"Haha, let me say, brother, you're definitely interested. When the thin monkey saw Chen Li stop, he immediately followed with a smile.
Chen Li raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "What is there to bet on this thundering skill book?"
The thin monkey coughed, and his eyebrows fluttered: "Let's bet now on whether the price of this thundering magic skill book can exceed 17 taels of gold!"
"Oh? and this is the saying?" Chen Lidi's interest immediately came up, this is the skill book he sells, "What are you gambling on now?"
The thin monkey smiled, and the small notebook he was holding immediately covered up, blocking Chen Li's sight, and said, "Of course, this is a gamble or something, mainly depending on what you think, brother." ”
Chen Li pursed his lips, it was useless for the thin monkey to cover it, his spiritual power had already seen the content clearly.
At present, the number of people who can bet more than 17 taels of gold and those who cannot exceed 17 taels of gold account for half of them, which is a good situation.
Most of these bettors have placed a few taels of silver, after all, they are not rich people, and they take out a few taels of silver to make a little money.
As for whether the price will exceed 17 taels of gold, they are also not sure.
At present, most of the people who can afford to buy skill books are big families who will buy more family heirloom skills for the sake of the prosperity of the family.
Those poor people can only learn the arts, or rely on family heirlooms, or even go out to do adventurer quests, etc., to get some scraps. The skills learned were almost not very strong.
"Hey, brother. Look at how much you want to play? The odds of more than 17 taels and no more than 17 taels are one to two!" The thin monkey saw that Chen Li had already moved, so he said together.
Chen Li grinned. took out 50 taels of silver, paddled it, and said, "I bet 50 taels of silver, and this thundering skill will exceed 17 taels of gold!"
The smile on the thin monkey's face instantly stiffened, he really didn't expect Chen Li to take out so many silver taels.
50 taels of silver!
That's 50 taels of silver, and he received a total of 70 or 80 taels of silver......
"What's the matter?, is there a problem?" Chen Li immediately asked when he saw the appearance of the thin monkey.
The thin monkey reacted, coughed embarrassedly, and said again and again, "No problem!
This thundering skill book can be more than 17 taels?
As an old fritter in the auction house, how could Thin Monkey not know the price of these skill books? He expected that the price could not exceed 17 taels of gold. That's why I gambled like this.
"Hehe, this is good, I earned another 50 taels of silver. The thin monkey couldn't help but be overjoyed, and secretly said that he had good luck today, and he went out and met a brainless thing.
Chen Li smiled faintly and said, "Don't run away when the time comes." ”
"Naturally, it won't, don't worry!" said the thin monkey with a smile, he is an expert in private gambling in auction houses, has he ever lost?
Chen Li didn't think about it so much. This thundering skill book may not reach 17 taels of gold, but can't he add a fire?
It's really not good, and when the time comes, I will find Zhao Anning to do a small favor, and buy back the thundering skill book with 17 taels of gold, and he will also make a net profit of 100 taels of silver. That's also 1 tael of gold.
A sure-fire deal!
The two of them had their own thoughts, laughing and parting.
In a good mood, Chen Li left the auction house and bought some fruits to take home.
Zhao Anning is no longer alone at home. And the white elf she bought from the slave traders, she has a nice name - Hatsuun.
Chen Li contacted her many times. It can be found that this little girl's jealousy and defensiveness of people have not weakened at all, she is like a hedgehog full of thorns. No one can touch her.
Thinking of this little girl, Chen Li couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only shake his head.
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Chen Li saw Zhao Anning sitting in the courtyard with a depressed face, looking at the door with his eyes open, as if he was waiting for him to come back.
"Oh my God, my young master, you're finally back!" As soon as he saw Chen Li, Zhao Anning rushed over, as if he had seen a rare formula.
Chen Li smiled faintly and asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?" ”
I saw that Zhao Anning pursed her mouth, raised her right hand full of grievances, and said, "Young master, look, that little girl in Chuyun doesn't know anything at all, and she actually bit off a piece of meat for me." It hurts so much that I can't refine the medicine at all. ”
Chen Li was stunned, Chu Yun bites?
hurriedly asked about the situation, and Chen Li was completely helpless.
It turned out that this Zhao Anning went to deliver food to Chu Yun when Chen Li was not at home, but because he got too close, he was bitten hard by this little girl.
Looking at the gauze wrapped around his wrist, Chen Li took out a bottle of primary healing medicine and said, "Wipe it on, go rest, and just get some sleep." ”
Zhao Anning nodded, glanced in the direction where Chu Yun was, and left with a look of jealousy.
"Hey, this little girl is really not a worry-free person. Chen Li sighed and walked towards the place where Chu Yun was.
Chu Yun's room is next to Zhao Anning, and when he is fine, Chu Yun will always come to Zhao Anning's side, watching him make potions, and seems to be a little interested in potions, maybe there is really nothing to do.
When he came to the room where Zhao Anning made the potion, Chu Yun was still here, and there was a spilled food in front of him.
