"Sir, please allow me to express my most sincere gratitude to you."
Quentin took Marina's little hand and walked into the room. Naturally, he also came with the most valuable psychic materials in the Thistle family's treasury.
These psychic materials are already the most valuable items Quentin can find.
The spiritual energy flashing on it is accompanied by strong attribute power.
It can be smelted to make exquisite weapons.
It is a very valuable item for any spirit slayer.
But Quentin knew very well that maybe these things were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the other party.
When Quentin walked into the room at this time, his suspicions were immediately confirmed in the eyes of the three people in the room.
Except for Shuang'er who looked at it with curiosity, the other two adults had no intention of looking at these things.
Ding Xiaoyi glanced at these psychic materials and motioned to Shuang'er to take them over.
"I accepted the things, but I don't want to receive such a task again next time."
Hearing this, Quentin couldn't help but feel a little thumped in his heart.
He knew that there must be a greater power behind Lost Mansion.
If you become a burden to this organization, the day will come when you will be treated as an outcast and abandoned.
"Don't worry, sir. We will improve our strength as soon as possible and will never let you worry about it again."
Quentin immediately patted his chest and promised.
However, Ding Xiaoyi said in a disapproving tone: "It's up to you, the production of psychic energy essence must be accelerated.
From now on, he must hand over at least five thousand kilograms of spiritual energy essence to Bitser every month.
In addition, three months of your money will be deducted.
Although Quentin felt distressed about his monthly share of 10 ghost notes, this incident was also expected by him.
After all, this time they asked the mansion for help, they would definitely have to pay a corresponding price, deducting three months, which was actually much better than they expected.
"In addition, I need to give you a task."
After hearing about the mission, Quentin and Marina suddenly became energetic. They saw the power of the mysterious man in front of them. Even if it was just the tip of the iceberg, they were very eager to perform in front of this man to prove their worth.
"Look for a psychic creature. This psychic creature must have the following characteristics!"
Ding Xiaoyi immediately informed the two of them in detail about the various abilities and characteristics of the Photo Source Hand.
Marina even took out her notebook and quickly recorded it to make sure nothing was missed.
Mr. Chen was unable to obtain the source-photographing hand recorded in the "Book of All Foods". Although he didn't say it with his mouth, he must have many regrets in his heart.
But maybe I can make up for this regret in other ways.
I just took this opportunity to arrange this task. I believe that with Quentin's ability, it should not be difficult to find a psychic creature that meets his requirements.
"Don't worry, sir. We will definitely handle this matter as soon as possible. We also ask you to stay here for a few more days so that we can show our friendship as landlords."
Quentin invited them warmly, wishing they could live in his home forever.
However, his enthusiasm was poured cold water on by Ding Xiaoyi: "No, we will leave later. After completing the task, give the things to Quentin, and you will get a good reward."
The cold voice gave Quentin no room for bargaining, and Quentin and Marina could only accept this reality with great disappointment.
After the two left the room, Pangpang put down his phone: "I didn't realize that you are quite suitable to be a manager."
Ding Xiaoyi's beating just now not only stimulated them to work hard for self-improvement, but also made them understand that any task in Lost Mansion will come with a corresponding price.
After finishing the fight, give them a task to help them find a breakthrough to show their value, and give them a sweet date by the way.
Although Ding Xiaoyi's original purpose was to enhance Quentin's strength, this was far better than giving it to them directly, at least it would not make them feel dependent.
Ding Xiaoyi didn't take very well to Pang Pang's compliments.
"Don't mention it. When I was a kid, I followed my old man and watched it for a while, but I only learned a few things. If you ask me to take care of it, I can't handle it. Being a hands-off shopkeeper is what I like."
Pangpang just smiled at this and said: "Governing by doing nothing is not the highest state of a manager. Look at the emperor, isn't he just a hands-off shopkeeper?"
I don’t know why, but when I mention the Great Emperor, Pangpang feels a severe pain in his head.
The bump on my head hasn't healed in the past few days.
It seems like you have to live there for a few days.
Pangpang doesn't want anyone except Old Man Hao to see his current appearance, not even Tu Tu, Liao Qiu or even Empress Zhao.
While the two were talking, Ding Xiaoyi casually tore open a crack in space.
"Let's go. This place is comfortable to live in, but I always feel like... something is missing."
When Pangpang saw his melancholy look, he smiled knowingly, but didn't point it out.
I can actually understand this feeling in my heart. Otherwise, why would they go to a place as big as Chaimu's new residence if they couldn't live in a luxurious palace?
After the three of them returned to the old city, they looked at the familiar houses and old courtyards.
There is a lot of traffic outside, and through the front door of my house, I can hear the shouting lines played repeatedly from the loudspeakers of roadside vendors.
"The pants factory in City L has closed down. The pants factory in City L has closed down. The boss ran away with his sister-in-law. There is now a clearance operation. The pants that originally cost hundreds or thousands of dollars are now only ten yuan for three pairs. They can't be worn or broken."
All ten dollars."
"Wowotou, four for one dollar, hehe!"
