Chapter 248 I won’t open the business
The records officer of Rhodes Town, Ji Xiaoyan doesn’t know what his name is! I asked Brick secretly and got the same answer! It is said that almost every time Old Man Robert calls him, he always calls him by his official title—Books Officer, or by “you” or something like that. So Ji Xiaoyan stared at this uncle-like Classics Officer for a long time, and finally had to say: "Master Classics Officer, what are you doing here?"
According to Ji Xiaoyan's opinion, this person After cheating her so deeply, it would take three to five months for the archivist and old man Robert to show up in front of her! But why did he come to her door so shamelessly in just a few minutes? And she also brought Uncle Al with her. It seemed that she was afraid that she would get angry or kick her out directly, so she asked Uncle Al to shield her.
"Haha, that's what Al just said, I want to ask Xiaoyan when are you going to open the business!" The Master Classics Officer looked at Ji Xiaoyan with a gentle smile, and then said.
"Is it open?" Ji Xiaoyan raised his eyes and stared at the Master of Classics with a slightly sharp look. He paused for a few seconds and then said: "Why does the Master of Classics care so much about our small shop?" What about the opening? Does this opening still need to be reported?”
"That's not necessary! I just want to know the exact time, so that Consul Robert and I can come and congratulate you!" The book official didn't seem to care at all about Ji Xiaoyan's somewhat hateful expression, and remained unchanged. said.
Congratulations? Are you still embarrassed to come? Ji Xiaoyan glared at the registrant, thought for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I won't bother you and Archon Robert with this."
"No trouble, no trouble! Here we go. We must come when the time comes!" The bookkeeper continued to laugh.
So Ji Xiaoyan stopped laughing.
Looking at the eager and concerned look of the bookkeeper, Ji Xiaoyan suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why does the bookkeeper care so much about Brick's store opening time? And it looks like it was the old man Robert who ordered him to come! What's so fishy about this? Are all NPCs nowadays so smart and scheming?
After staring at the Master of Classics with an expressionless face for a long time, Ji Xiaoyan suddenly smiled.
"Lord Registrar, I think it’s better not to trouble you and Lord Archon Robert. Our small shop will not open for business. Anyway, we won’t get much money! We usually let Brick in Just do your experiments with peace of mind here!" Ji Xiaoyan said with a smile on his face.
"Huh? Not open? How can that be done!" The books official suddenly became anxious.
"Xiaoyan, if this store doesn't open, how will you make money?" Uncle Al looked at Ji Xiaoyan with concern and asked, "Every time Brick used to do experiments, It costs a lot of money!”
“It’s okay, I don’t need the money!” Ji Xiaoyan continued to laugh, but his eyes were always on the book official!
"Yes, Xiaoyan, Al is right! Brick's future experiments will cost too much. If you don't open a store to sell some things, the gold coins will definitely not be enough! Moreover, just rely on The money you make when you go on adventures with adventurers is definitely not enough. It would be better to open a shop! The things you make can be exchanged for gold coins, which can also support Brick's experiments!" The book officer looked at Ji eagerly! Xiao Yan advised.
"Yes! What the registrant said seems to make sense!" Ji Xiaoyan deliberately pretended to be thoughtful and looked at the registrant.
So, the registrant seemed to be relieved, and then he quickly looked at Brick and began to persuade him: "Brick, am I right? You can't bear to let a small talk take the lead. Take risks to kill monsters, and then earn money so that you can immerse yourself in making things at home. Right? You also want to help Xiaoyan reduce his burden, right?"
Brick looked at Ji Xiaoyan, then at the bookkeeper, and then said, "I will do whatever Xiaoyan wants me to do. What to do!" Ji Xiaoyan said, just listen to her! Although he also felt that the Master of Classics was right. However, since Xiaoyan said it won’t open, then let’s not open it! Anyway, the potions he made some time ago are not sold in the store. He can just go to the fallen leaves to sell them! It doesn't matter to him whether he opens a store or not!
As a result, the classics officials were suffocated.
This is the Brick sent out, the water thrown out! Thinking back to the beginning, this kid just did whatever they said! Why did you stop listening to them after following this girl Ji Xiaoyan for a while? Is this the male transformation?
"Okay, if there is nothing wrong with the collector, we will not accompany you!" Ji Xiaoyan looked at the dull look of the collector, and his mood suddenly improved a lot, and then he spoke Expelled people.
"Xiaoyan, you have to think more about it. If you don't open the business, you will have invested your gold coins and you won't be able to get them back!" The Classics Officer looked at Ji Xiaoyan longingly, with an eager look on his face. The ground advised.
