Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented
Chapter 679 Discussing Plans
After saying that, Shiji snapped his fingers, gathered spiritual energy in his hands, and attacked the awake warriors. The warriors wanted to curse, but found that they couldn't speak at all.
This cell is very magical, in which their spiritual power and true energy cannot be used. But Shiji has his own way.
He opened the cell door and walked forward step by step under the horrified gazes of the warriors.
He took out the pills that he had prepared long ago and fed them into the warriors' mouths. These pills could seal their true qi and spiritual power.
Shiji walked out of the prison door and followed the orc leading the way to the orc king again.
He suggested that the warriors help with the mining, after all, this would save some unnecessary meals. Shiji said that they could do all the dirty and tiring work, just as a form of exercise. The orc king agreed.
Shiji was about to set off. He sat in the carriage with the minerals they had dug loaded in the back.
"Be sure to be safe." The Orc King warned.
"Thank you for your concern, King. I will." After saying that, Shiji set off with a group of orcs.
They chose the human continent closest to the Orc Kingdom for trading.
"Where is your pass?" asked the guard at the city gate.
After Shiji handed over her ID, she secretly slipped a piece of silver to the guard.
"Here it is," he said.
"Okay, go in." The guard pretended to take a look and let them in.
"Miss, please walk slower." The maid ran to catch up with Lin Shuyao in front of her.
She was the daughter of a famous local businessman. At this time, she saw Shiji who had just entered the city.
Shiji had already heard that the daughter of a famous local businessman would go to the street to purchase ore today.
Looking at the lady in front of me who is dressed flamboyantly and wearing many valuable jewels, I must be her.
"Hello, miss. I heard that you need a large amount of ore. I happen to have top-quality ore here. Can we talk in detail?" Shiji asked.
Lin Shuyao looked at Shiji carefully and felt that he didn't seem like a bad person, so she gradually let down her guard.
"You said these ores are of top quality, but how do you prove it? You can't just rely on your words. What if you are just bragging?" Lin Shuyao questioned.
Shiji was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to prove it. He looked at Lin Shuyao and knew that she was an amateur, and it was futile to explain to her.
"Ms. Lin, I heard that your family is in the jewelry business, so you should be very knowledgeable about these things. But... why do I feel like you don't know anything about it at all!" Shi Ji said lightly.
Lin Shuyao felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. With so many people watching, this was clearly a slap in her face.
"You say I don't understand? What a joke! Although our Lin family is wealthy, money doesn't come from the wind. We always have to make sure whether something is worth it!" Lin Shuyao retorted.
"Besides, our shop has a fixed ore supplier and has been cooperating for more than ten years. I see that you are only in your early twenties. Who knows if you are reliable?"
Lin Shuyao pointed the finger at Shiji in just a few words, which made the people around her curious and started to talk about it in low voices.
"What Miss Lin said makes sense. He's so young and already dealing in minerals. He might be a liar!"
"Look at this ore, it's colorful, it's completely different from what we bought before, it's probably of inferior quality."
"..."
Everyone was talking, expressing their doubts about Shiji. Shiji shook her head helplessly. There was really nothing she could do when she met such a person who didn't know the value of things.
"If people don't trust it, then forget it. It would be a waste to sell such a good thing to people who don't know its value," said Shiji.
People were coming and going in the market, and everyone just glanced at it and didn't stop to take a closer look.
"What are you still doing here?" Shiji looked at Lin Shuyao and said unhappily, with a look of annoyance on her face. Lin Shuyao was spoiled and had never been treated like this before. She was angry but also had a little interest in Shiji.
"Do you know who I am? I am..." Lin Shuyao was about to reveal her identity but was interrupted by Shiji.
"You are Lin Shuyao, the daughter of a local wealthy man, and your family is in the jewelry business. You have said this many times, so there is no need to emphasize it again." Shiji said impatiently.
Shiji has never liked this kind of unruly young lady. She relies on her family's wealth to look down on others and thinks that everyone should be afraid of her and flatter her. It's really ridiculous.
"That's good to know! Let me tell you, the jewelry business in this city is monopolized by my father. With just one word from my father, you'll never be able to sell these broken ores." Lin Shuyao said arrogantly.
