The Little King Next Door

Chapter 119 Treasure Map and Lottery Box

After breakfast, the two wandered around the school looking at the map.

Because the school is too big, the two bought two magic boards from the old students who set up a stall in the school's commercial plaza.

The magic board is a bit like the scooter of the earth, it can fly at low altitude, and the speed and direction can be manually controlled.You can input magic power, or use magic crystals as energy.

This magic board is almost a standard configuration for students.

With the magic board, the speed is indeed much faster.

After one day, I only walked one-fifth of the school. This is only the place marked on the simple map. I don’t know how big the place is not marked on the map.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two decided to return, Lei Mu suddenly said: "There is a cemetery in the back mountain, it is very big."

Wang Ye felt a little weird, and looked sideways at Lei Mu.

Lei Mu didn't know whether he should tell Xiao Yezi that he felt a familiar aura when he approached the back mountain just now.

"This school..."

"Mumu?"

Lei Mu shook his head: "Nothing."

Xiao Ye Zi has already had enough matters, the poison of Qianmu alone is a big trouble, but there is no prescription and antidote formula for this poison in the pharmacology book, Xiao Ye Ye has to study it by herself.

It's better for him to investigate by himself at the Houshan cemetery.If the cemetery on the mountain behind the school is really related to his family, then Xiao Yezi shouldn't be involved.

Seeing that Lei Mu didn't want to talk about it, Wang Ye didn't force him, instead, he said, "Let's go to that grocery store. I still have some things I want to buy. Some common things need credits to buy at school, so why don't you go out and buy them."

Lei Mu has nothing to do with himself.

So before dark, the two came to the grocery store again.

Wang Ye originally wanted to buy something casually, so he threw the torn book into the lottery box when the clerk was not paying attention.

In the end, when he looked up, he discovered that the shop was equipped with a magic surveillance camera, and a big eye without lids was hanging above their heads, looking at the people in the shop without blinking.

The big eyes are still flying around. I don't know if the other party perceives that he wants to do something, but no one wants to follow him.

Wang Ye was depressed, so he simply made another big purchase.It's not an excuse for him to say that he wants to buy something. After visiting the school for a day today, plus they communicated with some old students, he found that he and Lei Mu still had a lot of things that they didn't have ready.

For example, a full set of primary magic alchemy and alchemy tools including the alchemy table and the alchemy table.

Although there are also in the school, and there are special refining rooms and alchemy rooms that can be rented, but they have insect nests. Instead of renting them, it is better to prepare two workshops in the insect nests.

In addition to this, there is a large selection of large and small glass bottles.

The appearance of glass products on Double Moon Star is also a benefit to the magic world. They no longer need to use expensive crystal bottles.

There are also people who use crystal bottles now, but they are generally used to hold more precious or special energy medicines, and some are also used to hold facades.

Lei Mu also needs to buy a furnace for alchemy for him.

This kind of alchemy furnace is also an alchemy item, which can be large or small, temperature controllable, and can calcinate different kinds of ores and materials.It is an indispensable tool for alchemists.

In addition, there are cooling furnaces, crushers, mixers, automatic cleaning magic brushes, etc.

When the two of them came here last time, Wang Ye had seen that this grocery store had a complete range of items. Almost all the basic equipment needed by the students were available here, and the price was cheaper than professional alchemy stores and potion stores.

But as long as it is related to potion masters and alchemists, there is one common feature, that is, expensive!

Lei Mu watched Wang Ye spend a lot of gold coins like flowing water, and once again felt the urgency of "he wants to make money quickly".

In fact, after his space was able to open up, Xiao Yezi shared half of the benefits they got on Prisoner Island and nearby islands with him on the grounds that he and him were partners in the same team, and the benefits must be shared equally. Gold ore and magic crystal.

Because Little Leaf used a lot of magic crystals to upgrade the worm nest, he also replenished a lot of gold coins for him, and stuffed him with a bunch of commonly used medicines.

As a result, Xiao Yezi still likes to take care of everything when she goes out to buy things.

Lei Mu didn't want to let him go this time, and insisted on paying for it himself.

Wang Xiaoye was still not happy, and felt that Lei Mu and him deliberately drew a line.

Lei Mu had no choice but to persuade Wang Xiaoye with the reason that two people would pay separately and get three lucky draw chances respectively.

Wang Ye was reluctantly convinced, he still cared about the number of free lottery draws.

The clerk still remembered them, and immediately smiled and said, "You have a total of six lucky draw opportunities this time, three times for each person."

Wang Ye snorted softly: "Last time, I made you guys cheaper. Obviously Mumu and I are two people, so we should have the same six chances as this time."

The clerk smiled: "You didn't say you paid separately last time. Of course I thought you were together."

