Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 12: Cool Spring Water

Lin Shenshi Jianlu: "Sorry, sorry! I have to state in advance that 50 copper coins is just a verification price. This refreshing spring water is a treasure of ordinary quality. If I weren't in urgent need of the money, I wouldn't be selling it! So I have to raise the transaction price! I'm really sorry, I really can't sell it at a lower price!"

The other party was obviously well prepared with the rhetoric that was like a machine gun that confused him.

Be sincere in your words and polite in your attitude.

However, Ling Xiao was skeptical and did not take it seriously.

Are you kidding me?
If he can be coaxed into paying money with just a few words, then can he be worthy of the life and death of himself?
What's more, Ling Xiao has never acted like a rich man, wealthy, or cool, because he doesn't have the capital, nor does he have the vanity to "spread out his feathers like a peacock" in front of girls.

I couldn’t pretend before, and I still can’t learn it now!
Ling Xiao: "I only have fifty-eight copper coins on me. Can we trade?"

The firelight reflected on the smooth and jade-like face, adding a bit of vitality to the young girl who was wearing fake natural makeup.

After sending out her draft, which she had revised many times, with a little nervousness, Lin Lu frowned slightly and couldn't help feeling annoyed.

"Isn't that a bit too harsh? Will it just discourage people from leaving?"

"But I really, really need money. I've sold everything on me, even my socks. A hundred copper coins is so hard to come by..."

"Wuwuwu... What the hell is [Man of Steel]? How can a girl be given a random talent like this? You can become stronger by taking a beating, but I'm afraid of pain. I don't want to get hit!"

The little theater in my heart is singing its own bad news.

Her lips were pursed tightly in confusion, and even the vibrant lipstick couldn't hide the slight paleness beneath her pink complexion.

next moment.

After seeing the visitor's nickname, Lin Lu's mouth unconsciously opened and she cried out, "Is this... Xiao? The big guy who's in the top three of the three rankings, second in the two rankings, and still climbing up the points rapidly!?"

It happened that Ling Xiao sent his quotation directly, and for a moment, the girl was in a state of confusion.

She once fought with someone at the seafood market for an entire afternoon just to get a higher price for her used COSER costume when she sold it second-hand; she also had a heated argument with the ladies at the vegetable market just to make sure that the fresh tripe at the slaughterhouse had less water when it was weighed.

Women are always inexplicably keen on bargaining, and every time they successfully force the other party to give in, it feels like a huge victory.

Even if it's just a zero, a good mood for the day can start from then on.

But now that they have been thrown into a survival game in an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by a sinister and unpredictable strange gray fog, the mentality of the others is unclear, but Lin Lu has already clearly realized the situation.

Hug your thighs!
You must hold your thighs!
I am far from being capable or having the right character. If I participate in this so-called "survival", I will die sooner or later!

She doesn't want to die, so she has to rely on others, either to keep each other warm or to become a vassal of the "strong".

Right now, a huge thigh is stretched out in front of me. This opportunity has dropped from the sky. Can I seize it?!
You have to organize your language well and show your value in attracting the other party!
Lin Shenshi saw the deer: "Hello, sir! Um... fifty-eight copper coins is indeed a lot, but I really need the money. How about I send you the list and you can pick a few more items and add some money? Is that okay with you?"

Expected pitiful words.

These merchants are the best at deceiving people, especially those who engage in "online shopping".

Things like selling goods at a loss to boost sales and vomiting blood to have a warehouse sale, he just spoke them out without thinking. Ling Xiao was very calm, without any ripples in his mood, not surprised at all.

Lin Lu's mood at this moment was extremely complicated.

I'm afraid that the boss will be dismissive and not respond directly, but I'm also afraid that the boss may not be in his right mind and will read and reply randomly.

After all, a ruthless person who can reach this ranking and is getting further ahead does not look like a normal person who is trembling like her.

The waiting time is always spent in agony.

Fortunately, after a few seconds, the boss spoke again.

His soft back stiffened instantly, his heartbeat quickened, and he nervously read word by word with Lin Lu.

[Xiao: "Please make an offer at once. I only have fifty-eight copper coins, but I can make up for it with other things."]

The restless little rabbit in my chest was about to jump out.

Lin Lu stood up suddenly, breathing rapidly and forcing herself to calm down.

There is hope, there is hope!
He was now short of seventy-two ominous copper coins to get enough money for a random talent ball.

The asking price cannot be too high, it must be more "honest" and "favorable", and you must not anger the big boss who has finally appeared... Anyone with a brain understands what it means to have double-digit or even triple-digit copper coins at this stage.

Lin Lu’s price tag is probably only affordable by “high-level players” who have received ranking rewards.

This is the first buyer who has passed the capital verification, and he is likely to be the last big boss who has the need and can afford to pay.

If you miss your natal talent ball today, it will be hard to find it again.

We must not let the big money sponsor get away!

Lin Shenshi saw the deer: "Seventy-five! Uh... seventy, actually, sixty-five copper coins would be fine too!"

Then she added weakly, "Of course! If you really want it, I can give you more..."

[Xiao: Seventy, maybe. Fifty-eight copper coins, plus six source core fragments. If you give these to the system for recycling, each one will sell for two copper coins. The actual price should be higher. Even if you can't wait to sell it at a low price, it's enough to cover the cost.]

The domineering and generous price brought with it a surprise, filling Lin Lu's little head.

Now she just felt a little dizzy. The unexpected surprise was really the most beautiful summary in the world.

Lin Shenshi saw the deer: "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir! Thank you so much, so much!"

Before she could continue to thank him frantically, Ling Xiao's response was as blunt and direct as ever.

Xiao: "Given the quality and benefits of the cool spring water, it should be able to fetch hundreds of copper coins in a while. You and I are both in trouble, and we are both forced to make this deal."

"I haven't fallen to the point where I need to rely on trickery and robbery to make money. We both get what we need. Besides, if you really count it, you're the one who's at a disadvantage."

Lin Lu was deeply moved. She felt her nose sore and her watery eyes became brighter and more crystal clear.

A stranger who had never met her before, in such a situation, was so kind as to help her in her time of need, which made her feel ashamed as she was still repeatedly considering how to ask for a price.

I wanted to jump into the fire and burn myself to death out of shame.

Lin Shenshi saw Lu: "Boss, you're such a good person! I can't ask you for so much for nothing, so I'll give you all the remaining merchandise. There are some items I found in the boxes, even though they're mostly wood, stone, and the only equipment is a tattered piece..."

Lines of product information popped up in front of Ling Xiao, all of which were "free gifts" given by the other party for free out of gratitude.

In addition to the three standard pieces of equipment, Ling Xiao finally has new equipment.

Although it is indeed in ruins, it is better than nothing!

【Tough Armguards (Broken)】

[Quality: Poor (Ordinary) — To be repaired]

[Conditions: Strength reaches 3, Constitution reaches 3; consumes 10 points of Stamina to activate; cooldown time is minutes]

[Special Effect: Temporarily increases Strength by 1 point and Constitution by 1 point after activation]

[Evaluation: Things that can only be truly powerful after being repaired are now simply called—garbage!]

Ok!

You have to pay for the repair yourself.

But putting aside the function, after equipping it, it can be regarded as a piece of "armor" to some extent, and it increases the physical defense, so it is not a loss.

In short, how many solutions are there to difficulties?

Nothing lost!

Wait, Ling Xiao seemed to see a flash of white.

[Owl: "Why are you giving me socks? What can I do with them?!"]

Lin Shenshi saw Lu: "Ah, this!!! Sorry, sorry, boss! How about you..."
