Lu Qingjia woke up again by falling asleep, and it was already morning.
He found that this dream seemed to be a turn-based battle between humans and ghosts. As long as the winner was decided, no matter how long the dream was, it would be morning after waking up.
There is no such thing as lack of sleep in the middle of the night, falling asleep for the second time and entering a dream again. Of course, the situation is the same with Fatty.
Lu Qingjia glanced at the paper-wrapped mobile phone in his hand, which had turned into black ash in his hand.
However, logging in to WeChat with a mobile phone in reality actually resulted in an extra transfer, but the amount did not match the dream.
The transfer received in the dream was five thousand yuan, but in reality it was only five hundred.
This is also very easy to explain, perhaps because the currency in the underworld is not equal to the purchasing power of the underworld.
Just like the money he brought in, didn't the amount of tens of billions still become less than 300 yuan? It can be seen that in that world, the value of currency is different according to its origin and cost. Whether it is the underworld or the underworld, it will be automatically converted into the purchasing power of the world.
The 5,000 yuan did not turn into a pile of waste paper, and it was not burned to their family by people in reality. It should have been obtained through labor or fraud. The purchasing power of this money should be able to be converted into the realm of yin and yang. The purchasing power gap of normal currencies is proportional.
Of course, Fatty's money is another calculation, because it is directly linked to Fatty's life, and it cannot be converted into paper money in the underworld. I think there may be other uses besides buying things in the underworld.
To find out the specifics, Lu Qingjia felt that he still had to take Fatty into a dream tonight.
After two days of restlessness, the fat man finally recovered a lot of energy. I don't know if it was because Lu Qingjia helped him get a sum of money back, but this guy finally had some flesh on his face, and he didn't look scary like before.
But the fat man who was eating breakfast listened to Lu Qingjia's words, and shook his head quickly: "Is it going? No, no, brother, there are still dozens of kilograms to make up."
Lu Qingjia said: "I can't do it if I don't go. I left too many clues last night. If that house goes out and calls the police, I'm afraid I'll be handcuffed as soon as I go in tonight. If I don't wake up tomorrow, I'll still have to replace you. on your own."
Fatty almost cried when he heard this. To be honest, it was so easy for Lu Qingjia to chop vegetables and melons for two consecutive nights to get back the amount he was cheated out of. It really made Fatty feel that Lu Qingjia was nothing more than that.
From childhood to mainland Qingjia, although he has a bad heart and likes to tease them, his cleverness and agility are often relied on when things happen.
Fatty also understood that it would be shameless to dump all his life-and-death matters on Lu Qingjia.
"You will wake up when the situation is not right. I will stay there. I will never be deceived this time."
Lu Qingjia smiled: "We each take half the money at night."
Then he started to use the fat man to work, and the fat man complained that he had to fight at night without letting him go.
Lu Qingjia said, "Look at your current body shape? If you don't exercise or go on a diet, you can lose weight in just a few days. Where can you find such a good thing?"
"Don't you want to get off the list all day long? You're more active now and your body is firm, so people can make arrangements for you."
Hearing this, the fat man was like a shot of chicken blood, and he worked harder all day than the two strong men Lu Qingjia invited.
In the evening, Lu Qingjia divided the money in two, but considering the different time and place of falling asleep, there may be differences in the destination.
He slept in the same bedroom with the fat man, and ordered the fat man with the second sleep skill to confirm that he was asleep before falling asleep.
After some preparations, there was barely any error in time and place, and Fatty fell into the dream a few seconds later than him.
This time around is a lively night market, a bit like a characteristic shopping street crowded with tourists.
There was a lot of people around, and there were calls to greet customers with loudspeakers everywhere. Among the service staff, there were many people with pale faces, bright red rouge on their cheeks, and slightly stiff movements, they should be paper figurines.
