Give Me the Name of God

Chapter 16 Fair Trading

Living in the Jurassic for eighty years, Manda has forgotten most of the rules of human society, and he almost tells everything he sees.

But seeing Brutal's excited tears, Manda swallowed back the words, not out of sympathy, but out of reason.

His natal god didn't make it too clear. He thought he had the ability to judge the value of items, and he also judged the value of the smoke stone, but maybe it was just a coincidence, or it was a different understanding of value.

In the eyes of others, perhaps a real golden apple is worth forty gold coins, but for Radon's full-level followers, the value of a golden apple is far beyond what gold coins can measure.

Even if the golden apple is fake, how can Manda explain her judgment? He didn't want to expose his divine power, and a baron's illegitimate son would never have seen such a high-end product as a golden apple.

Even if he can find a suitable reason, who can guarantee that Brutal will not lose control on the spot and directly kill him.

There are some things that are not good if they are right, and even worse if they are wrong. It is best to rot in your stomach and never say it.

After lunch, Brutal will keep guarding his golden apple, Leon is going to indulge in the tavern, Kunta can only stay with Brutal because of his special appearance, Sphinx takes Manda Went to the bazaar, which was their only pastime before leaving Yarn City.

There is also a market in Tieshan Town, but it is far from being comparable to Yarn City in terms of scale. Hundreds of vendors gather in the spacious and noisy streets, and Manda's heart is full of overwhelming emotions.

He really doesn't know why he is surging, and he is not someone who has never seen the world. No matter how prosperous the market in Yarn City is, it is still not as good as the supermarket in his previous life. Strong spending power.

More than half of the merchants in the market were selling cotton yarn, which is a specialty of Yarn City and is well-known throughout the continent. Sphinx spent a full sixty silver coins on cotton yarn until their carriage was almost out of space. , and then put away the purse without further ado.

For the sake of Manda helping him carry the cotton yarn all the way, Sphinx gave two silver coins as a reward for this trip. What a vicious woman, she has two hundred silver coins for expenses.

Manda walked around the market, from food to clothes, from pottery to ironware, there was nothing worth looking at, until he saw a boy about his age, Manda finally stopped.

A sheepskin was spread at the boy's feet, and on the sheepskin lay a short bow, some arrowheads, and a dagger.

Such a stall was too shabby, and could hardly attract anyone's attention, but it caught Manda's attention.

He squatted in front of the stall and smelled a tempting smell. It's definitely not a mutton smell, it's much more attractive than that. He picked up the short bow and touched it, looked at the pile of arrowheads, and finally fixed his gaze on the dagger.

"How much does this pocket knife cost?"

The boy has curly black hair, a pair of small eyes on a dirty face, a high bridge of nose, and thin lips, which are always tightly pressed together, making it obvious at a glance that he is cramped and nervous. .

"Just... eleven copper coins."

The boy's asking price was not high, but Sphinx instinctively came up and slashed.

"Such a small knife is worth eleven copper coins? Fifteen copper coins can buy a dagger!"

The boy lowered his head, his face flushed red, as if he had been wronged, or he seemed to have done something wrong.

"Ten, ten copper coins are enough."

"Seven copper coins, I'll give you seven!" Seeing the boy give in easily, the lion girl decided to chop harder.

"Seven, seven..." The boy was a little reconciled, the price was too low, but after hesitating again and again, he still nodded.

Manda always felt that something was wrong, he stretched out an index finger to make himself cross-eyed, stared at the knife for a while, and almost didn't sit on the ground.

A small pile of gold coins appeared next to the knife, and there were forty-three upon careful counting. This knife was worth more than golden apples!

Not only the knife, but also more than twenty gold coins appeared next to the short bow, and even dozens of silver coins appeared next to each arrowhead.

Manda bit her finger hard, and after withdrawing her divine power, she smiled at the little boy, "Is it really seven copper coins?"

The little boy lowered his head and said, "No, no more, less..."

Manda smiled triumphantly: "You are lucky today."

He took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and just counted seven when he suddenly felt a severe throbbing pain in his head.

"Fair trade, do you understand?" The voice of Benming God echoed in my ears.

Manda responded loudly in his heart: This is what he willingly sold to me!

"You can have no conscience, but you must understand the rules, do you understand?"

Manda could find a hundred reasons to explain the rationality of this deal, but his natal god was not in the mood to argue with him, he grabbed Manda's brain and kept kneading it.

Under the excruciating pain, Manda took out a silver coin.

I take out half of my wealth, that's all right!

"You know how much this pocket knife is worth, give me a little more sincerity!"

Manda took out both silver coins, and the headache finally disappeared.

"Here, I'll give you everything," Manda took a deep breath, "I want this knife."

The boy looked at Manda in surprise. He couldn't earn a single silver coin a month. He took two steps back, shook his head and said, "Don't tease me, I don't know you, and I haven't offended you."

