Chapter 162 Ball Game and Idiot
In the reception room of Luo Lan Auction House, Xi Wei was siping coffee boredly.
To be honest, he still doesn't get used to coffee in this world. Although the refreshing effect is much better than that in the earth, the bitterness is also stronger. Moreover, there is no routine to add milk sugar to coffee in this world. There are only a few slices of fruit similar to lemon on the tray except for the coffee cup. Even if you want to relieve the bitterness in your mouth, you can't do it. Because of this, compared to this freshly brewed pure black coffee, Sivi still prefers instant coffee on the earth...
After drinking half a cup with a bitter face, the real owner he came to look for finally appeared.
Alina walked in from outside in panic. It could be seen that the girl was wearing professional clothes similar to a bunny girl's outfit and was also in a hurry. Xiwei could even see the snow-white ** exposed under the stockings that were not well-solid.
"Mr. Adrick is so sorry!" The girl apologized to Severe: "Because there are many other things recently..."
"Is it related to the huge brand outside?" Sivi asked curiously.
Before entering the auction house, he saw a huge wooden sign erected outside the door, like a billboard, with something very abstract on it, and it also said that the Renlian Tianqiu Game or something was written.
"Yeah, that's it." Alina nodded, with a proud expression on her face: "The full name is the 'Pan Human Union League Pure White Holy See Cup Celestial Competition'. Although the Pan Human Union League was first brought, it was actually just a traditional event of Huoli's. However, some foreign teams will come to participate recently. This competition is held every three years. This year, it happens to be held in the province of Quilin, but the lord here has just invested in establishing a new business road to Simolo, and he can't afford to hold the Celestial Competition..."
"So have you delegated the right to host the competition to your chamber of commerce?" asked Xiwei.
"How is that possible? Although it is not good to say that, our Luolan Chamber of Commerce does not say that Huoli is safe in the country. Even the top three in Kuilin Province alone cannot squeeze in." Alina sighed, probably because she felt that even if she hides such things, she could not hide them. So she simply told Xiwei generously, and also observed Xiwei's expression: "We are just one of the investment chambers found by the lord, and we have no decision-making power in many aspects."
Obviously, if Xiwei showed any strange color, she would reconsider her cooperation with Xiwei.
But it turns out that she was overly worried.
"That's right." Sivi nodded and looked clear, and then brought up this topic. After all, this kind of thing is to attract sponsorship on Earth, and it is not a rare thing. Sivi didn't care.
Although many people will try their best to pursue maximization of interests as much as possible, Xiwei is obviously not listed here.
If he didn't go to the college, Metz's treasure alone would be enough to live a life of nourishment. Even if he went to the college to build it, Sivi did not intend to build the foundation of the college on external forces. For him, it would be best to make the college self-sufficient and all resources possible. The funds earned by selling equipment like this are just as the start-up capital of the college to solve the urgent problem.
"Speaking of it, where is the iron material that I agreed to the day before yesterday?" Xiwei put the coffee cup in his hand back on the plate and began to turn to the topic: "You guys just put my affairs on the corner just to prepare for the result of that football match, right?"
The reason why Xiwei is so anxious is not unreasonable. The underground of the Sky Island has been hollowed out a little, and the load-bearing structure has been made of steel to prevent collapse. In fact, because the size of the Sky Island is very huge. Just the hollowed out part can already put all the magic pool, the star vein furnace and the magic engine in it. However, Xiwei will certainly not build the most important buildings on the entire island together, just like not putting eggs in the same basket. The necessary preparations are indispensable. Moreover, after experiencing two monster sieges, it also shows that Xiwei's current concerns are not groundless.
It's really because of this that he is anxious to get the remaining iron materials, because only after the materials are in place can the excavation of the underground of the empty island be started again...
"How could it be? You're so careless." After not finding anything unusual in Sivi, Alina breathed a little relieved. She smiled bitterly: "It's just that building a stadium also requires a lot of steel, and it's not our Chamber of Commerce that is responsible for collecting steel. The purchase price of steel has increased several times compared to before. If you are not in such a hurry to use it, can you wait for a while?"
If I could wait for a while, I wouldn't have been here.
Sivi sighed. He wanted to complete the prototype of the college before his students came back. After all, it would be difficult for Alisha and the others to accept that strange construction scene after they came back.
Thinking of this, Xiwei asked with a glimmer of hope: "Is there really no other way? Haven't your chamber of commerce hoarded a little steel?"
"I did collect some inventory before the lord prepared to deport the game, but I couldn't receive much in one day. If you want it, I will tell them to transport those who went to the last pickup later."
Xiwei looked at the girl for a while and felt that she shouldn't have lie. In the end, she could only touch her forehead and sigh: "Oh, then do that."
Xiwei always felt that all kinds of situations would always happen when he built the academy by himself. If it weren't for the system's lack of new tasks, he might have thought that the system was making trouble again.
"Speaking of it," at this time, Alina suddenly hammered her palm as if she had remembered something: "The Mobit Chamber of Commerce, which is responsible for purchasing steel, seems to be still eating a lot of high-level Yao crystals and magic cores recently, and their purchase price is not low. If you have medium-level Yao crystals or magic cores, we can try to negotiate with the other party to see if we can exchange a large amount of steel."
"Medium, high-level rays and magic cores..." Xiwei touched his chin and began to measure in his heart whether this exchange was worth it.
Magic core rays with energy levels 10 to 19 are called intermediate levels, while those with energy levels 20 to 29 are called advanced levels.
However, for ordinary people, all magic cores or ray crystals with energy level 10 or above can be called advanced magic core ray crystals.
