Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 87: Golden Toad Meets Silver Toad

The man in blue showed joy when he heard Xiao Chen's introduction.

He is a man without martial ethics. He fights with people for life and death, does not like fairness, and only cares about killing with a single blow in secret. He is insidious and vicious.

This hundred-tooth wolf-fang war hammer and this blood-grooved poison sword are both venomous and cruel. Anyone who is touched by them will die. This is exactly what he wants.

The man in blue carefully took the weapon and looked at it for a while.

After all, Silizhai was a new sign, so he was still a little worried. He casually took out a palm-sized silver-skinned toad from his bag, held it by its hind legs, and was about to poke it with the Blood-Trough Poison Sword to test the poison.

The silver-skinned little toad had already awakened its intelligence. Seeing this, it was extremely terrified. It twisted its body left and right, kicked its feet desperately, and made a "quack quack" toad language from its mouth, which was a cry for help:
"Ancestor, save me, Ancestor, save me!"

"Ah, just like myself in the past, this little toad is so innocent!"

When Xiao Chen saw such a pitiful little toad, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

So, Xiao Chen quickly snatched the silver-skinned little toad, and in the green-clothed man's puzzled eyes, Xiao Chen explained:

"Brother, this little toad is too small to test the strength of my poison."

"I have my own cattle and sheep in my backyard. I'll have someone bring one over to test the poison."

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, the little demon put on armor and went to the back hall to bring back a fat and strong black-haired pig.

The man in green lightly stabbed the big black pig's body with a sword.

The big black pig let out a scream, and after a few breaths, it fell to the ground, its limbs twitching, foaming at the mouth, and black venom continuously oozing out of the wound, flowing all over the ground.

Seeing this, the man in blue nodded with satisfaction and asked expectantly, "Boss, how much are these two treasures worth?"

"These two weapons are worth 130 taels of gold. With a 10% discount, it's 1117 taels of gold."

"I took your toad, and I'll give you a small change, so it's one hundred and ten ounces of gold."

"You can register your name in this membership book. You can use a pseudonym. If someone comes to buy it and tells us your name, we will record it for you."

"Gather five people, and you can come and take fifty-eight and a half taels of gold. Gather eight people and we will return the full amount."

Xiao Chen gave a wink, and Xue Ji came over with the booklet in her arms.

The man in green glanced at Xue Ji with a look of amazement in his eyes, and swallowed his saliva, but he also knew that the owner of a weapon refining shop must have a remarkable background, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

So, after taking another sneak peek, the man in blue didn't dare to look at it any longer. He took the booklet and wrote a few big words.

Xiao Chen took a quick glance and saw the name "Heishuihe Qingli". He must be a monster in the river. However, he did not have the flaming eyes of Sun Wukong, so he could not identify the true form of this person.

The Black Water River Qingli paid the money, took his weapons, and went out happily.

Xue Ji put down her membership booklet and was about to clean up the dead black pig.

"Never mind it, just leave it here."

Xiao Chen waved his hand.

A small wound can poison a big, strong pig.

This dead fat black pig placed here is the best proof of the toxicity of his weapons.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen picked up the little silver-skinned toad and threw it into the water tank in the back hall.

"Thank you, ancestor! Thank you, ancestor!"

The little silver-skinned toad prostrated itself on the water, croaking non-stop.

Xiao Chen took a look at the little silver-skinned toad.

The skin of this little silver-skinned toad has a unique silver color, shimmering with a faint luster, giving people a mysterious feeling.

The color of its eyes is a deep sapphire blue, which contrasts sharply with its silver skin, making it look cute.

The golden toad and the silver toad are both different species of toads and are very rare. This silver toad must also have some extraordinary features.

Xiao Chen waved his hand and ordered: "Since you, Silver Toad, have come to the ancestor's place, just stay here peacefully. No one will dare to touch you again."

Then, Xiao Chen habitually drew a pie and said, "You should practice well. After you transform, the ancestor will give you a name."

After saying that, Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and returned to the back hall.

