Looking from the window, the market is bustling with activity.
There seemed to be a lot more people than usual, and adventurers were walking around everywhere, which made Shen Yi a little strange.
About two hours later, Hong Lang and the others finally returned, and the people in the market gradually dispersed.
As soon as he entered Shen Yi's room, Hong Lang lay down on the sofa and shouted, "I'm so damn tired. Even working with the blood-striking team is not so tiring."
"What happened?" Shen Yi asked.
King Kong replied: "We are famous."
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then said softly: "Because of those three pieces of equipment, the three pieces of equipment from the Blood-Slaying Team."
It turns out that these weapons are commonly used by members of the Blood Stinging Team, and many people in the general area know about them. In particular, Ming's Assassination Blade is a top-notch piece of equipment, and its internal explosion is extremely powerful, so it is well known to everyone.
If this kind of weapon appeared alone, no one would say anything, but if the three of them appeared together, some people would immediately think that just today the Blood Thorn Team entered the mission world, and they were going to hunt down a kid who had a grudge against them. team.
Under this situation, many things naturally came to light - the Bloodsuckers failed, and they failed miserably.
Of course, it was impossible for Hong Lang and others to deliberately keep this secret and tell the truth about the fact that they had wiped out all the Bloodsuckers without any humility.
In a place like Bloody City, if you want to do well, you must show your strength.
In this case, this became big news.
"The Bloodsuckers have been defeated!"
"The Blood-Slaying Team chased others but were severely defeated. Xie Rongjun only escaped with his own body. He was too embarrassed to sacrifice himself!"
"The four-man team defeated the Stinging Team and is selling equipment in the market!"
Messages with similar content quickly spread throughout the area.
For this reason, Fatty and others who were responsible for selling equipment were surrounded by adventurers one after another, asking questions. Some people also hoped to join the team after learning that the members of the Broken Blade Team were not full, but they were all politely rejected.
This was not surprising at first, but what everyone didn't expect was that this incident had a huge impact on their equipment sales, and the direction of the impact was completely opposite to what they expected.
The Assassination Blade and Heartbreaker Sword, which were originally thought to be the easiest to sell in the general area, turned out to be items that no one wanted. On the contrary, equipment such as the Honglang D-level ax were sold at higher prices than expected.
It turns out that adventurers have a common mentality, that is, things used by dead people are unlucky. Therefore, the equipment of Ming and Diyu, although they are obviously top-quality equipment, are not as popular as expected. Instead, it is Hong Lang and the others. Weapons are considered to bring "good luck", so they are more willing to buy them.
This result surprised everyone.
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. When Shen Yi thinks that only carefulness, patience, boldness, prudence, courage, rational thinking, caution against enemies and fearlessness are the shortcuts to success, more people think See luck and God's will as the keys to success.
You can laugh at this mentality, but the actual consequence is that Shen Yi and his team's harvest has been affected by this. The three pieces of blood-sucking team equipment that were originally estimated to be less than 23,000 points were only sold in the end. Twenty thousand points.
On the contrary, the five pieces of D-level equipment and the small equipment they used for their own use were all sold, and the prices were pretty good - it is always cheaper to buy low-level goods at a high price than to buy high-end goods for dead people at a high price, but it can still be used. Get some favors.
Those seemingly stupid guys, on the other hand, have their own unique shrewdness.
"So... how much did you sell for?" Shen Yi was a little unsure.
"Five D-level weapons were sold for 12,000 points, and 10 small items were sold for a total of 8,100 points. The price is already quite good. I also received three combined attack scrolls, which cost 1,000 points each. Reasonable. There are seven other water-based scrolls that no one wants, so they can only be sold to the store for one thousand and two pieces." King Kong chuckled and said: "Do you know how much money we have now? 149,296 points, not including the ones we didn't sell. Those good things are really big this time."
"In other words, although our own junk equipment was sold at a 20% discount, the two C-level weapons and a double D-level good weapon were only sold at a 20% discount?" Shen Yi asked.
"Someone needs to give me face, otherwise no one will take the 30% discount. Can you believe that such a thing can happen? This world is simply too outrageous." Hong Lang complained, holding his head.
"Come and go, it doesn't count as any loss, but why do adventurers in the ordinary area need D-class weapons?" Shen Yi was a little confused.
"I heard that it can be used to refine appraisal metals and make weapons to increase the probability and power of weapons, but I don't know the details."
"interesting."
"There are many things in Bloody City that we don't know yet, so take your time." Wen Wen smiled and said, "By the way, have you finished all your records?"
"No, I was interrupted by Ban Dongming, and I forgot all the rest." Shen Yi smiled bitterly.
"Ban Dongming?" Everyone sat up together, and Hong Lang asked, "What is he here for?"
"Humph, what else can you do? You want to make the God of Wealth turn against me - refuse to admit the debt!" As he said that, Shen Yi told the general story of what happened just now.
After hearing what happened, Hong Lang clapped his thigh and jumped up: "***, isn't this too arrogant? What does Ban Dongming mean by this? He thought that he could make us obediently just by making a few empty threats. Hand over the bloody point? He didn't even think about us before he killed the blood-striking team! Why should he scare us?"
