Chapter 63: Winning the Jackpot
Soon, a group of buyers were attracted by the shouts of the two people, and after looking at the war bead, they began to talk to the two about the price.
"Young man, how much are you going to sell this orb?" asked a fat man with small eyes but bright eyes.
"How much can you pay?" Ye Xingxing really didn't know the market of Zhanzhu, so he had to kick the ball to the other party.
"You tell me the price first, let's discuss!" said the fat man.
"You can make a price first. Ye Xingxing kicked the ball back again.
"Okay! An ordinary war bead like you, the price of the black market should be around 50,000. I'll give you fifty-five thousand!" said the fat man very generously.
"This ......" Ye Xingxing and Xiao Zhuang quickly exchanged glances, scratched their heads and said, "Fifty-five thousand...... Fifty-five thousand...... Isn't it a little lower?"
"The fifty-six thousand, it's far beyond the black market price!Alas, hemorrhage!" the fat man gritted his teeth, looking distressed.
"Give me a little more...... I'll sell it if there's more!" Ye said happily.
"I'll give 60,000!" the fat man didn't say anything, and a thin man next to him immediately spoke.
The fat man soaked in the war bead area of the city that never sleeps every day, making a living by reselling war beads and earning the price difference, he saw at a glance that Ye Xingxing and Xiao Zhuang were two "business chicks", and deceived them into not understanding the war bead market, so he came up and gave the lowest price, who knew that someone inserted a bar sideways, and directly raised the price to 60,000.
"I'll give sixty-one!" The fat man glanced at the thin man with some indignation, as if he blamed him for blocking his way to make money.
"Sixty-five thousand!"
"Seventy thousand!"
This time the thin man didn't say anything, and two more people joined the "war group".
Seventy thousand is really the same as the black market price of ordinary war beads, the fat man sighed secretly, thinking that even if he got this war bead this time, he might not be able to make much money, but his business has not opened today, and this time it may be the last chance, so he gritted his teeth and quoted the price of seventy-five thousand.
"Seventy-six thousand!" The thin man originally wanted to give up the bid, but seeing Ye Xingxing looking at him, he lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and added a thousand.
"Eighty thousand!" The fat man was furious, and directly raised the price to the psychological bottom line that he could follow, in fact, an ordinary war bead can be sold for eighty thousand, which is definitely a high price in the black market, even if someone adds another dollar, the fat man plans to flash directly.
The people who bid for the war beads with the fat man are either the buyers who often come here, or the war bead dealers who are the same as the fat man, none of them are fools, seeing that the price of the war beads has been increased to the highest by the fat man, and the fat man looks like he is bound to win, so he has to shake his head and leave, no longer competing with him.
At the management office of Zhanzhu District, Ye Xingxing and the fat man handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and after Ye Xingxing paid a management fee to the management office, the rest of the money and Xiao Zhuang were half loaded on their bodies, and they left together happily.
The two of them walked around the city that never sleeps, and although they felt that it was not long, they found that it was past nine o'clock in the evening when they came out, so they took a hovering taxi and went directly to the Friendship Hospital.
"Ye Xingxing, the two of us are now carrying a huge amount of money, what if we encounter a guy with bad intentions robbing money?" When the taxi drove to a dimly lit and secluded small street, Xiao Zhuang touched a few federal coins stuffed in his pocket and joked in a low voice.
"Please, you're a martial arts cultivator, and you're afraid of robbers?"
"Why aren't you afraid? Recently, the public security situation in Zhongdu City is not very good, there have been many thefts and robberies, and I heard that some robbers are also from martial arts backgrounds, and their strength is very strong!"
Ye Xingxing smiled: "When you encounter a robber with super strength, the odds are about the same as winning a federal lottery jackpot, right?
The two whispered and laughed, and suddenly noticed that there were fewer and fewer street lights in front of them, and it seemed that the taxi was driving to the outskirts of the city.
Ye Xingxing and Xiao Zhuang have not been in Zhongdu for a long time, and they are not very familiar with the road conditions here, after the two of them got into the taxi, they only told the driver the destination, and let the driver pull it, but they didn't expect the driver to pull the two of them out into the wilderness.
"Hey, Master Driver, you seem to be going the wrong way, right? We're going to the Friendship Hospital!" Xiao Zhuang shouted as he patted the driver's backrest.
"It's going to the Friendship Hospital, I'm taking a short road!" The driver didn't look back, and the car drove faster.
Ye Xingxing and Xiao Zhuang were both sitting in the back seat of the taxi, Ye Xingxing suddenly looked up, and found that the maglev taxi driver had a black hood on his head at some point, and his exposed eyes were looking at himself and Xiao Zhuang from the rear mirror, and his eyes were like a butcher looking at two lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"Stop!
Ye Xingxing shouted loudly, and at the same time secretly pulled Xiao Zhuang with his hand, signaling him to be more vigilant.
