Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Strange Blackstone
Lin Chenben didn't know anything about the situation in Fang City, and the conditions proposed by the little boy in front of him were a relief.
"Doesn't this North City say that only cultivators can enter, why are there so many mortals here?" was my first question.
The little boy replied fluently without thinking: "The guest officer doesn't know, most of the shopkeepers in the North City are mortals, and almost eighty percent of them are locals, but the operation mode is quite complicated, some of the shopkeepers are also hired to take care of them, and some are the family's own industry, no matter what way, they can have a place in the North City, and there are different sects or gangs behind them." ”
"Mortals who usually want to enter the North City can only go through the teleportation array designated by Gold Rush City, but not everyone can enter, they must sign a contract and have detailed information registration in the city before they can enter here. ”
Lin Chenben nodded with satisfaction, and did not ask how he came in, to live in this world, everyone has their own way of survival, this kid doesn't look very old, these doors are very thorough.
"What is the common currency here?" Lin Chenben wanted to ask the most, in fact, this is this question.
"The currency of the fang market is based on spirit stones, and of course there are a few shops that collect worldly currency. Archie was a little nervous, bowed his head, and replied very seriously.
"Okay, yes, this son is very satisfied with your answer, it's up to you. Lin Chenben actually acquiesced to him when he returned to the first question.
Archie blinked his big eyes, as if he couldn't believe it, his smile was overflowing, and his face was undisguised, his small hands were clenched tightly, and he finally raised his head and confirmed again: "Big brother... Guest, are you telling the truth?"
"Alright, you'll follow me, and I'll ask you anytime you have anything to ask. Lin Chenben turned around and walked towards the crowded square.
Find out what makes the items different and what they will sell for.
There were more than 100 stalls in the square alone, and Lin Chenben looked very carefully at first, but it seemed that after more than ten stalls, almost all of the stalls sold were some scrap copper and rotten iron, or incomplete exercise cheats.
However, there are some small objects that are made vividly, if people love them, if they are used to give them to women, they will definitely be liked by women.
Lin Chen originally wanted to buy a piece to play, but then he thought about it, the only woman he knew was taken back, and when they met, I don't know what year, after thinking about it, he put down the object in his hand again.
When he first entered, he secretly swore that he would take a look at all the shops here, but at this time, after a while, he didn't find any good objects, which couldn't help but make Lin Chenben a little disappointed, so he could only look at the flowers.
After a while, there were four or five people around a booth in front of him, shouting something.
"I said shopkeeper, such a broken stone, selling for 50 spirit stones, have you lost your money?"
The shopkeeper of the stall is a middle-aged man of about forty, dressed in a plain black coarse cloth shirt, with a wide nose and thick lips, looking extremely honest and honest, but the words he said were extremely domineering: "Get out, get out, Lao Tzu likes to sell at whatever price, just at whatever price, if you don't know the goods, get out of the way." ”
"Shopkeeper, you are too domineering, buy and sell freely, bargaining, righteous, what are you doing with your temper!" Mumba squatted on the ground, his body more than twice as thick as the shopkeeper.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the four or five onlookers were chattering and hugging.
"Shopkeeper, you want to sell this stone for 50 spirit stones, so let's say something. ”
"That's right, you pay attention to honesty in trading, and you can't cheat people like this. ”
......
The shopkeeper was also afraid of arousing the anger of the public, so he explained slightly: "This stone will occasionally move, but it is not moving now, and it is still growing, I also picked it up by accident, when I first found it, this stone is the size of a baby's fist, and now you see, it has caught up with the fist of an adult man, as for what is the magic of this stone, I don't know the specifics, I know everything, and what to sell here." ”
"As the saying goes, the eye knows the gold, the Bole knows the horse, is it a treasure, are you Bole? If you want to buy it, don't buy it here!"
The shopkeeper is very eloquent, arguing with reason, saying one set of words, and leaving everyone speechless.
A group of people felt that this store was just boasting, and who could verify the groundless things, and dispersed one after another, leaving only Mumba reluctant.
