Chapter 247
The True Face
Speaking of March 15, 2016, a real-world super rich man entered the game world.
This rich man named "Little Character" was very angry when he inspected a store invested by his Internet company in "The World of Domination", and found that the store was very shabby, with no minimum decoration, and there were even fewer customers, which made him very angry.
However, the super rich man did not say it clearly, but pointed to the store and said, "Haha, only a small person like me is suitable for such a 'little corner'!"
"According to this statement, the 'little corner' should not mean the same as you said." I kept interrupting when I heard this.
"Don't be anxious, boss." "Nick" raised his brows, as if he was very dissatisfied with my interruption to him, and said, "Later, in just half a year, the rich man visited this shop again. But this time he saw a magnificent high-end place."
"So, the rich man accompanied the shop owner meaningfully and said to him: This is the 'little corner' that deserves me as a 'little character'! Since then, the title 'little corner' has been compared to those high-end places by our 'Western Continent' players, and that's why I recommend this 'fike jewelry store'."
"Well, it sounds very reasonable. But why not at 'Fike Jewelry Store'? 'Fike Jewelry Store' should fit the title of 'Little Corner'?" I said to myself, and "Nick" on the side also became puzzled.
So, this scene appeared on the street. A warrior wearing a mask that is said to be very popular now, stood in the middle of the street with his arms crossed in front of his chest, while his right hand was supported on his chin, looking like a contemplative person.
Next to him was a rich-looking Westerner with almost the same shape. The only difference was that the one who stood on his chin was replaced with his left hand. At first, others thought that these two people were really thinking. But as time passed, more and more people classified these two guys into the category of "sick" and wrongly accused the two people who were eager to detect the deep meaning contained in the "little corner".
After about an hour, I finally thought of the key. It seems that "Fick Jewelry Store" is very suitable for the role of "Little Corner", but after thinking about it carefully, it is very different from the store that really has the title of "Little Corner".
In the introduction of "Nick", this "Fick Jewelry Store" started by the real jewelry tycoon Ficron has been in a prosperous situation since the beginning of the "Fick Jewelry Store" sign, and has never had any shabby situation.
Therefore, although the current "Fick Jewelry Store" is also magnificent, it does not have that shabby past. After thinking through this, I was about to speak when "Nick" next to me shouted: "I thought of it!"
"Boss, I thought of it. I know what kind of store 'little corner' is!" "Nick" shouted proudly, deepening the comments from passers-by. Seeing the idiot-looking expressions of players around me, I quickly pulled "Nick" and quickly escaped from this eye-catching world.
"Okay, it's no big deal." I said with a relaxed look: "Not only did you think of it, but I also thought of it. It should be that kind of huge change from shabby to hot! Which jewelry store in 'Lack City' or which jewelry store meets this condition?"
"Boss, can't you? Can't you give me some room to play?" "Nick" said with a depressed look: "As far as I know, the one that best matches this characteristic is our "Danlin Jewelry" in Lake City, and the second is "McCan Jewelry" and nothing else is."
"Okay, now the target - Danlin Jewelry Tour!" I waved my right hand and pointed to the front, extremely excited.
Just as he was about to make a big stride, a small voice came from "Nick" behind him: "Boss, you've taken the wrong path, Danlin Jewelry Tour is here."
Well, it was a totally small mistake, so everyone doesn't have to take it seriously.
In the popular jewelry areas outside the "Danlin Jewelry Shop", we did not see the "seven-color necklace". After making our own request again, an equally pleasing and beautiful female salesperson led us to a luxuriously decorated room with various lights, and each light sets off the luxuriousness of the corresponding necklace.
"Nick" and I became scanners again, and our wolf-like harsh eyes picked around the middle of the necklaces. After a while, "Nick" whispered in my ear: "Boss, no."
I nodded and was about to leave. At this moment, a necklace on the shelf at the door attracted my attention. Of course, this is not the first time I have seen this necklace. In fact, I started with this necklace from the beginning of looking for the "seven-color necklace".
According to the information provided by Old Jack, in addition to the seven different colored gems at the bottom, the "Seven Color Necklace" is simple silver chain, and the spiral silver chain.
But this necklace is completely different. Although it has a spiral silver chain, it is covered with gems, and it is estimated that there are more than forty pieces of thick. This is definitely an extremely arrogant necklace, and the black gems are large and round; the luxury of the gems itself greatly weakens the vulgarity of the original design, giving people the feeling that only arrogance is left. And its price is also extremely arrogant - 30,000,000 gold coins.
