Vol 3 Chapter 30: First encounter

"So, do you really have to make a Scout Bee again as she asked?"
At dusk, strolling on the Longcheen Avenue in Royo, Hodding asked Xiuyi with interest.
After finishing the day's arrangement, Hoddin and Xiu decided to go around the city of Royo. One is to observe the surrounding environment and become familiar with the local streets. The other is to relax and discuss the next steps.
At this moment, hearing about Hooding's question, Xiu Yi shrugged helplessly: "In fact, my second operation was a thorough ugly act. During my second production of the Scout Bee, I accidentally turned The softened liquid dripped on the table, wrapped the wire around his own hand, and even dropped the crystal ball on the ground and hit my instep. "
"It sounds embarrassing."
"Yes, it's really embarrassing. I made myself a clown, and our beautiful Mrs. Christine laughed non-stop. Even at noon, she was laughing on the way with me to Dodge Business. She also laughed while the vice chairman talked. "
Hording shook his head in admiration: "I must say, this is a very courageous choice. I guess everyone sees that scene, they will be surprised how you use to make your wife so happy."
"In fact, I didn't do it consciously at first." Xiu explained: "When alchemy became a show, I found that I couldn't focus on my work. And my requirements for efficiency made me distracted, so I I did make a mistake at first. But when I saw Christine laughing, I suddenly realized that it was a chance to get us closer. "
"That's right, in the eyes of Mrs. Christine, it is difficult to change your image of the devil. Although you can make her feel exciting and exciting, it is completely like watching the tiger in the cage and sleeping with the tiger. Two different concepts. "
"That's right. Once the impression can't be erased, then we can only add a new image. I realize that Christine has contacted many people, a handsome noble teenager, a gentle middle-aged gentleman, and she has seen too many Too many, she has even seen the killing demon, but she may not have seen the clown. Especially when a former demon performs emotions such as awkwardness, nervousness, and panic, it will greatly dilute her. The horrible memory that was fixed in my heart. "
"That's right, you can give a woman a stimulating feeling, but you can't make her scared. What you do is actually make her realize that you have a sense of humor in addition to being a horrible and serious person. You make She realized that no matter how fierce you are, you are still a child who will be nervous in front of beautiful women. "
"That's right, so when she thinks she can change and control me, she becomes very satisfied."
"Then ... then this woman's heart will be easily captured for you."
Xiu smiled: "It's a pleasure chatting with you."
After thinking about it, he said, "Anyway, Kristin and I have a successful start, and I find that occasionally playing a clown does help ease the atmosphere, relieve tension, and get closer."
"But don't overdo it, it will make her look down on you."
"The control of size is always a science."
"Awake is your greatest strength."
The two men talked and laughed at the same time.
Hoddin asked, "Well, how about the Dodgers?"
"The issue of instalments has not been discussed for the time being, but I have already hinted to commercial banks and those family representatives that the purchase amount of Liucheng Material is too large. The Dardanelle family is considering the necessity of this risk taking and reminding them to consider it. The issue of payment methods. Since the Dardanelles have not yet established any credit, they will be very hesitant. I think that's fine. Let them worry about credit. "
"Why?" Because Huey had revised his previous plan, Hodding didn't quite understand it in many ways.
Xiu smiled mysteriously: "Holding, what would you think if I brought you a duel?"
"I will refuse."
"why?"
"Because I can't be your opponent."
"So if you can win me? I mean, if you are just an ordinary boy who can't have the least magic and martial arts standing in front of you, will you still refuse?"
Hodding thought for a while, then shook his head: "Of course not."
"So if during the duel, you suddenly find out that this boy turned out to be Iglerian, when he is not a good soft fruit ..."
"Then I will be dead. B> 13800100ob>"
"Yes, that's the truth." Xiu Yi smiled badly: "The reason why I want to make those businessmen worry about our credit is because we must first create a hint on their psychology, suggesting that they put Focus on the reliability of the deal, not on whether to accept it. "
"Oh, I see." Hoddin immediately understood: "When all the merchants focus on the reliability of this transaction, they will ask you all kinds of difficulties. They will think you are not qualified at all Complete such a transaction. But in this way, they are automatically giving up the possibility of rejecting this transaction method. That is, when they suddenly find that you are qualified to engage in such a transaction, they can no longer choose ... I God, Xiuyi, you are so bad! "
Xiuyi laughed: "Yes, that's it. To know whether to make installment payments, I don't want to give them too many options. According to people's psychological performance, when people are in a certain transaction, The wider the choice, the lower the chance of closing the business. So let's not give them a chance to choose. "
"Yes, that's right. But as far as I know, installment payments face more than just credit."
