Arknights is too real, right?

Chapter 971 Because you can’t, that’s why you can

Xia Feng priced the sandworms at 1 gold each, which was simply jaw-dropping to the people in the town.

How to put it, this is like a rural man who drives a tractor all day long and learns for the first time that a Bugatti Veyron costs tens of millions. They are both cars, so why is the gap so big?

Faced with this price, even if they sell all the tractors in the village, they still can't afford it. However, people's curiosity will force them to want to see what the Bugatti Veyron looks like.

In an easy-to-understand way of saying it, this is called traffic.

In less than half an hour, the news that someone was selling sandworms for 1 gold spread around the town.

No matter men, women, old or young, even the fat man who had just been selling water at the well came over after hearing the news. Of course, no one had more than 1 gold in coins, but everyone wanted to see it.

Whether it’s to open your eyes or to watch a joke, I just want to watch it.

Realizing that more and more people were gathering, Xia Feng finally woke up from his drowsy state. He glanced at the crowd and started shouting for the first time.

"Ahem, sandworms are on sale. They are nutritious and delicious. Don't miss it if you pass by!"

Looking at the two sandworms placed in front of him, the melon-eaters could not equate them with a golden gold coin.

A young man with a towel wrapped around his head asked.

"How much does a sandworm like you cost?"

Xia Feng raised a finger unchanged.

"Economical and affordable, no bully, 1 gold for 1 piece."

At this time, more people heard about this outrageous price, and the crowd was in an uproar.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Xia Feng cleared his throat and started promoting.

"Don't be surprised, everyone. Be quiet for a moment and listen to me explain why this sandworm is sold so expensively."

The expressions of the onlookers are basically the same. This expression is like saying, "Go on, please start your performance. Even if you tell the truth, I won't buy it because I can't afford it."

Afterwards, Xia Feng spoke passionately, first citing some professional knowledge in biology and nutrition to explain the nutrients rich in the sandworm meat.

Of course, the professional ones are just nouns, such as protein, thiamine, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, etc. As for whether they are correct or not, that is another matter. Anyway, they sound very professional.

After successfully fooling the residents of these towns, he continued to sell the truth in simple and easy-to-understand ways.

"Folks, sandworms are full of treasures. If you want to eat them deliciously, grill them over charcoal. skr, cough, I'm not bragging at all. Victoria knows, Victoria's royal family members eat sandworms every day. Look at their hair, and He is golden and bright, he never gets sick, and he is as strong as a lion."

At this time, a rebuttal voice appeared.

"We have never been to Victoria, so we don't know whether what you said is true or not. What matters to us most is not the dignity of the ingredients, but the practicality. Why should we buy these 1 gold pieces from you?"

Another middle-aged woman holding a child echoed.

"That's right. Don't you think we are fools? We have never seen you sandworm before. How come you are worth 1 gold?"

"You're right. It's possible that this kind of bug is already on the streets abroad. He's just here to fool those of us who have never seen it on the market."

Faced with everyone's insinuations from Ming Chao, Xia Feng's face did not turn red and his heart did not beat.

He maintained a mysterious smile and responded to the last uncle who spoke.

"Uncle, since you guessed that foreign countries are ruined, you can go out and collect them now. It doesn't matter how many you take back. I will buy them all at the price of 1 gold. If you and my fellow villagers can bear witness, I will never break my promise."

The uncle who finally spoke fell silent.

Xia Feng stood up from the stall, calmly straightened the wrinkles on his clothes, and then showed an extremely complicated expression.

This expression contains a wry smile, helplessness, forbearance, relief, and even a hint of twisted madness.

Although his expression was puzzling, there was still a sense of unknown severity. Seeing his state, the onlookers held their breaths, waiting for his next words.

Xia Feng stepped over the sandworms at his feet, leaned closer to the crowd, and then deliberately lowered his voice.

"There are some things I can't explain too clearly. Do you know why I come here to sell sandworms?"

Everyone raised their ears and asked in unison.

"why?"

"Actually, this sandworm has quite a lot of background."

"What's the origin? You'd better tell me quickly."

Xia Feng rubbed his face with his hands and sighed.

"I'll tell you the truth. Everyone knows about this. If you don't understand, you won't understand even if I tell you. It's better not to tell me. Don't keep asking me why sandworms are sold so expensively. Hey , the interests are too involved, and it won’t be of any benefit to you, just pretend you don’t know. For the rest, I can only say that the water here is very deep, and many big shots are involved. Sandworms are not something ordinary people can eat. That’s all. If you don’t understand, I can’t help you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence all around.

Even the old man selling candied haws on a stick stopped selling.

Everyone looked at each other, and for a while, no one dared to continue to question.

Everyone who understands understands. At this moment, everyone has the same idea in their hearts. If anyone asks again at this time, he will be the only one who doesn't understand.

Even if they really don't understand.

After that, everyone's expressions gradually became serious and cautious, and no one questioned randomly like they did before just joining in the fun.

Everyone has always maintained a state of aloofness from the sandworms. They neither show curiosity nor can't help but peek over at them secretly.

In the afternoon, some villagers who had just arrived in the town discovered the sandworm stall. However, as soon as these villagers came forward to ask, they were kindly stopped by the people nearby.

"Brother, don't come close."

"Why, I want to see what is on sale."

"Everyone who understands understands, and those who don't understand don't understand even after reading it."

"???"

In this way, the villagers gradually formed a flowing vortex with Xia Feng as the center, and no one left the 20-meter radius of the sandworm stall.

Everyone wants to see if anyone will actually buy this "sandworm that everyone knows about".

Whenever someone finally couldn't stand it anymore and was ready to leave, Xia Feng would pull out the Shenyue Sword from his waist and make a gesture to disintegrate the sandworm.

At this time, those who were about to leave stopped again, swallowing their saliva and looking around.

Then, Xia Feng put the knife back again.

The sun gradually sets from directly overhead.

Until dusk fell and the surrounding stalls began to close their stalls, he did not receive a "understanding" person.

In the end, the onlookers, with confusion and regret, finally walked away and went home.

Seeing that Xia Feng hadn't opened the shop all afternoon, the old man selling candied haws next to him counted out 5 copper coins and handed them to Xia Feng with a smile.

"Young man, please accept this money."

Xia Feng turned his head in surprise when he heard the sound.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

"Oh, thanks to you, I sold more than 30 candied haws on a stick today. Can I discuss it with you? If you come back tomorrow, I will continue to sell it next to you."

Xia Feng was not polite and gratefully accepted the old man's money.

"No problem, my stall will be bound to you from now on."

"That's great, then I will pay you 5 copper coins every day."

"No, just give me a candied haws from now on."

"Okay, thank you very much."
