"Boss, I want these five first-level magic crystals. How much do they cost?"
"Well, I'll prepare for you when you leave." Ye Qingyu smiled slightly, without showing a trace of reluctance or grievance.
"Market price? But the store not far from you only sells it for seventy crystal coins." The young man continued.
Cangcheng is still bustling and noisy, with people coming and going on the streets and busy traffic.
The pudgy shop owner didn't think it was right when he heard that this kind of haggling happened every day. He curled his lips and said, "This is the price in the market. Do you want it or not?"
So at the beginning, Ye Qinghan bargained and bought the magic crystal without any pressure. So much so that my sister would have to go out to buy magic crystals later. Using the family's golden token to buy things would be a disgrace to the family. If the execution hall knew about it, it would definitely be punished again, so...
Ye Qingyu lowered her head and pondered, her eyebrows slightly raised, which made people feel distressed. But after a while, Ye Qingyu raised her head, raised Xiao Hei in her hand, and asked, "Is it because of Xiao Hei?"
The shop owner was a short, fat middle-aged man. When he saw the voice, he immediately became interested. However, when he saw that the visitor only wanted five of the lowest-level magic crystals, he lost his composure and said casually: "Eighty crystal coins for one." , a total of four hundred crystal coins."
When the shopkeeper saw that this man was buying some small things, he actually attacked him personally. He couldn't help but said angrily: "What do children know? Do you know how far it is from the barbaric city in the barren mountains to here? And you need to hire someone to transport it. Guard, and do you know how expensive the annual fee for Cangcheng's shop is? Buy it or not, or leave."
"Yes, what? Do you have one?" The short and fat shop owner nodded and replied doubtfully. The Ye family is the patron saint of the south. As a descendant of the Ye family, you have more or less certain rights in the south, and the golden token can give you a 50% discount on purchases. But those who own the golden token are direct descendants of the Ye family. Who among the direct descendants would be short of money? Generally speaking, gold tokens are rarely used to buy things.
"Brother, it's so powerful. Summon Xiao Hei out quickly and give it to eat." Ye Qingyu picked up a magic crystal and laughed happily. For her, there is nothing in this world that makes her happy, as long as her brother If she is happy, she will be happy with anything.
"Well, Xiao Hei is out for dinner." Ye Qinghan nodded and summoned the war beast Xiao Hei.
"Okay, please keep the money. I'm leaving. Don't give it away. I will come back to take care of your business when I have time." The young man smiled happily, picked up the five magic crystals and walked out of the store.
The young man smiled again and said: "Hey, boss, I actually discovered something. The store you opened is quite dark. If you go to the wild mountains in the south to buy such a first-class magic crystal, it will only cost you more than ten crystal coins. Why did it change hands and get sixty-five pieces in Cangcheng, six or seven times the profit? You guys are really dark-hearted."
"That's it..." The young man smiled with satisfaction and reached out to take the money from his arms, but he frowned as he suddenly thought of something. One hand was stretched out in his arms, but his head looked around mysteriously. Seeing no one, he leaned towards the boss in a low voice and said in a low voice: "Boss, I remember that having Yejia's golden token seems to be able to Get 50% off!”
"Hey, I bought five magic crystals today. Each one is ten crystal coins cheaper than yesterday."
Moreover, he had three more hours every day to practice fighting spirit, hoping that Xiao Hei would absorb the fighting spirit and grow up.
Niulan Street is a very famous street in Cangcheng. It has an excellent location in the center of Cangcheng. It connects the North City where nobles live and the South City where civilian merchants live. There are many shops here, mostly selling weird and strange things. Both rich and poor people in Cangcheng like to come here to hunt for treasures in the sand and enjoy the taste of Taobao.
"Girl, I want to discuss something with you. I... I want to take a long trip."
But!
The young man chuckled: "I didn't buy it at seventy just now, so let's be less boss."
In desperation, Ye Qinghan had no choice but to take out his savings for many years and go out to buy magic crystals for Xiao Hei to eat to help him survive his period of weakness.
The young man walked into the store and walked straight to the low-level magic crystal counter without looking at anything. He picked up the five first-level magic crystals on the counter and inspected them carefully. He showed a very satisfied expression and said:
It was a beautiful and sunny day with no clouds in the sky.
"One hundred and twenty-five crystal coins." The short and fat landlord suddenly had a black line on his forehead. This business was definitely a loss. Fortunately, this owner bought cheap first-level magic crystals. If he had bought five or six-level magic crystals, Magic Crystal, I don’t know how much I will lose.
"I mean... I want to go on a long trip." Seeing that her sister didn't understand, Ye Qinghan repeated it again.
