Chapter 2 There is a kind of friend called a lifelong opponent
Then, until the evening, Hao Yi's small grocery store did not wait for a second customer, his business was mainly aimed at spirit callers, ordinary people also had them, but very few, although it was not open for three years, but it was not at all less profitable than many delicately decorated shops on this street.
Hao Yi didn't waste any boring time when he usually visited the store, he was silently studying the alchemy technique, after all, this was his only skill to make a living, and he definitely couldn't slack off.
"Boss, come out to pick up customers!" Just as the orange light of the sunset shone into the door, an extremely arrogant voice came in from outside the door.
Hao Yi was so familiar with this voice that he didn't need to look at it to know who was coming. But before anyone could enter the store, the cheap voice sounded again, "Yo, Sister Yunge has brought food to this slut again, if you want me to say, starve him to death!"
"Brother Shi, I haven't seen you for a long time, is the training going well?" As Lu Yunge's sweet voice sounded, the arrogant voice from before suddenly seemed to be stuck, as if there was something wrong, why did this title sound so awkward!
Hao Yi in the store held back a smile, and there was a guy with an extremely fucked name, and when he raised his head, the two of them happened to appear at the door of the store at the same time, and Lu Yun was holding the rice bowl at noon.
"Yo, this shit brother, aren't you training with the Lin family's escort team, how do you have time to come to me? Could it be that the little young master of the Lin family finally saw your essence clearly and told you to get out?"
This young man is Hao Yi's good friend, named "Shi Fen"! Shi Fen Shi Fen, read it a few times, people can't help but think crookedly, anyway, this is a very meaningful name, ordinary people can't control it.
However, Shi Fen is different from Hao Yi, he manifested his summoning book two years ago, became a spirit summoner, and because of his outstanding talent, he was selected by the Lin family, one of the wealthy families in Fire Dragon City, to enter the guard training, and if he passed, he would become a member of the guard of Lin Qiheng, the young master of the Lin family.
Yes, the "talent" is outstanding, not the ethereal talent, but the talent that can be really "seen"! The summoning book will give the evoker a talent, which is written on the first page of the summoning book, and as long as the treasure book is successfully manifested, the talent will be opened at the same time. Evokers have a myriad of talents, some are very strong, and some are unspeakable.
Shi Fen glanced at Hao Yi with contempt: "A dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth!" Uncle Ben is now a powerful bronze-level soul summoner, and the training camp will be assessed in three months, and as long as he enters the top eight, he will be promoted to the official guard. ”
Bronze!
These two words sounded to Hao Yi, how could they be synonymous with weak chickens, and in fact, they were true. Evokers begin with the manifestation of the Treasure Book, and this stage is called the "first-born" level Soul Caller, which can be understood as the newborn of a rookie. On top of this are the stages of bronze, silver, gold, king, emperor, emperor, etc., only when you reach the king level, you are qualified to be called a strong party, and bronze, can only be regarded as a rookie taking off.
However, the sixteen-year-old bronze rank, and he is still from a civilian background, can indeed be used as a capital to brag, like the Uncle Wen who came at noon, he is over forty years old, and he is still jumping on the bronze level.
"Brother Shi, come on, you will definitely be able to!" Walking into the store with Shi Fen, Lu Yunge, who put the rice bowl in front of Hao Yi, blushed with excitement, and tried his best to cheer him on.
Shi Fen's family used to live on Honglian Street, and everyone grew up together with small hair and bare buttocks, because Hao Yi was alone, and his house became a playground for his friends. It wasn't until Shi Fen became a spirit caller and joined the Lin family's guard training camp that there were relatively few opportunities for everyone to meet in the past two years.
"Brother Shi has had dinner, I'll go get you one too." ”
"Thank you, Sister Yunge, but no need, I can't come out for too long, I have to go back soon. Shi Fen shook his head with a smile and said in a doting tone. He is the same age as Hao Yi, sixteen this year, and Lu Yunge is one year younger than them, fifteen.
