After the strange tales appeared, even the Dragon Kingdom's giant granaries couldn't keep up with the continuously rising grain prices.
The timely help from the lighthouse and kimchi last time greatly alleviated China's urgent needs.
I thought they wouldn't be able to recover in a short time and wouldn't exchange again.
Unexpectedly, less than a month later, the other party came to visit again.
If you don't come, they might think the exchange rate is too high and should be adjusted accordingly.
However, since they took the initiative to contact us, that's a different matter. It means they still want to continue the transaction, and it also means they can accept the exchange rate from last time.
One hundred thousand catties of rice can be exchanged for one gold coin.
One gold coin!
Director Wang put down his milk tea, and he agreed with what Bai Deng said.
However, even if he didn't expect Ah Xiong to listen to him completely, Ah Long was still confident that he could simply prevent Ah Xiong from selling the gold notes to other countries.
Moreover, Ah Long also secretly gave Ah Xiong a batch of grain for free, so the other party has no reason to pay any attention to these guys right now.
Take a step back and say that.
If Ah Xiong is willing to sell the gold tickets to them, will they come looking for him?
"So? Since you've mentioned Ah Xiong, why don't you go and buy gold tickets from him?"
The three people on the screen didn't look too good, but there was nothing they could do. Ah Long had a monopoly on this thing with an absolute advantage, and there was no other way but to find him.
And money really does work in ghost stories!
It's often said that children are easy to coax, and that's absolutely true.
I was still very angry at noon, but I forgot all my troubles after school in the evening.
Today, Jiang Xiao also plans to teach them a god-level entertainment game to help them pass the time.
Otherwise, neither the teachers and students of Beihai Kindergarten nor the elderly people at Qingshan Mental Hospital could withstand what they were doing.
"Xiaobai, turn off the lights. This game is quite exciting and can't be exposed to light."
Stimulate?
The two immediately got ready and sat down on either side of Jiang Xiao.
"Before we play this game, I have a few questions to clarify with you. Are you ready?"
The two little ones nodded eagerly, indicating that they were ready at any time!
"Are you guys brave enough?"
The two stated that as successors of socialism, they have nothing to fear!
"Then can you handle the level of excitement in this game?"
The two women patted their chests, declaring that they carried the five-star red flag on their shoulders and that neither Jesus nor Satan could provoke them!
"That's good~"
Jiang Xiao, with a serious expression, opened a terrifying icon on his computer screen.
As the scene unfolds, a strange melody drifts out from the speaker.
'Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!'
What is this? It sounds terrifying.
The two little ones huddled together, encouraging each other and showing that as socialist youths, they had nothing to fear.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiao smiled dismissively and directly clicked "Start, Adventure Mode!"
'Clang clang clang!!'
A louder "clang clang" followed by several extremely terrifying "ha ha" laughs made the two little ones scream involuntarily.
Moreover, a blue ghost claw was sticking out from the screen!
The screen suddenly went black, and the two little ones nervously swallowed hard.
Is this some kind of horror movie?
Finally, the screen lit up, and a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt with a frying pan on his head appeared on the left.
"Wabi wabi, wabi bap~"
Bai Yi: "?"
Mu Xitang: "?"
What's with this sudden change in art style?
"You two need to be careful. This is an extremely challenging infinite horror game. It combines many elements such as zombies, plants, darkness, light, fog, ocean, and infinity. It is also a game that tests your overall strategic thinking and troop deployment."
Deploying troops in formation?
The two of them instantly got excited. The pink-haired girl had always wanted to be the leader, but she couldn't register for any clubs because she was under eighteen.
It's good to learn about military strategy and tactics in advance these days!
Chapter 342 Nine Stars
"Mmm, this is fun!"
It's definitely more fun than Contra!
Seeing the two of them start arguing over who would play first, Jiang Xiao snorted smugly.
Sample~
Where have you two little wild boars ever eaten such fine bran?
Go ahead and play, you guys, and then you all stay silent.
"As long as you listen to your teachers in kindergarten, don't hit your classmates, and finish your homework on time, I'll let you play for four hours every day!"
This is much longer than the half-hour game time Sun Wei originally stipulated for them.
The main reason is that Jiang Xiao is not worried that the two of them will become distracted by frivolous pursuits.
In a way, it's fine if they get addicted to computer games, at least they won't cause trouble for others, right?
Seeing the two of them already chattering away, discussing whether to plant sunflowers or pea shooters first, Jiang Xiao's lips curled into a smile.
Go ahead and have fun. Once Sun Wei is out, let's see how long you can keep this up!
The thought that these two were about to be dealt with by Sun Wei gave him a strange sense of pleasure.
Whether it was the allure of Plants vs. Zombies or their submission to Jiang Xiao's pressure, Bai Yi and Mu Xitang actually behaved like model students for the next two days.
Until the evening of the third day.
The long-lost and lovely voice once again resounded throughout the entire planet.
The Game of Rules and Mysteries is Coming Soon; The Chosen One is Being Selected.
They've come again after only two days?
Despite the long-standing deadlock in negotiations, they gritted their teeth and exchanged a few more gold notes from the Dragon Kingdom.
The main issue is that the lowest denomination banknotes the other party has are 5000 yuan each.
That means replacing one would require 500 million catties of rice!
They wanted to exchange for smaller denomination bills, but Ah Long completely ignored them, saying he only had five thousand bills available and told them to take it or leave it.
Their complete monopoly left them with absolutely no options.
"It's alright. Last round I got eight stars, this round should be around five stars, so we can survive."
Dragon Kingdom: [Jiang Xiao]
Lighthouse: [Martin]
Cherry Blossoms: [Hirozuka Okamon]
Kimchi: [Xie Buruo]
Ok?
Jiang Xiao, who had entered the ghost story, looked around curiously.
This time, instead of entering the pre-match room, he went straight to the world of ghost stories.
This is truly the first time a young woman has ever married heaven and earth.
[Ding, game started. Enter the world of ghost stories, the night watchman of the funeral home]
Nani?
The chosen ones were all dumbfounded. This name didn't sound like something out of a trashy ghost story.
[This ghost story's difficulty is 9 stars+, and external reminders are prohibited.]
Wang Defa? !
Several months later, I've encountered this kind of strange tale that surpasses the difficulty of a nine-star level again?
