The three of them originally thought that eating as mushroom people might be a bit weird. But when they actually sat down and tasted the food, the three of them found that it was not much different from eating as human beings.
Moreover, the upgrade of Jiang Yue's copying skills allows them to completely simulate all the living habits of mushroom people. Except for the memory that cannot be transplanted, all other physiological habits are completely without any discomfort.
The pleasure the food brought them eased their sleepiness a little from the long journey.
Especially the fruit wine, which is somewhat different from the red wine and white wine in the surface world, but has a unique taste. The combination of good food and good wine gives them a strange enjoyment in the territory of the Earth Core Clan.
Unfortunately, this enjoyment seemed unable to last and was soon interrupted.
Jiang Yue had already seen someone approaching their table through his borrowed perspective.
Ten seconds later, a wretched-looking creature from the Earth Center Clan came to Jiang Yue's table with a shrewd and wretched smile.
"Three Mushroom brothers, do you mind if I, a brother from the Purple Rat Clan, interrupt you?" This brother who calls himself the Purple Rat Clan is really a deer-headed rat with eyes, and his two beards make this shrewd and cunning person perfect. clear and direct.
Purple Rat Clan.
Jiang Yue had some knowledge before and knew that the Purple Rat Clan was the best at doing business among the many races in the Earth Center Clan. In this castle, many shop owners are from the Purple Rat Clan. There are also many traders from the Purple Rat Clan active in the hall.
This race is naturally good at doing business.
Jiang Yue never expected that the three inconspicuous mushroom men they copied would attract so many people's attention.
Ordinarily, they are just three ordinary mushroom people, and their presence should be very low. Why are you always being targeted?
If the previous provocation and bullying by the lizard people while queuing was just an accident, then what is the reason for this purple rat clan to come to your door?
Jiang Yue was neither salty nor cool, and his face deliberately showed a hint of repulsion and caution: "We mushroom people don't have any special dealings with your purple rat tribe, right?"
The little eyes of the Purple Rat Clan rolled around a few times, and they said with a smile: "But there is no enmity, right? Our Purple Rat Clan has always only done business and never made enemies. Don't misunderstand me, brothers. I don't have any ill intentions. Everyone. Everyone knows that the Purple Rat Clan is a peace-loving tribe."
Speaking of the Purple Rat Clan, they are indeed a peaceful and prosperous group, and they are indeed not the kind of domineering group. But to say that this group of people are good people is not necessarily true.
Jiang Yue put down the wine glass calmly: "Don't beat around the bush, what do you want?"
The purple rat tribe member chuckled: "You three should know that you have offended the armored lizard men before. I will not speak ill of any tribe behind their backs, but this matter is definitely not over. I believe that the three of you should also know it."
"What do you want to say, don't beat around the bush." Jiang Yue frowned.
"Haha, brother, you are not like a mushroom man. There are few in the mushroom tribe who are as impatient as you." The guy from the purple rat tribe chuckled.
Hearing Jiang Yue's casual joke, Jiang Yue's heart sank slightly. Did this guy see something?
If you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be the case. The copying skills have been upgraded to this point. Unless these three mushroom people are close relatives and friends who get along day and night, they may detect some flaws in their conversations.
It is absolutely impossible for a Purple Rat tribe businessman to discover their secrets by chance.
Besides, if a flaw is really discovered, it is absolutely impossible for the Purple Rat Clan to talk nonsense with them with a playful smile. I am afraid that the fierce fighting teams in the castle will have already surrounded them.
Although the Earth Center Clan does not seem to be very harmonious with each other, they even dislike each other, and there is no close relationship.
But when it comes to the humans on the surface world, they can definitely put aside all prejudices, reach unity in an instant, and speak to the outside world as one.
Soon, Jiang Yue also saw the joking tone on the other person's face.
However, Jiang Yue also secretly warned himself that he really couldn't take things lightly, and he couldn't be careless about any details. If you don't pay attention to even the slightest detail, it may become a flaw.
At that moment, he said calmly: "The mushroom man has a good temper, but that doesn't mean he has no temper. The lizard man bullies others too much. Your Excellency came up to make sarcastic remarks for no reason. Do you think we still have to speak softly to you and smile at you?"
The guy from the Purple Rat Clan was also somewhat surprised.
