Chapter 439: Tiankeng Gathering
After the instructor left, Bai Mi said, "Doesn't your conscience hurt when you lie?"
"Do you think I have a conscience?"
Bai Mi shook her head.
"Stupid death!"
Bai Xiaomi also pulled a chair and sat down beside him, finally having the opportunity to watch the training from the perspective of a bystander, not to mention that it felt really good, reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from Zhang Chi's pocket, it was the first time since he came to Tiankeng that he enjoyed it so much.
"White Millet ......"
"Be quiet!" Bai Mi glared at him viciously.
Zhang Chi said: "Mi Xiaobai, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that those ghosts will come to arrest you again?"
Bai Xiaomi concentrated on eating melon seeds and didn't want to deal with him.
Zhang Chi said: "We can go back in a week." ā
Bai Xiaomi pursed her lips, knowing the thoughts of this product.
"Missing a girlfriend?"
"I'm not a child. ā
"Cut!"
Bai Xiaomi stuffed the melon seed shell into the garbage bag on Zhang Chi's body, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his pocket, which were quite fragrant.
Zhang Chi said: "What are they doing with you? What secrets do you have? Share and share." ā
Bai Xiaomi said: "I don't know, I'm not Tang Seng, why do I attract monsters so much." ā
Zhang Chi said: "Tang Seng looks much whiter than you. ā
Bai Xiaomi has been a little tanned in the past few days, and when he said this, a handful of melon seeds smashed directly into his face.
"What quality!"
Bai Mi got up and said, "I really don't have a common language with people like you. He turned around and walked two steps and came back, taking out two more handfuls of melon seeds from Zhang Chi's pocket.
Zhang Daxian looked at this female robber who was blatantly robbing, and said a little aggrieved: "You eat me and drink me, and you actually bully me." ā
Bai Mi said confidently: "This place of poor mountains and bad waters, I can't find it if I want to bully others!"
Not long after Bai Mi left, Wang Xiangyang appeared at the door of the office and beckoned to Zhang Chi: "Classmate Zhang Chi!"
Zhang Chi pretended to be asleep and ignored him, Wang Xiangyang sighed and could only come to Zhang Chi's side, patted him on the shoulder, Zhang Chi opened his eyes and pretended to wake up: "Teacher Wang, I'm dreaming of spring." ā
Wang Xiangyang's face was a little green, this kid had a problem with his thoughts, so he slapped Zhang Chi on the head and said, "Don't dream, prepare to buy goods from the canteen." ā
"I'm not going. ā
Wang Xiangyang said: "Today, the base is understaffed, and Lao Li, who buys vegetables, is sick, and the chef Qian called you to go over and help." ā
Zhang Chi recently got together with a few people in the canteen every night to break eggs, and the relationship was quite good, I heard that the chef elder Qian was looking for him by name, and it was not good to save his face, and when he came to the kitchen, he saw that Lao Qian's huge ass was sitting on a small bench and recording the dishes that needed to be purchased, which looked the same as the wedge butt of the small bench, and the picture was very funny.
Zhang Chi walked over and called Brother Qian, and Lao Qian smiled: "Don't you often say that you want to go outside? ā
Zhang Chi smiled: "Okay!" After staying in the base for more than two weeks, it was boring to eat and sleep, and finally had the opportunity to go out and let off steam.
At this time, I saw Xue Hongguang coming over with a subordinate, and the two of them would also go together, responsible for their safety along the way, which was also stipulated by the rules for the base personnel to go out.
Xue Hongguang didn't have a good impression of Zhang Chi, and he regretted putting this guy into the base, the base has never seen such an idle person since its formation, Xue Hongguang is an upright person, a person who can't rub sand in his eyes, and the most annoying thing is Zhang Chi's industrious gangster.
"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Xue Hongguang's attitude was a little arrogant.
Zhang Chixin said that Lao Tzu was helping in Tianma Garden, and you didn't even count as cells at that time, so he nodded and said, "I know a little bit about it." ā
Xue Hongguang said: "The horses in Tiankeng are different from the outside world, and they have a very strong temperament. ā
Lao Qian said: "You can take a carriage." ā
Xue Hongguang said: "The carriage still has to pull goods!"
