Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 58: I'm so cheap, really!
The door of the Treasure Pavilion was closed. It was only opened again after about half a quarter of an hour.
Tang Xiaotang came out with five boxes and gave them to the woman from the old Zhao family and the other four buyers.
"Tsk, this bottle of purple gold flower water smells exactly the same as what I smelled in the Star Picking Sect."
"You have the best nose, little dog. Does that mean it must be the genuine product?"
"Even if it's purchased on behalf of someone else, it's too expensive. The black market only sells a bottle of purple gold for five taels, but here it's ten taels... Oh, today it's eight taels."
"Black market? That's where you are destined to go?" Someone immediately laughed at him.
After all, Jubao Pavilion is still a legitimate business, but every seller in the black market can turn into a robber!
The news that Tangjiabao was engaging in purchasing on behalf of others at the entrance of Jubao Pavilion spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
As authentic products were confirmed one by one, more and more people came to seek purchasing agents. After all, there were definitely not a few people who needed elixirs, martial arts, equipment and various rare items from Jubao Pavilion.
A long line gradually formed at the door.
There were even a few minor conflicts due to queue cutting!
As the business became more and more popular, Ban Yilou's expression became more and more complicated...
It feels great to make money.
But how should he explain when he asked Purple Gold City to restock?
Moreover, what Tang Zheng did as "purchasing on behalf of others" was actually just breaking the Zi Jinling's superior mindset. In fact, there was no difficulty in the operation!
So, soon others will follow suit elsewhere!
By that time, wouldn't the Purple Gold Order, a symbol of noble status, become a profitable tool for making money?
Tang Zheng alone brought harm to the entire Purple Gold City.
Ban Yiluo got a headache just thinking about it.
Outside the Jubao Pavilion, the young men from the Tang Family Castle were busy as hell, collecting money, making purchases on behalf of others, and getting commissions from the resale. They were making so much that they were almost going bankrupt.
Many people work hard all year to earn money, but when they divide it up, they still don’t earn as much as they earn in one day!
The biggest order Tang Zixie took was for a set of martial arts that cost one hundred taels of purple gold, but the original price was only forty taels, so he received a commission of twelve purple gold coins for this order!
Twelve purple gold Tongbao coins!
That is one thousand two hundred taels of silver!
"I finally understand why our Master's constellation is purple gold."
"Yes, this... this is absolutely the living God of Wealth!"
Although the rule in Wulong Town is that one should not ask too many questions if possible, however, a teacher who can take out the Purple Gold Token must not be short of money. They don't need to ask, they just know that they can accept the money!
There wasn't much politeness between them and Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng told them to take it, and they took it. They took as much as Tang Zheng told them to take.
Anyway, you won’t go wrong if you listen to the Master.
"Wait, Brother Zixie." A young man from Tangjiabao suddenly pointed to the distance.
"..."Tang Zixie stopped moving his hands.
Tang Xiaotang, Azhi and others on the side also stopped and looked at a group of people in the distance who were striding towards them.
Many buyers pointed out : "Hey? Isn't that Lao Zhao?"
"Has Lao Zhao recovered from his injury? No, his steps are a little weak, or... the medulla oblongata pill is not working... is he going to die?"
"Here we are, all of them."
All the young men from Tang Family Castle gathered together.
A burly man, accompanied by a group of brothers, soon arrived at the entrance of Jubao Pavilion.
The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face was as hard as a knife. After he stopped, he looked at the carriage of Tangjiabao and the doorplate of Jubao Pavilion without saying a word.
His expression was extremely solemn, and even revealed a hint of murderous intent.
Although the children of Tangjiabao knew very well that no one would dare to cause trouble in Jubao Pavilion, most of them had experienced fighting and killing since childhood. When they saw this kind of situation, their first reaction was to put their hands on the weapons...
It was quiet all around.
The buyers and onlookers all looked like they were waiting to watch the fun.
If Boss Zhao and Tangjiabao had a conflict on the territory of Yinlan Villa, especially in front of the gate of Jubao Pavilion, that would be a really exciting thing, at least enough for them to talk about for three or four days after dinner.
Tang Xiaotang had never dealt with such a thing before, and was a little confused. She almost turned her tough girl into a decent woman and asked, "Excuse me...is there anything else you need?"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a plop.
The man with a stern face lifted his clothes, knelt down heavily, touched his head to the ground, and kowtowed three times until blood came out.
Then, he stood up without saying a word, turned around and left with his brothers.
From beginning to end, the man never uttered a word, but his three kowtows seemed to have struck into the hearts of the young men of Tangjiabao.
What they had seen in Wulong Town was always intrigue and deception, people didn't even have the most basic trust in each other, they were used to misery, hatred, and killing, but the only thing they had never seen was...
grateful?
