Chapter Twenty-Eight: Door-to-door Demand
Two days later.
Living room.
Meng Zhou carried a pot of freshly boiled boiling water and scalded the teacup, relaxing leisurely.
Chen Yong, who was sitting beside him, was also calm, and even cooperated from time to time, turning down the teacup and taking a tea leaf or something.
However, Chen Cong, who was sitting beside him, couldn't sit still, and wanted to speak many times.
It wasn't until the two of them drank a cup of spiritual tea that Meng Zhou looked at Chen Cong with a smile: "Ah Cong, I see that you are worried today, do you have something to say to me?" ”
Chen Cong smiled and said, "Originally, there were indeed some things I wanted to ask, but after seeing your appearance, I knew that I didn't need to ask those words." ”
What he wanted to know most was, of course, Lao Zhou's progress in making talismans.
But this is not practical, the facts are the best answer.
The last time he purchased the finished talisman for Lao Zhou, the number of traction talismans had not changed, but the cleaning talisman was only enough to clean the Yin Cellar Pool once, and the other spirit stones were diverted to purchase Bigu Dan and talisman materials.
If Lao Zhou couldn't make those talismans into finished cleaning talismans before cleaning the Yin Cellar Pool for the second time and yesterday, how could he still sit and drink tea with them so leisurely!
So, the answer is actually quite obvious.
Just recently, Lao Zhou did make a major breakthrough in talisman making.
Meng Zhou didn't hide it in front of the two brothers, and a hearty smile appeared on his face.
He took out the sealing box from the bag and opened the lid of the box, revealing the only 19 cleaning charms left inside.
"Thanks to you, with those two hundred and sixty runes, I finally opened the door to talisman making again, and I still made a slight improvement on the basis of that year, and finally the talisman success rate stabilized at about sixty percent.
However, in order to get to this point, a lot of runes were also burned. ”
Meng Zhou smiled briskly: "From now on, there is no need to buy cleaning talismans, I can make them with basic talisman materials by myself, this one in and one out, all I save is profit." ”
Chen Yong replaced wine with tea, congratulating him on taking this crucial step.
Chen Cong next to him seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't notice it, but Chen Yong kicked him lightly under the table, and then he reacted and toasted with his eldest brother.
Meng Zhou seemed unaware of Chen Cong's distraction, and happily accepted the congratulations of the two.
After drinking a cup of congratulatory tea, Meng Zhou put away the spirit sealing box and took out eleven medium-grade spirit stones and put them on the table.
Meng Zhou took out one of them and stuffed it into Chen Yong's hand.
This is the second time he has given a spirit stone to Chen Yong, and it is also a medium-grade spirit stone, but Chen Yong's reaction is the same as last time, as if his hands have been burned.
"Dude, what do you mean by that?"
"Isn't that okay? You can hold it with peace of mind, this is what you deserve! ”
Meng Zhou wanted to stuff the spirit stone into his hand, but Chen Yong resolutely didn't want to.
"It's said that it's one percent of the profit, that's one percent of the profit, but it's not profitable yet!"
"But I always feel ashamed in this way, my current success rate is only sixty percent, and I can't earn much, if it's only one percent, it's even more pitiful, compared to what you have paid these days, it's too little.
Moreover, cleaning the pit pool is my personal responsibility and should not be confused with talisman making. I used talismans to make cleaning talismans to clean the yin cellar pool, which should also be considered profitable, and I can't let your brothers suffer this loss. ”
Chen Yong was still pushing with Meng Zhou, and Chen Cong next to him was quietly relieved when he heard this.
The two gave in, Chen Yong thought about it and spoke again.
"Brother Zhou, you think this is good."
"You say."
"Let's use all these spirit stones as expenses for buying runes, and we can get 440 basic runes.
According to your current sixty percent success rate, you can get 264 talismans, sell them as spirit stones, and then deduct the cost, you can probably net a profit of 220 low-grade spirit stones.
According to the agreement, I will share one of them, what do you think? ”
Meng Zhou shook his head: "No, it's too little." ”
Chen Yong smiled: "It's really not much now, but when your talisman level comes up, isn't this a matter of rising tides." ”
Seeing that they were about to hold each other again, Meng Zhou said: "Then you can also listen to my opinion." ”
"You say."
"According to your algorithm, it's 66 lower-grade spirit stones a month, so I'll just make it up.
