Chapter 2 The Way to Make Money and Get Rich
In the year 645o of the Aden United Calendar, Qin Lan was twelve years old. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There are still six or seven years to go, and the world will be turned upside down on the Mutu Big 6, but at this time, everything is still just peace and prosperity.
Qin Lan really wanted to spend this period of infancy as a gentleman, but unfortunately his father watched it tightly...... Obviously, because Qin Lan's behavior was too normal, Qin Buqun hoped to train Qin Lan to become a qualified civilian personnel, at least he could replace his position, at least when he grew up, he could eat together.
Qin Lan didn't have any fighting talent, and he couldn't store any fighting energy and mana in his body...... This is the words of the fake and shoddy priest nine years ago, and now he has long since lost his knowledge of where he died drunk, the temple of the Xinglan Empire is almost deserted, because the geography is too remote, and the ruling empress is still virtuous, so Xinglan almost does not have much oil and water, and the high-level of the Church of Light is reluctant to come, and the bottom has no strength to suppress people, so it finally created the current ending, that is, the lack of faith in the Xinglan Empire.
Qin Qing is already sixteen years old, fortunately, because Qin Buqun is strict, she has not talked about her boyfriend yet, and she is currently struggling about her own strength, in her class, her strength is very low, almost at the bottom, first, because of the fact that her talent is not very good, and secondly, magicians are very dependent on equipment, and sometimes a good rod can increase her strength exponentially, but Qin Buqun himself is just a petty official, and he has no means of black money, and he has three wives and four children to raise, where is there so much money to buy her a good rod? Good magic wand, that price he didn't even dare to look at.
Qin Qing is a girl after all, she already has some thoughts of comparison at this age, and her father can't give her no choice, so she can only keep her head down and be a man, and she can only look enviously at the good equipment that her classmates took out one by one to show off. January 2o is Qin Qing's birthday, but she is not happy at all, Qin Buqun can't go home to celebrate her birthday because of business, and the most angry thing is that she was ridiculed by her classmates during the day.
A few good girls on weekdays knew that today was her birthday, so they gave her a small gift, which was originally a happy thing, but they asked her again, will your family go to that restaurant to hold a birthday party in the evening?
......
Okay, will that be done at your home? Can we go and participate?
......
It is conceivable that after Qin Qing came back, she immediately became angry with her mother, the eldest lady, and then when she knew that her father Qin Buqun was going to return late today, she became even more angry, so that when she appeared in front of her sister and younger brother Qin Lan, her face was full of unhappiness.
The cake on the table was specially made by the chef of the kitchen, this was something that was ordered a few days ago, but the family was gathered together, looking at Qin Qing's face and feeling very embarrassed, should she be happy on her birthday, but she was sulking with a frosty face.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and cut the cake, everyone eats it. After being silent for a while, the eldest lady spoke, after all, she was her daughter, and she was still distressed.
"Wait a minute. Qin Lan took out a few colorful things from her pocket, and then inserted them into the cake in front of everyone......
"Hey little one, this is not your naughty place, this is your sister's birthday cake, how can you mess around......" The eldest lady saw that she hurriedly reached out and pulled out these colorful things.
"It's okay, you take a look first. Qin Lan hurriedly stopped her, and then lit them with fire...... Obviously, everyone knew that this was a birthday candle, and when the sixteen candles were lit, everyone's faces showed a look of surprise, and then Qin Lan asked the maid next to her to turn off the magic lamp in the restaurant.
Sixteen orange-yellow candles were constantly beating, Qin Lan clapped her hands, "Eldest sister, this represents your previous sixteen years old...... Congratulations on growing up again, now blow them out in one go, and then make a wish, your wish will come true, remember to blow them out in one go"
"Really?" Qin Qing suddenly asked in surprise.
...... The adults were speechless, and such a childish thing could only be thought of by children, but what could they say? And Qin Ji and Qin Jian next to him had already clapped their hands and shouted that the eldest sister was blowing out the candles, and Qin Ji even secretly pulled Qin Lan's
"Brother, my second sister and I will have birthdays in a month, and you have to get us this thing too. ”
"Good. ”
Qin Qing, as a wind mage, blew out sixteen candles in one go, which was really a piece of cake, and then she immediately hugged her fists to her chest and made a wish, "I hope to have a beautiful staff"
......
Well, in the eyes of sixteen-year-old Qin Qing, strength is not very important, beauty is the most important thing.