Advanced magic cores have many uses, and because they are rare, they have to surpass the price of the Yaojing. For example, at the previous auction, Xiwei's magic core with energy level 12 was sold at a high price of 80 gold coins. If it is replaced with the Yaojing of the same energy level, it may only be sold at most for about 40.
Indeed, Xiwei, who has a dungeon as a trump card, will not lack the place to brush magic cores. Even those elemental crystal fragments can be used to impersonate specialized magic cores, which should be able to deceive most appraisers. However, if he only cooperates with the Luo Lan Chamber of Commerce, the risk of exposure is not great. But if he wants to try to contact those powerful chambers of commerce behind it, the latter of himself is very likely to be dug out, and it is obvious that this option is not happy.
However, he could not wait leisurely until the game ended. After all, the Dark Night nobles kept making small moves, and no matter how they looked, it was not far from their time to take action. If they could not complete the academy in a short time, many of the plans afterwards would become very passive.
He thought about it like this, hesitated for a long time before finally making a difficult decision.
He took out a handful of treasures from Metz, and his magic power declined a lot, but he could barely call it a high-level ray of crystals and magic cores, pushing them to the girl.
"If you take these, you can change as much steel as possible, the more the better!" Sivi said to Alina with a serious look on his face.
Since there is a possibility of being dug out, Naxivi simply decided to give up a certain degree of cover and collect resources to build a college in the shortest time. As long as there is a star vein furnace and magic engine, even if something really happens, he can drive the college to flash people...
Alina looked at the high-end magic core crystals piled up like cheap glass blocks in front, and was stunned. Even the image of a lady in the past collapsed for a moment.
She is not an uninformed rookie. In fact, she has seen a lot of things. She even saw a magic core with energy level 31 and a super level in an auction!
But even with her experience, she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the person who put a lot of high-end magic core crystals in her pocket like glass balls (actually they were put in storage boxes, but in order to take into account the feelings of others, she would do the action of exploring her pockets).
Then he woke up from his dream and rushed to ask someone to collect and measure these magic cores and rayon crystals.
After accepting Alina's guarantee, Xiwei left Luo Lan Auction House.
Although it is still quite some time before the Renlian Tianqiu Game, it can be seen that the already bustling streets have begun to become more lively.
There are vendors selling armors that are somewhat similar to those used for fencing. There is a big herald behind and in front of the armor, and there are numbers on them, either bright red or black and white. Siwei guessed that this should be the jersey of the celestial ball game.
In addition to this, there are some small vendors selling tennis balls that look a bit like tennis balls, but there are many magic circles carved on it. In addition, there are rackets that are similar to tennis rackets but no nets in the middle...
Although the celestial ball game seems to be really popular in the Eastern Plains, there are many people who like this sport, and most of them are those princes and dukes, dignified and status people, but Xiwei's predecessor seemed to have no particular interest in this sport, and he had never seen this sport in his memory.
But now it is obvious that the whole city is beginning to fill the atmosphere waiting for the game to begin.
Gradually, Sivi was also infected by this atmosphere and decided to try a few games when the game officially opened.
In addition to the products that are directly related to the football game, some other products have also begun to appear in the market. At least Xiwei saw the prototype of the monocular telescope there. It has a huge four-leaf clover that is equivalent to a glow stick. It will start to shine with a wave, and a whistle that will make a verb sound when blowing hard. Moreover, the content of the verbs seems to change according to the strength of the whistle blowing. It is a very interesting magic prop... Unfortunately, the stall of this small prop was later banned by people similar to the urban management in the city...
I didn't mean to help the girl. No matter how much they were, they were all mortal enemies, but it seemed quite interesting to tease this stupid girl without hiding it from the other party...
Seeing Xiwei seemed to have surrendered. The girl who was proud of herself immediately raised her flat breasts and said with a domineering look on her face: "Please treat me to a meal and then take me home!"
"Aren't you injured?" Siwei said with a smile.
The girl's face flashed with an expression of 'Ah, oh!', and then she immediately became listless and lay softly on the ground, but she still did not exceed the shadow of the parasol. She made an expression of unbearable pain and said in a weak tone: "Please, invite me to dinner, and then take me home..."
"Well, since I am so weak, I can't eat foods with irritating spices, greasy meat, etc." Seeing that the other party was still pretending, Sivi simply didn't bother to order clothes and played with her: "So I'll invite you to eat garlic porridge, which will nourish your stomach."
"Woog..." The girl's face changed suddenly, but she immediately remembered that she was still in 'injury', so she suppressed her urge to shout and said weakly: "It's okay, my stomach is good... Even if it's meaty, it doesn't matter... For example, the hot dog over there is very good..."
Xiwei looked at the hot dog she mentioned and found that it was just a small stall with five copper coins and a hot dog on it.
What an unexpected vampire...
However, he did not intend to let this girl go so easily. After all, he had suffered a lot from the Dark Night nobles, so it would be okay to tease the other party and get some interest back.
"Oh, that hot dog looks really good." He made a surprised expression.
"Right right! I'll just say it! That hot dog..." The girl immediately responded happily when she heard Xiwei agree with her words, but halfway through her speech, she saw Xiwei glancing at her sideways. She could only look weak again and said slowly: "Yes...just that's fine..."
"Speaking of it, I just saw garlic sauce there, and it seemed like it was very good to dip it in hot dogs." Xiwei smiled seamlessly on her face and said gently: "I'll buy one for you."
"Hey hey?! Wait..."
Before the girl could stop her, Xiwei had already floated away, and then returned home with a hot dog filled with garlic sauce. With a gentle smile, she watched the girl swallowed the hot dog filled with garlic sauce with tears... (To be continued...)
