Chapter 1642 A Beautiful Day

The tip of the sword penetrated a little, piercing the skin. It did not really penetrate into the throat, but Bain's whole body tensed up.

throat!

It is one of the key points of human beings at all times, alongside the heart and brain. Even compared to the heart and brain protected by the chest and skull, the exposed throat is more fragile.

Even after being fully trained by the 'Herder' and fighting countless battles, this still cannot be changed.

Especially when looking at Kieran in front of him, Bain really felt the killing intent.

Although it seems to be absent, it really exists.

Therefore, without hesitation, Bain said loudly.

"terribly sorry!"

"I apologize for my recklessness!"

"And I am willing to compensate you!"

As he spoke, Bain looked at Kieran nervously.

When he saw Qin Ran retracting the tip of his sword slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thirty [copper crossing coins]."

Kieran reported a number.

Bain, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately felt nervous.

"It's just too much, I...no problem!"

"I still have thirty [copper ferry coins]!"

Bain wanted to explain something, but the sword tip that had just been withdrawn was sent up again. Without any hesitation, Bain immediately agreed.

Compared with [Copper Crossing Coin], life is undoubtedly more important.

After all, once your life is gone, there really is nothing.

However, just when Bain agreed, Kieran struck out with the long sword in his hand.

Seeing the sword light in front of him and feeling the cold light of the metal weapon, Bain closed his eyes.

He thought Qin Ran was going back on his word.

However, the next moment, Bain felt a chill in his upper body.

His tracksuit and vest were slashed with swords.

The cut clothes fell to the ground. Kieran used the tip of his sword to pick up the clothes and inspect them.

"Witch Gu?"

Bain opened his eyes again and immediately saw this scene. The other party, who was not an idiot, reacted quickly.

"Did you mess with those bastards?"

Bane asked.

"Um."

Qin Ran nodded.

There is no need to hide this. Although most people don't know what happened, it is not difficult for the 'herders' to investigate this matter.

"it is as expected."

After hearing Kieran's words, Bain nodded thoughtfully.

Such self-talk naturally attracted Kieran's attention.

"Ed King's disappearance should also be related to these bastards."

"Although I have no definite evidence, Ed Wang's last mission report was to investigate a 'psychic game' played by high school girls."

"Then he disappeared."

"Unless there are extremely special circumstances, as the person in charge of Aicheng East District 7, he will deliver a message of safety every eight hours."

"And now it's been more than five safe periods."

"At the same time, I found traces of witchcraft in that high school."

Bain explained.

"anything else?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

"No more."

"Witch Gu's gang is more cunning than you think."

"Even 'herders' have trouble finding their whereabouts."

Bain said, spreading his hands.

"If you find it, tell me."

Kieran said calmly.

Although only one witchcraft person showed interest in Mimosa, Kieran could not guarantee the attitude of the remaining witchcraft people.

What's more, Kieran was never so naive as to place his and Mimosa's safety on the kindness of his enemies.

When facing enemies, he prefers to strike first and then... eradicate them!

Bain, who had no idea what Kieran was thinking, glanced at Kieran unexpectedly.

"Although we adhere to the law of the jungle, people are not bad."

"At least for people I know well, it's pretty good."

"It's not in vain that idiot Ed Wang has been busy for you."

With this thought in his heart, Bain nodded and prepared to leave.

"etc."

Qin Ran suddenly stopped the other party.

"rest assured."

"I often go to morning exercises with my upper body naked, so I don't need clothes."

Bain smiled and waved his hand.

"I don't care how you exercise. Even if you are called a pervert, it has nothing to do with me."

"I want to remind you of your ransom."

"Thirty [copper crossing coins]."

Qin Ran emphasized.

"Am I someone who will default on my debt?"

"I am a good friend of your uncle Ed Wang."

Bain raised his voice.

However, when he saw Qin Ran's hand holding the hilt of the sword again, he immediately said softly: "I didn't bring that much money when I went out. When I get home, I will get it for you right away."

Kieran didn't say anything, he just raised the sword he was holding and pointed it at Bain again.

It has nothing to do with identity or position.

Kieran simply didn't trust a stranger he had only met once.

No matter what the other party said or did, until there was no more evidence to prove it, Kieran believed more in the benefits obtained.