These details also gave this originally lively and bright night market a strange and gloomy look. The fat man did not dare to look closely at the paper figures, thinking that all the people present were actually ghosts, and he shrank his body and did not dare to glance around, and grabbed Lu tightly. Qing Jia's arm—
"Jiajia, let's change the place. There are many people here, and you don't say that you left a lot of flaws last night, is it possible that ghosts are looking for you?"
Lu Qingjia said, "Oh, don't worry about that."
"What?"
"Let's not talk about whether the sword in the underworld can cut the soul of the world. The old woman's family dares to take money linked to your life, which is equivalent to murder. If you report it to the police and get involved, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat and walk away."
"So with a high probability, they can't make a statement at all."
"Worzhny Code—" The fat man had a grim expression on his face, as if he wanted to explode on the spot.
Lu Qingjia patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this game is really simple."
"That family only knows some market tricks and scams. They don't have any technical content. They can turn against the generals by following their greed, and they don't even deserve me to set up a trick."
"Your previous optimism was right, be happy, it's a good thing."
Fatty looked at him blankly: "So who did you set up on purpose?"
Lu Qingjia froze, and then looked at Fatty with a kinder gaze, which made Fatty shiver.
After that, Lu Qingjia really went shopping casually, not to mention that the things in the ghost market are similar to reality in terms of product types and quality differences.
Lu Qingjia even tried all kinds of snacks on the street. I don't know if it is because the underworld is more competitive, but the taste is generally better than reality.
Fatty carefully avoided the surrounding ghosts and living paper figurines, and looked at Lu Qingjia who was full of interest: "Did you really go shopping?"
Lu Qingjia said: "The prices here are not close to reality, but the currency exchange rate is ten to one, which is equivalent to buying and earning."
"If you can go back and forth indefinitely, you can make a fortune just by reselling."
Fatty shook his head quickly: "I'd better be my honorable people's teacher. Even though the salary is lower, it won't mean that someone will cheat my life."
Having said this, the two walked into a department store, where there were all kinds of goods, and even a lot of second-hand luxury goods.
A paper-man shopping guide lady wearing a red cheongsam received them with pale lips and blush dripping blood.
Lu Qingjia has a lot of money at the moment. Apart from Fatty's hundreds of dollars and the thousands he knocked out yesterday, after knowing the quality conversion of the actual coin, he called and sent some scorpions with high-quality workmanship. Coins come.
It looks like he has tens of thousands of dollars on him now.
Ignoring the fat man shivering and not daring to look at the paper man shopping guide, Lu Qingjia pointed to the real products and paper products on the shelf and asked, "How long are these two used?"
Lu Qingjia realized the problem the first night when she saw the paper-bound product in the store, and confirmed it after waking up this morning after the paper-bound mobile phone was scrapped.
There are two forms of commodity existence in the underworld, one is paper and the other is real. The two cannot be the same.
The proof is that the two Chinese cigarettes that go in and out of the dream, whether in reality or in a dream, they are all cigarettes, and they have never been in the form of paper sticks.
If all the things in the underworld can exist in the form of paper bundles and turn into reality when needed, then the existence of containers is not necessary at all, and all paper products will save more space.
And in the stores I saw, paper products and real products coexisted, but the prices were very different.
For example, the Rolex watches in the second-hand luxury goods area, looking at the real second-hand goods, the price ranges from tens of thousands, and the paper ones are only tens of dollars.
Since it is generally sold, it means that the product does have use value, just like his short-lived paper mobile phone last night.
Then the difference between the two products is clear at a glance.
Sure enough, the answer from the paperman shopping guide confirmed Lu Qingjia's speculation: "The service life of local products is comparable to that of Yangshi, and there are slight differences according to personal usage habits."
"Paper-bound products have a useful time at the bottom, and you can choose according to the price. After unpacking, the paper-bound products will start to count as usage time."
Lu Qingjia nodded, and then took out the coins that were related to Fatty's life: "How about using this to buy?"
When Miss Paper Man saw this currency, the smile on her face became a little more eager, and the blush and the corners of her lips seemed to be dripping blood, scaring the fat man to hide behind Lu Qingjia.
