"Haha, let me tell you, brother, you will definitely be interested." Seeing Chen Li stopping, the thin monkey immediately said with a smile.
Chen Li raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "What's the point of betting on this Thunder Skill Book?"
The thin monkey coughed and said with a smile: "We are betting now that the price of this Thunder Magic Skill Book can exceed 17 taels of gold in the end!"
"Oh? There is another statement?" Chen Lidi's interest immediately came up. This was the skill book he sold. "What are you betting on now?"
The thin monkey smiled and immediately covered up the small notebook he held, blocking Chen Li's vision, and said, "Of course, this is all about betting, it mainly depends on what you think, brother."
Chen Li curled his lips. It was useless to block the thin monkey. His mental power had already read the contents clearly.
Currently, half of those who can bet on more than 17 taels of gold and those who cannot be more than 17 taels of gold account for each, which is quite a good situation.
Most of these bets have put in a few taels of silver. After all, they are not rich people. They take out a few taels of silver to make a little money.
As for whether the price will exceed 17 taels of gold, they are not sure.
Currently, those who can afford skill books are mostly those who are big families who are willing to buy more family skills for the prosperity of their families.
Those poor people can only learn from their masters, or rely on family traditions, or even go out to do adventurer tasks to get some broken pieces, and the skills they learn are almost not very powerful.
"Hey, brother, see how many you want to pay? The odds of more than 17 taels and no more than 17 taels are one-on-two!" Seeing that Chen Li was already moved, the thin monkey said with a close look.
Chen Li grinned, took out 50 taels of silver, put on the mat, and said, "I bet 50 taels of silver, this Thunder skill will exceed 17 taels of gold!"
The smile on the skinny monkey's face suddenly became stiff. He really didn't expect Chen Li to take out so much silver.
50 taels of silver!
This is 50 taels of silver, and he only collected seventy or eighty taels of silver in total...
"What? Is there any problem?" Chen Li asked immediately when he saw the skinny monkey's appearance.
The thin monkey reacted, coughed awkwardly, and said repeatedly: "No problem! No problem!"
Can this Thunder Skill Book exceed 17 taels? Go dreaming!
As an old fried dough stick in the auction house, how could Skinny Monkey not know the price of these skill books? He expected that the price could not exceed 17 taels of gold, so he started a bet like this.
"Hehe, this is great, I have earned another 50 taels of silver." The thin monkey couldn't help but feel happy and thought to himself that he was lucky today and met a crazy guy when he went out.
Chen Li smiled faintly and said, "Don't run away then."
"Of course not that, don't worry!" said Skinny Monkey with a smile. He is an expert in private gambling in auction houses. Have he lost?
Chen Li didn't think so much about this Thunder Skill Book. Maybe this Thunder Skill Book will not reach 17 taels of gold, but can't he add a fire?
If it really doesn't work, I will ask Zhao Anning to help me and use 17 taels of gold to buy the Leiming skill book back. He will also make a net profit of 100 taels of silver, which is also 1 tael of gold.
A business that is stable and profitable!
The two of them had their own thoughts and separated with a smile.
In a good mood, Chen Li left the auction house and bought some fruits to take them back.
Zhao Anning is no longer alone at home, and the white elf she bought from a slave trader. She has a very nice name - Chu Yun.
Chen Li had contacted her many times, but found that the little girl's fear and defense towards people had not weakened at all. She was like a hedgehog full of thorns, and no one could touch her.
When Chen Li thought of this little girl, he was so amused and could only shake his head.
As soon as he entered the yard, Chen Li saw Zhao Anning sitting in the yard with a frustration, looking at the door with a stare, as if waiting for him to come back.
"Oh my God, my young master, you are finally back!" As soon as you saw Chen Li, Zhao Anning rushed over, as if he had seen a rare recipe.
Chen Li smiled faintly and asked in confusion: "What? The sky has not collapsed again."
Zhao Anning pursed his mouth, raised his right hand with grievance, and said, "Young Master, look, that little girl Chuyun doesn't know anything at all, she actually bit me a piece of meat. It hurts so much that I can't refine medicine."
Chen Li was stunned. Chuyun bit people?
After asking about the situation quickly, Chen Li was completely helpless.
It turned out that Zhao Anning went to deliver food to Chuyun when Chen Li was not at home, but because he was too close, he was bitten hard by the little girl.
Looking at the gauze wrapped around his wrist, Chen Li took out a bottle of primary healing potion and said, "Patch it on, go and rest, just have a nap."
Zhao Anning nodded, looked at the direction where Chu Yun was, and left with fear.
"Hey, this little girl is really not a worry-free person." Chen Li sighed and walked towards the place where Chuyun was.
Chuyun's room is next to Zhao Anning. When he is fine, Chuyun always comes to Zhao Anning's side. When he sees him making potions, he seems to be interested in potions. Maybe he really has nothing to do.
