Huangpu Xin As soon as I thought about it, I knew the other party was going to extort money.
Kunyu City Located on the border of the Western Regions, Huangpu Xin with his blonde hair and blue eyes, surrounded by guards and attendants (referring to the group of Ma Yunyang), is considered a noble of the Western Regions fiefdom. After all, ordinary people in the desert fiefdom cannot afford a wheelchair made of stainless steel.
"This person wants to cheat us. Do you have anything ancient that we haven't seen before?"
Huangpu Xin secretly uses telepathy with Chenhao, while considering how to respond, he says, "Haha, we came to the Central Plains to make friends, and we have brought many treasures. Please, Zhao, honor us by going upstairs to appreciate them."
"Alright, I'll give you some face. I want to see what special treasures this vassal state has to offer." Zhao Xiuyi appeared disdainful on the surface, but secretly rejoiced that he had bluffed the other party into giving away their treasures for free. With his attendants, he proceeded to the private room on the second floor, and the others followed in a line.
In the private room labeled "Heavenly Number One," Zhao Xiuyi casually took the seat at the head of the table, with several attendants standing at the entrance and behind him.
Just as everyone had just sat down, Zhao Xiuyi couldn't wait to signal with his eyes, and the attendant immediately started shouting.
"Hurry up, our young master has important guests to meet today. You barbarians, present your treasures quickly!"
Huangpu Xin was taken aback for a moment, then quickly flashed a feigned look of humiliation, putting on a smile and said, "Well, we came here to avoid disaster, and all we have with us is money and financial matters. I don't think Mr. Zhao would mind..."
"How dare you! Deceiving us, the young master? I'll take your head for this!" Before Zhao Xiuyi could speak, the attendants rushed forward.
"Hey, hey, hey," Huangpu Xin raised his hand in surrender. "I dare not deceive Mr. Zhao, because we have no treasures except for the travel expenses, but..." Huangpu Xin paused.
"But what?" Zhao Xiuyi frowned at Huangpu Xin, asking for an explanation, but in his heart, he was thinking about how to trick some treasures out of these fugitives.
"We do have some rare items, though. Hassan, bring them out for Master Zhao to appraise," Huangpu Xin said to Chenhao.
"Leader, our people risked their lives to obtain these..." Chenhao said emotionally.
"It's starting to perform."
"Definitely."
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and bring it out!" Huangpu Xin said impatiently.
Chenhao looked frustrated as he took out a ring and a piece of thin glass from his pocket.
"Hmm?" Zhao Xiuyi frowned and looked at a masked attendant beside him. Seeing the attendant shake his head, he glared and rebuked, "How dare you deceive me? There is no spiritual power fluctuation here at all!" The attendants gathered around at the sound of this.
"It's a misunderstanding. This is indeed a rare item, but it's not a spiritual weapon. Mr. Zhao, please let me explain before taking action," Huangpu Xin said.
"Hmph, speak."
"First, about this ring. This is crafted by the artisans of my domain, borrowing the power of the heavens. This ring can tell the time of day." Huangpu Xin made an astonishing statement.
"What does it mean?" Zhao Xiuyi felt that he was bluffing.
"It means the literal meaning, please take a look." Saying that, Huangpu Xin tapped on the smart ring, and it immediately displayed the time.
"?! This is actually a mundane item?" Zhao Xiuyi exclaimed.
The so-called mundane item is distinguished from spiritual tools, being items not made by the hands of cultivators, while spiritual tools are usually forged by alchemists.
"Exactly, and this item only needs to absorb the essence of the sun to be used for a long time," Huangpu Xin pretended to be proud.
Zhao Xiuyi became interested and played with it in his hand.
"Sure enough, this strange object is even more extraordinary with Mr. Zhao's appreciation," Huangpu Xin flattered.
Zhao Xiuyi pretended to be disdainful: "Just a little trinket. Besides, what about those glazed roof tiles?"
"Yes, I have heard that your esteemed ancestor started from scratch and built a business empire, excelling in commercial calculations. This second marvel can be used for calculations, as long as one understands the symbols taught by the craftsman, the calculations will be absolutely accurate!" Huangpu Xin once again expressed proudly.