The other party said in a slightly stiff voice: "Although the purchasing power of soul coins is equivalent to that of ordinary currencies, the paper-bound goods purchased with soul coins can erase the limited utility time, please use them carefully."
"I recommend my gentleman to buy this garden villa. Although relatives in Yangjian will burn the residence during the funeral, the use time is only one year, which is only enough for people to adapt to the period without being displaced, and the real estate purchased by soul coins will never expire. Your living cost in the underworld will also be greatly reduced, and you can even have a stable income by renting out extra rooms, which is absolutely worthwhile.”
It turns out that the money is really important, so important that it is the capital for a ghost to start anew. It is no wonder that the old woman's family is desperately trying to cheat it.
Hearing the words, the fat man hurriedly put away the money: "Damn, it seems that this thing is not only important when you are alive, but also needs to be well arranged when you die. If you don't know about it at first, you will have no place to cry."
After figuring out what he wanted to know, Lu Qingjia did not disappoint Miss Paper Man, and bought a second-hand Rolex watch for tens of thousands of dollars.
Although Miss Paper Man regretted that they didn't use Soul Coins, it was a big deal, and the service became more and more attentive.
When the two came out of the store, Lu Qingjia directly put the watch on his hand, a faint smile flashed across his lips, and he pulled the fat man to a place where there were few people.
The fat man was relieved when he left the place where the ghosts were moving, when he saw a ghost riding a bicycle in front of him, and a bunch of pink paper fell from it.
The fat man hurriedly took a few steps forward, and when he saw that it was a stack of money, it looked like it was 10,000 thin, and was about to pick it up.
A person jumped out from the side, picked up the money first, and said with a smile: "Brother, whoever sees it has a share."
"Let's share the money equally."
Fatty was about to say that he didn't plan to cheat when he heard Lu Qingjia say, "Yes.
Fatty glanced at Lu Qingjia. Although he couldn't trust this guy's integrity, he wasn't a greedy person since he was a child.
If he deliberately took advantage of someone, he must just like to see the expression of the person being taken advantage of. So the fat man immediately realized that there was a situation, so he shut up and remained silent.
The middle-aged man smiled when he saw this, as if his brother was on the road just like you and me.
The two sides were about to split the money when they saw the bicycle just back on the same road.
The man hurriedly hid the money in the inner pocket of his shirt, and saw the owner get out of the car in a hurry, and saw several people at the scene: "Did you pick up any money?"
The middle-aged man naturally shook his head in denial: "No, my cousin and I just came out of the night market and were going home."
The owner said anxiously: "Impossible, I felt that it just fell here. I didn't think much about it at first. After walking for a while, I really lost my money. Who are you?"
"It's really not!" The man also plausibly said, "You can't open your mouth and you can't make a false accusation? Then I said that you touched porcelain."
The owner said: "It's not that there is no one around here. I called the police and asked the ghost courier to ask. In just a few minutes, someone must have seen it."
The middle-aged man's face was unnatural for a moment, as if he was afraid that he would call the police or trouble, so he pretended to be frank: "Xingxingxing, I'm afraid of you, first tell me how much money you lost, what characteristics, we will open. Can I check it out for you?"
After the owner said it, he opened his bag and put two stacks of money in it. He showed it to the owner and said, "I just took this money from the bank, and the number is still connected. Here, there is also a receipt for withdrawal. ."
After showing his own, he greeted Lu Qingjia and Fatty and said, "Come on, open your bag and show him."
Lu Qingjia also looked like he was eager to prove his innocence and wanted to work together to get rid of the lost owner, and took out the remaining money from him and Fatty: "Look, we add up to less than four thousand, more than you said. It's a long way off, and we're in bulk."
The middle-aged man also helped, and took the money from Lu Qingjia's hand and showed it to the owner: "Look, all the cash we have is here, isn't it yours?"
The owner took a closer look, cursed inwardly, and rode away angrily.
