Fang Yuan suppressed the memories in his mind.
He entered Golden Jade House.
This gambling den was considered high class, there were dozens of huge rocks in the hall, suppressing the scene. Behind the hall were small rooms with all sorts of rock dissecting Gu worms, satisfying the customers' hobby of personally dissecting rocks. Of course, experienced rock dissecting Gu Masters were also well-equipped.
It was not difficult for Fang Yuan to determine whether these rocks contained Gu worms.
After all, he was already a Gu Immortal, it was not hard for him to use immortal methods to find mortal Gu. Similarly, no matter how weak the Gu worms sealed in the rocks were, immortal methods could usually heal them.
Even if they could not be healed, don't forget, Fang Yuan was a refinement path quasi-great grandmaster. Thus, sweeping through all mortal rocks and mortal Gu was a piece of cake for Fang Yuan.
Of course, above mortal rocks, there were immortal rocks, or more accurately, immortal materials. After an Immortal Gu is sealed and hibernated, the immortal material with corresponding dao marks would gradually condense on the surface of the Gu worm. In order to gamble on this immortal material, most immortal methods would be ineffective.
Fang Yuan was about to use his methods to teach this unscrupulous merchant in Golden Jade House a lesson when he suddenly heard people arguing at the back of the hall.
"You are cheating!" The mermaid Xia Lin shouted in anger and shock.
"I am cheating? Hehe, why would I cheat? The information path Gu worm's contents are clear, even though you have paid back some, there is still a large amount left. " The person standing in front of the mermaid was also a merman, but his body was like a bear, there was a long scar on his face, his body was filled with killing intent.
"You, you, you!" Xia Lin pointed at this merman, her eyes were red: "You are shameless! You actually tampered with the contract, the loan I made with you only had ten percent interest. But now, you secretly increased it by sixty percent! "
The scarred merman's expression turned solemn, he looked at Xia Lin with a ruthless gaze: "You cannot say such things, young lady! You are trying to ruin our reputation, all businessmen care about our reputation. If our reputation is ruined, who would come to our shop? Can you bear the losses caused by this? "
"Pfft! Even if I die, I will expose the true face of your unscrupulous shop. "
The scarred merman's tone changed, he said eerily: "Die? So naive, sometimes, the feeling of wishing for death is more terrifying. "
A peculiar light flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes, this familiar voice reminded him of the mermaid girl he saved several months ago.
Why was she here?
Xia Lin's tears flowed down her face.
Several months ago, her only relative, her grandfather, had passed away.
Mermaid sea burial required a high price. In order to bury her grandfather at sea, she could only borrow primordial stones on credit. In order to repay the debt, she had no choice but to take the risk to collect the black oil and almost died in the Earth Trench black oil. Fortunately, he met Fang Yuan and the others, and was miraculously saved.
Xia Lin also obtained gather oil Gu from Fang Yuan, thus her oil extraction efficiency rose sharply and she quickly earned a large number of primeval stones from selling the oil.
She brought these primordial stones to the Golden Jade House to pay off the debt, but she didn't expect the shop to be so shameless as to tamper with the IOU.
A feeling of death rose in Xia Lin's heart.
Her only family member had passed away. In this world, she was all alone. She had been ostracized by her tribe since she was a child, and her life had changed drastically. Her heart was filled with confusion and discouragement. She felt that the world was pale, and she could not find any joy in living.
"What's so scary about death? Death is the end of everything! "
Thinking so, Xia Lin shouted and attacked.
Hua!
With a loud explosion, a torrent of water sprayed out.
The scarred merman did not expect such a situation to occur, a rank two Gu Master actually attacked him, a rank three Gu Master, in Golden Jade House's territory.
The scarred merman was caught unprepared and was swept away by the torrent. He flew backward and smashed into two walls and a large number of decorative bottles.
This commotion was too big, the Gu Masters who were quietly choosing, dissecting and gambling stones came to the hall one after another.
Many gazes landed on Xia Lin and the scarred merman.
"What happened?"
"Hehe, what else could it be? This Golden Jade House must have used some method to harm innocent people. "
"Quiet down, this Golden Jade House's owner is the local tyrant."
"I heard that Golden Jade House often gives out high-interest loans to exploit low level Gu Masters."
"It is better to avoid trouble, this is the merfolk's internal matter, it has nothing to do with us humans."
At this time, the scarred merman stood up from the rubble: "You have guts, you actually dared to attack me, I will make you wish you were dead!"
He approached Xia Lin. Xia Lin's expression was pale, she was intimidated by his aura but she bit her lips and did not retreat.
The distance between the two shrunk, just as the scarred merman was about to attack, a voice resounded: "Wait!"
The scarred merman stopped moving, the anger and malevolence on his face disappeared as he lowered his head towards the person who stopped him: "Shopkeeper, why are you here?"
It was the owner of Golden Jade House, a fat yellow scaled merman.
The yellow scaled merman frowned as he shouted at the scarred merman: "What are you doing? Are you trying to destroy my shop? "
"Shopkeeper, it's her …"
Before the scarred merman finished speaking, he was interrupted.
"How many times have I told you, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes." The scarred merman did not dare to retort, he quickly nodded like an obedient child.
A chill spread throughout Xia Lin's body.
She had been through a lot, she had lived with her grandfather since she was young, she had tasted the coldness of the world.
"Someone who can make the scarred merman lower his hands like this must be even more terrifying!" With such a clear understanding, Xia Lin looked at the yellow scaled merman's smiling expression, her wariness was raised to the limit.