Qin Lan smiled slightly, and then took out a small and slender box wrapped from his back, this box he had carefully dressed up, and even folded a very delicate flower butterfly on it with colored paper, so it was very beautiful at first glance, Qin Lan stretched out his hand and handed it to Qin Qing, "No, eldest sister, I will give you a birthday gift." ”
"Wow, that's beautiful. Qin Yu and Qin Ji exclaimed at the same time, they had never seen such a flower butterfly, Qin Qing almost snatched it away, and gently stroked the butterfly, "Did you really give it to me?" Wow, thank you, brother." ”
"Let's open it and take a look. Qin Lan shrugged.
Carefully unpacking the package, Qin Qing took a deep breath before opening the lid...... She had already guessed what it was from the slender appearance of the box, but she couldn't believe it. After opening, sure enough, on the soft brocade cloth of the box, there was a small girl's staff, streamlined shape, especially a pink gem at the top, which was bigger than the thumb of an adult...... Moreover, several small hollow leaves were carved out of fine mythril around it, and the top of the leaf was also inlaid with several small gems, and the whole staff looked so luxurious and beautiful, almost from the moment he saw it, Qin Qing's eyes could no longer leave it.
Picking it up in surprise, Qin Qing still couldn't believe it, did he actually have such a beautiful staff? God, who else dared to laugh at himself after work?
"Is this what your father told you to pass on to your sister?...... The master is really, since he has bought it secretly, and he gives it to Qing'er, Qing'er doesn't know how happy he will be."
The adults also looked at each other in disbelief, Qin Buqun had always known that Qin Qing wanted a magic staff, but he couldn't afford it, so whether it was the eldest lady or the second lady or Qin Lan's mother Zha Hongying knew this, because they hadn't heard Qin Buqun complain once...... The second lady had a little private money, but she didn't dare to take it out, and she was going to buy a gift for her precious twin daughters next month.
"No...... I know that the eldest sister has always wanted a cane. Qin Lan shook her head, "So I secretly made one myself." ”
Qin Qing suddenly pounced, hugged Qin Lan, and kissed him on the face several times in a row, "Brother, thank you so much, if you have anything in the future, tell the eldest sister, and the eldest sister will definitely help you." ”
"......" Qin Lan smiled, although she knew that Qin Qing's kiss at the moment was only out of gratitude, but a kiss between sisters and brothers, but ...... Qin Lan also stretched out her hand to hug Qin Qing, and then squinted. The eldest sister's body is almost mature, oh, hehe, wait two or three years before you can pick it......
Of course, he didn't make this staff, but it could also be said that he did.
In fact, needless to say, everyone knows that this staff comes from the Demon Refining Pot...... With the growth of the Demon Refining Pot, especially after Qin Lan completed the twenty-five forms of cultivation in the Five Fowl Opera, a large amount of innate aura would be produced every time he completed his cultivation, and they were all unceremoniously absorbed by the Demon Refining Pot, because there was also a small inner world in the Demon Refining Pot that was slowly taking shape......
However, above this small inner world, there is also a hidden world. That was the snake demon world when the demon refining pot was a spirit body before, the source of all the snake demon stars, and everything Qin Lan had experienced in the past was in it.
The Snake Demon World is a private forbidden place unique to Qin Lan.
In the past, when he was in the main god space, Qin Lan could make the people or objects in the snake demon world manifest in reality through cards, but that was because they were all virtual worlds, and they existed because they were virtual, and now they are back in the real real world, of course, they don't have the skill of snake demon stars...... It's just that the Demon Refining Pot is not the virtual Demon Refining Pot before, but is gradually growing into a real Demon Refining Pot, although it is definitely unrealistic to want to get his own women out of it now, and even Qin Lan can't get anything out of it now, but this doesn't mean that Qin Lan has no choice...... If Qin Lan just wanted to get one or two pieces of equipment, it would be very easy.
For example, the cane given to Qin Qing, in fact, there were only three items that Qin Lan had prepared in advance, a thin wooden stick, an ordinary metal, and a high-quality gem.
The world of the Snake Demon Star was completely static, because there was no concept of time here at all, and everyone here was just Qin Lan's sealed memories and imprints. Everyone hasn't forgotten that the snake demon world built by the big snake Yuan Lu Zhi is a world that integrates the Three Kingdoms and the Warring States, and when Qin Lan is in the process of refining the demon pot spirit body, it fuses the previous sky city...... And in the Tree of Life in Sky City, there are various races on the previously fantasized Mutu Da 6.
None of their past is real, but as long as the Demon Refining Pot is given enough energy, what can't be real?
