1038. Come, come, come to come, brother Xing Ke, come to teach you today's little financial knowledge, even Nezha can understand
It is said that urban and cultivation novels cannot escape the so-called auction plot from beginning to end. This is both a theorem and a routine of the world. However, use this kind of plot to reflect the protagonist's strength and financial resources, and then find someone to pretend to be 13 and slap him in the face.
The reason is naturally unconventional.
When it was Xingke's turn, he naturally wanted to be free from vulgarity. After all, it would be too embarrassing and boring to play out familiar routines in reality - but at the same time, he would not admit that he had ever had feelings for those orders.
The dark age of young people who believed in people's embarrassing routines and was full of enthusiasm.
To be honest, if it weren't for the grand sale of Ao Bing, he would not choose a place like the slave auction, which is full of very bad education for children, to trade. Just from entering here to
In just a quarter of an hour of searching for the shopkeeper and showing off his illustrious life experience and overwhelming strength, no less than five life and death dramas occurred in Xingke's field of vision, from the powerful monks executing the disobedient trophies on the spot to half-burying them in the ground.
The old demon cultivator sells his disciples and grandchildren in exchange for elixirs, and then the dandy boy checks on the spot whether the female product he bought is original, and so on. The different forms of interactions among all living beings make Xing Ke, a bystander, very satisfied.
After all, these phenomena are performed every day in the large and small slave trading markets of Chaoge City. They are not commonplace, but they still occur everywhere. They are routine matters that do not require surprise or rescue.
If you overact when you meet someone, you will appear to be an ignorant country boy.
Moreover, if a righteous friend named Emiya appeared in such a place, the scene would be as embarrassing as if a fanatical dog-loving speaker appeared in a dog meat hot pot restaurant. Looking at it from the other side, maybe
Maybe there will be a different kind of fun.
"Shopkeeper, is this really the largest slave auction house in Chaoge City? I don't think your foot traffic is that big." Xing Ke sat in the attic on the top floor of the auction house, looking at the people downstairs.
In the hall where people were coming and going, he asked the smiling man standing behind him as if nothing had happened.
"Ha, ha, Mr. Li, to tell you the truth, there are so many large and small establishments in the upper-class elite district of Chaoge City. In a few days, several will close down and several will be built. Among them, those who dare to call themselves
There are several big restaurants including us. Although I don’t know where you got the biggest news about our family, I can guarantee that you are indeed in the right place.” The smiling shopkeeper smiled respectfully.
He said, he knew that the identity and strength of the person in front of him were not simple, so it was definitely necessary to wait carefully.
"You want to say that your family is indeed the largest?" Xingke asked with a smile.
"No, to be precise, our family is the most courageous." The smiling shopkeeper smiled brightly and said very calmly: "When it comes to supply of goods, we are only among the top ten, and when it comes to service venues, we are only among the top five.
When it comes to middle-level sales, our business is not affordable, and naturally we are not the most popular, but we are the most courageous in this industry. We dare to buy any goods and accept any customers, as long as the middle-level sales are enough... Haha,
Our place is never afraid of being contaminated by cause and effect.”
"Oh, that's it. So I'm indeed in the right place." Xing Ke nodded lightly and agreed, "Sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved."
"That's right, our Lingxi Auction House has always been famous..."
"No, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that your place is well-deserved." Xing Ke interrupted the auction house manager who was about to promote himself, and corrected him: "I mean that the legendary [Divination Technique] is really
It's well-deserved. I just casually asked where I should go to buy things to be more auspicious, and the hexagrams guided me to you. And as expected, I picked the one with the most courage. Doesn't this reflect this fairy?
Is your divination skill powerful?"
The Smiling Shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He was not a little annoyed at being interrupted in his promotion, and then he quickly congratulated:
"...Ah, you are a great talent! What a great talent! I have learned such magic at such a young age, and my future achievements will surely be limitless. This is really a blessing for me as a great businessman!~"
"Okay, okay, if you keep praising me for being young and promising, I will be so embarrassed."
I don’t ask you to give me benefits, but I must spread the news about [Lingx Auction House auctioning a pure-blooded mythical beast and dragon girl] in the shortest possible time to everyone in the city, from the princes and nobles to the working beggars.
The publicity is in place...do you understand?"
"Haha, don't worry, I understand what you mean, and I will ensure that your reputation as the Third Master of the Li family will be established in one step..."
"...Oh, you go down first. Sure enough, I still think the person standing behind me must be a cute girl to make the picture more harmonious."
