Guo Shier grinned and said, "Old Tong, are you reluctant to part with them? Your shop sells talismans. Is there any difference between selling them to me and selling them to someone else? Old Tong, calculate the price … "
Tong Zhi looked depressed. He didn't expect Guo Shier to be so straightforward. He didn't even look at the three talismans as if they were free. He said, "No … I didn't mean that. I meant …"
Guo Shier didn't let him continue and interrupted, "You mean there are other high-level talismans?"
Xie Xiaoping couldn't help but laugh. He rarely saw Tong Zhi being defeated. In fact, he also couldn't figure out why Guo Shier wanted so many talismans. A talisman master only needed to be proficient in a few high-level talismans. Too many talismans wouldn't be good and would instead affect the effectiveness of the attack. This was common knowledge in the talisman world.
Tong Zhi said, "Okay, okay … Young Martial Uncle, you're ruthless. I'll sell them to you! Each talisman is fifty thousand talisman coins, a total of one hundred and fifty thousand … "
Guo Shier slightly frowned. He didn't have that many talisman coins. The local talisman coins were different from the Northern Fu Men's talisman coins. They couldn't be used interchangeably. He said, "Xiaoping, Young Martial Uncle doesn't have that much money. You pay first … I'll tell Master's wife and ask her to return it to you."
Xie Xiaoping said straightforwardly, "No problem."
Guo Shier complained, "Old Tong … You know I'm young and Master's wife doesn't give me much pocket money. These three talismans aren't cheap. Can you give me a little more discount?"
Falconer couldn't help but snicker. He had seen this little guy's bargaining skills many times.
Tong Zhi originally wanted to say that high-level talismans like True Treasure Talismans couldn't be discounted. But Guo Shier's identity was different. Moreover, he was a child. He didn't know how to explain. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "This … Young Martial Uncle, these are True Treasure Talismans …"
Guo Shier said, "I know. True Treasure Talismans, high-level talismans. How about this? One talisman for ten thousand talisman coins." He didn't even blink and named a stunning price.
Tong Zhi was surprised and shouted, "That's impossible!"
Guo Shier put on a frightened expression and said, "If you can't, then you can't … Why did you yell at me?"
Xie Xiaoping was also shocked. Tong Zhi's voice was too loud. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hey, Old Tong, what are you shouting for … Don't scare Young Martial Uncle."
Tong Zhi said, "It's not that I'm shouting, but this price … Even if I finish my work here, I won't be able to earn it … How can I fill this hole?" He was really anxious.
Guo Shier suddenly said, "What is the base price?"
Tong Zhi casually replied, "The base price is 22,000!"
Guo Shi 'er said, "Well, I won't make it difficult for you. 22,000 it is! "I can't afford it!"
Tong Zhi was on the verge of crying. How could they bully him like this? It wasn't easy for him to purchase such a high-grade talisman, yet he didn't earn any money from it. How was he going to open his shop?
Xie Xiaoping was also dumbfounded. This child was too cunning. He said, "How about twenty-five thousand! Uncle, we have to give Tong a reason to do this. Otherwise, he won't be able to answer to the Dachen Shop. "
Guo Shi 'er answered quickly, "Okay, that's it!"
Tong Zhi knew that Guo Shier was difficult to deal with. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything if he kept fighting. "Okay, I'll give it to you."
Guo Shi 'er reacted quickly and said, "You want to show filial piety to me? Okay, you pay for it! "He was not polite at all.
Tong Zhi was scared and said, "I don't mean that … I don't mean that …"
Xie Xiaoping helped to explain, "Little Martial Uncle, Old Tong means that this discount … is his way of showing filial respect to you."
Tong Zhikuang nodded. He had been tormented by Guo Shier to the point that he could not take it anymore.
Hawk Demon walked outside alone. He couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. Guo Shier wasn't an ordinary kid. Xie Xiaoping and Tong Zhi couldn't beat him.
Guo Shier knew that he couldn't go too far. He smiled and said, "So it's like this. Okay, thanks. I'll treat you today. Let's go to a restaurant for a meal."
According to Xie Xiaoping's suggestion, a true treasure talisman was worth twenty-five thousand big talisman money. Tong Zhi could barely pay for it. With Xie Xiaoping here, he could explain it to his father. After such a torment, the two had a much more respectful attitude towards Guo Shier. This kid wasn't ordinary. Not only was he smart, he was also eloquent. He made the two embarrassed.
Guo Shier stood up and said, "Let's go to a restaurant. Tong, let's go together."
Tong Zhi was a playboy. He had never seen a kid like this before. He said, "I lost today. Hmph, I'll eat it back!"
Guo Shier smiled and said, "Eat as much as you want. If you can eat one thousand big talisman money, I'll give you the money at the original price."
Tong Zhi said, "One thousand big talisman money? Forget it. Even if I'm a talisman beast, I can't eat that much. " Ten big talisman money could be used to eat a good meal. One hundred big talisman money could be used to eat top-notch talisman food. How could one finish one thousand big talisman money?
The four of them laughed as they walked out of the shop. Guo Shier said, "Xiaoping, you're familiar with this place. Find a good restaurant."
Guo Shier was very satisfied. These sixteen talismans were enough to give away to people. There were also a few talismans that he could use himself. As long as he could endure for a dozen more days, he would be able to return to the secret realm of the sacrificial altar. Perhaps, he would be able to see Master Luo Jie. His mood was good. His speech became more polite. He talked and laughed along the way. This surprised Xie Xiaoping and Tong Zhi.
Guo Shier realized that these two were indeed the tyrants of this place. When the passersby saw these two, it was as if they had seen a ghost. They quickly hid away. He didn't know what wicked things these two had done to make the locals dislike them so much.
