237. Waiting
"Hoo~! Hoo~!" The short fat man bent down hard, as if he was trying to breathe out his lungs. His eyes were as bright as five-hundred-watt light bulbs, and he stared hard at the bottle of thousand-year moon water that Master Shan took out.
The thick white color is mixed with a hint of green, making the Millennium Moon Water look like thick yogurt, thick and sweet.
But no one will underestimate this bottle of liquid. It has been radiated by the World Tree. It has taken thousands of years to turn the white moon water into a slightly green color.
It would be serious if the entire bottle of moon water turned green.
It is said that the moon goddess Tesi’s royal water is pure green moon water.
His heart beat like a drum, almost beating out of his chest. The short fat man first found a piece of white cloth and wiped his hands carefully. Then he carefully took the bottle of thousand-year moon water, held it in his palm, and looked at it carefully.
The water is filled with ripples and is slightly green. Even through the bottle, a sense of freshness that has never been experienced before slowly passes through the body: "There really is thousand-year moon water."
It wasn't until this moment that the short fat man believed what Master Shan said. After the surprise, the short fat man's two thin eyebrows, like firewood, frowned hard: "This price..." When he said the price, the short fat man's voice suddenly dropped.
Ordinary moon water costs about 400 gold coins per bottle. When it first appeared, a bottle of ordinary moon water sold for a high price of 700 gold coins. But then there were more channels to obtain ordinary moon water, and there were even many green sea elves.
By helping to sell, the price will gradually come down.
But Millennium Moon Water will never drop in price, and will even get higher and higher as it is launched. Because this thing has never been leaked out. It can definitely be called a "treasure".
His eyes quickly passed over Shan Ye, who was extremely calm, as if there was no treasure in front of him that was worthy of excitement. He looked very casual. He sighed softly. The short fat man knew that the person in front of him either had extraordinary abilities, or there was a big force behind him.
support.
After suppressing the embarrassment in his heart, the short fat man squeezed the meat on his fat face together: "It's hard to determine the price!" The voice sounded a little helpless. He looked at a plate of fat meat but couldn't swallow it. It felt really good.
Too bad.
Master Shan frowned slightly, and his voice contained no emotion or anger: "Can't you eat?"
The short fat man's face turned red, and he wanted to puff up his chest. But when he thought about the financial resources of the store, he was like a punctured balloon, and his momentum softened: "The store is small, I really can't eat." Although he felt very uncomfortable, he
The short fat man didn't dare to offend the young man in front of him. He could only admit it with an embarrassed look.
Master Shan pondered for a moment and shook his wrist. Five bottles of Millennium Moon Water appeared on the small table.
Even though he knew that the other party had a large amount of thousand-year moon water, the short fat man still breathed rapidly, and his throat was as hot as if he had applied pepper water. His pupils shrank, and the short fat man tried his best to suppress the greed in his eyes and took a deep breath.
After a while, I slowly recovered.
"I'll put this moon water with you first. I don't care how you sell it, you can get 10% commission." Mr. Shan leaned forward and stared at the short fat man's eyes seriously.
said.
The short fat man didn't know what expression to make about this, so he could only put on a stiff face and nodded vigorously: "Sir, please rest assured, our store still has this reputation."
Shan Ye had no expression on his face, raised an arm to signal to the short fat man, and then lightly condensed his fingertips, and a cloud of purple-green gas that was so rich that it was substantial slowly hovered on his fingertips.
Gently placing his fingertips on the thick layer of earth element protection, there was a strange "creeping" sound, and a hole melted out in a moment. Although it was immediately filled by the earth element, it was full of threats, and the short and fat man was heartbroken.
Trembling.
The reason why he was able to open this shop in the black market in the border city was not because of his great ability, but because his brother-in-law was a squadron leader in the border city. The city defense army had the right of life and death over the black market, plus he was a fifth-level professional.
With his strength, he immediately established a firm foothold in the black market.
It's a pity that this guy doesn't want to make progress. Even if there is a good place like the black market, his business is just mediocre.
After the warning, Mr. Shan shook his sleeves and walked away.
After leaving the black market, Shanye returned to the hotel and waited quietly.
Master Shan had already started investigating Humpty Dumpty. He had basically investigated the relationship between him, how he gained a foothold in the black market, and the dirty work of the city defense army.
The city defense troops in the border town are not just some dishonest people. They are real professionals. They are at least level three. Below level three, even the city defense team cannot enter.
This is also one of the reasons why Shan Ye is preparing to establish a line with the city defense army. As long as he can establish a line with the city defense army, Shan Ye can sell Millennium Moon Water in the border town and save a lot of trouble and part of the tax.
Don't think that there are no taxes on the black market. Because it is special, one-third of the taxes in border towns come from the black market.
In addition to half of the taxes given to the empire, the remaining taxes also need to be used to maintain city defense and border city sanitation. The various expenses are not a small amount.
Shan Ye is not planning to do anything special. Not only that, at least 30% of the profit from each bottle of moon water must be kept in the border town.
Humpty Dumpty, as the matchmaker and operator, pays 10%.