"So, you'd better be polite to me."
Shiji didn't take it seriously, and continued to polish the things in her hands as if she didn't hear anything. Seeing that nothing she said could scare Shiji, Lin Shuyao's tone became even tougher.
"You... No one has ever dared to do this to me! You really won't cry until you see the coffin. Didn't you say that this is top-quality ore? Then I'll ask my father to come and take a look. If what you said is a lie, I will go to the government to sue you for fraud!"
After saying that, Lin Shuyao sent the servants around her to invite her father.
A smile appeared on Shiji's lips, and his goal was achieved.
Inside the Lin Mansion!
"Master, master, something terrible has happened!" The young man hurriedly ran towards Lin Jian.
"Master, it's the lady, the lady..." the waiter said, panting and stammering.
When Lin Jian heard that something had happened to his daughter, he instantly panicked and quickly put down what he was doing.
"What's wrong with Shuyao?" Lin Jian asked anxiously.
Lin Jian had a daughter when he was old, and he only had this precious daughter. He always treated her as the apple of his eye and obeyed her. It was also because of Lin Jian's doting that Lin Shuyao had an arrogant and domineering personality. Lin Jian not only did not think this was inappropriate, but he thought his daughter was extremely cute.
The waiter took a big sip of water and continued, "The lady met a liar at the market. The man said that his ore was all first-rate and good. The lady didn't believe him, and the two started arguing."
The clerk exaggerated the situation, and his ability to make up lies was no worse than Lin Shuyao's. Lin Jian, who was eager to protect his daughter, thought that she was bullied, and rushed to the market with a group of people.
At this time, Lin Shuyao was sitting aside, leisurely eating roasted sweet potatoes. Shiji glanced at her from time to time, which made Lin Shuyao feel a little uncomfortable. "What are you looking at? I'll give you the money when my dad comes. It's just a roasted sweet potato, right? How can I owe you money?" Lin Shuyao said.
"But let's be clear. If your ore is fake, I will still report you to the authorities. I will not show mercy just because you bought me a baked sweet potato."
Lin Shuyao wiped her mouth as she spoke, eating with gusto.
Not long after, Shiji saw a group of people coming towards him aggressively in the distance. His intuition told him that these people were most likely coming for him. When he saw the young man, he finally confirmed his guess.
"Shuyao, let me see who dares to bully you!" Lin Jian's voice came, and Lin Shuyao stood up suddenly.
"Dad, you're here!" she shouted.
Lin Jian didn't bother to pay attention to Lin Shuyao. He rolled up his sleeves, and his aggressive look surprised both Lin Shuyao and Shi Ji.
"You are the one who bullied my daughter, right? I will teach you a lesson. You even dare to bully my daughter, Lin Jian!" Lin Jian roared.
However, before his fist could land on Shiji, he was stopped by Lin Shuyao.
"Dad, what are you talking about? He didn't bully me!" Lin Shuyao said hurriedly.
Then she turned her attention to the young boy Xiaojiu.
"Xiaojiu, what nonsense did you say to the master again!" she asked.
Xiaojiu seemed a little guilty and lowered his head.
Shiji raised a smile and thought that like master, like servant.
"Shuyao, he didn't bully you, so why were you so anxious to ask Xiaojiu to call me over?" Lin Jian asked puzzledly. His fierce look just now was seen by everyone, and now he felt a little embarrassed.
"Dad, this man said that what he sells are top-grade minerals, rare in the world. You have experience in these things, come and take a look. If what he said is a lie, we will go to the government to expose him." Lin Shuyao said to Shiji arrogantly.
Lin Jian then noticed the ore on the ground. His eyes suddenly fell on a dark green ore at the innermost part, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He picked up the ore without saying a word and examined it carefully for a long time.
Everyone waited with bated breath, wanting to know Lin Jian's reaction. Lin Shuyao had a look on her face that said "you're dead", while Shiji seemed indifferent.
"Good! Really good! This is a rare emerald ore, very rare. Its green color reaches a medium-bright level and the color is saturated. If it is made into jewelry, it will definitely be priceless!" Lin Jian exclaimed.
After that, he picked up another stone that was yellow on the outside and purple on the inside, and said with surprise: "This is a raw purple chalcedony stone. The colors vary greatly from place to place."
