- The restaurant was very quiet. No one knew what this person was doing here looking for the man named Zhang Tie, so everyone was watching without saying anything.
Amidst a lot of strange looks, Zhang Tie stood up calmly and walked towards the young man. When Zhang Tie stood up, the young man's sharp eyes were fixed on Zhang Tie's face. When Tie Ke looked at him without fear, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Zhang Tie walked up to the young man and called out obediently, "Cousin!"
"Okay, very good!" The young man nodded, and placed a hand heavily on Zhang Tie's shoulder without politeness, "Let's go out, let's talk!"
The two people came outside the restaurant.
"I received a letter from home today, and I learned that you have also come to Qianlong Hall. How are you? Are you still adapting to the life here?"
"It's not bad. I went to Tieshitan to fish for aquamarine iron ore today and made five silver coins!" Zhang Tie touched his nose.
"Don't underestimate this task, practice your water skills well. When you arrive at Lingtian Court, you will find that there are more places to use money. For newcomers, one gold coin per day is not so easy to earn. There will be many more opportunities to make money after the hospital!¡±
"Is there any other mission to salvage anything in Lingtian Courtyard?" Zhang Tie asked curiously.
"When we arrive at Lingtianyuan, there are no longer mandatory tasks to earn money, but there will be some fixed tasks to obtain family contribution points. At that time, if you want to make money, you will have to rely on your own ability. There is a lot to make money in the sea. It¡¯s a place, but it requires a person¡¯s water skills. If you practice your water skills well now, you won¡¯t be in a hurry in the future!¡± Zhang Tie¡¯s cousin warned seriously.
"Thank you, cousin, I know!"
"You and I are brothers. Don't be so polite!" Zhang Tie's cousin smiled, "By the way, what kind of fighting spirit are you practicing? When you reach the sixth level, I will personally take you to the island dragon cave to focus on fighting. gas!"
"What I practice is the iron-blooded fighting spirit!"
"What?" Zhang Tie's answer shocked his cousin slightly, "Okay, if you are ambitious, even in Qianlong Hall, there are very few people who can master the iron-blooded fighting spirit in the past few decades, but this sect It is extremely difficult to practice combat qi successfully. You'd better set a time for yourself. If you still can't practice it within two years, it's better to change your fighting qi practice and practice high-level combat qi later. That¡¯s it! Otherwise, if you wait too long at level six, it will be detrimental to your future development!¡±
Feeling the kindness of his cousin, Zhang Tie nodded. He did not show off that he had encountered almost no obstacles in practicing the Iron-Blooded Divine Fist, but humbly accepted the suggestion. "knew!"
Zhang Tie¡¯s cousin continued. "There are steps to the sky in Qianlong Hall and many opportunities that can change your destiny, but these things are prepared for the truly strong people who can stand out in Qianlong Hall. These opportunities can only be obtained by yourself. No one can help you. Within one generation, there are not many brothers like you and me who can enter the Qianlong Hall at the same time. This means that the excellence of our family is very noticeable. Your relationship cannot be kept secret here, so you will receive more attention here. In Lingtian Courtyard, I have an opponent who is also a cousin who entered the Qianlong Hall together. Both of them were brutally beaten by me before. After dealing with it, you don¡¯t have to worry about it now in Zhixingyuan, they can¡¯t do anything to you, but when you enter Lingtianyuan, they may come to trouble you, so you have to be mentally prepared.¡±
Zhang Tie was a little stunned, "Do they still dare to do harm to me?"
"That's not the case, but they can use some of the rules in Lingtian Court to beat you into a pig's head openly and often!"
"Ah" Zhang Tie was a little dumbfounded. Does this mean that he has benefited from this cousin?
Seeing Zhang Tie's eyes, Zhang Tie's cousin smiled sheepishly, "When those two brothers came to Qianlong Hall, they were also very eye-catching and their attitude was a bit arrogant. I couldn't stand it, so I used the rules of Lingtian Court to beat those two people into pig heads. At that time, I didn't expect anyone in my family to be able to enter Qianlong Hall, so"
Zhang Tie understood, because this cousin often beat others into pig heads, and now it was his turn to be beaten into pig heads.
