Chapter 496 Pulling
Chapter 496 Pulling
"No matter the cost! We must trade him, take him out of the campus, and hand him over to the organization!!"
……
"..."
Lin Yi on the other side caught all of this, and from an angle that Lu Zhao and others couldn't see, he showed a big speechless expression.
No, buddy...does forced buying and selling sound so legitimate?
[I want to hand this chicken head over to the country! ]
Good fucking pronunciation.
What made Lin Yi even more speechless was, when did these people become so self-aware?
In other words, when did they realize that they couldn't take things from him by force?
From now until now, only half an hour has passed...
"No, wait!"
Lin Yi suddenly realized that at the beginning, only Lu Zhao and Chen Xue were peeping at him, no, observing him. When he was pulled back from the layer, the four great ones were all there.
So they actually saw the picture when I dropped the layer, and then realized the problem?
Then the question arises -
"When I lose my layers, what do others see me like?"
Lin Yi suddenly became interested.
He moved silently in the bookshelf area. If Lu Zhao came to find him, he would definitely ask him in person.
What on earth did he see that made Lu Zhao become so cautious?
As for the round ball "Yutong" that Lu Zhao wanted, as long as Lin Yi was satisfied with it, there would be no time when he could not get it!
Everything can be negotiated, the key is that you have to speak up!
Lin Yi continued to scan the bookshelf, and then found that there was nothing wrong with the books themselves. They were all very normal books in his perception.
"Does it mean that we have to open it to see the problem?"
Lin Yi murmured, but if that was the case, finding something in so many books would be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
How did you find this?
Just when he was frowning, Lu Zhao had already hurriedly come around from behind another bookshelf, fearing that the treasure would slip away from under his nose.
When he was almost in front of Lin Yi, he adjusted his breathing, then deliberately slowed down his pace, pretending to be picking books. He "coincidentally" ran into Lin Yi and bumped into the latter.
"Oh, what a coincidence, classmate Xiao is here to pick books too?" Lu Zhao greeted with a smile, but he was actually a little nervous in his heart.
"Oh, the real boss is here." Lin Yi smiled secretly in his heart, but his eyes moved away from the bookshelf and fell on Lu Zhao, and then he was a little surprised: "Hey, old classmate, do you know me?"
Chen Xue walked out silently: "We are together."
Lin Yi suddenly showed a look of realization: "Oh oh oh, it's you, classmate Chen, hello, hello."
He held out his hand.
But Chen Xue didn't answer.
A person grabbed Yu Tong's hand with bare hands, but they didn't dare to shake it.
"Uh... sorry, sorry, there are differences between men and women, and I have overstepped my authority." Lin Yi realized that something was wrong, and looked at Lu Zhao.
Lu Zhao was stunned.
No, you really want to shake hands?!
He suddenly found himself in a difficult situation.
If we don’t shake hands, how can we continue the discussion?
If we shake hands... that would be too polluting, right?
For a moment, Lu Zhao's mind raced wildly and he didn't know how to respond to this.
Lin Yi was a little speechless, frowning slightly, thinking that these two people must have some quirks, shouldn't they shake hands when they meet now? Or...shaking hands as soon as they meet is too familiar?
Thinking of this, he withdrew his hand silently, then put on a stern face, turned his gaze back to the bookshelf seriously, put his hands behind his back, and started browsing the bookshelf again.
Lin Yi's performance scared Lu Zhao and Chen Xue. They looked at each other and saw the panic in each other's eyes.
It’s over. I won’t make him angry anymore, right?
What can I do? !
How can I submit the matter of changing my feather pupil when I die before I can accomplish my mission?
His eyes moved around wildly, not knowing how to break the deadlock - after all, guys like him in the scientific research department seldom interacted with others, and that hello was all he said for Yutong.
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly cried out.
Immediately afterwards, a book fell from the bookshelf and landed at Lu Zhao's feet.
It was obvious that Lin Yi had dropped it accidentally.
Lu Zhao was stunned, and suddenly realized that the opportunity had come. He quickly picked up the book from the ground, glanced at the title, and hurriedly handed it to Lin Yi.