"No, I don't have too much money, but I still have a few hundred gold coins! Don't worry about it, Lord Registrar! You and Lord Archon Robert still have so much every day We are busy with official duties, so we might as well not take our little things to heart! We will feel very sorry for ourselves!" Ji Xiaoyan continued to laugh. Although she didn't know why the Master of Books wanted Brick's alchemy shop to open so much, she would be happy as long as she didn't follow his wishes. "Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan, think about it again!" The Master of Classics still doesn't give up!
"Haha, Lord Registrar, don't think about it! Since Lord Archon Robert has returned this shop to Brick for 'free', I don't have any other ideas!" Ji Xiaoyan said With a very fake smile, he emphasized the word "free", then stared at the book official and said.
So, the Master of Classics just opened his mouth and stopped talking. He heard the meaning behind Ji Xiaoyan's words. That is, Ji Xiaoyan is really resentful of Lord Archon Robert for exchanging all her interests for Brick's store, and he hasn't made it clear to her in advance. It seemed that things really couldn't go as Consul Robert thought. Ji Xiaoyan would forget about this matter in the future.
The Master of Classics looked at the bright fake smile on Ji Xiaoyan's face, sighed, and left silently.
"Xiaoyan, aren't you afraid of offending the registrant?" Although Uncle Al didn't know what happened between Ji Xiaoyan and the registrant, it was not difficult to tell that Ji Xiaoyan was very unhappy with him. .
"What are you afraid of?" Ji Xiaoyan let out a depressed breath, and then said to Uncle Al: "I was tricked by him and Archon Robert. Why don't I give them a little face? ! ”
"Did they trick you?" Uncle Al looked at Ji Xiaoyan in confusion.
"Uncle Al, you are also involved in this matter!" Ji Xiaoyan stared at Uncle Al, raised his eyebrows, and then said.
"No way! Xiaoyan, uncle, I won't harm you!" Uncle Al panicked immediately and quickly defended.
"Not long ago, the records officer asked you to tell us that Brick's shop will be returned to us for free! Uncle Al, you won't forget it, right?" Ji Xiaoyan looked at it with a sinister smile. Uncle Al said.
“Remember! Didn’t you already give the store to Brick?” Uncle Al was even more puzzled. After telling Ji Xiaoyan and the others the contents of the piece of paper given to him by the Classics Officer, he continued to wander on the street. He originally thought of going back to the shop to continue doing business, but who knew that he ended up wandering around the town for a long time? , lost again. Finally, he was met by the collector again, and he said that Brick and Ji Xiaoyan had returned to the shop, and asked him if he wanted to come over to help clean up. Later, he came with the collector. As for what happened when Ji Xiaoyan and Brick went to the executive office, he had no idea!
"Yes!" Ji Xiaoyan said with gritted teeth, "But Archon Robert took back many of my things. He also ate my share of the income we robbed! Ai! Uncle Er, tell me, why are they trying to trick me?"
"Um...Xiaoyan...don't you understand the character of the consul?" Uncle Al said, "Why?" , looked at Ji Xiaoyan with a stiff smile and said. It is estimated that not a single aboriginal in the entire Rhodes Town knows what kind of character Governor Robert is! Poor Xiaoyan, he was tricked just like that.
"Huh, forget it! The store has changed anyway, so I won't say anything anymore!" Ji Xiaoyan sighed, then looked at Uncle Al with a smile and continued: "But, they If they want us to open for business, I won’t open for business! Let’s see what they have planned!”
“Haha, it’s up to you!” Uncle Al could only smile and said to Ji Xiaoyan. . It seems that Consul Robert really pissed off this girl Ji Xiaoyan. I don’t know who will win in the end between the two of them? Should he go back and find someone else to open a gambling game and make some pocket money by placing some bets?
Uncle Al looked at Ji Xiaoyan who turned around and entered the shop, then looked in the direction of the executive hall, thought for a while and then smiled.
A few hours later, Road Town was in the news.
A gambling game suddenly appeared in the leather goods shop in Rhodes Town. According to informed players, only the NPCs know the specific content of the gambling game. The players only know that this gambling game allows two bets. , one pays five to one, the Lord Archon of Rhodes Town wins; the other is the anonymous bet, pays ten to one! This bet was originally only for NPCs, but then a player went to the leather goods store to buy mission props, and happened to meet an NPC going to the leather goods store owner Al to place a bet, and he overheard. Then this player relentlessly demanded that he also participate in the game! So much so that he pestered him in the fur shop for a long time and attracted more players to make trouble with him. Only then did Al, the owner of the fur shop, agree that players could also place bets!
So, the bet between the first player and the NPC in the game appeared. As for the anonymous person who was bet, he was lying on a chair leisurely drinking Brick's newly made potion!
PS: Thanks to "Empress Shiji" for the reward! Tears in my eyes
