Immortals just want to get off work

Chapter 36 Du Kang: I Can't Drink

The City God of Guicheng looks plain on the outside, he is a middle-aged man who can't be found if he throws it into the crowd.

However, when he was wearing the costume of the city god and sitting in the hall to judge the matter of ghosts, he displayed an unspeakable majesty, which was cultivated for hundreds of years.

It's just that Du Kang didn't feel uncomfortable or restrained at all because of this temperament. Apart from the majesty of a mere city god, he couldn't bring any shock to Du Kang who had seen the world. In the Temple of the City God, I saw the City God judging ghosts, but when we met formally, it was in private—once Shi Yuye and Du Kang arrived, it was obvious that the City God ended the interrogation hastily. wait, and his attitude...

"Your Majesty, Mr. Du, I offer you a toast!"

Chenghuang took the initiative to raise his wine glass, and there was even a hint of flattery in the smile on his face.If he hadn't been sitting in the main seat, Shi Yuye was in the first place, and Du Kang was in the second seat, then Du Kang's "superior leaders went to the countryside to inspect" the sense of sight would be perfect.

"Long time, Lord Chenghuang." Du Kang smiled back and raised his wine glass, but he didn't put it to his mouth, but just signaled, "I can't drink alcohol, I'm really sorry."

"Oh, this is my negligence, I forgot about it, come here, quickly serve tea to Mr. Du, use the best tea!" Chenghuang was stunned, and then quickly ordered.

"You can't drink?" Shi Yuye asked curiously.

"Yeah, it's hard to drink." Du Kang nodded and said, "Are you sorry for my name?"

"I'm really sorry." Shi Yuye teased, "At least there should be enough for a thousand cups."

Du Kang just shook his head with a smile.

In fact, it's not that Du Kang can't drink wine, but...for him, wine is too bad to drink.

It's not that the city god deliberately made things difficult for him by giving him wine of extremely poor quality, but that from childhood to adulthood, no matter what kind of wine it is, cheap or expensive, common or rare, how many years it has been buried, what brewing method it is... in Dukang's place , but they are all two-word evaluations - unpalatable!
The difference is nothing more than the distinction of "can't even smell it", "extremely unpleasant", "extremely unpleasant", "very unpleasant", "relatively unpleasant", and "unpalatable". I haven't encountered any kind of wine that he can evaluate as "drinkable" or "delicious", so I just kept using the excuse of not being able to drink as an excuse.

According to Du Kang's judgment of taste, the quality of the wine that Chenghuang served this time has reached the point of "undrinkable".

After drinking and tea for three rounds, and after a few courteous conversations without any gold content, Chenghuang couldn't wait to get to the point.

In fact, Du Kang was also looking forward to it. The food at the City God's banquet is indeed delicious, but it is more important to talk about the salary in person.

"Presumably, the relevant matter, the empress has told you, Mr. Du, before."

Chenghuang said very simply: "I don't like to be devious, I just like to be more straightforward, so, Mr. Du, just say what you need, as long as I can satisfy it, I will definitely do it."

This is waiting for Du Kang to set a price, quite a feeling of putting himself on the chopping board, just like a "lamb to be slaughtered".

"Okay, Lord Chenghuang is really generous." Du Kang was not eager to quote, but said, "But before discussing the remuneration, I still need to explain the length of time I can substitute.

I can't take over here for a long time, and I have other things to do, so the time I can take over in a month can be long or short, and it's not fixed..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can come when you have time!" Cheng Huang waved his hand and spoke the most humble words in the most bold tone.

It can be seen that he really wants to get off work.

"Since you have no objection, Lord Chenghuang, it's easy to say. Since the time when I can come to replace the shift is not stable, and the specific number of days I can come every month is not sure, so I will use the time when I come to replace the shift every day. How about using the total amount of incense to settle the transaction?” Du Kang said again.