Behind him, the silver toad was croaking in gratitude. At this time, the business in front of the hall was much more lively, and there were already three "real" customers.

Fengtie, Chilan, Pijia, Yingzhu... Xiao Yao didn't know whether they were real or fake, he just thought they were all real customers. He was very busy, with a smile on his face, explaining the magic weapons one by one.

"Boss, this weapon of yours is quite unique. Can you take it off and show it to me?"

A monk in white robes pointed at a strange long weapon on the wall and asked curiously.

Xiao Chen sucked it up and took it off. He held it in his hand and introduced it with a smile: "Brother, this is a wolf tooth poison whisk. The head of the weapon is as sharp as a spear head, with densely packed barbs. It can pierce into the human body and then be pulled out, and it can easily take away a large piece of flesh and blood."

"There are hundreds of small branches on the front end, which are extremely sharp and soaked with dozens of different kinds of deadly poisons. They can kill people with just a slight sweep. If they are scraped, they will die. If they are rubbed, they will also die. There is no chance for ordinary monks to survive."

Xiao Chen then casually pointed at the big fat pig on the ground and said with a smile: "Not to mention this ordinary domestic pig, even a thousand-year-old pig demon can't withstand this poison."

"Oh? Boss, you are serious."

The monk in white became excited upon hearing this and asked.

"That's natural. If you can't die, come find me yourself."

Xiao Chen said with a confident smile.

He has poisonous vines, poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders... a lot of poisonous creatures under his command, and he himself is also a very poisonous creature. When mixed together, he has all kinds of poisons, so naturally he is very powerful.

"Okay, okay! I will use this to sweep the Qingluan Mountain."

Upon hearing this, the monk in white was filled with murderous intent and laughed wildly, obviously he had some deep hatred to avenge and liked this kind of directly lethal weapon.

Xiao Chen was indifferent to this matter. He was just an arms dealer. He only cared about selling arms and watching as a bystander. These things had nothing to do with him.

It is just like in the future when someone uses a kitchen knife to hack someone, when the police come, they will not investigate which manufacturer the knife is from, but will punish the manufacturer of the knife.

Xiao Chen struck while the iron was hot and introduced Silizhai's membership mechanism of people referring others.

Upon hearing this, the monk in white hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not leave his name. He left alone with a wolf-fang poisonous whisk and a determined look on his face, as if he was going to seek revenge.

Although the entrance to Silizhai today is not packed with people, the flow of people has naturally increased significantly compared to the previous few days, and it has also snatched customers from several Foyuan Pavilions nearby.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong."

"There must be something wrong with this Silizhai."

"How can you steal our Foyuan Pavilion's business?"

Old monk Zhiyuan stuck his head out and scratched his forehead, full of suspicion.

After pondering for a while, Old Monk Zhiyuan rolled his eyes, his mind moved slightly, and he had some other ideas.

……

night.

The back hall of Silizhai.

Xiao Chen sat in the big seat in the back hall, with little demons lined up on both sides.

Business is good today and the little demons are very happy.

Xiao Chen naturally referred to the sales model of later generations and set up a sales system with price increases and price jumps.

Every time the little demons sold magic weapons, they would receive a reward. The more they sold, the more reward they would receive.

The Three Huli Immortals directly hold shares in Silizhai, and their interests are tied to his. They prosper and suffer together.

To get your subordinates to work hard, you naturally cannot rely solely on their enthusiasm. People's enthusiasm will be exhausted, but desire will not. Desire will always exist.

He can make promises, but he can't just rely on promises. He needs to give them some real money, arouse their desire, and make them work sincerely and hard. This is the real deal.

To put it bluntly, use interests to bind everyone together so that everyone has a visible goal and understands that they can profit from this matter.

Xiao Chen has been the monster king for more than a hundred years, so he is naturally well versed in the art of ruling his subordinates.

Xue Ji placed the thick account book on two large grapefruits. The ice and snow on her face melted away, and her pair of peach blossom eyes curved as she smiled and read:
"Report to the chief treasurer."

"On October 26, I sold a wolf-fang poison whisk for 160 taels of gold."
