Three demon generals' natal dominoes can be exchanged for a space belt!
Chen Ke looked at the three dominoes in the alley with a look of shock.
He never thought that the space belt he had been talking about would be obtained so easily.
After regaining his composure, Chen Ke closed the box and said, "Master Qin, this gift is too valuable. I feel unworthy of it."
Qin Kaishan raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean? My life is not worth as much as a belt?!"
Comparable, of course comparable, Chen Ke was sweating profusely and was speechless.
His original idea was to just spend money to buy the three dominoes, after all, they were too expensive.
But looking at Qin Kaishan's expression, it seemed a bit vulgar to talk about money at this time.
Qin Kaishan said solemnly: "Mr. Chen, this gift is not only from my heart, but also from the soldiers defending the city. Everyone has seen everything you have done for us!"
Since the outbreak of the war, most of the huge and heavy supply transportation for the army has been borne by the Shuzhou Chamber of Commerce.
As the leader of the Shuzhou Chamber of Commerce, the Chen family has often taken the lead in donating money and materials.
As for Chen Ke, he initiated a fundraising campaign for the fallen soldiers at the Haotian Academy, and then he took out two million taels of silver to set up a foundation specifically to help the orphans of those soldiers.
One thing after another, without any empty talk, solved real and big problems for the Southern Army.
How could the soldiers not be grateful?
The soldiers of the empire are all iron-blooded men, without any tricks. If you are good to me, I will be good to you, it's that simple.
According to past practice, after each war, many injured soldiers were unable to receive proper treatment, and the mortality rate was as high as 30%.
But in this war, because of Chen Ke's superb suturing skills, the death rate of soldiers incredibly dropped to 10%.
In other words, not only Qin Kaishan, but thousands of imperial soldiers survived because of Chen Ke!
Qin Kaishan was of course well aware that if these three demon generals' natal bonnets were taken to the black market, they would definitely be sold at a sky-high price.
Even if he sold these three dominoes directly to Chen Ke, it would be a big favor.
But what would become of him if he took Chen Ke's money?
Would the wounded soldiers who survived because of Chen Ke look at him like this?
What do the orphans of soldiers who benefited from Chen Ke think of him?
How would those brothers who fought side by side with him and died on the battlefield look upon him in their afterlife?
Qin Kaishan can't afford to lose this person!
As the supreme commander of the Meicheng garrison, Qin Kaishan knew all the inside stories of this demon invasion.
He knew that the real purpose of the demon army's invasion was to cooperate with the Eight-Winged Goddess to sneak into the Haotian Academy.
He also knew that at the most critical moment, it was Chen Ke who risked his life to lower the secret room mechanism and block the Eight-Winged Goddess.
There is no doubt that Chen Ke is a hero. If it were not for Chen Ke, the blow suffered by Haotian Academy would be unimaginable.
However, Chen Ke did not receive fair treatment, but instead was burdened with inexplicable insults.
Qin Kaishan knew everything, but due to the need for confidentiality, he was unable to defend Chen Ke or speak up for him.
This frustrating feeling was as if his subordinates died bravely in battle but could not even enjoy the honor of martyrs.
It was as if his subordinates had clearly made military achievements, but were wiped out by those civil servants and instead were charged with false charges.
For a professional soldier, military merit is extremely sacred.
Military achievements should not be desecrated.
The three natal dominoes are Qin Kaishan's intentions.
The three natal dominoes are medals awarded to Chen Ke by Qin Kaishan!
Qin Kaishan hit his chest with his fist, saluted solemnly, turned around and strode away.
Chen Ke held the box and looked at Qin Kaishan's departing back, feeling quite complicated.
He couldn't fully understand the meaning of the military salute, but he could still vaguely feel it.
Not long after, the butler Chen Xiaofu, who had seen the guests off, returned to the hall and saw Chen Ke sitting there in a daze, so he walked straight up to him.
"Master, now on the black market, a demon general's natal bone tablet has been sold for three hundred thousand taels of silver."
Chen Ke nodded and said seriously, "Uncle Chen, write a letter to my father, asking him to take care of the soldiers defending the city as much as possible."
Chen Xiaofu hastily agreed, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Master, during the days you were away, we have collected a lot of dominoes from the demon soldiers according to the master's instructions!"
There is such an operation? Chen Ke was shocked.
The so-called demon soldiers are actually the demon clan's own people. Of course, they claim to be the descendants of the sun god.
The demon soldiers have the same torso and limbs as humans, but their bodies are covered with a thick layer of keratin and their faces have almost no facial features, which are said to be caused by the sun.
According to the exchange rules, a demon soldier's natal bone can be exchanged for a bottle of elixir, but it is mainly aimed at practitioners below the thirty-sixth level.
Pills above level thirty-six require three demon soldier bones to exchange.
In addition, the skeletons of monsters that have been baptized by the sun god's light can also be exchanged for some elixirs and weapons.
Chen Ke said to Chen Xiaofu, "Uncle Chen, go and count them. I will exchange them all tomorrow morning."
After all, Haotian Academy is a place for students to study, and alchemy is a side job, so the quality of the pills refined is average, and the variety is not complete.
However, the Ziyun Sword Sect is different. It is the largest sect of practitioners in Shuzhou. They are famous for their swordsmanship and alchemy.
Now that Chen Ke's cultivation has reached the first level of meridian refining, if he wants to speed up his practice, the assistance of elixirs is indispensable.
It was my rich father who had the foresight to start collecting dominoes as soon as possible and saved up a fortune for me.
Chen Ke returned to the room in the courtyard, lay down on the soft and wide bed, tossed and turned for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Chen Ke got up early, washed up, had breakfast, and set off carrying a box.
He was wearing a huge mask that almost covered his entire face, with only his eyes moving around.
In previous lives, wasn't this how those who won the Double Color Ball jackpot received their prizes?
Chen Ke's landlord, Aunt Zhang, had to wear a mask and sunglasses even when exchanging lottery tickets worth 500 yuan.
However, it was only after he went out that Chen Ke realized that he had made a mistake.
People on the street were looking at him with strange eyes.
It was as if the four big words "I'm going to claim the prize" were written on his forehead.
Then he became proud again and said, "So what if I was seen going to claim the prize? Do you know who I am?"
Suddenly, Aunt Hua from the "Mitian Gong" silk shop cast a questioning look at him. Chen Ke was startled and quickly quickened his pace.
After many twists and turns, Chen Ke arrived at the North City, in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
There were already quite a few disciples waiting at the door to go in and exchange their tickets. Surprisingly, quite a few of them were wearing large masks.
Chen Ke hesitated for a moment, his eyes fixed on a tall and thin man wearing a mask.
Ma Xiaoshu, you scum, I would recognize you even if you turned into ashes!