It has been ten days since Xiao Hei summoned him. On the first day, Ye Qinghan received five magic crystals for Xiao Hei to eat in the family supply hall. He has been keeping Xiao Hei in the war beast space and relying on his fighting spirit to get him through the period of weakness.
The two walked quickly, left Niulan Street, and turned into their own courtyard through the small gate of Yejiabao.
Yes, these two are brother and sister Ye Qinghan. Seeing his sister asking, Ye Qinghan nodded, looked around like a thief, and whispered: "Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
There is no way to go on like this. Xiao Hei is so good at eating, and if this continues, he will definitely eat so much that he can no longer even wear his pants...
"No need to say more, sixty-five." The shop owner gave in again.
"Seventy is seventy. Take the money." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and said.
At this time, it was noon, but a show that made people laugh was staged in a shop specializing in magic crystals.
The two of them smiled and started to pack up, with natural expressions. It seemed that he was not going to Mancheng, which was hundreds of miles away. It seemed that he had been away for half a day instead of half a year.
Thinking of himself wearing a pair of underpants, holding the little war beast and going around begging for magic crystals! Ye Qinghan shuddered and began to think deeply. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he must have an idea in his heart.
"Er... How do you know so clearly? Forget it, I'm afraid of you. I won't sell you fifty crystal coins if you miss one." The short, fat middle-aged man looked like he had seen a ghost.
"rustle!"
The young man didn't take it seriously and continued: "It's a total of 460 kilometers from Mancheng to Cangcheng. For general tasks, mercenary charges are very low. Besides, you transport a large amount of goods at one time. A first-class magic crystal like this is allocated Come down, it only costs one or two crystal coins, and the store fee in Cangcheng, like yours, is fifty amethyst coins a year, which is equivalent to five thousand crystal coins. Boss, am I right? In fact, … I don’t mean anything, I just want you to make it cheaper, hehe.”
All the reluctance to leave, the concern in the mind, and the sorrow of separation were hidden deep in the eyes of the two of them, all unspoken.
"Hey!" The young man touched his head in embarrassment. He reached out and took out a golden token. On the token was a big word "night" with dragons and phoenixes dancing in it. "I'm very ashamed. I am somewhat related to Young Master Ye Qingkuang, so I borrowed his token for fun. Let's settle the score, boss."
Only on the third day, he discovered something tragic.
Since it was noon, there was almost no one in the store. At this time, a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old came to the door. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, with a slim figure and a handsome face.
As soon as the boy left the store, a girl in white quickly approached the store and whispered: "Brother, have you finished buying?"
"Indeed, magic crystals are very cheap in Man City, only a few crystal coins. Our family is poor, you know..." Ye Qinghan smiled bitterly and explained.
Seeing her brother like this, Ye Qingyu finally reacted and asked doubtfully: "Um? Far away, is it very far?"
"Let's go early tomorrow morning. If you go early, you can come back early." Ye Qinghan also laughed, without showing any reluctance or worry.
Although Ye Qinghan is a direct descendant of the family and the grandson of Ye Tianlong... he is very poor, very poor. My father died early, and his father's belongings had long been recovered by the family. After his father passed away, his family's status in the family plummeted. In the beginning, the family's monthly interest was not small, but since my grandfather retired to do nothing, the monthly interest has gradually decreased. So far, it’s basically just enough to eat and drink. After her mother passed away, she spent some money, so Ye Qinghan was very poor, even poorer than the marginalized children of the Ye family.
"What? Eighty-one pieces, why don't you go and grab them?" The young man heard this and said loudly.
Entering the room, Ye Qinghan threw the magic crystal on the table, took a sip of water and said with a smile, seeming to be very satisfied with today's results.
"Oh, go ahead." Ye Qingyu was playing around with Xiao Hei in her arms and said casually without noticing her brother's expression.
Looking at the battle beast Xiao Hei, he looked happy after eating the magic crystal. Ye Qinghan felt a pain in her heart.
A stream of white air overflowed from Ye Qinghan's chest, slowly condensed, and finally turned into a palm-sized war beast, Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei seemed to have just woken up, stretching out his two paws to rub his drunken eyes, when he saw the magic crystal on the table clearly. Suddenly he screamed happily, turned into an afterimage, flew to the table, grabbed the magic crystal and gnawed on it.
"Mancheng is a bit far away. It may take half a year to go back and forth." Ye Qinghan said solemnly, with a look of guilt in his eyes. After all, he left his sister alone at home, helpless.
Xiao Hei no longer absorbs fighting energy and doesn't seem to like this kind of food very much.