Because the demon refining pot itself is not complete, the small world inside is also very small, and now when Qin Lan enters it, it feels like it is only five or six squares, but this doesn't matter, as he cultivates more and more innate aura, the place will become bigger and bigger, and then those functions of the demon refining pot will gradually appear.
What is the greatest ability of the Demon Refining Pot?
The creation of all things, of course.
It's a pity that Qin Lan doesn't have that ability now...... So he chose to transform, using the little power in his body to transform the materials in his hands...... There is no doubt that innate aura is a good thing, but there are not many in Qin Lan's body, so it took him more than a month to transform those three inferior items into high-quality materials, and then used some aura to awaken a dwarf from the snake demon world, so that he temporarily appeared in the inner world in the form of a spirit.
The innate aura that remained in Qin Lan's body after each cultivation was able to sustain this dwarf for ten minutes.
If it appears in the real world, of course a dwarf with only a spirit body can't do anything, because the soul body can't pick up any physical objects and things, but in the world inside the demon refining pot, there is not much difference between the soul body and the human body...... This is just to say that natural behavior, of course, the truth is still different from the real life body, and many things in the soul body are restricted.
The dwarves took over the staff...... At first, the progress was slow, but after Qin Lan gradually got some tools, the dwarf's degree began to speed up, ten minutes a day, and after more than half a month, the staff was finally completed, and then Qin Lan recruited another elf craftsman and asked her to decorate the staff...... Those little Mithril leaves came from her hand.
There was no doubt that although it took nearly two months, the final work of this staff was a success, and Qin Qing's expression of love now was enough to prove it.
That is, from this day on, the relationship between Qin Qing and Qin Lan's two sisters and brothers became much closer all of a sudden, especially the next day Qin Qing went home with a proud expression, and the first thing she did was to hold her younger brother and gnaw wildly, the staff that Qin Lan gave her made her show off in front of her classmates, and ...... Is this just a good-looking rod?
The answer is no, now the gap between Qin Qing, who only has second-order strength, and the classmates is really not big, even if there are some guys in the class who are already third-order strength, but in the case that they are still low-level, this little gap, a good staff is enough to make up for it. And the staff that Qin Lan gave her came from the hand of a dwarf who was skilled in forging.
Will the things forged by the dwarves have an ordinary appearance? Otherwise, don't you think it will take half a month to set a gem on a stick?
Qin Qing is killing all sides in the class today, and this staff that increases her spell ability by 3oo% is definitely better than the top goods sold on the market, so her richest and most show-off classmate was ruthlessly defeated by Qin Qing today, so you can imagine Qin Qing's excitement.
However, Qin Buqun was very surprised by Qin Lan's sudden appearance of this ability for a while...... You made this staff?
Qin Buqun just asked curiously, because he didn't understand the value of this staff at all, he was just surprised that Qin Lan was able to make such a beautiful thing, and how did this gem come from?
Oh, it was cut from the ** necklace you gave me earlier.
Is the gemstone on that necklace so beautiful? How do I not remember buying this high-end product?
Oh, that's a stall, a fake gem for twenty copper coins, otherwise do you think my mom would let me pick it?...... Qin Lan pursed her lips in disdain.
Qin Buqun decided to stop this topic, and if he continued to talk about it, he would be even more embarrassed.
But unexpectedly, two days later, he suddenly received an invitation, an invitation from an official of the ministry, inviting him to a party. The person who came was in charge of the promotion and appointment of all officials, Qin Buqun didn't dare to refuse, so he went to the meeting, but now he didn't know this big man at all, and then after some greetings, he knew the real reason why people invited him.
It turned out that the daughter of this big official happened to be Qin Qing's classmate, the richest and most show-off guy, since she was pressed down by the staff in Qin Qing's hand, she went home and made a fuss, and she had to ask for the staff in Qin Qing's hand. And this big official only has such a precious daughter, so he naturally loves it very much, so he immediately said that he wanted to buy it for her...... However, in this remote part of the Xinglan Empire, where can you buy things forged by dwarves?after all, her daughter already has the best staff that can be found on the market...... And if he asks someone to buy it in another country, it will take a long time not to mention, and the price will be unbearable even for him.
Therefore, his intention to feast Qin Buqun was naturally for the staff in Qin Qing's hand, indicating that he was willing to pay twice the market price to buy it...... At first, Qin Buqun just excused himself, he knew that the staff was made by Qin Lan, so he thought that the staff was just good-looking, and it didn't have any practicality, and if it was sold to this big official at a high price, wouldn't it be a deception to others......
