The old man didn't expect that Tang Ling would say such a thing. Faced with Tang Ling's directness, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst out laughing.
Tang Ling was a little embarrassed by his smile. At this moment, he was thankful that the mask could cover his embarrassed face.
After laughing for several seconds, the old man stopped, then picked up the cigar that had not been completely extinguished on the ashtray made of metal bullet cases and held it in his mouth.
"Boy, if you can't afford it, you don't have to tell me. You can find an excuse to leave." As he spoke, thick smoke came out of the old man's nose and sprayed on Tang Ling's mask.
Tang Ling didn't care about the old man's impolite behavior, and he couldn't care about it, because he caught a glimpse of this sloppy-looking old man with five purple spots on his palms.
"Because I need these weapons." After blowing away the smoke, Tang Ling simply pulled up a stool and sat in front of the old man.
Anyway, the hardest thing to say had been said, and he was completely relaxed, so relaxed that he could flip up the lower part of the mask, and then he also took out a cigarette and lit it.
I'm afraid any merchant would be speechless when hearing Tang Ling's words, right
The old man was not angry. He just looked at Tang Ling and said, "I need money too. Are you kidding me?"
"You pulled me in." Tang Ling said.
Indeed, among so many people coming and going, it was this old man who pulled Tang Ling in. Don't say there was anything special about Tang Ling. Everyone was wearing cloaks and masks, so they looked the same.
This sentence was obviously very useful. As soon as he finished speaking, the old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Ling deeply. After a while, he said, "Then what? If I pull you in, you can get so many things for free. ? Do you think I look like a charity worker?"
He doesn't look like a philanthropist, but he looks like an old friend.
Tang Ling muttered in his heart, but it was impossible to say such a sentence. He just said: "No, boss. I never said that I wanted to get these things for free. I was even willing to pay more than 870,000 Beijing coins." Pay more to get these things if you want."
"Haha, of course I am willing to sell my weapons at a good price. But you can't afford the money now, so what nonsense are you talking about?" The old man waved his hand impatiently, and then picked up the big tea next to the counter. The tank started to drink water with a gurgling sound.
"I'm not bragging. Before I tell you why I'm not bragging, I want to ask you a question." Tang Ling tilted his head.
"You ask." The old man put down the teapot.
"Why do you want to drag me in? I saw that with the strength of your store, there is no need to solicit customers at all. Assuming that you are afraid that your store is in a remote location, so you have no choice but to come out to solicit customers, then any target can be used, and your warehouse can completely conquer them ”
"But you seem to have identified me. Because you said that I have been shopping around for almost two times and you have been observing me."
The old man said nothing and looked deeply at Tang Ling again.
Tang Ling looked very patient and didn't say anything. He just smoked and waited for the old man's answer.
It was like a tug-of-war. In the end, the old man couldn't hold himself back, grabbed Tang Ling, and said somewhat viciously: "Even if I don't tell you why? What can you do to me? I have no patience now. I Gonna throw you out."
"No, everyone has their own secrets, and I have no intention of getting to the bottom of it." Tang Ling put his hand on the old man's, stopping him from throwing him out.
"I just thought I was valuable to you, so you brought me in. So, compared to money, why don't you let me use my value?"
The old man frowned, then smiled. He threw Tang Ling directly onto the chair and said, "Okay, what value do you want to play?"
"You shouldn't ask this, but I should ask you, besides money, what do you need for me to have these weapons? My sincerity has been shown before, that is, I am willing to pay more than 870,000 Zhengjing coins A bigger price. This means that I can do many things for you." Tang Ling was calm and indifferent.
The old man was silent for a second, and suddenly said with emotion: "Smart boy."
"Others have always said this about me." Tang Ling was not modest either.
"What I want is very simple, and it has something to do with my lovely, poor girl." Having said that, the old man didn't want to beat around the bush anymore.
In fact, he had his own regular customers. Tang Ling had no judgment at all on this point. He didn't need to come out to solicit business at all.
Even with the quality of his weapons, he would only dislike the business if it was too good. Doing business only depends on his own mood, whether the customers like to buy or not.
