"My name is Chen Xiao. I am Erdong Chen. I am brave and good at fighting."
Chen Xiao put the empty water glass back on the bedside table, wiped the water droplets from the corner of his mouth, and said: "I have no ill intentions towards you, but the premise is that you can keep your promise and not leak my identity."
"Yeah, I understand!"
Zheng Xinfeng nodded quickly, with ecstasy in his eyes and he looked very excited.
Immediately, Zheng Xinfeng took out a piece of white paper, wrote down a series of numbers, handed it to Chen Xiao, and said: "This is my mobile phone number. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time."
Chen Xiao took the white paper from Zheng Xinfeng and put it into his pocket, then a smile appeared on his lips.
"But you can't just forget about studying my body and putting me in an ice coffin."
"You must give me appropriate compensation."
…
"This is what it should be, no problem!"
Zheng Xinfeng was not surprised at all.
He smiled slightly and took a tablet from the bed next to him.
It seemed that he had been prepared before coming here.
After turning on the tablet, many pictures are displayed on the tablet.
Zheng Xinfeng turned the pages one by one and explained at the same time: "Take a look, these are the rare treasures stored in Mubei City. They all have very magical effects, such as this [Crystal Blue Grass]."
"Crystal blue grass is a kind of [mysterious plant] and has the ability to make ice. When the summer is hot, you can plant a few plants at home to ensure you have a refreshing and comfortable summer."
"Another example is this [Gourmet Glove]. It is a high-tech product with recipe AI embedded inside. After wearing it, you can make delicious food from all over the world based on different ingredients."
"[Jade Pure Bottle], an old antique soaked in mysterious radiation, contains nectar, which can heal wounds and diseases, and can also grow flowers and plants..."
"[Dragon Egg], an egg laid by an S-class mysterious creature, but I don't know if it can still be used..."
…
"Stop, stop, stop!" Chen Xiao interrupted Zheng Xinfeng.
Chen Xiao's Adam's apple rolled a few times, and his face became a little ugly.
After a long pause, Chen Xiao's face turned dark and he said, "Why are you showing me these?"
"Well……"
Zheng Xinfeng quickly explained: "Look at which treasures you like, we can take them out from the warehouse and give them to you as compensation!"
"These are all junk things, like crystal blue grass and gourmet gloves."
Chen Xiao looked sullen and said, "I can't turn on the air conditioner in the summer when I'm riding a horse. Can I order takeout for dinner?"
"I want money! Money, do you understand? I don't eat, I don't drink, what I want is money!"
…
"money?"
Zheng Xinfeng was stunned again. He had thought about everything, except that what Chen Xiao wanted was "money".
Chen Xiao is the "ancestor"!
A suspected time traveler, but also the ancestor of a mysterious origin...
The first request he made after waking up was for money?
For a strong person like the ancestor,
What's the use of money?
Isn’t it possible to have as much as you want?
…
This is too abstract!
Zheng Xinfeng's mouth twitched twice.
He prepared everything except money.
Chen Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and asked: "Don't you have any money?"
"Uh...this, this..."
Zheng Xinfeng stuttered a few words in embarrassment, hurriedly took out a few crumpled banknotes from his pocket, and said with a smile: "What about... Look, I only have these three hundred yuan..."
"Fuck, three hundred?"
Chen Xiao turned over and jumped out of bed, his anger bursting out uncontrollably.
In an instant, a chill seemed to sweep over him, and the temperature in the room dropped a few points.
Chen Xiao was furious and his face turned red, "You're going to get three hundred yuan to send the beggar away?"
Zheng Xinfeng's face changed suddenly, and cold sweat kept falling like beans. He stood up in a hurry and explained: "That's not the case! Master Ancestor, don't be angry. How much do you want? Tell me, I will call you right away." Report to the city bureau!”
Chen Xiao first took the coin from Zheng Xinfeng's hand and nodded it with saliva. It was indeed three hundred and sixty-two yuan, with odd parts and even parts.
Immediately, Chen Xiao quickly stuffed the money into his pocket for fear of being robbed.
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes and regained his composure instantly. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "You can give me at least 100 million!"
Zheng Xinfeng was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground.
"How...how much? One hundred million?"
Zheng Xinfeng was about to cry, and said with a grimace: "Ancestor, you can't even raise 100 million even if you sell our Mysterious Investigation Bureau!"
Of course Chen Xiao knew that he was opening his mouth to the lion.
But he just wanted to test the official attitude through Zheng Xinfeng.
Zheng Xinfeng's expression didn't seem to be fake.
Chen Xiao didn't want to force the Mysterious Investigation Bureau on this trivial matter.
then. Chen Xiao coughed twice calmly and asked with a smile: "Tell me, how much compensation do you think is appropriate?"