"You're right, in a way, instalments are essentially a process where sellers lend to buyers, or venture capital investments in certain industries. Generally speaking, a complete The large amount of venture capital investment needs to be investigated in many aspects, including market, capital flow, credit, etc. Whether it is a loan or a venture capital, the seller is actually a risk bearer, and as a risk bearer, this kind of Careful investigation is actually necessary. As a counterfeit Dardanelle family, in fact we lack such preparations. I mean, we cannot afford this level of investigation. "
"Yes."
"So we need to divert their attention, just like the issue of not being able to choose whether to accept installment payments or not let them focus on other aspects. We need to let them focus on credit issues only."
"So what do you do?"
"It's very simple. We need an opponent. We need an opponent who is not good at us. He will try his best to attack us, accuse us, point out that we can't be trusted. This person is preferably a veteran who is older than the official battle. Such a veteran clearly understands that if you want to attack the opponent, do not attack all aspects of it, it is likely to distract your energy. Since you want to take a shot, you must attack the opponent's weakness. Then come to the Dardanelles Said, what is our weakness? "Xiu Yi asked Hoddin, and before the other party answered, he smiled:" It is not our past, but our present, that is to say the credit problem. "
Hording suddenly realized: "Yes. It is not known whether the Dardanelles were a family fishing wrecks at sea. In the city of Royo, no one knows it. If you put a lot of effort into confirming it, you may get a favorable result for your opponents. So Smart opponents will never do this, they will not be interested in probing your past, because right here, there is a ready-to-attack point in the city of Royo. That is, we have no name here, no credit That's right. So we need a certain opponent to focus on attacking the Dardanelles' credit in the city of Royo so that everyone can focus on this. "
"Yes, all we need is an opponent."
"So where do the opponents come from?"
"Do you still use us to find? Don't forget that our involvement in the materials market has the biggest impact on whom."
A short name popped into Hoddin's mind—Earl Brooks.
He grinned: "Shuegelaer, you are a criminal genius. It's a pity you don't want to be a liar. You know? You could easily take away millions of alchemy materials."
Xiu shrugged. "In that case, Christine is miserable. Anyway, this will be a successful start."
Hoddin's moustache fluttered: "That's right, think about it is really interesting, a group of wanted criminals are about to enter the upper class in the empire, while the lower-level hounds are still struggling."
"Life will never lack black humor," Xiu Yi booed. "By the way, is there any news from Raschel?"
"I only know that he has arrived in the city of Royo, but we don't know where he is or what he is doing."
"Then we need to be careful."
They talked as they walked, and unknowingly came to a pub door.
Xiu asked Hodding: "Are you interested in having a drink with me?"
Hoddin shook his head: "I prefer to drink on the aristocratic husbands with their full breasts. Most rude men in the tavern are not suitable for people like me."
Xiu shrugged. "I really like that environment."
"Then you go," Hodding said indifferently.
Xiu Yi walked towards the tavern, after which Hoddin suddenly called to him:
"Sisser!"
"For a hunter who is good at camouflage, walking in the thorny jungle and encountering a group of fierce wolves is not terrible. A sly fox is truly intimidating." Huoding told him with deep meaning Said.
Xiu Yi thought about it and nodded: "Yes, I understand, thank you for your reminder."
—The tavern has always been a good place for Xiuyi. There are so many people here, there are all kinds of people. He likes to sit in front of a long bar, call a glass of ale full of foam, taste it carefully, and then watch people yell loudly in the tavern, watch the real humanity release, observe the life and taste The taste of life. Try to find inner peace in this noisy environment.
There were not many people in the tavern, Xiu Yi came to the bartender in front of him> 13800100ob>, called a glass of ale, and then leaned himself on the bar.
A beautifully dressed woman came to Xiuyi and scratched his face with long nails: "Do you need someone?"
Xiu gave him a Kimvit: "Don't bother me."
The woman took the money and left.
Not far from Xiu Yi, there was a middle-aged man who was originally drinking with a head down. When he saw Xiu Yi coming, he observed the boy with interest.
"You shouldn't be so generous," the middle-aged man said suddenly.
Xiu Yi looked back at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had a two-shouldered moustache, his sunken eye sockets, a slightly curved hawk nose, and his confident and vulgar smile made Xiuyi a very smart and capable person.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Money is like a stinky feces that always attracts countless flies. Your shot is too generous, and there will never be a lack of killing and corpse for one or two King Witts." The middle-aged man laughed "Young man, you're asking yourself for trouble."