The female salesperson in the dress saw me stopping on this extremely expensive necklace that had never been sold, with a sweet and intoxicating smile on her face, and the voice in her mouth was filled with temptation: "Ah--(closing her mouth and exclaiming in a low voice) Sir, your eyesight is really great. This string of black gems necklaces is made of the largest black gems ever in the game. It is not easy to find these black gems alone."
"Plus with the gracefulness and the mysterious feeling of the black gemstones are definitely the best gift for your girlfriend. But only big names like you can afford such expensive necklaces!"
"Nick" finally woke up from the charm of the female salesperson. Seeing me staring at the extremely arrogant necklace, and then looking at the equally arrogant price, he swallowed his saliva: "Boss, you don't really want to buy this necklace, right? That's something that costs hundreds of thousands of euros! This is in the game, it's not worth it!"
"It's too expensive!" I nodded to agree with "Nick"'s opinion, my tone was filled with regret. After saying that, I made a move to leave.
"Ah, sir. Please don't worry. This necklace is a bit expensive, but it is definitely worth the price. Of course, if you buy it sincerely, there are some discounts." Seeing that I thought the price was too high at a critical moment, the female salesperson's eyes were full of anxiety. If I let go of my big fish today, I'm afraid she would regret it for the rest of her life.
When I heard the word "discount", I stopped. The "Nick" behind me was about to hit me because I couldn't hold my feet in time, but was blocked by a layer of soft energy.
"How much can I offer?" I showed a heart-warming look.
"I can give you a 10% discount at most, and no matter how much it is, it's not something I can decide." The female salesperson showed a hesitant look.
"Ten percent? That's only 27 million gold coins! No, the price is still too high. If only this discount is the only one, I'm sorry I can't afford it." It's so regretful! I just sighed to the sky.
"Sir, please wait." The female salesperson gritted her teeth and made up her mind, and said, "I can't decide, but our manager can. I hope you can wait a moment. I'll be back soon!"
The female salesperson hurriedly ran to the hall in front, cursing her damn position in her heart. If she was the manager, she could reach a perfect agreement with the customer, and her dividend would reach at least 10,000 US dollars. But now once the manager comes forward, her share will be greatly reduced. For the first time, the female salesperson began to hate her cheap position.
The hurried footsteps of the female salesperson sounded in the corridor. As the footsteps went away, "Nick" looked at me with confusion: "Boss, are you really going to buy this necklace? This is 30 million gold coins! How much can you give if you have a discount!"
"What do you think?" I blinked.
"Well, is this necklace the 'seven-colored necklace'?" "Nick" became even more confused. His eyes were filled with mist when he looked at the black gem necklace: "I remember that the 'seven-colored necklace' had only seven gems at the beginning; even if someone later added other gems on it, the colors could not all turn black, right?"
"I don't know if this necklace is our goal, but I can be sure that seven black gems emit powerful energy. Even if they are not our target, they are an extremely powerful equipment, with an absolute value of 30 million gold coins. What's more, I believe that the seven energy gems are the original seven-color gems, and the color issue is even simpler. In this magical game world, it's too simple to change the color of a gem, and I can do it."
"In other words, to a large extent, this is the 'seven-color necklace'?" "Nick" looked drooling.
I nodded and said, "So, you must cooperate with me to kill the low price later. I guess this necklace has not been sold for a long time. They must be eager to take action, which can be seen from the performance of that lady."
"In other words, I'm about to get my 50,000 gold coins?" Nick asked stupidly.
"Yes." I knocked his head hard with anger: "If you perform well later, I will still be rewarded! If you make the matter worse, 50,000 gold coins will fly."
"Haha, there is absolutely no problem." "Nick" patted his chest and promised: "Boss, you'll see what I do later."
I nodded and stopped talking. I still believed in "Nick's" ability to bargain. At the beginning, it was because of his outstanding performance in this regard that I decided to hand over most of the remaining goods to him, because I believe "Nick" would never let these goods be sold at a low price.
Just a few seconds after I decided to discuss with "Nick", two rapid footsteps came to mind in the corridor. The sound behind was very familiar, the female salesperson who received us before; and the one in front was heavy and powerful, with a certain martial arts foundation, should be the so-called manager in the female salesperson's mouth.