The yellow scaled merman stared at Xia Lin for a while before speaking: "Little girl, don't worry, I am a reasonable person. With me around, I can ensure your safety, no one will touch you. But I want you to be reasonable too. The debt you owe is written in black and white, are you trying to deny it? "
At the mention of this, Xia Lin became furious: "You are shameless, changing the IOU, changing the interest from 10% to 60%. I do not owe you anything, I have already paid you back. "
The yellow scaled merman's smile became wider: "Little girl, I did not expect you to be so good at acting at such a young age. But it is useless! No matter how realistic your acting is, you can't prove anything with just words alone. On the other hand, our IOU is clear, it is clear who is right and who is wrong. "
"You, you, you!" Xia Lin pointed at the yellow scaled merman, she was so angry she could not speak.
The yellow scaled merman laughed and waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, little girl, I will not bully a junior like you, in case people say that my Golden Jade House is bullying my customers. How about this, pay me back half of the debt and I will let you go, all the debts will be written off. "
"I am already very sincere. Think about it, if you pay me back, you will only be paying thirty percent interest. This is the market outside. Which bank didn't charge this level of interest when they borrowed money? You said we agreed on ten percent interest? Who would believe it if he said it out loud? Go outside and look. Which bank only wants ten percent of the profit? "
Xia Lin's chest rose and fell, her eyes were red from anger.
Precisely because of the thirty percent interest in the market, Xia Lin borrowed from Golden Jade House back then. To think that this was a trap, she fell into the hands of this black shop.
Seeing that Xia Lin was silent, the yellow scaled merman took out an information path mortal Gu: "This is our agreement, if you pay me back now, I will return this agreement to you."
Xia Lin was slightly stunned before smiling coldly: "I do not have enough Yuan stone."
The yellow scaled merman laughed as he clapped: "No problem, if you do not have Yuan stone, you can use Gu worms to repay the debt. I know you have a gather oil Gu, use it to pay off your debt and this matter will be settled. "
Xia Lin heard this and came to a realization: "So this is your true motive, you want my gather oil Gu? Hmph, this is a rank five Gu, you are dreaming! Even if I die, I will not give this Gu to you. "
The surrounding Gu Masters heard this and went into an uproar.
"Gather oil Gu? Did I hear wrongly? "
"That rank five Gu that has been spreading like wildfire recently? I heard that it can be used to collect black oil with shocking efficiency! "
"Not just shocking, it is a top quality Gu. Even though gather oil Gu is rank five, it consumes the Gu Master's bone marrow instead of primeval essence, even rank one Gu Masters can use it! "
"I heard that not long ago, someone misused gather oil Gu and killed himself."
"Sigh, he abused it too much. With the help of bone path Gu worms, gather oil Gu is very safe! "
Clap clap clap.
The yellow scaled merman clapped: "Young lady, you are a smart person, you should understand the principle of possessing a precious item. A grand Rank five Gu, how can you, a Rank two Gu Master, protect it? Hand it over, I am not the one who is looking for trouble, others will. Hand it over and exchange for a safe future, isn't that good? "
"Oh no! Even if I die, I will not hand it over to a disgusting person like you. "Xia Lin was firm, she resisted to the end.
The yellow scaled merman felt a headache.
Stealing someone else's Gu Master was very difficult, Xia Lin only needed a thought to make the Gu worm self-destruct. By then, the yellow scaled merman's plan would fail.
The ideal situation would be for Xia Lin to hand it over.
Secondly, he could use theft path methods.
But theft path Gu Masters did not exist in this paradise, it was only a legend.
And even if there were theft path Gu Masters, it was too difficult to steal a rank five Gu worm!
The yellow scaled merman was not flustered, he had already planned for such a situation. At this time, he could not let Xia Lin push him too hard, thus, the yellow scaled merman decided to give in.
"How about this, I will give you a chance, you give me a chance too. Let's make a bet. "
"Bet?"
"Let's bet on rocks, on the Gu we open. Some wins over none, superior wins over inferior. Two wins out of three. "
Xia Lin sneered: "You despicable person, going back on your words and changing the agreement, how can I trust you?"
The yellow scaled merman thought about it, he waved his hand and tossed that information path mortal Gu to Xia Lin.
Xia Lin received it and was very surprised.
The yellow scaled merman added: "I can also make an oath to the Sea God."
Mermen were different from humans, they had their own beliefs, they believed in the Sea God. Making an oath in the name of the Sea God was very solemn, it showed great sincerity.
Almost no merman did not trust the Sea God.
The yellow scaled merman said with sincerity again: "What are you hesitating for? Gambling on rocks depends on judgment, but even more depends on luck. I will give you this chance, don't be ungrateful. I will tell you the truth, this is your only chance to leave today, you need to grasp it. "
The yellow scaled merman used both hard and soft tactics, Xia Lin was flustered.
Just as she was hesitating, she heard a voice resounding in her mind: "Don't be afraid, I am here, bet with him!"
"Master Chu!" At once, Xia Lin almost screamed in joy.
Fang Yuan continued: "But you need to change this bet, it is too small. If you trust me, let's make it big! "
"I trust you, master!" Xia Lin replied without hesitation.
Because her life was saved by Fang Yuan. If Fang Yuan wanted to harm her, he did not need to save her.
"My life was saved by Master Chu in the first place. If he wants to harm me, I will accept it, at most, I will return my life to him! "
Thinking of this, Xia Lin replied to Fang Yuan in her mind: "Master Chu, I will listen to whatever you say."