"I understand, I understand. Mr. Li is a very charming person. I'm going to bring you some gifts. They are definitely top-notch products from our store."
"Hmm... Do you think you know the truth?"
"Hey hey hey..."
The smiling shopkeeper just smiled and left. Xingji felt that he had misunderstood something, and stubbornly believed that he was right.
Judging from his external performance, he very subjectively concluded that he was either doing it for money or fame. He figured out that Xingke must be trying to gain fame by betraying a dragon girl and break into the circle of Chaoge City.
And he started to fawn over the third young master of the Li family without any bottom line. He didn't care whether Xingji really liked women or not, but he just wanted to give him gifts when he saw the slightest trend.
This flattering performance of being smart... I have to say, it is really smart. The smart thing is that his performance almost makes Xing Ke think that he is very smart, but he is very superficial.
This very obvious smart-aleck performance is very much like the stereotyped little characters in novels. Their existence is to highlight the greatness of others, so they have the necessity and value of existence.
Moreover, from the beginning to the end, Shopkeeper Smiling Face was trying to figure out the secrets of Xing Ke, but he did not show the slightest intention to find out what secrets Xing Ke held. This invisibly gave Xing Ke a sense of security. As time went by,
As time went by, this sense of security developed into a sense of trust in this auction house, and I unconsciously felt that I could still sell anything here in the future.
As for whether they will investigate Xingke's information and deeds behind the scenes, profile his personality, and set traps against him, that's not certain... So, they are all businessmen, and they are all playing tricks.
Although it's cheesy, it's not stupid.
As for Xing Ke, he is the kind of person who, although not smart, will naturally become better as he gets older - similarly, he will not admit that he has been tricked by the same tricks countless times before, so he has a long memory.
"Ah, the guests have arrived, and my divination is really accurate."
………
"Master, why are you doing this? You just want a little dragon. I just ordered it for you. How dare the shopkeeper here refuse?"
At this time, at the main entrance of the Qingzi Auction House, a young man in mysterious clothes with an unruly attitude glanced at the noisy crowds going around and said dissatisfiedly.
The person he was talking to was a woman in a black dress who stood beside him like a kind big sister.
"Your Majesty, you don't know. This auction happened very suddenly. Within half a day, it alarmed all the dignitaries in Chaoge City. The matter became known to everyone and I was not given a chance to block the news. Even if
Even though you are the king, you must avoid provoking public anger." The woman in black skirt leaned over the slender boy's ear with a gentle smile and explained to him:
"Secretly, this farce is actually a waving flag aimed at a few specific people. Unfortunately, I am one of those people who was targeted. There is a cause and effect."
Because of the height difference, the little boy in black clothes looked like a little brother who was whispering to his elder sister in black dress. Moreover, the soft breeze coming from his ears seemed to make him very uncomfortable. His ears turned red and he tilted his head to hide.
hide.
"Hee hee hee..." The woman in the black dress smiled and moved away a little, and said jokingly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to follow me. This farce is aimed at me. You are playing with Empress Daji in the palace and waiting for her to go."
Yes."
"Uh..." The young man in mysterious clothes, who originally had an unruly attitude and a domineering face, for some reason, his temperament faltered slightly when he heard the name of Empress Daji. Then he straightened his back and said proudly:
"Since I just happened to meet you, Aiqing, and you are worried about this matter, I can't turn a blind eye. With Gu accompanying me, I will definitely get you whatever you want, Imperial Master."
"Hehehe, that's it, that's it, this world belongs to you, the king, it's easy to take care of everything..."
The woman in the black dress smiled and echoed the heroic words of the young man in black clothes, while she narrowed her charming eyes, and a fierce light flashed deep in her eyes.
This incident happened too suddenly. Although Shen Gongbao figured out through divination that someone was targeting him, he was also planning something big. However, no matter who he was or what big thing he was planning to do, it really didn't matter.
Cleared.
and……
Shen Gongbao glanced at the young king next to him, the leader of the Yin and Shang Dynasties whom he had been assisting since his birth. The timing of this incident was so coincidental that he took Di Xin impartially.
When she got involved, it was as if someone who was better at calculation than her was behind her using divination techniques.
But on his side, he calculated that after Ao Bing left the East China Sea for unknown reasons, all the hexagrams and numerology were messed up. Shen Gongbao's destiny, which could still see a glimmer of hope, suddenly returned to chaos, no matter how much he sacrificed.
The price paid to Heaven will never be answered in the slightest.
This feeling is like the despair and confusion that Shen Gongbao had when he calculated that his life was about to end and that he would almost not be able to escape death in a catastrophe in the future.