Xiu Yi nodded: "Yes, I understand. Thank you very much for reminding me. But I don't think there will be any big problems. I can give them all the money and close my eyes. I mean, face In times of danger, I can take a cooperative rather than a confrontational attitude. "
"Well said, it looks like you have a wealth of dangerous survival experiences."
This sentence made Xi a bit harsh, and he shook his head: "No, it ’s just the teaching from the family. My family teaches me that life is more meaningful than money. Do n’t try to waste your life for nothing. Lost. "
The middle-aged man laughed and laughed: "So it is, but young people like you who have tutors generally don't come to such chaotic places. High-class aristocrats will never lack entertainment. Why go to such a place to hang out? "
"Just wanting to see the real world, you know that the upper circle is always full of hypocrisy, everyone is wearing a mask and talking to others. I have had that experience, even though I am a lie Master, but in fact if I can, I would rather sit here and watch people loudly vent their dissatisfaction and scream at their arrogance. At least that's the true emotional expression. "
"So it is ..." the middle-aged man muttered. "I have rarely heard such words from aristocratic teenagers, and would like to run to such places just to hear people say drunk and go crazy. It's interesting that you remind me of an old friend of mine."
The middle-aged man left the seat and moved his chair to Xiuyi. He seemed to be chatting. He sat next to Xiuyi: "Can you buy me a drink? I mean, your generosity was just now. Bringing you trouble, and I can guarantee that you have no trouble walking out of this place. I guess you don't want to be walked out.
The middle-aged man sounds like an authentic hoodlum hooligan, and is now striving for his own benefits.
Xiu's brow frowned slightly, he wanted to say that he didn't care about the problem, but didn't know why, there was a sudden alertness in his heart. He felt that the other person's speech seemed to have a special meaning. If he did not deal with it carefully, he might face some bad consequences.
Such vigilance was not born in nature, but was spontaneously cultivated in the adventures of intrigue, and they could even feel the existence of a potential crisis before the master's.
Xiuyi didn't know what went wrong, but he still felt that this middle-aged man was a little strange.
He seemed interested in himself, a little too passionate, but his words were full of weirdness.
So he frowned and said, "This is really amazing. I think I'd better leave early."
He decided to leave the tavern immediately.
"Hey, don't go." The middle-aged man grabbed Xiuyi's shoulder.
His hands were steady and strong, but he still had a hint of fighting energy.
Completely out of self-protection instinct, the fighting spirit in Xiuyi's body spontaneously stirred up under the influence of external forces, and bounced the middle-aged man's hand from Xiuyi's arm.
The middle-aged man passed a stun in his eyes and quickly retracted his hand.
"I'm sorry," he said with a smile. "I didn't expect you to be a samurai, and it looks like you don't have to care too much about the gangsters here."
Xiu's face was calm.
The fighting energy used by the middle-aged man just now when touching himself is very clever, and it can just inspire
Your own instinct to react without hurting yourself.
Is this a coincidence? But intentional temptation?
Xiu Yi could not be determined.
He slowly said: "I did cultivate some samurai fighting spirit, but that does not mean that I have the courage to fight desperately. In fact, my ability is very low, and my teacher once told me that in In the face of the true test of life and courage, courage is the best guarantee for exerting ability. Those who lack courage have no strength and can't defeat the dead. "
Then he sat back to his position and said to the middle-aged humane: "But maybe I should accept your opinion, please have a drink and accept your protection. Then I can have a pleasant evening."
Said, Xiuyi waited for the middle-aged person to answer, and then said to the bartender, "Here is a glass of ale, a large glass."
Ale was served quickly.
Xiu Yi gave ale to middle-aged people: "I hope you like it."
When he was drinking, he didn't know why, Xiu Yi's feet suddenly slipped, and the whole body lost its focus and fell to the middle-aged man.
A large glass of ale was poured all over the middle-aged man.
"Oh! I'm sorry!" Xiu called.
The middle-aged man was spilled with ale and was soaked, which made him a little annoyed: "Hell!"
Xiuyi scrambled to help the middle-aged people clean their clothes: "Oh my God, look at your clothes are soaked. Take it off quickly, or you will get sick." Xiuyi could not help but say, tore off the middle-aged man's coat .
In the process of tearing, Xiu Yi may be too excited and upset to turn over the middle-aged's clothes. During the busy process, a middle-aged man's coat pocket popped out of a small book. Xiu quickly stepped forward to pick up the book, but just glanced at it, and saw that it read: Governor of the Imperial Law Office, Jason Raschel, Commander of the Hunting Operation. !! ~!