A shrewd middle-aged man appeared in our sight. He looked at us like an eagle-eyed look, then smiled professionally, and said, "Welcome to our store and have a crush on one of the most expensive jewelry in our jewelry store. I think we can talk about the price carefully. Jenny--"
Before he finished speaking, Jenny, who was originally standing behind him, stood up, holding a tray in his hand, and in the tray was a bottle of wine of many years and a small pot from my "Du Kang". The next point can be seen from the habitual wrinkling movements of "Nick" smelling the "Du Kang" wine.
The guest and guest took a seat. The black gem necklace that I suspected to be a "seven-color necklace" was placed on the table, shining with black light, revealing an extremely mysterious smell.
The manager briefly introduced the preciousness of this black gem necklace and gave some praise, and then said: "I want to know what your attitude towards this necklace is for the guest? If you really want to buy it, I think you can directly quote you a lowest price, because this necklace has been in our jewelry store for more than two years, but no one can buy it at all. So, if you really want it, the price given by our jewelry store is absolutely very favorable, making you worth the money."
"It can be said that I really want this necklace because it matches my girlfriend. Unfortunately, the price is a bit higher for me." I said seriously.
"Yes, my boss's girlfriend cherishes the necklace in the past. Now only this necklace can be worthy of my boss's girlfriend. But the price is, hehe, to be honest, it's a bit ridiculously high. After all, this is a game, and you can buy such a string of black gem necklaces even in the real world."
"The price is indeed a little higher." The manager said sincerely: "Because this necklace was sent by a player to consign here, because it was unable to be sold for a long time, he also lowered the limit of the reserve price. Since you want it, you can take the necklace for 12 million gold coins."
"Not divalent?" "Nick" on the side confirmed.
"Not the norm." The manager nodded to "Nick", then looked at me with sincerity.
Now everyone looked at me, and after pretending to think deeply, I said, "Then I want it."
As soon as these words came out, all the other three people in the room breathed a sigh of relief. "Nick" was extremely relaxed, because the 50,000 gold coins must have been obtained, and the rest depends on my attitude. After all, this time I didn't help me much in the bargaining price.
The manager looked relaxed because he finally took off this "sweet rib". Since accepting the consignment necklace two years ago, it has been placed here. After the boss inspected several times, he personally instructed him to deal with it as soon as possible and not to occupy a shelf in vain.
Now that such a sucker finally appeared, of course he would not let it go, and directly gave the lowest price, hoping to deal with it. As expected, the mysterious customer in front of him bought this extremely expensive necklace. In addition to the jewelry store itself getting a part of the commission, he also received part of the commission. It can be said that everyone was happy.
The female salesperson was also very happy for having a not-so-bad commission, but her pursuit of power itself became stronger from this moment. None of the four of us present could have imagined that today's transaction price was super high, but in fact it was an extremely ordinary transaction, which created the birth of a female tycoon in the game world. Of course, that happened several years later.
Of course, it was celebrated after the transaction was successful. "Nick" had long been eyeing the pot of "Du Kang". Now he doesn't have that much wine to drink. Although I provided him with a low price of 100 gold coins per pot, his daily consumption has increased significantly, because his daily consumption is at least more than 20 pots, which is definitely not a large amount for an alcoholic.
I looked at the bottle of wine that looked a bit vintage. Anyway, it was useless to drink it. In fact, from another perspective, the cost of the wine we drink was already included in the 12 million gold coins. I would really be sorry for myself if I didn't drink it back a little.
Before leaving, I thought of the player who consigned the necklace and asked him for his name. But the manager's answer was: "I'm sorry, respectful sir. We have the obligation to keep the identity of the customer confidential. Please don't make things difficult for us." I could only smile helplessly.
A moment later, "Nick" and I returned to our "Diet Tavern". In addition to a small amount of oriental wine, the most common "Diet Tavern" in the "Diet Tavern" are all kinds of oriental professional clothing. For "Western Continent" players who like novelties, these clothes are still very easy to sell. What's more, there are some attribute clothing, which have certain protective effects.
"Boss, take out the necklace quickly and take a look." "Nick" said impatiently.
I nodded, and the black gem necklace appeared in my hand. We carefully studied the necklace and found that the size of each black gem and the density of the silver chain were exactly the same. If I hadn't had a keen sense of energy, I wouldn't have been able to feel the difference.
I pointed out the seven black gems containing huge energy, and then tried to input a small amount of "Taihua power" into one of them.