Therefore, in the absence of a very convenient means like a 'contract' as a premise, Kieran believed in taking the easy way out.

Bain and Kieran looked at each other.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

…

Time passed, and Kieran's eyes remained unblinking, but Bain's eyes felt dry.

Moreover, Bain always felt that the young man in front of him seemed to have seen through his truest idea - to default on his debt.

Thirty [Copper Crossing Coins], he had saved for several years.

Bain wouldn't mind if he could be ignored.

As for the consequences?

What could be the consequences?

At worst, just avoid Kieran.

It's not like he's never done anything like this before.

If you have too many debts, don’t worry; if you have too many lice, don’t bite them.

There is not too much Qinran, there is not too much Qinran.

However, what Bain didn't expect was that Kieran would be so unwilling to accept anything.

"Stubborn!"

"How stubborn!"

"Don't you know how to adapt?"

Bain held on to his last extravagant hope and wanted to struggle a bit, but Kieran didn't waste any time and let go of the sword in his hand again.

This time, the stab was much deeper than before.

Bain didn't hesitate. If he advanced one step further, his trachea would be punctured.

"etc!"

"for you!"

By this time, Bain didn't dare to fool around anymore.

He felt the murderous intention clearer than before.

If before, it was more about deterrence than practicality, then at this time, Bain could be sure that the young man in front of him was truly murderous.

"Don't I just owe you some money?"

"Why are you so angry?"

"Are you a cheapskate?"

Bain said as he took out a wallet from the pocket of his sweatpants.

Carefully, he took out a silver coin without square holes, which was similar to the Tongdu coin, but the sun and moon patterns on the front and back of this coin were more complicated.

[Name: Yindu Money]

[Type: sundries]

[Quality: Rare]

[Attack power: none]

[Defense: None]

[Attribute: Can better cover up the breath of a large number of souls going to the ‘distant place’]

[Special effects: none]

[Requirements: None]

[Whether this copy can be taken out: No]

[Note: The emergence of Duqian was much earlier than the 'Herder' organization. No one knew what its original purpose was. However, after the aura that covered the soul's journey to the 'distant place' was discovered, it became The Universal Currency of the Herdsman's and Mystical Sides. 】

…

When Qin Ran's fingertips touched this [Yindu Money], the five major sources of power in his body burst into joy, especially the 'Gluttony' was full of desire.

However, now is not the time.

Kieran looked at Bain, who had a painful expression on his face, and nodded at the mimosa.

Immediately, Mimosa took out the previous trophies [Curse Paper Man] and [House of Resentful Spirits (Broken)] from under the bar and placed them on the bar.

Immediately, Bain's attention was attracted.

But immediately, Bain said calmly.

"[Curse Paper Figure] has been used and is worthless."

"The [House of Wraith Spirits] is also damaged and worthless."

"oh."

Qin Ran nodded, turned around and walked back to the bar, putting the two things away again.

What's the meaning?

Bain was stunned.

"Sir, we are closed."

"If you need anything, please come back tomorrow."

Mimosa said with a smile.

After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation, walked to the door of the restaurant, and opened the door for the other party.

"I will pay ten copper ferry coins."

"Twenty!"

"Twenty! No more!"

Seeing Mimosa seriously asking her to leave, Bain immediately made an offer.

[Curse Paper Man] is forgettable, it’s really not worth much, it’s only worth about one copper coin, but [House of Wraith Spirits] is different.

There are not many schools of witchcraft and Gu that can make [House of Resentful Spirits], and among these schools, most of the witchcraft and Gu practitioners will destroy their [House of Resentful Spirits] when they die.

Therefore, there are even fewer [House of Resentful Spirits] spread out.

Bain clearly remembered that many people in the 'Herder' Research Institute were interested in the [House of Wraiths].

Even a damaged [House of Wraith Spirits] is enough to sell for a high price.

Not to mention twenty copper coins, three silver coins are also very possible.

In this way, not only the losses were made up, but he was also able to make a fortune.

only……

Seeing Kieran who was indifferent to his offer, Bain's heart, which had been excited just now, began to sink.

He felt he had met his match.

At the same time, Bain was also a little strange.

You learned fighting skills in the mountains and became alert, but where did you learn this kind of cunning like a profiteer?