After they were ready, they went to the stable, Lao Qian drove a two-passenger carriage, Xue Hongguang and his subordinate Xiao Zhao have their exclusive mounts, there are more than 30 horses in the stable, most of them are exclusive mounts, and there are more than ten horses, there are public and domesticated, the public temper is relatively docile, no one can ride a temper, the horses that are domesticated are much more violent, not to mention novices, even veterans like Xue Hongguang dare not ride out now.
Zhang Daxian took a fancy to a black horse isolated alone, this black horse with a black coat and shiny color, recently captured from the sinkhole for a month, because this black horse has a violent and aggressive temperament, when he was first imprisoned with other horses, he provoked a dispute, kicked off the front legs of a mount, and when he domesticated, he fell the horse trainer off his back on the spot, and broke his body in many places. So it was fed in isolation, and no one was happy to touch it anymore.
Zhang Chile walked over to the horse, and Lao Qian hurriedly stopped: "Zhang Chi, that black horse can't be touched, it's too wild." ā
Zhang Chi said: "I just like the wild ones, they are delicious enough!"
Came to the black horse, reached out and touched the horse's face.
"Watch out for it biting you!" said Old Qian.
But the black horse didn't react violently, Zhang Chi touched it a few times on its face, held its ears as if to say something to it, and then asked the old money to bring the bridle saddle.
Everyone was stunned, this violent black horse was as docile as a little sheep in front of Zhang Chi, could this thing understand horse language?
Zhang Chi put a bridle on the black horse, pulled a leather tube to the side to bathe the horse, and by the way, used the heat energy of the palm to help heat the water temperature, so as not to cause the black horse to get sick due to the water being too cold, wash it clean, put on the saddle, and turn over on the horse.
Bai Mi was eating apples at the door of the dormitory and watching the training of her classmates, and when she saw three knights escorting a carriage towards the gate, she couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and when she found that one of the knights who was riding on a big black horse to show off her might was Zhang Chi, and the apple in her mouth forgot to swallow it.
The eight hard-working trainees on the training ground also saw the scene in front of them, and the unbalanced anger value in their hearts came to a big skewer, they felt that their hard work was ignored, the sinkhole is the same as the outside, it doesn't mean that if you have the strength, you will definitely be able to eat, some people try to win honor with a positive attitude, but some people find another way to get benefits from the beginning by isolating themselves from the people.
Before coming to the base, everyone thought that it was a great shame to be unqualified, but now everyone's opinion has changed, and being unqualified is not the destruction of the world, and it feels that there are also benefits of being unqualified.
Zhang Daxian rode on a black and shiny high-headed horse, his body was jolting up and down triumphantly, looking full of the landlord's evil temperament, in short, he was very underbeaten.
Xue Hongguang and Xiao Zhao were on either side of him, feeling like two followers.
Xue Hongguang, who was the first to feel this, sped up his horse speed and came to the front to lead the way, and Xiao Zhao also followed.
Zhang Chi fell at the end and sang loudly.
"You carry the burden, I lead the horse, usher in the sunrise and send away the sunset, step on the bumpy road, fight the hardships and dangers and set off again...... Set off again...... Apprentices, let's go grocery shopping!"
Old Qian laughed, shook a horsewhip, and praised: "What a good singing!"
Xue Hongguang said: "Grandstanding!"
Zhang Chi said: "Instructor Xue, the base authentication system is not working from time to time, will you not recognize me again when you turn around?"
Xue Hongguang said: "It's too much, do you still know who you are?"
Zhang Chi patted the black horse's head: "Tiankeng, Tiankeng, it's really a big pit!"
The sinkhole market is mobile, the earliest is the place where the sinkhole homeless people spontaneously formed a place to barter, as time goes by, more and more people, and even the base also sends people to shop, although the base has a unified distribution of materials, but also from time to time to buy some sinkhole specialties.
Today's market is located in the southeast of the base, at Baishitan Beach, which opens at 11 o'clock at noon, and not far from Baishitan is the Geocentric Forest.
