Volume 2 Divine Sword Guardian Chapter 101 Counting and Settlement
Yan Biao stood up first and greeted: "Young Master Qi, you haven't shown up all day, and we all thought something had happened to you." ”
Wu Baonian followed and said: "Yes, yesterday we all saw you being chased and killed by that huge demon python, and we thought you would definitely die. ”
Yan Suqing asked a little anxiously, "Come on, how did you survive?"
Qi An hugged his fists and looked around, and said with a smile: "I also escaped by luck, the giant python didn't seem to have any murderous intentions towards me, just chased me around, tossed for a day and night, I was going to give up, who knew that the giant python would leave by itself." ”
Qi An made up a lie at random to send everyone away, not that he didn't want to tell the truth, but what happened later was too bizarre, and I am afraid that no one would believe it if he said it, so it was better to make up an easily acceptable reason and skip the matter.
He didn't make people suspicious when he said this, thinking that most of it was the giant python himself who gave up the pursuit, otherwise Qi An would never be spared.
Yan Biao asked Yan Suqing to bring a stool for Qi An to sit down, and then said: "You came at the right time, we are discussing how to distribute the spoils, if you feel that it is unfair, you can also put forward your own opinions." ”
Subsequently, Yan Biao listed the list of the loot obtained one by one, and then proposed his own distribution method for everyone to discuss.
The Demon Slayer's principle of distributing the spoils is usually based on work, not equally.
The so-called distribution according to work is to see the amount of credit contribution and contribution, the more important it is in the process of killing demons, the greater the proportion of distribution.
For example, the most important trophy this time is the corpse of two ape-headed iron-backed bears, one of which was killed by Qi An alone, owned by Qi An, and the other was surrounded and killed by everyone, according to the agreement between Wang Dongsheng and Yan Biao in advance, the two demon slaying teams were divided into four or six, as for how the two teams should be divided, it was distributed according to work.
According to this situation, Yan Biao and Wang Dongsheng, the two pinnacles of condensation, have the strongest strength, and they have made the greatest contribution to the successful kill, so they can naturally share more, and the others will be correspondingly less, and although Yan Suqing did not make a move, she also has credit for observing the wind, and she can also get some.
In addition to this, the corpses of eighteen mantis arm black beetles are also very valuable. Yan Biao's team was divided into twelve, and Wang Dongsheng's team was divided into six, and as for the more specific distribution within the team, it also abided by the principle of distribution according to work.
There are still twenty-nine corpses of fire-eyed monkeys, fifteen withered blood snakes, and a crab hand centipede that has been trampled and only a pair of giant pincers and Neidan remaining, these have nothing to do with Wang Dongsheng and them, this was hunted by Yan Biao's team alone before the two teams joined forces.
The general principle is to distribute according to work, but it is very complicated to implement the specific amount, and a group of people discussed it for more than an hour before reaching a preliminary consensus.
In fact, it's okay to say that the old members of the two demon slaying teams can almost decide that the two captains will give you less this time, and they will compensate more next time, and they won't care too much, after all, they are all members of the same team.
Therefore, the focus of the distribution is mainly to calculate with a few temporarily recruited team members, they are only temporary cooperation with the demon slaying team, and they will leave when they are done, which is a one-time transaction, and the distribution should be meticulous, if it is not convincing, it will damage the reputation of the demon slaying team, but it is inappropriate.
Qi An has an atmospheric personality, does not care, and seeing that they are meticulous and troublesome, and it is nerve-wracking, he simply announced that as long as he has an ape-headed iron-backed bear, he will no longer participate in other distributions.
Qi An's decision can make Yan Biao, Wu Baonian and Qi Daoren very happy, you must know that the value of twelve mantis arm black beetles is quite expensive, and the sum is not much worse than an ape-headed ironback bear, if Qi An gives up on this, the three of them can share a lot.
So they also gave up the distribution of the Fire-Eyed Monkey and the Withered Blood Snake very generously, leaving it to Wei Mou and a few early stage of Qi Condensation.
In this way, everyone can get more benefits than expected, and everyone is happy.
In the end, Qi An had the highest benefit, after all, he had an ape-headed ironback bear, accounting for one-third of all gains.
The second is Yan Biao and Wang Dongsheng, the two peaks of condensation, both of whom have the first credit in besieging and killing the ape-headed iron-backed bear and annihilating the mantis arm black beetle.
Next came the Qidao people, who made great efforts in every battle and used many talismans, so he was paid more generously.
The rest of those people have not received as many benefits as the above, so I will not go into details.
After the distribution is completed, these beast demon corpses will be sold by Yan Biao and Wang Dongsheng, the two demon slaying captains, in exchange for Yuan Zhu, and then distributed to everyone, so it will take at least a day or two to really get paid.
But Qi An didn't need to wait like the others, because the Ape Head Ironback Bear already had a ready-made buyer, it was said that a caster from the county town, and after the distribution was over, Qi An followed Yan Biao and Wang Dongsheng to the place where the buyer settled.
