Chapter 54: The Science of Gift-giving
The crowd talked for a while, and then their faces dispersed excitedly.
That Zhu Ke'er glared at Shi Dong before leaving, pursed her lips, and the fat snow-white cheeks and pears appeared, which made Shi Dong's heart flutter, as if he saw his sister coquettish and infatuated with him again.
was losing his mind, and suddenly heard Hao Ren ask: "Shi Dong, are you still not leaving?"
Shi Dong woke up suddenly, and saw Hao Ren with an unfathomable smile, as if his distraction just now had fallen into his nasty swollen eyes.
Hehe laughed twice, hiding his embarrassment, Shi Dong suddenly had a thought, since he has already shown favor to Bai Jin, then this Hao Ren and Bai Jin are secretly in contact, and they should also get the news, should they also get close to this Hao Ren?
What's more, after the next ghost insect sacrifice is completed, you will come to this gambling ghost shop to gamble ghosts, and you must prepare early.
So he pretended to hesitate and took out ten spirit stones, put them on the counter, and grinned at Hao Ren: "Seventh Senior Brother, you see that I have a little surplus spirit stones in my hand recently, and I want to ...... I also want to try my luck and bet on ghosts. But I don't have much experience, why don't you introduce me to it?"
As he spoke, he took out the sharp fork of the minotaur and quietly put it on the counter, and suddenly the cold air was permeated, and there was a dark luster, and he said in a low voice: "Seventh Senior Brother, don't blame the little brother for taking it out now, this thing originally wanted to be sold by the little brother for some spirit stones, but after thinking about it, the little brother has passed the first layer of the qi refining period thanks to your guidance, and he has not returned it yet." Simply, grit your teeth and stomp your feet, this is for you, you are an expert, and it is more useful to keep it in your hands than your younger brother. ”
Mao Feifei watched from the side, his mouth opened, he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he trusted this elf-quirky virtuous brother, and knew that his move must have a deep meaning, and he just looked at it.
Hao Ren's eyes narrowed, his sleeves swept over the counter, and the sharp fork disappeared, and he smiled: "Okay, you are a stone move, you really have you." This three-pointed fork is transformed by the essence of the Minotaur, and it has been cultivated for at least a hundred years, and it is worth at least 100 spirit stones, which is a good material for refining, so you will give it to me?"
Shi Dong's heart twitched twice, crying out heartache, he only knew that this sharp fork could be worth a little money, and it was estimated that 30 spirit stones were blocked, but he didn't expect that there would be 100 spirit stones at once.
But immediately after thinking about it, you have to take people down at one time to give gifts, this Hao Ren asked himself before if he had any materials to deal with, obviously thinking about the materials of the minotaur, and he took out the most precious fork at once, just to prove his sincerity.
Besides, what was given to Bai Jin was a dozen spirit stones of spirit tea, with a contribution of 200 points, and what was given to Hao Ren was a ghost fork worth 100 spirit stones, which was also considered a bowl of water, and the gift was given appropriately and decently, so he couldn't be dissatisfied.
So he grinned and said: "Seventh Senior Brother, there is a good saying, the sword is given to the hero, and the pink is given to the beauty!"
Hao Ren laughed and said, "I'm not a hero, let alone a beauty. He took out a medium-grade spirit stone and put it on the table, put away the 10 lower-grade spirit stones, and said meaningfully: "I bought this fork with 90 low-grade spirit stones, which is fair and reasonable, and you can't be cheaper as a senior brother." ”
Shi Dong thought about it for a while, and immediately understood the meaning of his move, the ghost fork worth 100 was bought for 90, and the difference in the middle was 10 spirit stones, which was 5 less than the 15 spirit stones he gave to Bai Jin, which meant that he could not accept gifts that were more valuable than those given to Bai Jin, so as to show that he did not dare to compare with Bai Jin.
As for the fact that Bai Jin later gave 15 spirit stones to Shi Dong as a price in order to show his generosity, Hao Ren did not dare to follow suit, and simply accepted Shi Dong's filial piety of 10 spirit stones.
All kinds of here, it is the most complex and darkest thick black science, subordinates give gifts to superiors, and the superiors do not accept because the relationship is not familiar; and one day in the future, it will be accepted, it is to show favor to subordinates, the subtext is to say, your kid has entered my eyes, and it is my descendant. Subordinates will also rejoice, feeling that they have finally been recognized by their superiors, and they will no longer be the official faces they used to be, and the distance between them will be much closer.
So one sends, one receives, conveying the subtext that only the parties can understand, and outsiders are insignificant.
Shi Dong has been in the market all the year round, and he has been exposed to it for a long time, and it has naturally penetrated into the bone marrow. And Mao Feifei was dumbfounded, and he didn't know why the two of them were pushing around at 100 for a while and 90 for a while.
The two smiled heartily, Hao Ren patted Shi Dong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Do a good job, senior brother is optimistic about you." ”
"Well, thank you brother for your care. Shi Dong laughed like a dog's tail flower, but muttered in his heart: "Fart! fat turtle, if you are really good to me, sows can go up trees!"
Mao Feifei watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but shudder, feeling why the smiles of the two were so fake, looking at the mad people.
"Come on, come on, I'll give you a test of your luck. Hao Ren took Shi Dong and walked to the counter of the gambling ghost shop, and while walking, he pointed out and introduced: "There are four areas here, the innermost is a high-level ghost fetus, all of which have unusual origins, some are wild ghost fetus, some are catalyzed by high-level ghosts, and some are cultivated by the hermits of the sect with secret techniques. ”
Shi Dong walked to the innermost high-end ghost fetus area, and saw that there were only more than 30 counters, and under the faint light, there were pounding ghost fetus, with different patterns on them, some were bright red like blood, some were dotted like quail eggs, some were very large, dark and heavy like ostrich eggs, and some were actually two ghost fetuses connected together, jumping on the left and jumping on the right, which was very strange to look at.
"You see, this one that is as red as blood is called the blood-colored sun, and the one that is spotted like quail eggs is called the starry spot, and this one that is as big as an ostrich egg is called a giant ghost fetus, and what do you guess what the two that are connected together?"
Shi Dong blinked curiously, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it called a twin?"
Mao Feifei stared at the bull's eye on the side, and said: "I think it's called a double yolk egg!"
"Hahaha......" Shi Dong laughed with Hao Ren.
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "This is actually just a ghost fetus, but it is divided into two parts of development, if it can open a spirit ghost, it is a pair of twin spirit ghosts, and there is a nice name called the twin evil stars." ”
Shi Dong and the others were amazed when they heard it, just by listening to the name, they could imagine that once these high-level ghost fetuses opened up spirit ghosts, the power of supernatural powers was unimaginable.
Looking at these high-level ghost fetuses with thousands of postures and strange ones, under the illumination of the psychedelic light, Shi Dong felt as if he was wandering in a strange world, one by one pregnant with strange life, pounding, tempting himself to knock them open one by one and release life.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and swept left and right, but saw that there were few people here, and only two or three monks looked down at those high-level ghost fetuses with solemn expressions.
So Shi Dong quietly asked Hao Ren, "Senior Brother Seven, why are there so few people here?"
Hao Ren smiled heavily, "It's expensive! A high-grade ghost fetus costs 10 medium-grade spirit stones, and if you don't have enough net worth, who would dare to come here to test your luck?"
"What?10 medium-grade spirit stones once?" Shi Dong and Mao Feifei were taken aback, that was 1,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Shi Dong felt his heart pounding, and just felt that he had entered the level of a small rich, but he didn't know that he was still a poor person when he came here.