He did drag Tang Ling in on purpose. As for why he dragged Tang Ling in on purpose, that was indeed the old man's secret, but he had never planned anything? He had only just discovered Tang Ling's existence.
After thinking about it, he decided to contact Tang Ling once and take a chance.
He even thought that for this possibility, he was willing to pay some price, such as the weapons he made.
But he never expected that this guy Tang Ling would come in and pick out so many exquisite products without any ceremony.
The old man is indeed rich, but he is not so rich that he can throw away 870,000 Zhengjing coins casually.
Although he is willing to pay this price for the girl, the premise must be based on the facts that have been confirmed, rather than betting on a possibility.
Of course, he was still willing to bet on this possibility. But the price was not 870,000 Beijing coins. He could give Tang Ling a cheaper price, and he was ready to bargain with Tang Ling.
What he didn't expect was that Tang Ling, a boy so direct and smart, would take the initiative to bring the topic to this point. In this case, the old man certainly had no need to hide it.
He had the goods anyway, but he wanted to see how Tang Ling could convince him
When he said the price was about the girl, Tang Ling breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, the girl is only a quasi-Purple Moon Warrior, so no matter how difficult the old man's request is, it is only a request for a quasi-Purple Moon Warrior, and it should be within the scope of what he can accomplish.
"Why don't you ask what the specific conditions are?" The old man hated Tang Ling's confident appearance.
"Your request won't change just because I asked." Tang Ling muttered, put out the cigarette, and suddenly looked at the old man: "Do you have wine? That can make our conversation more relaxed. If you mind, I'll pay Drink money.”
MD, the old man has the urge to swear. Who did this kid learn from, such a shameless style
However, he didn't want to appear too stingy, so he took out two bottles of beer from a dilapidated refrigerator in the corner, put one down heavily in front of Tang Ling, and then said in a muffled voice: "A bottle of wine, I'll give it to you." rise."
Tang Ling smiled happily, biting open the bottle cap with his teeth, and drank a sip of wine. The cold and refreshing wine went into his throat, seeming to extinguish all the embarrassment he had just felt.
The old man looked at it with hatred, and he no longer wanted to talk nonsense with Tang Ling: "I want four things, the moonlight netherworld fish, four colors and more than four colors of mutated sea beads. Finally, a seven-lotus stamen. If you have It’s better than the Seven Lotus Pistils, I’m willing to pay you the price difference. You can choose the weapon or Zhengjing Coin.”
When Tang Ling heard this, he felt even more relaxed. In fact, shouldn't he have expected it? What the old man wants is always something that the Purple Moon Warrior can advance to, because the girl needs it.
Plus it’s resource season again.
But after all calculations, these things are not worth the value of these weapons.
First of all, the Moonlight Netherworld Fish, even the best-looking one, only costs 50,000 Zhengjing coins, and the mutated sea beads with four colors or more can barely be counted as 10,000 Zhengjing coins. Finally, the Seven Lotus stamens are the most valuable. Even an ordinary Seven Lotus stamens costs more than 100,000 Zhengjing coins, but the total is less than a quarter of these weapons.
So the last thing is difficult to deal with? Tang Ling frowned.
But at this time, the old man took a sip of wine and continued: "Moonlight Netherworld Fish, I want more than five. There is no need to talk about less than five. I want ten sea pearls with more than four colors, and there is no talk about less than ten. As for the Seven Lotus Stamens , I want two."
Tang Ling was stunned.
What is this? Wholesale? But the funny thing is that the promotion resources of Ziyue Warriors are not cheaper the more they are needed, but the more they are, the more expensive they are.
How to say? Just like the Starlight Nether Fish, it can make a quasi-Purple Moon warrior feel the universe better within a certain period of time.
But please note that it is within a certain period of time! This time is barely enough for a very small number of people, but for most people, it is not enough at all!
If a quasi-Purple Moon Warrior is to be promoted with absolute guarantee, more than three Starlight Nether Fish are needed.
But the Starlight Nether Fish in a group of three is more expensive than a single one! Some people would say, in this case, if I buy them one by one, I can always make three, right? That was definitely a dream.