Although they don't have much contact with mushroom people, mushroom people are really not a bloody race. It is the first time for the Purple Rat Clan to meet such a proud and tempered mushroom people.
However, there are thousands of different people, so this one from the Purple Rat Clan didn’t think too much about it.
Hehe smiled and said: "Brother, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to say anything sarcastic, nor was there any hostility. I'm not here to strike up a conversation on behalf of the lizard people."
Jiang Yue kept a straight face and said nothing, waiting for the other person to say more.
"Brother, you must know that the only thing the Purple Rat Clan is interested in is doing business. Brother, I just came here to do some business with you."
"I'm sorry, mushroom people don't know how to do business, and they don't understand business. I'm afraid you've found the wrong person."
"No, no, no, maybe the mushroom people don't know how to do business, but brothers, you are different. If you have rough stones on hand, then they are my potential customers. Brother, I have to curry favor."
"Haha, do you think we have a lot of rough stones?" Jiang Yue asked with a sneer.
"If it were other mushroom people, I definitely believe that you would not be able to have a second rough stone. But brother, I am still willing to look forward to it." This guy from the purple rat tribe had a wretched smile on his face, but his words were right. He was very sure, as if he was certain that Jiang Yue must have other rough stones.
"Sorry, no. I got this one by luck. If you want to find the original stone, you should look for those powerful ethnic groups, not our timid mushroom people." Jiang Yue refused to be found thousands of miles away.
The appearance of the first rough stone has already caused some trouble, and it is obviously troublesome. It was naturally impossible for Jiang Yue to take out a second rough stone.
Isn’t it troublesome enough?
A rough stone costs 800 silver coins. There are countless greedy guys in this castle who have already targeted them. Taking out the second rough stone is not equivalent to a child holding the gold on the street, waiting for others to come looking for trouble?
This guy from the Purple Rat Clan looks like a piece of purple potato, so he probably has no good intentions.
Even if it's just for business, wouldn't it get them into trouble? If Jiang Yue takes out a second rough stone, or even makes others think that they have a second rough stone, it will be a big trouble.
The man from the Purple Rat Tribe seemed to understand Jiang Yue's thoughts and did not give up. He kept insisting: "Brother, don't refuse in a hurry. Previously, at the window of the trade union, businessmen like us did not dare to openly compete with the trade union for business, but Now that we have left the union window, I think brothers might as well listen to our offer?"
"No need. For small characters like us, the probability of getting a second rough stone in this life is very small. Even if we are lucky enough in the future, we may not be able to encounter it again. Therefore, any quotation or no quotation is all false. ,Meaningless."
Of course Jiang Yue would not listen to any quotation. If he acted like he wanted to hear it, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling others that they really had a second rough stone, or even more than just a second rough stone.
Of course Jiang Yue would not make such a low-level mistake.
"Hehe, I understand all your concerns. Don't worry, brother, I am not a lone traveler. I have a business firm behind me and I am very powerful. If you, brothers, can become our customers, I guarantee that our business firm will take care of your safety. Guaranteed.”
After all, this guy still doesn't give up.
But no matter what it said, Jiang Yue remained indifferent and refused to fall into this trap.
"I appreciate your kindness. Unfortunately, we really don't have any extra rough stones. I'm sorry to let down your kindness. Please take it back."
The Purple Rat Tribe is indeed a businessman. After being rejected repeatedly by Jiang Yue, he still refused to give up. There was not even the slightest hint of impatience or anger on his face.
Still with a smile on his face: "It's easy to talk, but if the business doesn't work out, we can still be friends. In short, my door is always open for you. If you can't figure it out, or have other ideas, you can always come to me. By the way , like the rough stone that your trade union just traded, we can give you 1,200 to 1,300 silver coins. This is not a deliberate price increase, it is the rough stone that is worth this price."
Jiang Yue chuckled: "I've sold everything, and now I don't have any regrets to take. Once the money and goods are gone, it's impossible for the union to return it to us, right?"
The guy from the Purple Rat Clan laughed, but didn't continue to stalk him.
Instead, he pointed at Jiang Yue's table grandly and said to the waiter in the tavern: "The consumption of this table is mine. Whatever these three mushroom brothers want to order, you can just come up. In the end, the general ledger will be on my head." .”
