Chapter 33: Qiu Wanli
Walking into the pawn shop, the surrounding decoration is made of classical furniture, which can be said to be incompatible with modern technology.
But walking in it makes people feel inexplicably comfortable.
As the largest pawn shop in Liaozhou, the traffic inside is naturally quite terrifying.
"Boss, look at how much this flute is worth? Take a good look!" After entering, Yuri didn't say a word, but directly took out the flute that had just arrived and threw it to the boss.
Jiang Xiaofan, who was on the side, was stunned at first when he saw Yuli's actions, and then sighed, not knowing what to do.
The pawn shop owner took the flute and took a closer look.
Finally an offer was given.
"A million. β
"Ahem, ahem!" Before the other party's words fell, Jiang Xiaofan suddenly coughed violently twice.
"Boss, you read that right, this flute is worth a million?" Jiang Xiaofan immediately asked.
"That's right, the workmanship is beautiful at the moment, and the materials used are very rare. So the figure of one million is not an exaggeration......"
After a brief review, Yuri happily left the pawn shop with a large sum of money.
"I knew you were trying to make money, so I didn't participate for you. Jiang Xiaofan said suddenly.
"I thought you liked that thing, and I risked my life to snatch it for you!"
Yuli smiled: "That's right, I've liked this flute since the beginning, but I just value the flute itself." β
Jiang Xiaofan said helplessly: "This million is already a huge amount of money for us. β
For their current age, a million can buy a lot of things.
"We did an intercontinental jump for 100,000, two people went back and forth for 400,000, and it cost more than 100,000 to buy a flaming knife, and we won 1 million. Jiang Xiaofan calculated matter-of-factly.
"Dare you count all the expenses we spent here, and you ended up with more than 400,000 yuan!"
"It's you who makes the most money co-authoring!"
When Yuri heard this, she smiled indifferently: "Anyway, I got it legally, and I won't cause any trouble." The more money you have, the better!"
"Why, don't you envy me very much now?"
"Don't worry, I'll take you to eat delicious ang when I go back!"
Seeing Yuli's excited smile on her face, Jiang Xiaofan glanced at her.
Now Jiang Xiaofan looked at Yuli's face, and only two words were written.
"Profiteers. β
"Alright, now that you've got a weapon, why don't we go back?" said Yuri after leaving the pawn shop.
However, Jiang Xiaofan shook his head: "It's hard to come out, let's go shopping more, there are not many opportunities in normal times." β
In normal times, if there are no special circumstances, Jiang Xiaofan and others have always stayed in Xingzhou and rarely go out.
"And the cost of intercontinental jumps is so expensive, you can't waste it, right?"
Hearing what Jiang Xiaofan said, Yuli hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "What you said is not unreasonable, since this is the case, this girl will accompany you to go shopping again!"
As he spoke, he swaggered in front of Jiang Xiaofan.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaofan was only helpless, and then followed two steps and walked up.
It has to be said that as the only place where the cold weapon manufacturing flourishes in the Blue Star, the style of all the buildings is obviously different from other cities.
There are many attics, which have a classical atmosphere.
The streets are bustling with people and quite prosperous.
Walking on the blue brick street, I can't help but feel inexplicably cool in my heart.
The two walked and observed the storefronts lining the streets.
"Jiang Xiaofan, what's wrong, what are you looking at?" Yuli saw Jiang Xiaofan suddenly stop in front of a store, and immediately asked suspiciously, and at the same time followed the other party's gaze.
"Hatred!"
The name of the store is very unusual, there is no indication of what kind of store it is, and there are no items indicating the type of store at the entrance of the store.
"This shop doesn't look very good, and it doesn't say what kind of business it is, so how can someone come to the door?" Yuri said from the side.
It's just that Jiang Xiaofan seems to be quite curious.
"Judging by the dilapidated dΓ©cor of this storefront, it must have existed for many years. It hasn't gone out of business for so many years, I think there should be something special about it, why don't we go in and have a look!"
Before the words fell, Jiang Xiaofan walked in two quick steps.
Seeing that Jiang Xiaofan didn't wait for her, Yuli stomped her feet a little angrily at the moment, and finally followed.
However, after entering, the decoration inside really shocked the two.
The whole room was empty, not even furniture.
There was only one old man sitting in a rocking chair, shaking with his eyes closed at the moment, and he seemed to be very comfortable.
Even when he heard Jiang Xiaofan and the others coming in, he never opened his eyes.
"Hello old man!"
Jiang Xiaofan stepped forward and said hello.
However, the old man's appearance surprised Jiang Xiaofan.
The old man's face was pierced by a scar cut diagonally. It looks unusually horrifying, and the left eye seems to have lost its function due to the scarring.
"If you don't start work today, let's come back tomorrow if you have something. β
Hearing the shout, the old man still didn't look at the two of them, and said coldly.
"Hey, someone comes to the door, even if you don't start work, you have to be good at entertaining!" Yuri said dissatisfiedly when she saw the old man like this.