Lin Chenben was also at the scene and did not walk away, according to his observation, the shopkeeper did not seem to be lying, he had also used his divine sense and spiritual power to probe this stone, and there was nothing peculiar.
"Shopkeeper, can I take it in my hand and take a look?" Lin Chenben asked. He didn't know whether the shopkeeper was a mortal or a cultivator, and if the other party was a cultivator, he would use his divine sense to probe into other people's private information and be discovered, and the consequences would be very serious.
And Archie, who was following behind, saw that Lin Chenben was interested in a stone, and the price was 50 spirit stones, for fear that after Lin Chenben bought it, he would find out that he had been deceived into settling accounts with him.
Archie gently tugged at the corner of Lin Chenben's clothes, and reminded in a low voice: "Guest officer, 50 spirit stones can buy a lot of good things. ”
"Don't worry, I won't blame you for the loss. Lin Chenben turned around and smiled indifferently.
"Just handle with care, don't damage it. Seeing that Lin Chenben seemed to be quite sincere, the shopkeeper agreed to him.
This stone, the size of an adult's fist, is very peculiar in appearance, rectangular, black throughout, a pair of water chestnuts in the shape of cat's ears in the upper left corner of the stone protrude, and under the ears, the eyes and nose are gradually revealed, which is not obvious.
Other than that, there is nothing special about the whole stone.
From the outside, this stone looks like a master carver carved the front half of the body to life, but in the end something caused it to give up.
Holding this stone, there is no cold feeling of ordinary stones, but a faint warmth comes out.
Lin Chenben concluded from this that this stone is not an ordinary thing, but he can't say what is special, 50 spirit stones are not expensive, not expensive or cheap, can only be regarded as a kind of gambling, good luck may be worth a fortune, bad luck is a waste stone, worthless. However, it's a small bet.
"Boss, 50 spirit stones, I want it. Lin Chenben looked calm and light, and his demeanor was as simple as a rich kid buying a few playthings.
Mumba on the side couldn't help it, stretched out his thick arm, stopped him, and looked at Lin Chenben with deep hostility in his eyes.
"This black... Hei Gongzi, what do you mean, is there a first-come-first-served deal, I didn't say that I don't want this thing, do you want it? Have you asked me!"
"Since ancient times, the highest price has been obtained, do you say that the shopkeeper is this reason?" Lin Chen did not have a theory with the strong man, things belong to the shopkeeper, and he naturally has the right to sell them to whom.
"Haha, this distinguished guest is right, the one with the highest price wins. "The shopkeeper saw that Fang was just said to be a worthless waste stone, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a fragrant bun, and some people were vying for it, of course, they couldn't close their mouths with a smile.
"My master also gave out 50 spirit stones, who did you say the shopkeeper sold it to?" Mumba couldn't help but say a lot louder, looking a little excited.
The shopkeeper seemed embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
60 spirit stones! Lin Chenben had an indifferent look.
"You, good, good, you kid deliberately, Ba Ye will give you a dead fight today, 70 spirit stones. ”
80 spirit stones. Lin Chenben simply closed his eyes and waited for the other party to shout.
Mumba's face was flushed at this time, his eyebrows were angry, and he wanted to have a seizure but could only forcibly endure it.
"Okay, you wait!" Mumba said as he turned away angrily.
And Archie in the back opened his mouth into a circle, covering it with one hand, just a stone that was inconspicuous, 80 spirit stones, which made him completely incomprehensible.
80 lower grade spirit stones, if converted into gold, 1 lower grade spirit stone is equal to 10 taels of gold, 80 spirit stones are 800 taels of gold, 800 taels of gold, enough for him to enjoy several lifetimes.
"Is there a spirit stone money village around here?" Lin Chen didn't take out the high-grade spirit stone, for fear of scaring Archie, not to mention that he was already scared at this time.
"Yes, there is one not far ahead, guest officer, the small one will take you there. ”
Lin Chenben threw out 100 taels of gold and put it in front of the stall, and said, "Shopkeeper, this is a deposit, I'll come when I go." ”
80 spirit stones, this price was beyond his expectations, the shopkeeper smiled and nodded.
