"Little brother, what do you think of my proposal?" Tian Jiu looked at the remaining dry food in his hand, and kept thinking about the transaction process with Tong Bo just now in his mind.
"Let me sell three bags of grain?" Tian Jiu asked in an incredible tone: "You, you want me to give you eight taels of silver to rush to the first place?"
"How about it? This is an excellent opportunity for you to make a comeback!" Tong Bo smiled and put the silver in front of Tian Jiu.
"C-can..." Tian Jiu stuttered, looking hesitant.
"Little brother, you have to be sincere when talking to me!" Tong Bozai leaned close to Tian Jiu's ear and whispered: "At least don't pretend to be so stuttering."
"You!" Tian Jiu paused and responded in a low voice: "How did you figure it out?"
"Do you still remember the first round when Lu Shaoyun sold dry food for four taels a bag of silver?" Tong Bo said with a smile: "At that time, I wonder what the little brother was thinking at that time?"
"Hesitant, very hesitant." Tian Jiu saw Tong Bo's deep eyes and finally stopped hiding anything.
"Very good, I finally told the truth." Tong Bo nodded: "Then I will tell you that a bag of dry food is too expensive for four taels. If it is four taels, I will buy it."
"Are you telling me?" Tian Jiu, who was no longer submissive, his thoughts were also spinning very fast.
"Otherwise, do you think Lu Shaoyun is really willing to sell dry food to me?" Tong Bo said with a smile: "But being able to follow this step and ask for Lu Shaoyun's dry food shows that there is still something to say between you and me. "
"Terrible! I thought I would get dry food, but also push everyone's hatred to this guy, but I didn't expect that everything was in the opponent's calculation." Tian Jiu couldn't help feeling chilly.
"Little brother, are you thinking that it is dangerous to sell such important dry food?" Tong Bo asked again when he saw Tian Jiu was silent.
"Is this why you tried so hard to get dry food?" Tian Jiu asked back, which was equivalent to acquiescing to Tong Bo's words.
"Compared to dry food, there is no need to say more about the importance of silver; besides, this is a life and death game, and any transaction must have a price to bear." Tong Bo said coldly: "Little brother has already competed with the first place There is a difference of six taels of silver. If we keep cutting off, we may never be able to turn over again."
"Can I not trade with other people?" Tian Jiu was not willing to be manipulated by Tong Bo, and still said harshly.
"If I were Lu Shaoyun, and I was asked to take away two bags of dry food, I would definitely hate you to the core!" Tong Bo said.
"Then you lost eight taels of silver, what chance do you have to make a comeback?" Tian Jiu asked.
"Of course, there are additional conditions for trading with me!" Tong Bo whispered a few words into Tian Jiu's ear again.
"This?" Tian Jiu's expression suddenly changed after hearing Tong Bo's conditions.
"This is a battlefield. The more you fear the dead, the faster they will die." Tong Bo looked at Tian Jiu's face and added softly.
"Okay, I promise you!" But these words like a heavy hammer seemed to wake up Tian Jiu and made him determined to complete this transaction.
"The collection of dry food has been completed!" Lu Qin's voice brought Tian Jiu back from his thoughts: "Now is the time of punishment. The people who need to take the Simoxiao Tiandan are He Zhong and Tian Jiu."
"Tian Jiu? Why Tian Jiu?" Everyone was in an uproar, especially Lu Shaoyun, who almost pointed at Tong Bo and shouted: "This is blatantly shielding him."
"Protecting him?" Lu Qin sneered and signaled to Zhao Fei with his eyes: "Sir, please show everyone the Xiangyun and Tianjiu transaction documents."
"Yes!" Zhao Fei took out the transaction book between the two, walked up to Xu Yunjin, and said with a smile, "I wonder if you would mind reading this transaction book?"
"I won't mind!" Xu Yunjin didn't want to know the reason. He took the transaction book and said loudly: "Tong Bo paid six grains of silver to buy three bags of dry food from Tianjiu. After the two of them agreed, they signed and pledged, and the money was paid!"
"Six taels, three bags of dry food?" Lu Shaoyun was stunned and asked loudly: "Then why does he only have twelve taels of silver left?"
"Shaoyun, please be patient!" Lu Qin said, "Keep listening."
"In addition, Tong Bo will give two taels of silver to Tian Jiu." Xu Yunjin looked at the transaction book, paused, and continued reading: "In exchange, Tian Jiu must take his turn to be punished here!"
"Absurd?" Seeing that Tong Bo escaped punishment, Lu Shaoyun was furious: "Do the rules allow this?"
"The rules only say that each person can only trade money and food once per round, but there are no restrictions on other things." Lu Qin looked at Lu Shaoyun coldly: "So this transaction does not violate the rules. "
"Exceptor, it's almost time to start the third round." Even though Lu Shaoyun was angry, he had nothing to say. When everyone was silent, Zhao Fei reminded him in time.
"Well! Before the third round of the game starts, two notaries will announce everyone's current money and food status." Lu Qin said loudly.
"Tian Jiu, twenty-four taels of silver, two bags of dry food plus two yuan!"
"Lu Shaoyun, twenty-two taels of silver, two bags of dry food, and a female contract!"
"Qiu Dahai, twenty-two taels of silver, two bags of dry food!"
"He Zhong, eighteen taels of silver, four bags of dry food!"