When my success rate comes up in the future, I will transfer it back, which is equivalent to giving you a guarantee, what do you think? ”
“…… Okay, thank you Brother Zhou. ”
Chen Yong finally agreed, but he still resolutely refused to accept the medium-grade spirit stone in Meng Zhousai's hand, saying that he would not take it until the end of this month.
Seeing that he insisted, Meng Zhou didn't entangle anymore.
With that said, the rest is pretty straightforward.
Meng Zhou pushed all eleven medium-grade spirit stones in front of the two brothers, and put forward the purchase needs this time.
There are 36 talismans, 300 copies of talismans, and all the remaining spirit stones are used to buy Lingmi Ling Tea.
……
After the two brothers left, Meng Zhou felt relaxed.
The reason why I did the scene with Chen Yong just now was because I only wanted to fish the two brothers as much as possible when I painted the cakes, and some problems were not clarified at the beginning.
For example, he made his own talismans for his own use, which was the blind spot of the original agreement.
And with his current sixty percent success rate, if the part of self-control is deducted, there is basically no profit.
Even if this part is also counted in the profit, the success rate of sixty percent is still destined to have very little profit, and one percent of the dividends are even more invisible.
Meng Zhou, who had already concealed his 100% success rate from the two brothers, decided to give them a guarantee.
Originally, if it was just to meet the needs of the next two Yin Cellar Pool cleanings, there was no need to buy 300 runes, 200 copies were enough.
But who told him that his current success rate is only 60%?
If you tell a lie, you have to use more lies to round it up.
But fortunately, although it still requires a spirit stone to be broken in half, it finally makes the whole situation that is about to freeze slowly turn.
Although at the beginning of this restart, there will inevitably be some creaky places, but Meng Zhou believes that it will become smoother and smoother in the future.
……
After Chen Cong delivered everything he had purchased according to his needs to him, Meng Zhou once again turned on the talisman at full speed.
When the first day ended, Meng Zhou, who had made sixty cleaning talismans, took another step forward in his mastery of cleaning talismans, and advanced from Xiaocheng to Dacheng.
The speed of talisman production has been further increased, with six talismans per hour, and correspondingly, the experience gain is more difficult, and you can only gain 1 experience for every three clean talismans successfully crafted.
When the total reserve of Cleansing Charms reached 181, which was enough to clean the Yin Cellar Pool for the next two times, he temporarily stopped crafting Cleansing Charms.
Instead, all the remaining runes were used to try a new basic talisman and draw on the crafting of talismans.
At the beginning of trying to make this new talisman, Meng Zhou failed without suspense.
This time, he didn't rush to ask Bai Zhi for advice with the failed works, he wanted to try whether he could clear the level by himself.
Of course, there was another reason for this, and that was that he didn't want her to show her talent for talisman making.
The cleaning charm went from beginner to completion in a short period of time, and the changes it brought to him were not only in the cleaning charm, but also made his understanding of the talisman much more transparent, and the touch was completely different from the feeling when he explored the entry of the cleaning charm before.
Meng Zhou had a hunch that although there would be some failures in getting started with the traction talisman, it would definitely be much easier than cleaning the talisman.
Before you know it, it's time to clean the pit again.
Meng Zhou, the house cultivator, finally had to go out of the house, and after informing the two brothers of the Chen family, he went to the direction of the mountain protection array.
In the afternoon, Meng Zhou, who had completed today's task, exchanged entry and exit tokens and walked back.
When passing through a small forest a few hundred steps away from his small courtyard, a figure suddenly flashed out of the forest and happened to stop in front of Meng Zhou.
Meng Zhou was startled in his heart, stopped and took two steps back, frowned and looked at the figure that suddenly burst out, and immediately asked.
"Tan Kaiming, are you crazy?"
It was Tan Kaiming who blocked his way.
The other party didn't respond to his question, just stared at a pair of eyes with more whites and fewer black pupils, and stared at him with a strange gaze that squinted slightly.
The placement of his hands and the way his legs stand give him a strange sense of awkwardness.
Being watched by him in such a way, Meng Zhou had a sense of being stared at by Tang Shi'er.
If this was just a hairy thing in his heart, the words he uttered when he opened his mouth made him almost jump on the spot, and his hair stood on end.
"Give me back the Blood Spell Book!"
