Chapter 2: Sloppy Edition
Xu Wu decided to try the system right away. While beating his back, he closed his eyes, recalling the original "Journey to the West" he had come into contact with.
When he was 23 years old, on his nephew's birthday, he gave him a hardcover edition.
Wait, it's not just this one. When I was 15 years old, because I accidentally tore a page in a bookstore, I bought a paperback edition with my pocket money.
It seems that there is. When I was 9 years old, I was very happy to watch the TV drama version, and I heard that there were many plots that had not been filmed, so I asked my neighbor "Sloppy Brother" to borrow a book to supplement the plot. The paper is yellow, there is no cover, and the inner pages are often sandwiched with dry and hard rice grains, let's call it a "sloppy version".
The main interface of the system immediately shows these three "Journey to the West" and the price. Among them, the sloppy version is priced at 39 exchange coins, the paperback version is priced at 99 exchange coins, and the hardcover version is 199!
This system is well versed in the "mantissa pricing method". But now I don't make enough money to buy anything. Earn more.
Xu Wu took off his shoes and began to bounce on the Black Wind Monster, shaking the chair "creak". All the goblins were dumbfounded. Tread the king under his feet, and dare not give them a hundred dares.
The powerful black wind monster was speechless, but he still gave a thumbs up, so that Xu Wu knew that the old monster was enjoying it.
"+25 for Convert. ”
"+23 for exchange coins. ”
"+26 for exchange coins. ”
"+24 Coins"
......
Xu Wu was sweating all over, and he felt that he had earned enough money, so he called it a day and closed.
"Here you go. The Black Wind Monster handed a small red cloth bag to Xu Wu.
Xu Wu was stunned for a moment, took the cloth bag, a little heavy, and embarrassed to open it in front of him, and asked, "King, this is ......?"
The Black Wind Monster put on his horse clip and said with a smile: "The last time the officers and soldiers ran into me, they ran away and threw away the entanglement. I won't need it anyway, so I'll give it to you. You did a good job this time, and hopefully the next big lottery will draw you. ”
This is a lot of real money! Earned by blood! Xu Wu bowed gratefully and saluted: "King Xie." ”
Seeing that Xu Wu was favored, the little demons in the living room had already dispersed, and they were busy with their work.
A broom suddenly flew into Xu Wu's arms.
"I see you haven't swept the door, keep sweeping!" the alpaca spirit craned its neck.
Xu Wu got the money, plus the opportunity to go out from the sky, and happily walked away with a broom. The alpaca was a little surprised when he saw him smiling.
In the courtyard, Xu Wu turned around and closed the door of the cave, activated the system, and could see that the balance of the exchange currency was 828, which looked like a lot. Thinking back to the prices of the three "Journey to the West", as the head of the department, if the three plans can achieve the same effect, he must choose the most cost-effective one.
When Xu Wu drew circles with his fingers on the ground, a "sloppy version" of "Journey to the West" suddenly appeared on the ground.
"This ......" Xu Wu's face was full of disgust, and the feeling of seeing the real thing was worse than he imagined. The paper was not only yellow, but also covered with spots, and the paper was twisted and hard, I don't know if it was soup or water, it was spilled and dried.
Regardless of these, as long as you can see it, Xu Wu began to look it up, and soon found the keyword "Black Wind Mountain" in the catalog. When I opened it, I couldn't help but shiver.
Everything is on the right track. Driven by curiosity, this black wind monster went to the burning Guanyin Monastery to steal Tang Sanzang's robe, and finally became the first monster to surrender to Tang monks and apprentices. Looking at Sun Wukong's record again, he killed a few little demons with sticks.
Xu Wu was so frightened that he closed the book, not good! As soon as he was reborn, he was killed! That Sun Monkey was unreasonable, and he almost beat demons all the way to the west, and he didn't have any spells, so he couldn't afford to eat the 13,500 catties of sticks.
Hidden!
However, what should I do after I hide? Xu Wu thought to himself, he was a demon, and it was still too difficult to live a human life. Once the cat's ears are discovered, it is an ordinary, and with her thin body, the other party will shoot herself to death with slippers.
He was full of sadness, looking at the "Journey to the West" in his hand, the exposed title page has the illustrations of the four masters and apprentices, Tang Seng riding a white dragon horse, Sun Wukong in front of him leading the way, Sha Seng leading the horse behind, and Zhu Bajie carrying the burden.
Xu Wu slapped his brain, why didn't he think of it before? This lineup is all demons except for Tang Seng! In the end, all of them became Buddhas and gods. Xu Wu immediately knew what he should do.
If you can't beat them, join them! Don't be afraid of thick skin, you're afraid of dying!
I don't have the ability, what should I do if I am looked down upon by the monkey pig Ma Sha? It doesn't matter, just use the pressure of seniority to protect Tang Seng earlier than they all. You can even not accept them and take Tang Seng around by yourself, anyway, there is already a script.
However, can I protect Tang Seng? There are no ones along the way, eighty-one is difficult, no joke, it's not that I failed the college entrance examination, my girlfriend broke up, the pressure of the mortgage, and the company was fired. In short, spells still have to be learned, at least learn to fly away, even if the monster comes, it's not afraid, can't you hide if you can't beat it?
If you clear the customs to Tianzhu and ask the Buddha to send you back to modern times and leave this world of gods and demons when you are enshrined, wouldn't it be beautiful?
Xu Wu felt that this initial plan was perfect, and he would refine it in the next few days. So he carefully hid the book in his pocket, swept the floor, and returned to the cave.