"Hmm? You, go and try it," Zhao Xiuyi signaled to the attendant to check.
Huangpu Xin taught the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs to the followers. Zhao Xiuyi tested by randomly calling out numbers, and the followers easily responded. On the other hand, the person next to them was much slower in using the abacus to calculate.
Seeing Zhao Xiuyi's distracted expression, Huangpu Xin knew he had to make a gesture. He and Chenhao pretended to whisper and discuss, and eventually Chenhao took out a box with a solar panel calculator.
When Chenhao moved the box out of the storage compartment, Zhao Xiuyi's pupils constricted.
" Mr. Zhao, this is the final work of our craftsmen. Look at what happened today..." Huangpu Xin's words brought him back to his senses.
"Oh, not bad, it can be considered a rare treasure. Let's call it even for today. It's also because you encountered my generosity. If it were someone else, they would have... That servant has no eyes, go quickly and exchange it." Zhao Xiuyi boasts, Huangpu Xin naturally follows suit.
"Yes, yes, your lordship is generous," Huangpu Xin hands the box to the servant next to him, "Here are a total of 20 pieces, still for using the essence of the sun."
But Chenhao couldn't bear to part with the box in the servant's hand, "Be careful! Master Zhang's final work is all in here..."
[You're really getting into character]
"Hassan! Don't be rude! This belongs to Mr. Zhao, it's his business how to handle it!" Huangpu Xin's expression changed, and then he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, we have urgent matters to attend to, so we won't delay your meeting with the distinguished guest. We'll take our leave, please forgive us."
Zhao Xiuyi waved his hand, and Huangpu Xin and the others quickly left.
It's not that Zhao Xiuyi has become kind today. A spoiled playboy like him would never let go of people like Huangpu Xin who have no background so easily...
"Report"
"Come in," Zhao Xiuyi took the secret order handed in by the attendant at the door.
"Hmph, that old man's tone again. One day, sooner or later..." Looking at the reprimanding words in the letter, he almost blurted out his thoughts, scanning the room, but none of the attendants dared to meet his gaze.
"What did my second brother say?" Zhao Xiuyi asked.
"Young master said that this item is indeed a rare object, but it is only valuable if one can master the crafting technique. A solitary copy like this is meaningless..."
"Is it gone?"
"It's gone..." The attendant felt something was wrong and didn't dare to speak.
"MD, this dog thing, someone who can't cultivate like me dares to comment on my things?!" Zhao Xiuyi raged, crazily smashing things, except for the cultivator with the appraisal ring, everyone else remained silent.
After venting for a while, it seemed to remember that there was still someone to meet, so it straightened its clothes, got up, and went into another private room.
"Is everything I prepared in order?" Zhao Xiuyi was still very focused on this transaction.
"There is no mistake, young master. Everything is ready," the attendant replied.
"Okay, this deal is done. Zhao Family... I'll be the head of the family!"
In the western part of the city, there is a teahouse.
"How many sirs, what would you like to eat?" As soon as they arrived at the door, the waiter came forward to greet them.
"Five of them, second floor private room." Huangpu Xin is very familiar with the route.
[You're so familiar with this place?][The more you see, the more familiar you become] The two of them telepathy switched to team channel.
"[Speaking of Yunyang, where did he go?][He said he saw a book depository and went to buy some books, which would help us understand the world better]," Huangpu Xin nodded after hearing this.
"Ah~ the five of you from Feiyun Ge on the second floor~"
A few people went up and gave the shop assistant some silver coins (after entering the city, everyone exchanged all modern gold and silver for silver notes and gold bars).
"Thank you, sirs," the shop assistant flattered, seeing Huangpu Xin being generous.
"Don't thank me just yet, I have something to ask you," Huangpu Xin said.
"What would the gentlemen like to know?"
"The four major families in the city, do you know about them? Tell me." Huangpu Xin takes a sip of tea, indeed, compared to tea, beverages are better.