"Oh, thank you." Lin Yi took it and started flipping through it.
Lu Zhao said at this time: "The book "25 Types of Stones That Change the Planet" has lost its timeliness. Even scholars who study the relationship between acquired cracks and natural secret patterns in stones rarely read it..."
The book in Lin Yi's hand was titled "25 Stones That Change the Planet". The moment Lu Zhao saw the title, he frantically searched for relevant memories from his knowledge, trying to find the corresponding knowledge points to start the conversation and break the previous deadlock.
But to be honest, Lu Zhao was a little confused. For someone like Lin Yi, who was so interested in the sculpture of the eerie laughing angel, shouldn't he read some books related to mysterious genealogy?
If he remembered correctly, in the field of mystical genealogy, scholars had specially set up a subject to study the Laughing Angels, and held academic seminars at the Jinghua Academy in the Huaxia Federation every year...
"Oh..." Lin Yi showed a look of sudden realization, and then took over the topic, "It seems that this classmate..."
"Lu Zhao." Lu Zhao said with a smile.
"It seems that Mr. Lu is also quite knowledgeable about stones..." Lin Yi said, "But to be honest, I know nothing about these things. I took this book purely to see if there are any illustrations or something like that. But now that you said that, it seems that I took it in vain..."
Lin Yi flipped through the book casually, then put it back on the bookshelf with some regret.
Lu Zhao's heart moved slightly: "Mr. Xiao... Could it be that you want to find information related to the stone just now?"
"You..." Lin Yi showed a "vigilant" look and stepped back cautiously.
Lu Zhao quickly comforted Lin Yi and said, "Student Xiao, don't be nervous. Listen to me, we have no ill intentions. We just happened to see the sculpture broken, and you picked up a piece of stone..."
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes: "Did you all see it?" "Yes, I saw it, but..." Lu Zhao spoke slowly.
Lin Yi quickly said: "But I don't know anything! How about you tell me what happened just now?"
Chen Xue couldn't help but ask: "That happened to you, how could you not know?"
Lin Yi retorted: "If I knew, would I need to ask you?"
"Why are you being so unreasonable?" Chen Xue frowned and gradually became angry. This girl who looked "slightly less cold" was actually "not cold at all".
Lu Zhao hurriedly stopped them, fearing that Chen Xue and Lin Yi would have an argument that would affect the subsequent development, and hurriedly said, "As the saying goes, the mountains are so deep that one cannot tell where they are. It is possible that Mr. Xiao is confused by the situation."
Lin Yi nodded: "Student Lu is right! So I am a little curious, what happened to me just now?"
Lu Zhao said, "You just now... your behavior was indeed a bit indecent."
"Um...can you elaborate on this?" Lin Yi was really curious.
Chen Xue said unhappily, "You almost came up to lick the sculpture just now!"
"Xiaoxue!" Lu Zhao shouted in a low voice.
Chen Xue curled her lips.
Lu Zhao quickly said: "Actually, he's not as perverted and cowardly as Xiaoxue said..."
Lu Zhao then told Yu Tong what they had seen. For Yu Tong, he could only tell the truth.
After listening to this, Lin Yi nodded seriously and said, "You're right. It sounds quite normal. It's just a little fanatical and morbid, but not abnormal or vulgar at all!"
Lu Zhao agreed seriously: "I don't think so either."
"..." Chen Xue looked at Lu Zhao speechlessly. She had never mentioned the word "perverted and obscene" before, but fortunately, she could tell from Lin Yi's expression that Lin Yi really didn't care about these details.
Seeing that the time was right, Lin Yi guided Lu Zhao's motives and said, "Then why did you come to me specifically? Why...?"
Lu Zhao quickly said, "To be honest, we came here for the stone you picked up."
"That stone? Oh, you mean the stone in the sculpture fragments!" Lin Yi asked, "It seems you know what that is?"
Lu Zhao said: "I don't know either, but the fact that it fell out of the angel sculpture makes me very interested. I wonder if you, Xiao, have any intention of giving it away. I personally prefer to collect some strange things."
