Chapter 1269 The More You Don't Want to Provoke, the More Trouble You Will Find

Chen Fang wanted to leave the city, but the city gate was heavily guarded during the day, and he was not allowed to enter, and he was arrested at the city gate before. Out of town.

It's broad daylight now, and we still have to wait for a while. There is a victim in the tavern that can be used for recreation, so Chen Fang started to stroll around this small town.

Although Mushroom City was also affected by the extreme cold current, it was backed by forests rich in mushrooms, so the loss was not that great. Compared with the urban residents of other cities, the post-disaster recovery was faster, so the current life would be relatively richer.

So the economy is recovering relatively quickly, all stores are open, and the flow of people is acceptable. At least it is not a problem to earn enough for the whole family's living expenses for one month.

Chen Fang thought he lacked some spices, so he walked into a spice shop.

Although this store is not big, it has quite a complete range of products. Various spices and seasonings are placed in transparent bottles for people to check and choose.

The boss at the counter was a shriveled old man. When Chen Fang came in, there was no one in the store. The boss might be taking a nap waiting to get bored.

"Boss, I want to buy some spices."

Chen Fang went to the counter and knocked.

The old man opened his eyes, and said impatiently: "Whatever you want, take it and pay the bill yourself. Didn't you see that I was dozing off? I don't know how to be sympathetic to the elderly at all."

Chen Fang is happy.

"Boss, with your attitude, it's no wonder that there is no one in the store. Besides, if you are asleep, aren't you afraid that others will remove all the things in your store?"

The old man said angrily: "Whoever has the ability to move away from under my nose is considered a great one. Not only will I not pursue him, but I will also give him this store."

Chen Fang was startled, the old man spoke so boldly.

"I'll go. Hearing what you said, I feel like I've lost 100 million gold coins." Chen Fang said regretfully.

When the old man heard this kind of words for the first time, he felt a little interesting, so he said along the way: "It's useless to regret, who told you to wake me up, I didn't seize the opportunity."

Chen Fang smiled, thinking that the old man was very interesting and would pick up the jokes.

But he didn't go on talking, and went straight to business.

"Boss, give me a bottle of every seasoning you have here." Chen Fang said.

It was probably the first time the old man met a guest like Chen Fang, and he looked at Chen Fang in surprise.

"Are you sure? Although my store is small, my condiments can be said to be as complete as those in big cities. There are at least three hundred kinds of condiments that can be used as spices, and the cheap and expensive ones cost hundreds of gold coins in total. .”

"I don't ask if you can take it away, I just ask if you have so much money to pay me?"

The old man looked up and down at Chen Fang, who was dressed poorly, and expressed doubts.

Chen Fang was obviously taken aback. He didn't expect that there were so many types of seasonings in this store, and it cost so much money. He touched his nose in embarrassment, and said embarrassingly: "Well, I underestimated your store. I thought there were only fifty or sixty kinds at most, you are amazing."

The old man smiled triumphantly.

Chen Fang corrected himself and said, "Then what, give me the most commonly used ones, each...two bottles."

The old man said with distaste: "It's okay to say that earlier, what are you pretending to be, young people nowadays..."

"There are fifteen kinds of condiments commonly used at home, and two bottles of each... 50 silver coins for you." The old man said after thinking about it in his heart.

Chen Fang nodded, the price is not expensive, but...

"Boss, I have something to discuss with you." Chen Fang said in a slightly embarrassed tone.

"Haggling is unnecessary. My goods are of the best quality. You can either take the money or go out." The old man thought that Chen Fang was going to bargain, and said bluntly.

Chen Fang waved his hands quickly, "No, I didn't want to bargain."

Old man: "Then what do you want to do?"

Chen Fang concealed it, took out an intermediate core from the space, put it on the palm of his hand, and said, "I just want to say that I don't have enough cash, can I use this core to pay for it?"

The old man glanced at the middle-level core, and said impatiently: "If you don't have money, you can buy something. I only accept money here, so don't ask for weird things."

Chen Fang hurriedly said: "Boss, this is not a strange thing, it is the core of a strange beast, and it is still a middle-level one. Although it is not money, it is also a hard currency. It is sold in the market to fake... mercenaries, at least ten gold."

Now that there are fewer alien beasts, the amount of cores acquired is correspondingly reduced, so the price may be more expensive than what Chen Fang said. If it weren't for the lack of elementary cores, Chen Fang would not have taken out the intermediate ones.

