It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 548 [197] Kidnappers’ IQ Cockroach Economics

"Brother, do you know that Super Baji has become a large-denomination currency equivalent?"

The next morning, while Linlin was having breakfast with everyone in the new monitoring room, she chatted about the news with her brother who was sitting across the table from her.

Qin Jiandan said: "This isn't strange, is it? That thing is not cheap to begin with, and it has various anti-counterfeiting features..."

Walei sat on the right side of Qin Jiandan. She got up quite early from room 601 of the guest building. Ruishuang in room 602 next door often stayed in bed, and her grandfather Han Tiancheng got up even later. The two of them often missed the special meals in the new monitoring room.

After staring at the food on Qin Jiandan's plate and realizing that there was nothing worth snatching, the white-haired, black-skinned beast girl said, "Linlin probably doesn't mean that Baji can be sold for money, but that some people only buy Baji, right?"

Wangyou and her sisters were carrying dishes from the kitchen, some were operating computers at booths, and some were eating at the table. Now the ones on the table were Lily of the Valley, Cordyceps, and Jasmine, who were always very quiet.

Qin Jiandan asked curiously, "Why don't you charge money?"

A second later he came to his senses: "You are talking about criminals, right? They don't want to use bank cards that can be tracked, and it's difficult to carry large amounts of cash. Super Baji is so valuable that it becomes a substitute."

"That's right." Linlin picked up a piece of sausage cut into small pieces with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. "The day before yesterday, a kidnapping occurred in District 8. The kidnappers didn't want cash, and shouted at the family members to bring three "Steel Armor Paint Deluxe Limited Edition" to redeem the person. Because the limited edition couldn't be collected at the moment, the Nian Society went to suppress it again, and the kidnappers were furious and killed the hostage."

Valei said: "This kidnapper is stupid. The steel armor painted limited edition has been hyped up to 7 yuan each. How can it be so easy to collect three? Don't you want the ordinary version? The official price of the ordinary version is 999 yuan each. Even if it is 1000 yuan each..."

Linlin smiled bitterly and said, "The ransom the kidnappers want is 21. Three limited edition steel armors are easier to get. If it's a regular model, you need 210... It's too inconvenient to stuff them in a suitcase or hang them all over your body."

Valei said, "What about the enhanced version? The enhanced version of Ice and Fire sells for 2999, let's say 3000 yuan, 21 yuan is equivalent to hanging it around your neck..."

Linlin burst out laughing: "Hanging 70 of them around your neck? There's no way that would fit, right? And what kind of shape would that be!"

Vale pretended to flick a pea from the plate onto Linlin's face: "You just said you wanted to hang 210 of them all over your body!"

Qin Jiandan heard Doctor Li talk about Indian mythology. The Hindu immortals are different from those in China. They have no magic power, no attack power, and live the same life as ordinary people, but they have a killer move called "curse" that works all the time, and no matter whether it is a god or a demon, they are not immune. It is said that a god cheated on an immortal, and was cursed by the immortal to have XX all over his body. I am afraid this is similar to the kidnappers described by Linlin and Vale.

Linlin was very careful not to let any food fall on her dazzling red kung fu costume.

"Yesterday was the release day of the online game, and it caused a buying frenzy in both the inner and outer cities. The surrounding factories of the Falling Cherry Blossom Group are working overtime to ensure shipment. The senior sisters also worked hard to get to the top of the rankings. One of them accumulated more than 6000 points in one night!"

Qin Jiandan felt slightly uncomfortable: "What does that mean? Is 6000 points high?"

Vale said: "I checked the Baji website. To get 6000 points, you need to drive at the highest gear for four hours... No, maybe six hours."

Qin Jiandan felt a chill. Even if he had the "Steel Armor Breathing Method" to cheat, it would still cause muscle soreness after 6 hours of continuous breathing. The appetite of the senior sisters is too big!
At this time, Wangyou took the last plate of food and sat on the side of the wooden table, between Linlin and Qin Jiandan. She looked calm, with a slight smile on her lips. Qin Jiandan had not slept with her for a while, and she didn't know how she adjusted her mood.