"More mature than my wife, sweeter than my lover, and more flavorful than my mistress. Bring me back when you give birth!"
Underneath all kinds of magical hawking sounds, passers-by are constantly passing by.
Only then did Ding Xiaoyi feel that this place felt like a place where people lived. Although the house was a bit small and it was noisy outside, when he lifted his nose and sniffed, he could still smell the smell of fried stinky tofu on the street.
But compared to the Quentin family's mansion, maids, and delicious food, it is not popular at all.
This is the first time Shuang'er has come to this world.
Looking longingly at the bustling streets outside, Ding Xiaoyi looked at the time and saw that it was already late anyway, so he simply showed his kindness as a landlord and took the two of them out for some fun.
After all, not far up the street is the famous cross street in S city, also known as the snack street.
I don’t know which leader thought red was more festive, so he hung big bright red lanterns on both sides of the street.
So much so that everyone jokingly calls this street the red light district.
"this is delicious!"
Not even halfway through, Shuang'er already had squid in his left hand, chicken wings in his right hand, and a bag of fried jelly in his hand.
The bulging little mouth never stopped.
“It’s so lively!”
Pangpang looked at the street in front of him with a smile on his face. His exaggerated appearance attracted the attention of many people.
Some people even took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the fat and angular look.
But Pang Pang didn't care at all.
Yes, how can the ant's ridicule affect the giant elephant's mood?
"Yeah, it's much more lively than I thought." Ding Xiaoyi nodded.
Compared with the life-and-death struggle among the major families, the impact on the lives of ordinary people is not significant.
Obviously, the previous warnings from Lord Jiu and the Meilin family still had a big effect. No matter how fierce the fight was, no one dared to extend the war further.
Otherwise, we will face endless revenge from the Jiuye and Meilin families.
Of course, everything has its disadvantages and advantages, and there are always some smart little minds who can find the advantage from adversity.
For some small families rooted in the market, this is a complete welfare.
I heard that in order to prevent accidents, some small families simply spent their own money to hold various activities and festivals around their homes. As a result, people flowed around their homes every day, and it was extremely lively from day to night.
Although this approach is a bit like kidnapping the masses, I have to say that the effect is quite good.
Some small families even moved their families directly from luxury mansions with superior environment to densely populated residential areas.
These small families have roots in the market and will also clear up some psychic incidents, which is not a bad thing for the union and the people.
"Look more, I guess you won't be able to see it soon."
Pangpang said in a slightly regretful tone. Ding Xiaoyi, who was standing aside, was suddenly startled and looked a little ugly: "Are you referring to... the black moon, or the Zhaomi Dharma Assembly after three months?"
"Everything is there!"
Pangpang explained as he walked: "The Black Moon is irreversible. Pulling this thing deep into the underworld is just a delaying tactic. There is not much time to gain. Even if there is no Zhaomi Dharma Assembly, the Black Moon will reappear.
Something that no one can stop.”
When Ding Xiaoyi heard this, he couldn't help but look worriedly at the bustling market in front of him.
Pangpang did not reveal any more information.
But it is not difficult to understand from his words that once the black moon appears next time, the prosperity in front of you may turn into a hell on earth in an instant.
Although he doesn't care about the life and death of others, when he thinks that his hometown is about to face a disaster, no one would feel happy.
Just as he was walking forward with the crowd full of thoughts.
Suddenly Shuang'er's eyes lit up, and he pulled Ding Xiaoyi and said, "Master, look at the many treasures over there!"
"treasure??"
When Ding Xiaoyi heard this, his eyes suddenly tightened, and he saw various strange-shaped bronzes placed on the stall not far in front.
Perhaps it is because every time a bronze vessel appears in Huangquan, it is extremely extraordinary, and Ding Xiaoyi attaches great importance to these bronze vessels.
At this time, so many bronzes were actually placed on a simple street stall, which made him very surprised. He had passed by here countless times before, but he had never seen it before.
He immediately took Shuang'er and walked up.
The stall owner looked to be in his early fifties, with messy hair, wearing a blue gown, and holding a small cloth bag around his waist with yin and yang fish embroidered on it. Although he looked sloppy, his eyes were
But it's very vicious.
Seeing Ding Xiaoyi and the other two people approaching, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother, take a look, they are all good things. If it were not for lack of money, I would keep these treasures and pass them on to my grandson."
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the stall owner and saw that he had no psychic powers, but he had a feeling that he couldn't explain.
Immediately after scanning his eyes, his eyes were involuntarily attracted to a spherical object.
I can't tell what this thing is, but the carvings on it are extremely exquisite and lifelike. I am considered a master at carving, but I can't say that I can carve it so vividly.
Sensing his look, the stall owner's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the beautifully carved sphere and handed it to Ding Xiaoyi.
"Hey, little brother, you really have a good eye. This is the Nine-turn Universe Ball, a product of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Did the Western Zhou Dynasty know?
Well...that was a long, long, long, long time, thousands of years ago.
This treasure is said to be a sacred object used by ancient emperors to worship heaven and earth. I won’t sell it to anyone else. We are destined to sell it to you. It’s not expensive.
