The sudden change made Ding Yi frown subconsciously.

When I looked closely, I saw three middle-aged men, blocking the passage to the stairs side by side. One of them, emaciated, shriveled-skinned, was in the center, half a position further forward than the other two.

The coercion of the strong man who almost made Ding Yi ugly on the spot emanated from this person.

Suddenly!

Ding Yi, who was struggling to support, suddenly felt light.

But it was Wu Ming who sent him out to take a step forward and block all the other party's momentum: "Brother Tang, Brother Tang, Brother Fu, don't disturb outsiders because of the internal affairs of our Duobao Pavilion. You wait for me to send the guests away, and then I'll talk to you in detail when I get back. ”

The thin man sneered, without the slightest intention of compromise: "Wait for others to leave with Chi Yanjing, isn't it too late to say anything?" ”

Although from Ding Yi's point of view, he couldn't see Wu Ming's expression at the moment, but from his increasingly gloomy aura, it was not difficult to see that his mood at the moment was not beautiful.

"Alas......"

Sighing softly, Wu Ming said helplessly: "Three, those ten catties of Chiyan Crystal, since they entered the warehouse, I have submitted an application to the above for you every year, but as a result, you already know that the contribution made by the three to the Duobao Pavilion is far from enough."

If the above is not approved, what can I do?

Is it because you want that I have to keep such a precious resource in the warehouse, and not use it for the greater benefit of the Jiamu City branch? ”

Hearing this, the thin middle-aged man known as Brother Tang swept his disdainful gaze over Ding Yi: "I haven't contributed enough to Duobao Pavilion, is he enough?" ”

"That's right!"

It seemed that his patience with the person in front of him had reached the limit, and Wu Ming's tone became more and more unpolite: "According to the rules of Duobao Pavilion, our partners must bring more than three times the benefits to Duobao Pavilion in order to get the same resource tilt.

The contribution made by the Ding Ware Master has met the criteria for obtaining Chiyan Crystal, which is the conclusion reached by the headquarters after public accounting.

If Brother Tang is not satisfied, he can protest to the headquarters at any time!

If Brother Tang continues to be here and makes unreasonable trouble with the guests of our Duobao Pavilion, I will also report it truthfully to the above in accordance with the rules. If this affects Brother Tang's inheritance hall assessment quota, please don't blame Brother Tang for not being emotional! ”

Seeing that the two sides were getting stiffer and stiffer, Lianrou's voice penetrated into Ding Yi's ears in a timely manner: "The three in front of me are Tang Yuan, the chief refiner of the Jiamu City branch of the Duobao Pavilion, Tang Bing, the chief alchemist, and Fu Ying, the talisman maker, and they are also the pillars of the branch in the three aspects of refining, alchemy, and talisman making.

The right to appoint and dismiss them is in the hands of the headquarters. Even Wu Ming didn't treat them too toughly.

Damn it!

The matter of Chi Yanjing was obviously only known to Deacon Wu and me, how could it reach the ears of the three of them so quickly? ”

Only the two of you know?

Not necessarily!

Wu Ming said that he submitted an application to the headquarters and passed it before he took out Chi Yanjing. In other words, there may be a lot of people at the headquarters who know about it.

It is not surprising that some of them have a connection with the three technicians in front of them.

Regarding the intrigue within the Duobao Pavilion, Ding Yiben was not interested in participating.

But that Tang Yuan refiner, after seeing that he couldn't reason with Wu Ming, had already turned his gaze to him: "Boy, do you dare to gamble with me?" If you lose, you will obediently offer the ten catties of Chiyan Crystal. ”

When Ding Yi heard this, he said confidently: "Don't dare!" ”

Tang Yuan frowned when he heard this, but he heard Ding Yi continue: "I'm a little second-grade refiner, how dare I fight with a third-order refiner like you?"