"This...isn't that good?" Chenghuang frowned, "Those incense sticks are the rewards I get when I do things. If you come to replace me, Mr. Du, but you still only get the same things as before, wouldn't I have nothing to do with it?" Don't need to pay anything?"

"No, no, Lord City God, you misunderstood me. I don't need incense, but... I need something that can be exchanged for incense." Du Kang shook his head and corrected.

Incense can be exchanged for things. To be more precise, it is basically equivalent to a common currency in the gods, and members of the official system in the gods like Chenghuang and Digong can not only Use the total amount of incense as the assessment standard at the end of the month, and you can also spend incense to trade or exchange items. Of course, you can also sell incense to get incense.

Naturally, Du Kang heard this from Shi Yuye. To be honest, I thought it was boring at first, but it seems quite reasonable when I think about it...

Then Du Kang naturally came up with the idea of ​​a trading system that uses incense as currency. He can't bring back gold, silver and treasures, but he can learn spells; natural materials and earthly treasures can be used to speed up cultivation and increase the upper limit of spiritual power ; Magical artifacts and the like, if they can be sacrificed, he can also integrate them into his body and take them back directly!
For Dukang, it is simply the perfect platform.

"Then I understand, yes, of course!"

City God suddenly realized, and stretched out two fingers, "Twice, how about counting as twice the amount? How much work you have done and how much incense you have accumulated, Mr. Du, just count as twice the amount, and then I will help you." Is it okay to exchange for what you want?"

"Eh..." Du Kang was taken aback.

"Then, three times?" Without hearing Du Kang's reply, Chenghuang began to probe cautiously.

"Three times?" Du Kang repeated.

"That's four times!" Chenghuang continued to increase.

"Enough is enough!" Du Kang quickly stopped, "Four times is fine."

Dukang people are a little confused - I haven't had time to cheat, what's the matter with the cheating itself?

Adaptive price hike?Or raise your own price?

How desperately do you want to get off work!
It made Du Kang a little afraid to let Chenghuang continue. Four times is already an outrageous multiple. You can get as much money as you do. Of course everyone wants to do less and get more, but you have to be able to live with it. , otherwise it would feel like being favored by others, and Du Kang didn't want to owe favors in this kind of place.

"Okay, then this matter is settled... Mr. Du, when will you be able to start acting as a substitute?" Chenghuang asked expectantly, looking like he really hoped that Du Kang would start now.

"Not now. I still have some things to deal with. I need to leave for a while. Let's start after I come back." Du Kang shook his head and refused.

Cheng Huang's disappointment was visible to the naked eye, but he managed to manage his expression very quickly. He has persisted for so many years, and it's not too short of a while.

……

Du Kang opened his eyes, his eyes were dazed for a while, and then he refocused and became energetic.

Skillfully poked around the pillow, held the phone in front of his eyes, unlocked it, and checked. The temporary substitute task of the Land God has indeed been completed, while the daily substitute task of the Chenghuang shows [Pausing, whether to continue—yes/no] 】.

Du Kang did not choose [Yes], but locked the phone screen and fell into deep thought.

He came back just to give himself enough time to sort out some things.

This time, the amount of information that the substitute class came into contact with was too much. If the first substitute shift allowed Du Kang to officially embark on the road of cultivation and acquired the ability to save his life, then this second time is to start formally contacting a former The existing system—the system about immortals, was added in a somewhat tricky way.

Another important aspect is the harvest this time, whether it is the 3000-year-old peaches given by Shi Yuye, or the "Book of Ji" given by God Ji... Even among the gods, they can definitely be regarded as treasures!

Du Kang's spiritual power fluctuated slightly, and a jade appeared in his hand. This kind of item can be directly stored in the dantian in the state of spiritual energy, so Du Kang can bring it back.

Similar things, as well as the land seal of the land master, can also... wait!
land stamp?
Du Kang's face suddenly became strange, his spiritual power fluctuated again, and a simple stone seal appeared in his hand.

He sat up, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

Bad!
Encountered too many things, I forgot about this thing all at once, and brought back the guy who was eating by others!
