Lindsay is not a layman who can't read air.

So when he saw Eleini in the night, his first reaction was that his left hand was injured and he was not suitable for using bows and arrows, so his eyes naturally began to choose the weapons in his bag.

Rattan whip, ice badger dagger, meteorite dagger......

"Huh?"

Lindsay's pause made Aleni at the door a little overwhelmed.

The merchant girl didn't want the opportunity to slip away quietly in hesitation, so she simply walked over to Lindsay:

"Lindsay, why don't you reply, do I have something on me?"

“……”

Lindsay's face became rather eccentric.

And this attitude is enough for a shrewd businessman to react.

Alini was clever and immediately spread her hands, indicating that she did not pose any threat:

"Wait! You can't be mistaken about something, right? ”

"Lindsay, I'm just a fourth-stage businessman, and it's absolutely impossible for me to pose any threat to you!"

Aleni was quick to react.

While accurately predicting Lindsay's psychological changes, he also showed that he had no malicious intent.

Faced with such a businessman girl, Lindsay could only shake her head and sigh:

"Eleni, do you usually react so quickly?"

Aleni replied with a smile:

"A businessman who is alone is not slow to react."

"Although Mistress Quit has given me a lot of money, I don't plan to give my life to this mission."

Speaking of this, Alini's tone became a little helpless.

She looked at Lindsay earnestly, and said half-remindedly, half-tentatively:

"After all, this involves the interests of a world, but if something happens, I will be in it."

“……”

Is this going to be open and honest?

If it weren't for the conversation with the wizard just now.

Lindsay may not realize that the world of Montenegro, which she sees as a great danger, is actually of unparalleled value in the eyes of others.

Alini's temptation at this time may be a reminder of herself.

It's a show of kindness.

Lindsay's gaze froze, and at this time, soldiers on night patrol happened to appear on the street in the distance.

He didn't want to make too much noise.

He led the way back home in front, and only then did he open his mouth tentatively:

"The world of Montenegro is indeed worth a lot of money, but you should have other things to do with you looking for me so late, right?"

Aleni breathed a sigh of relief:

"My original intention is to see that you are planning to do some business here, so I want to ask if there is anything I can work with."

Lindsey asked rhetorically:

"The original idea was this, but now what?"

Aleni followed Lindsay into the house.

She saw a chair that she used to cut wood during the day, and sat down generously:

"Now, I want to have a good talk with you."

"Lindsay, as you know, I have been entrusted by Lord Quet to communicate with you, and I must be responsible for the observation work, which can easily cause some misunderstandings."

Lindsay raised her eyebrows, and her tone was subtle:

"Is it really okay to say this kind of thing directly?"

Aleni smiled:

"Honesty and lies are both very important tricks in negotiations, and I think you are better suited to the former, so here we are."

Aleni winked her left eye cutely:

"I guessed right, right?"

Lindsay shrugged her shoulders noncommittally, and the merchant girl continued:

"To put it simply, I don't want this kind of mission to ruin our relationship."

"I can't ask for a trading partner like you who can provide excellent goods."

Lindsay asked rhetorically:

"But if you spread this kind of thing out to me, Quit will be in trouble."

"There is no subordination between businessmen, but competition." A smile tugged at the corner of Eleni's mouth, "And Mistress Quette is going to be 'money is everything', and I'm going to be 'value trading'. Even from the perspective of the Awakened, we are not all the way. ”

'Money is everything'?

'Value Deal'?

This kind of topic touches on Lindsay's knowledge blind spots.

His knowledge of the Merchant as an awakened person came only from a few simple written records, followed by the Somkin in the hidden frontier.

Seeing Lindsay's hesitation, Aleni took the initiative to explain:

"The merchants of the Platinum City all regard trading as the core of their skills, but there are also differences."

"On the one hand, the idea is that money is everything in the world, and that all power revolves around it;

People like me are more concerned about the process itself, or the value that is presented in the process. ”

Lindsay immediately understood the businessman's professional differences.

It's like the three branches of the school of war, all of which are good at fighting, but there are differences in skill.

Lindsay's quick comprehension made Aleni a little moved.

For people outside of business, these concepts are not easy to understand immediately, and Lindsay, who came from a hidden frontier, seems to have a good sense of naturalism.

Thinking so, Alini's gaze shifted to the wooden shelves in the room. The shelves of white plants are already quite rudimentary, and even some functions can be seen.

"Lindsay, are you going to sell your goods here?"

Lindsey nodded:

"I have a teacher who is a botanist and he taught me a lot about this, and I should review it when I have the opportunity."

"The garden is the perfect place to be." Alini nodded approvingly, and then gave her opinion, "But if you want to do business, I still suggest you go to the south of the city." There is less foot traffic in the northeastern city, and the situation of the shops may not be easy to improve. ”

Lindsey shook her head nonchalantly:

"It's okay, I'm just here for some experiments, after all, I can't stay here forever."

Aleni asked tentatively:

"You're going to leave as soon as you're healed, do you mind telling me what time it is?"

Lindsay's estimate was 20 days.

However, in this answer, he exaggerated this range a little, and it was also a hint to the merchant girl:

"More than twenty days, almost a month."

"Hmmm......"

Aleni looked down in thought.

This answer changed her identity for Lindsay.

"In that case, we won't be able to do anything long-term."

"But Lindsay, you're new to the forest garden, so you should be planning to collect some seeds and plant samples, right?"

Speaking of this, Alini puffed out her chest:

"I'm not boasting, I'm quite confident in this regard."

Lindsey laughed and teased:

"Are you going to take all the gold I earned from you and earn it back?"

Alini got up straight from her chair:

"Hey, it's a normal flow of money."

The girl stepped forward and leaned into Lindsay's ear:

"Besides, the prices I gave you are the fairest, you should have inquired in the market, right?"

Lindsey shrugged:

"You're really well-informed."

“……”

The two chatted for half the night at Lindsay's house.

The relationship has also evolved from the previous estrangement to the feeling of being friends.

Wait until the dead of night.

Lindsay sends Alenie next door, and he goes home alone to get ready to rest, and he also sighs about the development of the night.

On the premise of having a grudge in your own heart.

The merchant girl is not only quick to realize the root of the problem.

And a few words reversed the relationship between the two, and in the end they even negotiated a deal.

"No wonder that Quett from the Riverbeach Chamber of Commerce wants to hire a different philosophistication to deal with me."

"An outstanding businessman, what a god."
