Ten years after the failed awakening, I became a god

Chapter 147 Bartering

Today's weather is heavy rain, haze, and air humidity is 40.

Today is the fifth day of the annual exam.

Because of the rain, the park rockery where the four people had originally hidden very well became the most unsuitable place to hide.

The reason is that there are water leaks everywhere.

The four people present were all descendants of prominent families in the empire. They could get by fine down there when it wasn't raining, but now it was raining. Not only was the stifling humidity in the air making it uncomfortable to breathe, but the sticky feeling of the rain dripping through the rockery rocks onto everyone's clothes was making the four of them extremely annoyed.

Originally, Wen Qingya could have erected a space barrier to prevent the rain from falling on their heads.

However, the terrain of the rockery was uneven. Even though there was no raindrops on their heads, the rainwater from other high terrain and rockery stones under their feet flooded everyone's shoes and socks.

It's like only caring about the beginning and not the end.

After some consideration, Lan Yin suggested to everyone that they open a hotel, and then Wen Qingya would use the space spirit to transfer everyone directly into the hotel.

No one had an opinion.

Wen Qingya had no objection, because her spirit was no longer a secret among the four of them.

She had to hide her spirit in Shenglong Hall because she wanted to join the political power association and be in competition with everyone. In order to prevent others from knowing her weaknesses and targeting her, she needed to keep it secret.

But now that she has joined the Government Council, the four people present are not outsiders... they should not be outsiders.

Wen Qingya lowered her eyes and thought a lot.

----

Lan Yin looked through the huge glass window and saw that it was raining heavily outside. The big raindrops hit the glass window with a crisp sound.

She opened the hotel by borrowing the identity of a cleaning colleague, in exchange for three days of free nutrient solution provided by the cleaning company.

She wouldn't drink that stuff anyway, because the hotel she opened provided three free meals.

Naturally, Lan Pingping paid for the room, and the remaining three were poorer than each other.

At this point, the four of them reached a tacit cooperation for the first time.

Of course, Blue Baby plays an emotional role in this.

Lying on the soft white bed, Baby Blue looked at Lan Pingping, who was sitting upright on the dining chair, Wen Qingya, who was casually sitting on the sofa, and Lan Yin, who was standing in front of the glass window. He asked sincerely, "When are we going to kidnap Lan Beibei and Ji Chunlu?"

Wen Qingya asked nonchalantly, "Who said we were going to kidnap Lan Beibei and Ji Chunlu?"

Baby Blue jumped up from the bed in astonishment: "Didn't you say..."

Wen Qingya raised her eyelids: "I said to control them, but I didn't say to kidnap them..."

Blue Baby murmured quietly: "Isn't that what it means?"

"Of course not." Wen Qingya looked up at Lan Baobao. "What you mean by kidnapping is to capture Lan Beibei and Ji Chunlu in their familiar territory. This is too difficult and risky for the four of us. But what I mean by capturing is to catch a turtle in a jar. We can easily control them by luring them from their familiar place to the jar we are familiar with."

Blue Baby curled his lips: "I believe Ji Chunlu is that stupid, but Lan Beibei shouldn't be that stupid, right?"

Wen Qingya showed a sly smile: "So we need a 'bait'!"

Baby Blue sat up straight and asked curiously, "What bait?"

Wen Qingya gave an ambiguous smile and looked at Blue Baby.

The silent Lan Pingping also looked at Blue Baby.

Lan Yin, who had her back to the crowd, turned around and looked at Blue Baby after hearing Wen Qingya's words.

Blue Baby looked at everyone with an incredulous expression and pointed his index finger at himself: "The bait you're talking about, am I?"

The three of them nodded in unison.

In the small pavilion of the Vision City Clean Center.

After the four of them finalized their plan, Lan Yin left first.

After all, in the eyes of the three, she is just an ordinary person who has not awakened her spirit and cannot provide much help in the entire plan.

Therefore, in the plan to capture Lan Beibei and Ji Chunlu, Wen Qingya gave her the task of protecting herself.

This was exactly what Lan Yin wanted, and she happened to have a more important thing to do.

She still had a batch of spirit stones she had gotten from the research institute that she hadn't sold yet.

Although spirit stones are beneficial to the practice of spiritualists, looking at the spirit stones piled up in the warehouse of the research institute, Lan Yin immediately decided to sell this batch of spirit stones.

The reason is very simple. If spirit stones are truly beneficial to spiritual practitioners' cultivation, then the federal leaders would never allow the institute's warehouse to be piled high with spirit stones.

In this world where the stronger one is, the more right one is, these spirit stones should have been absorbed by powerful spiritualists long ago, instead of being casually shelved in the warehouse of the research institute. Some of the spirit stones are even covered with dust.

Wen Qingya said that spirit stones are natural stones produced by spirit veins, but those in the research institute are obviously not.

There is something wrong with this batch of spirit stones.

It’s better to act as soon as possible.

Coincidentally, the opportunity came.

Ever since the huge symbiote incident on the screen, most ordinary people and some spiritualists didn't feel anything because things happened too quickly.

However, there were still a small number of spiritualists who were sensitive enough to smell the unusual smell.

Similarly, everyone knows that strength represents everything in this world, so there has been a secret craze for spirit stones in the Federation, and everyone can't wait to improve their strength.

This has led to a shortage of spirit stones, and the price has risen. Previously, one spirit stone could be purchased for 10,000 federal coins, but now it costs 20,000 federal coins to buy one.

There is even a faint upward trend.

But the problem is that there are simply not that many spirit stones on the market, and because the federal hierarchy restricts private property for citizens, most people don't even have that much assets.

Thus, barter emerged in secret at lightning speed.

Everyone took out their valuables to exchange for spirit stones.

After all, if you don't have the strength and you're gone, there's no point having these dead things.

Lan Yin used the Thousand Machines to change her identity into a man's and mixed in with this group of people who were bartering, and unexpectedly found a familiar person.

Ji Chunlu is also purchasing spirit stones.

Ji Chunlu doesn't have much federal currency, so his assets are definitely not enough.

So the thing he used to trade for spirit stones was the wine in the bar.

Lan Yin was a little confused. Didn’t they say that Lan Pingping’s gold shop was not hers, and Ji Chunlu’s bar was not hers either?

Did Ji Chunlu use the wine in the bar to trade?

Lan Yin couldn't understand, but what she knew for sure was that Ji Chunlu didn't know that there was something wrong with this batch of spirit stones.

Lan Yin had no way of knowing whether Lan Beibei knew about it but didn't tell Ji Chunlu, or whether Lan Beibei and Ji Chunlu were equally unaware of it.

It just so happened that Wen Qingya and the others wanted to catch Ji Chunlu, the turtle, and it just so happened that she wanted to sell this batch of spirit stones. Now it seems that she can also lend a hand in this plan.
