Chapter 186 Shortage of funds
"It's nice to be able to pay the bill with cigarettes, but..."

[Hand of St. Vincent: 520 and cigarettes. 】

[Blood of Saint Mercury: 400 cigarettes. 】

Zhou Ze stared at the price on the screen, then looked at the pathetic deposit of 196 cigarettes on the protagonist, and remained silent.

The room suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Poor poor.

Although he already knew that Kress was a fallen nobleman, and guessed that he might not have much money to squander, but he didn't expect that the cigarettes he didn't fall on his body could not even afford a holy artifact!
The old man in the antique shop looked at him strangely.

He obviously said that Datong would use cigarettes to buy the holy weapon, but after a long time of fuss, his cigarettes couldn't even afford half the price of the relatively cheap holy weapon... Isn't this funny?
"It's all here, no matter what, I have to buy one. In order to make up for the cigarettes, I can only sell other things on the protagonist to make up the difference."

Zhou Ze's first choice was to sell the trench coat and top hat that the protagonist had just replaced. With the night dress and twilight top hat, there is no need for other coats and hats, and it would be a burden to keep them.

The jacket and top hat sold for the price of 95 cigarettes.

Except for weapons, food, and necessities that cannot be sold, everything else can be sold for money.

Sell ​​the exquisite gold pocket watch that Clays brought with him at the beginning to the old man. This time the old man estimated a high price of 350 cigarettes.

"Now there are 641 cigarettes, more than enough to buy St. Vincent's hand."

Compared with the blood of St. Mercury, the wounded Cress still needs the blood of St. Vincent to speed up his recovery.

Furthermore, Zhou Ze is still not sure whether he wants to give Kress the Penance Bracelet.

The conferring price of the Penance Bracelet is 20 Merit.

The 20 meritorious deeds are more or less, whether it is to consume the last free chance or directly krypton gold, it is very difficult to make a decision, and Zhou Ze will not make up his mind for a while.

[Hand of St. Vincent: Equipment requires normal creatures, 2-star equipment. 】

[Effect: After wearing it, it improves the body's regeneration ability. 】

[Curse: Reduce the ability to trade with others, it is difficult to refuse the price of goods proposed by others, and it is impossible to negotiate prices. 】

[Remarks: These are the hands of a well-respected Catholic father in France. This priest is famous for his enthusiasm for charity. His hands were made into this wax figure. His hands are tightly clasped together, as if representing humility . 】

[Hint: The power of the sacred artifact comes from obsession, and the curse is often accompanied by it. 】

"Tsk, I liked to do charity during my lifetime, so will the wearer also be affected to do 'charity'?"

Is buying other people’s products at high prices considered charity?

Too lazy to complain about the obsession with the curse of this sacred artifact, Zhou Ze let Kress wear this sacred artifact immediately.

The Hand of St. Vincent is a one-to-one replica of the wax figure arm, with lifelike details, just like a real pair of hands intertwined and holding each other. It cannot be carried casually on the body, but can only be placed in a backpack. Fortunately, this sacred instrument can only be carried with you. will take effect.

The natural regeneration of the body is difficult to see in a short period of time.

After all, the hand of St. Vincent only speeds up the recovery speed, rather than directly making the injury recover quickly.

"There are 121 cigarettes left, and it's close to three hundred to buy the blood of St. Mercury."

He can't spend all his money on holy artifacts. He has to leave at least a few dozen cigarettes for emergencies. If he goes out without a penny, he will be too passive. As the saying goes, a penny can't kill a hero Chinese.

"Have you got anything of value on you? How many cigarettes?"

Let Kress interact with temporary teammate Ergouzi.

Ever since the two of them entered the antique shop, Er Gouzi has been attracted by the old man's collection, and has been fiddling with the weird gadgets in front of the window, wondering if he has listened carefully to the conversation between Kles and the old man.

Not reliable, this guy.

"Ah, huh? Oh, yes."

Er Gouzi, who was playing with an unknown mysterious instrument, was startled when Kles suddenly asked him a question.

He showed an embarrassed smile: "I only have 47 cigarettes here. Among the valuable things, apart from a lighter and three cigars, the only thing left is this mobile phone with little battery left."

cell phone? !
right!mobile phone!
Although the principle of the time difference is not known, the background of the Lost City is the late 19th century.

At that time, not to mention mobile phones, even the rudiments of computers and televisions had not yet appeared. The technology tree of this period was at most wireless telegraphs and film black and white silent movies, and the higher level was gone...

A mobile phone capable of recording color video and precise calculations is undoubtedly invaluable here!It is more miraculous than any holy artifact with mysterious power!
Sure to fetch a good price!

"Tell Er Gouzi to hand over his mobile phone and sell it for cigarettes!"

Zhou Ze whispered an order to Kles without hesitation.

If Er Gouzi hadn't been a temporary teammate and couldn't just grab things from his pockets and sell them, he would have replaced Er Gouzi's valuable equipment with cigarettes. He still wanted to keep his mobile phone?Hey, be good and contribute to the organization.

Kress pondered for a moment in the game: "Er Gouzi, it's time for you to show your value."

"Ok?"

Er Gouzi, who didn't know anything, suddenly became energetic: "What do you want me to do? I will go through fire and water!"

"Don't worry, you don't need to go through fire and water."

Kles looked at him with kind eyes of caring for the mentally retarded: "I want to buy a few holy artifacts to expand my strength, but I don't have enough cigarettes, so I need to donate your mobile phone to supplement the funds."

"This..." Ergouzi's expression was dull and he said with a bitter look on his face: "Can we think of another way?"

"Isn't your phone running out of battery? It's a piece of scrap metal if it's dead."

Clais, who has received the knowledge infusion, probably knows what a mobile phone is.

He then said in a persuasive way: "As long as you complete the mission of the organization with me and successfully eliminate the curse of this city, what kind of mobile phone do you want to buy when you return to Earth? What if our mission fails due to lack of funds? What to do? To do big things, you have to put all your eggs in one basket, and if you don’t succeed, you will be benevolent, understand?”

Er Gouzi was stunned for a moment, the blood in his heart was ignited, and he boldly took out the mobile phone with less than ten grid points left.

"Brother, you are right. If you want to achieve great things, you must have the spirit of dedication. It's just a mobile phone, a possession! It's my honor to help you save this city!"

While donating mobile phones to publicize their achievements, they also did not forget to flatter them. These two dogs are also talents from a certain point of view.

"Smartphones can at least sell thousands of cigarettes, right? It seems that choosing Er Gouzi as a temporary teammate is not as bad as imagined. The mobile phone gift package alone is worth the original price, and the operation funds will be greatly expanded at the beginning."

A smile curled up on the corner of Zhou Ze's mouth, and asked Kress to try to sell the smartphone to the old man in the antique shop at a high price.

however.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't accept it?
　I just found out that the number of previous chapters was wrong. I accidentally skipped a chapter between chapters 170 and 170. No one reminded me that chapter 170 was missing...
