Hunting High School

Chapter 173: Prelude To The Tide

Look back to the present.

Amidst Dr. Xiao Da's complaints, the young public finance student finally gave up on continuing to supervise the preparations of the dressed mice, stretched the faintly visible folds of the new robes caused by squatting, and hurriedly ran out go.

In fact, he quite likes to observe the various details of a strange civilization. If he hadn't been busy right now, he would definitely hold his notebook and squat next to these mice for an afternoon.

Maybe after today's opening ceremony, you can try to ask Dingdang Ears to visit their Rat Clan settlement again. Didn't you say that the Rat Clan will come to a big shot today, and when the time comes, I will compliment that big shot, and I can't say anything about him. Wishes will come true.

With this little thought, the public fee student raised the corner of his robe and stepped over the threshold.

It was less than a quarter of an hour before Si time.

Even in the middle of winter, the sun had to climb out of the horizon, revealing its naked appearance, hanging in the gray-white sky, and shedding some very pale sunlight.

Although it was dull, it was sunshine after all, and the glaring feeling made the wizard squint his eyes slightly.

The sound of congratulations from the neighbors, mixed in the bustling noise of the commercial street, reached Zheng Qing's ears, causing the corners of his mouth to part involuntarily, revealing a bright smile.

The stimulation of the light faded, the wizard opened his eyes, and immediately noticed the guests who had arrived earlier.

"Welcome, welcome..." He bowed and walked two steps with a smile on his face. According to the rules, as the legal representative of 'Ding Ding Finance and Pesticide Company', only he is qualified to welcome guests and said to a skinny old man wearing a gray Taoist robe : "You came here so early!"

The skinny old man walking towards him was none other than Mu Mingzi, the neighbor of d&k and the owner of the shop at No. 98 Pedestrian Street.

Whether you are moving to a new home or opening a new store, you will inevitably have to deal with neighbors. Zheng Qing also sent people early to send invitations to several shops around d&k, inviting them to attend the opening ceremony this morning.

Whether others come or not is their choice.

But whether to send invitations or not is a matter of attitude towards doing business.

"You can't do it earlier," Mu Laodao waved his hands. Although he came to congratulate him, his face was not a bit happy. It looked like a piece of dried and cracked wood, and his expression was a bit rigid: "...I sat at Grandma Crystal's place yesterday. After a while, she said that your place will be very lively today, come early, make a difference, and it will be easy in a while."

These words, said with Mu Mingzi's expression, have the feeling of "early death and early life". It gives people a feeling that he is not here to congratulate, but to add trouble.

Zheng Qing caught a glimpse of Zhang Jixin's blushing face, and immediately glared at him, then said haha, and said to a figure behind Mu Mingzi's old Taoist priest, "Grandma Crystal, you are here too! Hurry up, come on, please... Xiaodian." On the first day of the opening, there is nothing to entertain, each guest can receive a standard-level 'Meditation Talisman', there are only 100, first come, first served!"

"You two have come out on top!" Xin Fatty also yelled from the side, congratulated, and at the same time hurriedly sent two red envelopes wrapped in talisman paper, and then turned to call the elf: "Tea!"

Grandma Crystal is the owner of the shop at No. 96 on the Pedestrian Street. She runs a shop that specializes in divination and psychics.

Although she claims to be a mother-in-law, but judging from her face, she is only thirty or forty years old at most. Her oval face, curved eyebrows and blue eyes, coupled with her fair skin, made her look a bit delicate.

When Zheng Qing met this neighbor for the first time, he directly took this young 'mother-in-law' as a shop assistant, and made a big joke.

I don't know if it is influenced by Mu Mingzi, those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black; or it is a common problem of fortune-tellers. Granny Crystal's personality is also somewhat restrained. There is always a fist-sized crystal ball floating in front of her. No matter when and where, most of her attention stays on this crystal ball. When looking at people, her eyes are always a little cautious, and she will go away as soon as she touches them.

"Thank you." After receiving the red envelope from Fatty Sai, she lowered her head and thanked softly, then followed Mu Mingzi slowly to Zheng Qing's side, and stretched out her hand to stuff a small wooden box into the wizard's arms: "Gift .”

Zheng Qing hesitated for a few seconds, then opened the wooden box directly according to the habit here.

Inside the box was a light blue crystal ball the size of a fist. The spherical surface is smooth and there is no trace of flaws. Under the sunlight, three intersecting bright lines appeared on the surface of the crystal ball, dividing the whole ball into six parts of equal size.

"Hey, you've made a lot of money!" Mu Mingzi's surprised voice came from beside him. Obviously, he didn't expect Granny Crystal to give such an expensive gift.

Xiao Xiao was also attracted by the movement here.

He held the wooden box, looked it over, and then explained with a serious expression: "This is the favorite beryl crystal ball of old-school fortune-tellers. It is very well polished... so we can see the interlaced lines on it. Light. If I remember correctly, the price of such a crystal ball in the market is more than 30 jade coins."

Hearing the price, Zheng Qing shook his hand and almost knocked the wooden box in the doctor's hand to the ground.

Thirty jade coins!

As a publicly funded student, his one-year scholarship is only ten jade coins!

Even for the shop behind him, the annual rent is only forty-five jade coins!

As for the standard talisman he gave Granny Crystal, the wholesale price at the Wandering Bar is a golden bean per piece. In other words, one of his golden beans turned into three hundred golden beans in the blink of an eye.

Money grabs don't get any faster than this.

Happiness is so sudden that for a few femtoseconds, the first thought in the wizard's mind is to sell the crystal ball, open another store, and hold another opening ceremony. This time, he will spread invitations all over the pedestrian street .

Of course, this delusion was suppressed by his rationality in the blink of an eye, and sank into the deepest abyss of consciousness.

As the saying goes, you don't get paid for nothing.

Also, offering courtesy without reason is either rape or stealing.

Although Grandma Crystal doesn't look like a traitor or thief, Zheng Qing feels that she should be more considerate when she comes out of the ivory tower and faces a strange society and neighbors.

"This gift is a bit too expensive!" He closed the box and stuffed it into Granny Crystal's arms: "You are already giving us a big face by coming here today... What more gift do you want?"

"Really? Then I don't need to give gifts?" Mu Mingzi next to him asked with a dull face. Zheng Qing felt that if his expression was more vivid, the effect might be better.

Of course, several young wizards ignored Mu Mingzi's old-fashioned 'cold jokes', but looked at Grandma Crystal eagerly.

"Gift." Granny Jing didn't pick up the wooden box, but slipped a step back silently, letting go of Zheng Qing's outstretched arm.
