When they heard that Xu Le and Gu Beichen both wanted the elemental fruit in front of them, the atmosphere in the team gradually became subtle.
Healthy competition is welcome everywhere.
But competition has to have a limit.
For example, a small fight of 300-500 yuan. This way, the competition will not be too fierce, the income of the night watchmen will be acceptable, and winning or losing will not be a big deal.
But Gan has already clearly stated the value of the fruit in front of him.
It’s too high, the starting price is 50,000 or even more than 100,000.
No one can give in to this kind of thing with a smile.
Competition can easily lead to disagreements and hostility, especially between Gu Beichen and Xu Le, who are somewhat contradictory in themselves.
"You want both?"
"Yes, I do."
"I want one too."
Bai Jing nodded. To be honest, it was the first time for the team to obtain something of such great value.
So I have never had similar experience before.
Auction
Even if it can be sold at a very high price, the final result is likely to be that neither party can get it.
Both warlocks would probably be unhappy.
But if it is an internal allocation, how should it be allocated
Bai Jing pinched her eyebrows.
“I’ll give you two five minutes to discuss it among yourselves.
If there is a result, then we will follow the result between you. If there is no result, then we will put it up for auction.
Although an element of electricity is very valuable, I don't want to make you enemies just because of a fruit.
Let's assign other things and let them chat."
"no problem."
"good."
Since Bai Jing has spoken, others generally agree.
As a very prestigious captain, Bai Jing's allocations are generally more in line with the interests of the team.
Xu Le and Gu Beichen had already walked to the side at this time.
Before he could even open his mouth, Gu Beichen got straight to the point and said:
"What do you want in exchange for giving up this fruit?"
Xu Le frowned. His arrogant look was really annoying.
"I can't give up. You are the one who should give up."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"I own 20% of the fruit distribution rights, and Teacher Gan owns 30% of the fruit distribution rights.
As everyone knows, Teacher Gan is very caring towards me. I kowtowed to him a few times.
If I can get the 30% distribution rights, I will have 50% ownership, so you have no chance. "
Gu Beichen was a little confused. Although what Xu Le said sounded ridiculous, if you were to be serious about it, his statement was indeed very feasible.
"Although what you said is quite right, there is one thing you forgot. The fruit costs money."
Xu Le smiled confidently:
“I have no money now, but not having money now does not mean I will have no money in the future. I am a Red Moon Warlock and I have a bright future.
And even if I don’t, do you have it?”
Gu Beichen sneered and took out his often used warlock staff from behind:
"Look at this collector's edition Red Moon Cane of mine. Does it look like a down payment on your house?"
Xu Le was silent for a few seconds. It wasn't that he was scared, but that he couldn't find the right words to fight back.
However, Gu Beichen did not include Hu either, he added directly:
"Oh, I forgot, you live in the night watchman's dormitory, you don't have a house."
Xu Le felt a pain in his heart and said, this person is so annoying...
Yes, Xu Le doesn’t have such a sour and smelly thing as money.
But Xu Le still had some stubbornness.
"What's wrong with having some money? Do you have 100,000 in cash?"
"I have, what's wrong?"
Xu Le: …
Why is this world so unequal? Why can't we choose our father at the beginning
He was somewhat helpless and could only take a deep breath, then enter the ethereal state and analyze the current situation clearly.
Gu Beichen has money and he has no money, so there is no point in competing.
When it comes to this kind of distribution, it all comes down to money.
etc…
Rich? He has money
Xu Le's eyes suddenly lit up. If Gu Beichen had money, that would be a good thing for him in a sense.
The prerequisite is that I can convince him.
Xu Le pondered for a while, then asked:
"We still have about 3 minutes. Can you tell me what you want this fruit for?"
"Of course it's to improve my combat effectiveness. Integrating electrical elements into flames should make my flames more powerful."
Xu Le frowned. Just to improve his combat effectiveness
Can't we find some useful uses for something like electricity
"If you just want to improve your combat power, wouldn't other elements be good too? For example, how about ice?"
"What's the meaning?"
Gu Beichen was a little confused, but Xu Le saw an opportunity in his eyes.
“This is electricity, not thunder. The power of lower-level elements is not as strong as you think.
The development cycle is also very long, and even if electricity is melted into flames, it should not become the so-called thunderfire.
Ice is different. The alternation of hot and cold can bring additional destructive power.
The ice element also has extremely strong defensive capabilities.
Don’t you think about how fragile you were when you fought against the Blastoise? You were knocked unconscious by a slap. You were so embarrassed that you couldn’t even last as long as a level 1 warlock like me…”
When he got to this point, Gu Beichen interrupted Xu Le:
"If you can't speak, I suggest you sew your mouth shut."
"I'm pointing out your shortcomings in combat, hey, don't go.
What I mean is that electricity cannot bring you a qualitative change in your combat capabilities, the destructive power of fire and explosion is enough.
