Chapter 442: If You Don’t Pay, It’s Not Selling
A middle-aged woman came forward, looked at Lin Chen with a warm smile, and invited Lin Chen to go inside.
Lin Chen said that he had acquaintances inside, so he sat directly near Zhou Geng and others.
"Old Zhou, you are old but young at heart. You have good taste. This girl is pretty."
Lin Chen teased Zhou Geng.
"Oh, this gentleman is so annoying." The prostitute who had been kept at a distance by Zhou Geng got the chance and immediately laughed. She hugged Zhou Geng's arm and said coquettishly, "Sir, he bullied me."
At this moment, Lin Chen clearly saw that Zhou Geng was completely stiff and had goose bumps all over his body.
This iron-blooded soldier, in front of the beautiful lady, was like being entangled by a poisonous snake and could not move.
Lin Chen laughed secretly at this.
"Mr. Chen, now that we are here, we must adapt to the local customs to avoid any trouble." The old man in the tomb laughed and explained in a cryptic way.
"Mr. Mu, I'm embarrassed to say this. I saw you touching someone's thigh as soon as I came in. If you hadn't said anything, I would have thought you were a local and more skilled than anyone else." Lin Chen said with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, the other six- star players also smiled. If it weren’t for the dungeon, they might have burst into laughter.
The old man didn't care, he just chuckled and said, "A Chinese Ghost Story: Lovestruck Girl, I actually like this tune."
Everyone gave a thumbs up.
What a undead knight.
Before Lin Chen came, they were all cautious about their surroundings, so they didn't talk much. Now they finally became much more active.
At the same time, everyone also talked vaguely about the copy.
"Come to think of it, I didn't make it clear what my mission at home was when I went out this time. Do you know?" said the old man in the tomb.
All players know that the so-called home refers to the player system, and the tomb old man is saying that there are no tasks in his system.
"Huh? I thought I was the only one who forgot, but it turns out you guys didn't know either."
"This is troublesome."
"Speaking of which, the ancient city has a good culture and prosperous business, but it just gives people a sense of unreality."
"Yeah, it runs very fast..."
This is a copy where the player chat system is disabled, and everyone is worried that mental fluctuations will affect these native ghosts and revive them, so they can only use this method to communicate for the time being.
Lin Chen also frowned. He had not received any system tasks until now, and he felt a little strange inside.
As for the latter ones, they represent that these people had the same experience as he had before and had encountered those imaginary vendors.
"Sir, look at your friends, they all have girls to accompany them. It would be boring for you to be alone. Do you want me to help you arrange some?"
The middle-aged woman who had initially welcomed Lin Chen in came over and said to Lin Chen with a sweet smile.
She looked to be in her forties, but she was well maintained and her skin was firm except for some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
She has delicate facial features, and the traces of time combined with her glamorous makeup make her look very feminine.
"No problem, but I have high standards. If I want to call someone, I'll call the courtesan from your brothel over." Lin Chen said with a smile.
Everyone's eyes flashed, and even the ghost players who had been secretly paying attention to the situation here showed a hint of anticipation and solemnity.
We are all players, so we naturally encounter the same problems that humans encounter.
In the brothel dungeon, the courtesan is obviously an extremely important character, and may even be the dungeon boss.
"Sir, we have seven courtesans here, all of whom sell their art but not their bodies." The madam said with a smile, motioning Lin Chen to make another choice.
No one was surprised, as the Oiran was indeed not that easy to appear.
Lin Chen shook his head and said, "I'm done playing with her. If you don't pay me, it won't count as selling her."
"???"
The whole audience was shocked.
Even the experienced old procuress was stunned. She never expected that a handsome and elegant young man would say such an inhuman word.
But soon, she returned to normal, put her delicate hands to her mouth, and said with a smile:
"Sir, you are joking. Every night there will be an Oiran performing. Although she will not show her face, if you can win the favor of the Oiran, you can be allowed to meet her."
Everyone looked at each other and then nodded.
They all thought that this was very important information. Some veteran players also had to sigh that Lin Chen’s previous SSS-level ratings were not luck.
He seems to be good at dealing with copies.
Of course, they also knew that this was due to the fact that people are skilled and bold. Normally, players would be very wary of the existence of a suspected dungeon boss and would not dare to inquire about it so openly right away.
"Okay, then let's not ask for other girls. I don't seem to have any customers. How about you accompany me for a couple of drinks?" Lin Chen said with a smile.
The madam was a little surprised, but in the end, whether because she was attracted by Lin Chen's face or for other reasons, she actually agreed.
She sat next to Lin Chen, very close to him. As soon as she sat down, she felt a gust of fragrant breeze that was refreshing.
The old man in the tomb saw the opportunity and laughed, "Xiao Chen, this madam...madam still has her charm, but isn't she a little too big for you?"
Lin Chen looked at the breasts of the madam beside him and said with a smile, "Bigger ones are better. I like big ones. Mr. Mu, you don't understand. Old breasts are good for cooling down heat."
The madam giggled sweetly, her white arms wrapped around Lin Chen's waist. Every move she made was very charming. Her many years of career as a prostitute gave her plenty of experience and she was very seductive.
Lin Chen also hugged her without hesitation, feeling the madam's slender waist and round buttocks, and nodded secretly.
Selling it to the club can be considered a professional match.