Then, Shi Fengu showed his treasure book, and pulled out things, including medicinal materials, ores, and animal skins...... There are a lot of quantities, and the quality is also high and low, but the overall value is much higher than the ones that Uncle Wen brought at noon. In addition to the learning of necessary knowledge, the training of guards is mostly in battle, and the ability of the soul caller to fight independently is very poor at the low level, and they often act in small teams.
"I've given you this garbage, and I'll give you a few more of your gift bags, waiting to be used!" Shi Fen threw out a bag of gold coins with a big grin, bulging, not to mention two hundred.
"If you have hands and feet, take it yourself!" Hao Yi didn't pay attention to this guy, and began to count the pile of materials by himself, plus those at noon, it was enough for his nameless little shop to consume for a long time.
"Damn, if you can do business like this, you haven't even fallen down, when has it become so easy to do business in Fire Dragon City!" Shi Fen muttered dissatisfiedly as he started digging out what he needed in the container.
In fact, as a guard in the Lin family, even if it is a reserve, there are medicines and equipment to be distributed, and the quality is much better than Hao Yi's "self-taught" work, Hao Yi understands that Shi Fen is not here to buy things from him, but to deliver things, just like the pile of materials he is cleaning up now. If you want to exchange it for any other store, this pile will not be worth less than a thousand gold coins.
But Shi Fen not only didn't collect money for these things, but also bought medicine at a high price, which is to "send money" to Hao Yi!
This is not the first time, but Hao Yi did not refuse, first, he really needs money now, a lot of money. Second, he and Shi Fen are not just dead friends, their parents are a team, and they haven't been a day, and the two became orphans on the same day. The soul summoner has a high income and a higher investment, and Shi Fen's father died outside because he smashed all his net worth, so that Shi Fen at home almost starved to death, and Shi Fen had been "messing around" with him at that time.
Of course, this is not that he is turning over old accounts, but that friends help each other, there is no need to calculate so clearly, just remember this love!
Due to the reason of crossing, Hao Yi has a mature mind and a calm personality since he was a child, and Shi Fen is even more enthusiastic, just like Kakashi and Akai in the Hokage, the legendary good friends, and lifelong opponents, but Shi Fen is not as rare as Akai, and Hao Yi is not a genius Kakashi.
Shi Fen took out a bunch of basic pills in the container, and left in a comfortable mood after routinely "mocking" Hao Yi.
Warm-hearted Lori Lu Yunge relieved Hao Yi for a while before reluctantly leaving, this time was the busiest time for her restaurant. Lu Mingsheng wants her daughter to inherit the ancestral small restaurant, so he doesn't force Lu Yunge to become a spirit caller, in his words, the world of spirit callers is too cruel, if you can't become a strong party, it is better to inherit the family business honestly, at least you can live a stable life. Therefore, although the Lu family was said to be a wealthy family, he had not purchased any elixir for Lu Yunge that could increase the success rate of the manifest summoning treasure book, and everything went naturally.
Lu Mingsheng has also used this statement to persuade Hao Yi more than once, the two families had decided to have a baby parent, even if Hao Yi's parents died in battle, Lu Mingsheng had no intention of repenting. It's just that Hao Yi has been trapped in his dream of being a strong man and can't get out, in his mind, even if he really can't become a strong man, at least he has to become a spirit caller!
The summoning treasure book is a good thing, which is equivalent to coming with a small space, although the summoning space needs continuous investment to plant, breeding, the initial investment is not something that ordinary people can afford, but as long as it is on the right track, the cost of self-produced materials is far lower than that of external acquisition. Just like Lu Yunge's mother, Sun Jingyi, since she married Lu Mingsheng, she has been developing planting and breeding in her own summoning book, and most of the ingredients used in the Lu family's small restaurant are from her treasure book space.
Hao Yi's current idea is that no matter what, he must obtain the summoning book!
