Hunting College - #2049 - Vol 5 Chapter 271: The story of gold

Belfinger gave the black cat a large and a small two pieces of gold.

The big one is about the size of a child’s fist, and the small one is only a little smaller than a standard golden bean.

Because these golds are not standard currency, there is no way to use them directly, and Zheng Qing does not know whether these golds have been manipulated by Belfinger, so naturally he cannot take them back to the dormitory.

So after leaving the cat fruit tree, the black cat went straight to the office of the Wizards Union Bank in the academy, intending to exchange the gold for gold beans or jade coins.

It’s a pity that the bank has already closed at this point.

The Green Grocery Store also has a currency exchange business, but on the one hand, there are many people in the grocery store, and a talking black cat with gold is always conspicuous; on the other hand, the Green Grocery Store needs to fill in the relevant identity when exchanging gold. Information, the black cat can’t take Zheng Qing’s student card as the reporting material.

After a while in the shadows along the foot of the pedestrian street, the black cat saw the big frog in front of the street bar.

Frog squinted, perhaps asleep.

The black cat followed the footsteps of several guests and entered silently. In the noise and confusion, he found a few wizards who hid their entire faces behind their hoods to chat – they were passed down by word of mouth among the students ‘Gray wizards’ will always buy or sell some contraband at a price that everyone can accept, and a few pieces of gold are naturally no problem – the only problem is that the gray wizards charge too much, and they even charge 30% of the gold. Fee!

Hearing this quote, the tip of the black cat’s distressed tail crumpled into a ball.

Let’s leave the homeless. After wandering around the street for a while, the black cat finally went to the west area of ​​Beta Town in gray and found the owner of No. 54 Courtyard.

“You look quite fresh.”

Su Shijun scratched the black cat’s chin with interest, evaluating its appearance in this way, took the two pieces of gold at the same time, and weighed it in the palm of his hand: “…a bit of impurities, but overall it’s still ‘clean’, and no one has been exposed to it. Move your feet.”

After saying that, he threw the piece of gold to Su Man, the head maid who was standing beside him. The head maid took the gold, bowed slightly, and quietly retreated.

The black cat reluctantly watched the piece of gold go away, and shook its tail contentedly: “Then you help to exchange it… How many gold beans can you exchange? You can take 10% of the handling fee!”

It has a bold look.

The witch tilted it, but said nothing.

The black cat felt a little restless, and suddenly regretted coming to the Qingqiu mansion—exchanging gold at the stray bar. Although those gray wizards asked for high prices, they still obeyed the rules—but in this mansion, the black cat began to worry a little about himself. Gold will be confiscated directly.

It has even thought out the reasons given by the witch: Poseidon’s living expenses, tuition and miscellaneous expenses, book expenses, toy expenses, delaying the appointment of Xixi’s mouth and pen, the mental loss of causing trouble, and so on.

After just a little pondering, the black cat suddenly felt that his four claws, including the tip of his tail, were numb.

It seemed to have seen two beautiful little wings suddenly grow out of the fist-sized piece of gold, and flew straight away in front of it.

Fortunately, Qingqiu’s heir has a big business, and he doesn’t look down on black cats.

“The fee will be waived.”

Su Shijun glanced at the black cat squatting in front of him, and couldn’t help but stretched out his hand to squeeze its cheeks, shaking: “But next time you come, remember to wear a vest… It’s not good for children.”

The black cat subconsciously retracted its tail and clamped its hind legs.

“Where’s Poseidon?” It poked its neck and looked left and right.

“Go to bed early.” The witch covered her mouth and yawned: “You don’t even look at what time it is… If you have time to wander around, why don’t you pull out the sinner and train for another night?”

“The results of the trials won’t come out until tomorrow night. Everyone’s nerves have been tense for so long, so it’s time to loosen up a little.” The black cat sat in front of the instructor in an orderly manner. At the end, as if remembering something, he put his paws into the gray cloth bag under his jaw and touched it. Out a purple ball and push it in front of the witch.

“what is this?”

“The lavender bubble bath ball, I mentioned it at the last meal,” the black cat tugged at his ears a little embarrassedly: “…bring one for him.”

The witch raised her eyebrows with a look of surprise: “It’s strange, you still remember what you said… Finished weighing? How much? How much can you exchange?”

The next few words were addressed to the head maid who re-entered the house with a lacquer tray.

The black cat looked expectantly.

His fist-sized gold squatted obediently on the lacquer plate in Su Man’s arms, and next to the gold was a small stack of jade coins. Under the radiance of magic, the two intertwined and exuded a charming luster.

The black cat was so fascinated by it that he didn’t notice that the hands of the owner of Qingqiu Mansion were falling on its back, stroking it one after another.

The head maid did not immediately respond to her own lady’s question, but reminded very politely: “Miss, he is still a student.”

The black cat didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence for the first time.

But Su Shijun realized it and corrected with a smile: “Students who are already grown ups… Of course, normally, I wouldn’t move like this when students are in human form… But, is it a cat now?”

The implication is that people are people and cats are cats.

The black cat finally came back to his senses, noticed something was wrong with his back, and was horrified, but after all, he didn’t run away screaming like a little girl. Tremblingly, he left the witch’s palm.

Su Shijun pouted, but did not stop the black cat from leaving.

Su Man watched this scene with a smile, until the black cat squatted firmly on the edge of the table, she bowed slightly, and presented the lacquer plate in front of the mansion owner: “…Excluding impurities and pollution, the net weight of these golds is fifteen or three cents. Zero six cents (about 765 grams, more than a pound and a half), converted to 119 standard golden beans…”

“Don’t care about that fraction.” Su Shijun waved his hand, looking lazy: “…let him count twelve jade coins.”

This time, the head maid did not raise any objection, and presented the stack of jade coins in the lacquer tray to the black cat. There were no more or less than twelve coins on it. Obviously, before entering the door, she had already estimated the attitude of the young lady.

The black cat looked at the stack of jade coins with a dazed expression, secretly stunned.

You must know that, as a fully funded student of the First University, the bonus he can receive in a year is only ten jade coins—twelve jade coins, and he can buy an 18th century Ashmore binding at Xiayuan Bookstore. Ben’s law book, you can buy two emerald crosses at the Wandering Bar, and you can also buy 600 small roast chickens with fragrant oil in the pedestrian street!

And now, the money is just a labor fee for a certain dog owner to help with his homework!

“It really stinks from Zhumen wine and meat!”

He muttered, but without any hesitation, he stretched out his furry claws and collected the stack of jade coins.

It was not until the jade coins were put into the gray cloth bag that the black cat suddenly realized that 12 jade coins were equivalent to 120 gold beans, which was a little more than his gold.

In other words, not only did he not pay the handling fee this time, but he also made a little ‘excess profit’?

But then I thought that I was attacked by witches, and this ‘profit’ seemed to have another source. For a time, the black cat was stunned in place, with thousands of thoughts and extremely complicated emotions.