"Recently, I heard that there is a lion monster hidden in the country of black chickens. ”
"That's interesting. ”
"It's nothing, there are three of them in Che Chiguo, and they are hidden deeply. ”
"Haha! Che Chi Guo is not good. ”
"You're also very well-informed. ”
......
Passing by the living room, Xu Wu heard the conversation, stopped, and saw that it was six little demons gathered together, discussing major events in the world. Xu Wu used to meet people who liked to talk about the news of the world, but he was not interested in interjecting. Now it's different, he needs some outside information.
"How is Datang now?" Xu Wu stepped forward and asked.
A simple koala spirit replied enthusiastically: "There are no monsters, recently the Tang King is going to listen to a monk chanting! ”
Have a big dinner with the monks Hailu and these uneducated monsters...... Xu Wu couldn't help but say: "It's a land and water conference." ”
"Yes, yes. Koala Jing nodded again and again, and when he saw that it was the handsome Xu Wu who asked, he immediately became angry: "What are you asking for?"
Xu Wu flashed aside, he didn't feel uncomfortable not being able to integrate into the monster group, but everyone excluded him so much that his plan changed.
Originally, he had already gained the favor of the "chairman" of the Black Wind Monster, and it was estimated that he would be promoted soon, and it should be no problem to be a similar "assistant to the chairman", so that the Black Wind Monster could teach him some spells. But the other critters were not convinced. At that time, the work will not be carried out.
Just quit your job, find another job, and change jobs is not something you haven't done. Besides, from the information just now, I learned that Tang Sanzang was about to hold a water and land conference, and it was estimated that it would not be long before he set off from Chang'an to the west. Come to this point and do the math......
Almost a month, there is not much time left for himself! At the latest, he will stop Tang Seng in front of the Five Elements Mountain and accept his own apprentice first.
Xu Wu secretly made up his mind to set off tonight!
"Whew-"
"Whew-whew-"
"Whew-"
......
Although it was the third watch in the middle of the night, this night was not silent. There are many demons in the cave, nine out of ten are snoring, and Xu Wu can't sleep at all. He walked out of the room, without tiptoeing, placed a letter beside the Black Wind Monster's bed, pushed open the door, and walked freely.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, Xu Wu looked at the winding path in front of him, the time was pressing, it was not possible to walk on two legs, and then turned on the system.
He imagined that the electric car he was using, the style and price really came out, and it cost 899 exchange coins. Xu Wu shook his head, he didn't expect that the battery had been replaced once, and the size of the repair was no less than five times, and it was still so expensive after three years of riding!
The old neighbor's sloppy brother's pink electric car came to mind, he rode it once, worked for about seven years, the left brake failed, all kinds of seams were repaired, and I heard that the tires alone were repaired in eight places. Xu Wu stared at the system interface, rubbing his eyes, yes, as long as 299, as long as 299!
After drawing the circle, the electric car immediately appeared in front of you.
Stepping on the "sloppy version" of the electric car and turning on the dim lights, Xu Wu went on the road, grateful that he had met the sloppy brother in his previous life, and he had saved a lot of money now.
Unconsciously, after riding all night, Xu Wu looked up, the sky was bright, and the black wind monster should wake up at this moment. Leaving a "resignation letter" before leaving is the most basic etiquette for an employee. When the Black Wind Monster saw his letter, would he be very reluctant and burst into tears?
At this time, the Black Wind Monster was indeed looking at Xu Wu's handwriting.
"My lord, when you read this letter, I was far away. My mother called me and said that I had to go back and take care of her. Thank you to all of you at Batu Caves for your dedication and don't miss me. Number eight. ”
The Black Wind Monster scratched his scalp and was puzzled: "What phone? Who is the eighth?" There are a large number of junior brothers at the bottom, he can't tell the difference at all, there are many monsters coming and going, and he doesn't bother to care.
"Ha~" The Black Wind Monster opened its mouth wide, yawned, crumpled the letter, threw it on the floor, and lay down on the bed again.
"Good luck!"
Xu Wu said with emotion. As soon as I drove out of the Black Wind Mountain, I went around another mountain and saw a small town not far away. He parked the electric car in the bushes and picked some branches and leaves to cover it. When I went to the city, I felt that something was wrong again, so I turned back. He tried to open the trunk at the back of the car with the key, and was overjoyed: "Hey!
The trunk of the car has a yellow migrant worker hard hat and a pink raincoat. Xu Wu picked up the helmet and put it on, just hiding his ears. Cloth shirt, tie, helmet, Xu Wu knows that he is dressed very sand sculpture now, it doesn't matter, anyway, no one who knows him can bump into him.
He remembered one more thing, there were many people in the city, and now he was powerless, in case of an accident, what should he do?
Xu Wu began to imagine, is there a 98K? Or a pistol? He had only seen these on TV, and sure enough, the system could not display the exchange. It seems that you can only see it with your own "own eyes".
Xu Wu first remembered the electric baton used by the police, this has indeed been seen, whoever comes can call, fast and practical. The system soon shows that 369 coins are exchanged. He pouted, the price was too unfriendly.
Xu Wu had a peaceful life in his previous life, except for electric batons, he had never seen physical knives, guns and clubs, and he had not penetrated the Batu Caves, let alone found any weapons.
It seems that there is only this thing, Xu Wu closed his eyes and meditated, and a kitchen knife appeared in the system. Own one, the price tag is 179, a little expensive.
Redeem the currency to save a little he closed his eyes again, and the system showed the sloppy brother's kitchen knife, this xu wu had used it, and the oil was a little oily, and it was also a little dull. The key price is beautiful, as long as 89 exchange coins, it is better than nothing. Changed!
Xu Wu pinned the "sloppy version" kitchen knife to his waist and entered the town.