After all, it is still a scarce resource. The kind that can be sold individually is leaked out very accidentally, and the quality is generally not good. You should not even think about buying more. It is rare for you to meet such a fishmonger who sells fish piecemeal. , if they could, they would also try their best to get three or more
If it doesn't work, they will sell them individually, just like tasteless ribs, it's a pity to throw them away if they are tasteless. The price will be relatively cheap.
The old man wanted an amount that was definitely larger than the amount that could definitely lead to promotion, and Tang Ling began to settle accounts quickly.
"I'll count five of the finest moonlight ghost fish as 350,000 Zhengjing coins. Isn't that too much?"
"Very reasonable."
"Ten sea pearls with more than four colors, regardless of fineness, I will count them as 150,000 Zhengjing coins. Is there anything fishy about the price?"
"Very suitable."
"I'll count the two seven-lotus stamens as 280,000 Zhengjing coins. Is that very conscientious?"
"Very conscientious."
"Let's not forget about finding a better lotus flower and increasing the price. Let's count these items as 780,000 Zhengjing coins. What about the last item?" Tang Ling asked directly.
In fact, Tang Ling was very frightened.
Unexpectedly, there were so many resources that people dreamed of, and they came in batches for just a few Zhengjing coins. The old man's weapons cost 870,000 Zhengjing coins.
That's also something that can't be helped. No matter how scarce promotion resources are, they can only be used by quasi-Purple Moon warriors. The weapons Tang Ling selected can kill second-level Purple Moon warriors and above!
Although the Moonlight Nether Fish is related to the innate ability of the third-level Purple Moon Warrior, I heard that it requires more than twenty fish.
As for the Sunlight Netherfish, Tang Ling had never thought about it! But the saying is that upper-level Ziyue warriors need them, and the greater the quantity, the higher the price.
The price difference is so cruel, everything is measured around human strength.
Tang Ling felt that he was so poor that he was going crazy from poverty! He even thought that he should get a sun, moon and starlight dragon to sell for money
This idea was crazy and funny, and it was impossible for the old man to know that Tang Ling was so crazy inside at this time. Instead, after Tang Ling asked what the last thing was, he stood up and turned around and walked into the back room.
After about two minutes, the old man came out with a bottle and placed it in front of Tang Ling with a 'dong' sound.
"I want this liquid. The more the better. I can give you one tael as five thousand Zhengjing coins. I will buy as much as you can get."
The bottle the old man brought was transparent, and it contained a blood-red liquid. It looked like blood, but in fact it could still be seen that it was a red liquid.
When he saw the liquid, Tang Ling's heart beat violently, and Xiao Zhong also had a slight reaction.
"I'm really sorry for you, my dear, my beloved, the three lovely Bloodshear brothers! If possible, please turn you into cute little animals in the next life. I promise to kiss you and feed you well. . Plants can also be used, such as Sour Nile Tata.”
This was Tang Ling's inner life, but if the dead brothers Babunu and Manto knew about it, they would probably be so angry that they would come back to life.
Even though he was so excited, Tang Ling's expression did not change at all. Instead, he expressed doubts: "What kind of liquid is this? I don't think I have seen it before. Can you at least tell me its specific characteristics?"
Yes, the three Blood Shear brothers did mention such an island, and there was a blood-colored lake on the island.
Tang Ling also boldly guessed that the liquid in the bloody lake was the liquid the old man needed.
But this is just a guess after all. What if it is just a similar liquid? It's better to ask clearly about this kind of thing.
Tang Ling suppressed his excitement and waited for the old man's answer.
"It's normal if you haven't seen this kind of liquid. Because it is very rare, very few people who have seen it know about it. In its most perfect state, it is no different from blood, and it is called the Tears of the Poseidon. I A bottle cannot be called Poseidon’s Tears, it can only be called Poseidon’s gift, and its concentration is only about one percent of Poseidon’s Tears.”
Tang Ling silently remembered these two names, and then the old man continued: "Other than resembling blood, they have no obvious characteristics. Even if they are used incorrectly, their function will not be reflected at all. However, this thing is a confirmation Their only magic weapon.”
While talking, the old man took out a piece of golden paper and placed it in front of Tang Ling.