But ice can bring about a qualitative change in your combat mode, and your defense and temperature control will be qualitatively improved. What do you think?"
Gu Beichen narrowed his eyes and watched Xu Le bragging for a long time, then shook his head in disdain:
"And then? What's here is an electric fruit. Don't try to impress me with such hypothetical tactics.
I don’t buy it unless you really have an ice…”
"I really do." Xu Le said seriously.
Gu Beichen paused and laughed again, but this time his smile was a little stiffer than before.
"Oh, you're not just unreliable, but you also like to daydream
I advise you to be more down-to-earth. If you continue like this, you will inevitably be beaten by society."
"I really do." Xu Le said seriously again.
"I...you..."
Gu Beichen hesitated to speak, then scratched his forehead, grabbed Xu Le by the collar, and walked towards the corner.
The two grown men squeezed into the corner, and the scene was particularly unbearable to watch.
Bai Jing and the others also saw this scene. Niu Yuan couldn't help but ask:
"What's going on? Have we entered the second stage? Hey, in public."
Bai Jing also smiled:
"There is a new emotional exchange and interaction between the team members, which is very helpful in enhancing feelings and reducing conflicts. This is a good thing."
Xu Le had been dragged to the corner by Gu Beichen.
He felt a stick pressing against him. Well, he took a closer look and saw it was a warlock's staff. Fortunately.
"You really have it?" In addition to shock, there was also some expectation in Gu Beichen's eyes.
Just like Xu Le said, his defensive ability is indeed problematic.
The ice element is indeed a fruit ability that is very compatible with fire.
If the ability of the fruit can be developed to the point where it can become an element of its own, then the defensive power of ice will definitely be extremely strong.
And the contrast between ice and fire is very exciting just to think about.
"I really do."
"What about the fruit?"
"How could I possibly carry something like this with me? Besides, this matter is of great importance. We need to discuss the price of the fruit and how to trade it clearly."
Xu Le was still trying to reason with Gu Beichen, but now Gu Beichen didn't want to listen to Xu Le at all.
"How can I trust you if I don't see the fruit? Take out the fruit and show it to me first."
"Well... it's not impossible."
"Huh?" Gu Beichen was stunned.
Xu Le's gaze wandered for a while and finally moved to Bai Jing.
"But this kind of thing still has certain risks. How about calling the captain?"
"You don't trust me?"
Xu Le curled his lips and said, "You are not my wife, why should I trust you?"
“Of course not, but wouldn’t it be better to have a witness for this kind of private transaction
Moreover, this matter involves the electric element fruit, which is the team's property.
So I think it is necessary to let the captain come."
Gu Beichen pondered for a while, and finally nodded:
"rational."
Xu Le quickly waved towards Bai Jing:
"Captain, come here. Gu Beichen and I have something to discuss with you. It's very important."
Bai Jing looked at the two of them with a little confusion.
"Important?"
"Yes, it's very important."
Bai Jing saw that Xu Le was serious, so she walked over. Xu Le immediately whispered:
"Captain, I want to sell an elemental fruit to Gu Beichen, and I want you to be a witness."
Bai Jing was a little surprised and she didn't quite believe it.
"You have fruit? Xu Le, you lie too much, be careful not to find a girlfriend"
Xu Le sighed, it seemed that no one believed in him.
"There's no other way. You two, follow me."
"Now?"
"Well, the fruit is in the team."
"Ah? In the team?"
When Gu Beichen was shocked, Bai Jing turned around and said to others:
"You guys should all go and have a rest first. I will arrange the distribution of the profits later."
"yes."
After saying that, the two followed Xu Le.
Under the puzzled gazes of others, Xu Le brought Bai Jing and Gu Beichen to the outside of the team's men's locker room.
"locker room?"
"There's no one inside now, the captain should be able to go in."
Gu Beichen and Bai Jing nodded and followed Xu Le to his closet.
Xu Le took out a few old clothes, and then took out a round object wrapped in toilet paper from the innermost part.
Under the slightly suspicious gazes of Bai Jing and Gu Beichen, Xu Le peeled off the toilet paper.
A gust of cold air followed.
Bai Jing: …
Gu Beichen...
"You actually... put the Ancient Sound Multi-Element Fruit in the locker in the locker room?"
"What a waste! What a waste! Putting it together with socks, how can I eat it?"
Xu Le rolled his eyes and explained to himself:
"It's because this thing is very valuable, so I put it here."
"Why?"
"Just think about it, if you keep this kind of thing at home, what will you do if your home is robbed
As for the dormitory, the dormitory manager has our room door key. Last time my door broke, the dormitory manager repaired it for me directly, so it is not safe to keep it at home.
If I store it in a bank, it will cost a lot of storage fees. I don’t have the money, so I definitely can’t go.
But it’s different in the Night Watch locker room. First of all, no one would think about a place like a locker room.
