Chapter 618 Robbery of newcomers
The wooden siege is the first barrier against monsters, but the main force is the casual warriors.
The army attached to the city lord's palace is only responsible for maintaining order.
Every time a warrior kills ten low-level monsters, he can exchange them for a low-level crystal stone.
An intermediate level monster can be directly exchanged for a low-grade crystal stone.
Therefore, casual warriors with no background would mostly come to Muwei to earn crystal stones for their own cultivation.
And robbing newcomers has been a rule since ancient times.
As long as no lives are lost, the military will not intervene.
Of course, each newcomer can only be robbed once, at least on the surface.
"These bastards got the better of us again!"
A warrior who heard the noise came out to check and was very upset when he saw it.
He just slept in and missed out on such a good thing!
"How many offerings can Old Gou Gong get this time?"
Offerings are what they call the crystal stones handed over to the people who were robbed.
Someone next to him laughed.
"I bet two dollars."
"Two pieces? I think you think too highly of the newcomer. If he can come up with one piece, that would be great."
"That's not certain. I'll bet three dollars."
"Hey, I can't even get a piece of my bet. Old Gou Gong can't be so lucky every time, right?"
The sound of discussion reached his ears, and Ling Tian probably understood.
The warrior in front of him, nicknamed Gong Laogou, did not lie to him. There was indeed such a rule here.
but……
Who stipulates that only newcomers can be robbed?
Ling Tian looked at the people in front of him with a bright smile.
"Brother Dog, are you sure you want a piece?"
"It's a piece for each person!"
Gong Laogou repeated it, suddenly feeling that something was not right.
He was still smiling so happily after being robbed. Is this kid sick?
Or should I say, I met a fat sheep today.
People don't care at all about a few pieces of low-grade crystals?
Gong Laogou rolled his eyes, changed his mind, pointed at Ling Tian's nose and said angrily.
"Who allowed you to call me Brother Dog?"
"My name is Gong Gou, Gou's Gou!"
"How dare you call me Brother Dog? Tell me what to do about this."
"I'm sorry, Brother Dog. Otherwise, I'll give each of you another crystal stone?" Ling Tian said with an apologetic smile.
Gong Laogou snorted coldly and said unsatisfied.
"One piece? Where's the one you sent to beg for food?"
"I'm not an unforgiving person. Seeing how sensible you are, I'll give each of you five crystals!"
There are six of them in total, and each of them costs five yuan, which is 30 yuan.
For most warriors, this is already quite a lot.
Ling Tian smiled faintly.
"no problem."
Hearing this, Gong Laogou knew that he wanted less, and he felt regretful.
Others' eyes turned red when they saw it.
I don’t care about 30 yuan crystals.
This is not a fat sheep, this is simply a money tree!
Gong Laogou is cheap!
Someone had a sour taste.
"There are so many crystal stones, and nine times out of ten, they belong to some family."
"Old Gou Gong is not afraid that the crystal will be hot when he holds it."
That's what he said, but everyone wanted to replace Gong Laogou and his gang with themselves.
"Brother Dog, please wait while I get off, and I'll get the spar."
Ling Tian turned around and went back to the room. When he came back, he already had an extra crystal in his hand.
Seeing the blue crystal stone, Gong Laogou's eyes widened.
Medium grade crystal!
After living for so many years, this was the second time he saw a mid-grade crystal stone.
The last time, it was just a glance from a distance.
Gong Laogou's hand uncontrollably grabbed the mid-grade crystal stone, but Ling Tian dodged it.
"you……"
"Brother Dog, what are you doing?"
Ling Tian frowned and looked at Gong Laogou.
Only then did Gong Laogou realize that he was too anxious and coughed dryly.
"I just want to take a look..."
Sure enough, I wanted less!
But at the same time, he was also glad that he didn't ask for too much.
The one who can take out the middle-grade crystal stones is undoubtedly a child of a big family. If he really angers the other party, he will not be able to eat it and walk away.
Gong Laogou's companions thought so too.
Although they are jealous, they cherish their lives even more.
Ling Tian said oh, as if he really believed Gong Laogou's words, and took the initiative to hand over the crystal.
"Casual look."
so generous?
Aren't you afraid that he will snatch it and run away?
Seeing how calm Ling Tian was, Gong Laogou was even more convinced that he was from the big family.
Gong Laogou took the crystal and held it in his hand.
He looked so cautious, as if he was afraid that the crystal would fall to the ground and break into pieces by accident.
"Brother Dog, let me see it too."
"I also want to see……"
Gong Laogou's companion looked at him with fiery eyes.
Old Gong's face turned cold.
"What are you looking at? It's just a mid-grade crystal. What's there to see?"
With that said, he hurriedly returned the crystal to Ling Tian.
He asked again eagerly.
"Um, the five low-grade crystal stones we just agreed upon..."
"Sorry, Brother Dog, I only have medium-grade crystal stones on me."
"Can you find it?"
Ling Tian showed an apologetic smile.
Find a fart.
A piece of medium-grade crystal is equivalent to a low-grade crystal worth 1000 yuan.
If they had so many crystals, why would they need to rob a newcomer?
Gong Laogou looked embarrassed.
Fortunately, Ling Tian took the initiative to propose a solution.
"Or so."
"I will give you this medium-grade crystal stone."
"According to what I just said, how about you give me an IOU for the extra amount?"
Is there such a good thing?
Gong Laogou's first reaction was disbelief.
Mid-grade crystals are so rare that even if someone offered 1000 yuan for a low-grade crystal, no one would be willing to exchange them.
But looking at Ling Tian's sincere expression, it didn't look like he was lying to him.
"Brother Dog, please agree!"
"Mid-grade crystal, Brother Dog, what are you still hesitating about?"
Under the urging of his companion, Gong Laogou gritted his teeth and nodded.
"no problem!"
Before he finished speaking, someone immediately came over with paper and pen.
In front of Ling Tian, Gong Laogou wrote an IOU, and several people signed and fingerprinted it.
Gong Laogou handed it to Ling Tian.
Ling Tian looked at it and saw that there was nothing wrong with it.
He was about to hand the crystal to Gong Laogou when he suddenly remembered something and took his hand back.
Gong Laogou was so anxious that he almost went up to grab it.
Fortunately, I haven't lost my mind yet.
"By the way, Brother Dog, I still have something to ask for."
"you say……"
Old Gou Gong didn't even raise his head, staring eagerly at the mid-grade crystal stone.
Ling Tian smiled sheepishly and said.
"I'm new here and don't know much about this place."
"Brother Dog, can you take me with you for a while?"
That's it?
Gong Laogou waved his hand.
"can!"
"Then little brother, crystal stone..."
"Oh, yes, yes, Brother Gou, I'll give you the spar... Brother Gou, can you write this on the IOU?"
Ling Tian stretched out his hand and then took it back.
Old Gong's face was twisted in anxiety, and he gritted his teeth.
"Okay, I'll write it now!"
After a few strokes, there was an extra clause on the IOU.
Ling Tian nodded with satisfaction, put away the IOU, and threw the crystal to Gong Laogou.
The azure crystal stones sparkle charmingly in the sunlight.
Gong Laogou stretched out his hands to pick up the spar.
But just before the crystal fell into his palm.
Snapped.
A hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the crystal stone first.