Qin Jiandan didn't notice that Wangyou was very careful when he sat down. He continued to talk to Linlin and Walei.

"It rained acid again in East City today. The mission of using police dogs to search for explosives will be postponed again. I hope that after the cannery spy is eliminated, there will be fewer bomb demons sent by the Ni'an Society."

Vale felt a little bored, but soon became excited again.

"If you're not going out, just keep teaching me martial arts at the headquarters! I feel like after learning some basic internal strength from you, I've become even more powerful than before!"

Qin Jiandan nodded: "Not impossible, let me take care of some guild affairs first. Linlin, does the master have any instructions? Is there anything on the schedule?"

The girl with the bun-haired look shook her head, and the pink hair on her temples swayed.

"There is no schedule today. Brother, you can go to the east side of the martial arts training ground with Sister Vale. There are many guards in the headquarters who also want to get your advice. By the way, Doctor Li ordered Gesang to be in charge of medical treatment at the martial arts training ground. He keeps transferring the vitality of cockroaches to the guards. The guards all said that it is easier to make progress in training recently."

"That's really cause for celebration." Qin Jiandan said, "If we continue to use them like this, I don't know if there will be enough cockroaches. Maybe one day we will need everyone to collect cockroaches."

After the meal, Wangyou cleaned up the dishes comfortably, and seemed to be in a happy mood and hummed a song. Qin Jiandan didn't know what happy thing happened to her.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Qin Jiandan took Valei to the east side of the martial arts training ground, and the two of them shared an umbrella. Qin Jiandan suddenly remembered that there seemed to be few opportunities for him and Mu Yue to share an umbrella.

"Jealous, huh?" Vale teased, "Mu Yue and I have held an umbrella together many times!"

"Hmph, I'll train you well in the training ground later!"

Passing by the two majestic metal lion statues at the door, Qin Jiandan and Walei handed their umbrellas to the guards at the gate, and they entered this world full of blood and sweat together.

The headquarters guards hone their skills and strengthen their will in this open space. The floor is paved with solid synthetic wood and is slightly worn after years of trampling. It has witnessed countless fierce fights and the unremitting efforts of the warriors.

Acid rain washed the skylights high up, and the fill lights turned on automatically, casting fast-changing mottled light and shadows on the floor. Around the martial arts training ground were various traditional weapons made of special steel, as well as new weapons etched with internal force circuits. The Cyber ​​Dragon Spring Sword Qin Jiandan gave to his master was of this type. Valei threw the two Lingshu maces in his hand into the air and caught them again. She got her Lingshu mace (stolen) from here, which was helpful for novices with insufficient internal force.

"Eh? What is Aunt He doing standing next to the wooden man? Could it be that Aunt He is actually a martial arts master, and you never told me?"

When Walei and Qin Jiandan walked to the wooden man, they found that Aunt He was talking to Gesan, apparently about rheumatism.

"…The rheumatism in my legs isn't serious, but it's been cold lately and I feel a little uncomfortable. Doctor Li often tests his medicine on other people, so I don't dare to go see him. He says your life force transfer is very strong. Can you try it on me?"

A guard brought a folding chair and very attentively unfolded it for Aunt He to sit on. Aunt He was not polite, and she and the maids from the servants' club helped the guards clean up the mess.

Gesang said with difficulty: "Life transfer is generally effective for chronic diseases such as rheumatism. I can't guarantee that it will work immediately."

As he spoke, he searched for cockroaches in his traditional shaman costume and finally found him a tube.

Qin Jiandan happened to walk beside him at this moment and coughed lightly.

Gesang was stunned for a moment, his painted face expressionless, thinking he had done something wrong. Later he remembered that the young master had told him to try to recite some shamanic prayers when treating patients in the future, which might make the patients more satisfied.