The road from the base to Baishitan is very flat, the market was just formed when the scale was very small and the location was not fixed, in recent years it has been relatively fixed, basically in Baishitan, one of the reasons is that the base of the purchase volume is very large, the market of course to choose a place closer to the base.
They arrived at the market at twelve o'clock, when the sun was at its best and the most crowded time of the day, and there were hundreds of people on the scene.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Zhang Chi secretly thought in his heart, there are a lot of displaced people in the sinkhole, and it is estimated that there are thousands of people accumulated all year round, most of these people have contributed to the base, because their bodies are affected by the aura, so they have to be trapped in this place, and they can never return to the normal life of the past, and the base is not righteous enough for them.
Tie the horse outside, the four walked into the market, the market is not big, but in the sinkhole is already quite lively, after the old money buys goods, the owner will send the goods to the parking area, the service is considerate.
The materials purchased by Lao Qian are mainly fruits, wild vegetables and herbs, and Xue Hongguang is not only here to be responsible for safety, as soon as he appears, many homeless people surround him and hand over bags of spirit stones to him, Xue Hongguang registers them according to the color and weight of the spirit stones, and then distributes purchase vouchers to those homeless people.
Zhang Chi smashed the old money with his arm and said, "Do you want to line up to pay the public grain?"
Lao Qian said: "No, just buy the spirit stones, give them the corresponding points, according to the number of spirit stones, you can exchange them for items and medicines of the same value." "The carriage did not come empty, it carried a lot of medicines and daily necessities.
Zhang Chi said: "Do this all the time?"
Lao Qian said: "There are also middlemen, we buy some when we come to the market, and most of them still rely on middlemen." ā
Zhang Chi thought of Cao Chengguang, who had been thinking about his queen crystal, and looked around, but fortunately he didn't see the shadow of the profiteer.
Zhang Chi also wandered around, he didn't have a spirit stone on him, and the role of a spirit stone in this market was almost equivalent to currency. But fortunately, he was able to barter, he took out his sagare, binoculars, and watches to change, these things can be found everywhere after he goes back, but they are rare things in the sinkhole, and the three things are actually exchanged for 200g spirit stones.
Came to an old lady's stall, took a fancy to a piece of jadeite, the water head is full of glass and all green, a question about the price is only 50g spirit stone, Zhang Chi did not even talk about the price and replaced it, just this piece of jade to bring back can not be sold for millions, and the profit has doubled!
Stuffed the jade into the backpack, didn't walk a few steps and saw someone selling old mountain ginseng, the price of the old ginseng of a certain length was only 10g, Zhang Chi saw that the thief looked like a profiteer, so he cut a knife and bid 5g two, but he didn't expect the profiteer to hand him the two mountain ginseng.
Later, Zhang Chi learned that the ginseng here is not valuable, it is like a white radish outside, it can be dug everywhere, and 5g spirit stones can buy a large bundle, so he spent an extra 5g to make up for the warehouse, after all, it is convenient to give away this thing when I go back, and there are more elderly people who know it, so it is more appropriate to send ginseng.
The market is not very big, and I basically looked at the goods from beginning to end, after all, the place is limited, and the products in the sinkhole are these, so many people sell similar things, and they are surprised at first, and they are tired after seeing more.
Zhang Chi also saw that someone was selling the queen bee crystal, a circle of people looked around, a royal crystal the size of a mung bean was priced at 3000g spirit stone, Zhang Daxian compared it in his heart, and knew that his queen crystal was more valuable, and it was already a priceless treasure in the sinkhole.
Zhang Chi didn't join in the fun, and came to a blacksmith stall sharpening scissors and kitchen knives, the blacksmith is also a dwarf, but he is short and stout, and he is a circle bigger than Cao Chengguang, especially the bare arms, which are thicker than ordinary people's thighs, and the proportions of his body are very incongruous.
Zhang Chi pulled out his Freedom Heavenly Palace Sword and asked him to help sharpen it, the blacksmith took Zhang Chi's ancient sword and glanced at it and said, "Your sword is cracked!"
