Yang Zhen finally came to the stone space again. Regardless of his excitement, he quickly looked in the direction of Xiaocao and was suddenly shocked.
The grass is still standing there, but it has lost its luster and its color has turned into light green, like...
It's like being dehydrated and your body is wilting.
Looking around again, the water in the pit has dried up, and the two spiritual stones that were left in the space are gone. The spiritual ginseng is still in the jade box, and the box is tightly closed. I probably don’t have the strength to open it.
A new spirit stone was beside Xiaocao, and Yang Zhen could see it fading rapidly with the naked eye.
Have you been hungry for several days? Looking at Xiaocao's hungry look, Yang Zhen felt heartbroken.
He quickly poured the water into the pit and took out a spiritual stone and placed it next to Xiaocao. As for what to do if there were two missing spiritual stones when purchasing tomorrow, he couldn't think too much about it now.
Then I watched quietly as the water in the pit gradually became less and less.
After a while, Xiaocao seemed to be full, and she gently shook her head towards Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen quickly held Xiaocao up and felt her leaning softly on the back of her hand, feeling a sense of grievance.
"I will never make you angry again." He promised softly.
"But you are too angry. I really didn't mean it." He defended.
The grass shook violently, as if trying to break free from his hand.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault. You have a good temper, and you are more mature." Yang Zhen realized that something was going wrong and immediately comforted her.
This temper is comparable to that of some of the beauties in our class. He cursed in his heart, and he wouldn’t say this even if I were beaten to death.
"Was that childish voice yours last time? Can you speak now?" After a while, he asked.
Xiaocao shook it gently.
"Can't speak? What's going on?"
Yang Zhen and Xiao Cao have been getting along for a long time, and they have gradually figured out some ways to communicate.
Nodding and shaking her head are the easiest for her and can last for a long time. The disadvantage is that she can only say "yes" or "no".
It is easy for her to get tired by conveying thoughts, and she can only convey some simple emotions.
Yang Zhen had accumulated a lot of questions this time. Seeing Xiaocao's state, she had no choice but to ask through [yes] and [no].
His first question was: Can you still talk in the future?
Xiaocao:【Yes】
"How long will it take?"
Xiaocao didn't answer. He couldn't nod or shake his head, so he continued to ask:
"Is one month enough?"
Xiaocao still didn’t answer.
"Two months?"
Still no answer.
Doesn't it have anything to do with time? What does it have to do with? Looking at the dim spiritual stone, Yang Zhen suddenly realized.
"Are ten spiritual stones enough?"
Xiaocao:【No】
"One hundred?"
【Yes】
"Where's fifty?"
【No】
After some questioning, the answer came out, it was one hundred spiritual stones.
When he buys spiritual materials now, he can save about one for every five spiritual stones. According to this estimate, he needs five hundred spiritual stones. According to the progress of the training of the body training technique, this is already the third course of the third stage, and the time is
It will take at least three hundred days.
It’s been too long! It’s okay if he didn’t know before, but now that he knows this little guy can talk, he can’t wait to chat with her tomorrow.
Is there any way to save spirit stones?
Spiritual stones...spiritual drops...
Yang Zhen patted his big head. Can he save some money by using spirit drops? He immediately asked this question to Xiaocao.
Soon I got a new answer. Using spirit drops requires about 7,000 drops, which is seventy spirit stones.
In this way, thirty spiritual stones were saved, the total amount became three hundred and fifty spiritual stones, and the time was shortened to two hundred and forty days.
It was still too long. Yang Zhen continued to think about it and soon thought of another thing.
"Can those branches and leaves be used to replace spiritual stones?"
Xiaocao:【Yes】
"How many spiritual drops was equivalent to that bag of branches and leaves last time?"
Xiaocao replied: Nearly ten spirit drops.
Even if it’s ten drops, that’s three hundred spirit drops per month. If you have this supply every day, you can save sixty days of time!
One hundred and eighty days, six months, is still a long time. Yang Zhen hopes that Xiaocao can speak in about four months, that is, before the Chinese New Year.
"When you can speak, I'll give you a New Year's red envelope!" he thought happily.
Xiaocao must have many secrets, and he hoped that when she could speak, she could tell him.
I still have to shorten the time, and there is no guarantee that there will be so many branches and leaves every day. As the weather gets colder and colder, in winter, there will probably not be many left.
So, you have to find a way to earn spiritual stones, or make money!