So Gesang first rubbed the electronic spirit bead on his wrist with the cockroach tube, and then touched the totem decoration hanging on his clothes, muttering to himself:

"When the sun is shining, the disease will go away... Namunagawu... Spirits of the human world, I pray to you. The ancestors of the bright world will help us... Namunagawu... Evil spirits of the dark world, I order you to return to your entrenched places immediately!"

When he reached the climax of the chant, Gesang held Aunt He's left knee with his other hand and transferred the vitality of the entire tube of cockroaches to her. Aunt He immediately felt a hot presence.

"You are so amazing! Right leg, try your right leg too! You are so amazing, it's a waste of your talent to be the apprentice of that quack Doctor Li! Can your spells use divine power? What does Namunagawu mean?"

In fact, that word was a pronunciation that Gesang came up with on the spur of the moment. It had no meaning and was just meant to scare people. For a simple-minded person like him, it was quite embarrassing.

Qin Jiandan said from the side: "This is a shaman's blessing that contains supreme magic power. Guarbada is a fake shaman, Gesang is the real one! Aunt He, do you feel that your legs are much better than before?"

Aunt He confirmed it and nodded repeatedly: "Yes! It is indeed much warmer!"

In fact, the martial arts training ground is full of men shouting and fighting. Everyone is a heat source, so it is normal for the temperature to be higher than other places.

Aunt He stood up from the folding chair, unable to hide the joy on her face.

"Ge Sang, do you have any tokens for protection? Give them to me... No, you can even sell them to me. You have such strong magical powers, my Buddhist friends must need them too!"

Aunt He believes in Buddhism and will distribute the prayer beads she has consecrated for blessing to people around her, but she is the type of person who will believe in whoever has a spiritual power, so it doesn't stop all the spiritual objects from living peacefully with her.

Although Shamanism is not as popular as Buddhism, Taoism, and Gad in Huanshi City, it still has a small number of believers, and Qin Jiandan discovered some business opportunities in it.

"Aunt He, although Gesang can make shamanic tokens, they need to go through a prayer ceremony before they can take effect, which is quite time-consuming. You go back first, and when Gesang is done, I will personally deliver them to you."

"Oh, it needs to be consecrated, right? I understand! Jiandan, don't forget about this." Aunt He said and left happily.

Watching Aunt He's back disappear at the entrance, Gesang said in embarrassment: "Young Master, I have only studied with the Shaman Uncle for a short time. I can only make a few simple tokens, let alone instill magic power..."

Qin Jiandan lowered his voice and said, "You don't even need to do anything. You just need to admit that you did it. In the future, the clinic will open another business and sell the shaman's tokens as medicine!"

Gesang asked with a bitter face: "Can a token without magic power be sold?"

Qin Jiandan was amused by the other party's honesty: "Do you think the consecrated rosary that Aunt He bought really has magic power? If they are willing to believe, you should sell them something they believe in! What's more, you really have the ability to transfer lives, and you can really make their bodies better! Listen carefully, from now on you will be the chief shaman of East City, and I will kill all other fake shamans!"

"what?"

Vale smiled and said, "Why don't you thank the young master quickly? This is a manifestation of the young master's greater trust in you. If you don't cheat more... and earn more funds, where will Doctor Li get the research funds to continue studying the treatment of phlogiston disease?"

Although it was a little bit inconsistent with his expectations, in order to finally defeat phlogiston disease, Gesan still agreed to the young master's request.

After long-term continuous use, Gesang's cockroach stocks were running out. Qin Jiandan mobilized the guards to catch cockroaches. If there were not enough at the headquarters, they would go outside to catch them, or they could buy them with money.

The poor people in East City, especially those who rummage through the inner city garbage and eat "recycled vegetables", never thought that one day they would be able to make a small fortune by selling cockroaches...
