Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

Ling Yao never thought of himself as a character.

As long as people live long enough and have seen enough, they will naturally develop a way of dealing with the world.And what he has more than other people in this world is only his age and experience that ordinary people can't understand.

Although he doesn't like the way of hypocrisy and pretentiousness, he is very good at it-he knows very well what kind of face and posture he should show if he wants to get along in a place like the black market where the dark tide is surging and the knife is hidden in a smile.

It's like he's not really interested in gambling stones, and he doesn't want to bump into Lin Tianyu himself in this kind of place, but with his current identity and personality, he should show appropriate contempt and curiosity, as well as ignorance and confidence Only with the safest attitude can we get into the busiest and most chaotic occasions with the safest identity, and obtain the most valuable information most easily.

As for whether or not to communicate with the people in the Qi Refining Hall, and how they would treat him if he didn't explain, it didn't matter.

He is a very purposeful person.As long as the other party does not challenge his bottom line, he will not put excess energy on irrelevant people.

The black market in this world is similar to the underground market in Mansun World. Wealth and violence are the main tone here, and businesses with gray and black edges circulate here.

"Can't we take a detour? Do we have to go this way?"

He looked away from the gate of the arena, covered his nose and said,

"It smells disgusting."

Not the taste of blood, but the "smell" of people.It was so disgusting that he even had the illusion of dreaming back to the big world of Mangsheng.

It's really strange.Breaking free from the world of the jungle, he yearns for a comfortable and peaceful life; on the contrary, an idler living in a stable and peaceful world, is so obsessed with the blood and violence of the jungle.

Is it because of the "siege" effect that people always yearn for what they can't get; or is it because these people stand on the sidelines and have nothing to do with themselves, so they can be unscrupulous?

Just like the complaining servants who "watched" him coldly and was almost killed by Tian Xi and Ling Xingran, even worse?

"Hey, what kind of place do you think this is. If they were outside, they wouldn't dare to play like this. Of course it's a bit bigger here. Anyway, it's your wish. If anything happens, there will be people from the aristocratic family to deal with the aftermath."

Zhang Zhibo—that is, the stall owner, a middle-aged man wearing an octagonal hat, a green military uniform, and a stubble chin, rolled his eyes, as if he was talking to Ling Yao about an extremely precious trail information,

"If you don't like it, don't say it here. Those gangsters, who else in the black market is not afraid of them? Even if you are not afraid, I am very afraid..."

Qin Bai listened to the stall owner finish what he wanted to remind Ling Yao in a few or two sentences, and thought that this person was a good person, but he didn't know how much Nan Botu could listen to him.But he didn't want Ling Yao to turn his head, so he asked:

"Uncle Qin, our family didn't participate in this thing, did they?"

This question really does not pick the occasion.Seeing Ling Yao's "innocent face" expression and the stall owner's obviously starting to think about it, Qin Bai could only bite the bullet and respond:

"As far as I know, there haven't been any in recent years."

"Oh, all right."

Ling Yao narrowed his eyes, smiled and rubbed his hands together.

Others only thought that he was happy that his family did not dabble in the illegal business of the arena, and they were a little bit bred to be innocent and innocent.Zhang Zhibo thought about one more thing, but luckily he deliberately took a detour to find out the other party's preferences, so he got one more piece of information.No matter which aristocratic family this guy is from, he should not have any crooked thoughts in the future.

Only Ling Yao knew that it was not an "accident" at all to be injured or maimed in such a place, who could use money to solve the problem.What needs the aristocratic family to come forward to deal with the aftermath is definitely involving human life.

But once human life is involved, no matter how much "you love me" is invalid-after all, buying and selling human organs was "you love me" at the beginning.Don't you all know what kind of black industrial chain it will develop into in the end?

What's more, Lin Tianyu is now flourishing in the black market, even if he didn't directly participate in these illegal transactions, at least he was an insider who turned a blind eye.Those masterminds behind the scenes are probably some of his friends, some informants, some noble people.It is also a good thing for Ling Yao to be able to break the arms of these people.

Anyway, he has decided that as soon as the matter is over, he will find an opportunity to collect some evidence, send out the news here, and let the police take all these "dens".If the Nan family hadn't been involved in it, there would be no need for him to kill "kinsmen" righteously, then everyone would be happy.