"And this..." Lin Jian subconsciously introduced these seemingly insignificant stones. Judging from his reaction, these stones were not simple, which made Lin Shuyao a little flustered.
"Dad, are you sure these minerals are real? Are you seeing things?" she asked.
"Shuyao, you really helped dad a lot this time! This gentleman is right, these minerals are indeed rare in the world. If it hadn't taken thousands of years, it would be impossible to form such precious minerals." Lin Jian said.
As soon as Lin Jian said this, Lin Shuyao's expression changed immediately. She never thought that the ore sold by Shiji was real.
She had originally planned to hand Shiji over to the government, so that they could educate him and guide him to be good. But now it seems that she is the one who got slapped in the face!
"Miss Lin, you just swore in front of so many people that I was selling fake goods, which really damaged the image of Mr. Chu. In this case, please, Miss Lin, clear my name in front of everyone." Shi Ji said.
Lin Shuyao's face instantly turned red to her ears. She never expected Shiji to do this. Did he really want her to lose face in front of so many people?
She subconsciously looked at her father, but Lin Jian loved the mine so much that he had no time to pay attention to her. Lin Shuyao knew she was wrong and could only apologize in front of everyone.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I apologize to you," she said.
Shiji finally smiled contentedly. So what if she was the eldest daughter of the Lin family? She still had to apologize if she did something wrong.
"Mr. Chu, I will buy all the minerals on your stall." Lin Jian said generously.
This made Shiji very excited.
"Mr. Lin, these minerals are extremely precious, so their prices are naturally not the same as ordinary minerals. But don't worry, I'm not a greedy person." Shiji said.
"How about this! I'll sell it to you at a price 30% higher than the market price. How about that?" He proposed a plan.
Lin Jian hesitated. The price was reasonable, but it was difficult for him to come up with so much money at once. After hesitating for a long time, he came up with a solution.
"Mr. Chu, this price is indeed amazing, but I really don't have that much cash on hand," he said.
"How about this! You sell it to me at a price 20% higher than the market price. After this batch of goods is sold, I will give you 20% of the profit. What do you think?" He proposed another plan.
"If you think it's okay, let's sign a document now. I will take all your minerals from now on." Lin Jian said sincerely.
Shiji couldn't help but feel curious when she saw that Lin Jian seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Mr. Lin, do you have any other concerns? Please tell me directly," he asked.
"Mr. Chu, to be honest with you, I have lived for decades, and I have been to almost all the mines within this area of hundreds of miles. Where did this batch of ore in your hand come from?" Lin Jian asked.
Shiji was silent for a while, then found an excuse to evade the matter. He had finally found a buyer with whom he could cooperate for a long time, and he couldn't tell Lin Jian that this batch of goods was mined from the Orc Kingdom!
"In that case, I will bring people to pick up the goods at this time tomorrow. Please be on time, Mr. Chu!" After the matter was settled, Shiji left.
Shiji has already reached an agreement with the other party and is now on his way back to the Beast Tribe. He is still carefully pondering the specific details of tomorrow's transaction. After all, this is a transaction with the human race and there is no room for any carelessness.
At this time, Xin broke the silence and said, "Shiji, now is a good time."
Shiji was still immersed in his own thoughts and didn't react for a while. Seeing this, Xin waved his hand in front of him. Shiji came back to his senses and smiled, "What's wrong?"
Xin frowned and asked in confusion, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so obsessed?"
Shiji looked at Xin's inquiring eyes and decided to tell him the truth: "What else can I think about? Of course it's tomorrow's transaction. You see, humans will definitely be scared when they see beasts. The scene may be chaotic, and that would be troublesome. So I think the people transporting the ore tomorrow cannot be beastmen."
Xin listened to Shiji's words and nodded thoughtfully, thinking that what he said made a lot of sense. Then, he thought about it and said, "Then don't let them go, we can just go by ourselves."
Shiji thought Xin's suggestion made sense, but then he asked another question: "If we go by ourselves, when will we be able to transport the ore back?"
Xin was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do. He frowned and said helplessly: "What should we do? If we fail, the beast king might be disappointed, and then we will be in trouble." (End of this chapter)
