Fairy spare

With just this one thing, Ruan Li's image of being friendly and talkative in everyone's minds disappeared, and all the disciples had a completely new understanding of her.

"Senior, is it a bit extreme for me to do this?"

On the way out of the city, Ruan Li still asked Mo Da.

Mo Da chuckled and spoke slowly: "It's not extreme, but it is indeed tough. But I also understand your situation and intentions. If you are not tough, it will be much more difficult for you to act in the future."

Hearing what Senior Mo said, Ruan Li felt a little more at ease!

In fact, the reason why she showed no mercy this time was not just to establish her authority in front of others, part of the reason was also because of Huo Ji.

As Senior Brother Jinyan said, Huo Ji deliberately caused trouble for her. If she didn't deal with him this time, he would only get worse in the future.

Although she didn't take this person seriously, she couldn't let him act wild in front of her. For a person like this, she had to make him understand the consequences of offending her before he would restrain himself.

In short, she has taught her a lesson this time. Huo Ji has missed two opportunities for trials. It is not known whether Ruan Li can have a long memory. However, according to this person's character, he is probably very close to him when it comes to holding grudges. .

But she doesn't care.

A journey of twenty miles is not too far for practitioners. In just a few hours, the group entered the most prosperous place on the west coast - Shanghai and Chongqing before noon!

This place is built on the sea. There are more than 20 residents living in the city. Almost every household makes a living from fishing. Because this place is also one of the necessary ports for landing in Kirishima Valley and other places, the ship leasing industry is also very developed. .

Rich families have their own dedicated docks, and there are dozens of boats for rent, and the prices vary due to different materials.

Among them, ships made of Hegang are the strongest. Even if they are attacked by monsters in the sea, they can maintain the integrity of the hull to the greatest extent. Unless they encounter monsters with very powerful destructive power, ships made of this material are the safest.

I took a look at the weather. The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. Today was obviously a good day to go out to sea.

The group of people went straight to the seaside pier, only to find that the pier was even more lively than the city. There were monks in groups everywhere, and some people were bargaining with the boatman, trying to rent the best boat at the cheapest price.

As far as the eye can see, there is an endless blue sea. The end of the sea is connected to the blue sky. The line between sea and sky is very spectacular.

Many people saw the sea for the first time, and they couldn't hide their excitement for a while. But thinking of Ruan Li's angry scene in the morning, everyone suppressed the impulse and stood there obediently, waiting for Ruan Li to make arrangements!

"Are you guys going to rent a boat and go out to sea?"

Just when Ruan Li was about to inquire about the merchants at the dock, someone had already taken the initiative to interrogate and strike up a conversation.

Let’s look at the 50 people in their group. If they want to go to sea on the same ship, they must need the largest ship. This is a big order!
Ruan Li nodded, and the man could naturally see that Ruan Li was the leader of the group, and quickly greeted him enthusiastically: "Little fairy, you might as well come to our dock and have a look. There are all kinds of ships. Little fairy can Take your pick.”

"We are the terminal of Jingjia in Shanghai and Chongqing. Jingjia is well-known in Shanghai and Chongqing. Our prices are transparent and fair, and we will never deceive our customers!"

Jing family?

Ruan Li thought about it and found out that he had indeed heard of the name of the Jing family in the news he had gathered. He was a well-known leasing company in Shanghai and Chongqing!
"There are nearly fifty of us. Can we have a larger ship?" Ruan Li asked.

The disciples are not separated. Firstly, everyone can take care of each other together. Secondly, the bigger the ship is, the more stable it will be. The small ship is too easy to roll over when attacked, and there will be more uncertainty!

"My little fairy, what do you think of the one on the east side? It's made of river steel. Even the seventh-level monsters in the sea can't damage the hull!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the man's finger. A huge ship was moored in the eastern port, and the small boats beside it were as inconspicuous as shrimps and crabs in front of it.

And it is made of Hegang Steel, which is the safest.

"Senior, please wait here for a moment while I go over and take a look."

To be on the safe side, Ruan Li still planned to take a closer look, preferably on a boat.

Mo Da nodded and turned to the disciples: "Everyone rest here for a while."

Ruan Li followed the merchant to the east dock alone. From a distance, she already felt that the ship was huge. But when she looked closer, she saw that the ship was more than ten meters high. She could barely see the top when she raised her head.

It takes an incredible amount of time to build such a huge hull, and there are nearly ten ships like this parked at many docks on the coast. This shows that Shanghai and Chongqing attach great importance to ship leasing and the maturity of its development. .

