Chapter 20 The Principle of Inexpensiveness
The evening of May 22, 2017
When Wang Jiu returned to Shenyuan with two iron boxes filled with gold, silver and treasures, he did not receive the treatment he deserved.
Looking at the amazing wealth worth hundreds of thousands of silver, Li Qingming on the hospital bed fell directly from the bed.
"My God, what did you do!? Have you sold yourself!"
Wang Jiu's communication methods have become much richer about his own mount, and he said directly in her mind: "I took over a hundred missions."
"Just kidding!" Li Qingming couldn't believe it at all, "I have never heard of a hundred missions with such a generous reward! What are you doing?!"
"Copy the book."
"Copy the book?! Just rely on your handwriting? Unless the other party spends money, begging you not to write it!"
"In fact, the income from the copying task itself is not much, only 20 top-grade spirit stones and a white jade seal. This income is mainly due to the long-term cooperation agreement between me and the task publisher."
"Long-term cooperation agreement?" Li Qingming became increasingly unable to understand, "What's going on?"
“Simple to say…”
——
At that time, facing the question raised by Li Jinglun, Wang Jiu chose to return it as it is: "What do you think."
So Li Jinglun was killed on the spot.
"Cunning, so cunning. Are you asking me, a master of the Rain Realm, a well-known and best-selling writer in the mainland of Xiangzhou, how much is the price to pay for a stupid mistake that may affect the overall situation of his career?" Li Jinglun stared at Wang Jiu with a mixed feeling of shock, contempt, respect, etc., "Then let's calculate it. My current invisible commercial value is about 100,000 spirit stones according to the latest evaluation, of which five are of 5. One is from the exquisite and error-free word-of-mouth marketing of my works for many years, that is, 20,000 spirit stones. If this mistake is exposed and the competitors maliciously hype, I will lose at least 50% of the word-of-mouth value, that is, 10,000 spirit stones. According to the theory of rational practitioners, as long as it can be better than the worst outcome, I have a reason to accept it, and the maximum value of this number is 9999. In other words, your offer is 9999 spirit stones! Isn't it right? "
Such smooth calculations fully reflect the beauty of mathematics and logic, which made Wang Jiuda admire: "Your calculations are very beautiful."
"Ha! I know!" Li Jinglun looked annoyed, "9999 Spirit Stone, you are such a bold robber. But by chance, I discovered a little omission in my book, and wanted me to pay such a huge sum of money! But what other choice can I have? As a best-selling writer, a world-famous theoretical scholar, in order to save his reputation, he should do whatever it takes, so..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Jiu floated over a paper flying sword.
"In fact, you can interpret the error in the calculation formula as a result of changes in environmental variables. For example, suppose that when the Fengyu Sword Art was invented 200 years ago, the constant in the formula of the heaven and earth spiritual energy influence factor in the Xiangzhou continent had a change of 1% from now. As long as this condition is true, it can explain why you used an vague calculation method with possible errors in the formula."
Li Jinglun held the note in his hand and did not move for a cup of tea. Then, as if some mechanism was triggered, he began to bow his head suddenly and verify it wildly.
It took a long time before he looked exhausted and was about to die.
"How did you find out!?"
Wang Jiu had to admit that the other party asked a good question because he had been thinking for a long time and didn't know how to answer such a simple question, so he had to ask back: "Why can't you find it?"
Li Jinglun's face changed rapidly as if he had eaten a fly, and it took him a long time to calm down slowly.
"First of all, I would like to thank you for providing a very constructive opinion that can indeed fix my mistakes. Secondly, it is precisely because of your suggestions that I have a way to avoid this reputation crisis, so I will pay the hush fee according to the specifications of 9999 spirit stones. Finally, I have a better suggestion..."
——
"Then you become his special consultant? He is responsible for proofreading each published book and providing regular mathematical guidance. The reward is one-tenth of his royalties? And this batch is the down payment?!"
Li Qingming read it with a dumb expression, and then fell into doubts about this mysterious world.
A mere whiteboard stupid sword can get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver by just a walk away - and this is just a down payment! On the other hand, I am already 14 years old but have achieved nothing. I have been clear soup and cabbage all day long, and it is rare to see a meaty fish. The result of the last IQ test was still mild... Oh my God, if I want to continue, I really have to sacrifice myself to lead the revolution because of my self-loathing!
On the plus side, at least in a short period of time, I don’t have to worry about money anymore. Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are enough to meet her mortal needs. As for the immortal resources required for cultivation, one-tenth of the royal reward of a master and best-selling writer in the Rain Realm is already a huge wealth for a newcomer in the Wind Realm.