Ling Yao didn't care that the boys in the Qi Refining Hall were about to blow up but didn't dare to blow up after seeing him almost revealing the truth without knowing it, and reminded them of fear.These young boys who have just entered the society are very rigid. They are afraid that if they make a wrong move, they will cause disaster, but they don't know the truth of talking to people and talking to ghosts.

As a new face, in addition to being deterred by force, he also needs some identity background to make his actions more reasonable and convenient.The current state of ambiguity and dread is what keeps Zhang Zhibo most curious, he feels that he has something to gain, and he is also vigilant, not daring to dig holes for them.

Of course, he didn't have the time to tell a group of brats about the big issue of messing around in society, so he just patted his butt and slapped Zhang Zhibo to lead him the way.

Zhang Zhibo didn't dare to neglect, he was still talking and laughing, but he quickened his pace and led him to the quarry.

Compared with the arena, this place is also very lively, but after all, it is a little less bloody, and it is indeed more suitable for "rich and idlers" like them.Ling Yao walked around the pile of stones with his hands behind his back, and soon knew how Lin Tianyu made money here.

He thought it was quite technical, but when he saw it, it was just looking directly at it with his fucking eyes!

Not to mention that Lin Tianyu practiced the set of internal cultivation skills praised by [No such person] as the unique BUG in the world. It is him, a person who has just come into contact with zhenqi, who can see through the surface stones at a glance whether there is a bug inside. Jade!

Although his current ability is limited, he may not be able to distinguish the best jade, so he dare not say that he can make a lot of money here by relying on this ability.But with his eyesight, making a casual five-figure sum is a piece of cake.

But when he thought about it, he could understand it.No matter how poor a normal qi refiner is, he is someone who can be regarded as a guest of honor in an aristocratic family. Isn't five-figure pocket money easy to grab?How could it be possible for a poor boy like Lin Tianyu who "has become a monk halfway" and refused to cling to others, to come to a dangerous place like the black market to stare at stones just for a few money?

And ordinary qi refiners may be the same as him, that is, they can tell whether it is waste or not, and they are lucky if they earn tens of thousands at a time; but Lin Tianyu is a protagonist who is cheating anyway, and he can definitely tell the fineness of jade directly. Just pick it up.Convert a bicycle into a motorcycle in minutes, easy and stress-free.

No, there was a roar of applause in the quarry soon.Ling Yao looked in the direction of the stall owner's finger, and sure enough, he saw "Tian Yu" called "Jewel Eye" at a glance.

Ling Yao had just arrived and was not familiar with the jargon. Hearing the dialogue on the other side, he didn't understand what they were making a fuss about.Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhibo immediately gave him the cause and effect of "popular science":

"The one who met Gemstone Eye was the eldest son of the Li family. Some time ago, he accompanied his girlfriend to play stone gambling, and it was the first time he bumped into Gemstone Eye to show off. That woman probably knew Tian Yu at first, and she was very surprised when she met him. He soon started to be absent-minded. The young master of the Li family is rich, but his appearance is a bit... Seeing the little beauty I have been chasing for half a year, when I turn around, I see a dress that is not as expensive as a shoe of my own The young handsome guy immediately took his anger out on Tian Yu and insisted on making a bet with him.

"In the end, he is a master of stone gambling, and he was slapped in the face after a few hits. That one, he didn't get any benefits, and he also lost the face of the boss in front of everyone..."

"So he remembered his grudge, and prepared to hire experts and bring money to get back his position?"

Ling Yao raised his eyebrows, gloating,

"I remember that in the Li family's generation, he is the only one who can handle things? But he won't really want to hand over the family business to such a...cough. Right?"

After Zhang Zhibo heard the first half of the sentence, he thought it should be true, and then flattered the other party to guess correctly, but he didn't expect the other party to jump to the Li family as soon as he changed the subject, and he was so scared that he fell silent.

And the boys in the Qi Refining Hall standing behind you look at me and I look at you, with a sentence written on their faces——

What kind of upstart you are, a dandy nouveau riche who slaps other heirs in public regardless of the occasion, what right do you have to laugh at others for being unsteady and brainless!

Qin Bai, on the other hand, glanced at Ling Yao, seemingly in deep thought.

To put it bluntly, even if "Nan Botu" is really an unsteady and brainless dude, it will be harmless to the Nan family; and Li Jiahe from the Li family... People who lose their minds when it comes to women will be doomed for the Li family.It's okay if Ling Yao wants to laugh at the other party now.

But the problem is...the Li family is not just Li Jiahe's grandson.