"Tong Bo, twelve silvers, five bags of dry food plus one yuan!" Zhao Fei and Si Ruoshui told the current situation of several people.
"The third round of the game has officially begun." Lu Qin shouted loudly after Zhao and Si announced everyone's money and food status.
"Exceptor! Although the meal is good, I always feel that something is missing?" As soon as Lu Qin finished speaking, Wei Hanwen tapped the plate lightly with the chopsticks in his hand.
"Hahaha! How can someone outside of me not know what Mr. Wei means?" Lu Qin patted his hands a few times, and several boys in white placed the wine utensils on the tray in front of several people one after another as before.
"Is this wine the fragrance of flowers?" Xu Yunjin just poured out a few drops of wine from the wine set, and a strong mellow aroma spread out.
"Mr. Xu is indeed an expert!" Lu Qin nodded, stood up and said, "Please have a drink, you're welcome."
"W-what's wrong with me?" Tian Jiu, currently ranked first, felt dizzy and almost unsteady on his feet.
"Little brother, be careful!" Tong Bo seemed to have expected it, and helped Tian Jiu in time!
"You just did the transaction of transferring punishment rights for two taels of silver! Did you know this would happen?" Tian Jiu's face turned pale.
"That's not important. What's important is that it's uncomfortable to be hungry, and you'll die if you're extremely hungry!" Tong Bo said in a low voice.
"Damn it!" Tian Jiu didn't care to talk to Tong Bo anymore and quickly put two scattered pieces of dry food into his mouth.
"Exceptor! Doesn't Tian Jiu look good?" Zhao Fei also noticed Tian Jiu's strange appearance and said softly to Lu Qin.
"Sir, have you ever been hungry?" Lu Qin looked at Tian Jiu and asked.
"No!" Zhao Fei shook his head blankly.
"That's right, how can anyone who has never been hungry understand the pain!" Lu Qin sighed softly.
"Why?" Tian Jiu ate two pieces of dry food and regained his energy: "Of course I know the feeling of being hungry. I haven't had a grain of rice or a drop of water for three days. Why is this happening?"
"Then you should know that three days is a watershed!" Tong Bo laughed softly: "Once a person does not eat or drink for more than three days, although he will not die, his own reaction and consciousness will decline rapidly, and you have After this experience, you will be able to endure hunger better than the average person, but there is one thing you may not have noticed."
"Didn't you notice anything?" Tian Jiu clenched his fists and asked unwillingly.
"Why do you have to serve everyone food after the first round, and why do you have to serve everyone wine after the second round?" Tong Bo said softly.
"The old guy in the seat has been complaining!" Tian Jiu just said this, then he seemed to wake up: "Is this all?"
"Yes! It's all part of Yuanwai's calculation." Tong Bo said with a smile: "At the end of the first round, I and my little brother both drank the four-day elimination pill. Together with the one I drank before the start, it was two days. Before eating, what would happen if the aroma of food enters your taste buds?"
"It's like an ant nest appearing on a thousand-mile long embankment, slowly being eroded." Tian Jiu understood the problem after Tong Bo's suggestion.
"Well, that's right!" Tong Bo said with a smile: "If you say that the fragrance of food is the slowly eroding ant nest, then the fragrance of the flowers is the executioner who caused the causeway to collapse."
"So that's it!" While Tong Bo was talking to Tian Jiu, Lu Qin was also explaining his plan to Zhao Fei: "But it seems that Sir Mouyin has also thought of this."
"That's natural. This trick can't escape his eyes." Lu Qin said with a smile: "Otherwise Xiangyun wouldn't have used two taels of silver to let others take the Simoxiaantian Pill on his behalf in the second round."
"If not eating for three days is a watershed, then if you don't eat for five days you will be on the verge of death." Lu Qin continued: "And the aroma of this food and the aroma of flowers and fairy fragrance can increase The effect is two days.”
"The ones ranking high will be threatened by running out of dry food, while those ranking low will be threatened by starvation to death." Zhao Fei said with lingering fear.
"How can a game other than my own be so easy?" Lu Qin snorted coldly.
"Lack of food, hunger!" Tian Jiu murmured: "Although we are ranked first, we are now on the verge of danger. All this is thanks to you."
"Didn't you take advantage of the previous deal with Lu Shaoyun?" Tong Bo smiled and said, "We are even now."
"Master Lu, I'm afraid that guy He Zhong has a different intention!" On the other side, just as Lu Shaoyun was looking blankly at the two bags of dry food left in his hand, Qiu Dahai came forward.
"Dahai, what do you mean by this?" Lu Shaoyun asked.
"In the round just now, I wanted to sell a bag of dry food for one tael of silver, but He Zhongnas said for some reason that you had already bought the dry food for two taels of silver, and you couldn't break the rules, so he accepted me for two taels of silver. dry food!" Qiu Dahai said: "I'm still thinking, when did He Zhong become so kind? Now it seems that he deliberately made the amount of money and food for us the same and did not get the reward of dry food."
"He Zhong, this bastard!" After hearing Qiu Dahai's words, Lu Shaoyun was furious: "What should I do? What should I do?"
"Shaoyun! Don't run out of food before the end of the game. It would be too boring!" When Lu Shaoyun was in a mess, Lu Qin actually laughed.