Wang Ye stopped talking nonsense with the clerk and walked to the lottery box.

The clerk remembered the prize that the little guy drew last time, and felt that these were two big customers who should be kept, and immediately sent a blessing: "I wish you a better luck today."

Wang Ye: "Thank you, but I came here today just to lose my luck."

The clerk and the customers laughed together, but no one took it seriously.

Wang Ye: No one believes the truth these days.

The first time he put his hand deep into the lottery box, Wang Ye removed the torn book from the worm nest and threw it into the lottery box.

An object bumped into his hand, Wang Ye didn't use the identification technique, and didn't even feel much, he grabbed the object and pulled out his hand.

The clerk and Lei Mu leaned over to have a look.

"A copper coin. Congratulations." When the clerk said congratulations, if he could hold back the smile on his face, he might have been more sincere.

Other guests who watched the excitement shook their heads, and some scolded the shopkeeper for being too stingy, even daring to put a copper coin in the lucky draw box.

Lei Mu patted Wang Ye's head, "Not bad."

Wang Ye also thought it was good, and put his hand into the lottery box for the second time, and this time he took out something as soon as he caught it.

It was a small bag, and when I opened it, it turned out to be a student badge inside.

"Someone may have lost it. If you take it back to school and find its owner, maybe you can get some rewards and gratitude." The clerk said earnestly.

Wang Ye put away the small bag indifferently, and grabbed the third prize.

This time it was a piece of animal skin, crumpled, with a map drawn on it, marked, like a treasure map.But looking at the shoddy and intentionally old traces, anyone with a little discernment can see that this is a fake treasure map.

There are too many such fake treasure maps, and everyone has seen too many of them.

Some of the guests teased Wang Xiaoye, congratulating him for getting the treasure map.

Someone else bid: "Can you sell a silver coin?"

Wang Ye: "Not for sale!"

"Ten silver coins."

"Fuck off!"

Everyone in the store laughed together, thinking that the person who offered the price was teasing a child.

Wang Ye also ignored the boy who was asking for a price, put away the fake treasure map, and then watched Lei Mu's lottery draw.

Lei Mu's lottery drawing speed is a little slower than Wang Ye's. He should have a detailed feeling of what he caught, and he should give up once or twice if he thinks it's not good.

In the end, Lei Mu got three prizes: a damaged compass, a herb box, and a bag of seeds.

From the point of view of overall value, these three things drawn by Lei Mu are much better than those drawn by Wang Xiaoye.

No matter what was drawn, both were satisfied, and it was a joy to them.

Like the good thing that Xiao Yezi got the mad drug king's inheritance book last time, neither of them expected or hoped to do it again.

The clerk sent the two to the door all the way, and welcomed them to come back next time.

A few steps out of the store, Wang Ye and Lei Mu stopped together and turned around.

The people behind stopped and hesitated for a while. The person stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Let's talk over there. People come and go here, so it's inconvenient."

Neither of them moved.

Wang Ye recognized the other party. Isn't this the boy who called the treasure map twice before?

"You want my treasure map?" Wang Ye said directly.

The young man pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "I won't hide it from you. Actually, that picture was drawn by my father. This is a fake picture. Back then, my father also faked it for his livelihood. He drew the same picture. One hundred pieces, I have seen too many, and I can tell at a glance. I am his son, so it’s fine if I don’t find his works. Now that I find out, I can’t let this fake work continue to spread to deceive people. So I want to share with you You buy it."

There was a hint of sadness in the boy's eyes: "It's also a memorial, my father passed away a year ago."

"Oh." Wang Ye's expression did not seem to be sympathetic, but rather mocking.

Resisting the desire to beat someone up, the young man continued: "I can offer up to twenty silver coins, and you all know that this picture is worthless at all. If it weren't for the fact that this picture is my father's posthumous work..."

The young man shook his head, "This picture, you take it back and throw it in the stove, why not exchange it for twenty silver coins, what do you think?"

Wang Ye raised two fingers: "I can sell it to you, but at least two hundred gold coins."

The boy opened his eyes wide and blurted out, "You guys are cheating!"

Wang Ye was upset: "Where did we cheat people? I just asked the price, and I didn't force you to buy it. If you think the price is high, you don't have to buy it."

The young man gritted his teeth: "Two hundred gold coins is impossible. If I had two hundred gold coins... I would have rescued my father, and my father would not have to make a fake plan to cheat money."

As he said that, the rims of the boy's eyes turned red.

Wang Ye moved: "Don't cry! I'll just sell it to you, but at least two gold coins, no less."

The young man cursed secretly in his heart, but two gold coins were much better than two hundred, so he hesitated and said with red eyes: "Is one gold coin okay? I really don't have that much money."