The old man said coldly: "It's useless to sell a hundred gold coins. Even if I want it, I can't find that much money for you. Besides, I don't want to go to those mercenaries. If I take it, I might be robbed. At that time, I, an old man, will find someone to reason with, I think you should change the money yourself, and then come to me to buy things."

If he could sell it himself, Chen Fang would have sold it long ago.

When walking around the city, the places where the goods for the awakened are traded are strictly controlled. There are many soldiers patrolling and interrogating. Chen Fang may be recognized as a fugitive if he goes there. It's better not to make trouble.

Chen Fang said: "Boss, look at what you said, how can someone rob you for no reason, there are so many soldiers in the trading market, unless the mercenaries want to die, they will do it."

"You're afraid that you won't be able to find the money. In this way, my core is worth half of your five gold coins. You just need to give me the corresponding seasoning. You don't need to find it. You only need to go to the trading market and walk around. You can earn five more gold coins just by moving your mouth, so why not do it, right?"

The old man was a little shaken when he heard this, but he still shook his head after thinking about it, and looked at Chen Fang warily and said, "No, I don't dare to think about such a good thing, you'd better go and change the money yourself before you come to buy it."

Earning five more gold coins is wonderful, but the old man, as a person who has experienced decades of life, feels that the pie in the sky is unreliable.

Moreover, Chen Fang didn't need to spend so much money as long as he changed it by himself, but he had to use it to buy things, which was very strange.

The old man suspected that Chen Fang had bad intentions.

"You're not thinking of some trick to lie to me, tell you it's impossible, I'm shrewd." The old man looked at Chen Fang vigilantly and said.

Chen Fang couldn't laugh or cry, "Why am I lying to you, I just don't want to go to that trading market."

"Why?"

"I'm a bit of a clean freak. Those mercenaries are sweating all over their bodies, and there are all kinds of other smells in the market. I can't bear it."

Chen Fang made a random excuse.

The old man was dubious.

Seeing him like this, Chen Fang came up with an idea, "Well, if you don't worry, I'll give you the core right now, and you can sell it in the market, and then give me five gold coins when you come back. The rest of the money belongs to you, how about it."

The old man thought about it for a while and found it feasible, and he got five gold coins for nothing, so he made a lot of money no matter what, so he said: "Yes, it is possible, you keep what you say."

Chen Fang nodded affirmatively, "Of course."

Then he took the initiative to hand over the cores, and then gave five more on a temporary basis.

The old man took the core, looked at the two extra ones, looked at Chen Fang suspiciously and asked, "Why did you give five more?"

Chen Fang: "Anyway, you have to go. For the sake of the five gold coins for running errands, help me sell these two by the way, so I can have some cash on me."

The old man did not refuse, but looked at Chen Fang and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll just run away with these? These can be sold for at least seventy or eighty gold coins, and I won't be able to earn that much money in two years."

Chen Fang pointed to the small shop with a smile, and said, "You can escape from the monk, but you cannot escape from the temple."

Monks, temples and other old men couldn't understand, but they understood what Chen Fang meant.

"Okay then, I'll help you sell, but I have to close the shop first, you wait for me at the door of the shop." The old man said.

Of course Chen Fang knew what the old man meant by doing this, it was to prevent Chen Fang from stealing things from the store after he left.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door of the shop."

After speaking, Chen Fang took the initiative to walk to the door of the store, and then found someone to sit down with.

The old man also closed the store afterwards, and then took the core to the trading market to sell it for money.

After the old man left, Chen Fang looked at the passers-by on the street boredly, and at the same time, he wondered whether Wu Yaoyan and the child in her belly were doing well.

"In a few months, I'll be a father..."

Chen Fang had mixed feelings, looking forward to and apprehensive about the upcoming life of a baby daddy.

After thinking about it, I thought about the question of what the child will be called in the future.

"Sister Yaoyan and my child is a little princess, what should I name it?"

"My surname is Chen, how to choose a name that sounds good..."

Chen Fang thought about it a few times and felt that it was inappropriate and unpleasant, and fell into difficulty in naming it.

I don't know how long he thought about it, but Chen Fang suddenly heard a loud noise, ringing around him.

"It's him, my lord."

Suddenly an old voice sounded in Chen Fang's ears. He looked up and saw the old man who was going to the trading market and a group of soldiers surrounding him.

Chen Fang stood up and looked at the soldiers warily.

"Why are you surrounding me?" Chen Fang asked calmly.

The leader of the soldier brought by the old man came out and said with a sneer, "Someone reported you as a spy, come with me."

I'm dizzy, do I look like I want to be a spy that much? It's over the city gate, and it's here too.