Fifty people riding together are obviously no problem, but how does the boat move?
None of them knew how to steer the ship, and if the ship entered a calm zone, would it have to rely on their external force to move forward?

The weight of this hull may be a bit embarrassing.

Ruan Li asked the question in his heart, and the other party couldn't help but smile after hearing it: "Don't worry, fairy, our Jing family has been doing this for thousands of years. We can think of all the details when building such a large ship. We will be equipped with experienced helmsmen." Traveling with you, the earthly fairies in the windless zone don’t have to worry. There are driving paddles at the bottom of the ship. As long as a few people manually turn the main trunk on it, the driving paddles will rotate to generate propulsion and push the ship forward. "

"It is obviously unrealistic for such a large ship to be driven by wind power alone, so the fairy does not have to worry about the ship not moving when passing through the windless zone."

Ruan Li could only listen to the professional stuff, but she understood clearly that there was nothing to worry about with this big ship, it was sturdy and easy to use.

"What's the rent?" Ruan Li asked.

The man stretched out five fingers and spread them out in front of Ruan Li: "Not expensive, fifty thousand spiritual stones!"

Ruan Li: "..."

A good one is not expensive.

"What the fairy doesn't know is that the cost of building our ship is already sky-high. The fifty thousand spirit stones include normal damage, the manpower of the helmsman, and the number of nautical miles traveled by the ship. As long as the ship returns to the dock, If there is no extensive damage, we will not charge any additional fees.”

Ruan Li pondered deeply, the characterization of such a large area of ​​damage to his heart was too vague.

Looking up, I happened to see a dent in the body of the boat, which looked like it had been hit by a monster.

So he pointed at the depression and asked, "What about that level of damage? Do I need to pay compensation?"

The man grinned awkwardly: "To be honest with the fairy, this level of damage is beyond our tolerance. Fortunately, the inside of the depression is the inner cabin. If it hits the core components inside, our repair costs will be very high." It’s not a small amount, and the entire ship may even be scrapped.”

"If it is really scrapped, the compensation amount will be very high, and I am afraid that most people will not be able to afford it."

Ruan Li nodded clearly, already having an idea in his mind.

She asked so many questions because she didn't understand the rules of renting a boat for the first time, but all the expenses for this trip were borne by the college. The college was backed by the royal family, so there was no shortage of money.

But she couldn't just spend it blindly because of this. She had to know where she was spending her money and whether it was worth it.

Is it even possible to make it cheaper?

"How about forty thousand spirit stones?" Ruan Li tried to ask.

The man was stunned, as if he didn't expect Ruan Li to counteroffer, and cut off [-] spiritual stones in one go.

"Fairy is joking. Our prices are all quoted clearly. We will not defraud the fairy of a spiritual stone!" The man explained with a smile.

Ruan Li shook his head: "It's too expensive. If it doesn't work, I'll go and ask elsewhere. I see there are nearly ten such ships on this dock. It's always right to compare prices!"

"This..." The man suddenly panicked when he heard this. Although the prices of each store are quite transparent, no one can guarantee whether someone will let go in order to grab customers.This was a big order for tens of thousands of spiritual stones, and he couldn't afford to lose it.

"Such a fairy, [-] spirit stones, this is really the lowest price!"

Seeing that the other party actually relaxed, Ruan Li suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Forty-two thousand, that's all I can give. If you agree, we'll get on the boat right away!"

"Uh..." The other party was speechless for a moment, not wanting to agree, but felt Ruan Li's persistence.

"Okay, I agree!"

Unexpectedly, when the man was hesitating, a smiling male voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them.

Ruan Li subconsciously looked back and was startled when he saw the other party.

Yu Shang Nian?
And beside Yu Shangnian was a man in blue!
"I've met the young master!" The people around him quickly leaned over and saluted when they saw Yu Shangnian.

Before Ruan Li could react, Yu Shangnian waved his hand gently: "You go down first, I will entertain this fairy."

"Yes!" The man responded respectfully, glanced at Ruan Li quietly, and then left quickly.

Only then did Yu Shangnian raise his lips and smile, and said to Yuan Yuan: "Long time no see, Ali. How are you?"

Ruan Li: "..."

Seeing that Ruan Li didn't respond, Yu Shangnian's smile became even brighter: "What? You don't recognize me, do you?"

"How could it be..." Ruan Li calmed down and walked quickly to Yu Shangnian: "Brother Yu, you... aren't you from the young master of Huilin Garden? Why did that person just now..."

