Spirit Stone Hunter
Chapter 9 Padma Corundum
Retrieved the decomposed beef of the bull.Zhan Jiu left Orion District and took the nearest subway back to the city.
Ma Xiaotian worked hard all day again today, and finally made the bracelet mold that he designed yesterday.At two o'clock in the afternoon, he had just made two accessories, but it would take at least one day before he finished twelve accessories. He estimated that in the next three days, he could only make one more ring if he did it right.I don't know if Boss Wang's ring has been sold.There is no information at all online.
When the knock on the door sounded, Ma Xiaotian was stunned for a moment before he realized it, because no one would knock on the door for so many years.Turning on the intercom camera and seeing Zhan Jiu, Ma Xiaotian exhaled, and quickly opened the door. "You are so fast!"
After Zhan Jiu came in, he took back the gates. "I need the key."
Ma Xiaotian is particularly like Fuzuo.Why does this guy have no interest in leaving at all?After thinking about it, since the topic is here, I might as well take the opportunity to ask. "Well... I'll pour you a glass of water first, and then I have something to ask you."
Zhan Jiu grabbed Ma Xiaotian's wrist: "Take out all the things that don't need to be kept fresh in the refrigerator. I brought back a whole bull. It needs a lot of space."
Ma Xiaotian's jaw dropped.He still knew about bulls. In fact, bulls were called bear bulls before, and they were a branch of a huge alien bull.They belonged to the fourth-level beasts. Although they were not rare, they were not cheap.Because the reason why male cattle are finally designated as male cattle is because this kind of cattle has no females, and their way of reproduction is to mate with other cattle, so that the other party will have offspring that belong to their genes.So bulls are considered a good thing that can enhance fertility.The price of a catty in the market is four to five hundred yuan.But in fact, there is really no data to prove how beneficial it is to the human body.It can be seen that no matter what world or era we are in, psychological effects are an indispensable marketing tool.
Seeing Ma Xiaotian's surprised look, Zhan Jiu felt a little happy for some reason. "It's good for two weeks. It's huge."
The rice bucket said that it can be eaten for two weeks!That's definitely big enough!Ma Xiaotian's eyes lit up. "It's so big?! But the refrigerator at home is not big enough."
The corner of Zhan Jiu's mouth also moved, and he realized that he really didn't think carefully.The fact that Ma Xiaotian's house is too small and the household equipment is not big is ignored. "Then put a part of it, and put the rest in the storage bag. There is a two-month preservation period."
Ma Xiaotian was happy: "Okay! But you are really good! Did you hunt a male bull alone? I heard that it is a fourth-level beast, very powerful! And it is so big!"
Zhan Jiu nodded: "It's not very good. Tell me the size of your clothes. I hunted an oil python, and I went to auction it. I asked them to leave me the leather of a suit. Give me the size and let them keep it. .”
"Ah?" Ma Xiaotian was stunned.Oil python skin is such a high-end thing, making clothes for yourself?
Zhan Jiu replied: "As a thank you gift."
Ma Xiaotian quickly shook his head: "Don't! That thing is very expensive! It's not that I don't have clothes, don't let them keep them, sell them all. It's very valuable!"
Zhan Jiu's eyebrows twitched: "Don't like it?"
Ma Xiaotian felt a little powerless: "It's not a question of whether you like it or not. It's a question of whether you need it or not. I know you should come from a rich family. But I'm not. I've always been poor, and I'm really interested in those high-end things. Not interested. If you have that, you might as well give me the rent as a thank you!"
Zhan Jiu wanted to laugh at this moment.But he hardly ever laughed, and he didn't know how to express this feeling.But he nodded with dignity: "Okay. The money from the sale will be used as rent."
After asking Zhan Jiu if he hadn't eaten lunch, Ma Xiaotian quickly picked up a big piece of beef and put it in the pot to cook.When I was young, my parents in this world would cook green radish and beef together, which tasted very good.But there are no green radishes at home, so Ma Xiaotian directly cut potatoes and put them in, which is actually beef stewed with potatoes.After putting away some of the spices he was used to, and setting the temperature and time, he ran to the living room, ready to talk to Zhan Jiu.