I have to say that Qin Buqun is too kind and upright.
But this official obviously had the determination to win, he saw that Qin Buqun was dead and did not let go, so he had a trace of annoyance, "One thousand gold coins, one price, this is the limit of what I can get, can you sell it or not...... I really don't believe you'll buy it for more than a thousand."
One...... A thousand gold coins??
Qin Buqun immediately fainted, after all, his monthly salary was only three gold coins, and a thousand gold coins was equivalent to thirty years of his work
"Your Excellency...... It's not that the lower officials don't sell...... To tell you the truth, this staff was not purchased by the lower officials, but a birthday gift made by the dog himself for his sister, and the materials used were ...... Extremely inferior" Qin Buqun was not stupid after all, and obviously saw that the eyes of this big official were full of anger, so he confessed directly.
"You're a liar...... If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, and if you still find this kind of reason, you can go......" But at this time, the senior official was already very annoyed, and even directly issued an eviction order.
Qin Buqun returned home inexplicably...... Although he was angry, he didn't leak it on his child's body, but asked Qin Lan again at night, your sister's magic staff was really made by you?
Of course, Qin Lan gave him a strange look, what happened?
Qin Buqun didn't hide anything from his precious son, so he said that someone wanted to buy this magic staff today, and then touched Qin Lan's head, "Since you said that you did it yourself, then I didn't lie, I have to be worthy of my own conscience of heaven and earth, this is enough." ”
“......”
"Are you stupid? No wonder you can't get promoted for decades. Qin Lan suddenly burst out.
"What do you say, I'm your father, how can you say that about me. Qin Buqun was taken aback, and then he straightened his face, "Lan'er, I'm teaching you that you must be upright, and you must not deceive others for some small profits, this kind of behavior is not advisable at all, even if you get a benefit for a while, you will still spit it out in the future, you know?"
"Well, don't teach me a lesson, it's not that you don't sell your sister's staff when I say you're stupid...... In fact, I don't agree to sell it, it was my birthday present to her. Qin Lan waved her hand, "However, I can do one, and of course I can do the second one...... A thousand gold coins, you can buy a lot of things, and the birthdays of the second and third sisters are approaching, are you hiding out empty-handed?"
"......" Qin Buqun was dumbfounded, why didn't he think of this?
"Moreover, you also said that the other party is a big official of the ministry, and he has a good relationship with him, and he will give you a hand when he has a heart, are you still afraid that you will not be promoted?" Now you are ......" Qin Lan shook his head speechlessly, turned around and left, "You can't save it." ”
"......" Qin Buqun was stunned for a long time when his son said this, and then he hammered his head hard, "I am really a pig...... Huh, why did Lan'er suddenly have such a shrewd idea? In this way, my son is obviously better than me in terms of being an official."
......
The matter passed like this, Qin Buqun was driven away by that big official, so naturally it was not good to be cheeky and go back and beg him to say that I have a magic staff to sell to you...... However, two days later, Qin Buqun received another invitation letter from that official, inviting him to meet in a teahouse in the imperial capital.
And as soon as they met this time, the senior official was not even exempted from greetings, and directly took out a money ticket from the bank, "One thousand two hundred gold coins, besides, you haven't moved your position for ten years, I can help you once, do you promise to do it." ”
Qin Buqun looked at the money ticket on the table and swallowed his saliva, and then said cautiously, "My lord, I can promise you, but you need to wait for a while......"
"How?"
"The staff you fancy to the little girl is really not purchased by Xiaguan, but a birthday gift made by the dog himself for his sister, and the materials used are not very good, so Xiaguan will go to buy some good materials, and then ask the dog to make a better staff for your daughter than the staff in the hand of the little girl...... I don't know what the adults think?"
"Huh...... Is it true that you say this again?"
"No matter how bold the lower officials are, they will never dare to deceive the adults...... It was for this reason that I didn't dare to sell to adults before. Qin Buqun hurriedly bowed.
"Well, I did check your resume, and you're quite upright, so I trusted you on this point...... In that case, then you can take this money ticket back first, as if I had paid it in advance, and the material matter will not bother you, I will find a way...... I'll send someone to the house in a few days, but I don't know how long it will take to make it? The senior official also smiled bitterly.
"This ...... I don't know much about the dog's affairs, I need to go back and ask him, as for the money, since the adults bring their own materials, then the lower officials will never dare to accept it...... As long as the adults can bring more officials in the future......"
"In that case, then contact again. ”
"Yes...... My lord. ”