While they were talking here, Zhang Tie had already seen two people walking into Zhixingyuan. One of the two people was eighteen or nineteen years old, and the other was about the same age as his cousin. Their faces were somewhat similar. As soon as they walked in Zhixingyuan, the two people walked directly towards him.
"Zhang Su, I heard that one of your brothers has entered Zhixingyuan, is this the one in front of you?"
The four eyes of the two people who came over were immediately fixed onIron body.
Zhang Tie's cousin Zhang Su turned his head and looked at the two people walking over with a look of disdain, "This is my brother Zhang Tie. Why, do you want to see who will beat you into pig heads again in the future?" What does it look like?¡±
Zhang Tie found that his cousin's mouth was indeed quite maddening. Even though he was in a disadvantageous position, his mouth was still unforgiving.
The smiles originally on the faces of the two guys suddenly stiffened, and their faces turned red with anger at Zhang Tie's cousin's words.
"Don't worry, after your brother Zhang Tie enters Lingtian Court, we will 'guide' him!" The eighteen or nineteen-year-old man said through gritted teeth.
¡°I forgot to tell you, my brother is practicing the Iron-Blooded Fighting Spirit, so don¡¯t be timid when the time comes!¡± Zhang Tie¡¯s cousin still said arrogantly.
"Ha" The man who was about the same age as his cousin looked at Zhang Tie contemptuously, as if he had heard a joke, "Do you want to use this to delay time in Zhixingyuan? This trick is too inferior. Is this interesting?"
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it. Besides, how can you know if you don't try it!" Zhang Tie's cousin said lightly.
"Hahahaha It seems that you have great confidence in your brother!" The man who is about the same age as Zhang Tie's cousin smiled and rolled his eyes, "Zhang Su, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
"What are you betting on?"
"I'll bet on whether your brother can master the iron-blooded fighting spirit!"
Zhang Su hesitated slightly
"What, don't you dare? Is your confidence in your brother just lip service? Or is it true that your brother just wants to use this to delay time in Zhixingyuan?" The man further irritated him. "How about I pay 300 gold coins to bet that your brother can't master the iron-blooded fighting spirit? Do you dare to pay 300 gold coins to bet that your brother can definitely master the iron-blooded fighting spirit?"
"300 gold coins?" Zhang Su looked at the two people and frowned slightly. This number is nothing outside Qianlong Island, but it is not a small number for people who enter Qianlong Hall. It is not easy to earn this kind of money on Qianlong Island, even in Lingtianyuan , many people may not be able to earn so much money in half a year, and the gold coins he can take out now are only a little more than 200. He knows that this is a trap set by the guy opposite him, just because he wants to Put him in a dilemma.
"Ah. By the way, I almost forgot. It's so difficult to practice Iron-Blooded Fighting Spirit. How could I take advantage of you like this? It seems like you don't have that much money. If you have confidence in your brother, I'll give you some mercy. . As long as you can offer 200 No. You can only offer 100 gold coins, and the bet will be established. One will lose three, what do you think?" The man said in a fake tone.
"300 gold coins is 300 gold coins. Whenever I, Zhang Su, need someone else to give in, I'll bet on it!" Zhang Su raised his head proudly. It's OK to lose the battle, but you can't lose to others. This is Zhang Su's belief.
"Okay, how long do you want to give this brother of yours?"
"Two years. Before we leave Qianlong Hall, if he can't develop the iron-blooded fighting spirit, I will lose!"
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
Zhang Su and the man high-fived each other and made a bet.
Seeing that the bet was signed, the two men glanced at Zhang Tie, smiled contemptuously, and were about to leave.
¡°Don¡¯t leave yet, wait a moment!¡± Zhang Tie, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
The two men turned their heads and looked at Zhang Tie.
"I will also participate in this bet, and I will also bet with you. I bet that I will definitely be able to develop an iron-blooded fighting spirit!"
"What are you betting on us for?" The man looked at Zhang Tie from head to toe.
"I'll bet 300 gold coins with you too!" Zhang Tie said calmly.