After Zhan Jiu washed up, he changed into the home clothes that Ma Xiaotian bought for him.However, the size is not particularly suitable, the sleeves and trouser legs of the clothes are a bit short.Zhan Jiu was not picky about these things, although the quality was far from as good as when he was in the Zhan family, he felt very satisfied.A place with people, people, and people is better than anything else.
"Well... I'll call you Big Brother Zhan, okay? It's a weird name. You should be older than me." Ma Xiaotian said a little guilty.He himself, if this guy doesn't have 28, he will jump off the building!
Sure enough, Zhan Jiu replied: "Don't call me Big Brother, just call me Brother Nine. I'm thirty."
Ma Xiaotian felt balanced.12 years older than myself. "Then Brother Jiu, can you tell me how long you plan to live in my house?"
Zhan Jiu looked at Ma Xiaotian. "Drive me away?"
Ma Xiaotian was taken aback by Zhan Jiu's suddenly cold eyes, and quickly explained: "No! Although I don't know you, I can feel that you are not a bad person, and there should be no place to go now. But I always want to I know the time, Brother Yi. And you can’t live on the ground all the time. Although there is no moisture or anything like that, it’s still not as comfortable as the bed, isn’t it?”
Zhan Jiu nodded: "Yeah. After the oil python is sold, I'll buy a bed when I get the money back. I'll replace yours too, it's not soft enough for comfort."
Ma Xiaotian was stunned again.What's happening here?Didn't you ask when he will leave?How did he want to buy a bed and change his own bed? "No, that's not what I meant!" How did God communicate with him! !
Zhan Jiu withdrew his gaze: "I understand what you mean. But I won't leave soon. Don't worry, I will be responsible for all your tuition and living expenses, including the Lingshi money you need for treatment. Also, I will give you Your rent, water and electricity bills. I will tell you before I leave. I don’t want to talk about other things for now, so you don’t have to ask.”
Ma Xiaotian felt that he must have encountered obstacles in communication.But Zhan Jiu's words were so deadly that he didn't know how to reply.But there is one thing he has to make clear: "I can collect your rent, water and electricity bills, but you don't have to worry about my living expenses." Although it's good to have someone give money, no matter how you hear it, it feels weird.You don't have to rely on others to support yourself!
Zhan Jiu didn't insist, but nodded: "Okay. You say so, so be it."
When Ying Feng came back, the house smelled of beef stew.This reminded him that when he was at home, his brother would also stew beef for himself, and told himself that eating beef was good for his health, and he would even insist on drinking a bowl of broth by himself after he was full.Thinking about those days now, his heart felt a little sour.
Seeing Ying Feng, Ma Xiaotian jumped over immediately: "You came back a bit late today! We are waiting for you to eat!"
Ying Feng patted Ma Xiaotian on the shoulder, looked up and saw Zhan Jiu looking at him, and nodded politely.Then he handed the bought vegetables to Ma Xiaotian: "I escorted a person to the East B2 area today, and I came back a bit late."
Ma Xiaotian took the things: "It's all right. Zhan Jiu brought back the meat of a whole bull. It's really enjoyable! I stewed a big pot of beef with potatoes and beans, and I also fried strips of spicy beef. You will definitely enjoy it if you try it! Now the pot There is also stewed beef here, and tomorrow you two can each bring some for lunch. This way you don’t have to wait until you come back to eat.”
Facing such a caring younger brother, Ying Feng couldn't help but smile. "good."
The three of them had a full meal tonight.Even Zhan Jiuduo didn't finish the soup.Ma Xiaotian preliminarily calculated Zhan Jiu's food intake, and it was true that he had been wronged a little in the past three days.But only a little bit.The guilt in my heart quickly dropped to the lowest point.
At this time, Zhan Jiu proposed: "Let's auction off a stone tomorrow. Then go buy a bed."
Ying Feng's eyes widened immediately.What does it mean to buy a bed? !So he looked at Ma Xiaotian.
Ma Xiaotian was startled, and then hurriedly said: "You can't sleep on the floor all the time, it's good to buy a bed. Hehe, hehe, do you want to change to another bed, Xiaofeng?"