Chen Li shook his head, found a piece of food, put it in front of Chu Yun, and said, "Eat, don't be hungry." ”
After finishing speaking, he didn't care about this little girl anymore, and Chu Yun still looked at Chen Li with a wary face, looking at the food with a twinkle in his eyes.
Chen Li was busy, he had no other arrangements today, and it was also a good choice to make a few bottles of potions while he had time.
In a trance, Chen Li felt that Chu Yun was a bit similar to Xiao Hei, and they were both wary of him.
At the beginning, Xiao Hei was also like Chu Yun, although he stayed very quietly, but the things in his bones could not be changed.
As time passed, their relationship gradually eased. Until now, Xiao Hei is very close to Chen Li.
Chen Li really wanted to see Chu Yun and Xiao Hei let go of his guard. Live a normal life.
Chu Yun squatted in the corner, his stomach was already rumbling with hunger. But she didn't dare to eat it. From time to time, I will see what Chen Li is busy with.
In such a tangled struggle, Chu Yun watched Chen Li finish the work at hand, sat on the bed, and began to meditate.
Although Chen Li was meditating, his spiritual power had always controlled everything around him, and he only let go when he saw Chu Yun quietly pick up the food and eat it in a big gulp.
Chu Yun, who was full of food and drink, fell asleep comfortably, and Chen Li waited for her to fall asleep. Quietly got up and brought the quilt to cover her.
Looking at that beautiful face, Chen Li shook his head slightly, didn't say a word, and continued to meditate and cultivate.
Chu Yun and Xiao Hei have a difference, Xiao Hei was with Chen Li when he was not conscious, and after a long time, he gradually developed a relationship of dependence.
And Chu Yun was bought back by Chen Li, and she already had enough wisdom to understand. I also understand that many humans will do things to themselves, and this kind of vigilance will not disappear for a while.
Chen Li is not in a hurry, he has seen people's hearts for a long time, and it has been a long time. There will always be change.
......
Early the next morning, Chen Li was still cultivating in the courtyard when a knock on the door interrupted him.
Chen Li opened the door. He looked at the servant who interrupted his cultivation with a somewhat bad face: "Have you forgotten my words?"
The servant immediately shuddered with fright and stammered, "That." Few...... Master, someone is looking for you. ”
"Who?" Chen Li raised his eyebrows. I don't know if it's someone I'm waiting for.
"He said that he was Zhou Ye, the leader of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group. The servant hurriedly said, but he wondered in his heart, some time ago, it was a popular figure from the Apothecary Guild who came to him, and now it was the leader of the famous mercenary group in Wind and Snow City who came to him, what did Chen Li do to make friends with such a character.
Chen Li nodded and said, "Lead the way." ”
In the living room of the Chen Mansion, Chen Xiao, the patriarch of the Chen family, was sitting on the main seat and chatting with Zhou Ye about something.
Seeing Chen Li coming in, he immediately said, "Chen Li, Head Zhou is looking for you." ”
Chen Xiao didn't understand very much, some time ago, the Pharmacists Guild came to accept Chen Li as an apprentice for a reason, what did Zhou Ye, the leader of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, come to Chen Li for?
Looking at Jiashi, it doesn't look like he's here to find trouble, could it be that Chen Li has any friendship with Zhou Ye?
All kinds of thoughts were tumbling in his mind, Chen Xiao was very happy about Chen Li's changes, he was no longer the waste he used to be, he had grown up now and been motivated.
But he was still a little worried that Chen Li would provoke people who shouldn't be provoked.
"Haha, Brother Chen, I'm really sorry, I went out yesterday for something, and it was already late when I went back, so I ......" Zhou Ye got up and said, enthusiastically taking the initiative to talk to Chen Li.
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, and then returned to normal.
This Zhou Ye called Chen Li's brother, this is a title that belongs to the relationship between the equals, which is enough to see Zhou Ye's attention to Chen Li.
Could it be ......
Chen Xiao's mind was racing, and he suddenly felt that Chen Li had become extremely unfamiliar. He had to start re-examining Chen Li and repositioning this former waste teenager.
"Brother Zhou, didn't I say that you can find someone to inform me? Why do you still run in person. Chen Li said politely that the relationship between the two is based on interests, and it has not yet reached the point of going too deep, and there should still be politeness that should be done.
Zhou Ye waved his hand and said, "Brother Chen, when did you become so polite?"
Chen Li smiled faintly and said to Chen Xiao: "Second uncle, I have something to talk about with Brother Zhou, so let's go first." ”
Forehead......
Chen Xiao's body stiffened, he really didn't expect Chen Li to say this, it was superfluous to dislike himself.
After all, he is the head of a family, Chen Xiao waved his hand calmly and said, "Okay, come back for dinner at noon, I have already ordered someone to prepare." ”
"Ah, Patriarch Chen, don't bother. Next time I have a chance, I invite you to have a drink with Brother Chen!" Zhou Ye hurriedly said, he didn't have the slightest interest in Chen Xiao, so naturally he wouldn't have anything to eat with him.
Chen Xiao was helpless, and could only watch the figures of Chen Li and Zhou Ye disappear at the door. (To be continued......)