Secondly, there won't be any stupid thieves who come to steal the Night's Watch branch, right?"
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that what Xu Le said does make some sense.
"Gu Beichen, what do you say?" Bai Jing asked.
Gu Beichen's eyes have never left Xu Le since he took out the fruit.
Elemental ice is indeed very suitable for the fruit of the fire wizard.
"Xu Le, how much do you plan to sell this fruit for?"
“To be honest, I don’t know the price, so I need to ask the captain to come over and give me an estimate. I’ll be relieved if you don’t worry.
As for the Electric Element Fruit, with your money, I can give more back and less back, so as to achieve a reasonable distribution for the team."
What Xu Le said was true. If he didn't know that Gu Beichen had a wealthy family, he would never have taken out the ice element fruit.
They both looked at Bai Jing, who pondered for a moment:
"I need to ask Gan about the price of the fruit. But Xu Le, although ice and electricity are both lower-level elements, their prices may be different. You should be mentally prepared for this."
"I know."
Xu Le nodded. He was prepared for the difference in fruit prices, but he just didn't know how much the difference would be.
The three of them returned to the team office, and Bai Jing discussed it with Gan, and then compared it with the actual valuation of the fruits in the Lighthouse Exchange in recent months.
Xu Le's ice element fruit was bought by Gu Beichen for 50,000 yuan.
This is really a huge sum of money, more than Xu Le could have imagined.
But is it enough? Far from it.
Because they priced the electric element fruit at 100,000.
This price is not low, but it is definitely not high. If it is auctioned, the price may be higher than 100,000, or even reach 200,000.
But it is also possible that there is no competition and it is sold for less than 100,000, so a price of 100,000 is acceptable to everyone.
Xu Le himself has a 20% distribution right, which is 20,000 + 50,000.
There is still a gap of 30,000.
This gap is too big...
Even if we add in the dividends from the sale of moonstones, warlock combat reimbursements, attendance rewards, etc., there is still a gap of more than 20,000.
Xu Le had no way of taking out this money.
This is the case when the fruit is priced at only 100,000.
"Hey, let's ask Teacher Gan for help."
Helpless Xu Le could only find Gan in the end, because Gan had the right to 30% of the distribution of the spoils. If he could get his approval, everything would be easy.
Standing at the door of Gan's office, Xu Le knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock.
"Come in."
"Teacher, I would like to ask you for help..."
Gan didn't say anything, but just took out a bag of tea and made some for himself.
“I thought you would come to me first, but I didn’t expect you to come to me because you were desperate.
Xu Le, is our relationship that bad?"
"I just don't want to borrow money from you." Xu Le lowered his head.
He really doesn't like to borrow money from others, whether in his previous life or now.
If he didn't really want the fruit and had no other choice, he wouldn't have asked for it.
“In fact, you can regard this situation as an investment from me in you.
Because of you, I became a level 2 warlock, which has been a life-changing help for me.
You can help me, so why can't I help you
Besides, in the Lighthouse, it is normal for civilians to be funded by others, so why are you unwilling to lend money?"
Xu Le pondered for a while and expressed his thoughts:
"Someone once told me that borrowing money is almost the same as cheating. Borrowing money will consume the trust between each other, and in many cases borrowing money will turn into cheating your own people."
Gan was slightly stunned, then after savoring this sentence, he nodded.
“Indeed, for many people, borrowing money is almost the same as cheating people. Borrowing money is the same as cheating people’s money… The person who said this is a wise man.
However, this situation also depends on the individual. When a person has the ability, many people are willing to lend him money."
Xu Le knew this, just like some business tycoons in his previous life.
Even after they go bankrupt, there will still be people investing in them.
"The teacher also said that they are capable people, and people like me..."
"Don't underestimate yourself, Xu Le, you have to understand that you are already a Red Moon Warlock.
Actually, as a Red Moon Warlock, you have many ways to make money."
"A means of making money?"
"For example, helping people with divination!"
"Divination?"
Xu Le knew that Gan was doing divination and telepathic energy diversion work in the branch.
But isn't that a routine part of the branch
"Can fortune-telling make money?"
Gan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Hmm? Are you questioning your career?"
"No, I didn't."
"Okay, go get the fruit from the captain. You didn't do a very good job on this matter. It would be most reasonable to auction off this relatively rare fruit.
So, go ask the captain if there is anything else you need to do.
She should be worried about the mission now. You are smart. Go and see if there is anything you can do to help."
"Oh, I see." Xu Le nodded.
Although Gan said a few words to him, he was still excited inside.
I am finally getting what I have always dreamed of.
Arriving at Bai Jing's office, Xu Le said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Captain, Teacher Gan asked me to..."
"I know. Gan told me before that the fruit is here. Take it."
Xu Le was stunned. Did Gan already expect this
"Captain, is there anything else you need me to do? Xu Le will do his best."
