"How about it, my friend, do you want to buy Jin Gong's universal translation service?" Goblin Jin Gong asked with a smile.
"Don't worry," Bai Xiaowen smiled, "I need to buy services, but it's not just this... I also need to open a stall, please help me take care of it. I also need to buy some information about the Prophecy Temple, which you can provide.
?”
"...Yes, my friend, you are so wise." Jin Gong gave a thumbs up.
Bai Xiaowen did not plan to buy a "service" alone, because after buying the translation service, if he saw the artifact fragments he wanted later, he would have to ask Jin Gong to contact the other party; if he had some artifact fragments that he planned to sell, would he also ask Jin Gong to do so?
Tribute resale?
After buying a service, you must also buy subsequent services. Otherwise, the previous investment will definitely be in vain. This is a sunk cost. Just like paying a deposit when buying something, if the details are not explained clearly at the beginning, after paying the deposit,
It is inevitable that unscrupulous merchants will increase prices and trick you into a fool.
It is a wise choice to put the services you want to purchase together, ask about the total price, and then consider whether it is worth it.
"Are you splitting the services you provide and making money one by one?" Bai Xiaowen asked curiously.
Jin Gong smiled and accepted it as acquiescence.
In fact, this is what Jin Gong did, and he also used this routine to deceive several waves of explorers.
"You... won't get beaten if you do this?" Bai Xiaowen asked doubtfully.
"My friend! Jin Gong is so kind, how could he be beaten? And the most important thing is..."
Jin Gong pointed to the square: "This is the square of the God of Prophecy. There are statues of the gods watching over them. No force can be used! Otherwise it would be blasphemy!"
Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly. He tried to release his true energy, and sure enough, he felt a strange and obscure pressure, which was exactly the same as the feeling on the 10,000-level stone steps just now.
Even the outward release of mental power is restricted. It seems that this square is still a "safe zone".
"All right."
Bai Xiaowen thought about it and said: "I need a universal translation of the Gold Mine Star lingua franca you speak, and an offline hosting stall... After buying the stall, if someone wants to buy my things, what should you do?
Notify me?"
"This... okay, use this."
Jin Gong reluctantly took out an old walkie-talkie. This appearance was a product of the industrial age, but it had a strong psychic aura. It was obviously a special psychic prop.
Bai Xiaowen's eyes of evolution swept over.
[G-205 individual soldier combat communicator: After injecting spiritual power, it can communicate with another bound legion communicator switchboard over a long distance. Effective distance: 1000 kilometers.]
"It looks good, it should be together with the stall, right?" Bai Xiaowen said quickly, "How should I break it if the distance exceeds 1,000 kilometers?"
The Prophecy Temple is about the same size as the Earth. If you want to explore inside the Prophecy Temple, you will accidentally exceed the effective radius of 1,000 kilometers.
"This was originally a separately charged item. My friend, you caused me to lose 50% of my profits!" Jin Gong quickly put on a smile after saying this, "But I still have an upgrade item here. Just pay for your g-
The 205-type individual combat communicator can be upgraded to the G-215 model by loading a small component, increasing the communication range to 2,000 kilometers!"
Bai Xiaowen was a little speechless. The upgrade project would probably cost the core of apotheosis. If he hadn't asked about the distance limit, this damn goblin would probably not have taken the initiative to mention the upgrade project. He would only wait until Bai Xiaowen suffered a series of distance losses before he came to ask for it.
He buys.
"I want the latest version of the intercom, a booth, and a universal translator. Are there any other hosting fees?" Bai Xiaowen said, "Calculate the total price together."
Jin Gong came up with the answer in one second: "There are 37 deified cores in total, my friend."
"Too expensive, 17 pieces."
"God of Wealth, this is impossible! Just the latest version of the G-255 individual combat communicator, the price is 25 deified cores, and there are stall fees, hosting fees, translation fees..."
The two haggled for a while and finally settled on 30 pieces.
"Now is the most critical question, what can you do to guarantee your credit?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Although it is said that so many Explorer voters believe in Jin Gong, it definitely means that this damn goblin has credibility, but Bai Xiaowen is not a gullible person.
"My friend, can't Jin Gong's shining kindness shine in your heart?"
"Sorry, I only see your shining gold teeth."
"...I swear in the name of the God of Wealth, it will be alright."
"Can."
The two finally finalized the deal.
The 30 deified cores not only emptied Bai Xiaowen's inventory, but also owed a few cores, which almost made the angry Jin Gong refuse the transaction.
However, the golden tribute also has sunk costs, after all, it is sworn in the name of the God of Wealth... Also, time is money, this sentence is not just a proverb to the goblins.
Bai Xiaowen refused to use spiritual crystals to make up for the price difference, but still promised to return the owed deified core to Jin Gong in the future.
With Jin Gong's "Universal Translation Manual" in hand, Bai Xiaowen quickly studied the characters of Jin Mining Star and began to browse each stall.
"So many people are interested in exchanging artifact fragments." Bai Xiaowen was amazed.
This means that the Prophecy Temple is a treasure place, and there are many artifact fragments in it! No wonder so many people would rather spend the core of deification than hand over the stall to Jin Gong.
Of course, more people are looking to buy artifact fragments, and each promise is more beautiful than the last.
But it's useless. In the place of origin, piecing together artifacts is an important way for explorers to strengthen their strength. How could they be easily deceived by a bad check?
If you want artifact fragments, you can only exchange them for other artifact fragments.
Among them, Bai Xiaowen even saw the fragment replacement information of the "Sword of Heaven's Punishment".
"Sword of Heaven's Punishment No. 6, a fragment of the God of Light series artifact, only accepts the replacement of artifact fragments of the Desert God series!"
Seeing this article, Bai Xiaowen fell into deep thought.
"Isn't what I grabbed from Ocandis the Sword of Punishment No. 6?"
Two Swords of Heavenly Punishment No. 6 appeared at the same time. What does this mean?
Bai Xiaowen instantly thought of two possibilities.
First, when the God of Light made the artifact, he made more than one Sword of Punishment, and other gods, including other gods, might make duplicate artifacts.
After all, mass production is simpler and less labor-intensive than redesigning new products.
Moreover, the Sword of Heavenly Punishment is only a low-level artifact.
As for the second possibility, there is something wrong with the stall owner and he deliberately spreads false news. But this possibility... is a bit low. There is no obvious benefit for the time being. It is just a waste of the core of deification (escrow fee).