"This is a special test paper. No liquid can change it at all. Only Poseidon's tears or Poseidon's gift can make it react. Well, it will change color and turn blue." The old man said. He said while taking a small spoon, which was smaller than an ear pick, and then he painfully and stingily scooped out a little liquid from the bottle and put it on the test paper.
Sure enough, the test paper turned light blue.
"The higher the concentration, the darker the blue it reflects. If it is Poseidon's Tears, it will turn into pure sky blue, just as beautiful as the sky. As long as it is not sky blue, even if it looks like blood, it will reflect No matter how gorgeous the blue color comes out, it cannot be called Poseidon's Tears, it can only be called Poseidon's gift." After saying this, the old man looked at Tang Ling mockingly: "I'm old, you talk too much. It’s impossible to get Poseidon’s Tears. I guess Poseidon’s gift is also a gift to you.”
The old man wanted to say it was an impossible task, but Tang Ling grabbed the piece of golden paper and put it in his arms.
"I'll remember it, and I might get you a ten-eight-pound one. Then, let's calculate the price."
The old man was so angry that Tang Ling almost fainted. Without saying a word, he pulled Tang Ling away and took out the test paper from his arms: "This is so damn expensive, just one piece. Wan Zhengjing coins. Also, I hate braggarts.”
Tang Ling pressed the old man's hand holding the golden test paper, and his tone suddenly became serious: "If you don't give me this, what should I do if I actually meet Poseidon's gift and miss it?"
The old man was stunned, and suddenly felt that Tang Ling's aura became inexplicably different when he became serious, but when he thought of Tang Ling's life experience, he suddenly felt relieved.
His son is always a little different, right
Along with this, the old man thought of the miracles Tang Ling had created one after another, and his expression became a little more relaxed.
He pushed Tang Ling's hand away and tore off a piece of golden test paper and gave it to Tang Ling: "You have met, so many are enough. Even if you meet a lake with so many gifts from Poseidon, just trying once is enough." ”
Tang Ling lowered his head and took the test strip handed over by the old man with a strange expression. He knew that the old man was just teasing, but he was really willing to meet a lake with so many gifts from Poseidon.
Putting the test paper in his arms, Tang Ling said cheerfully: "One to two to five thousand Zhengjing coins. I don't know if this price is fair. But I believe that you will not cheat me. So after calculating it this way, I just need to get you eighteen taels of Poseidon’s gift, and then we can settle the account?”
"You don't need to talk nonsense before." The old man responded angrily. He had almost lost his temper due to Tang Ling's meanness.
"That's good. Leave the weapons to me. It's such a big business, do you mind helping me install those group weapons for free?" As he spoke, Tang Ling took the list the girl had written before and pointed it in front of the old man. Weapon above: "Just like this, and like this"
"I won't argue with you about installation." Before the old man could finish his words, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Tang Ling: "Are you going to take away the weapon now?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?" Tang Ling looked innocent.
"Are you sure you're not talking crazy to me?" The old man's teeth were clenched.
"Of course, we have settled the accounts clearly just now." Tang Ling wished he could take off his mask and show the old man how innocent and sincere he was.
The old man stopped talking, grabbed Tang Ling, walked to the door, and was about to throw Tang Ling out of the store.
At this time, Tang Ling freed up one hand to grasp the door frame tightly, and said solemnly and firmly: "These things can't be taken out now. You are just betting on a possibility. How can you be sure that I can't do it?"
The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "But do you think I'm a fool? Let you be here with nothing?"
"Actually, I'm not greedy. There are better things in your warehouse, and there are a lot of them. They are not what I need. I didn't take more at all, right? Give the weapon to me now, and I will have greater confidence. If Yes, I also want to pay a deposit, but every penny I spend can increase my chances of success. If you were me, what would you do?" The old man's strength was too great. Tang Ling grabbed the metal door frame. The door frame was almost stretched out of shape.
The old man's strength was a little weaker.
"You came to me and told me so much. You must have your own reasons! If you are not sure about me at all, you don't have to talk nonsense." As he spoke, Tang Ling let go of the door frame again hand, and then pulled off his mask.
