Chapter 32 The enemy doesn't move, I don't move
The regular transaction agreement with travel merchants allowed Zhu Jue to get a relatively stable way to find treasure when he first entered the dreamland. Although he had to pay some price, for people like them, time is money!
At the end of the transaction, the time for the traveler to trade with a regular customer caught Zhu Jue's attention.
Although the subsequent inquiry did not allow him to ask more content from Brown, the "three years" he mentioned before was undoubtedly a very critical message.
Zhu Jue has seen a clear explanation of the number of trips and time in the contract signed with the gentleman.
Normally, once a month, each time is three days. According to the gentleman, it is because their behavior of traveling to other worlds harms themselves, so it cannot be too frequent. Moreover, when they enter the dream world, it is naturally impossible for someone to replace them in the real world.
Three days is a relatively appropriate time to disappear. If only three days disappear, no one will doubt anything. If the number of times disappears and the time to disappear is too long, it is difficult to guarantee that the people around you will not be suspected. After all, not everyone lives completely alone like Zhu Jue.
Not to mention that even Zhu Jue has friends, such as Olivi came to the door suddenly yesterday, which are unpredictable things.
According to the gentleman's introduction, the Black Swan has experienced 5 trips. Since it is once a month, even if the Black Swan first entered the dream, she took the line of travel merchants. The transaction time between her and Brown is at most five months.
How did the remaining two years and seven months come about?
It was the first time Brown saw himself, and there was no reason to be clever in such things, and it was even more impossible to predict in advance that he and the Black Swan knew each other.
That's how the problem lies with the black swan.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Jue immediately thought of the situation when he first met other people in the gentleman team in the house. Compared to the rhino and ak's favor, the Black Swan's attitude towards the gentleman was obviously different.
What I have to say...it is a bit similar to myself!
Zhu Jue, who left the market, walked on the roadside, thinking about new problems, and found a tailor shop that looked pretty good on the storefront.
No matter how you think, you still can’t stop what you should do.
While there was still some time, he was about to change his outfit.
"Sir, can anyone help you?"
The tailor asked strangely when he looked at the guest in front of him who had frowned since entering the door, who seemed to be thinking about something.
"I want to buy a set of finished clothes that can be worn now, so I need to be looser. I don't like restraint..."
Relying on the counter, Zhu Jue opened his arms and let the store manager take a ruler to gesture, his eyes falling on the noisy street outside the window.
The golden sunlight passed through the hollow carvings on the window guard and fell on the floor of the store, with some dust floating in it.
Even though the store manager had measured the size, Zhu Jue still stretched out his hand. Although he knew he could put his hand down, it would still distract him.
There are only two possibilities for this extra two years and nine months:
First, the Black Swan concealed her past experience from the gentleman. In fact, she had come to the fantasy dream long ago and made some discoveries here. She is very strong, but she did not tell the gentleman about this fact.
According to the gentleman's rules, if you cannot sense your mental power after traveling three times, you will be abandoned unless you take out something that can impress him.
The attitude shown by the Black Swan proves that this is obviously impossible for her to be the case.
Second, the gentleman knew that the black swan had actually had three years of experience in Fantasy Dreamland, so he deliberately concealed it from them... Why should he hide it?
"This is a bit strange..."
Zhu Jue whispered to himself.
"Sir, what did you say?"
The tailor, who had just brought a set of clothes from the side of the ordinary people, thought he was talking to him.
"It's nothing, I'm just talking to myself. What time is it now?"
Taking the clothes over, Zhu Jue looked up and asked.
......
The second floor of the house somewhere in Neil City.
Unlike the crude houses outside, the decoration here is undoubtedly much more refined, and there is even a cabinet specially placed on the inside of the room.
A small and low table with white square corner tablecloths is placed near the window, with people sitting on both sides.
The exquisite pastries are served in two-layer silver plates. On the left is a cup of coffee that is still steaming with hot steam, and on the right is a wooden wine glass. You can vaguely see the lilac wine rippling in it.
The conversation has lasted for half an hour.
"Are there any good products lately?"
The person on the right is exposed to the sunlight, and the muscle mass is clearly distinguished in the open collar.
His legs were placed on the window frames and adjusted to a more comfortable position from time to time.
"Even crops in the field need to grow. It has only been half a year since the last harvest. Now is the time for crops to grow... The harvest of this batch seems a bit average, and I plan to add more seeds in the near future."
