Chapter 470 The Youth is Full of Vigor and Vigor
...
"Ah, so that's how it is. I'm really sorry, Xiaolin. I wronged you."
The boy immediately admitted his mistake.
Rayleigh then squatted down and picked up a rose from the girl's basket.
"What a beautiful flower! Did you make it yourself? How much is it, little girl?"
Rayleigh took out the purse and asked gently.
The flower-selling brother and sister thought to themselves, how could it be possible? How much time would it take to make them by hand? Of course they are produced on a factory assembly line! Uncle, don’t you see that every flower is the same?
"50 Pele per bottle, thank you Uncle Beard!!"
The girl stretched out her hands and bowed deeply to express her gratitude.
"What? How much? Five, fifty, ten thousand?"
Even the Pirate King's deputy, who had seen many storms, was shocked by the sky-high price. He wondered if the unit was used incorrectly. Fifty Baileys was about right.
"Uncle Beard, this is a 2.4K gold-plated rose! It's a luxury item that can only be bought in Golden City! The price is fair to everyone! It usually sells for one or two hundred thousand, but I saw that you're a good person, so I gave you a discount! You're definitely the cheapest person on this street!"
The girl said sincerely.
Rayleigh looked at the roses in his hand and was too embarrassed to put them back, so he could only take out a stack of Baileys from his wallet and put them in the girl's hand with a sad face.
"Thank you, uncle!"
"No, you're welcome!"
Anyway, the money was sponsored by a rich woman, so I don’t feel sorry for it!
Rayleigh comforted himself.
...
After watching the kind-hearted uncle leave, the little girl turned around and put away the innocent expression on her face. Although her appearance did not change at all, her temperament suddenly became much more mature.
"Oh, there's really no challenge at all! Nikya."
"Let alone the wealthy businessmen, nobles and gentlemen who come with their female companions. A flower costs 100 million Baileys. Even if they don't want to buy it, they will immediately pay for it as long as the woman next to them warns them with a look. Some people will even buy a large bouquet without thinking just to show off their wealth. They are really stupid and have a lot of money! Isn't it too easy to make money here? There is no chance for us to exercise our IQ and EQ!"
The girl shook her head and sighed.
"You're already pretty impressive for being able to sell things to singles like that who didn't have any demand for them, Lin!"
The boy thought for a long time and could only praise the girl on this point.
"It's nothing special. I just took advantage of my natural advantage of looking like a 14 or 7-year-old even though I'm 8. I just need to act cute. It's not difficult to perform this kind of acting."
"Damn it! Why am I not growing up yet?"
The girl named Lin put her hands on her flat chest and huffed.
"Cough cough!"
Nikya blushed, coughed a few times to cover up her embarrassment, turned her head to the side and spoke.
"Perhaps Teacher Olivia is right. In a place like the Golden City where people live in luxury and extravagance, we can only see the extravagance and ugliness of the upper class. We cannot truly see the living conditions of the lower class civilians on the sea, so it cannot be considered a complete social practice class."
"Forget it, forget it. I can't care so much. Let's just take this opportunity to broaden our horizons and save some money. When we graduate, we will have some starting capital if we choose to go out to sea for training."
Lin smiled brightly and cleared the way.
"Hey, you're right. We are now taking advantage of the environment and resources created by Captain Gol and Lord Tesoro. The Golden City has gathered so many high-quality customers, and others can't just come in and do business here. It's like a monopoly on the market. Anyone with a little bit of brains can make money by selling anything. But in the future, it won't be so easy to make money outside!"
Nikia said with a smile.
"Then let's go quickly and sell more flowers to these suckers. Let's set a small goal and make 100 million today."
Lin said with a cute smile.
"no problem!!"
Just as the two were discussing the plan, a discordant voice sounded from behind.
"Hey, hey, hey! You guys even lied to an old man like me. You dishonest little brats are not cute at all! Also, what is a single dog?"
The two men's hair stood on end. They turned around at the same time and saw the old man who had just bought flowers for them staring at them with a dangerous smile.
"what!"
The little girl was startled and fell to the ground without even being able to stand firmly. One of her shoes that didn't fit her feet fell off.
"Hmm? Mermaids?"
Rayleigh was also stunned when he saw that the girl's shoes fell off and revealed a fish fin.
"Hey, you, what do you want to do? You bought the things voluntarily. I advise you not to do anything rash. This is not the Sabaody Archipelago, nor is it a lawless zone where other races can be persecuted at will. In the Golden City, no matter if you are human, merman, or other races, everyone is equal, and we are all legal citizens of the Golden City Kingdom! We are protected by the country. Believe it or not, if we lose even a hair, the Kingdom Guard will definitely arrest you!"
The human boy, Nikia, stepped in front of the little mermaid and gave her a verbal warning while assuming a fighting stance.
“Equality for all races?”
Rayleigh stroked his beard, savoring Nikya's words.
"Are humans actually capable of saying such things? That's really rare. Your parents have educated you well. Why didn't they teach you not to cheat, especially to an old man like me?"
"You bought it voluntarily! We can only be regarded as guiding you, at most we are shopping guides, and we have nothing to do with cheating or deceiving you."
The little girl got up from the ground, put her hands on her hips, pouted, and retorted righteously.
"Lin, are you okay? Go ahead and notify the guards. I feel like this uncle is not an ordinary person. He's very strong! I'll stop him before the guards arrive."
Nikia said in a low voice with a serious look in his eyes.
"Oh? Are you good at fighting?"
Rayleigh, who considered himself a famous teacher, could tell at a glance that the boy's fighting posture seemed simple and casual on the surface, but in fact his muscles were relaxed and his expression was calm. This was not a simple practice, but a manifestation of rich practical experience and confidence in his own skills.
"Hahaha, interesting. It seems that you are very confident in your own abilities, young man."
Riley said with a smile.
"Being afraid before the battle is a big taboo!"
Nikia said subconsciously.
"Hahaha, well said! You are really excellent! How about I let this old man give it a try?"
Rayleigh suddenly became interested and suggested with a smile.
"I'm not going to pursue the matter of buying flowers, and don't call the police. Let's just spar with each other. How about exchanging some physical skills?"
"Forehead!?"
Upon hearing this, Nikya and Lin looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
"Haha, to be honest, I'm actually quite skilled. Besides eating, drinking and gambling, my favorite thing to do is to fight with young people. Of course, I'll stop when I'm done. I won't go too far! I'm here to travel in Golden City, and I don't want to become a fugitive before my vacation even begins."
Seeing the other party hesitate, Rayleigh said with a smile.
"Uncle, if you're not afraid of hurting yourself, then come on!"
I didn't expect that the social practice class, which was not challenging at all, would actually provide an opportunity for actual practice. Nikya also showed an interested expression.
Students who can obtain approval for external internships before graduation must have excellent theoretical and practical performance.
A rare opportunity!
How could such a high-spirited young man retreat?