Zhang Chi knew that the other party was an expert when he heard it, nodded his head, and gave a thumbs up: "Master's eyes are really poisonous!"
The blacksmith said, "How many spirit stones did you get in exchange?"
ā30gļ¼ā
The blacksmith grinned and said: "Cao Chengguang sold it to you, right? He is really black enough, this is not an ancient sword, antique, the steel is not good, although it looks bright and sharp, but the rigidity and toughness are insufficient, once it is used in actual combat, it is easy to break, and who did you ask to make up for it before? Stuff some spirit stones into the sword, the spirit stones are melted, these two materials are not so easy to compatible, just like cooking, you put two good ingredients together, but they clash with each other, but the ingredients are corrupted." ā
Zhang Chi heard what he said, and said with a smile: "Master, do you think my sword can still be repaired?"
The blacksmith glanced up at him and said, "You're from the base?"
Zhang Chi nodded: "Those who came to intern will go back soon." ā
"Then you don't know the rules of the base, you can't take any spirit stones out, in fact, it's useless for you to take them out, if you leave the realm of the sinkhole, the spirit stones will automatically disintegrate immediately. ā
"My ancient sword is gone?"
The blacksmith said: "I have to go back to the furnace to rebuild, it will take about an hour, if you decide, I will collect 10g of spirit stones." ā
Zhang Chi couldn't bear to bargain when he heard that he wanted it so cheaply, nodded and handed him the ancient sword, the blacksmith untied the hemp rope on the handle, and read: "From the palace......"
"There's still on the back. ā
"The palace is in the sky!"
"Comfortable in the Heavenly Palace!" Zhang Daxian hurriedly corrected.
The blacksmith smiled: "In this way, I will also wrap the hilt of the sword for you, and you can give me 15g spirit stones." ā
"20g, the extra is a tip. "Zhang Daxian is a cheerful person.
The blacksmith nodded, and before starting work, he specially broke his wrist with Zhang Chi to test Zhang Chi's wrist strength, and then started to work, his sword-casting furnace was also fueled by spirit stones, and the spirit stones the size of rice grains were poured into the pink alkaline liquid, and the heat immediately rose, and the antique sword was thrown into the furnace, and the sword body quickly turned red.
Zhang Chi soon found that the blacksmith was not helping him to repair it, but really re-forging, in addition to the material of the sword itself, a variety of metals were added more than doubled, Zhang Chi secretly sighed that this dwarf has a kind character, compared to Cao Chengguang, it is simply two extremes, it seems that there are good people everywhere and bad people everywhere.
The big sword began to take shape, the blacksmith picked up the hammer and began to forge it, don't look at his figure is less than one meter four, but the strength is indeed great, pick up the hammer and use all his strength to forge on the big sword, sparks are everywhere.
Zhang Chi looked at it from the sidelines and felt excited.
Lao Qian also walked over to sharpen his sword, and when he saw Zhang Chi forging a sword, he said with a smile: "You have found the right person, Master Hong is the most powerful blacksmith in our sinkhole." ā
Blacksmith Hong said: "Old money, I haven't patronized my business for a few days." ā
Lao Qian said: "You are so good at forging kitchen knives, you don't use them for a year without sharpening knives, when will you make a fortune in business like this." ā
Blacksmith Hong laughed and said, "Even if you make a fortune in this sinkhole, you don't have a place to spend it." ā
Old Qian sighed, left a few kitchen knives, and went shopping.
Blacksmith Hong spent an hour helping Zhang Chi return the sword to the furnace to rebuild, and by the way, he helped him erase the four words of the Heavenly Palace, and re-engraved two words on it according to Zhang Chi's requirements.
The shape of this sword is a bit like the Goujian sword of King Yue during the Warring States Period, the sword is full of weight in the hand, the sword body is covered with fish scale-like forging patterns, uniform and dense, sparse and consistent, the sword body looks dark and dull, but the edge of the blade is sharp.
Blacksmith Hong pulled a hair, blew it gently, the hair was broken into two, and he split a sword according to the pebbles, and the pebbles were divided into two, and the cut surface was as smooth as a mirror.