The gentleman seemed not to care about the behavior of the person beside him, but just rubbed a bird-shaped pattern at the top of his cane.
"Then why did you come to me? I'm very busy and don't have time to waste time with you. Besides, our relationship is not as good as we can eat on the same table."
With some impatient words, they were never able to sit down and chat peacefully.
"There is a reason to find you. I recently met a very good seedling. Believe it or not, his talent is undoubtedly stronger than that of the black swan... and even more than me. Mr. Wild Boar died at his hands."
He took a pastry and put it in his mouth. The gentleman thought for a while and then said,
"But that gentleman is really disrespectful to me. Someone must let him know that the world is far wider than he thought. Only in this way can he use it for me to gain more powerful strength."
"So, you want me to make him? I don't care. As long as you bid, I won't miss any live offering."
It has always been like this to use money to do business.
"No, he is a talented person. I need such a person in my team, so this is just a small lesson. If you defeat him, it is better to destroy one of his hands, or maybe cut off half of his feet, don't cut them all, just barely walk... In short, on the first trip, I need him to get nothing."
A gentleman has never been a slow person. He can feel Zhu Jue's distrust or even disrespect for him. If it were a rhino or ak, he would have eliminated people like him by himself, but Zhu Jue is undoubtedly special.
To a certain extent, the gentleman is like a calculating businessman. He just gave out the gift bag and signed a contract different from others. He wanted to turn these things into profits. Now he spent money to cut off this crop of extremely high quality, which was slapping himself in the face. All he wanted to do was to prune the crop.
"Hahaha~ I'm worried about that guy who says something like you like to break a broken leg with a broken leg... Half an arm and a lame leg, just like that."
The man grabbed the wine glass and drank the wine in it. He then turned around and walked towards the door, raised his hand and held the door handle. He seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned his head and said,
"For the sake of our long-term understanding, I have to remind you that some things are not something you can keep as you want, just like your life, it is far less safe than you think."
The palms holding bird patterns suddenly tightened, and the gentleman just chewed the pastry, his eyes fell outside the window, surrounded by unknown vines.
"I always knew that it was not just Mr. Wind Chime who needed pruning..."
Listening to the sound of the door closing, his eyes were cold with his back to the door.
The park in the east of Neil City is not far from here.
The sunlight at noon this season is already quite hot, so there are basically no tourists at this time. It is empty, with only some flowers and plants swinging with the hot wind.
The man walked into the park along the winding path. The gentleman told him that the other party would appear nearby at around 12 o'clock, took out his pocket watch and glanced at: 11:30.
Just as he was about to find a shaded place around because he came early, his eyes involuntarily glanced at the largest oak tree nearby.
There was a homeless man with a half-exposed belly lying there, holding a thorn-looking trowel in his arms, occasionally pouring a few mouthfuls into his mouth, covering his face with a banana leaf that he had broken from somewhere, and a cat with gray fur churned back and forth on the grass beside him, sometimes plucking the bark, and sometimes gnawing at the wild flowers beside the tree.
"Get out! I want your position."
I leaned forward and found that this article was really cool, and the man threw down a copper coin directly.
"I want to send me a copper coin, it seems you have never heard of Tony Stark's name..."
The man on the ground stretched out his two fingers and dug two holes in the banana leaf, revealing a pair of black eyes, and turned around and secretly observed the people beside him.
"It's interesting. I'm in a pretty good mood today, take it."
The man was generous when he threw down another silver coin.
"You can also get 1 gold coin, but you're not that good at seeing your identity."
Zhu Jue still couldn't get up, just lay on the ground and looked at him.
"Haha, you dare to ask for 1 gold coin when you speak. You probably aren't an ordinary person, right?"
The two of them stood and the other lay down.
This scene is probably a duel with martial arts masters.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move; if the enemy moves, I will move blindly.
Both sides were brewing momentum, and the man's eyes were fixed on the person lying on the ground, condescendingly, and he had already taken the initiative!
Puff~
At some point, the sound of flesh and blood breaking out sounded.
The sharp claws pierced the throat and then pulled them out. Feng Ling shook his claws with disgust and ran to the pool next to him.
"Are you stupid? If I don't move, you won't move... I have a helper!"
Zhu Jue thought secretly that the guy in front of him probably had watched a lot of martial arts movies.
Chapter completed!
