Chapter Ninety-Nine: What Asia Can't See, I Can See Through at a Glance
Jiang Qin walked outside and asked by the way, "By the way, what is the current exchange rate?" β
"Originally, the Screaming Coin was two to one against the chicken wings, but now because of the war, most creatures are generally optimistic about the White Court and do not trust Night City under the leadership of Mihan, and there is already a trend of running. Anyway, the price of our chicken wings here has flown to the sky, and ten screaming coins may not be able to exchange for one chicken wing. β
"By that way, Night City is waging a war that is bound to fail?"
"Yes, at least on paper, Night City is no match for the White Court anyway, even if the White Court has to be distracted against the Black Court. After all, when the white moon is in the sky, Mihan is only a duke. If nothing else, Scream Coin will continue to fall until Night City's finances collapse. β
"Look, the current exchange rate has reached fifteen and nine, but Mihan is not a fool, he may really have the ability to lead the aliens back to the world. If you're willing to take a risky gamble, you might be able to hoard Scream Coins on a massive scale at this time. The ghost old man blinked ambiguously.
"I don't like business." Jiang Qin refused, "You know I don't have any money. β
He instinctively felt that the profiteer was lying to him.
"You can use some of the rights in Frontier City as collateral."
Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm not a city lord on the border. β
"We're sure you'll be sooner or later, so do you want to take an investment? Mr. Jiang Qin, my requirements are not high, just let me be responsible for managing the transit and transportation of goods at the border. β
Jiang Qin asked in confusion, "Is there still oil and water in this place?" Such a remote place. β
The border city is located in the central plateau of the Eurasian continent.
There is no developed land transportation and no unique specialties here, the economy is good but far from prosperous, and it stands to reason that there should not be too many transit goods.
"That's just the perception of ordinary human beings. You must know that due to some gods, North Africa and Europe are not allowed to interact directly with the creatures of the Inner World, and there are strict seals there. As a borderland, it is relatively safe under the white moon, but it happens to fulfill the function of a transit station. It is a place where the entire world is carried. β
"Sounds great."
"Of course, if you are willing to become the lord of the city, then the profit of these goods is enough to match the profit of half the night city, and you must have an outlier who is good at money to manage it, so as not to mess around."
Jiang Qin nodded, but did not give an immediate reply, and the ghost old man did not ask any more.
"By the way, Mr. Jiang Qin, you may want to pay attention. The Eidolon of North Africa have recently shown great greed for Frontier City, and they are likely to want to gain control of Frontier City before you. β
"Eidolon?"
As publishers of the Street Light newspaper, they really needed a place with easy access.
But Jiang Qin didn't care much about them, after all, the image of the night spirit girl in the gladiatorial arena who liked to raise the bar and was very cowardly made him unable to feel any threat.
In any case, for the sake of their own safety and that of the people around them, the border city must be controlled by itself.
Although I, Jiang Qin, was only a lecturer before, it's not that I can't try to be a city lord.
Bidding farewell to this ghostly old man who was the president, Jiang Qin walked out of the school and walked on the way to the bookstore.
Passing through a shopping street, most of the pedestrians had satisfied smiles on their faces, unaware that war had begun on another level.
The bright lights pulled Jiang Qin into the modern society, and he was still a little in a trance.
If nothing else, he would have been one of the people.
Walking to the door of the bookstore, Jiang Qin found that the bookstore was closed.
Rare.
"Why are you blocking the door?" Suddenly there was Xuanli's voice behind him.
This really scared Jiang Qin, after all, he had never seen Xuan Li walking out of the bookstore.
He had maliciously thought that Xuanli was an earthbound spirit who couldn't leave her soft collapse.
For example, the bookstore is actually a seal, occupying the Xuanli Snake as the Demon King.
Xuan Li stood in front of him, looking a little more human under the colorful neon lights in the distance. The black dress swayed in the wind, making the uninhabited alley more quiet and elegant.
She carried a bag in her hand, which seemed to be the more popular clothes at the moment, which made Jiang Qin realize that she was also a girl, not a dull and indifferent deep girl.
In this way, it seems that he has never brought any serious gifts to Xuanli? I always thought that Xuanli didn't need to come.
"Why did you get out?" Jiang Qin asked a very stupid question, but he didn't know how to open his mouth for a while, and he couldn't say, "Have you eaten?" "At the beginning, he hadn't seen Xuanli eat.
"Can't I come out?" Xuan Li blocked the bag in her hand behind her, it seemed a little cramped, she probably didn't want Jiang Qin to see that she would be as vulgar as ordinary women to indulge in these beautiful clothes, "Also, don't block the door of the bookstore and affect my business!" β
Jiang Qin took out the key and unscrewed the door lock that looked ancient and had a complex pattern, invited Xuanli in, and then hung up the closing sign with his hand, he glanced at the clothes in the paper bag, and said casually: "The cheongsam is indeed very suitable for you." β
"You didn't buy it for me...... Xuanli's ears were already red, and the indifference in her eyes almost collapsed into shyness, she gasped softly and said, "These are all for Valentina." β
Xuanli quickly hid the paper bag in a pile of books, and then sat down on the soft collapse.
She saw Jiang Qin's private closing card, and her simple and deep eyes revealed a little disgust and reasonableness, and said, "What are you doing again?" β
Jiang Qin cheekily said, "It's just that I miss my fiancΓ©e a little." β
"Cut, shameless." Xuan Li said this, but shook his upper body slightly to show pleasure, his fingertips rubbed on the barrel of the pen, and he wrote some unusually soft words in the diary.
Randomly, she glanced at Jiang Qin, and then suddenly asked, "What about the snake fall?" β
Jiang Qin was shocked, as if he had forgotten this stubble.
If he lent Xuanli's home to another woman who was close to him, then what would happen?
It doesn't feel like anything too good is going to happen.
"Don't lie to me." Xuan Li said word by word.
Jiang Qin didn't dare to hide it anymore, in the face of Xuanli, he had always been soft-hearted, full of care, and truthfully invited.
Skip what happened that night, of course.
After Xuanli listened, his fingertips clicked on the wooden counter, and "da-da" was like a hammer hitting Jiang Qin's head.
She was silent.
