Chapter 20: A Little Thought

"Frost Leaf City can only be divided into other cities, mainly divided into four areas, namely the city lord's mansion in the north, where the city lord's mansion and the big family's residence are mainly located, the civilian area in the south, the commercial area in the west, mainly where various fang markets and chambers of commerce are stationed, and the only auction house in the city; the functional area in the east is mainly the residence of our mercenary union, martial arts hall and other forces, and the hunt will be held on Wenxin Lake in our east in a month. Today I will mainly take you to the western business district. ”

Frost Leaf City is not big, there are only more than 200,000 people in the whole city, it is considered the lowest city in this world, there are thousands of such cities in the Wanhua Continent, and there are countless of them, if it weren't for the annual hunting, maybe the city would have been annihilated in the long river of history.

The two of them walked for less than a quarter of an hour, and they had already reached the business district, which was the busiest in the city compared to the other three areas, with large chambers of commerce, all kinds of itinerant small merchants and vendors, and some fixed markets, where they bargained with each other.

"If you want to buy something, it's best to go to those large chambers of commerce, although their things are more expensive, but the quality is guaranteed, the price of other markets is slightly cheaper, but the quality is not a little worse than the things of the chamber of commerce, of course, if you have a vision, you can also go to those stalls to Taobao, there may be a surprise, of course, in most cases, are some rags. Along the way, Li Bu'er kept introducing Chen Donglai next to him.

When I came to these stalls, I saw that the things I bought were simply varied, mainly medicinal materials, demon beast materials, weapons, and all kinds of strange things, and even the slave trade that had been banned in the previous life, which made people dazzled.

For Chen Donglai now, these things can only be enjoyable, because most things can't be bought, even if they can't afford them, such as demon beast materials or medicinal materials, it's useless to buy them for the time being, just run to join in the fun.

After a morning of wandering around the western business district with Li Buji, Chen Donglai had a general understanding of the trading activities in this world, where you can trade anything, even if it is a scarce martial art, as long as you have money, you can buy it, provided that you have money.

Just when Chen Donglai and Li Buji were about to return, a shop made Chen Donglai can't help but stop, Li Buji saw that it turned out to be a musical instrument custom, and said, "What's so beautiful about this thing? This is a thing that those nobles have eaten too much and have nothing to do, and it is useless for us!"

But Chen Donglai walked into this shop without hesitation, there was no guy in the shop, only an old man with gray hair and vicissitudes of life, and said without raising his head, "Look at it, pick it at will!" Then he was busy with the work in his hands, gently scraping a wooden strip with a knife.

The shop is not big, but the types of various musical instruments are very rich, each instrument has a brief introduction below, blowing, playing and singing, but Chen Donglai basically does not know, can only understand its use through the following introduction!

After looking around, Chen Donglai didn't find the instrument he liked, so he turned to the boss and said, "Shopkeeper, can you customize musical instruments according to customer requirements here?"

"Of course you can, it's just that it's not an existing instrument in our store, and we have to increase the price!" the boss didn't look up.

"I don't know how much a set is?"

"That depends on the actual situation of your instrument!"

"Do you have pen and paper?"

"Over there!" the boss gestured to the table by the window.

Coming to the table, Chen Donglai took up his pen and seriously recalled the structure of the erhu in his previous life, and then began to draw.

Erhu is the only musical instrument that Chen Donglai can use in his previous life, as an iron-blooded and ruthless mercenary, no one would have thought that Chen Donglai's only hobby in his previous life was to play erhu, which is a hobby that Chen Donglai has had since he was a child.

Chen Donglai has been an orphan since he was a child, before he was discovered by the mercenary group and trained as a qualified mercenary, he has been in a state of wandering, and his only hobby is to listen to the performers on the street to play the erhu, which is Chen Donglai's only spiritual sustenance in that hungry era, so he begged the entertainer to teach him the skills of playing the erhu.

In the later mercenary career, Chen Donglai had no friends, whenever he was alone in the dead of night, he always liked to hold the erhu alone and play various tunes, only the melodious and tactful rhythm of the erhu could allow Chen Donglai to find a trace of psychological comfort in that noisy and cold world.

Coming to this world, Chen Donglai still hopes to inherit this habit and be the only sustenance for a person on the lonely journey of his mercenary career.

After a while, Chen Donglai drew a sketch of the erhu, made a detailed text description next to it, and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, how much does it cost to make this instrument?"

The shopkeeper's drawing, after a serious look at it for a while, said in surprise, "This instrument is really unusual, it only has two strings! Who invented it?"

"Shopkeeper, just tell me how much this instrument costs and how long it will take to get it?"

"30 gold coins, if you think this price is appropriate, I'll start making it for you now, and you can come and get it tomorrow afternoon!"

"Okay! This is a deposit of 10 gold coins, then I will come over tomorrow afternoon to get it!" After receiving the shopkeeper's reply, Chen Donglai took out the 10 gold coins and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"Lao Qi, you are really generous, you actually spent 30 gold coins for a musical instrument, you must know that 30 gold coins can almost buy a quenching pill!" Out of the musical instrument store, Li Buji looked at Chen Donglai puzzled.

"In life, there must always be a little thought, if people don't have thoughts, how is it different from death?"

Back at the station, Chen Donglai put down other ideas, put all his thoughts on cultivation, first practiced 5 times into the "Fuhu Fist" of the "Military Body Fist", this set of boxing methods can not only improve his boxing skills, but also promote the blood quenching in the body, consolidate the foundation of the quenching blood realm, and prepare for the next step of impacting the skin realm.

Chen Donglai is ready to practice "Military Body Boxing" 10 times again tomorrow, and he is ready to take the Quenching Pill to impact the skin training realm, after all, his realm is indeed too low now.

Practiced "Fuhu Boxing", Chen Donglai practiced the "Basic Knife Method" 5 times, and the "Basic Leg Method" 10 times, the biggest shortcoming at present is the leg method, compared with the progress of the boxing method and the knife method, the progress of the leg method can be said to be slow and touching, so far, Chen Donglai can not continue to practice a set of "Basic Leg Method", can only practice one move at a time.

"It seems that we will have to strengthen the connection of the leg method in the future!" Chen Donglai thought silently in his heart.