"Stop playing guessing games. You must know, right? You know I am Tang Ling."
The old man let go of Tang Ling, but blocked the door and had no intention of letting Tang Ling in. This kid was terrifyingly smart and even more troublesome than his father, Tang Feng.
"Is there any way? If you are afraid that I will run away, there must be some way for us to break the contract, right?" Tang Ling said tentatively.
The old man rolled his eyes and looked at Tang Ling: "Do you really think this is a magical world? Do you want to sign a life and death contract?!"
"I am willing to sign a contract with you." Tang Ling said this. He had no way to convince the old man of his credibility, but he had to give it a try. If it doesn't work, he can only pay a deposit and leave it here, but he needs money to make himself stronger!
Unexpectedly, his words made the old man suddenly fall silent. After thinking for a long time, the old man said: "It is not impossible to sign a contract. But you have to keep at least three of your most precious things."
Tang Ling suddenly raised his head and clenched his fists.
"What?" The old man raised his eyebrows.
How to choose? Tang Ling's mind was in a state of confusion. He had always been a decisive person, but at this moment he was extremely hesitant.
The old man did not rush Tang Ling, he knew Tang Feng well. If Tang Ling was his son, the precious things they valued must be things that they couldn't abandon from their bones and souls. They would definitely take this kind of things back even if they risked their lives.
Thinking of this, the old man remembered some past events and sighed lightly in his heart. No matter how outstanding or invincible a person is, they still have a key point, just like Tang Feng, or this kid in front of him who is bound to rise - Tang Ling.
If he was not sure before, the old man is 100% sure now.
"I'll sign." Tang Ling finally made up his mind after thinking for about half a minute.
"Then come in." The old man finally stepped aside and let Tang Ling enter the room.
**
Two contracts were quickly placed on the table, with Tang Ling's name and Tang Ling's fingerprints solemnly signed on them.
The old man also put his fingerprint on it and signed his name - Wu Mi.
Tang Ling took the contract and asked with a little doubt: "Is this your real name?"
"Haha, you came to Sochi Island. Speaking of martial arts fans, everyone knows it's me! No one dares to use the same name as me." The old man replied with a half-smile, and his tone sounded like Tang Ling's unnecessary question.
"Okay." Tang Ling put away the contract very carefully.
Then he looked at Mr. Wu solemnly, took a deep breath, and then took off his necklace from his neck and placed it in front of Mr. Wu.
Martial arts fans looked at this necklace and felt a little baffled. The chain was made of A-grade alloy, but the pendant turned out to be just a Zhengjing coin.
Then, Tang Ling took off the small leather bag he carried with him and took out a palm-sized jar. The outer body of the jar was made of S-class alloy. Tang Ling opened the outer shell and found an ordinary clay jar inside.
Finally, with trembling hands, Tang Ling took out a piece of neatly folded cloth, only the size of a square, from the bag. When he unfolded it, he found a blood-stained and roughly patched tattered skirt.
These things seemed very funny, and martial arts fans found them baffling at first, but now they have become serious and asked directly: "What are these?"
"This Zhengjing coin was left to me by my sleeping uncle. His name is Su Xiao. If you know that I am Tang Ling, then you can find out something." Tang Ling rubbed the Zhengjing coin with his fingers. currency.
The old man's expression changed slightly, then he picked up the cigar and took a puff as if nothing had happened.
"This is my mother-in-law's ashes. Please take good care of it." Although Tang Ling's tone was calm, behind this calm tone, there was a force that must be faced squarely, and a feeling that people did not dare to treat it carelessly.
"Finally, this is the skirt my sister left behind. I only have this, not even the ashes, so I can't let anything go wrong." Tang Ling raised his head and looked at the martial arts fan.
The martial arts fan originally wanted to say, what do you think I will do with these things? But I don’t know why when the words came to my lips, they turned into: "I will keep them well and put them in the safest place. The premise is that you must come back here according to the time stated in the contract."
"Don't worry, I won't break this contract even if I die." Tang Ling's tone was still calm, as if he was talking about something as ordinary as eating and drinking.
