Chapter 274 The People Who Flee
Johnny's smile immediately disappeared. After seeing Liu Chi's playful face, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Let's get down to business. The market price in Hull is about two purple crystal coins for a fur of this quality."
Johnny grabbed a piece of fur in front of him, spread it out, and rubbed his hands on it, as if waiting for Catherine's reply.
"Then let's trade at this price, but there's a full house here, how do you calculate the price?"
Catherine asked,
For a moment, the two were stumped by this question, and it was Liu Chi who gave them advice.
"How about this? I think one cubic meter of fur can be counted as eight pieces. This room is probably only about 70 to 80 cubic meters. How about we divide it by 75 cubic meters? Then the total will be exactly 120 diamond coins."
After listening to Liu Chi's words, Johnny immediately started calculating. After some calculations, he was overjoyed.
After the search just now, Johnny knew very well that this room was more than 75 cubic meters, and one cubic meter of furs, when piled together and squeezed layer by layer, would contain about twenty pieces.
Although the top is fluffy and has gaps, overall, I saved at least half of the purchase price compared to calculating the price one by one.
"Okay, it's settled. Anyway, this store is going to be repurchased, so the goods will be temporarily placed here. As for the money~"
As he spoke, Johnny began to rummage through his body and grabbed several purses together in his hands.
"Here should be 100 diamond coins. My little brothers have more outside. Let's go out and talk, shall we? Come on!"
Johnny held out his hand to Catherine. Out of disgust for other men, Catherine did not reach out to take it, but said,
"Butler, please collect the money!"
"Thanks, Brother Johnny!"
Liu Chi smiled brightly, took the purse from Johnny's hand with both hands, then put it into his own pocket, and then put it directly into the space ring.
Seeing that Liu Chi didn't count, Johnny didn't ask. He didn't know whether the exact number was one hundred, but the total amount of protection fees received these days was indeed around one hundred, which was about right.
After the three people came out, the eight people in the hall looked at them.
It was Johnny who spoke first.
"Gather twenty diamond coins from the group and give them to this steward. Our deal is done!"
After hearing this, the four younger brothers looked at each other. After the first person took out five diamond coins, soon twenty diamond coins were piled on the table, and Liu Chi put them all into his pocket without hesitation.
Seeing Liu Chi making eye contact with him, the old man coughed a few times.
"Ahem! Brother Johnny, guests, I'm leaving now. You guys can chat slowly, I won't disturb you!"
After saying this, the old man took the young man, who was still reluctant to leave the tavern, and left without looking back.
Seeing the old man leave tactfully, Liu Chi felt relieved. The next step was for him and his companions to find a way to escape.
"Then my eldest lady and I will stay in Hull for a few days. Where can I find you? Brother Johnny? I'll trouble you to take care of me when I join the organization."
Johnny glanced at Liu Chi and shook his head.
"I don't think I invited you to join our organization? I was talking about the three beautiful girls here."
"That?"
"It's okay, just play with us for a few days and then go back to the Western Continent, that's all!"
Catherine smiled at Liu Chi, then looked at Johnny.
"Brother Johnny, let's go first. Let's meet at this tavern in two days. After all, this is where I had my first meal in the South Continent. It has commemorative significance."
Johnny nodded slightly, and after watching Liu Chi and the other three leave, he stood up from his chair happily.
“This is a big fish.”
"What's wrong, brother?"
"They seem to be traveling. They are new merchants and don't know much about the market. Let's go. I have collected a batch of high-quality materials and will sell them slowly. They can be sold for at least 400 diamond coins."
Then the four younger brothers followed him into the dim room.
Because the light was too dim, a little brother who knew a little magic habitually cast a fireball to provide illumination.
After seeing the fireball rising in the hands of his younger brother, Johnny couldn't help but slapped him in the face.
"What? Do you want to be buried with this batch of materials? And you're playing with fire? Don't you know that this is flammable?!"
The man who was slapped covered his cheek. At this time, in addition to the high bulge on his entire face, a big red hand mark was also "branded" on his face.
"I was wrong, brother!!!"
After Liu Chi took the three people away, based on the positioning of the technological system, he caught up with the grandfather and grandson a few streets away.
"Old man!"
Hearing the familiar voice, the old man turned around, his expression showing joy but then became gloomy.
"Are you guys okay? Are you really going to join the organization?"
"You're kidding! Where are you going, old man?"
"I'm leaving Helbei. The imperial capital is in chaos now. It's no longer the same as it was when I was young. I plan to go to Cuxhaven, a port city in the northeast corner of the southern continent."
"Is that so?" Liu Chi smiled.
"I'm just a tourist, I'm afraid I can't accompany you. If you don't mind, you can take these as food money."
After saying that, Liu Chi casually took out a purse from the several purses Johnny had given him and stuffed it directly into the old man's hand.
After reacting, the old man's expression suddenly changed.
"No, I can't take this money, it's from the goods you sold!"
After saying this, Liu Chi and the old man reenacted the awkward scene of relatives giving each other red envelopes when they part.
At once, many passers-by looked towards the two of them.
Seeing that he was about to attract the attention of the patrolling soldiers, Liu Chi hardened his heart and put the purse that the old man pushed back directly into the boy next to him.
Just like a child going out to pay New Year's greetings, the boy naturally wanted the money.
"Alright! That's it!"
Liu Chi looked serious.
"This is what you deserve, old man. There is no time to lose. You should leave immediately. Johnny's people will be here soon."
"Why do you say that?"
Liu Chi laughed, picked up the gravel on the ground and placed it in his palm. Under the influence of his soul's transformation, the gravel turned into slowly crawling little insects.
The old man looked at the scene in front of him, surprise written all over his face.
"There is such magic?"
Liu Chi threw away the gravel in his hand and waved to the two of them.
"farewell!"
The two groups then parted ways on the street.
After seeing Liu Chi's performance, Catherine was very happy.
"So everything in that room is fake?"
Liu Chi nodded.
"That's why we have to run quickly."
"Where to go?"
"Let's go to the east of Hull. We can't stay in the central part for the time being. And the Unite Trade Union is also in the east."
"Are you going to look for your elf sister?"
At the tavern, before anyone could start partying, the fur in front of him suddenly became shabby. After rubbing his eyes repeatedly, Johnny suddenly realized that he had been cheated.
Out of anger, Johnny pulled away the fur in front of him with all his strength, and then the scene in front of him made his eyes go black, and his legs instantly went weak and he sat on the ground.
Garbage! Why is it all garbage?
