After Yi Xingchen walked out of the blue light gate, he was not in a hurry to open the purple light gate and return to Blue Mercury, but stayed in the space. He looked at the blue light door of the castle that had disappeared, and silently thought about something.

That is, what kind of path should he lead the people in the Valley of Oblivion.

Do you want to return to the kingdom to its former glory and free its citizens from the burden of exile, or do you want to keep it as it is and provide them with enough resources to have a better life and survive in the Valley of Oblivion?

For a while, Yi Xingchen was not easy to decide. But in any case, let's solve the problem at hand first. With a sigh, Yi Xingchen turned around and walked away, opened the purple light door and returned to his rented room.

When he saw the calendar on the wall, Yi Xingchen realized that he had been so busy recently that he didn't notice that his vacation was almost over.

In half a month, Yi Xingchen should leave Brewing City and go to the coastal city of Zhonghai City, because he will report to Zhonghai University of Technology when the time comes.

When he arrived in Zhonghai City, he was a student and was about to start his new life

Thinking of this layer, Yi Xingchen decided to buy a batch of cold weapons before leaving Brewing Incense City.

This is because, compared with Zhonghai City, Yi Xingchen knows more about Brewing Fragrance City. When he arrived in Zhonghai City, he was unfamiliar with the place, and it would be more troublesome to do anything he wanted. In that case, let's do this in advance.

Buying cold weapons in Brewing Incense City is not a difficult thing. Yi Xingchen doesn't want to pursue any alloy materials, as long as it doesn't break with a single cut, it is sharper than a kitchen knife, and it is almost the same as being able to cut meat and bones.

Yi Xingchen remembered that in the suburbs of Brewing Xiang City, there were many such hardware factories that could produce stainless steel machetes, and the price was not expensive. Yi Xingchen probably understood that the retail price of an ordinary machete was only 80 yuan a piece. Moreover, the quantity that Yi Xingchen bought is not small, and after bargaining with the boss, he should be able to get a wholesale price, which will be cheaper.

As for the quantity, according to the number of people in the kingdom, Yi Xingchen was ready to buy six hundred machetes. He felt that there must be enough weapons to spare, firstly, to serve as a reserve of weapons to replenish the wear and tear, and secondly, to replace the kingdom if the number of people could be increased.

Yi Xingchen still has 80,000 yuan in his hand, which is enough to buy some stainless steel machetes.

Time is tight, Yi Xingchen doesn't want to waste time, so he hurried up and took a direct bus between urban and rural areas to find a hardware factory on the outskirts of the city. As soon as he got on the bus, Yi Xingchen directly asked the driver if there was any hardware factory that produced knives on the route of the bus.

The driver and conductor were very enthusiastic to tell Yi Xingchen that there were several such factories on the road. When they knew that Yi Xingchen wanted to wholesale kitchen knives, they introduced him to a larger hardware factory.

About fifteen minutes later, Yi Xingchen stepped out of the car under the driver's reminder.

Where Yi Xingchen got off the bus, there was an intersection, and there was a plaque at the intersection, which was a wooden board signboard, which was written with paint, Shunfeng Hardware Products Factory. According to the driver and conductor, this Shunfeng hardware factory, is a major producer of knives in nearby townships.

Yi Xingchen walked in from the intersection, walked more than 100 meters along the cement road, and saw a wall, and after walking another 200 meters, he saw a row of bungalows behind the wall, and the gate of the Shunfeng hardware factory.

Yi Xingchen stood outside the door of the factory and looked in, and found that in the guard room at the corner of the door, there was an old man wearing a camouflage military uniform, who was on duty.

Yi Xingchen stepped forward, greeted the uncle, and asked about ordering knives.

After listening to Yi Xingchen's words, the old man knew that he wanted to order a batch of knives, and he was polite and enthusiastic, so he personally led Yi Xingchen to the factory director's office.

Later, Yi Xingchen learned that this old man was actually the father of the factory director. This Shunfeng hardware factory is actually a family-style hardware factory, with a small number of people, about 20 workers employed, all of whom are residents of the township or nearby villages.

After Yi Xingchen met the factory director, the two exchanged a few words of greeting and made a brief introduction.

The factory director's name is Zhao Jialiang, and while he took the initiative to hand Yi Xingchen a cigarette, he asked, "Boss Yi, what knives do you want and how much do you need?"

Yi Xingchen blocked it with his hand, politely declined the cigarette handed over by Zhao Jialiang, and said with a smile: "I don't smoke." I mainly want to order a batch of machetes. ”

When Zhao Jialiang heard the word machete, he seemed to be a little sensitive, his face changed, and he asked uneasily: "Boss Yi, with all due respect, you shouldn't be from the club, right?"

"Just kidding, this is in China. Even if I'm really a gangster, if I want to buy so many machetes at once, isn't it obvious that I'm making trouble for myself? Yi Xingchen joked.

Zhao Jialiang thought about it and felt that this was the truth, so he agreed: "That's what I said, with so many machetes, you don't need to do it, the police will come to the door." However, you want a lot of money, I have to say in advance, you have to sign a contract with me first, and I need to add a clause to the contract to ensure that these knives cannot be used for illegal activities, and if something happens, I will not be held responsible. ”

"No problem. "Zhao Jialiang is a salute before a soldier, this Yi Xingchen also understood, so he happily responded.

Seeing this, Zhao Jialiang was even more relieved, with a smile on his face, and began to confirm the details of the order with Yi Xingchen: "How long do you want a machete? What style of knife do you need? For any style, we can make molds." ”

"Do you have any ready-made molds here? I'm in a hurry, and you have to deliver them in five days. Yi Xingchen said.

"Among the existing molds in our factory, the closest thing to your requirements is about a machete for forest fire prevention and a woodcutter for civilian use. Zhao Jialiang thought for a moment and replied with some hesitation.

"Are there any samples?" Yi Xingchen asked.

"Yes!" Zhao Jialiang directly took Yi Xingchen to a warehouse and selected a few machetes from them, with two different styles.

Yi Xingchen took out a machete from each of these two styles, and then carefully compared the two machetes. The tips of both machetes are not straight and sharp, but rather have curved hooks, and their purpose is to focus on cutting firewood.

But Yi Xingchen looked at it and still didn't feel very satisfied, because he wanted to buy a machete, not to chop wood, but to need a machete that could fight with wild beasts. So, Yi Xingchen didn't want to go around in circles anymore, and directly told Zhao Jialiang what he meant.