Chen Fang hurriedly shouted: "Sir, I am just an ordinary person, how could I be a spy, if I were a spy, how dare I stay here aboveboard."

The soldier leader thought it made sense, so he looked at the old man who reported Chen Fang, asking him to explain.

The old man hurriedly said: "My lord, this man came to my store for free and gave me a core of a strange beast to pay for the price. I asked him why he didn't go to the trading market to exchange money before buying. He said he was a clean freak." , I don’t want to go to that place where people sweat a lot.”

"But look at the clothes on his body. Except for the clean pants, there is also no dirty place. Is this a cleanliness? This is obviously a ghost, and our Mushroom City is not rumored to be fighting against Qinghu City recently. I think he will not It would be a spy, so I went to find you."

Hearing the old man's well-founded words, the soldier's face darkened, and he shouted at Chen Fang: "What else do you have to say now, obediently follow us, and don't blame us for being rude."

At this time, Chen Fang was depressed. He didn't expect the old man to report himself because of this.

However, Chen Fang didn't want to enter the palace again, so he argued: "My lord, I am really wronged. I am indeed a bit of a clean freak. My clothes are dirty because I just finished work and have to go back to change clothes. I can't Walking on the street shirtless, I can only endure it, I happened to pass by here on the way, and I came in to buy it when I thought that there was no seasoning at home, it was all a misunderstanding.”

After hearing this, the soldier leader felt that there was indeed such a possibility, and was somewhat skeptical.

Seeing this, Chen Fang took the opportunity to say: "My lord, I didn't give the old man one core, but six cores, and I also agreed that some of them would be used to buy seasonings, and some would be used as travel expenses, but he is hiding it now." After ignoring this fact, he also slandered me as a spy, making me think that he wanted to take all the money from selling the cores, so he did it on purpose."

The soldier turned his head to look at the old man, "Is that so?"

The old man's eyes flustered, and he shook his head quickly, "No, really, he gave me one."

Chen Fang sneered and pointed at the old man's bulging chest, and said, "Your chest is so bulging, what's in it, take it out and have a look."

The energy from the core of the strange beast radiated from the old man's chest, so Chen Fang pointed it out after sensing it.

The old man panicked even more, but he still didn't admit it, and said bravely, "The one in my arms is indeed the core of a strange beast, but it's not yours, it's mine."

"Tch, you're an ordinary person, how can you get the core of a different beast?" Chen Fang said disdainfully.

The old man retorted: "I'm an ordinary person, that's right, I can't hunt the core of the alien beast, but I can buy it."

Chen Fang curled his lips and said: "Can you find a more reliable excuse? It's easy to sell the alien beast core transaction. If you want to buy it with money, you can go to a special store. It's basically impossible to find an awakened person to buy it. I don't remember. There is such a store in this city, and don't tell me that it is sold in the trading market."

The core of alien beasts is hard currency, and it is easy to exchange them for money, but it is very difficult to buy them from awakened people, because they are not enough for their own use, not to mention that it is impossible now that there are so few alien beasts.

The old man said stiffly, "I bought it from the trading market. I happened to meet someone who sold it earlier. How about it, can't you?"

Seeing that the old man was still stubborn, Chen Fang shook his head and sneered, "Don't cry if you don't see the coffin, okay, since you bought it, then tell me what elemental attributes those six alien beast cores are, don't tell me you don't know , This thing is not cheap, you can't just buy it aimlessly."

As soon as the words came out, the old man's face changed drastically, and after he forced himself to calm down, he broke into a cold sweat and thought of an explanation.

"I just bought it for a while and waited for the price to rise before selling it, so I didn't consider any attributes or attributes when I bought it."

It was really difficult for Chen Fang to refute this reason. The excuse of investment really made sense, so Chen Fang fell silent.

Seeing Chen Fang like this, the old man showed a complacent expression, and then said to the soldier leader:

"My lord, he is speechless. He is obviously guilty. Hurry up and catch this spy."

The soldier leader cast a glance at the old man, and said coldly, "Are you going to teach me how to do things again?"

The old man showed a frightened expression, and said embarrassingly: "No, no, I'm just afraid that he will run away, so I kindly remind you."

The soldier nodded disdainfully: "You don't need to remind him, he can't escape at all with us here."

Then the soldier ordered to his subordinates: "Go and catch him for me."

The soldiers were ordered to surround Chen Fang.

"Oh, just to buy something, why are you so unlucky."

Chen Fang sighed, he didn't want to cause trouble at first, but the more he didn't want to cause trouble, the more trouble he found.

"In this case, don't blame me for being rude." Chen Fang said lightly.