This person obviously has status in the castle area, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say such grand words.
Who are you, an ordinary person, to hang up your account just as you say? How big is your face?
Being able to close the account shows two things, either you have enough face, or you have enough financial resources.
After the guy from the Purple Rat Clan left, Sangou was a little surprised and said: "This guy has a sinister look on his face. He looks vulgar, but he is quite grand. The deal has not been completed, but he still paid for it for us?"
Jiang Qiao said angrily: "Don't be too blind. The most expensive thing in the world is free. If you eat someone else's food, you might spit it out ten times later."
Jiang Yue didn't say anything. It didn't matter to him whether the order was free or charged. Spending less than 3 silver coins is not a big deal anyway.
He went over the conversation in his mind over and over again. He asked himself and answered firmly, and his attitude was very decisive. But after reviewing it twice in my mind, I was still a little annoyed.
In the end, some flaws were revealed.
His previous refusal was firm enough and his tone firm enough. According to common sense, this can indeed show that they do not have any extra rough stones.
But the problem didn’t come from the front, it came from the end.
Finally, the Purple Rat Clan told their trading firm’s quotation. They could actually give 1,200-1,300 for the rough stone that the union exchanged.
When the other party reported this offer, Jiang Yue's reaction was too calm.
Not only was Jiang Yue's reaction too calm, but the reactions of his father and cousin were also too calm.
None of the three people showed strong annoyance or disappointment at the price difference of several hundred silver coins, nor did they show shock or depression.
It was like a price difference of several hundred silver coins, and they accepted it very calmly.
This too calm reaction was not in line with the identities of the three mushroom men.
It is indeed impossible for a normal mushroom man to own a large amount of rough stones. A rough stone may be a huge fortune to three mushroom people.
Since they may only have this one rough stone in their lifetime, why can they act so calm and calm despite the huge price difference of several hundred silver coins?
Why?
According to normal logic, when faced with the price difference of several hundred silver coins, even if they were not furious, they should at least show a little regret and distress.
He, Jiang Yue, didn't, and neither did the other two.
The three mushroom people are all so calm, which is undoubtedly a huge flaw for the shrewd purple rat tribe.
And the other party's behavior of actively paying for them when they left also proved that the other party had already predicted that they must still have rough stones with them.
If there were no other rough stones, and if there was no strong confidence, how could it be possible to ignore the huge price difference of several hundred silver coins?
Good guy!
Even Jiang Yue had to admire him. This bastard from the Purple Rat Clan was indeed cunning. Even if you know that it has shrewdness and cunning written on its face, even if you are wary of it in every possible way.
However, this conspiracy took over and it still took the initiative and exposed some flaws.
Of course, Jiang Yue wouldn't be upset all the time.
Even if the other party tries something out, so what? As long as he refuses to admit it, the other party cannot forcefully buy or sell.
In this castle, no one has the guts to break this rule. Even the arrogant lizardmen did not dare to attack them openly.
The three dogs were heartless and still enjoyed the food happily.
Jiang Qiao was also a smart man. He sensed Jiang Yue's mood and asked in a low voice, "What? Are you worried about that guy from the Purple Rat Clan?"
Jiang Yue shook his head: "I'm not worried, but this guy is cunning, and I guess he will come back later. Forget it, let's eat first, then find a hotel to stay in. This castle has at least dozens or hundreds of floors, we must find a safe place. The foothold.”
Jiang Yue and the others did not add any extra food in the end. After eating, they planned to pay for it themselves, but they were refused, saying that someone had already recognized the money and they did not dare to accept the second payment.
This gave Jiang Yue and the others a new understanding of the energy of the Purple Rat Clan.
Although the lizardmen tribe looks fierce and arrogant, in terms of energy, it may not be as good as that of the purple rat tribe.
Of course, this is Jiang Yue's personal judgment.
Later, Jiang Yue and the others planned to find a hotel to stay. At night, it would be inconvenient to spend the night in the hall, and they would not be allowed to stay.
If you don't have a place to stay, you have to leave the castle.
When they first arrived, they didn't want to spend a night in an environment full of uncertainty.
Soon, the three of them got a room. It was a suite. It was not crowded for three people, but the price was not cheap, costing 5 silver coins.