Li Jiahe has two younger brothers who are about the same age, and their academic qualifications and reputation are also very good.And Li Jiahe's personality is well known to everyone.Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, it is more likely that his two younger brothers will inherit the Li family in the future.

If he hadn't inquired about information for the Nan family, he wouldn't have known that one of Li Jiahe's two younger brothers was seriously ill and unable to work, and the other was devoted to the music career and didn't care about anything. Instead, Li Jiahe became the only heir of the Li family to choose.

Then how did Ling Yao know?Did Nan Guozhong tell him?But why did Nan Guozhong tell him so much?

If it was just a vague guess before, at this time he has faintly noticed the truth

——If it is said that Nan Guozhong is still hesitating between Nanbozhan and Nanbohong on the issue of the successor of the Nan family, then the "Nanbotu" is the only thing on the side of the Qi Refining Hall...

Qin Bai didn't know why. The new doubt he had at this moment was not whether Ling Yao could manage the thorns and old fritters in the Qi Refining Hall, but because, with this guy's character, he would really be willing to stay in the Nan family, do you manage the Qi Refining Hall for the Nan family?

"What kind of game is this today, tell me?"

Ling Yao didn't seem to care about the impact his few words had on the people around him, but he poked Zhang Zhibo's back with his elbow, his face seemed to be full of excitement,

"Bet on who opened the jade rare, or the total price is high?"

In fact, he wasn't curious at all, let alone excited—anyway, no matter what the game was, he would win by cheating, and there was no suspense at all. How could his mood fluctuate!

Zhang Zhibo showed a mysterious expression:

"Of course—none of them. What they are looking for today is a priceless treasure. The boss said that there is only one stone in today's batch, which is the rhyme white jade that contains the energy of heaven and earth. It is a treasure that even qi refiners covet They all said that the reason why gemstone eyes are so powerful, that they can distinguish between stones and everyone, is nothing more than relying on the ability of the qi refiner. The rhyme white jade is not something that ordinary qi refiners can see at a glance.

"And I heard that the eldest young master of the Li family paid a lot of money today, and invited a famous Qi refining master! And this is talking about gambling stones, but in fact, it is fighting for the cultivation realm of both sides. ! Not only must you have eyesight, but you must also have the ability to keep the treasure! This alone has attracted so many people to watch today!"

However, Ling Yao caught a glimpse of the eyes of several people in the Qi Refining Hall behind him, their eyes sparkling.It can be seen that this rhyme white jade is indeed a good thing.

However, this also raises new questions:

"The owner of the gambling quarry knows that there is white rhyme jade in this batch, so he is willing to pull it out for others to gamble on? If it were me, I would definitely seize the whole batch, open the stones here one by one, and find out the white rhyme jade. No matter how high the auction price is, it will make more money than people gamble for fun like now, and it will reduce the risk."

"This...probably the boss is not a qi refiner himself, and he doesn't lack the money, so he just wants to make fun of it. Moreover, the relationship between this piece and the auction house is so-so. If he really wants to put it up for auction, maybe they What hands and feet will you move?"

Zhang Zhibo's eyes fluttered, and he smiled ambiguously.

Ling Yao glanced at him up and down, until his face became tense, and then he uttered:

"So that's the case. Then this boss is really generous."

Even if the boss here is not a qi refiner, if he can be the leader here, how can he not have a few qi refiners around him to protect him?For treasures like Yunbaiyu, instead of exchanging them for the money they don’t lack, it’s better to exchange them for the real strength around them, or...

Win over favors from other Qi refiners.

Obviously, the boss of the stone gambling field, knowing that Lin Tianyu is talented and sure to win, is giving favors to others without any trace.

Zhang Zhibo is obviously an insider, so he hesitates and hesitates to tell the truth—if he really wants to tell the truth, the victory and defeat in front of him today, the excitement that attracts people's attention and even arouses the impulse of consumption in all parties, is not just Became a deceitful joke?

However, this also shows that there is indeed something he wants to get in this line...

Although Zhang Zhibo felt that his explanation was enough to turn the matter over, and he couldn't see what Ling Yao's eyes were like through the sunglasses, but he felt that the other party didn't believe a word.

Could it be that he guessed wrong, this is not the Fourth Young Master who the Nan family picked up halfway and didn't understand anything at all?

Or is it that the people outside have misjudged him, and this master is just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

...heck.This guy, he probably came here for himself from the beginning...