When he came to the room where Zhao Anning made the medicine, Chu Yun was indeed still here, and there was a piece of overturned food in front of him.
Chen Li shook his head, found a portion of food, placed it in front of Chu Yun, and said, "Eat it, don't be hungry."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the little girl. Chu Yun still looked at Chen Li with a cautious look, and his eyes were shining with light.
Chen Li was busy. He had no other arrangements today. It was a good choice to make a few bottles of potions when he had time.
In a trance, Chen Li felt that Chuyun and Xiao Hei were a bit similar, and they were both on guard against him.
At the beginning, Xiao Hei was like Chu Yun. Although he was staying quietly, the things in his bones could not be changed.
As time goes by, their relationship gradually eases, and now Xiao Hei is very close to Chen Li.
Chen Li really wanted to see Chu Yun and Xiao Hei like him, let go of his guard and live a normal life.
Chuyun squatted in the corner of the wall, her stomach was already so hungry that she was croaking. But she didn't dare to eat, and from time to time she would see what Chen Li was busy with.
In such a struggle, Chuyun watched Chen Li finish what he had done, sat on the bed and began to meditate.
Although Chen Li was meditating, his mental power kept controlling everything around him. When he saw Chu Yun quietly picking up the food and eating it in big mouthfuls, he felt relieved.
Chuyun, who had eaten and drunk enough, slept comfortably. Chen Li waited for her to fall asleep quietly, and quietly got up and covered her with a quilt.
Looking at the beautiful face, Chen Li shook his head slightly, without saying a word, and continued to meditate and practice.
Chuyun and Xiaohei have different things. Xiaohei was with Chen Li when he had no sense of autonomy. Over time, he gradually developed a dependence relationship.
Chuyun was bought back by Chen Li. She already had enough wisdom to understand and understood what many humans would do to themselves. Such a vigilance would not disappear for a while.
Chen Li was not in a hurry, saying that after a long time, there will always be changes.
...
Early the next morning, Chen Li was still practicing in the yard, and a knock on the door interrupted him.
Chen Li opened the door and looked at the servant who interrupted his cultivation with a bad expression: "Did you forget what I said?"
The servant was immediately scared and stammered, "That, young master, someone is looking for you."
"Who?" Chen Li raised his eyebrows, wondering if he was the one he was waiting for.
"He said he was Zhou Ye, the leader of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group." The servant said hurriedly, but he was puzzled. Some time ago, the popular figure from the Pharmacist Guild came to him, and now the famous mercenary group leader of Fengxuecheng came to him. What did Chen Li do? He actually made friends with such a person.
Chen Li nodded and said, "Lead the way forward."
In the living room of the Chen Mansion, Chen Xiao, the head of the Chen family, was sitting on the master and chatting with Zhou Ye.
Seeing Chen Li come in, he immediately said, "Chen Li, Captain Zhou is here to find you."
Chen Xiao didn't understand. Some time ago, the Pharmacist Guild came to accept Chen Li as his apprentice. What did Zhou Ye, the leader of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, come to Chen Li to do?
It doesn’t seem like he is here to make trouble. Could it be that Chen Li and Zhou Ye have any friendship?
Various thoughts were rolling in his mind. Chen Xiao was very happy with Chen Li's changes. He was no longer the waste he used to be. He had grown up and made progress.
But he was still a little worried that Chen Li would provoke people he shouldn't have provoked.
"Haha, Brother Chen, I'm really sorry. I went out yesterday. It was too late when I got back, so..." Zhou Ye stood up and said, enthusiastically speaking to Chen Li.
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and then returned to normal.
Zhou Ye called him brother Chen Li, which is a title of peer-like relationship, which is enough to show Zhou Ye's attention to Chen Li.
Could it be...
Chen Xiao's thoughts were heard, and he suddenly felt that Chen Li had become extremely unfamiliar. He had to start re-examining Chen Li and repositioning this once waste boy.
"Brother Zhou, didn't I just say you can just ask someone to inform me? Why did you even have a trip in person?" Chen Li said politely. The relationship between the two is based on interests. It has not yet reached a very deep level, so you still have to have politeness.
Zhou Ye waved his hand and said, "Brother Chen, when have you become so polite?"
Chen Li smiled faintly and said to Chen Xiao: "Uncle Second, I have something to talk about with Brother Zhou, so we will leave first."
Forehead……
Chen Xiao's body stiffened. He didn't expect Chen Li to say this, and he actually disliked him as redundant.
After all, he was the head of a family. Chen Xiao waved his hand calmly and said, "Okay, come back for lunch and have a meal. I have ordered someone to prepare."
"Ah, Chief Chen, don't worry. Next time I have the chance, I'll invite you and Brother Chen to have a good drink!" Zhou Ye hurriedly said. He had no interest in Chen Xiao at all, so he naturally wouldn't have any meal with him.
Chen Xiao had no choice but to watch Chen Li and Zhou Ye disappear at the door.