"It's just a fair deal, what are you talking about teasing and offending?" Manda stuffed two silver coins into the boy's hand, and then took the knife from the sheepskin. Before the boy recovered, Manda had already away.

The Sphinx quickly caught up with Manda, grabbed his arm and said, "Are you crazy? You paid two silver coins for such a small knife?"

Manda looked at Lion Girl helplessly, he didn't know how to explain, not far away, an old vendor squatted in the corner and shouted: "Young man, I have good things here, just for you. "

Manda turned around and saw the old man in ragged clothes. He had a very special appearance, with a big head, wide top and narrow bottom, high forehead, two swollen bags, shallow eye sockets, heavy bags under the eyes, and a high nose bridge. , with a large nose, protruding lips, and a goatee growing on a pointed chin.

The goatee suits him so well, the old man looks like a grown goat.

There is also a shabby stall in front of him, which is even more shabby than the boy's stall.

On a piece of sackcloth, there are a bunch of gadgets in a mess, including a dirty puppet, a rusty little iron man, a spinning top that is almost the same color as dirt, a twelve-line chess with a few pieces missing, and a dozen or so others. A palm-sized stone statue covered with green moss.

what is this? Bad second-hand toys? Sphinx held his nose and said, "Do you dare to sell this kind of thing?"

The old man raised his dark face, bared his teeth that were darker than his face, and said with a smile: "Only those who know the goods know their value, young man, are you right?"

Manda squatted on the ground and nodded. The moment he activated his divine power, the gold coins in front of him almost drowned it.

The puppet had at least one hundred gold coins, each little iron man had forty gold coins, the spinning top probably cost more than two hundred gold coins, and the twelve-line chess set was worth at least twice as much as the spinning top...

The most frightening thing was the dozen or so small stone elephants. He couldn't count the gold coins around the stone statues.

What is the situation? Why is this pile of junk so valuable?

Manda got up and sighed, pretending to be old-fashioned and said: "It's a good thing, but unfortunately I can't afford it."

The old man stroked his beard, bared his yellow teeth and said with a smile: "The price is negotiable, how about a gold coin, these things only need one gold coin."

"You know what you're talking about? Have you ever seen gold coins?" Lioness sneered, "Exchange these things into an earthen pot and save them for begging."

After finishing speaking, she picked up Manda and turned to leave. The voice of the God of Destiny appeared in Manda's mind again.

"Such a good thing, such a low price, why not buy it?"

What kind of good is this?

Manda suppressed her annoyance, and answered cautiously in her heart: I really can't afford it.

"It's just a gold coin."

Not even a single gold coin can be taken out.

"Think about it."

What can I do? Besides it's not fair, you said you want a fair deal.

"Don't contradict me!"

The god grabbed Manda's brain again, Manda rolled her eyes, foamed at the mouth, and broke free from the Sphinx's arms.

Whatever your reason, he has a tight grip. Manda lay on the ground and hugged the lion girl's thigh and begged loudly: "Give me a gold coin, please, I will return it to you in double!"

Lioness looked at Manda with squinted eyes. Under the setting sun, her outline became so clear that Manda felt that her hair was slowly standing on end.

Manda gave up the extravagant hope of asking for gold coins. He was thinking about whether to run away or beg for mercy, but unexpectedly saw the lion girl empty the purse.

"Sixty-two silver coins, there is only so much, and the rest of the money will be distributed to them."

Manda took the silver coin and looked at the old man. The old man shook his head and said, "I only want one gold coin. You should know how much advantage you have taken."

Damn old man, can't you be a little more pristine like that kid?

Manda looked at Lion Girl again, and Lion Girl sighed and took off her earrings.

The old man accepted the silver coins and earrings, lifted the middle part of his upper lip, exposed two front teeth, and said strangely: "Just treat it as what you owe me, and what you owe me will eventually be paid back to me."

Is there still Wang Fa? I spent one gold coin to buy a bunch of junk, and I still owe him!

Carrying this pile of dirty rags on her back, Manda followed Lion Girl carefully, and when she was about to get into the carriage, she suddenly heard Lion Girl say viciously: "On the way back, you can only eat black bread, Don't even think about drinking a drop of broth, after arriving in the valley, you will clean my room for a year!"

Manda laughed awkwardly, and suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Please wait!"

Manda turned around and saw the little boy who sold him the dagger chased after him. He was holding the dirty sheepskin in his arms, which contained a short bow and arrowheads.

"Let me go, no matter what price you offer, I can't afford it, and I don't want to, please don't make things difficult..."

The boy stuffed the sheepskin into Manda's arms: "These are all for you, and this..."

The boy took out a long brass wristband from his rucksack and stuffed it into Manda's hand: "It may be a little bigger, and it will be used in a few years."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I really..."

Before he finished speaking, the boy turned and ran away, Manda nervously waited for the god's instructions.

He gave it to me, I really have no money...

"Remember today's kindness, remember what you owe him."