His current monthly salary is twenty silver coins, and he can be rewarded with various rewards for telling stories every night. Normally, it is one silver coin. All these added up, it is only one hundred silver coins per month, which is just one spiritual stone.
Are you going to...sell Jin's flying sword?
Yang Zhen immediately rejected the idea. Not to mention that it was a relic of his biological mother, if his mother-in-law or others asked about the sword one day, he couldn't say that he had lost it.
It would be great if the designs of my folding chairs could be sold for money, but there is no concept of patent copyright in this world. The Zhao family's mortal shop is already selling these things, but Yang Zhen has not gained any benefit from them.
He didn't care at that time. He had hundreds of spiritual stones and a lot of monthly income. He always thought he had a lot of money, but now he realized that it was far from enough.
Is there any other way?
Yes! Those stories can be written into novels and published! Yang Zhen’s eyes suddenly lit up.
……
When he was thinking so wildly, Xiaocao leaned on him and remained motionless, looking very weak.
"How many spiritual stones are needed to completely restore to the previous state?"
Xiaocao:【Ten】
Oops! I have to set a small goal first and collect ten spiritual stones as soon as possible!
Yang Zhen has her own small goal, ten spirit stones. Mid-term goal: four months, seven thousand spirit drops, or in other words, seven thousand silver coins!
I should have a more ambitious goal, he thought.
"Will you become a human in the future?"
Xiaocao:【Yes】
Yang Zhen was overjoyed: "How many spiritual stones are needed? Ten thousand?"
Xiaocao:【No】
"One hundred thousand!"
【No】
Yang Zhen's face turned green: "One million!!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
【No】
The voice trembled: "Ten million!!!"
【No】
Moaning in despair: "Do you want 100 million?"
Xiaocao:【Yes】
One hundred million, oh my god!
I think you’d better give up on this idea and just be a grassroots! Yang Zhen has given up completely.
Xiaocao immediately felt a sense of grievance, anger, dissatisfaction, sadness, being entrusted to someone else...etc.
Come on, just one hundred million, this is my big goal.
The time is tentatively set at ten thousand years.
Love you for ten thousand years.
Who spends 100 million to keep a pet? That’s me, Yang Zhenyang Shitou.
Yang Zhen Yali Shanda.
……
No matter what, I can finally enter space again.
Yang Zhen, who got up early the next day, was so energetic that Zhao Yue'er, who was exercising with him, noticed it. The little girl was sent over by her mother early in the morning, and she leaned over with a curious face.
What the baby looks like.
"Brother Shitou, why are you so happy?"
Why am I happy? Yang Zhen complained in her heart, I owe 100 million!
"Because I didn't have to tell anyone a story last night, I slept well!" He said with a smile.
"Huh!" The little girl turned her face to one side: "I'll make it up tonight."
After practicing, Yang Zhen took Cai Si to Fangshi. This time she mainly purchased black iron beetles. This is a kind of monster insect that grows near black iron mines. It is metallic and about the same size as Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. It is said to be very delicious.
.
So there is a family that breeds a large number of black iron mines near their own, not to mention that the feces excreted by the beetles can also purify black iron ore. Therefore, there are a lot of these things on the market, and the price is not expensive. Yang Zhen spent a total of this purchase.
For two spiritual stones and two hundred and thirty silver coins, he begged in many places and asked for silver coins instead. Among them, there was also fifty silver coins that he borrowed from Caisi. He watched the little maid take it with a look of reluctance.
Yang Zhen was not only amused but also very touched by using her private money.
There was only one spirit stone and seven silver coins left, but he exchanged it for 107 spirit drops, seven of which he had persuaded others to use as a match.
Although there is a lack of money, there are still some things that should be spent. For example, Caisi and Zhao Yueer's candied haws must be bought. This time Caiyun is also added. There is no way, they are holding their own!
In addition, he bought a black iron beetle for Zhao Guiduo. This insect has poison glands, which Yang Zhen cannot handle. Now Zhao Gui seems to have become his personal assistant in processing animal meat, and this guy is quite happy to take on this job. After all, every day
I also lost a lot of benefits this time.
At noon, Yang Zhen went to find Jia Sheng.
"Mr. Jia," he said respectfully, "does our Zhao family have a bookstore in the county government?"