"Hahahaha, on Qianlong Island, do you, a newcomer, have so much money? Don't go home and cry and ask your parents for money if you lose. The rules in Qianlong Hall mean that every penny spent here Money, even if it is a bet, must be earned by yourself. How much money have you earned now, so you dare to bet 300 gold coins with us? This bet is not open to credit!" The man continued to look at Zhang Tie with contempt, "Young man. , It¡¯s easy to talk big, but you have to see if you have the strength. Do you want to tell me that if you lose, you are going to salvage 300 tons of aquamarine iron ore to make a bet for me? Hahaha "
"That's exactly what I think! I bet you, if I lose, I will salvage 300 tons of aquamarine iron ore for you. If I don't complete this bet, I will never step out of Qianlong Island in this life." Zhang Tie He said calmly.
The man¡¯s laughter suddenly stopped. At this moment, the three people with six eyes were all staring at him.On Tie's side, even Zhang Tie's cousin Zhang Su looked at Zhang Tie seriously, as if he had gotten to know Zhang Tie again.
"Do you have the guts to take my bet?" Zhang Tie looked at the man.
"It's a joke, what do I dare not do, but if you lose, I don't have the time to wait for you to salvage sea blue iron ore for ten or eight silver coins every day to repay the debt. When that time comes, what you salvage every day will The money you earn from ordering aquamarine iron ore is not even enough to pay the daily interest of 300 gold coins. If you salvage aquamarine iron ore on the island for 20 years, will I have to wait for you on the island for 20 years? ? What if you can't pay it off in your life? Who should I ask for? If you want to bet, of course you are betting on real money. If you want to bet on nothing, there is nothing so cheap in this world! Do you think it is easy to earn 300 gold coins on Qianlong Island?" the man said with a sneer.
Zhang Tie didn¡¯t expect this guy to be so shrewd, ¡°Then what do you want?¡±
"It's very simple. Since you want to play, the money you bring out will naturally count. Before you reach level six and try to gather your fighting spirit, I will continue to tell you how much money you can make by salvaging aquamarine iron ore. ¡¡±
"Okay, then it's settled,"
"Zhang Tie" Zhang Su wanted to stop Zhang Tie.
"Cousin, you dare to place a bet of 300 gold coins for me. Don't I dare to place this bet on myself? If I lose, I lose. It's nothing special. I just want to catch Hailan for a while longer. Iron ore should be used to practice water resistance and to strengthen your body. Today, when my cousin and I met for the first time, we bet together with him. Father and son went into battle, brothers fighting tigers. We lost and won together. It¡¯s like keeping company with my cousin!¡±
"Okay!" Zhang Tie's cousin's eyes flashed. I applauded loudly. I didn't expect that my cousin would have such courage and courage. It would be interesting to be a brother with such a person.
"Heyhey, I'll let you two brothers lose everything together this time!" The one clapped his hands and agreed to Zhang Tieshen's gambling request.
"Everyone knows that it is difficult to train the iron-blooded fighting spirit. The odds between you and my cousin are unfair. My cousin was squandered by you so much that he was betting against you one to one. Me. I am small and have a small face, so I'm not that big. You're very particular, but you're not a person who likes to suffer losses. Let's just make our bet at the odds of one to three you just said. If I win, how about you compensate me three times the bet? "Zhang Tie smiled and suddenly dug another big hole for that man.
That person didn¡¯t expect that Zhang Tie was also a shrewd person and would not suffer any losses, however. Three times The man's mind was racing. In this way, after all calculations, the comprehensive odds between him, Zhang Tie and Zhang Su in this bet were one to two. What the opponent wanted to practice was iron-blooded fighting spirit. It is famous for being difficult to practice. Even in Qianlong Hall, it seems that no one has been able to practice it in these years. With this odds, I actually took a big advantage. If it had been anyone else, it would never be possible for me to bet like this. . But this guy is a little too calm, and there seems to be something wrong
"Why, don't you dare? Except for the royal family of the Norman Empire, in the Hawaiian subcontinent, the probability that others can develop iron-blooded fighting spirit is less than one in ten thousand. The original odds of such a bet It is fair to pay at least one thousand to one. Our odds are three to one. For the sake of everyone entering Qianlong Hall, I have already given you more than 300 times the odds. Do you want me to do it again? Even if I give you a little more, I can give you 400 times. Even if I am new to Qianlong Hall, even if I am not yet level six, even if I don¡¯t have much money, I still have this respect for the elderly and love for the young. "Yes, do you want me to give you a little more? How about 500 times more?" Zhang Tie looked at the man with disdain, treated him the same way, and with the same words, he ran away from him. Even if he has to step down, he suddenly has the upper hand in terms of momentum. Dealing with such people is like dealing with Samira. Zhang Tieke will never be polite to them.