As a local snake, the city defense army needs to pay 10% to appease them.
The last 10% is tax.
But these are only on the surface, and we still don’t know what will happen secretly, so entrusting this matter directly, letting Humpty Dumpty show up, and testing the reaction of the market and the city defense army is the main reason for Shan Ye to find Humpty Dumpty.
reason.
Now Mr. Shan finally understands that force cannot solve all problems.
Originally, Master Shan's plan was to purchase a territory for himself, then slowly develop it, sell medicines and equipment, and soon be able to establish a foothold on the mainland.
But after experiencing the Battle of the Green Sea, Shan Ye's thoughts changed.
Whether it was the elf's background or the demi-devil's cunning, Shan Ye felt his own shortcomings.
At least before he has enough strength and thousands of troops, Shan Ye still needs to shrink his tail and behave like a human being. Everything is for the purpose of soaring into the sky, and proper forbearance is a prerequisite for success.
....................................................
Three days later, Mr. Shan was leisurely drinking Lan Ying, eating specialties from the border town, listening to the discussions of people around him, and felt very good.
As a local snake, the defense forces in the border town were really intertwined. In such a short period of time, they organized a city-wide auction.
Mr. Shan has heard of this kind of auction, and it seems that it is only held once every three months, but this time, it was held specifically for the sake of moon water, which can be said to be a big deal.
All forces, even the elves, were invited, which shows the background of the city defense army.
While he was eating and drinking, a woman in black robe approached Mr. Shan.
With light and silent footsteps, a large piece of thick brown curly hair squeezed out of the black robe. His hands shook, and two exquisite magic pattern daggers were placed on the soft flesh of Shan Ye's neck.
After holding Mr. Shan hostage, he walked to a hidden place. The woman's body fragrance emanated from her body, which made Mr. Shan's eyes light up: "What are you doing? I am a good citizen."
The woman's facial muscles twitched, and the dagger pressed against the soft flesh again: "Shut up, you have been to Kaka's shop before, right?"
Kaka is that short fat guy. When Master Shan heard this name, he pursed his lips and said, "I've been there and bought an elf to play with. What do you think?" His voice was smiling, and he sounded a bit like a disciple.
The woman tightened her dagger and her voice slowly became lowered: "Don't lie to me, you are the one who sold the Millennium Moon Water, right?" Her voice was serious, as if she had witnessed the transaction between the two.
Shan Ye raised his eyebrows, put one finger lightly on the dagger, and pushed it out: "I want the Millennium Moon Water, too, but unfortunately it's not mine." Spreading his hands, Shan Ye looked helpless.
The woman wanted to say something else, but Master Shan snatched the dagger away and held her in his arms: "It smells so good. You don't smell like a bad person." He sniffed the woman's hair frivolously, and Master Shan lifted her away.
Hood, immediately startled.
This woman is quite beautiful, but that is not what makes Mr. Shan distracted. It is her appearance that makes Mr. Shan say "street girl!"
The street girl who entrusted Mr. Shan to take care of her sister Annie in Tongzhong Town.
Not only did the two look very similar, but they even had similar charms, and Shan Ye recognized them at a glance.
"Are you Annie?!" Mr. Shan's voice was somewhat uncertain, and he let go of the woman.
Annie was shocked, and immediately her face turned violent, her arms softened instantly, and she threw it at Shan Ye's head like noodles.
Shan Ye turned his hand, and the skin all over his body shriveled up and became extremely hard.
"Poof!" The dagger pierced the lower half of the palm, and was immediately blocked by the hardened skin.
"Ding! The hardened skin is activated, consuming 20 experience points!"
This is a common skill, its cost is comparable to a talent skill, but its effect is very weak.
He retracted one arm, clenched his fist and gathered some strength, then hit Annie hard in the abdomen with a "bang".
The soft touch actually relieved at least 30% of my strength.
Annie's face turned pale. Even though she used jujitsu to remove 30% of the force from Shan Ye's fist, it still made the girl tremble in pain.
Black robes wrapped the two of them, and Mr. Shan took Anne, who could barely stand, back to his room.
Shan Ye encountered someone like her at least ten times in the past three days. Most of her corpses were thrown into the stinking ditch behind the hotel, which was almost full.
Sitting on the chair, Shan Ye's skin slowly returned to its original state: "Tell me, who sent you here?"
Annie stubbornly held her head and tried to stand up in embarrassment: "I won't say..."
"Bang!" Another heavy punch hit the girl's soft abdomen. Annie's eyes were almost squeezed out of her sockets, her mouth opened wide, like a fish on the beach, unable to breathe.
Without giving Annie a chance to breathe, Master Shan took out the family crest given to her by the street girl, which was still on Annie's body: "I think this thing should allow us to have a good talk." Master Shan sat in front of Annie and looked at her.
Looking at the surprised girl, he said slowly.
Now, Mr. Shan is no longer interested in the so-called property of Anne's family. But the vow he made to the street girl is still vivid in his mind. No matter what, he at least wants to let Anne live an ordinary life.
