Chapter 70: Windfall
"What are you going to hire us for?"
The cloaked man couldn't help but ask.
He couldn't resist the temptation of 1,000 gold coins, and he didn't agree to Chen Bing, he just asked first to see what Chen Bing wanted them to do, and then made a decision.
"It's not dangerous, I just want you to help me find out some news about Sun City. Based on the information you have given me, I will pay you accordingly. ”
Chen Bing said aloud.
He didn't expect to hire these people to destroy Sun City, although he had only been in Sun City for half a day, Chen Bing knew very well that the managers of Sun City had absolute domination over Sun City, and if he wanted to rely on these people to destroy Sun City, it would not have any effect, it would only make Sun City more vigilant.
"What do you want to know about Sun City?"
The cloaked man was a little surprised, he also thought that Chen Bing was going to hire them to do some unspeakable things in Sun City.
"Of course, it's some very hidden and confidential information, otherwise it's just ordinary information, how can it be worth 1,000 gold coins. As for what is hidden and confidential information for Sun City, I think you know better than I do. If you have this information in hand, you can choose to trade with me, if not, forget it. ”
Chen Bing didn't answer directly, but smiled.
"Confidential Information...... We do have some, but I'm not in charge of the specifics, and I'll have to go back and check before I can give you an answer. ”
The cloaked man thought for a moment, then replied.
"No problem." Chen Bing nodded.
"You go around the slum and come back here in half an hour. If we agree to make a deal with you, someone will come and message you, and if no one comes within 5 minutes of coming back, it means that we are not going to do this business with you and you can leave. ”
The cloaked man gave Chen Bing an explanation, and then disappeared in a hurry.
Another half an hour...... Chen Bing was a little powerless to complain, but he could only do it.
Looking at the time, Chen Bing continued to walk around the slums.
"You're an outsider?"
Chen Bing came to a somewhat dilapidated area, and some of the surrounding houses even collapsed on the ground, which was considered a slum within a slum.
Seeing him appear, a little boy in sloppy clothes and a little girl in a smaller way glanced at each other, and the little boy plucked up his courage and walked over and asked Chen Bing.
"Yes, what are you looking for me?"
Chen Bing's heart moved and asked the little boy.
"I've got something useful, and if you're willing to pay a lot of money, I can sell it to you."
The little boy hesitated, but whispered.
"Something useful? If it's really useful, I wouldn't mind buying it. ”
Sister, is this the rhythm of walking and meeting treasures?
"This thing." The little boy fiddled in his broken pocket for a moment, then pulled out a round stone.
"Stones? What's the use of this thing? ”
Chen Bing squinted his eyes and asked the little boy at the same time, he didn't think the little boy knew the purpose of the stone.
"No, ......I don't know," the little boy suddenly looked embarrassed when he heard this.
"I don't know, but you still say it's useful?" Chen Bing was immediately happy.
"Of course it worked! This stone is not an ordinary thing, it was found on a skeleton corpse when my sister and I got lost in the underground labyrinth, the corpse belonged to a wanted criminal, and he had to keep this stone when he died, so this stone must be something useful! ”
"I said if you want it, I'll leave if you don't want it!"
The little boy argued, but he also knew that he would not be able to convince these outsiders, and he had already planned to retreat.
Long before Chen Bing arrived, he had sold the stone to several outsiders, but in the end, no one bought it.
"Sounds important, how much do you want to sell it, this stone."
Chen Bing touched his chin, he knew that the little boy was probably not lying.
The underground area of Sun City is huge and complex, like a labyrinth, and Chen Bing has been warned by NPCs before not to enter the sewers, let alone go deeper, otherwise no one else will be able to find the body if he dies.
"10 gold!"
When the little boy heard Chen Bing's desire, he perked up and plucked up the courage to make a price.
"10 gold? You little guy really dare to ask for it, but...... 10 gold coins for 10 gold coins, come, the money will be given to you, and the stones will be given to me. ”
Chen Bing knew that the little boy was opening his mouth in the lion, but he didn't make a counteroffer, but happily took out 10 gold coins and handed them to the little boy.
"Why, is it too much, then less so."
Chen Bing looked at the stunned little boy, the little boy obviously didn't expect that Chen Bing would really buy this stone with 10 gold coins, he originally just wanted to make a high price, and then let Chen Bing bargain, and then he pretended to be reluctant to sell it to Chen Bing at that price, so that Chen Bing thought that he had made it.
This is the way he learned to buy and sell from those adults.
But Chen Bing didn't follow the routine and caught him off guard.
"No, no, it's a stone, I want gold!"
Seeing that Chen Bing wanted to take back the gold coin, the little boy hurriedly stuffed the stone into Chen Bing's hand, and then took away 10 gold coins.
But after taking the gold coin, he looked at it carefully and worriedly, worried that the gold coin was fake.
"It's not fake, you have to be careful with so many gold coins, don't let people find out, otherwise you won't be able to keep them."
Chen Bing glanced at the little guy and told him.
"Thank you!"
The little boy confirmed, it didn't feel like a fake, he pulled the little girl to bow her head to Chen Bing and thanked him, and then ran away.
Well, it feels really good to be a fortune boy once in a while, no wonder there are many local tyrants who like to do charity in reality.
"This is the stone of the Magic Stone Civilization, if you read it right, this is a key?"
Glancing at the time, Chen Bing rushed back to the alley that he had promised.
At the same time, he carefully examined the stone he had just bought.
The stone has no additional properties and looks like a normal stone.
But Chen Bing has been studying the magic stone civilization for a while, and he can see at a glance that this round stone is engraved with the unique patterns of the magic stone civilization.
According to Chen Bing's understanding, these lines are used to make keys.
knew that it was a key, but where the key was, Chen Bing didn't know.
But 10 gold coins is not much, and there is no place to spend the gold coins on him, even if he can't use them to buy them, Chen Bing doesn't care.
And there are very few things in the game that are completely useless, and this kind of key is even more so, if Chen Bing is active in Sun City, this key will be able to be used sooner or later.
"Enter the waterway from here, go to the sewer in the north direction, turn left when you come to a corner, and as long as you keep moving forward, you will meet us."
Chen Bing returned to the alley, and after a while, someone came over and stuffed a note in his hand.
After a glance, Chen Bing jumped in from the sewer on the side.
The light in the sewer was very dark, but since it was daytime, there was still a faint light, which made Chen Bing visible.