What's more, if I lose, I have to take out the precious Chiyan Crystal, but if I win, there is no benefit, and the idiot will bet with you! ”

Although Ding Yi didn't want to cause trouble, he didn't want to provoke the master of the Jindan period. But now that trouble has come to his door, he must also eliminate his due attitude. If he behaves too weakly and gives people the impression of being weak and bullied, I am afraid that more people will want to pinch him in the future, scrape a few taels of oil from him, and all kinds of troubles will follow.

Therefore, he has no choice in this wave.

If you don't want to be rigid, you have to be rigid!

Sure enough, after hearing Ding Yi's answer, Tang Yuan's face became more and more gloomy. Then he said, "Boy, do you think my proposed gamble is unfair?" ”

Ding Yi smiled back and said euphemistically: "That's right! ”

"Good!" The soup master seemed to have been waiting for this answer for a long time, and instead of being annoyed, he said very seriously: "Then use a fair way to limit the standard of gambling to the second-order lower grade magic weapon, and the refining time is two hours."

If you lose, give me the Chiyan Crystal, and if it is me who loses, I will transfer the competition quota of that inheritance hall to you, how about it? ”

The gambling between refiners will naturally not be like the battle cultivation, directly copying the guys and working hard.

Rather, it has a separate set of fixed patterns.

As the soup master in front of him said, the standard of gambling is limited to second-order lower-grade magic weapons. The way of the competition is to find a battle cultivator from each side in the early stage of foundation building, and use the equipment they have built on the spot to conduct a duel.

In the course of the competition, the two sides can only refine second-order lower grade or lower-grade magic weapons, but they cannot exceed this limit.

For such a competition mode, Ding Yi feels that it is not unacceptable.

So, he decisively asked another key question: "The competition quota of the Inheritance Hall, what is that?" ”

The soup master turned his head to look at Wu Ming, the meaning is very simple, this kid obviously can't trust me, it's better for you to explain it to him.

Just tell the truth!

Seeing this, Wu Ming couldn't help frowning.

In his opinion, Tang Yuan's gambling method seems to be fair, but in fact, Tang Yuan still takes a great advantage.

After all, he has the background of a third-order high-grade refiner, and under the command, the ability to refine second-order low-grade magic weapons is far above Ding Yi, a rookie who has just entered the foundation building period.

It's like the current Ding Yi, refining a first-order magic weapon, he definitely has to beat any first-order refiner, it's the same reason.

From the bottom of his heart, he really wanted to help Ding Yi.

After all, Ding Yi was able to create a Qiao Wu Crystal Pot, maybe it was by luck that he created a ring of sharpness, maybe luck and a little talent, but he came up with a Qiao Wu crystal pot, a ring of sharpness, a photo box and a complete set of technical control machine tools in one go...... This cannot be described as lucky.

The only explanation is that this young refiner is a peerless genius in development!

It is foreseeable that he will definitely make more good things in the future, and building a good relationship with such a person will be beneficial to him and to Duobao Pavilion. Its value is far from being comparable to a third-order high-grade Tang Yuan.

But in the final analysis, Ding Yi can only be regarded as a partner of Duobaoge at best, and Tang Yuan is the real one of his own. Even if Wu Ming wanted to befriend this young refining genius again, it was impossible for him to be too partial, or he couldn't be too obvious.

In particular, when Ding Yi himself intends to accept the gambling contract, no matter what he says, he may even be not a person inside and out.

After a little hesitation, Wu Ming still decided to believe in Ding Yi's strength, so he said truthfully: "The Inheritance Hall does not belong to the Duobao Pavilion, but the highest hall that all monks in the Great Shu Kingdom dream of, and its competitive qualifications are an extremely precious opportunity for any monk.

But its preciousness varies from person to person.

After all, it's just a competitive qualification, and it doesn't mean that you will be able to successfully join the Inheritance Hall.

But if you can win the final victory in a series of competitions and successfully join the Hall of Inheritance...... The benefits you can get are definitely beyond your imagination! ”

After a slight pause, he added: "To put it more intuitively, if your gambling contract is put up for auction at the same time, the final transaction price of the competition quota in the Inheritance Hall will most likely be higher than the ten catties of Chiyan Crystal!" ”