But at this time, no one dared to doubt the authenticity of Tang Ling's words.
Looking at Tang Ling, the martial arts fan suddenly felt that he had gone too far? But when his eyes fell on the Zhengjing coin, he felt calm again, everything was for the girl.
Even so, the martial arts fan asked inexplicably: "You won't hate me because I asked you to mortgage your most precious thing, right?"
"I'm not that stingy. You just saved it for me. Besides, I'm reasonable, and this is what it should be." Tang Ling suddenly smiled, very sincerely.
Brat.
The martial arts fan cursed in his heart and suddenly felt a lot of affection for Tang Ling.
"That's how it's decided, right? I've already told you which ship I'm on. Your installation won't be blocked, right?" Tang Ling changed the subject.
"Nonsense, I'm very experienced, don't worry." The martial arts fan waved his hand impatiently.
"This matter must be kept absolutely confidential." Tang Ling became serious again.
"Don't worry, no one will know about this. I still have some means." The martial arts fan became even more impatient.
"Then I'm leaving." Time was running out, and Tang Ling felt that he had nothing to say.
When he reached the door, Tang Ling suddenly stopped and looked at the old man again.
"Um, is the girl's name Sulu?"
"Did you call me girl? What's Su Lu?" The old man raised his head and looked at Tang Ling with some anger and some confusion. His expression was very natural and there was no trace of acting.
"Then you can't just call her girl by name, right? Help me say sorry to her." Tang Ling shrugged.
"Her name is Chen Ning. Next time you bring the things stipulated in the contract and come to apologize to her in person." The old man lowered his head as he spoke and started carving his metal carvings again.
"Let me tell you, there are no such coincidences in the world. Uncle Su Xiao's rugged appearance cannot give birth to such a delicate daughter." Tang Ling muttered in his heart, opened the door and left. He was only slightly suspicious, but he was absolutely Not a person who believes in bullshit.
Obviously Chen Ning's scar did not affect Tang Ling's judgment of her appearance. After all, Tang Ling's precise instinct made Tang Ling a person who could put aside appearances and look at the essence.
In addition, Tang Ling heard the image of Su Xiao in his mind, and he couldn't help but start to imagine what Su Xiao would look like if she were a woman.
The result of the piece together gave Tang Ling several goosebumps, and he decided to stop this self-abuse behavior.
But don’t they all say that daughters look like their fathers? Tang Ling had goosebumps all over his body again.
**
The most expensive weapon in the original plan actually didn't cost a penny, and Tang Ling suddenly felt much more relaxed.
What will the remaining money be used for? The answer is yes, it’s better to spend every penny here.
At this time, Tang Ling had arrived at the resource area, and the resource areas of the Sochi black market were still divided very carefully.
This area of shops full of primitive style is where bones of various ferocious beasts are sold.
Tang Ling began to select suitable bones. In fact, according to Xiaozhong's 'urinary nature', it is not picky about food at all. As long as it is the skeleton of a ferocious beast, it can swallow it even at level nine. It is absolutely not afraid of being choked to death.
But Tang Ling's financial resources were limited, so he could only choose the most cost-effective skeletons of ferocious beasts that could be converted into combat power in large quantities at this stage.
Regarding this, Tang Ling had an answer in his mind.
At this stage, the most cost-effective ones are naturally the skeletons of ferocious beasts around level 4, and only the most active and essential parts can be used, which can save a lot of time.
With the set goal in mind, Tang Ling still had plenty of patience. He needed the best price to call it a cost-effective purchase.
In addition, Tang Ling also had to pay attention to the issue of confidentiality.
After spending four hours, Tang Ling spent 200,000 Zhengjing coins here to purchase the needed bones.
But this was a boring purchase. Tang Ling felt that there was no opportunity, as if he didn't take advantage.
The debt was finally paid off. Although I am in debt, I wrote it at 6 o'clock in the morning. Don't be stingy with your guaranteed monthly votes. Please vote for me. Thank you all. After all, it is the first month of 2020. I sincerely hope that Dark Moon will have a great start to the new year, so give it a monthly pass! Even though it’s the Spring Festival this month, and even though I have other work commitments, I will really update it.
