"That... Wow, that knife is the product of all my hard work. Can I buy it with gold?"
"Okay, come on, I'll give you a quote."
The long list of astronomical figures frightened He Cheng He Qu. He pursed his lips as if he was about to cry, silently took off the lotus leaf on his head, then held the small bag hidden under the lotus leaf in his hand, opened it and said with a hum: "I... don't have enough gold, so I can only use things I picked up. If you don't mind..."
She took out all kinds of treasures from her small bag, including night-shining pearls, dragon scales, and radiant corals. The pile of treasures formed a small hill, which made Lin finally realize that there is always a mountain higher than the other and that bullying kappa is not a good idea.
However, He Cheng He Dou himself did not think so, his face was full of shame: "Except for those shiny ones, the others are just rags I picked up but couldn't bear to throw away... If you like them, I'll give them all to you."
"Broken...broken?!"
It took Rin a long time to understand the fact that Kappa only liked glittering treasures and ignored other more valuable things as junk. Rin tried hard not to show his nouveau riche face, and frowned with a look of disgust that made Kawajo Hedo's heart tighten.
"Well... never mind. Seeing that this is your first time doing business, I'm sure the Kappas must have had a hard time. I'll just accept the junk reluctantly, but the rest are my investment, so I should at least take a share, right?"
"Hey?"
The Kappa, who was originally surprised, shook his hands in panic: "Not now, I have to go back and discuss with other companions."
After much persuasion, a deal was finally reached. Rin exchanged a pile of junk for a bunch of rare treasures. After Kawashiro Hetori left, he finally couldn't hold back his expressionless face and burst into laughter.
The mysterious merchant incident that was triggered this time... is a huge profit!
There are all kinds of treasures in the mobile phone, and many of them can directly increase his current level of control over "Qi" by a large margin.
Rin loved this group of cute kappa so much that he took out the communicator that Kawajo Hetori gave him, feeling very happy, and continued on his journey.
Ps: Well, the stories in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio took place relatively late. Now it’s just after the early Tang Dynasty, so Empress Qing’e is still the early Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 45: Cheating Money and Sex to Become a Star (Reward for Extra Updates)
After being some distance away from Kappa, Lin remembered that there was something important he had not done.
However, it is not very urgent at the moment. Once Kappa Heavy Industries develops electronic technology, we can pre-order mobile phones. If that doesn't work, kidnapping a group of moon people to research mobile phones and games is also a good idea.
I feel that I have gained a lot today both materially and spiritually. My mood value remains at MAX and does not drop. I walk along the river bank with music playing on my phone, and by the way, I see if I can pick up a carp spirit, clam spirit, snipe spirit, alien spaceship, etc.
Well, then by fooling these silly boys and girls in the river, maybe you can get priceless benefits.
Facts have proved that even with such incredible luck from the Lucky Plug-in, the maximum amount of wealth that a monster could earn in one day is the amount accumulated over at least ten thousand years.
By the evening, it was already dark, and Lin only picked up a giant conch, which he didn't know whether it had become a spirit or not. Anyway, that was tonight's dinner.
Clean the conch meat and cut it into pieces. Find a high-temperature salamander skin from your phone's space and cover it with tin foil. Prepare the seasonings, add fruits, vegetables and other side dishes, and then wait for the meal to start.
After dinner, I sat there with nothing to do, so I sorted and classified the treasures I had obtained from the legitimate business in Hecheng Hequ.
He could recognize less than one-tenth of them, and the rest had all kinds of strange shapes. He didn't dare to play with or eat them, so he could only throw them back into the space equipment and ask the knowledgeable Sister Zi about it someday. He recognized the others roughly based on their shapes.
Of course, there are some special ones, such as a golden sea cucumber. Just touching it can make you feel that the "qi" is very full, and it also increases the amount of qi he can control. Of course, this sea cucumber has now been cut into several pieces and stewed by him.
The first day of the trip was so fulfilling that Lin was full of expectations for future training.
……
At dawn the next day, Lin packed up the tent and sleeping bag and started the second day's journey.
Not too far along the river bank, the river converged and forked into a small stream among the mountains and forests. Lin opened the map on his phone to check his location, crossed it, and entered the dense forest.
