Chapter 7 Bodhi Bracelet
He had barely said half of his words when he heard the sound of a knife handle hitting the door frame outside the house.
"Dangdangdang..."
"What's the noise about?"
"Do you know where this place is?"
"Don't want to live anymore?"
"Behave yourself, everyone."
Everyone was startled and suddenly became silent.
The accountant Wu stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Sir, may I ask..."
"Whether you can go out depends on your luck." The officer outside knew what he was going to ask before he could finish speaking and interrupted him rudely.
Accountant Wu had no choice but to keep silent.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.
After the commotion just now, these people temporarily forgot where they were, but the officer's shout brought them back to reality.
"Gululu..."
"Gululu..."
Some were extremely hungry. They had not eaten or drunk anything since the search began yesterday morning.
With hunger and an uncertain future, who would have the heart to watch the fun?
Suddenly everyone was in the same boat again.
"Old sir, what do you think of our situation...?" Brother Wu's status among these people is second only to the accountant Wu, but he can't help but feel worried, and he can't help but ask the oldest one for comfort.
A day and a night have passed and there is no news.
Everyone had no idea what to do and they all felt uneasy. They pricked up their ears and looked at the accountant Wu.
"Alas," the accountant Wu Xian sighed heavily, and then looked distressed, "Our boss would never do such a thing as harboring spies or colluding with the enemy and treason. I'm sure everyone knows this."
Everyone nodded.
Accountant Wu glanced at it and shook his head slowly: "When the incident happened yesterday, I didn't care at all. I just thought that these government officials were short of income again and were looking for an excuse to make up for it. It's just that the bigger the excuse, the more money they have to pay. But now..."
"What's going on now?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Accountant Wu didn't mean to keep the secret, but he was also confused, so he could only change the subject: "It's hard to say, it's really hard to say. You all should know that it's wartime now. If it involves the words 'Mirage spy', especially during wartime, who can get away with it?"
With a sudden "boom", everyone was even more panic-stricken.
When they first came in yesterday, they had actually discussed it over and over again.
At that time, the accountant Mr. Wu remained optimistic and comforted everyone.
But it’s different now. A night has passed and there is still no explanation and they won’t release the person. Maybe the situation is serious.
For a moment, some people sat down on the ground dejectedly, while others hugged their knees and lowered their heads.
All the people who were originally watching slowly dispersed.
Zhou Chang glanced at the bear man, prepared for his revenge.
In this atmosphere, the bear man didn't care about anything else. When he wanted to go back to the corner where he had just slept, he felt nauseous again. He had to find another seat far away and sit down.
Zhou Chang still felt that he had let this guy off a little, but he could only stop there.
He turned around, bent down, gathered a pile of straw for the accountant Wu, and helped him sit back on the ground.
As she sat down, a system voice suddenly sounded in her head: "Ding, a customer has placed an order for a Bodhi bracelet."
"Bodhi bracelet?" Zhou Chang looked around.
At a glance, it was located in the hand of the accountant Wu.
Accountant Wu Zheng took off a bracelet of yellow round beads from his wrist, held it in his hand and twisted the beads covered with black spots.
"How much is the commission?" Zhou Chang forgot to ask about the commission the first time, and ended up only giving one or two taels after all the effort.
"Eight taels." The viewpoint system directly reported the number.
Eight taels?
Compared with the one or two commissions from the first order, it has increased many times.
But Zhou Chang was not satisfied: "Show me the 'Nine Classes Ranking'. I want to take a look first."
She could never remember the full name of this ghost ranking list.
This time the viewpoint system didn't care and displayed it directly.
Zhou Chang was still very pragmatic and went straight to the bottom of the list.
Her current level is "lower ninety-eight". She has just seen "lower ninety-seven", which does not make her dissatisfied.
Look directly up two levels.
[Lower Nine Six: Miscellaneous tasks, running errands, accompanying...]
[Lower Nine-Five: merchants, laborers, handicrafts...]
Zhou Chang discovered last time that there are overlaps in every level, industry and position.
Being at the “lower ninety-six” level, one still cannot escape the fate of being a slave.
The “lower nine-five” level is a little better.
Zhou Chang was attracted by the word "vendor" at first sight.
As the saying goes, a tall building starts from the ground. If you become a vendor, at least you don’t have to work for others.
Zhou Chang looked at the "Price" column at the back.
[Price for lower 15 taels: 30- taels]
In other words, if you want to be a trader, you have to pay a minimum commission of fifteen taels.
Zhou Chang began to count on his fingers: "Two hundred and sixty-two, two hundred and seventy-four, two hundred and eighty-eight, no, eight plus eight..."
In his previous life, he was a top math loser. He had a hard time doing mental arithmetic on addition and subtraction within ten and had to count on his fingers.
As for the multiplication table, I am still vague about it until now.
"Sixteen." The viewpoint system couldn't help but give the answer directly.
"Yes, sixteen," Zhou Chang said, relieved. "You just said that the commission for the Bodhi bracelet is eight taels?"
"Yes." If the viewpoint system had emotions, it would definitely be impatient now.
"That means the commission for the bracelet will be doubled," Zhou Chang followed the principle of "cutting it in half when meeting", and now used the opposite method, "Well, 16 taels, 15 taels is fine, let's say 15 taels, it's just enough for me to upgrade to the 'lower 95' level."
The viewpoint system was very straightforward: "No."
"Then cut the price of the 'lower 95' grade in half, how about a commission of eight taels?" Zhou Chang was talking nonsense again.
The viewpoint system is equally no-nonsense: “No.”
"If I want to get this bracelet, I have to spend money myself." Zhou Chang touched his arms.
The stuttering clerk actually had some silver on him, which was the payment given to him in advance by the accountant, Mr. Wu, before the officers boarded the ship the morning before.
Viewpoint System: "The monetary units on both sides of the plane are not the same and cannot be calculated."
"If not, I will refuse this order." Zhou Chang crossed his arms and spoke in a firm tone.
Although she was anxious to change her identity, compared to her previous identity as a kabuki, she was at least a commoner now.
Kabuki actors face the risk of losing their dignity and life at any time, and dignity is even more important than life.
As a young man, he was just a little poor and did not have to worry about either the bottom line of his dignity or the loss of his life.
If the system refuses, she doesn't have to bother. She can just wait to get out of here and then think of a solution.
"Deal." The viewpoint system seemed to pause for 0.1 second to think, but it also seemed like there was no pause at all.
"Deal." No matter what, Zhou Chang was secretly happy.
It was my first try, and I didn’t expect that this damn system could actually allow for bargaining. So there will be more opportunities to negotiate in the future.
After finalizing the order, she began to think seriously about how to get the "source of goods".
This is not a normal transaction. Even if you are willing to pay for it, you must have a legitimate reason.
Over there, the accountant Wu was already sitting cross-legged, twirling his bracelet and muttering something.
It is understandable that people pray to gods and Buddhas when they are in trouble.
Suddenly Zhou Chang's eyes lit up. She was not good at math, but she thought she was quite smart in other aspects. "Add to favorites. I am the type who likes to read more.
If you look at me for a long time, you won’t think I’m ugly anymore, but you will feel that your patience has increased.”