Ying Feng was speechless.Let you ask him when he will leave, and you even talked about buying a bed and changing it!Isn't this kid good at talking?Is this the legendary one thing down one thing?
Anyway, the next day, Ma Xiaotian was taken to the Lingshi Market by Zhan Jiu, and went directly to the primary auction house.
This auction house is different from the rough stone auction in the stone casino.The auctions here are all spirit stones that have already been opened, the size of the product, and whether there are defects are all clear at a glance.The auction price can't be raised that much, but it's definitely much more cost-effective than selling it to a store.
Zhan Jiu has not been in Hexi City for a long time, but all his living expenses before were paid by escorting the spirit stone hunters in exchange for the original stones and finished products of the spirit stones, and then came to auction here.Therefore, he is familiar with several people in charge of the auction house.So as soon as he entered, someone came to receive him. "Master Jiu, you are here!"
There are only three kinds of people who are called "Master" in this place.One is the real status and identity, the other is the rich, and the other is the one who is powerful enough to overwhelm many people.Obviously Zhan Jiu belongs to the last category.He once competed with someone because someone forced him to buy his spirit stone at a low price, but that person was seriously injured and hospitalized.After that, no one dared to provoke him in Lingshi Market in Hexi City, and he was honored as "Jiuye" by those who knew him.
"This is a piece of Padma corundum of 15 grams. I want to auction it here. The reserve price is [-]. As usual, the extra money will be [-] cents." Saying this, Zhan Jiu took out a piece from his storage bag The pink-orange transparent spirit stone, although it has no facets, the perfectly polished egg-faced spirit stone still shines brightly under the light.
Padma corundum is actually the same corundum variety as ruby and sapphire.The hardness is second only to the best diamond.The biggest feature of this third-level spirit stone is its astonishing weight.And these words are all pink spirit stones, and the main supply direction of spirit power is the healing department. 15 is really just the lowest price.But if it's not for the lowest price for yourself, the auction house can't make a lot of money, and they won't do it!
Jia He, the person in charge of the Junior Auction House, happily took the high-quality spirit stone with both hands, and quickly asked the assistant to take the small velvet-covered box, and carefully put it in. "When do you ask for money?"
Zhan Jiu replied immediately: "Today. It is best to auction as soon as possible."
Jia He quickly nodded: "Come on! You can hold it! There will be an auction in half an hour, and this is the highlight of this morning's show! But if you leave it until midnight, the auction will definitely be more expensive .”
Zhan Jiu shook his head: "No time. It's not short of the tens of thousands."
Without waiting for Jia He to speak, Ma Xiaotian couldn't help pulling Zhan Jiu's sleeve: "It's tens of thousands of yuan short! I'll pay for the bed first!"
Jia He laughed when he heard it. "That's what I said too. Ninth Master, just listen to Madam Zun. Maybe it's not just a matter of tens of thousands of dollars."
Zhan Jiu glanced at Ma Xiaotian who was already blushing, and for the first time couldn't control the corners of his mouth, although others might not be able to see that he was smiling.But he really felt very happy in his heart. "Honorable Madam"... It's funny how shy this child is.So he immediately changed his words: "Then I will come to withdraw money tomorrow."
Ma Xiaotian worked hard all day again today, and finally made the bracelet mold that he designed yesterday.At two o'clock in the afternoon, he had just made two accessories, but it would take at least one day before he finished twelve accessories. He estimated that in the next three days, he could only make one more ring if he did it right.I don't know if Boss Wang's ring has been sold.There is no information at all online.
When the knock on the door sounded, Ma Xiaotian was stunned for a moment before he realized it, because no one would knock on the door for so many years.Turning on the intercom camera and seeing Zhan Jiu, Ma Xiaotian exhaled, and quickly opened the door. "You are so fast!"
After Zhan Jiu came in, he took back the gates. "I need the key."
Ma Xiaotian is particularly like Fuzuo.Why does this guy have no interest in leaving at all?After thinking about it, since the topic is here, I might as well take the opportunity to ask. "Well... I'll pour you a glass of water first, and then I have something to ask you."