"Old lady, at your age, you can actually consider retirement. It would be much better to use the wealth you have accumulated over the years to buy a manor, some land or something. Why do you continue to do this?"
The person who spoke was a six-star player named Jiang Chen, who looked to be in his thirties, quite young. He had a lot of businesses in Yunhai, and his strength was not weak among the six-star players present.
The madam sighed and said, "I always wanted to leave here when I was young, but unfortunately, you young masters are only good at deceiving people and have never been substantial. Apart from barely making a living, there is no chance for me to leave. When I get old, I can get out, but you said that I have been doing this business for half my life, and I will not know anything after leaving the brothel. It will be even more dangerous if I encounter bad people. It is better to live in the brothel for retirement."
Lin Chen nodded and said, "If you want to leave, I will help you find a good place to go."
"Sir, do you still want to marry me?" the madam said with a sweet smile.
"What I mean is, help you find a new brothel." Lin Chen said with a smile.
"You are so mean, you always bully others." The madam was immediately furious, pointed at Lin Chen, and invited everyone to drink.
People were not too averse to the food in the copy . They had studied it and found that the dangers and problems in this copy were not in the food.
In other words, it is not among the food on the table in front of you.
Therefore, they all did not resist and drank the wine in the glass very obediently.
Even Gu Yehan, who was rather aloof and never spoke a word to the prostitute, was not left out.
"Speaking of which, many people have asked me this question. I didn't think much about it until many years later, when I met my former fiancé. It had been so long since we met that he couldn't recognize me. So he, who had sold me to a brothel, actually spent money to drink and chat with me."
The madam's voice was magnetic, and everyone listened carefully when she opened her mouth.
"But what I didn't expect was that he actually asked me why I did this job..."
"puff!"
Lin Chen spat out a mouthful of wine on the spot.
My goodness, deceiving women into becoming prostitutes and persuading them to become good women is really what men in every era like to do.
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and seeing the madam trying to liven up the atmosphere, they all started laughing too.
"Madam, I see that this brothel has a constant stream of customers and business is very good. Has anything special happened recently? Tell us about it."
Lin Chen smiled.
The reason for keeping the madam behind was, of course, because this female ghost was a know-it-all in the brothel and was definitely the best person to get information.
"Sir, you can just call me Luo Jin." Luo Jin's madam said with a smile. After thinking for a while, she added, "Speaking of which, apart from the fact that the sky seems to have become gray recently, I haven't noticed anything different."
Sky!
Everyone's expression changed.
The sky in the copy is usually dark, but they didn't expect that the old procuress ghost could actually notice this, and immediately raised the level of danger in their minds.
Lin Chen's attitude remained unchanged, and he continued to ask: "What about the brothel? Is there any story you can tell us?"
"So you are telling stories." The old procuress smiled and seemed to be very good at it. She said:
"Some time ago, the courtesan Ningxiang was spotted by a rich young man. I heard that the rich young man's family is very powerful and wanted to redeem Ningxiang and take her back as a concubine."
It turns out that she is not the courtesan Xuanmu.
Lin Chen's eyes flashed.
Xuan Mu was the first name he heard after entering the copy, and she was also the most beautiful courtesan. He originally thought that the center of the copy was related to her, but now it seems that it is someone else.
"What happened next?" Lin Chen asked.
"Later, there was no news about that young man . Ningxiang thought he would come back, but I and a few other ladies thought that the rich young man was probably deceiving her. Such things were not uncommon in the brothel in the past. But that silly girl was still waiting foolishly. Now she is getting thinner and thinner. I feel sorry for her." The old brothel owner sighed regretfully.
As the madam continued to tell the story, an outline of the story emerged in everyone's mind.
The first thing they thought was that the formation of this copy was probably caused by Ningxiang and the rich young man. What happened in between was still unclear, because the brothel they were currently experiencing was just something that had happened in the past.
But Ningxiang is most likely the dungeon boss.
At this time, the madam stood up and bowed to Lin Chen, saying, "Master Chen, there are a few more guests coming over. I need to entertain them. I will take my leave for now. I will come back to accompany you after everything is done."
Lin Chen nodded and took out a few taels of silver and wanted to hand it to her.
Everyone was stunned, wondering how Lin Chen could have such a thing on him.
The madam was also stunned for a moment, as if she had no idea what silver was.
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, and then he realized that this was a copy, and the madam was not the phantom-like vendor before. What she needed was naturally ghost coins.
Thinking of this, he put away the silver and took out a stack of ghost coins and said, "Take it and spend it."
Everyone was surprised. They clearly saw that the ghost coins Lin Chen took out added up to more than 100,000.
Ghost coins are scarce on Blue Star. Even if you are a six-star, you won't have too many on you. Although anyone can come up with 100,000 ghost coins, it is definitely not as easy as Lin Chen.
The madam's eyes lit up and she quickly snatched it away, as if she was afraid that Lin Chen would regret it.
"You old procuress, can I take back the money I paid out? Go and do your business quickly, and then serve us well. I have no shortage of money."
If it was silver, Lin Chen might still feel distressed, but as for ghost coins, Lin Chen could only say that the thing he had the most was ghost coins.
Lin Chen: I have no interest in ghost coins.
Just after Lin Chen said this, the system in his mind finally responded.
