Chapter 022: It's hard to buy an inch of time
After sending Old Lady Liu away, Zhuang Buzhou did not leave the space on the other side, but smiled and looked at the reopened door in front of him. In the door, I could see that a familiar figure appeared in front of me, it was none other than Zhao Si, who had seen at the door of the casino before.
"As expected, it came. ”
Zhuang Buzhou secretly rejoiced in his heart, you know, he is now waiting for this group of gamblers to come and trade.
Just now, he had been trading with Mrs. Liu for sixteen and a half years, and where did this time come from, it was naturally stripped from himself. There were fifty years and six months left, and now that the trade is out, there are only thirty-four years left.
Fortunately, when it comes to trading time, his time is not ten times decreasing, and the transaction is as much as it is. Otherwise, you won't be able to get him out if you kill him.
There are only thirty-four years left in his own time, and according to his own consumption of ten times, it is only enough for Zhuang Buzhou to live in this world for more than three years. Now, the most urgent thing is to need a whole new amount of time to replenish.
And the goal of gaining time is naturally a gambler like Zhao Si.
This group of gamblers, for the sake of money, can definitely do anything, sell their time, there is not much thought at all. As for how long they can live after the time of sale, Zhuang Buzhou will not be pitied.
Nine out of ten are waste.
He died early, and he really didn't deserve sympathy.
And their value is to provide time.
What's more, this is fair trade, the freedom to buy and sell. Whether to trade or not, it is all on their own volition.
No one can force anyone.
These gamblers must be exchanged for money. This is also the reason why Zhuang Buzhou wants to trade with Old Lady Liu first, only in such a family can he have a large amount of money, harvest it at one time, and then use this gold and silver to buy the gambler's time.
Left hand to right hand, the profit is immeasurable.
"This is where it is. ”
After Zhao Si felt his feet on the ground, he subconsciously looked around, and saw the smooth and tidy environment, and subconsciously felt a sense of solemnity in his heart, such an attic house, he couldn't even distinguish the materials, but it was certain that it was definitely not an ordinary place.
"This is the other side, where everything can be bought and everything can be sold. I am the master here, you can call me Mr. Zhuang. ”
Zhuang Buzhou said with a smile: "Your name is Zhao Si, you are very short of money now, and here, you can meet your needs." ”
In his voice, there seemed to be some kind of irresistible temptation, which made Zhao Si subconsciously move his feet and sit down in front of Zhuang Buzhou.
When I heard that I could get money, my eyes lit up.
"Here....... Can you really get money? But I, there are no valuables that can be pawned as collateral. ”
Zhao Si asked excitedly and apprehensively.
He was now penniless, all thrown into the casino, and he lost all his money, and it was when he was wandering outside, not knowing how to explain when he got home, that he accidentally found an invitation card that appeared on his body at an unknown time. Subconsciously, I entered here.
In an instant, he transferred himself from Qingyun City to here, and this mysterious method greatly increased the hope in his heart.
"No, you have, for example, your lifespan, that is, your remaining time. ”
Zhuang Buzhou said calmly.
"Time, life, can this also be traded? ”
When Zhao Si heard this, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.
Before this, he never knew that a person's lifespan could be traded.
What a terrible, incredible thing it is.
"Of course, here, anything that belongs to you can be traded, but the value is uncertain. But the value of time, which is constant, does not depreciate in any way. ”
Zhuang Buzhou said with a smile.
"That'....... Excuse me, how much time do I have and how much life do I have. ”
Zhao Si took a deep breath and asked worriedly.
"Zhao Si, thirty-one years old, remaining time: sixty-three years and seven months, three days, eleven hours, twenty-one minutes, thirteen seconds, twelve seconds, eleven seconds........"
Zhuang Buzhou glanced at him and said slowly. At the end of the voice, the decreasing number of seconds gave people an inexplicable pressure and fear. That's time consuming, that's your own life passing.
When you don't hear it, you don't feel it, but now that you hear it, you can feel the fear in it.
But then there was a burst of joy, I still have more than 60 years of life, that is to say, I can live to be more than 90 years old, this is a longevity species, a proper longevity species.
"More than sixty years, selling some lifespan, it shouldn't be nothing. ”
A thought came to my mind.
Immediately, my heart was eager to try, revealing a color of excitement.
"Dare to ask Mr. Zhuang, I don't know how to trade at this time and how much money can be exchanged. ”
Zhao Si asked cautiously.
"An inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time, this sentence is a proverb since ancient times, but on the other side, it is not unchangeable. But you still have to follow the rules of every inch of time. ”
Zhuang Buzhou said with a light smile.