"Haha..." Yu Shangnian laughed out loud after hearing this: "This property owned by the Jing family in Shanghai and Chongqing is also owned by our Huilin Garden. It's a coincidence that my friend and I had nothing to do and we decided to come to the beach to enjoy the breeze. , I actually met you here, Ali."

The young man in blue beside him kept looking at Ruan Li. Based on his understanding of Yu Shangnian, there were few people around him who treated him so warmly.

Could the girl in front of me be Yu Shangnian's sweetheart?
"Let me introduce to you, this is my good friend, the young owner of Yuanwang Villa, Guan Zhiwen!"

Then he introduced to Guan Zhiwen: "This little fairy is the genius of Tiangui Sect, Fairy Ruan Li."

Both of them nodded slightly as a greeting.

But neither of them would have thought that during the Huilin Garden auction, the two of them would sit in adjacent cubicles and compete with each other without mercy.

The treasure that Guan Zhiwen longed for was snatched away by Ruan Li!

"I just saw a large number of monks gathered over there. They should be from the Royal Cultivation Academy. Are they with you?" Yu Shangnian asked.

Ruan Li nodded and told Yu Shangnian about his trip.

After hearing this, Yu Shangnian raised his eyebrows with interest, and then looked at the big ship in front of him: "Then you are right to choose this ship."

"But the price of your boat rental is really not cheap. I finally know why your Huilin Garden is so rich." Ruan Li said with deep meaning.

Guan Zhiwen on the side laughed when he heard this: "Fairy Ruan Li should also know the saying that no businessman can do no evil. This ship leasing business is just the tip of the iceberg of Huilin Garden."

Yu Shangnian was noncommittal about this and just stared at Ruan Li for a long time before lowering his voice and saying, "I have a way to save money. Do you want to know, Ali?"

"Really?" Ruan Li felt that Yu Shangnian was a bit naughty and even willful, so he was dubious about his words.

"Of course, this matter of going to Kirishima Valley is not a child's play. It might cost someone's life. Of course I won't joke with you about this kind of thing. After all, you are..."

You owe me a lot of money!

Ruan Li understood in his heart and asked quickly: "Tell me, besides using this boat, are there any other ways?"

"This boat still needs to be used!"

"Then...then what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, how about you bring both of us with you and I'll halve the fee for you?"

"..."

Ruan Li felt that this person was very out of touch, and his ideas were simply unreasonable and ridiculous.

Guan Zhiwen on the side waved his hands repeatedly after hearing this: "Don't take me with you, I don't want to die yet!"

"Don't be afraid, that's Kirishima Valley. Do you really don't want to go?"

Guan Zhiwen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but shook his head slightly: "You just told me yesterday that dozens of people died in that sea area last month, and you are taking me out to sea today. Do you want to assassinate me?"

"Forget it if you don't want to go, I'll go with you myself!" Yu Shangnian seemed serious. He turned to look at Ruan Li and raised his eyebrows: "How?"

[-] spiritual stones, if you want to reduce it, you can reduce it. It seems that Yu Shangnian really doesn't care about money.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Ruan Li thought for a long time and then said bravely: "How about... it's free?"

"puff……"

Guan Zhiwen couldn't help laughing, and gave her a thumbs up under Ruan Li's confused gaze!

This Fairy Ruan Li really has an idea, and not only dares to think about it, she also dares to speak out.

Not to mention how much money it costs to put this huge ship out to sea, the cost of [-] spirit stones is an unprecedented price, and she actually wants to give it for free!

Of course.

Yu Shangnian actually nodded: "Okay, everything will be easier if you take me with you!"

Guan Zhiwen: "?"

Ruan Li's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then you wait here for a moment, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, Ruan Li ran towards Mo Da.

"Are you crazy? Didn't you come to the beach to have fun? Are you really going to Kirishima Valley?" Guan Zhiwen reacted and said quickly: "Let your father know, and you will be scolded again!"

"No, I'm going to Kirishima Valley with the team from the Royal Training Academy. Is there anything safer than this?" Yu Shangnian seemed to have already made up his mind and raised his chin at the team in front: "You and Judging from the dozens of people, there are quite a few masters, and I believe the academy will not joke with the lives of these disciples, this trip must be very difficult!"

"If I can get a chance by following you, wouldn't it be more cost-effective than tens of thousands of spiritual stones? You just said that there is no business without treachery, and I will not do a loss-making business!" (End of Chapter)
