this point, the bearded man had completely missed, but years of experience still made him try to appease Lin An when he wanted what he wanted.

This can't be considered the bearded man's fault, nor is it his dementia.

After all, even the vegetable market aunt, who is an expert in civil negotiations, often takes similar actions.

"How much is your persimmon a pound?"

"If you don't buy it~ just take a look! …… If it's cheaper, maybe I can buy more and go home~"

"Okay... If you don't discount it, you won't discount it, just give me half a catty at this price. ”

Although the scenarios are different, and although the goals are different, the ideas are always the same.

Although Lin An doesn't have the flamboyant eloquence of a vegetable vendor, nor does he have the experience of being in the workplace for a long time like a bearded man, he is now the kind of hawker stall owner who will bite the bait and take the bait.

Even if the technique is a little inferior, I am not afraid that the beard will not bleed.

"Oops~ I just returned from a wild adventure in the past two days, and I really don't have the heart to go outside to experience and earn credits or anything, by the way, do you have anything else?

Now that the night is getting dark, I think we should talk again the next day, right? ”

Lin An was thinking that this guy's posture would definitely ask to catch him as his coolie, so it would be a pity not to pick him up.

But who knew that as soon as he said this, the bearded man's heart was half settled.

"Brother Lin~ You just came back from outside, it's time to rest.

If someone asks you to go on an expedition, or tells you to join a student organization, don't go, those people are ......."

The bearded man chattered endlessly, but it didn't seem like he had the slightest intention of inviting himself to join the team.

On the contrary, the truth is that an elder who is concerned about his studies sincerely tells him all kinds of things to pay attention to.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin An had just received a similar lesson from his mechanic instructor, it would have been past midnight at this moment.

Lin An is afraid that he will really regard him as a relative who met by chance, so he kindly advises him here.

But what about this now...... If you can believe this guy's half a sentence, there will be a ghost.

[Could it be that the bearded man doesn't want me to go out now, is he having some procedural difficulties and can't pull me away?] 】

Lin An was very skeptical, but there was anything that could support his views.

Fortunately...... Seeing Lin An's beard bowing his head and contemplating, he really thought that this guy who had never seen the world was fooled by himself.

With a kind look, he took out a colorless natural magic crystal with extremely high purity from his arms, and wanted to give it to him as a gift to appease Lin An.

The bearded man's gift didn't matter, not only confirmed Lin An's conjecture about his strategy, but also opened up the plan for Tanji's weapon upgrade plan.

[Colorless Magic Crystal...... Although in terms of the efficiency of absorbing and storing energy, it is a little worse than other dyed magic crystals.

But a little processing...... It looks like it can be made into an inferior version of the Kedalin crystal.。。

Wait a minute! In that case, upgrade the Detective Shield's armor to a small sentry.

It can not only solve the problem of energy supply in the battle of the vigilant, but also use it to build more practical combat spells?! 】

Yakiniku with a fork...... For 10,000 years, it has been the most classic battle match in the battle sequence of the star spirit.

Countless battlefield experiences have made the Star Spirit Sentinel, a mechanical unit, known as an almost all-powerful logistics support officer.

The abundant supply of energy is comparable to the attack power of the floating turret, not to mention the [Inspiration], [Time and Space Barrier], [Energy Shield], and the unique battlefield spells that can be used with its almost endless psionic supply.

With the blessing of the sentinel, Lin An would not have to think about equipping his Tanji with an ominous solar tomahawk.

It only takes a slight adjustment of the power of the precursor flashlight, and when needed, two 40-meter-long machetes shoot out.

Isn't this much stronger than the solar-powered tomahawk that can be called an El poison explosion?! 】

Thinking of this, Lin An looked at the unique magic crystal in his hand that was pure and colorless, and showed a smile like an idiot.

The beard didn't know what to do, but the more he looked at the smile on Lin An's face, the more he felt like he was going to a certain club, and the anxious expressions of those regular customers.

[I have stepped on this kid's pain point? 】

The bearded man muttered a little uncertainly, and then he felt Lin An's way of repaying the benefactor who inspired him.

"Hey~ Your brother is really, he gave me something as soon as we met, how embarrassing it is!"

Lin An first said embarrassed polite words, but he didn't hesitate to put the magic crystal into his bag at hand.

The movements are more proficient than the bearded man's actions of watching some supervisors receive red envelopes when performing tasks.

By this time, he had already sensed the development of events, and something was not good.

Unfortunately, he realized it too late.

"Dude...... I guess you can guess it too.

At the beginning, in order to save the money for the spare parts of my machine soul beast upgrade, I owed a lot of foreign debts to others.

A person with a personality like me, who takes the soft hands of others, and the thought of being riddled with foreign debts is really tormented and I can't sleep.

So! Although I really want to stay in the academy honestly and practice for a while.

But he is riddled with foreign debts, and now there is indeed such an opportunity to make a fortune.

So—"

Lin An didn't finish the next sentence, and looked at the beard with a long voice slightly.

This old brother's face was a little ugly, and he almost scolded his mother when he heard what Lin An said.

[Can't you sleep?! I'm too embarrassed to poke you!!

Who did you learn such a set of skills from at a young age? I'm almost more proficient in the words of suggestion than I am......]

The bearded man originally thought that he was looking for a useful subordinate, a reliable thug.

Which Cheng thought that the face of this philistine was almost comparable to himself.

However, the bearded man is still a person who does great things after all, and the embarrassment and surprise on his face disappeared in only an instant.

With a flick of his fingers, a heavy bag appeared on his palm.

The bag was about the size of a small plastic band in the supermarket, and when you tossed it with your hand, it made a rattling sound.

With a throw of his hand, he was sent to Lin An's arms.

With a pinch of his hand, Lin An knew what was inside.

A bag full of magic crystals, although judging by the size, they are all products of those who have not officially entered the rank of demonic beasts.

But it is worth a lot of money compared to soul steel, and for Lin An, who is ready to refine the Kaidalin crystal by himself, the size does not matter, and even the purity does not matter.

He's going to have to rework anyway.

Of course, with such a bag of magic crystals, it was still far from enough for him to refine the sentinels.

Not even the materials for the core components of the components are sufficient.

But it's not that the beard is not generous enough, it's really that Xingling Technology's products are too TM expensive.

It was the savings of Hei Dong Chan'er's wealthy lady who had formed Xiao Tanji's vigilant armor before.

No matter how rich the bearded person is, no matter how bold he is, he can't compare with the daughter of the Qianfan Chamber of Commerce.

So Lin An stopped here, after accepting the bearded man's "persuasion".

The two said goodbye to each other, and then Lin An hummed a little song that broke the beard's heart and returned to his student apartment.