Star Lake Restaurant.
Guo Shier looked at the huge black board and asked, "Is this the best restaurant?"
Xie Xiaoping said, "Yes, this is the best restaurant in Foggy Rain Town! It's also the highest restaurant. "
Guo Shier said, "Star Lake Wine Tower is more like it. How is this a restaurant? It's a wooden tower!"
Star Lake Restaurant was about ten floors high. Each floor had wide wooden eaves. There were no wooden partitions, only a circle of fences. Therefore, people could see the activities on each floor from the bottom of the restaurant. This was a completely open layout. It was very unique. There were several waiters on each floor. One of them was in charge of delivering food. He used a hanging basket that went up and down along a slide. The design was very interesting.
As soon as Tong Zhi walked to the door, several waiters ran out. They bowed and greeted him with great hospitality. One of them said, "Master Tong, you're here. Please … please! Haha, Erzi, go and call the manager! Hey, isn't this Master Xie? Please, please, please! "
Xie Xiaoping raised his hand and threw out a large talisman money. He said, "Old rules, tenth floor!"
The waiter smiled and said, "Masters, please excuse me. The tenth floor has been booked by a group of guests. Haha, the ninth floor is still empty …"
Tong Zhi asked, "Who has booked the tenth floor?"
Without waiting for the waiter to answer, the manager of Star Lake Restaurant came out to greet them. Guo Shier couldn't help but laugh. This person turned out to be Xie Xiaoping's group. He was one of the three people who were riding on the street. He was also an inner court disciple.
Xie Xiaoping said with a smile, "Brother Guan, who is on the tenth floor? Why did they book our exclusive floor?" He then said to Guo Shier, "This is Guan Yuntao, the manager of Star Lake Restaurant. He is also an inner court disciple who came out to gain experience. Brother Guan, this is Martial Uncle Kumu's disciple, Guo Shier. He is a senior Great Talisman Master. He is our Martial Uncle. Haha. "
Guo Shier nodded. Guan Yuntao had actually seen Guo Shier before. Last time on the street, when Mo Nier made her move, there was a child standing beside her. He didn't expect him to be an inner court master.
Guan Yuntao was slightly surprised. Kumu was a famous fiend in the Chenxiao Sect. No one dared to provoke him. However, Kumu rarely walked around the inner court. He was either in the underground Talisman Making Hall, searching for materials in other places, or entering the secret realm to kill. Therefore, Kumu was very famous. Most disciples knew that there was such a master in the inner court.
"Haha, Martial Uncle, please go to the ninth floor."
The group went up the wooden stairs to the ninth floor. Amidst the chaos, Guan Yuntao forgot to answer who booked the tenth floor.
The ninth floor wasn't big. It was about a hundred square meters. There were four big tables in each corner. In the middle was a wooden staircase. The surroundings were empty. There were only wooden railings, bamboo curtains, and a few screens on the side.
Guo Shier came to the northwest corner. He could see the Star Lake not far away. Guo Shier didn't expect that there would be such a big lake in the mountains. He couldn't see the edge of it. The lake was rippling with blue waves. There were shadows of boats and a few white birds flying in the sky. A cool breeze blew, making people feel very comfortable.
The tables and chairs here were similar to those in his previous life. When Guo Shier saw some familiar tables and chairs, he felt very close. He pulled out a chair and sat down. He said with a smile, "Today I'm treating. Everyone can order whatever you want. Haha."
Guan Yuntao said, "Since you're in my territory, let me treat."
Guo Shier asked, "You really want to treat?"
Guan Yuntao said, "Of course … Martial Uncle rarely comes here. It's only right for you to treat us!"
Guo Shier said straightforwardly, "Alright. Old Xie, Old Tong, did you hear that? Old Guan wants to treat us. He's very sincere. I'll accept it. Does anyone have any objections? "
Old Xie? Old Tong? Old Guan?
The three didn't know what to say. They couldn't say that what Guo Shier said was wrong, but it felt awkward no matter how they heard it.
Guan Yuntao said a few words to the waiter and called out, "Everyone sit … right, what does Martial Uncle like to eat?"
"Symbol food! I want to eat symbol food. "
Tong Zhi was the first to call out. Xie Xiaoping nodded in agreement. "I want the best symbol food!"
Guo Shier said, "Yes, I have no objections. Uncle Falconer, what do you want to eat? "
Falconer said, "Meat! Lots of meat, fresh meat. Roasted or boiled … anything is fine. Also, just some noodles will do. I've been feeling very hungry recently. "
Guan Yuntao smiled. "This is the standard food of a large man. Good, it will definitely satisfy you." He really wasn't stingy. Plate after plate of symbol food was served. He also roasted large pieces of meat for Falconer. Moreover, it was braised meat with a strong taste. There was also a large copper pot of rice wine. After it was slightly heated, it was served in large bowls.
Guo Shier ate a few mouthfuls and couldn't help but praise. The cooking of symbol food was very good. It was not inferior to his craftsmanship. Although there weren't many varieties, it was very delicious.
They were the only table on the ninth floor. The other three tables were empty. Guo Shier drank the rice wine very slowly. There was no water added to the wine. It was pure rice wine and tasted very sweet. He didn't dare to drink a bowl in one gulp like Tong Zhi and the others. He sipped while listening to the three chatting.
Xie Xiaoping drank a large bowl of rice wine in one gulp. He wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. He said with a smile, "A few days ago, I heard that the people of the vassal state killed a low-level charm continent and captured many slaves. Unfortunately, time was limited. Before they could expand their gains, they were pushed out of that continent."