"He has thought about it!" Shen Yi replied decisively: "And he has thought about it very clearly. He dared to say this to me only when he was completely sure of dealing with us."
"What do you think?" King Kong asked.
"We have no hope of defeating them." Shen Yi's extremely certain answer surprised everyone.
"Why?" Wen Wen was puzzled.
"Ban Dongming is right. The Storm Team is not the Sanguine Team. The routine we used to deal with the Sanguine Team cannot be repeated on the Blaster Team. If Ban Dongming wants to deal with us, he will definitely be very, very cautious and do everything well." Prepare carefully, just like when we deal with blood stabbings. The old traps must not be used again, and the new traps may not be effective against them. In terms of one-on-one fighting ability, Ban Dongming may not be as good as Xie Rongjun, but in terms of sophistication , Xie Rongjun is still a little worse than him. The most important thing is that Xie Rongjun can't bear it, but he can!"
Speaking of this, Shen Yi sighed: "Do you know what kind of person is the most troublesome enemy in this world? It's not a powerful enemy, or even an enemy hiding in the dark, but the kind of person who you don't know he is. Friend or enemy."
After a slight pause, Shen Yicai said: "Ban Dongming came to me and asked me to return the fourteen thousand points to him in a hint way. I refused, but he didn't say anything about officially becoming my enemy. This It means he may come to me for trouble, or he may not. The worst problem is here, we don't know if he will do anything for these bloody points, so we don't know if they are friends or enemies. If we If we treat them as friends, they are likely to stab us in the back suddenly, catching us off guard. If we treat them as enemies, we may push people who have not yet become enemies to the opposite side... "
Speaking of this, Shen Yi looked at everyone: "I don't know if they are enemies. Next time we enter the mission world, the Storm Team may follow, maybe not. Instead, we will wait for the next mission, and it is more likely that they will follow. But they didn't take action, making us nervous and preparing in vain! They have enough time to wait and find the best opportunity. Since they have no so-called open conflict with us, even if they cannot eliminate us for a long time, they will still Their reputation is not lost at all. This gives them no pressure to be patient and wait for better times, and victory usually favors the patient. So..."
Shen Yi smiled bitterly: "This time they took the initiative and we were passive."
"This is so fucking bloody." Hong Lang muttered.
King Kong: "Then why don't you just give them the money? Even if you give a part of it, I believe they will accept it. You can do this with your words."
"Because he used my least favorite method of persuasion - threats." Shen Yi answered word for word: "The Storm Team may be powerful, but they are not more scary than Davy Jones or the Blood Team. .I’m not even afraid of those guys, so how can I accept his threat?”
King Kong suddenly realized, he pointed at Shen Yi: "He doesn't understand you yet, he doesn't know that you are actually a prouder person than anyone else."
Shen Yi laughed softly: "Yes, actually I am prouder than anyone else. This is a problem, but I can't change it, and I don't plan to change it."
After all, they are partners who have experienced many adventures together. King Kong actually knows Shen Yi very well.
Shen Yi is a very arrogant person at heart. It is this pride that makes him dare to face all challenges and makes him brave and even willing to face any risks.
Arrogance is a bad thing, making people headstrong and arbitrary, but it is also a good thing, making people confident and brave, depending on how it is used.
Ban Dongming didn't really understand Shen Yi. He didn't know that Shen Yi never fought for survival. When he analyzed the facts objectively and clearly, he thought that with Shen Yi's intelligence, he would know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but he didn't know that this would lead to His disgust was expressed. If he had put it another way, he would have held Shen Yi's arm and said in a sad and plaintive tone: Brother, this mistake in decision-making has caused my reputation among the brothers to drop a bit, and I can't hold my head up. How are you doing? Come on, give me back some of your friendship. After all, you have exhausted our friendship. I will also make an explanation when I go back. I will remember your personal favor and do what I can if I have the opportunity in the future...
Shen Yi probably agreed. With his temper, it would be very cost-effective to sacrifice a few bloody points to make friends with a strong team.
But unfortunately, in this era of using force to conquer the world, even Ban Dongming, who has a stable style, actually believes more in fists than in favors.
It's not surprising that he ran into this problem.
He gently held Shen Yi's face and kissed it gently: "As a man, you should be a little arrogant. I support you."
"But you just said that we can't be their opponent, so it's not worth it." The fat man was still a little worried.
"That only refers to now." Shen Yi replied: "You have to know that everything has two sides, right? The Windrush team is not in a hurry, and we don't need to be in a hurry. Don't forget that this is a world where strength can be achieved quickly, a world where today and tomorrow It can be a completely different world, a world where we are no match for them today, but we may trample them under our feet tomorrow!”
"At least today, now, we already have 150,000 points in our hands, as well as a large number of other gains. The cumulative value of all these gains will not be less than 300,000 points! This number is something Ban Dongming would never have thought of.
I won’t believe it either! If one day he really wants to go against me, then he will find that he may not have made the same mistake as the Bloodsuckers, but he may have directly bumped into a new Bloodsuckers!"
"So, his stability is the guarantee of his victory, but it may also be the source of his failure."
"The strength of one's own strength is always the foundation for true invincibility in battle."