"Taihua Power" just touched the black gem, and a huge red energy that was thousands of times stronger than my "Taihua Power" instantly burst out, melting the "Taihua Power" cleanly, and then returning to the middle of the black gem.
This process lasted less than a second. But I clearly felt that the red energy was a very pure "fire energy", which I was very sure of.
What makes me most happy is that after a burst of energy, the color of the black gem began to change to red, from the original pure black to the black with red, then to the black and red cross to the last pure fire-like red.
Seeing the whole process of this change, "Nick" and I cheered happily. The change of this black gem made us more confident that it is the "seven-color necklace".
After continuous energy experiments, seven gems of different colors were finally presented to us again. Now I can be sure that the value given by the appraisers who identified this necklace was not for the seven rare gems of different colors, but for the necklace itself, because it is really a piece of equipment.
When the seven gems of various colors finally returned to their original colors, I saw the real name of the "Seven Color Necklace": the chain of the Rainbow Goddess.
But for some reason, there is no attribute display. But I don’t care much about this, because I know that it is very likely because of those black gems. I think when I remove those black gems, it is the true face of the “Rainbow Goddess Chain”.
Now I just need to take the "Rainbow Goddess Chain" and my task list to show it to Old Jack in "Warsaw City" "mercenary union". One million gold coins will compensate me for my small loss this time.
"Boss, where are you going?" "Nick" grabbed me who was eager to return to "Warsaw City".
"Of course it's back to 'Warsaw City'! Is there any problem?" I said in confusion.
"Of course," Nick said with a slightly red face, "But boss, have you forgotten something?"
"What did you forget?" I repeated.
"This-" "Nick"'s thumb rubbed back and forth between his index finger and middle finger, a standard international movement.
"Oh, I understand." I suddenly realized, took out the check book, signed a check of 80,000 gold coins and said, "This time it's really thanks to you. Use these 80,000 gold coins. Don't think it's too little!"
After saying that, "Nick" who was holding the check and smirking quickly ran towards the carriage. Three hours later, I appeared at the "mercenary union" in "Warsaw City" and met Old Jack.
After looking at the "Rainbow Goddess Chain" in my hand, Old Jack showed a satisfied smile on his face and said, "It seems that your ability is good, at least you have a good friend in Lake City!"
Surprised by Old Jack's clever tricks, but thinking about the other party's mysterious identity, I realized it in my heart: "Another level 20 mission is completed, I'm afraid it will cause another sensation, right?"
"Sensation?" Old Jack half-squinted his eyes and glanced at me and said, "There is a sensation, but that was two hours ago, and the next task you originally scheduled was completed by someone else."
"What?" I looked at Old Jack in a confused state with surprise, and then picked up the booklet on the counter with countless tasks and read it. In fact, this is the case! A small level 17 mercenary group with a population of sixteen completed the level 20 quest I scheduled two hours ago - to obtain the three heads of the very famous monster "Miyuan City" and the invincible beast "Hell Three-Headed Dog".
This is a mission released by the "Xiongba Dynasty", because this "Hell Three-Headed Dog" is very restless and appears around "Miyuan City", causing huge damage to players with low levels.
Therefore, in order to eliminate this sinful beast, the "Xiongba Dynasty" issued this mission. Whether it is an individual or a group, just take its three heads to the "mercenary union" and you can get a bounty of ten million gold coins.
In fact, it was because of the bounty of ten million gold coins that I was originally planning to use it as the first task to complete. But Old Jack stopped me and personally arranged the order of three tasks for me.
Because I have always chosen to obey based on my trust in Old Jack. But it turns out that Old Jack did not make any mistakes. The only mistake is that the plan is not as fast as the change.
I, who was extremely regretful in my heart, asked a little depressedly: "So what is the next task?"
A list of tasks came to me silently: killing the "Hell Demon Wolf" who avenged the dead "Hell Three-headed Dog", bounty of 20 million gold coins, and a magical equipment made by the most outstanding blacksmith in the "Western Continent".
The magic equipment is not very much in my eyes, but the bounty of 20 million gold coins is definitely a huge temptation. And with my strength, I should be able to compete with the "Hell Demon Wolf", otherwise Old Jack would never assign me such a task.
When the mercenaries in the lobby of the "Mercenary Union" were clamoring for someone who had just appeared in the notice to complete the search for the "Seven-Colored Necklace", I quietly left the "Mercenary Union" with the "Black Hawk" and embarked on the mission journey again.
Chapter completed!