"This..." Lin Yi hesitated, but thought to himself, what a liar, you are deliberately not telling me, right? You really don't have any sincerity at all!
At the same time, I was very happy, thinking, "Fuck, we finally got to this topic. Hurry up and take it away! Then tell me everything I want to know!"
Of course, although he thought so in his heart, he had to show on his face that he was reluctant enough, otherwise how could he raise the price?
Lu Zhao was still urging Lin Yi: "Student Xiao, this thing is just a piece of waste stone in your hands, but in my hands, it will become a good collection. For this collection, I am willing to spend some money to finish it..."
"You have money?!" Lin Yi's eyes lit up.
Lu Zhao's mouth twitched: "Yes, I did... but I didn't bring it in."
What a joke! Who would bring money into the dark zone?
Are you going to spend money to find weird things on campus to buy your life? !
Do people want this money? !
"How about changing to something else..." For the first time, Lu Zhao realized the meaning of the saying "A penny can make a hero fall."
He had made many plans, but he never imagined that one day he would be stumped by the need to spend money in the dark zone!
Lin Yi hesitated for a while, then shook his head: "Then I don't know how to tell you..."
Lin Yi didn’t know how to start the conversation, so he offered to exchange your secrets - but if a secret can be told, how can it be called a secret?
Who writes a diary?!
So here comes the problem... progress is stuck.
Lin Yi wanted to know the secret, but he couldn't go up to ask, so he could only play hard to get, hoping that Lu Zhao would understand.
But Lu Zhao couldn't understand a thing. What Lin Yi wanted to know were all common sense that everyone in the outside world knew. Who would chat about such "normal" things?
Seeing that Lin Yi was indifferent, Lu Zhao was obviously a little anxious, but he really didn't have anything valuable with him... Wait, value? !
If the real thing doesn’t work, then the virtual one should be okay, right?
Lu Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "How about this? We don't have any money, but we can exchange something valuable with you... Ask yourself, if you come to the campus as an experience student, will you be provided with food and accommodation? Do you need money?"
"'Something valuable'...?" Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, saying yes in his heart, but he couldn't agree so quickly on his face.
The sooner, the better.
He said with some embarrassment: "Your 'value', isn't it defined by yourself?"
"Uh..." Lu Zhao's face fell. It must be custom-made. What else could he do? Could he clearly mark the price?
"Then... why don't you tell me about it?" Lin Yi asked. He was a little curious about how Lu Zhao could come up with something valuable right away.
In other words, he was more curious about what valuable things should look like in Lu Zhao's cognition.
Lu Zhao knew that Lin Yi would not give up until he saw the rabbit today, so he pulled the backpack in front of him, took a deep breath, then reached through the zipper and rummaged around in it.
Finally, he pulled out a stone.
"Stone?" Lin Yi looked strange. "You are not planning to exchange stones for stones?"
Lu Zhao said: "Mine is jadeite."
"Jade... ? I don't know anything about jade. Even if you are a piece of glass coming out of a beer bottle, I can't tell whether it is jade or something else." Lin Yi said frankly. What's more, he had a hammer to use. If he came to the campus for gems, he might as well go to the black soil to mine and "gagu gagu" with the black chief!
When Lu Zhao thought of Lin Yi holding the "25 Stones That Change the Planet" and saying that he had no idea about it, he was no longer angry about the current situation. In order to exchange for Yu Tong and increase the value of the items in his hands, he patiently explained: "Jade is a stone that can carry extraordinary substances to a certain extent. The jade you see is the most valuable thing I have on me."
"Can Jade carry extraordinary substances?" Lin Yi's eyes widened, as if he had heard some outrageous secret.
Seeing this, Lu Zhao continued, "Student Xiao, do you still remember the story of cultivating immortals in China?"
"The so-called 'spiritual stones' that cultivators need to use when they practice are actually minerals that contain extraordinary powers, such as Painstone, Tafstone, Color-changing Stone, or some gemstones such as jade and agate..."
The corners of Lin Yi's mouth kept twitching. We're brothers, aren't we from the same world?
You said that I have already begun to accept the mystical genealogy, but now you are talking to me about cultivating immortality?!
Damn you!