Zhang Daxian was overjoyed, this Kengtian Sword was many times stronger than the previous Zigong Sword, and he was happy and paid an extra 10g tip to Blacksmith Hong, Blacksmith Hong was a little embarrassed: "How can I charge you more, otherwise, I will help you sharpen a few kitchen knives for free." ā
Zhang Chi hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't mind, they sharpen their knives with public funds, and I pay for it myself, so I have to distinguish between public and private, right?"
Blacksmith Hong smiled innocently: "But I still can't charge you more, what else do you have for me to do? ā
Zhang Chi is the first time to meet such a kind person, he thought about it, let Hong blacksmith help play a shield, Hong blacksmith dingding and knocking for a while, for him carefully made a multi-functional shield, the shield looks like a flat pot, the handle can be disassembled, the handle is turned over is a soup pot, the front is a frying pan baking tray, and the shield is composed of more than 20 parts, usually not in use can be put away for easy carrying, when needed to open like a fan to unfold, the price is not high, only 50g spirit stone is collected.
Zhang Daxian was full of praise for the craftsmanship of the blacksmith Hong, and this product was inspired again, he very much wanted to bring these things back, the shield was okay, but the goal of this big sword was too obvious, and when he returned to school, he was not allowed to report that he was carrying a controlled knife, and the big sword that was heavily forged could not be left in the base.
After hearing what he said, Blacksmith Hong said with a smile: "You didn't say it earlier, it turned out that you were going to transform the combined sword." ā
Zhang Chi said: "Yes, it's a transformation, just like a Transformer, you can't usually see it, but you can press it down and you can pop out a sword." ā
Blacksmith Hong said: "The process is a little more complicated, and it may take half a month to forge a sword like this. ā
Zhang Chi couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard this, after all, his time in Tiankeng was only a week, and he couldn't wait for a month.
Blacksmith Hong changed his words and said, "I have a knife like this, but the price is a little more expensive, and I need 500g spirit stones. He took out a flashlight-like metal object from the wooden box, pressed it on it, and heard the crusting sound of tinkling and dingding, and soon a long knife with no black appeared in front of Zhang Chi. Hong blacksmith swung it, and it was also a knife to split the pebbles, the sharpness was not inferior to Zhang Chi's pit Tian sword, after the cut, the blade was not damaged at all, pressed the switch to collect the sword, only heard Ding Ding Ding Ding, the internal mechanism started to fold, and instantly turned into the appearance of a flashlight, Zhang Daxian secretly sighed that Hong Blacksmith's craftsmanship is simply ingenious.
500g spirit stones sound a bit expensive, but it's worth the price, after all, this Transformers knife is made up of nearly a thousand parts.
Zhang Chi now only has a total of 60g spirit stones left, but he loves this transformation knife very much in his heart, and he has nothing to sell today, so he can only go to find Lao Qian, who doesn't have so many spirit stones, and suggests that he go to Xue Hongguang, after all, Xue Hongguang just bought a large number of them.
Xue Hongguang ignored Zhang Chi, he was already disgusted with this guy, but he had no problem with him, and now when he heard that he wanted to borrow a spirit stone, he didn't take the opportunity to make things difficult.
"I have the spirit stone, 2000g is no problem, but it is all public, I will lend it to you, what will you pay back?"
Zhang Chi said: "I'll pay you back when I go back, and I'll give you ten percent interest." "There are some spirit stones in the motor, and he estimates that he should be able to make up enough with other classmates, and it's a big deal to go out tomorrow to fight a few monsters." Spirit stones were useless to him, but that Transformers knife was too awesome and had to be taken away.
Xue Hongguang said: "I can't believe you! You still die of this heart." ā
Zhang Daxian only didn't beat this second goods, and now he knows what it means to be a hero who is hard to die for a penny, and he touched his body, but he didn't find anything valuable, and he didn't bring out the queen crystal, knowing that the thing was precious, so he handed it over to Bai Xiaomi to help keep it before he went out.
Blacksmith Hong is a real person, Zhang Chi is embarrassed to bargain with others, and when he was in trouble, he suddenly saw a mess in front of him.