The man gritted his teeth and said, "If you pay three to one, you will pay three to one. I want to see how much aquamarine iron ore you can salvage!"
After also high-fiving Zhang Tie, the two men left. After walking a few steps, the man turned around and sneered, "Iron-blooded fighting spirit is not so easy to develop. Don't change your big words today. It¡¯s better to be a joke in the future!¡±
After the two people left, Zhang Su patted Zhang Tie on the shoulder and said, "Well done! Just do your best, show your manliness and don't worry about anything else. Even if we all lose in this kind of bet, It¡¯s not shameful! I can still afford the few hundred gold coins, so you should regard this gambling as a rare test. Even if we lose this time, we can¡¯t lose anyone!¡±
Although Zhang Su¡¯s words to Zhang Tie were encouraging, he didn¡¯t seem to have much confidence in whether Zhang Tie could develop the iron-blooded fighting spirit. The road ahead of Zhang Tie now, regardless ofThe salvage mission of Hailan Iron, or the iron-blooded fighting spirit that must be cultivated if you want to win. Either of these two things is very difficult to complete. Zhang Tie now has no way out.
¡°Cousin, don¡¯t worry, we will definitely win,¡± Zhang Tie smiled. "Now I'm worried that that guy won't be able to get the gold coins as compensation if he loses!"
"That guy's name is Zhang Haige. He is one of the best at making money in Lingtian Courtyard. He has a net worth of two thousand gold coins and is known as a tough guy. If he dares to default on his debts, I'll see if I don't pluck all his feathers. !¡±
"That's good!"
"And based on my understanding of that guy, he must feel that he is sure to win, and he will definitely publicize the bet between our brothers and their brothers in Qianlong Hall so that everyone will know about it, so that when we lose Can¡¯t deny it!¡±
"Haha, I will let him understand this time what it means to shoot oneself in the foot"
After chatting with Zhang Tie for a few words, Zhang Tie¡¯s cousin also left.
When they returned to the restaurant, Wei Wu and others were very curious about the identity of the person who just came to Zhang Tie.
"That person is my cousin!" Zhang Tie briefly introduced Zhang Su's identity, but did not mention the gambling.
Sure enough, when they heard that two people from Zhang Tie's family could enter the Qianlong Hall, the people sitting with Zhang Tie were very surprised, and looked at Zhang Tie with a hint of curiosity.
After dinner, the girls from Zhixingyuan set up a small stall in the pavilion in the courtyard. On the stall were pairs of beautiful seashells. Among the seashells were seashell oil made by the girls. This oil is used to smear On the face and body, it can prevent sunburn, and it can also play a certain role in the recovery of skin after sunburn.
The seashell oil made by the girls cost 1 silver coin per box. A large number of boys surrounded the girls' stall. They didn't know whether they wanted to buy something or take the opportunity to get close to the girls. Even Zhang Keliang and Wei Wu joined in the fun.
After taking a look at the sky and touching the five silver coins in his pocket, Zhang Tie left Zhixingyuan.
"Zhang Tie" Zhang Yunfei saw Zhang Tie's back and shouted quickly, "The seashell oil here is good. Do you want a box?"
"No, this thing is of no use to me. It's just a waste of money to buy it. I'll go to the pier!" Zhang Tie shook his hand and left. He was joking, did he still need to apply seashell oil to his primary recovery body? He was exposed to the sun during the day. For skin problems, just take a night's rest and you'll be fine. With this little money, you might as well buy a bunch of live seashells and throw them into the sea to see what fruits will grow.
Zhang Tie left, and the girls selling seashell oil glared at his back one by one. This bastard, can he speak? He is really annoying!
Zhang Tie didn¡¯t know that just because of his unintentional truth, he had been blacklisted by the girls.
After leaving Qianlong Hall, Zhang Tie ran away as soon as he thought that he had arrived at the pier on Qianlong Island
¡° If you make a bet, you will naturally win. Your future expenses on Qianlong Island will be determined by this bet.
In the breeze, Zhang Tie felt like he was a little sinister