"I caught a fox before."

"She said she would repay me and give me a month's worth of food."

"Then, I happily let her go."

"After that, I never saw the fox again."

Qin Ran stood at the bar and said with memories on his face.

fox?

Did you learn it from the cunning fox?

Bain secretly thought in his heart, but he immediately thought of something and blurted out: "The fox can talk? Pay her back? Who are you fooling!"

"yes."

"Who are you fooling?"

Kieran nodded and looked at Bain seriously. His gaze seemed to be 'see-through', making Bain feel uncomfortable all over.

"A silver coin."

"No more."

Bain was not going to delay it any longer.

Because, he found that even if he delayed it any longer, he would not be able to take advantage.

Therefore, Bain planned to make a quick decision and quoted a price.

"The door is there, please walk slowly without seeing me."

Qin Ran said slowly.

He didn't know the value of [House of Resentful Spirits] in this dungeon world, but Kieran still knew the price of rare items.

Even [Yindu Money] is a rare item.

[Yin Ferry Money], which can be used as currency, has a single function and must have a large inventory, can never replace the rarer [House of Wraith Spirits] with more functions.

Even if the [House of Resentful Spirits] is destroyed, it will be the same.

"snort!"

Facing Kieran's attitude, Bain seemed to be angry and turned around and walked out.

But neither Kieran nor Mimosa cared.

Mimosa even, the door wasn't even lighted.

Just stood in front of the door and stared outside.

From what I have seen, Mimosa is no stranger to business methods, and can even be said to be quite good at it.

Mimosa could see Bain's urgency for the [House of Wraith Spirits].

With such a premise, everything is already doomed.

In fact, it was the same. A few seconds later, Bain strode back again after leaving.

"Two silver coins."

Bain quoted a price that made him feel pain.

"Three."

Qin Ran quoted a price that almost suffocated Bain. However, Bain, who knew that the little trick was useless, widened his eyes and looked at the [House of Resentful Spirits] that was once again placed on the bar by Qin Ran. , the herder gritted his teeth and nodded. No matter how little meat there is on the mosquito's legs, it is still meat!

"good."

Bain threw the wallet in his hand on the bar.

In addition to three silver coins, there were several banknotes in the wallet.

Qin Ran took three silver coins, and then handed the wallet and [House of Resentful Spirits] to Bain.

"You're a profiteer!"

"I won't come again!"

Bain said swearing.

And Qin Ran?

He said with a smile: "Welcome to visit next time."

The morning sun had completely risen at this time. In the late autumn morning, Bain faced the cold wind, bare his upper body, and walked on the street holding the [House of Resentful Spirits] that looked like a bowl. It was naturally attracted to him. The gaze of others.

Some people are disdainful.

Some ridicule.

But more people are compassionate.

An elderly woman couldn't help but walked to Bain's side, put a small denomination of change in Bain's bowl, and at the same time took out a piece of bread from her breakfast bag. Put it in the hands of the stunned Bain.

"I'm not……"

"I understand, everyone will encounter setbacks."

“But if you are strong, you can get back on your feet.”

"I look forward to the day when I see you get back on your feet."

The old woman interrupted Bain's words with a kind smile.

People all behave by following the herd.

After seeing the old woman's kind deeds, people around her who were already sympathetic started to donate generously.

"I'm not a beggar!"

"I'm really not a beggar!"

Looking at more and more coins in the bowl, Bain hurriedly explained, but the people around him turned a deaf ear and smiled with understanding.

"Yes, of course you are not a beggar."

"You're just down for the moment."

"I trust you will solve this difficulty with your own hands."

It was the same old woman. She took off her scarf, wrapped it around Bain's body, and then disappeared into the morning sun with a kind smile.

The people around him also dispersed.

Bain was left standing there blankly, repeating those words.

"I'm not a beggar!"

"I'm really not a beggar!"

…

On the second floor of the restaurant, Qin Ran saw this scene clearly through the window. He not only shook his head, but also turned around and walked towards the sofa chair next to the bed.

Looking at Mimosa who was smiling in his sleep, he squeezed the silver coins in his hand, and Qin Ran, who was half lying on the sofa chair, also showed a smile.

What a wonderful day!
