Chapter 364 Humor Talent and Creativity
We can find from many details that Mo Tan and the Rice brothers have known each other for a long time, outside the game...
In fact, they are not only We know each other, and have a considerable degree of friendship. It is a relationship similar to a partner, but fundamentally different from the former. In other words, it can also be understood as a subtle friendship that is more than a stranger, but not a bad friend. .
The two parties met in a small commodity market in City B a few years ago. The Rice brothers had a small store there, which was about the same size as the [Weird and Weird] store they are now in. The main products were magic props. By the way, they also sell some computer accessories, game software, snacks and other things, and even provide storage devices filled with small movies.
Their business doesn’t look very good. Although it’s not that no one cares about it, it’s definitely not popular. It’s completely normal for not many customers to come to the door for a whole day, but until today many years later , the Rice brothers’ [bizarre] still stands in that humble little place. In the commodity market, it can be seen that the store is not as deserted as it appears, or that the twin brothers, who are suspected of being mentally ill, have other ways to make money. After all, the rent level in City B... everyone knows it, although not yet. It reaches the ceiling level, but it is definitely not low...
It was no accident that Mo Tan was able to find [Strange and Weird]. He was introduced to it by a second-hand dealer who did not want to reveal his name because he wanted to save a computer but did not have the appropriate parts. To put it more carefully, he did not have the parts. The quality is excellent, but the price is about the same as getting it for free.
So I was introduced to Brother Rice by an acquaintance. In the words of the second-hand dealer, a certain pair of twins were definitely not qualified plunderers, but considering Mo Tan’s extremely bad character (limited to chaotic neutrality) , maybe you can get something good from them at a relatively cheap price.
When he first heard this sentence, Mo Tan thought that the other party believed in his bargaining ability. After all, when he was still in his youth, he had already created a huge business near where he stayed. Reputation, especially for those owners of roadside stalls in vegetable markets, who would not dare to call him "Brother Xiao Kun" when they see him?
But when he really went through all the troubles (actually the place was not far from Mo Tan's house, and the geographical location was not complicated, but it was not simple enough to prevent Mo Tan from getting lost) he met the Rice brothers. Only then did I realize that the second-hand dealer didn't mean to get an advantage by going there, but that he and the two guys had a similar rapport.
He first chatted with Ferry for a while as an ordinary customer, and then as a magic enthusiast with some spare money, he asked Joe to perform a few magic tricks on the spot, saying that he wanted to see the actual magic after seeing it. After the operation, I selectively purchased some supplies for beginners, and induced the other party to make a promise of 'if you see through any magic trick, I will give you props for free', and finally...
He helped the twins clear two counters.
At that time, the situation was still under his control... until Brother Rice, who was still very interested in giving away several large bags of goods for free, took out a raw egg, and then broke it with his bare hands in front of Mo Tan. The thing smacked into an omelette.
After personally tasting and eating a piece of CPU from it, Mo Tan, who was under the chaotic neutral personality, was stunned for a rare moment. Then he put the computer behind him and turned to' He became interested in real magic and tried to trade with the goods he had obtained before. Unexpectedly, the Rice brothers had no intention of explaining at all. Instead, they generously gave those low-level magic props to Mo Tan and followed him. Let’s talk about business.
Yes, down to business, they knew from the beginning that Mo Tan was here to buy computer accessories. The CPU in the omelette was the product prepared by the two brothers, and the price was... three yuan and fifty-eight cents.
“Well, if you have to ask why, it’s because it was soaked in fried eggs.”
This was the explanation given by Ferry at the time, and Mo Tan, the conscience-stricken person who had passively changed his personality, was forcibly asked to leave the shop because he wanted to pay for the two bags of magic props.
Half a month later, Mo Tan, who assembled a prototype machine with that CPU as the core, came to [Weird and Weird] again, and expressed with a wonderful expression that he wanted to buy accessories with the same specifications, and this The quote he got the first time was an astronomical figure, at least for a person of his age, it was a very, very astronomical figure.