Those three kowtows just now should be called "thank you", right?
Tang Xiaotang looked at Tang Zixie in confusion.
But Tang Zixie gave her the same confused look in response.
"Tsk." Ah Zhi turned his head away and snorted, "This social practice is barely interesting."
"Hohohoho." Ghost Grandpa laughed again.
…
In the Treasure Pavilion, Tang was trying to stuff handfuls of purple gold coins on the counter into his belt. However, purple gold coins were not pure gold, and his old friend simply did not recognize such impure stuff, so, no matter how hard he tried, he could not get them in.
Tang Zheng now only wants to say: "I am such a jerk, really!"
It would be a huge achievement if he could spend all the money in his purple gold belt within his lifetime without causing inflation!
But what is he doing?
I actually wasted my time on making money!
"I've been traveling through time for more than a month, but why can't I change my bad habits as a gold miner?" Tang Zheng threw all the purple gold coins that couldn't fit into his belt into a large shopping bag.
Ban Yilou just came in from outside and told Tang Zheng about the man from the Zhao family.
After he finished speaking, he clicked his tongue twice: "That guy looks very tough. After he banged his head three times, the number of people lining up increased three or four times."
Tang Zheng threw money into the shopping bag without even looking up: "Do you know what this is called?"
Ban Yilou's face darkened, and he muttered, "What?"
"This is called advertising effect." Tang Zheng said, and then there was a rustling sound. The pattern on the shopping bag flashed, and all the purple gold coins inside fell out.
It's broken again.
Ban Yilou's face twitched - who would use a storage bag like this? How much impact of purple gold power could a storage bag with such a shallow array pattern withstand?
Tang Zheng had gotten used to the quality of the storage bag, so he changed it without changing his expression.
In fact, it is not that there are no space props in Xingyao Continent, but each space prop needs to be tailor-made, similar to the bound equipment in the game in his previous life. It is not only troublesome to make, but also troublesome to store and access.
Although the storage bag is not the best, Tang Zheng thinks it is the most convenient and trouble-free one.
"It's really a torture to not have a bank card. Oh, there's not even a fucking wallet!" Tang Zheng complained.
Fortunately, his self-regulation ability is pretty good.
When I thought about the fact that no matter how fancy the designer wallet was in my previous life, it couldn’t hold hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, I suddenly felt balanced.
After tidying up the purple gold Tong Bao coins on the counter, the two casting notebooks finally came up and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Zheng put the money bag aside, patted it and asked, "Master, tell me, am I qualified to teach you how to do business now?"
Ban Yiluo was extremely angry.
Do you want to admit that this is a business? What kind of business is this? It's just nonsense!
But if you say this is not business, then what are the purple gold coins covering the counter just now?
"Always talking about money, aren't you vulgar?" Ban Yilou didn't look at Tang Zheng straight in the eye, blushing and changing the subject, "Let's talk about casting !"
"Hahahahahaha..." Tang Zheng laughed wildly a few times without giving any face.
"Read a book!" Ban Yiluo yelled.
"Okay, okay, the main problem now is that I don't have enough strength now, so it's getting half the result with twice the effort when I cast it. Is there any elixir that can directly upgrade from one star to nine stars? Any price is fine!"
"Are you dreaming?!" Ban Yiluo rolled his eyes at him.
Of course Tang Zheng didn't expect such a thing, he was just joking.
He looked at the pile of materials in front of him and suddenly had an idea: "Well, how about this, we don't forge the dagger that we bet with Bailianfang first..."
Ban Yilou exclaimed: "What are we casting?"
"Let's forge something to help cultivate star power first. Anyway, I have plenty of purple gold here, in any purity!"
Tian Meng said that purple gold is a precious metal that fell from the starry sky. Its most important use is to communicate star power and assist in cultivation.
Well, since he is not strong enough now, using purple gold to forge some items to assist in cultivation should be the best solution...
However, Ban Yilou's eyes suddenly blinked: "You mean... cast in purple gold?"
Tang Zheng nodded: "That's about it, any questions?"
Ban Yilou slammed the table and yelled, "Playing around? Do you know what purple gold casting is? Purple gold casting cannot be done with the ready-made materials in your hand. It involves a lot of knowledge such as purple gold ratio, formation structure, spark control, etc. Only the best foundry masters can complete purple gold casting! You, now, learn the basics well! Don't want to learn before you learn to eat!"
"Ahem." Tang Zheng raised his hand to correct him, "I think it would be more appropriate to say 'want to learn to run before learning to walk'?"
"Is that the point?!" Ban Yiluo shouted at the top of his voice.
"The point is, you have to tell me how to speed up my cultivation, right?" Tang Zhengdao said.
