Chapter 4 Everything is Tradeable

"Hard-pen calligraphy skills?" Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then asked immediately: "You mean it can help me write good calligraphy?"

"Yes, since it has risen to the level of calligraphy skills, of course it is good calligraphy." The devil replied.

"I thought you could only trade physical objects here. So, it can be traded even if it's not physical objects." Zhang Wei asked.

"I have said that everything can be traded here, not limited to physical objects. All physical objects can be bought with money. They are the lowest-grade trading items here, and the price you pay when trading physical objects is also relatively low."

The devil paused for a moment, then continued: "Skilled trading products often require a lot of practice and cannot be bought with money. They are mid-range trading products, and the price you pay when trading is higher."

"What are the high-end trading products?" Zhang Wei asked immediately.

"Talent!" the devil continued to introduce; "Talent is something that cannot be bought with money, nor can it be obtained through acquired practice, so it is the most expensive."

"How high is the talent you mentioned? For example, I want to play basketball. How do I know how high your talent is?" Zhang Wei asked.

"What do you think of Michael Jordan's basketball talent? With me, you can trade for Jordan's basketball talent. Of course, in addition to Jordan, you can also trade for the talents of other stars, but the prices are different.

In the same way, if you want to play football, I have Pele's talent, Maradona's talent, and Messi's talent here. You can choose freely. "The devil explained.

"Can talents be superimposed? Can I have Jordan's basketball talent and Messi's football talent at the same time?" Zhang Wei asked again.

"Of course. But you may not be able to pay enough." The devil replied.

Zhang Wei nodded silently. Talent is still far away for him now. The first thing he has to do at this stage is to cope with the college entrance examination.

So Zhang Wei asked: "How about this hard-pen calligraphy technique?"

"I will give you three ways to trade. First, you will lose your sense of taste for a year; second, one hand will be paralyzed for a year, and you can choose your left hand or right hand; third, you will pay half a year of your life!"

The devil paused and continued, "I personally think that the third option is more reasonable. After all, even if you are given half a year, you may not be able to practice hard-tipped calligraphy."

"How reasonable is it! This is costing my life! I won't do it if I lose half a year of my life for those few points of examination paper!" Zhang Wei immediately refused.

"Then you can choose the first two, which will not affect your lifespan." The devil said.

"With one hand paralyzed for a year, life is too inconvenient. If I lose my sense of taste for a year, wouldn't eating just taste like crap? Let's forget it, no deal." Zhang Wei said decisively.

"Don't be too hasty to say no! I have a second trading plan here." The devil immediately said; "You can only trade the right to use hard-pen calligraphy for a period of time, one year, two years, three years, whatever! The price of the deal is much lower.”

"Is this still possible?" Zhang Wei was a little surprised. He then asked: "In other words, if I trade the right to use hard-tipped calligraphy for one year, then during this year, my writing will be very good. When this year passes, If it happens, I will be beaten back to my original shape?"

"That's it." The devil said.

"This is more cost-effective." Zhang Wei nodded silently, and then said, "Then give me two days of hard-tipped calligraphy!"

"Only two days?" the devil asked doubtfully.

"The college entrance examination only lasts for two days. Give me two days of hard-pen calligraphy skills, which is enough to get the test score." Zhang Wei said.

"Two days won't do. There's too little time." This time it was the devil's turn to refuse.

"Didn't you say that anything can be traded here? This is the rule you set yourself. Can't you trade two days of hard-pen calligraphy?" Zhang Wei asked.

"You are blocking my bug!" The devil's voice was a little angry, and then he sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, since it is a rule, I will abide by it. Two days of hard-tipped calligraphy can be traded, and I will give you three Options. First, five days of constipation; second, seven days of diarrhea; third, twelve hours of life. Pick one and we’ll seal the deal.”

Zhang Wei said, "Don't worry, it's not the college entrance examination yet! It won't be too late for us to trade on the day of the college entrance examination!"

At this time, Zhang Wei said he was not in a hurry, but in fact he had already decided on his options.

Lifespan cannot be traded. An extra hour of life is an hour.

Having diarrhea for seven days is definitely not an option, because the Chinese language test is the first subject of the college entrance examination, and there is still one and a half days of college entrance examination time. If you have a stomachache during this period, you will not be able to take the exam smoothly.

So among these three options, you can only choose constipation for five days.

Although constipation is uncomfortable, it is still within the acceptable range. Besides, it only lasts for five days, so it will be over if you endure it.

……

Two days before the college entrance examination, Zhang Wei had memorized the answers to all the test questions.

The day before the college entrance examination, Zhang Wei checked the examination room. He was lucky enough to be assigned to the examination center of his school, which was regarded as a home game.

Finally, June 6th has arrived. This will be a day that changes the fate of many people!
Before going out, Zhang Wei checked his admission ticket and ID card again. Without these things, there was no way to take the exam.

Forgetting to bring your admission ticket is not uncommon in the college entrance examination. Although every class teacher will repeatedly emphasize it every year, there will always be someone who forgets to make this mistake in the college entrance examination every year.

At 8:30 in the morning, Zhang Wei arrived at the school where the examination was taking place. After checking his ID card and admission ticket, Zhang Wei walked into the examination room.

The candidates are still looking for their examination room and location. The surroundings are not quiet, but there is a serious atmosphere in the air. Even the June sunshine streaming in through the windows could hardly melt away this seriousness.

With the arrival of the two invigilators, the classroom instantly became quiet. Next, the invigilators will check everyone's identity information to ensure that no one will take the exam for them.

The first exam is Chinese, which starts at nine in the morning and ends at 11:30 noon, a total of two and a half hours.

When the test papers were handed out, the tense atmosphere in the classroom reached its peak.

Zhang Wei filled in his admission ticket number and admission ticket number, and then started to check the questions.

"Sure enough, the questions I memorized are the same!" Zhang Wei let out a long breath, and then exchanged the devil in his heart:

"Devil, give me two days of hard-tipped calligraphy in exchange for five days of constipation!"

The devil's voice immediately sounded: "Okay, the deal is completed, within the next two days, you will have hard-pen calligraphy skills. In the next five days, you will be constipated."

Zhang Wei immediately picked up his pen and wrote a few words on the draft paper. It was as neat as a copybook.

"What a nice word!" Zhang Wei couldn't help but smile.

"With such good calligraphy, if you earn enough points on the test paper, you will definitely have a perfect score in Chinese!"

 Don’t forget to collect it.