This caster is not young, he is a short and fat old man with a ruddy complexion, and he should also be a Qi Condensing Cultivator, if he already has the cultivation of the God Refining Realm, then he can go hunting the ape-headed ironback bear himself, and he does not need to entrust the demon slaying team.
This short and fat old man's surname is Huang, and Yan Biao and Wang Dongsheng both respectfully call him "Master Huang" when they greet each other.
When the two corpses of the ape-headed iron-backed bear appeared in front of Master Huang, Master Huang was surprised and delighted, and then he was a little embarrassed, and said slightly apologetically: "The price proposed by the old man before was 3,000 yuan to buy the corpse of an ape-headed iron-backed bear, but it was ......."
Seeing Master Huang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Yan Biao thought that Master Huang was going to use an excuse to lower the price, his face became a little unnatural, and he asked unhappily: "Could it be that Master Huang feels that the price is too high and wants to regret it?"
Master Huang waved his hand: "That's not it, Captain Yan don't misunderstand, the price of three thousand yuan beads is extremely fair in the old man's opinion, but the old man didn't expect you to kill two at once, so he didn't prepare so many beads." ”
Hearing that Master Huang didn't want to lower the price, Yan Biao's face looked a little better, and said, "Then Master Huang bid to buy an ape-headed iron-backed bear, and the remaining one is looking for another buyer." ”
Master Huang said: "No, the old man of these two ape-headed iron-backed bears want both, but the old man only has 5,000 yuan now, and the remaining 1,000 can be owed on credit for a month or two, and the old man will soon find a way to make up for it." ”
"This ......" Yan Biao was a little embarrassed, and glanced back at Qi An and Wang Dongsheng.
Qi An stepped forward with a smile, bowed to Master Huang, and said: "Master Huang, my name is Qi An, one of these two ape-headed iron-backed bears belongs to me, I can make the decision to sell it to you for two thousand yuan beads, but I also hope that Master Huang can agree to my request." ”
"Oh?" Master Huang looked at Qi An for the first time, he saw that Qi An was young, and thought that he was just a junior follower of Yan Biao, but he didn't expect that he was one of the owners of the goods, thinking that this young man had some means, so he asked: "What are the requirements, but please tell me to hear about it." ”
Qi An said: "I am a little interested in casting, and I want to ask Master Huang for some advice, if Master Huang does not dislike it, please also spend half a month teaching the way of casting, at that time, whether you succeed or not, as long as the half month is up, you will no longer disturb Master Huang's cultivation." ”
Half a month's teaching in exchange for a reward of 1,000 yuan beads, which is actually very cost-effective for a caster who is only in the condensation realm, which is equivalent to being able to earn sixty-seven yuan beads in one day, and usually will not be refused.
But Master Huang looked a little reluctant, frowned and thought about it for a long time, before he said to Qi An: "This request is difficult for the old man to agree, the old man still has urgent matters to rush back to the county town, and then he will start casting magic weapons with the materials on the ape-headed ironback bear, and there is no extra time to teach you." ”
When Qi An heard this, he was slightly disappointed, but he heard Master Huang say again: "If you are really interested in casting, the old man has two precious books about casting, one is "Introduction to Casting", and the other is "Detailed Explanation of Casting", the former is a novice chapter, and the latter is an advanced chapter, which is a secret book passed down by the old master, and now these two books can be handed over to you to pay off the debt of this thousand yuan beads, what do you think?"
Qi An was overjoyed when he heard this, and agreed: "This is very good, thank you Master Huang for forbearing love!"
Master Huang didn't talk nonsense, turned over and took out 5,000 yuan beads and two yellowed books and handed them to Qi An, Qi An took them happily, and then handed over 3,000 yuan beads to Yan Biao, and the three of them said goodbye to Master Huang and left.
In the meantime, everything has been done, Qi An said goodbye to Yan Biao and others, he has to continue to rush to Heishui County, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, Yan Biao and others will not stay, and say goodbye to each other.
Although Qi An was delayed in Zhishui County for a few days, the harvest was extremely huge, earning 2,000 yuan beads, getting two caster explanation books, and completely repairing the [Mo Ling Ru Yi Jia], so that the spirit devouring demon fire formed a cyclone and made the qi refining cultivation reach the early stage of qi condensation, and the wealth and strength were both harvested, and there was a significant increase, which can be described as heroic and high-spirited.
A few days later, Qi An left the boundaries of Zhengwu County and entered Xiangfan County.
Heishui County is still east of Xiangfan County, although it is the state capital, it is not in the middle of Qingzhou, but in the easternmost part of Qingzhou, bordering Jiaozhou and Zhongzhou.
The topography of Qingzhou is longer from east to west and shorter from north to south, and Qi'an starts from Gushan County, whether it is to the southeast through Fufeng County, or to the northeast through Zhengwu County, and finally through Xiangfan County to reach Heishui County.
Qi An's speed was not too fast, because he had to spend a lot of time cultivating every day, not only cultivating [King Kong is not bad], but also cultivating [Seven Absolute Sword Techniques].