This was not the first time that Lin entered the forest, and he was aware of the danger. Therefore, he forced himself not to play with his phone or listen to music, and always paid attention to the surrounding environment. He also had a few triggered magic scrolls on his waist.
The deeper you go into the forest, the more humid the air becomes and the lower the temperature becomes. Even though there are many evergreen trees, most of the trees are covered in withered yellow clothes.
After walking through the forest for a whole day, they encountered several monsters. The strange thing was that they seemed to have urgent business and did not pay attention to Lin, but ran in one direction.
It would have been fine if it was just one or two, but encountering several of them with the same look aroused Rin's curiosity.
At night, they wanted to set up camp and have a good rest, but they encountered a large number of at least 20 little monsters heading in one direction.
He felt that the monsters might be gathering together to take drugs, gamble, and so his curiosity overcame his avoidance and he followed the monsters all the way.
After two or three hours, we gradually flew out of the forest and came to an endless plain.
Not long after wandering on the plain, the monsters stopped and gathered around a huge ancient tree, surrounding the tree in circles. There were about one or two hundred of them. There was only one expression on their strange faces, that of awe and fear.
Lin stood on a tree farther away, looking through the telescope at all the monsters. Judging from their appearance, there were no more than ten that had transformed, and the rest were basically small monsters.
After looking through the telescope for a long time, there was not a single threatening monster. It seemed that they were gathering together, waiting for a more powerful monster to appear. Rin was also waiting silently to watch the fun.
Based on the knowledge about the levels of monsters that Youxiang had instilled in him, Rin made a comparison and found that those that had not yet transformed into human form were low-level monsters, commonly known as experience slimes, while those that had transformed into human form had particularly obvious characteristics that could not be disguised, and were low-level monsters.
Of course, some monsters like to show their racial characteristics to the outside world, and usually like to leave a tail and ears, etc., but this cannot be counted. The low-level monsters mentioned here generally refer to those with incomplete transformation, except for monsters like fox monsters who are born with a superb talent for transformation.
In other words, this group of monsters gathered under the tree are at most low-level monsters, and the monster they are waiting for should not be able to steal much.
Lin waited for a long time but did not see the leader appear, and soon the group of monsters began to squeak, howl and meow, which made him feel strange. He moved the super telescope closer again and looked carefully. Finally, he found a little bird on a branch blocked by leaves.
Its body is too small and its color is not bright, so it is indeed difficult to find among the leaves. In addition, it has not transformed into a human form, so it neither stands out nor is it intimidating among a group of monsters.
Lin observed the little bird carefully. It had a peculiar appearance, especially its wings. It looked more like a bat's wings, with the fleshy wings replaced by fluffy feathers. It did not look like any other bird he knew.
No one knew what it said, but the monsters surrounding the tree looked terrified and even wanted to die. A few small monsters on the periphery even tiptoed to leave.
According to the law of the jungle, could it be that this strange bird is planning to eat other monsters?
Lin became more and more certain in his heart. He was not interested in such bloody and cruel things. Feeling quite bored, he was about to put away his telescope, but the strange bird standing on the tree branch flew to the ground and transformed into a human form.
She had dark pink hair, and the huge wings behind her were very obvious because she turned into a human form. Rin felt that she looked very familiar no matter how she looked at her, but she couldn't remember her name for a long time.
I searched my memory carefully, thinking back to the leaders of Gensokyo one by one, and finally I suddenly realized it.
"Isn't this Youyouzi's spare food?! That nightbird, um...what's its name? Mi...mi...Little Broken Bone!"
Lin, who was feeling smug about finally figuring out who the other party was, compared Xiaosuigu's fighting ability with his own and found that he was weaker than himself, and he was even happier.
Today's Rin is no longer the naive girl he used to be. Since he went back more than a thousand years ago, his skill tree as a working man has finally been opened. Although he is not proficient in it, at least he has gotten the hang of it.
Based on his own social experience, Lin thought carefully for half a minute and decided to jump down and catch Xiao Sui Gu to blackmail and cheat him to see if there would be any unexpected gains.
However, before he could get close, Nightbird opened its mouth full of affection amid the despair on the monsters' faces.
Behind her, a giant snake beat the bark of the tree with its tail in a rhythmic rhythm.
