"So, is the stuff you sell more or less genuine, or a mix of real and fake, or is it not genuine at all..."
He had just asked this tentatively, but he had never expected that the old man would get so angry that he would stand up, point at him and curse.
"You... you smashed a few of their signs, isn't that enough? I'm just an old man, you shouldn't embarrass me, right? Besides, I don't sell much stuff myself, so why are you, the counterfeit hunter, coming all the way here? I won't accept a customer like you, I won't accept you!"
“…”
Upon hearing this, the servant next to him hurried over to try to reconcile, but the old man refused to listen and refused to listen to anything.
He just shook his head, muttering those words all the time, and then went to play chess with others.
We don’t hire customers like this. We don’t hire him even if he comes here to buy!
"I'll play a game of chess with you. If I win, you'll let me pick some from your stall."
"The old man actually became more interested after hearing this. He asked directly, what if you lose?"
"If I lose, I'll never come to your stall again. How about I give you two ingots of silver?"
The people in the shops next door were really watching the fun, wondering how the old man could easily take away two ingots of silver.
He is a master at playing Go. No one dares to fight him in a real fight.
Look, here comes someone so brave.
Only a few people really think they can turn the tables.
Of course, in a ghost market, they usually choose a best-of-three game, and then give out two finale items. You invest money in the early stage and then reveal the result in the later stage to see who wins or loses.
It was similar to gambling, but what Zhao Xin didn't expect was that no one in this group would bet on him.
Xiao Chenzi swayed and raised a ten-dollar silver note and placed it in the bowl belonging to Zhao Xin.
To give him some face, the servant next to him also felt that Zhao Xin was in danger, but he reluctantly gave up and took out silver of equal value and paid it on it. What could he do? He had to bear the consequences whether he won or lost.
"That's right, since you guys have already bid for it, I'll just have to bear the pain and let it go..."
Zhao Xin wanted to take it easy anyway. These people were so clueless, they all voted for that old man.
Then he would just play a little more aggressively, so that the old man could know his true strength in the first round.
Otherwise, I would be unworthy of my identity.
"In that case, let's play chess."
"Come on, let's just play this guessing game. Since it's just the two of us, I'll treat it as the elder giving the younger a break. How about letting you play first with your black pieces? I'll give you enough, as long as you don't lose too badly."
“…”
So rampant?
My goodness, he has never been so arrogant when playing chess, right?
Sure enough, when he picked up the first chess piece, it began to climb down the pole one by one. It seemed that his chess-playing method was illogical, and gradually formed a self-changing trend.
And it was spread directly down, with occasional splashes of water from the side making the technique seem completely disorganized. Even the old man was smiling.
"I'm afraid you're not just a novice who only knows how to play chess. Newbies, don't bother with this guy. Do you know that next time, don't challenge him? This old man is telling you to leave right now. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave forever."
?
Even if he lacks experience.
There was a loud thud when it landed on the ground. The old man hadn't noticed anything yet. There was another loud thud. Some people present had already sensed something was wrong, but this old man was a bit silly in his boasting.
He was half-confused and half-aware, so it was because of what he said just now that the old man was confused.
As a result, he didn't notice anything unusual about the chess pieces. He just looked at the shelf with a smile. He thought that a novice couldn't break his chess position anyway.
"Old man, old man, look at your chess piece, it's about to be broken, why are you still looking at the shelves?"
The old man hurriedly turned around but found that he was afraid that he could not keep it. As a result, he gave up two pieces and ended the game.
It was his bad luck just now that he was distracted and didn't see this chess piece, which put him at a disadvantage in the end.
That's not a bad thing. Since it's like this, it will satisfy the young man's wish. Even if I was careless, I would treat him as a newcomer.
However, although the old man spoke so grandly, the group of people naturally did not let them leave and forced them down again.
When Zhao Xin saw someone putting his hand on his shoulder, his dragon-like aura increased greatly, frightening the man so much that he dodged two steps.
"I say, old man, this won't do. If you lose, all the money will go to him. I don't care if you underestimated your opponent the first time, but you mustn't underestimate your opponent the second time!"
"Besides, we've already invested all our money. If you underestimate the opponent and lose, the opponent will just take advantage of the game."
"The three of them look like they came together. Don't be so open-minded now. If you are so open-minded, what will happen to my money?"
this.
I never thought that someone would say something so infuriating.
Good guy, what he said really took back what he wanted to say!
This is the rule of the ghost market, not his old man's rule. He originally thought that he would just let it go in the next round and reluctantly give up some things to him. He didn't expect that this group of people would yell and not let him leave.
What should I do about this?
"Why don't you do it again? Look at them, none of them want to do it. If they think it's good, then we can do it again!"
He won the previous round by luck, so he just had to go back quickly. Of course, Xiao Chenzi also knew the emperor's strength, so he forced him to sit down.
He stood aside and pulled the servant away. The servant watched the two men playing chess in a hurry and became furious.
"Losing money is the least of your worries. You already have the advantage, but why don't you just leave? Are you planning to be humiliated after these three rounds? Why is this..."
"Don't worry, even with this silver, you won't lose a single cent. Trust your Majesty."
Hearing this, the servant felt pain.
It's not a matter of spending money, the key is a matter of credibility. If you can't afford it, then next time you won't even be qualified to come to the ghost market.
Who wouldn’t recognize you with that figure? If you were to be bumped into and humiliated, how would you survive in the ghost market?
"Don't worry. Besides, we don't know if His Majesty will come next time. Don't be so anxious day by day. Besides, it seems that His Majesty asked you to come so that you can ask for some treasures."
"And now you're appreciating chess with the emperor. Don't you think that's wrong?"