"Of course there is. Our Zhao family's Fenglin Bookstore is the largest bookstore in Shuyang County. The scripture textbooks used by Junguan students and county students every year are published by our Zhao family." Jia Sheng introduced proudly.<
/p>
"Can you please ask the shopkeeper of the bookstore to come over tonight and talk about it?"
"Can Madam know this?"
"I have asked Madam for permission before lunch."
"Okay, no problem."
Then Yang Zhen went to the medicine garden non-stop and delivered a copy of Black Iron Beetle to Zhao Qianan. Then she found Tiezhu and took a lot of cut branches and leaves from him. A few days ago, Yang Zhen saw that the grass was not there
After absorbing those branches and leaves, he didn't come to get them. Tie Zhu had been saving them for him.
It is autumn now, and there are many such branches and leaves, but they may become scarce in a few days.
He put all these branches and leaves in his room and put the small bluestone in. This time he could clearly see that the branches and leaves were decreasing and finally disappeared. Yang Zhen was very relieved, just like an old father seeing his children willing to eat. In the evening, when Yang Zhen was telling a story, she found an old man with a clear face sitting next to Jia Sheng. After telling the story, Jia Sheng indeed introduced this man, who was the owner of Fenglin Bookstore in Juncheng.
"Old Zhao Anlan has met Young Master Yang and heard Young Master Yang lecture today. It really opened my eyes to see that there are such wonderful stories in this world!"
"It's too much praise, I really don't deserve it." Yang Zhen quickly politely said.
"I wonder if my story was written as a novel and published, would anyone buy it?" he asked bluntly.
"It will definitely sell well!" Zhao Anlan did not hesitate.
One of them was willing to sell and the other was willing to buy. After some haggling, they quickly agreed on the price.
Yang Zhen promised that the story of "Journey to the West" will not be less than thirty episodes, and that at least one episode will be delivered every day, and the length of each episode is roughly equivalent to the plot told in one night.
Zhao Anlan promised to give 20 silver coins as a writing fee for each episode, and at Yang Zhen's strong request, he paid for 30 episodes in advance. If the story is lengthened in the future, additional payments will be made.
In this way, Yang Zhen easily obtained six hundred silver coins, and most of his small goal of ten spiritual stones was completed immediately.
After Zhao Anlan left, Grandma asked curiously: "Little Shitou, are you short of money now? If necessary, Grandma can give you those spiritual stones."
Yang Zhen glanced around and found that his wife, Caiyan Caiyun, and Zhao Yue'er were all waiting for his answer. He knew that his remarks could not be hidden from others, and there must be a reasonable explanation.
"I want to help Grandma Chen solve a family matter and need some money. I am going to earn this money myself."
This is the answer he has already thought about. If he has money in the future, he will consider doing that thing. Now, he can use it as a shield.
They had already inquired about the affairs of Yang Zhen and Grandma Chen's family, so they stopped asking. They also heard that Yang Zhen often visited Grandma Chen, and even gave the longevity pills to the old man last time. This is also the case.
Mammy attaches great importance to Yang Zhen and feels that this child attaches great importance to friendship.
……
But what Yang Zhen didn't expect was that that night, his small goal of ten spiritual stones was completed!
At night, Yang Zhen finished telling the two girls a bedtime story again, and when he was about to leave, Zhao Yuer stopped him.
The little girl asked Caiyun to bring a big jade box, and when she opened it, Yang Zhen's eyes were immediately blinded.
The shiny things inside are full of spiritual stones!
"Grandpa gave these to me," the little girl said very Versailles: "Grandpa said they were all worthless low-grade spiritual stones, and he asked me to play with them."
There must be more than a hundred pills in this full box! My mid-term goal seems to be right in front of me! Yang Zhen felt short of breath, and he forced himself to hold it back.
"I heard from Caisi that you asked her to borrow money. If you need spiritual stones, just get them from me!" the little girl said nonchalantly.
Caisi... Such a big mouth makes Yang Zhen's face feel a little hot.
He suppressed the greed rising in his heart. He had already set up a flag in front of everyone and could not knock it down casually.
"Grandma Chen, there's no rush about this matter. I'll earn the money slowly by myself."
"Well..." The little girl was a little disappointed and was about to close the jade box and put it away.
"But..." Yang Zhen hurriedly blocked it with her hand: "Can I borrow ten of them first? Or, can I exchange them with you for silver coins?"
"I don't want your silver coins!" The little girl happily counted out ten spiritual stones: "Take them! The gourd baby you talked about tonight is so interesting, sister will reward you!"