"You can't stop here!!!," the driver said.
"Damn, there's not even a shadow of a road patrol here, the ghost is here to fine you? Stop!**Stop!" Xiao Zhuang was anxious, knowing that this driver was not a good thing, he leaned forward and punched the driver's head.
Being able to enter the First Martial Arts Academy in Zhongdu, Xiao Zhuang's strength has also reached the level of a sixth-rank star martial artist, although his punch is just thrown at random, the strength is not light, but he didn't expect the driver's head to be slightly biased, so he easily avoided his fist, and then slammed on the brakes under his feet, pulled out the car key, and at the same time as opening the car door, the person had already rushed out, sneering and standing in front of the taxi.
Ye Xingxing and Xiao Zhuang also left the taxi as fast as they could, confronting the driver.
"Grandma, what do you mean by pulling us here?" Xiao Zhuang glared at the driver and said angrily.
The driver smiled, pointed to the black hood on his head, and said in a weird manner: "You are stupid, you don't understand what I mean when you see me wearing this thing? I am a taxi driver, but my other identity is a robber." Hand over your money, and I can get you out safely!"
Black hood, a classic equipment necessary for robbers to commit crimes!
Xiao Zhuang froze, his hands involuntarily touched a few stacks of federal coins on his body, and at the same time, he couldn't wait to slap his two mouths, he didn't say anything about robbers just now, but now it's okay, he really bumped into it, he is really a crow's mouth!
"Our money will only be given to those who need it most! If you want to snatch it, it's not that easy!" Ye Xingxing said, he looked much calmer than Xiao Zhuang.
This is life-saving money to be handed over to the tower, and it must not be easily snatched by others!
In recent months, Ye Xingxing has encountered several robberies, the first time was to save Duanmu Rong in Qianlong Park in Xidu, the second time was on the maglev train to Zhongdu City, and the most recent time was when he himself became a "robber" and snatched a war pearl from others, and now he has met a taxi driver to rob him...... Ye Xingxing felt that he was really close to the "robbers".
"It can be seen that you two boys are both martial arts cultivators, this age is ...... Which martial arts academy should you still be cultivating, right?, no matter how strong you are, how can you go?" The taxi driver looked at him with contempt in his eyes and said triumphantly: "You seem to have said something like this just now: 'Encountering a robber with super strength is about the same as the chance of winning a federal lottery jackpot!'
As he spoke, a breath of aura had already diffused out of his body, quickly forming a powerful aura, enveloping Ye Xingxing and Xiao Zhuang together.
After Xiao Zhuang felt the surging aura of the other party, he knew that his strength was too much stronger than his own, and he couldn't help but be taken aback.
"This driver...... No, the strength of this robber should be between a fifth-rank star martial artist and a fourth-rank star martial artist, right? Well, he is indeed a very powerful robber. But...... I'm not weaker than him!" After Ye Xingxing sensed the true strength of the other party, he was a lot more relieved, thinking that he could join forces with Xiao Zhuang to compete with the other party.
"I know! I know who he is!" Xiao Zhuang's eyes kept staring at the driver, and suddenly pointed at him and shouted, "When we were selling war pearls in the war bead trading area, you were next to that fat man! You are the thin man! Hmph, don't think it's safe to wear a condom on your head, haven't you been recognized by me?"
Hearing Xiao Zhuang say this, Ye Xingxing also looked at the other party carefully, when selling war beads, he had an intersection with the thin man's gaze, and at this time, he met his eyes exposed outside the hood, and really felt familiar, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhuang to be so careful.
The driver's body stiffened, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and after a moment of silence, he sneered a few times, ripped off his hood, and was not the thin man in the battle bead auction hall?
"I just wanted to grab the money, but you forced me to silence me...... It's just that you recognize me!" The driver's face was hideous, and he slowly approached Ye Xingxing and Xiao Zhuang, with a grim look on his thin face.
"If you kill us, we will be hunted down by the Federal Police Department! We will go to prison! We will ruin our lives! Just for the tens of thousands of federal coins we get from selling war beads, is it worth it?" Ye Xingxing asked.
"I already have eight lives on my hands, and I don't mind adding you two!"
"That's it......" Ye Xingxing sighed, it seems that he met a bandit today, as expected, he should have a place in the list of felons of the Federal Police Department.
"Ye Xingxing, what should I do?" Xiao Zhuang knew that Ye Xingxing's strength was much stronger than his own, so he moved closer to him.
In front of this powerful and seemingly extremely ferocious opponent, it is almost impossible to escape, Xiao Zhuang sighed in his heart why he was so unlucky, and at the same time, he was ready to join forces with Ye Xingxing.
"He's going to kill us, what do you say? In order to save his life, I can only fight him to the death! Xiao Zhuang, build up confidence, let's fight one for two, there is hope to win!" Ye Xingxing said loudly.