Wang Ye sighed: "Okay, today I will be a little master and do a good deed every day."

Wang Ye took out the animal skin picture.

The boy also took out a gold coin.

The two exchanged.

The young man suppressed his ecstasy, held the animal skin picture tightly, quickly stuffed it into his arms, turned around and left, and disappeared in two or three strokes.

Seeing this, Lei Mu finally spoke, "That kid didn't tell the truth."

Wang Ye tossed the gold coin, and said lazily: "I know, it's very interesting to watch him perform. If I didn't know about the school's clubs today, I would have thought that the school had a performing arts club."

"He is also a student of Meteor?" Lei Mu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't see it.

Wang Ye put away the gold coin: "There is a magic circle mark on the back of his hand. I saw it at school today. It should be a mark belonging to a certain club or a school organization."

Wang Ye opened the karma scroll smoothly, and the information displayed on the karma scroll also verified his guess.He also saw the boy's name and a brief introduction to his life experience.

Shan Tianxing, following his mother's surname, his father turned out to be a member of the royal family of Chunmu Shangguo, but concealed his identity and left Chunmu Shangguo, married a wife and had children outside, and died mysteriously a year ago.

This kind of background, tsk!

"Is that picture real?" This is what Lei Mu wants to know most now.

Wang Ye: "Yes." After the young man came out with them, he applied the identification technique to the animal skin map.

Lei Mu was shocked: "It's real, you sold it to him for a gold coin?"

Wang Ye said indifferently: "It's not mine, it's too tiring to force it. It's mine, and it will come back sooner or later."

On the karma scroll, the color of the causal line between the animal skin diagram and the boy is much deeper than his.He's crazy to keep making trouble for himself and come back.

Isn't it just a treasure map...

Ow!Heart hurts!

That's a treasure map, who knows how many good things there are in that treasure location, if they all belong to him, maybe he won't have to worry about raising the baby anymore.

"How did that boy know that the treasure map is genuine? Does he also have the eye of truth?" Lei Mu guessed.

Wang Ye shook his head: "False stories are sometimes adapted based on the truth. It is more likely that the boy's father got the real treasure map, but the news leaked out, so he made a hundred fake maps and released them for self-protection." To confuse the audience, maybe the real picture was not kept in the end, or it was put in a special place in a certain way, but it ended up in the lottery box of the grocery store. The boy knew it, but because he couldn’t pay a hundred gold coins The price, or if I didn’t get it, I’ve been waiting for someone to get the picture of the animal skin.”

Lei Mu also felt that this speculation was very close to the truth, "This is too coincidental. What kind of luck are you doing? The first lottery draw allowed you to draw the Mad Medicine King and his inherited pharmacopoeia. The second lottery draw unexpectedly gave You pull out a treasure map. But this thing seems to be a trouble, and it's being targeted, so it's good to sell it."

"Yeah, why am I so lucky?" Wang Ye Wangtian sighed.

Could it be that he was reborn once and became the child of destiny?

Or……

"Mumu, let's go and steal the lottery box from the grocery store." Wang Ye said seriously.

"Hahaha, that's a good idea, maybe there are a lot of good things in that box." Lei Mu laughed for a while and found that Xiao Yezi was telling the truth!

He really wanted to steal that lottery box.

That night, Meteor City broke out a bit of news.

It is said that there was a thief, really young, only eight years old, who sneaked into the Morning Star grocery store after closing to steal.

And this little thief regards other precious goods in the store as nothing, and goes straight to the lucky draw box as soon as he enters the store!

That's right, what the thief wanted to steal was the lottery box.

Just when the thief was about to put the lottery box into the storage tool, he was caught by the shopkeeper.

The little thief made a lot of noise, attracting the attention of the patrol team, and finally the little thief entered the temporary detention center of the Public Security Bureau.

There are many thieves in Meteor City, and quite a few thieves have been caught. Normally, this kind of thing would not make news at all, but who made this little thief too young and the things he stole are too funny? The most important thing is that the Meteor City Security Bureau has already Find out the identity of the thief.

This little thief turned out to be a student who applied for the Meteorite Magic School this year, and has already been admitted by the school, and his talent is extraordinary, it is said that his qualifications are in the eighth grade.

The next morning, this news was spread throughout Meteor City, most people laughed out loud when they heard the news, they just took it as an anecdote.

why?Because as the news spread, the fact that this little thief spent more than a thousand gold coins in this shop also broke out.

A young genius who can easily spend thousands of gold coins and be admitted to the Meteor Magic School, but ran to steal a low-value lottery box in the middle of the night, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a child's prank, or a child's impulse.

reason?

Of course, the kid didn't draw any good things in the six lottery draws, so I'm annoyed!