The rhythmic singing voice spread out, and Rin could hear it clearly even from two kilometers away.
Her song was full of dynamics and her speech was fast, it sounded very much like modern pop music. Behind her, several snakes that had not transformed also began to twist their bodies and dance.
This should have been a nice little concert, but before it could last even half a minute, the monsters surrounding her started going crazy one by one, roaring without warning and fighting each other, throwing punches and teeth at each other.
The scene was extremely chaotic. Only a dozen monsters could still move normally to the beat of the drums beaten by the snake monster. The main types of monsters were snakes, scorpions, bats, and spiders.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that the normal ones are monsters that have not yet transformed and still have biological instincts, and have no hearing and rely on other senses...
Lin was startled by this discovery, and then he found that his blood was rushing up and his mind became a little confused. He quickly took out a cool silver clam from his mobile phone. His confused mind suddenly became clear and his heart calmed down.
In fact, it is also possible to isolate it by manipulating "Qi", but Lin is too lazy to do it and doesn't want to waste it, so it would be easier to use external objects.
The poor little monsters went crazy due to the singing and attacked more and more fiercely. After the song was finished, they were still not awake and were still tearing and biting.
After recovering from his ecstatic singing, Little Broken Bone looked forward to seeing the reaction. His originally bright eyes turned dim and dull after seeing the scene before him.
"Hey...it's always like this. Is my song so bad that it drives people crazy?"
She turned around with a sad look on her face and looked at the giant snake that was spitting out its tongue foolishly: "What do you think?"
The snake had no hearing and could only rely on its instinct to sense the outside world. It slapped the ground with its tail, at a loss as to what to do.
"Clap clap clap."
There was a sudden sound of applause. Ye Que turned around curiously and saw a human boy falling from the sky to the ground, clapping his hands and making crisp sounds.
"Is it... human?"
Compared to other monsters who always think about having sex with humans, Yaque is a rare special monster that hates humans. The moment he saw Rin, his brows frowned.
"Little Broken Bones, you sang well and have great potential as a singer."
Rin's words stunned Ye Que, who was originally disgusted and ready to drive the boy away. In just a few seconds, he turned excited and happy. He took two steps forward and covered his chest: "You...you said I can be a singer, right! Human, you are not lying to me, are you?!"
"Uh... well, to be honest, the singing is not bad. At least it suits the taste of us young people more than the current tune of moaning and groaning."
The straightforward praise made the night bird curl its eyes happily, flapping its wings and spinning in the sky to express its joy. It took a long time before it landed on the ground, smiling widely.
Seeing her so excited, Lin nodded with a smile. What he just said was not a lie. He really felt that a slightly faster pace would be more suitable for young people.
"Ah, there are some pretty good human teenagers out there! It seems like you humans still know how to tell the truth."
So for you...the compliments to you are the truth?
Lin complained silently in his heart, but his face remained expressionless: "To be honest, I think you should find a team, sing two more songs, and wear more revealing clothes... Never mind, I'll give you a microphone and accompaniment, and after some packaging, you should be able to debut as an idol singer."
Lin stroked his chin and added seriously, "It would be great if I could have some connections with high-class SS club members. It would not be impossible for me to evolve from an idol singer to a talented singer! I could also take on TV dramas and make some money from some crappy commercials, emmmm."
Night Bird didn't understand a thing he said and could only guess a little. He blinked his big watery eyes and looked at the "scout" in front of him, his joy was beyond words.
However, Lin changed the subject and his tone became serious and deep: "But you still lack a lot. If you want to become a top-notch singer, you need to learn and improve a lot!"
“Please, please give me some advice!”
Night Bird, whose intelligence was not high, was instantly fooled and confused. All he could think about was the Avenue of Stars. He did not feel at all how strange it was to be suddenly and awkwardly penetrated by a stranger.
Seeing that Little Broken Bone had already gotten into the role, Lin nodded with satisfaction, thought about his plan in his head, and continued: "First of all, you don't have a good amplification device, so your singing voice can't be transmitted farther, and the sound heard a little further away will lose the original high-definition sound effect."
"Secondly, your clothes and styling are too ordinary and don't make people feel bright."
"Thirdly, the music created by drum beats alone is too monotonous and too rigid. A good accompaniment will also determine a good song. This is where singers need to pay special attention."