"Alas." Zheng Xinfeng sighed and said with a complicated expression: "Ancestor, let alone 100 million, we don't even have 10 million. The bureau's annual investigations, research, and battles will consume a lot of money."
"Furthermore, Damaki City has been experiencing sluggish development in recent years, and it has not received much attention from the headquarters... We really don't have that much money."
Speaking of this, Zheng Xinfeng lowered his head, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
"If it doesn't work out, I can only leave this life with you."
…
"Oh, oh, ok, ok, let's see how wronged you are. How much is your life worth?"
Chen Xiao glanced at Zheng Xinfeng and said, "Forget it, let's talk about the compensation later. In short, you can't spend more than three hundred yuan on me."
Just kidding, what is enough for three hundred yuan?
Spend 10 yuan on a bowl of beef noodles, and the remaining money can’t even pay one month’s rent.
However, although Chen Xiao can "blackmail" some money,
But he can't be too greedy.
Because Chen Xiao doesn't know how the officials of this world will treat him,
Although Zheng Xinfeng said that the official had no ill intentions towards him,
Zheng Xinfeng's current attitude is also sincere enough.
but……
Does Chen Xiao dare to bet?
In an unknown environment, facing unfamiliar people.
People can be greedy.
But don't be greedy.
Otherwise, the end will be tragic.
…
Chen Xiao is very cautious.
Zheng Xinfeng also looked solemn,
He took a step back, turned around and left, as if he had made up his mind.
"Wait a moment! I'll be right back!"
Zheng Xinfeng didn't give Chen Xiao time to react.
Chen Xiao secretly said something bad, thinking that he wouldn't scare this guy away by asking too high a price, right?
…
What should you do if you are really scared away?
Chase?
What if you have a falling out and you can't beat the other person?
Codes! It's better to just accept it as soon as it's done.
Three hundred is three hundred, what kind of bicycle do you want?
Chen Xiao subconsciously put his hand into his pocket and touched the more than three hundred yuan that was still warm. He made sure that the money was still there, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I had the foresight to blackmail him for three hundred. At worst, I could run away in advance to avoid Zheng Xinfeng from jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Chen Xiao was hesitating whether to jump out of the window when he suddenly heard Zheng Xinfeng's voice.
"Doctor Song, I am the director of the Mubei District Branch of the Mysterious Investigation Bureau. Can you lend me some money first... Yes, yes, yes, lend me as much as you need, and then issue me a ticket. I will ask the bureau to reimburse you later. , I will return the money to you as soon as possible."
…
five minutes later.
Zheng Xinfeng came back with ten brand-new banknotes.
He walked up to Chen Xiao, forced a smile, handed over a thousand yuan, and said: "Master Ancestor, this is a small token of my filial piety to you. You can take it first, and I will report it to the city bureau later. Let’s discuss specific compensation matters with you!”
"Huh, that's pretty much it!"
Chen Xiao took the money and finally felt at ease.
Afterwards, Chen Xiao showed a satisfied smile and said: "Then let's do this for now. When I go back and find a place to live, I will call you at your number."
"By the way, those crystal blue grass, gourmet gloves, etc. you mentioned just now, give me a few copies when the time comes."
…
"Uh, didn't you just say... that you want to turn on the air conditioner in summer?" Zheng Xinfeng was stunned.
"Turn on the air conditioner, whatever the conditions are."
Chen Xiao glared at Zheng Xinfeng angrily, then stretched out his hand to pull Zheng Xinfeng aside.
At this moment, Chen Xiao didn't want to see Zheng Xinfeng at all.
With more than 1,300 yuan in hand, Chen Xiao was actually satisfied.
No matter what, this is a windfall.
A thousand is never too little,
One hundred million is not too much.
It depends on whether your mind is open-minded or not.
After Chen Xiao left the ward, when he passed the front desk in the hospital corridor, he couldn't help but glance at Dr. Song on duty.
Chen Xiao heard it, and this was the "finance owner".
As for the "branch director" following him, he is just a poor person.
Doctor Song quickly smiled, even though he didn't know who Chen Xiao was.
But can Zheng Xinfeng be an ordinary little person who can follow him willingly?
Chen Xiao smiled and couldn't help but praise: "Well done, you are more sensible than Xiao Zheng."
Afterwards, Chen Xiao walked straight down the stairs.
He didn't know which floor it was, but he was sure to go down the stairs.
As for the elevator?
After experiencing the "elevator accident", Chen Xiao made up his mind to be insulated from elevators for the rest of his life.
Who dares to let him take the elevator again?
He kicked the man into the elevator shaft.