Even so, the old man still did not make a fuss or get angry, but stopped talking.
"Sir, I rushed here from Xingzhou and saw that your store was quite special, so I came in to have a look, it was really disturbing. Jiang Xiaofan said very politely, "I don't know what the old gentleman is doing when he opens this shop?"
"Huh?" The old man seemed to be interested in Jiang Xiaofan, and then slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Jiang Xiaofan.
As Jiang Xiaofan guessed, the old man's left eye could no longer be opened.
"You just said that you are from Xingzhou?"
"Yes, we are from Heungju. Jiang Xiaofan said.
After receiving an affirmative answer, the old man seemed to be a little more interested, and sat up immediately.
"It's rare to come from Xingzhou. The old man looked at Jiang Xiaofan and said.
"Young man, are you curious about my shop?" continued the old man, "I open this shop purely for entertainment, and when I am in a good mood, I will strike iron and make weapons." β
"Sword forger?" the two of them heard this, and at the same time let out a shocked voice.
In the era of the prevalence of *, cold weapons have gradually declined, and one profession that has gradually disappeared with it is the sword forger.
The number of sword forgers has been reduced to a very frightening level. It is difficult to see in ordinary cities, and I am afraid that only Liaozhou, where cold weapons are prosperous, will have this kind of profession.
Many modern people are keen on *, and they have a lukewarm attitude towards cold weapons. But as everyone knows, a top-level cold weapon created by a top-level caster will have such terrifying energy.
When he learned that the other party was a sword caster, Jiang Xiaofan became interested, and hurriedly said: "Old man, I take the liberty of asking you, is there any room for improvement in the power of this formed knife?"
When the old man heard this, he sneered and said, "Of course there is!"
"Even if the knife has already been formed, as long as it is crafted in my hands, the power will inevitably increase significantly!"
Speaking of casting, the old man seems to be interested.
Jiang Xiaofan was overjoyed when he heard this: "In that case, I have a knife, I don't know if the old gentleman can deign to refine it?"
"As long as you are willing to help, the reward will definitely satisfy you!"
As long as he can improve his strength, Jiang Xiaofan will naturally not let it go.
Because he knows very well that he urgently needs to improve his strength now, and only after reaching a certain level of strength can he be qualified to go to Tang Fengyi.
"Jiang Xiaofan, have you forgotten that we just sent the knife back?" Yuli on the side saw that Jiang Xiaofan's interest was so strong, and hurriedly reminded.
When the old man heard this, he squinted and smiled: "It's okay, if you want me to forge for you, you also need to go back to Xingzhou to get the reward I need." β
"Just bring the knife with you. β
Hearing the old man's words, Jiang Xiaofan was full of doubts: "I don't know what kind of reward the old gentleman wants, and do you still need us to go back to Xingzhou to get it?"
"All I need are the crystal nuclei and skulls of two ice wolves!"
"The crystal nucleus belongs to me, the skull, which is the raw material you need to refine your sword. β
Hearing what the old man said, Jiang Xiaofan was stunned.
"Jiang Xiaofan, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Jiang Xiaofan's expression a little strange, Yuli hurriedly asked, "Is this ice wolf terrifying?"
Jiang Xiaofan nodded and said, "I also saw it in some books. β
"Icewolves are social animals and rarely appear alone. This means that if you want to take off their crystal nuclei, you must be prepared to deal with the entire wolf pack. β
"Their strength is roughly equivalent to the D-class of our awakened ones. β
"Not only that, but the attack power of the Icewolf is also quite strong. Because the fur on the back of the ice wolf is all like an ice blade, very sharp. The slightest carelessness may become their food. β
Hearing that the ice wolf was so terrifying, Yuli looked panicked, and hurriedly pulled Jiang Xiaofan to leave.
"Let's go! Don't do that job! Can't put your life in for a weapon!" After hearing Jiang Xiaofan's words, Yuli hurriedly pulled Jiang Xiaofan and wanted to leave.
Then Jiang Xiaofan didn't move at all.
"Sir, I want to give it a try. β
Hearing what Jiang Xiaofan said, Yuli was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "Jiang Xiaofan, are you crazy? Don't you know how terrifying the ice wolf is?"
"Once you are in any danger, how can you go to Tang Fengyi?
However, after hearing Yuli's words, Jiang Xiaofan looked at her with a firm expression and said, "I know you are for my good, but I need to improve my strength now, even if I have a little chance, I have to give it a try." β
"Otherwise, I will never be able to find Feng Yi ......"
"Crazy, you're really a madman!" Seeing Jiang Xiaofan's decision, Yuli could only shake her head helplessly in the end.
And the old man on the side, after hearing Jiang Xiaofan's words, immediately showed a smile on Scar's face, looking a little weird.
"Little one, I didn't expect you to have such a heart. β
"Although your life or death has nothing to do with me, I still have to remind you that you must not be sent to death. β
