Chapter 22: The Price of Silence
This is a very ordinary small hardware store, and the owner is a man in his thirties, with a scar on his face and a somewhat hideous appearance.
"Cao Yunfeng asked you to come?"
"Yes, boss."
Yang Ye really didn't understand that the appearance of the knife shop would be such a place.
The brand-new shelves and all kinds of clean hardware show that the shopkeeper usually cleans them. But this is obviously a side hustle, and how much money can you make? It's incomprehensible. Perhaps, people have such a hobby.
"Well, follow me."
The boss pondered for a while, looked at Yang Ye, and then beckoned into the back room.
Yang Ye followed in, although this boss looked ordinary, how could a person who could open such a forbidden shop as a knife be mediocre. But he believed that Cao Yunfeng would not harm him, so he followed him with peace of mind.
The back room was a storage room, but as the boss pressed a few buttons on one wall, one wall slowly moved away, revealing a room of more than 100 square meters.
The room was full of all kinds of knives and weapons, among which there were spears, broadswords and other things, looking at the weapons with a cold aura, Yang Ye's heartbeat slowed down.
"That's a lot of weapons."
"Of course."
Speaking of this, a smug smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
"In today's society, there are very few people who bring weapons to the streets. But a lot of times, a lot of things aren't absolute. My weapon sells well, and it's an ancestral technique. β
Yang Ye understood the meaning of the middle-aged man's mouth, although the knife is now controlled, there are still many people who can buy knives. The most important thing is that there are still a lot of martial artists he said, otherwise his business would not be so good. And these weapons were all built by him or his subordinates, and they were sold for so high. The skill of blacksmith Yang Ye originally thought that it would be lost sooner or later, but now it seems that it is not the case at all.
Walking into the room and looking at all kinds of weapons, Yang Ye was surprised and speechless when he saw the prices below.
The cheapest is a dagger, 10,000 yuan, and the most ordinary knives and swords, all start at 100,000. He didn't understand, it was just some weapons, how could the price be exaggerated to such a cost.
"I don't bargain for this, the price is as much as it is marked below." The boss noticed the change in his expression, this kind of thing is obviously very familiar, "Don't look at these weapons as ordinary, but they are all beaten by striking iron, which is not worse than those alloy steels on the market." On top of that, some weapons have special ores added to them, making them tougher and even more impenetrable to guns. β
In a word, there are expensive reasons to be expensive.
Looking at the weapons with a price of nine figures, the reddish sword spine exuded a cold aura. Yang Ye couldn't help but reach out and grab the hilt of the sword, and felt cold when he held it in his hand, which was very comfortable.
With a wave of his hand, the weapon waved in the air, and there was a faint sound of breaking the sky, which was very explosive and sharp.
This is a good weapon, although I don't know what the legendary peerless divine weapon is, but this sword is definitely not simple.
"This red-blooded sword is added with an ore powder brought back from the moon, which makes the sword body more tenacious, and kills without blood. Unfortunately, this ore is so precious that I can only get a little powder with my connections. Speaking of this, the boss was still full of pride, "You must know that ordinary people can't even get powder, but this sword has just been built, even if you have money, it has already been ordered." β
"Moon?"
Yang Ye was dumbfounded, isn't it only a few years since he landed on the moon, how can he get ore from the moon?
"I know what you think, but you thought the moon landing was just to see? That's a search for precious ores and energy, otherwise what would be the point of landing on the moon other than the ability to fly into space? When the boss said this, looking at Yang Ye's inquisitive look, he was also happy to use such a secret science popularization that was not a secret, "In the past year or two, the moon landings have become more frequent, although high-power excavators cannot be used, but some small machinery can still be transported." It's just that the crater is too hard, the effect is not too good, and there is not much ore to get. β
"I see."
No wonder a sword is actually hundreds of millions, not only a matter of craftsmanship, but also a problem of raw materials.
But being able to go to the moon and dig ore is really powerful. It is no wonder that all kinds of resources on the earth have been rapidly developed, and there are too many planets outside, as long as the aerospace technology can keep up, it is not a problem. Even if there is an energy shortage, it is not too much of a problem, and other alternatives can still be found.
Yang Ye suddenly laughed at himself, he was always worried about this and that, but in fact, it was completely unnecessary.
How can a country see far from him?
Maybe people not only saw further, but also did it beyond their imagination.
Putting down the red blood sword, this sword is not something he can afford to play, and if he bumps into it, he won't be killed. Of course, if this could destroy the Red Blood Sword, it wouldn't be worth the price.
"I don't have many assets, so let's give me the most ordinary Tang knife."
Even if it is the most ordinary Tang knife, it costs 100,000 yuan, and if it is to be replaced by Yang Ye before, you can only look at it.
"Okay."
Hearing Yang Ye's words, the boss suddenly lost much interest.
Obviously, Yang Ye is just a poor ghost, and he can't squeeze out too much value.
Stroking the Tang knife in his hand, the sharp blade, I don't know what metal it is made of, it is very strong, and the toughness of the Tang knife is very good. If it's a slashing person, it's definitely far better than a watermelon knife.
Yang Ye doesn't know how to swordsmanship, let alone swordsmanship, but swordsmanship can slash, and even if he doesn't understand the method, he can hack people to death. He bought these purely for self-preservation, knowing that the murder the day before yesterday had always been in his heart.
The shop pΓΉ was also advanced, and after spending 100,000 yuan on the card, he put away his weapons and left the small hardware store.
Walking through a small dark alley, his mind moved, and the Tang knife in his hand immediately disappeared without a trace and was sent into the storage space.
This knife is the source of his confidence, and being murdered has always been a thorn in his heart, and if he doesn't pull it out, he will be wiped out sooner or later.
It's a pity that the person behind him can't be found, and it's just a guess who made the shot. Yang Ye could only wait, waiting for the other party's next move, hoping to find the answer he wanted.
Until then, protecting yourself is the number one priority.
Today's encounter was very profound, and Yang Ye could not forget it.
A dazzling array of weapons, as well as the landing on the moon for mining in the boss's mouth, and many martial artists, are all a novel world.
Sure enough, when people live, they only see their own well, and the sky outside the well is strange, and they will never think of it if they have not touched it.
With the upgrade system, Yang Ye also poked his head out of the well and got in touch with this novel world. Maybe one day, he will set off stormy waves in this wonderful world.