The Teaching Management Office of Meteor Magic School.

Dean... Bah, the vice principal slapped the table angrily, pointed at Wang Xiaoye who was standing in front of the table with his head bowed, and scolded: "What do you want me to say about you? You didn't learn well at a young age, and you went to steal? And what kind of eyes do you have? There are so many good things left there, why do you have to go to get that worthless and tattered lottery box? Tell me, are you sleepwalking?"

The mouth corners of the sheriff and shopkeeper standing aside twitched: Hey, this is too obvious a cover-up.

Lei Mu, who was also present as a parent: "..." It seemed that it was not his turn to exert his strength.

Wang Ye pointed his fingers and said timidly: "Principal, I have something to say."

"Tell me, is someone not letting you speak?" The vice principal glared at the child.

Wang Ye raised his head bravely: "Then I said it. I didn't intend to steal the lottery box, but I really went there, and I don't know what happened. Last evening, my brother and I went shopping in that store. During the lottery draw, something bit me. I didn't care at the time, so I went back to the school dormitory with my brother. But in the middle of the night, I didn't know why I ran to the grocery store. When I woke up , the shopkeeper was already standing next to me, grabbed me, and said I was a thief."

Wang Ye puffed up his mouth: "I am so rich, how can I be a thief? Even if I want to steal, I will steal high-level magic crystals and high-level magic beast eggs. I can't do high-level potions and high-level magic weapons. I will steal a broken one." What's the lottery box for?"

Everyone: ... I can't see that your vision is so high.

The vice-principal grasped the key: "You just said that you felt something bit you when you drew the lottery?"

"Maybe it was just rubbing, I don't know. I didn't leave a wound on my hand." Wang Ye raised two small paws.

The vice-principal waved his hand, asked Wang Xiaoye to stand aside, and said to the owner of the Morning Star grocery store and the security officer: "I believe that the students in our school will not do such a cheap thing. Or, let's take a look at the lottery box first?"

Sheriff: "..." That's too much Hey, that's not how you protect your weaknesses.

The owner of Morning Star forcefully forced a smile: "No need, it's just a trivial matter. Since this little...little classmate said that he didn't mean to steal, it might really be sleepwalking."

The vice-principal said sternly: "I can't say that, sleepwalking is just my guess, since the kid said something bit him in the lottery box, and he entered your shop in the middle of the night without any subjective consciousness, then we have to put the matter to rest." Check it out, open the box, and take a look at the contents, even if it is to give the child a clean slate. Our school should not be stigmatized for this."

"It can't be disassembled! It's a family heirloom of my family, and three generations of our family have put so many things in it, how can we take it all out?" The rotten slippers he threw in were even more messy things, how could he take them out for others to see.

The shopkeeper of Morning Star took a deep breath and smiled again: "I remembered, there might be an egg of the Demon Heart Bat in that lottery box. It hatched in the box. If this little classmate encounters the devil heart bat, he may indeed be confused. The devil heart bat does not want to recognize the owner, nor does he want to be discovered, so he secretly confuses the child and asks him to come and get the lottery box , so that the Devil Heart Bat can escape from the box with the help of that child."

It's not easy for the sheriff to admire the shopkeeper. He came up with such a logical reason in such a short period of time.

The vice-principal looked at the owner of Morningstar with a blank expression: "Are you sure?"

"I'm very sure." The owner of the Morning Star shop took the initiative: "I will disclose this discovery in Meteor Star City to clear up the grievances of this little classmate."

The vice-principal was satisfied, nodded and said: "I'm not speaking for the students of our school, but since your customers are for the students of our school, just like this little boy who is not as tall as your waist, how can you be careless?" Throwing monster eggs into the invisible blind lottery box? Or a dangerous monster like the magic heart bat. If the magic heart bat confuses the child to commit suicide or hurt others, who will bear the consequences?"

The owner of Morning Star said with an expression on the verge of tears: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, and I'm willing to compensate this little friend for his loss. How about this, he spent a total of 1655 gold coins in our store before, and our store can return him two of them. If it becomes the amount, it will be regarded as our capital to bring him the goods, and we will not make him any money."

The owner of Morning Star also turned to Wang Ye and said, "I hope this little compensation will satisfy you. If you need anything in the future, come to our store and we will give you a [-]% discount."

Wang Ye: "You want to return me 331 gold coins?"

Morningstar owner: "...Yes."

Wang Ye immediately smiled like a spring flower: "Uncle, I forgive you."

Everyone's voice: Damn you little bastard!I really want to fight.

The sheriff was particularly sympathetic to the shopkeeper, sincerely.When the shopkeeper counted out 331 gold coins and handed them to Wang Ye with great distress, the magistrate said goodbye to the vice principal and took the shopkeeper away.