The middle-aged man stuffed Lu Qingjia and the others' money into his 20,000 yuan, and before the two became suspicious, he handed the bag containing the money to Lu Qingjia: "Brother, I'm afraid that man hasn't gone far, you put it first. Come on, we'll go to a safe place to divide later."
Lu Qingjia smiled and agreed, but Fatty was relieved to see the money back in their hands.
Seeing Lu Qingjia put the black leather bag with money into the box he brought in with him, he walked forward for a while, and after confirming that there was no one around, he opened the box and took out the leather bag. 20,000 was returned to the middle-aged man.
Finally, divide the money that was picked up and hidden by the middle-aged man.
As a result, before opening the purse, I heard the bicycle bell again, mixed with the sound of the owner looking for someone.
The middle-aged man grabbed the purse and said to Lu Qingjia, "No, I guess I heard something from an eyewitness."
As he spoke, he used the cover in the dark to stuff the hidden 10,000 pieces of brain into a black leather bag and handed it to Lu Qingjia: "Leave it for now, and act accordingly."
The fat man was more nervous than being a thief by this startling situation, and in the blink of an eye he came to them again.
When the owner saw the three of them, he stepped forward in exasperation and grabbed the middle-aged man's collar: "Fuck you, someone just told me that you picked up the money there."
"Where are you hiding? Say it!"
"Didn't they all check for you?" the middle-aged man said.
The owner sneered: "I only saw your bag, but I haven't searched your body yet. It's not a problem for you to hide a small amount of tens of thousands of dollars, right? I'm sorry I didn't hold the evidence just now, but now I'll search your body immediately, otherwise you will be a ghost. I know."
The middle-aged man looked angry when he saw the situation: "You have to make an inch, don't you? Don't you look at the few people around you in the dead of night, the few of us."
The three big men on their side, the owner was indeed a little apprehensive when he heard the words.
Then I heard the middle-aged man's words change: "But we are all law-abiding good people, not scoundrels. Since you said that the money was picked up by us, then we must be innocent."
"Well, I'll go to the ghost office with you and assist in the investigation. There are elderly people at home, so our cousins will not be together."
The owner hesitated and said, "Okay."
With such an agreement, the middle-aged man pulled Lu Qingjia and Fatty aside and said, "Brother, you have also seen that this guy is a stalker, and he can't go to hell with him with money."
"You take the money first. Let's meet outside the self-service bank next to the entrance of the night market in a while. We will divide it later."
"But all the money is on you, as well as the 20,000 I just took. When you meet by chance, it would be empty to say that you trust."
"You have something of equal value on your body, bet on me, and let your brother feel at ease."
As he spoke, he glanced at the Rolex on Lu Qingjia's wrist.
Lu Qingjia smiled, but said, "My watch is 20,000 more expensive than the sum of all the money on the three of us."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "This stuff can only be sold at such a high price if it is sold by a regular store. It's not bad to find someone to sell it in private and sell it for half the price. I can't do it."
Lu Qingjia nodded: "This is also true."
He quickly took off the watch, avoiding the owner's sight, and handed it to the middle-aged man, who took the watch and stuffed it in his pocket immediately.
Then the middle-aged man left with the owner, watching their backs disappear, Lu Qingjia and Fatty then left the place.
The fat man wiped his cold sweat: "Mom's nervousness is killing me, so I can't be greedy for petty cheapness. I didn't have that greed and magnanimity at the beginning, and then I won't be like riding a roller coaster."
He added: "I said, wait a while to meet up with that buddy, let's persuade him not to take the money?"
Lu Qingjia looked at the fat man with caring eyes for the mentally retarded, then took out the black leather bag with all the money that the middle-aged man gave him, without looking at it and throwing it on the side of the road.
The fat man flew over and caught it: "Dad, there's my soul coin in here."
As he said that, he quickly opened the purse, only to see that the bulging purse was full of fake pink banknotes with rough texture.
