Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 79: The Xirui Sutra
Subtitle of this chapter: Money means freedom
"Master Ball, hurry up, check how many B coins I have now!"
"Host, you currently have 22,222 B coins."
"How many?!"
"Twenty-two thousand two hundred and twenty two B coins."
"This, this, this..." Yuan Yan was so happy that he almost fainted. He took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down. "So, I can exchange the book for it!"
But his happiness was not over yet.
"In addition, considering that the host has completed the 'temporary mission: reshaping the three perspectives' brilliantly, the qualifier reward will be doubled , 'Qualifier: China's (ancient dynasty) x2', 'Qualifier: Number (limited to 1) x2'. An extra card will also be awarded."
Oh, I like cards the most. You know, it's better to add a few more points.
"Card: The corpse of a silverfish from Cyrinisha. This is one of the cards in the Dark Sun Eclipse series. It cannot be saved and is bound to the host.. "
"Effects: Bluff +3, Knowledge (religion) +3, Identify (books) +3, SAN -1."
"Skill 'Bookworm': The user can switch between the two ."
"Master Ball, what is a series card?"
“Series Cards: Cards do not disappear after use and can be stacked with cards of the same series. Collecting all the cards can form a badge.”
"What's the difference between Master Balls, Cards, and Badges?"
"Let's put it this way. Cards can only add attributes and skills to the host or a designated individual, while badges can give the host a group aura that affects others."
"I see. Isn't this the protagonist's halo? If you hadn't told me, I would have known that I don't have this thing naturally. My performance... is really amazing!"
"Host, the Book of Xirui is really suitable for you."
" Don't think I can't hear your... praise. So what is the Master Ball, 'Dark Sun Eclipse'?"
“Mortals who crave power will eventually gain the attention of the Prince of Lies, and his coming will bring more chaos and bloodshed to this world. This set of cards will continuously reduce the host's SAN value, while greatly increasing the S value. This system recommends that the host use it with caution.”
"SAN value... Masters are a little weird after all. And aren't chaos and killing the main themes of the first half of the 20th century? It's such a fun thing, even if it reduces my SAN value and adds some S value, I'll accept it!"
"Master Ball, come on!"
The card that appeared this time showed a rotten insect corpse that was so ugly that it could even be called "indescribable". Such a disgusting thing turned into a ray of light and merged with Master Yuan's soul.
"Activate the scholar form."
"Mr. Yuan, why are you..."
Lord Ai Shouyi suddenly felt that the Chinese man in front of him had a new temperament. Of course, he didn't know what "giving up treatment and thinking about enlightenment, having books in the brain will make you elegant." But he also felt that the man in front of him seemed more elegant, more confident, and more convincing.
"Oh, I'm fine. But I've already figured out what to write for our magazine."
"What are you going to write?"
"Well... you'll know when the time comes."
“Gurgle…”
At this moment, Yuan Daxue suddenly felt a rumble of thunder in his stomach. He looked out the window and found that the east was still fading. It turned out that the two of them had been chatting for three or four hours.
It must be said that it was not easy for Yuan Yanshu to become a master. He had to "harden his mind" and fool around twice, and "exhaust his muscles and bones" for more than two hours. Now, of course, he was "starved" and "exhausted". Don't forget, he also brought the Master Ball System, a big energy consumer.
"Oh, sorry. Mr. Ai Shouyi, are you hungry? How about we go have breakfast..."
"jingle!"
"Mr. Yuan, why are you so early today?! Is it still the same as before?"
"Please give me a double... no, a quadruple! By the way, Mr. Craftsman, what would you like to order? The French toast here is really good."
"Then I'll just have one toast and a cup of coffee."
The two chatted while eating, and the breakfast lasted for a full hour. The creative lover decided to visit some "fellow craftsmen" in New York today, so after saying goodbye to Master Yuan, he left on his own.
After Yuan Yanshu sent him away, she sat back in front of the window, lit a camel and began to think.
Now he has 22222 B-coins, and four qualifiers: China's X2, digital 1X2. He understands that the qualifier "digital 1" is still very useful, and can be used to specify the first work in a series.
So what do you want to exchange?
Well, yesterday my classmate Louis Baker was very helpful. He not only introduced me to his grandfather, but also lent me a hotel room. So naturally I have to return the favor, so I will exchange a detective novel for him first.
Just because there were the qualifiers "Chinese" and "number 1", the price of the detective novel I exchanged also dropped significantly.
"Master Ball, using the qualifier 'Chinese' and the number 1, I want to extract the first volume of English and American literature, detective novels, 'China's Tang Dynasty'..."
"Host, spend 1000 B coins. Ding ding ding, congratulations to the host for winning..."
Well, it is the one I want. Now let me look at the list of works written by Mr. Song. Fortunately, this master of second-hand dealers has written five works in the same series.
"Well, then the next thing is... Master Ball, is this book considered an economics book?"
"Host, what do you think? Of course it is not an economics work, it can only be considered a literary work, and it is fantasy literature at that."
"Master Ball, you're wrong. 'Currency Wars' can at least be considered a history, and a very conscientious private history. Forget it, use the qualifier: the number 1. I'll take the first volume of that guy's work. I want an English version too... and wait, there's also a German version."
"The first part of Currency Wars costs 10,000 coins. The English version costs 1,000B coins, and the German version costs 5,000B coins."
"Master Ball, why is the German version so expensive at 5000 B coins?"
"Host, since there is no German version in the future, the fee is expensive..."
Just then, the owner of the coffee shop walked up to our Master Yuan and said, "Mr. Yuan , I'm sorry, I'm going to close the shop."
Yuan Yan suddenly glanced at the sky outside and then looked at her watch. She said in surprise, "Ah, it's not even eight o'clock yet, and you're closing the shop?"
The gray-haired boss said with emotion: " I'm sorry , I have transferred this store. Today is the last day. I didn't want to open it, but I'm used to it..."
"I see..." Our Master Yuan finally remembered the other party's name, "Mr. Sorel, I understand. Then let's settle the bill."
Mr. Sorel shook his head and said, "No, thanks. Today is my treat. I also want to thank you for your continued care."
Yuan Yanshu was always very polite to those who invited him to dinner. He stood up and held out his hand, saying, "Well, I wish you good luck."
"Mr. Yuan, I wish you good luck too."
"By the way, Mr. Sorel. I have forgotten all the French I learned, so I have been wanting to ask you what is the name of this shop?"
"My store is called Red and Black.. "
Oops, I missed the chance to meet an old intellectual.