"In the end, it's because you chose the wrong song! Look around you, it's because your song doesn't suit their taste that they've gone crazy like they've taken drugs, so it's important to create songs that are acceptable to the public!"
“Only after you overcome the above four points can you become a real singer!”
Ye Que lowered his head and pondered these words. He showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, looked at Lin excitedly, and knelt on the ground for a long time: "Please give me some advice, senior!"
It took only three minutes for him to transform from a disgusting human being to a respected senior. The attitude changed so quickly that there was no transition required.
This is exactly the case, and it also indirectly shows that most of the monsters nowadays, even the monsters in the future, have some problems with their brains.
Rin resisted the urge to grab her wings, knock her out and lock her up to give her to the future Yuyuko to improve her favor. Instead, he helped her up and said earnestly, "The first point is easy. I have such a tool here, but it is priceless. If I just give it to you for nothing... it would be unfair to its preciousness."
As he spoke, Lin raised the loudspeaker, turned it on and let out two loud roars.
Specially designed for King Yanluo, the super modified loudspeaker can indeed shout in different directions. Just two shouts can calm down those mad monsters, making them stand there in a daze.
This strange effect made Ye Que believe Rin's nonsense even more. She stared at the loudspeaker in his hand, her face a little red, and rubbed her clothes back and forth with her fingers, even her toes were twisting restlessly.
"Um...um...I, I don't have any money..."
"How can such a thing be measured with money!" Lin was "furious", and finally revealed his sinister side. "At least it should be exchanged with treasures of equal value, or a few treasures at a discount would be fine."
The night sparrow, who was almost scared to tears by his roar, was like a roasted bone on a barbecue waiting to be seasoned. His eyes were red. "I... I'm just a night sparrow, where did the treasure come from!"
She didn't look like she was lying, so Lin made a "tsk" sound and turned his head away to hide his disgusted look.
Kappa is as rich as a country and has everything he wants. You are at least a mid-level monster, but you are so poor and yet you can become a small leader. How has the monster world fallen into the state it is now? !
Think about it, although Yeque is as poor as Reimu now, he has lived longer! When he returns to the future, he will have accumulated a lot of wealth over a thousand years! This loan shark is worth it!
So he patted Ye Que's shoulder again with a friendly look and said, "Money is something outside of one's body. It's just a small matter. You see, I can help you with the second and third items. Only the fourth item, composing songs, is the most important. Generally, singers need to travel around the mountains and rivers to collect inspiration, and they also need to listen to other people's comments in areas where people come and go or where there are monster secrets, so as to gain insights for themselves."
"What the senior said makes sense. I really can't become a first-class singer if I stay in a small corner like this."
"Well, let's do this. First, you should start by hiding in the city. I will invest in you to do some business in the Monster Market. First, you can understand the philosophy of life and find inspiration. Second, you can also get everyone's evaluation and inquire about interesting stories about monsters, gods, ghosts, and Buddhas. Third, you can make money."
As he spoke, Lin shook his megaphone and said, "Although it is priceless, we are destined to be together, so I will give it to you at a discount, just 99999999 gold, with a daily interest rate of %. Or you can return it to me when you have a treasure."
Little Broken Bones was so moved that his wings were trembling. The look he gave Lin was as if a thousand-mile horse had met its master, and the words "great benefactor" were clearly written in his eyes.
"Senior... that's too good, woo woo, otherwise I'd better repay you with my body. Senior, what kind of posture do you like, what type of collar and mouthpiece would satisfy you?"
"reject!"
I just want the baby!
Lin righteously rejected the money-for-sex transaction and said earnestly, "As a monster, you should have the dignity of a monster. How can you sell your body? Let's put it this way. You owe this contract, which is roughly equivalent to an IOU. The repayment period is 1,500 years. During this period, in addition to giving you 100 gold living expenses every year, the rest of the money you earn or the treasures you get are mine. Do you understand?"
"One hundred gold! That's a lot!"
The extremely poor Ye Que said that she had lived for hundreds of years but had never seen so much money. Then she saw that Lin actually gave her 50 gold to start a business. She shed tears and took the unequal treaty that Lin had quickly written and signed her name.
