Chapter 42: Shut Up
Yo, you're playing tricks, huh?
Sid smiled and looked at the stall owner in front of him. The mysterious goods, the mysterious rainbow fruits, and the heavyweight rhetorical question, "It's very expensive, do you want to buy it?" Although the tone was plain, it contained an attitude of contempt (he was just overthinking it), which made people hate him.
This is simply the most common marketing tactic!
First, they arouse your strong emotions, keep you in suspense, and then take the opportunity to sell their own goods, selling worthless items at a price far exceeding their intrinsic value.
Xide has seen this kind of thing many times, so he is not disturbed at all. In addition, his ferocious appearance makes people feel that he will cause trouble at any time and anywhere.
"Tell me what you are selling first," he said with a smile, "Let me see what kind of treasure it is. Can it be sold at such a high price?"
Gong Qiying looked around, picked up the box, and said, "I've been sitting here all morning, and you're the first one to ask the price. Come, open it and see for yourself."
The box was stuffed into Sid's hands, and he was stunned for a second.
This routine seemed to be different from what he had imagined.
Generally speaking, this routine is like the classic construction site turtle. The seller first makes up a bizarre experience, and then inadvertently explains that he only intends to make a little money, and if the buyer really wants it, he will sell it at a lower price. In fact, the selling price is much higher than the normal price.
He glanced at Gong Qiying and asked tentatively, "Did I open it?"
"Open it,"
“Did I really open it?”
"Open it, open it,"
"You won't stop me?"
"Are you ill?"
Gong Qiying looked up at the old man in front of him. He looked smart and capable, so how could he be a fool?
Somehow Xide felt as if he had misunderstood Gong Qiying, but since it had come to this, he could only stubbornly continue to open the box.
Let me see what amazing things are in this box!
As soon as the box was opened a crack, colorful light immediately flowed out, it was a rainbow.
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable fragrance flowed out. It was an extremely sweet smell. Just taking a sip of it made people feel like they were soaked in honey. The desire to “eat, eat, eat” rose wildly in their hearts!
At some point, a group of people gathered around Sid, drooling and urging him to open the box.
What on earth is in this? Sid swallowed and opened the box quickly.
But what was inside was different from what he imagined.
The thing inside looked like a piece of crushed fruit pulp, only half the size of a fist, as if it had been torn from the fruit body in a hurry. The surface was colorful and the seven-color rainbow seemed to be the color of the fruit pulp.
"What, what is this?" Sid asked. He could no longer hold back his saliva. If he didn't have strong self-control, he would have bitten it down right now.
"I told you, a small piece of rainbow fruit," Gong Qiying stood up and raised his voice to the crowd, "This is the fruit of the giant plant in the deepest part of the food paradise!"
"What? It's that plant! There are monsters all around here. How could someone break through the monsters?"
"All the experienced adventurers I know died along the way. The closer you get to that plant monster, the stronger it gets!"
"Why do I remember that the fruit looked round? Are you lying to us?"
Gong Qiying shrugged. "Believe it or not, I managed to avoid the vicious monsters with great difficulty, but I was discovered when I almost picked the fruit. I barely managed to grab a small piece of the fruit before I died."
"I believe it," Sid snapped the box shut, and the aroma disappeared instantly. He was afraid he couldn't control himself. "Excuse me, does this fruit have any effect?"
He automatically used honorifics.
"What do you say if you don't buy it?"
“I’ll buy it!”
Sid said confidently, "Please excuse me for a moment. It's not convenient here."
"Okay," Gong Qiying nodded, but at this time, the onlookers were unhappy.
"You want to keep it all for yourself, right? How selfish! Where are the virtues of an adventurer?"
"That's right, what's wrong with saying it here?"
Sid looked at the noisy crowd calmly and snapped his fingers.
In an instant, the sound within a radius of 500 meters disappeared.
High-level group silence technique? Gong Qiying looked at him with interest. It seemed that this old man was quite important.
"Please come this way," only Xide and Gong Qiying could still make sounds. It felt quite strange.
The crowd automatically made way for them, not voluntarily, but because West Germany was controlling them.
The three of them walked into the Adventurer's Guild. The staff of the guild showed a frightened expression after seeing Sid, and quickly called the person in charge.
The person in charge was also startled, but when he was about to say something, Sid silenced him as well.
It was not until Xide and Gong Qiying walked into the reception room on the third floor that the sounds downstairs were heard again.
The receptionist asked in confusion, "What is this big guy doing, and who is the person next to him?"
The person in charge smiled bitterly
"How can we understand the thoughts of the West German branch president?"
In the luxuriously decorated reception room, Gina served hot tea to the two of them and quietly stepped behind Sid.
"Please allow me to introduce myself belatedly," Cid crossed his arms and made Commander Ikari's signature gesture. "I am Cid, one of the branch presidents of the Adventurer's Guild, and I will soon take over the branch of the guild in Bed City."
He smiled and said, "You can also call me Sid 'Silent'. I barely made it to the gold level before retiring from my adventurer career. It's one of the few things I'm proud of."
Gong Qiying on the opposite side really showed a "shocked" expression, and quickly stretched out his hand and said: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you, my name is Marda, just an ordinary adventurer, I didn't expect to meet a big shot like you."
The shock is all fake.
Today was the third day since Gong Qiying came out of the dungeon. He had just understood some common sense of this world and had no idea what the status of the so-called "branch president of the Adventurer's Guild" was.
But seeing that West Germany was very proud, he took the opportunity to praise him, and the effect was quite good.
Three days ago, Stellan gathered enough magic materials according to his commission and sent them to the dungeon. As a reward, Gong Qiying once again taught her how to use the shield poke.
As soon as Stellan left, he immediately began to perform the corpse-resurrection technique.
As for where the body came from?
It's Jack's
Not long ago, Jack's body was suddenly sent into the dungeon by a group of people dressed in church clothes. They performed some simple rituals that Gong Qiying couldn't understand, and then left.
In line with the principle of not wasting anything, he used Jack's body to be reborn.
The corpse-reincarnation technique was indeed magical. Jack's body melted into a mass of flesh and blood, and when Gong Qiying's soul entered, it immediately turned into his appearance in his previous life.
But for some unknown reason, he still looked a bit like Godwin in his full form, but in the end he looked more like the people in this world, with only his black hair and black eyes looking a little rare.
Now that he had a body, he immediately tried to see if he could leave the dungeon. To his surprise, he could indeed get out!
And his absolute control over the Thane Dungeon is still there!
In the next few days, he wandered around the outside world almost like a gambler, catching up on some knowledge about the other world.
As for why we set up stalls at the market, that is another reason.
"I'm retired and now I'm just an ordinary old man," Xi De was very satisfied with Gong Qiying's reaction.
He asked with a smile but still serious:
"How much do you plan to sell this rainbow fruit for?"