"I don't know how much money is or how much time is there. ”
Zhao Si swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked curiously.
"An inch of gold is a pound of gold, and an inch of time is a year, that is, three hundred and sixty-five days. ”
Yi Tianxing said calmly.
"What?"
Zhao Si's body was trembling, and an unprecedented light appeared in his eyes, it was not fear, but a kind of ecstasy, yes, it was completely a look of ecstasy.
It can be exchanged for a pound of gold in a year.
What is the concept of a pound of gold, a pound of gold is equal to ten pounds of silver, and ten pounds is a hundred taels of silver.
How can an ordinary person earn ten taels of silver a year, it is quite difficult, especially for the people at the bottom, even more so, even if it is one or two, one cent is a matter of pounds. One hundred taels is enough to buy more than a dozen acres of fertile land and buy the next family business.
Those who can earn a hundred taels in a year are definitely very few in Qingyun City.
If you tell others at the price of 100 taels a year, if you want to exchange it for silver, it will definitely be like a carp crossing the river.
At least Zhao Si is now completely filled with ecstasy.
One hundred taels, growing so big, when did he have a hundred taels of silver. That's a staggering number.
"Sell, I want to sell time, I want to sell for ten years, no, twenty years, I still have more than sixty years to live, I don't need to live that long, there is plenty of time, I use the extra time to exchange for a richer and better life. ”
Zhao Si's eyes flashed, and he said excitedly.
"Very good, here is the transaction contract, you sign it, press the handprint, the transaction is about to be established, before the transaction, please think carefully, whether you really want to trade, this is twenty years, but also your twenty years of life. Once trading opens, there will be no chance of regrets. ”
Zhuang Buzhou reminded calmly.
"The deal, I'll sign it, I'll sign it now. Where can time be compared to money? You have money to live better. ”
Zhao Si did not hesitate to start signing the contract.
He can't write, but he can draw a pledge directly, and then press the handprint, and the effect of the contract is the same.
The contract is also very straightforward, Zhao Si exchanged twenty years of life for two thousand taels of silver. Even if you don't know how to read, you can know the terms and content of the contract when you see it, which is clear and straightforward.
"Very good, the contract is established, the transaction begins!!"
Zhuang Buzhou nodded, and when the words fell, he saw that above the contract, the light flashed, and a libra appeared in front of him, and on the left, a silver shining silver appeared out of thin air, no more, no less, exactly two thousand taels, which is an astronomical amount for ordinary people, enough to turn their lives upside down.
Brush!!
Immediately afterwards, on the right side of the scale, a divine light fell on Zhao Si, and a golden time coin condensed from time suddenly flew out of Zhao Si's body. It can also be called the eternal coin, the other side coin. Quickly falling into the scale, in the blink of an eye, a thick stack has been piled up. Twenty years is a gold coin of time in one day, and the sum is 7,300 coins.
As the balance of the scales was restored and the contract was reached, in an instant, more than 7,000 coins from the other side naturally fell into Zhuang Buzhou's body.
Instinctively, there was a burst of excitement in the body.
My own time suddenly increased by twenty years, and I could feel that the total number of remaining time reached fifty-four years.
As time comes and goes, instead of decreasing, time becomes more. And the money obtained from Mrs. Liu only consumes a small part, which is not worth mentioning at all.
With that amount of money, you can buy more time. And that's just the beginning.
"It's really silver, I'm rich, I'm finally rich. Two thousand taels of silver, I have made a fortune. ”
Time stripping, for Zhao Si, there is no impact on the surface, and there will be no signs of aging, which is his future time. It doesn't have an impact on the present.
"It's an invitation card to the other side, and if you want to come to the other side again, you can use it to come here again. I hope you don't have to come back again. ”
Zhuang Buzhou saw it, smiled indifferently, and sent an invitation card to Zhao Si.
This card, if used, is likely to be a bigger deal.
Of course, he also hopes that day will not come.
Gamblers, if you can turn back to the shore, then life is naturally everywhere on the other side, why bother here.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhuang, my wife is still waiting for me at home. I'll go back first. ”
Zhao Si also immediately got the money, two thousand taels of silver, which was already placed in front of him, and was packed in a box, and then, Zhao Si excitedly hugged the box and left from the space on the other side.
As for whether he would come back, he didn't think too much about it.
With so much money, what can't you do.
I'm going to live a good life and never gamble again.
"The prodigal son turned back, ten times nine waves. ”
Zhuang Buzhou shook his head and sighed.