Li Qingming's long-cherished wish for getting rid of poverty and becoming rich for many years is Li Qingming's long-cherished wish now. Now that his dream has come true, he is getting happier and more happy. He just wishes that he can hold his own magic sword and kiss him.
When Wang Jiu saw this, he had to remind him: "I strongly do not recommend you to do this, just like some people who raise dogs enjoy the pleasure of being licked by pets, but many people also salivate..."
"Okay, I just think about it! Then get out of my head and don't peek at my thoughts anymore!" Li Qingming waved his hand, but he still couldn't suppress his excitement. "Wang Jiu and Wang Jiu, please help me get the new Duobao Pavilion shopping manual on the table."
Wang Jiu did as he wondered, and saw that the little girl was quickly immersed in the well-printed and well-texted department store world. Her eyes kept emitting dazzling brilliance, her little nose wrinkled, and her breathing became gradually heavier.
"Wang Jiu, I remember you said you wanted the Tianyu Spirit Seal before? This store just happened to be available for purchase. Do you want to order a batch? You can pay the bill with silver. One party is only 50,000 taels. It is limited to supply. I will add the shopping cart first... Ah, there is also the Copper of Whirlpool. Although the vortex gold you mentioned looks a lot different from the price, but the price is cheap. Twenty spirit stones are one piece! I have also added the shopping cart... Look, Fumanji has released new desserts, which look delicious. I haven't eaten serious desserts for a long time. Buy two boxes first and try it. You one box, I one box, hehe."
This kind of self-talking like a spell lasted for about half an hour, and then Wang Jiu had to interrupt the little girl's silly smile.
"I think I need to remind you that your shopping cart settlement amount has exceeded my income from this mission."
Li Qingming woke up in a dream: "Really, why are there so many unknowingly!? It doesn't matter, let me see how to delete it."
This time, Li Qingming was silent for a long time, and his little face drooped.
"It's so difficult. Deleting a shopping cart is like cutting off your left and right hands... Wang Jiu, is there any way to take over the tasks of Baijia again and get rich quickly? Or, or let the surrender writer release a new book as soon as possible? Who is that guy?"
"It's your relative, Li Jinglun."
Li Qingming's expression instantly frozen, and then gradually turned cold.
"Li Jinglun? It's him!? It's really a hell!"
Wang Jiu asked: "Does he have any problems?"
Li Qingming sighed: "Li Jinglun, a descendant of the Li family in Lingshan City, is a distant blood relative of the Li family in Qingyun. He is the same as Li Fengyun, and his family ranks thirteenth. He left his hometown 12 years ago and came to Qingyun City to study. Although he has the bloodline of the Li family and has first-class understanding, his qualifications are ordinary. He is barely a good player in Lingshan City, and he is like everyone else in Qingyun City. However, he happened to meet Lu Xin during his studies, and by chance he became her best friend in the Li family compound, so what do you think?"
"I said, is there anything wrong with him?"
Li Qingming was convinced by the retardation of the sword spirit and had to reveal the answer by himself: "That is to say, he is the enemy! Those who are in the same camp as Lu Xin are all enemies!"
Wang Jiu thought for a while: "If you follow your inference, because Li Jinglun is Lu Xin's friend, he is the enemy, then as Li Jinglun's partner and interest sharer..."
"You are different!" Li Qingming was determined, "You are my sword spirit, and you are definitely not in the same camp as Lu Xin!"
After a pause, Li Qingming said in a painful and tragic tone: "Since it's his money, it's better to return it."
"Why?"
"This is the enemy's money!" Li Qingming said seriously, "I can't use the enemy's money!"
"but……"
"If it doesn't work, it doesn't work! This is a matter of principle! I would rather be poor than accept the help of the enemy!"
As he said that, Li Qingming threw away the Duobao Pavilion shopping manual with a tragic and tragic expression of a hero cutting off his arm, breathed deeply into Zhou Tian, and jumped out of bed with the discomfort of his body.
"I will also go to the Mutual Aid Association later. Let's find new tasks together, and there will always be suitable."
"actually……"
"Stop talking, I'm out of my mind!"
Wang Jiu continued: "Spend the enemy's money to buy your own things is equivalent to one rising and the other falling, weakening the enemy and strengthening yourself."
“…Speak.”
"After one's own efforts, the money you get from the enemy is essentially a spoil in a way that the enemy is not really willing to accept. And the free plunder is a privilege that only the winner has."
Li Qingming was silent immediately, and after a while, he slowly crawled back to the bed.
Chapter completed!