“Don’t be too expensive, after all, a slightly advanced processor won’t cause any trouble, but if you want to use the same quality accessories to build a complete machine, it’s a completely different matter, little brother~”
At that time, Ferri just patted the big box filled with equipment in front of him. , said with a smile: "So the discount this time will be a few decimal points less."
Mo Tan turned and left without saying anything. This result was not beyond the twins' expectations, and they did not expect it. What happened was that the other party came back the next day...
"This is money."
Mo Tan, who was barely a young lady, showed a sly smile, gently placed a card on the counter, and then carried it under the dumbfounded gaze of the two brothers. Accessories intended to be sold to normal people were gone.
One month later
When Mo Tan visited for the third time, Brother Rice had completely determined that the boy in front of him was not an ordinary person, or that although he was ordinary, he was special. is not human.
“Oh, you want to know where that money came from?”
While peeling the apples he brought, Mo Tan lazily leaned against the counter and said casually: "Actually, it's nothing. I just used all my savings to buy some cosmetics and bought a good quality one from the Internet. I used a voice changer, and then used some special means to get a married lolita with an annual salary of more than seven figures to reluctantly act as my guarantor, and successfully obtained a loan shark, and that was it.”
The two brothers laughed dryly at the same time and asked in unison: "And then?"
"Then? Then I used the money to buy parts from you."
Mo Tan Taking a bite of the apple, he said vaguely: "I have to say that the things you have here are really interesting. I used my newly saved computer to hack into a certain drug-related organization, and used their boss's account to take the money with me." The profit was given to those who engaged in loan sharking, and by the way, it also made a small-scale exposure. Well, this matter was broadcast during the rule of law last week. I heard that the sentence was not light. Hey, what a good person... …"
[This guy bought the accessories from us with a loan, and then used the installed computer to hack into the black account of a criminal organization to 'pay back the money', and finally made a lot of money to those people. Are you going to jail? ! 】
The expressions of Brother Rice at that time were as wonderful as they were...
"Okay, I have answered your questions, so now it's time for me to ask."
Xiao Motan threw the apple core into the trash can and smiled at the twins: "Three questions. First of all, I'm curious about why the accessories you sold me before were so advanced. It's not ordinary advanced, but It’s so advanced that it can trigger a war. Secondly, I haven’t figured out the magic trick about fried eggs until now. I hope you can tell me the secret. Thirdly, I found that our store has some specialties every month. Strange amounts of money come in from all over the world, but I, who have enough knowledge and use extremely advanced equipment, cannot trace it back to its source. This thing also makes me very curious. Oh, by the way, you can ask any one of these three questions. Just answer, I know how to be satisfied~"
Two questions, one threat.
The expressions of the twins suddenly became more exciting, but they did not break out as Mo Tan expected. Instead, they laughed happily after being silent for a few seconds.
"We are willing to answer your third question~"
Qiao shook his head like a rattle and bowed with a smile.
“And we can play a game.” Ferry suggested immediately, then grabbed an egg out of thin air, knocked it skillfully on the corner of the table, and pulled it out. An ostrich chick whose eyes haven't opened yet... That's right, eggs and ostrich chicks...
Mo Tan looked at the ostrich chick lying on the ground with burning eyes. With the cub in his hand, he asked with great interest: "What game?"
Joe, who seemed to have a connection with Ferry, poked the little ostrich and grinned: "It's very simple, when will you wait?" If you can guess how this magic works, we will answer your first question unconditionally. "But before you guess it..."
Feli knocked on the counter and smiled: "You can't take the initiative to expose the problems with your computer, it's that simple."
Mo Tan nodded without thinking: "No. Question."
"OK, now it's question and answer time." Fei Li stretched out his fist and punched Mo lightly. With Tan's shoulder, he looked around at the various products around him and laughed softly: "You may have guessed that this store actually doesn't have much income. The money you mentioned before is our real economy. Source~"
Qiao smiled and said: "Tricky products are our main business~"
"That's right, exciting, thrilling, and maybe a little bit dangerous tricky products!"
"For example, this little devil looks like just an ordinary chewing gum, but it can make people constipated for more than thirty hours~ ”
“For example, this watch is just an ordinary watch on the surface, but after turning on the switch, it can turn on all electronic watches within a radius of two meters. Turn into a small device with 0.5 times speed, which can allow your friends or anyone to miss many important events, such as weddings, meetings or check-ins~"
"This kind of product did not have a high-end market many years ago. ..."
"But now there are more and more people who have money and a sense of humor..."
"Of course it may be that people with a sense of humor are slowly becoming rich~"
"So a sense of humor is a valuable asset. If you add a little talent and creativity, it will become More wealth.”
The twins finished the explanation in unison, waving the two products they just introduced.
Mo Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his index finger and gently scratched his chin. After a while, he laughed in a low voice: "You have more for the 'high-end market' If the quantity is not enough, I have thought of a lot of interesting ideas..."
Ferri/Qiao: "?"
...
In the next few years, Mo Tan, who has a chaotic neutral personality, has become a frequent visitor to [weird things]. In addition to updating the hardware of his computer (such as the micro matrix system), They never tire of discussing those extremely deceptive products with the twins, both of whom are both With humor, talent and creativity, he can often bring a lot of inspiration to the Rice brothers, and the latter will accordingly allocate some shares to him from the products that Mo Tan focuses on. This is not a small sum. But most of it was used to update his computer hardware, so it was difficult to effectively turn it into savings.
In order to protect his mental state, Mo Tan will basically not appear in front of the two brothers under the conditions of 'absolute neutrality' and 'lawful good' personality. He feels that the two human spirits are very likely to see through him. problems.
As for the 'game' proposed by the Rice brothers, Mo Tan never guessed the answer, and he followed the rules and did not take the initiative to tell anyone how weird his computer was, including Yi Dong. Inside.
As for Futaba, she didn't know that the 'BLACK' she had been confronting actually only had a laptop. In fact, the girl originally thought that the other party had much more powerful hardware than her. Although this There is no problem with the conclusion, but her direction is wrong...
All in all, Mo Tan and the Rice brothers have maintained a good tacit understanding and relationship until today.
In fact, a few years ago, he had some guesses about the twins' 'real magic', but Mo Tan never revealed his guess.
Although most of the time, when facing the Rice brothers with a 'chaotic neutral' personality, he can be regarded as an out-and-out lunatic, but Mo Tan is not ready yet... …
Or it can be said that he is still content with his life and can find enough fun.
So he didn’t say anything, and he didn’t make any more guesses. He found more pleasure through the realm of innocence, and he didn’t even go to [Weird and Weird] during this time.
As a result...
He didn't go, but unexpectedly, the two brothers followed the trend and started playing in the world of innocence, and even continued to do business here and even opened a branch!
Let time return to the present...
"Tell the truth~"
Mo Tan picked up a piece of hungry dragon candy and squeezed the little green dragon hard His eyeballs squeezed out, and he said leisurely: "I think the atmosphere here is more suitable for you two than studying those things in reality. Well, both the creativity and workmanship are much more refined, and it feels like you have escaped. Like some kind of bondage~"
"Of course, there are so many magical materials in reality." Ferry whistled and put his hand into the [little crocodile money bag] next to him. With a click, his wrist was tightly Bite.
Qiao pointed to the pair of boots next to him that were doing radio gymnastics crazily: "Look, this is the power of magic, I love magic!"
"Don't interrupt..."< br>
Mo Tan frowned mouth, and asked meaningfully: "First of all, please explain how you two teleported here from that ghost place in Anka Market. My old friend saw you!"
