Chapter 22: The Blind Man's Stone
After Nangong Yuxue left, Feng Chen cleaned up the messy cups and plates and left the Heavenly Star Academy with a swagger.
In the past ten days, the battle card in Tianxing City could not be activated, so what was Feng Chen afraid of? His physical strength was unparalleled, although he was only thirteen years old, even some famous strong men might not be his opponents.
Since the day the card system was born, people in this world have become less and less concerned about the cultivation of the body, and so far, the physical practice system has been completely abandoned.
The hanging lanterns, the crowds of people, and the falling snow are all filled with joy.
The streets are white, and the eaves are white.
There are circuses that tour the streets, people who light old bonfires and party at the crossroads, and people who enjoy beautiful music in concert halls......
Standing at the crossroads, this full of prosperity has nothing to do with him.
Feng Chen's heart was slightly sad, when he was young, he had witnessed too much of the hot and cold world, and the hearts of people behind this prosperity were sometimes so ugly.
The blazing bonfire was burning, the heat wave was rolling, Feng Chen couldn't help but stop, it was relatively warm here.
Burning in the bonfire is a special type of wood.
Since the advent of cards, people in this world have wanted to replace everything with cards.
Unless a bonfire is lit at a grand event, wood is rarely used in normal times, because wood will emit smoke, and second, the storage of wood is much more troublesome than flame cards.
Why bother making and storing a pile of wood when you can do it with a thin card?
"Is this what wood burns?"
The thin smoke dispersed, and Feng Chen didn't feel that it smelled so bad.
After stopping at the intersection for more than an hour, watching others walk around in new clothes, Feng Chen realized that he had forgotten to buy new clothes yesterday.
"Well, Uncle Shen used to buy it for me, but I forgot about it this time. ”
Buying new clothes is almost one of the must-do things for the Lanling Festival, but now that all the shops are closed, you can't buy them if you want to.
"Speaking of which, I haven't been around the Star City yet, so let's take this opportunity to take a walk!"
In the past three years, every time he hid in his room and practiced desperately every time he was on the Lan Ling Festival, he just wanted to retain a trace of card power, and he had suffered a lot of cold eyes in the past three years, and he finally fought a turnaround battle yesterday, but this is just the beginning.
At an age when he should have had fun, he endured three years of ridicule and cold eyes, and now he finally sees a ray of sunshine in this dark world.
Now, Feng Chen is finally in the mood to take a look at this bustling city.
Walking the streets and alleys, buying one or two cheap snacks, holding them hot in the palm of your hand, and eating them while walking, it also has a unique flavor.
The cries of selling on the street come and go, all kinds of snacks are dazzling, the Lanling Festival is the best festival for the sales of snacks, under this severe cold, holding a cup of steaming drink, itself is a kind of enjoyment.
There were white snowflakes hanging on the evergreen trees on the side of the road, and this was the first time Feng Chen felt that there was a hint of beauty in the cold winter.
After turning around for more than an hour, Feng Chen was attracted by a lively alley, which was a kilometer long, and the streets were lined with all kinds of stones.
That's right, it's a stone, and it seems that there are quite a few people who buy it, which makes Feng Chen very confused, there are still people selling stones?
The reason why Feng Chen stopped was that he saw that Nangong Yuxue was also here.
Nangong Yuxue also found Feng Chen, first blushing for a while, and then returning to normal, in fact, the two of them didn't do anything last night, didn't they......
"Come over here!"
Nangong Yuxue beckoned to Feng Chen.
"Teacher, what are these stones? Are you here to buy them?"
"This one, this one is called the Blind Stone, which was excavated from the ancient site, and the stone skin on it was formed over time and could not be seen through. ”
Blind Stone? And this strange thing?
"Isn't it just a stone, what's the use of buying it?"
"Anyway, most of the Blind Stone is useful, because the formation of the Blind Stone must have a core, which may be ancient cards and cards, or it may be some useless trinkets or bottles and cans or the like. ”
Feng Chen probably understood, this was a kind of bet, the price of the stone was priced according to the shape and size, and what could be opened was all up to personal creation.
"What's the fun, there won't be fakes in there, right?"
"Yes, so what you can do is a matter of personal experience and creation. ”
"Then what is the most valuable thing to prescribe in general?" Feng Chen is not interested in this kind of thing, he prefers to move forward in a down-to-earth manner, and he has always disdained this kind of opportunistic thing.
"Unprecedented cards, ancient cards, if you say the most valuable, it should be someone who once opened an ancient card ink, and the ancient card ink that is still active, sold for tens of billions of star dollars!"
"Kamo is so valuable?" Feng Chen almost dropped his jaw in shock.
Isn't this thing just one star dollar? Even if you need more card ink to make a high-end card, it will only be hundreds of star dollars at most.
However, blank cards, as the star level of the card changes, the requirements for blank cards are getting higher and higher, and the price will also rise.
"Kamo is not valuable, but the ancient Kamo recipe is valuable, many card systems have been lost in the years, and the cards and Kamo in the Blind Stone are the way we learn about ancient cards. ”
Feng Chen understood, in fact, most of the things that came out of the blind stone were useless, such as cards and card ink, but with the help of these, people could understand the ancient card system, maybe they could improve their own realm, and even create a new card system to become a master like Yang Mu.
"So what did the teacher come here to buy?"
"Nothing, just look at it, just a hobby. ”
Over the years, the counterfeiting technology of blind stones has become more and more mature, and it has become more and more difficult to buy valuable blind stones.
Following Nangong Yuxue, Feng Chen found that Nangong Yuxue had been looking at some ring-shaped blind stones, if he guessed correctly, this time Nangong Yuxue was looking for something like a necklace.
"Is the teacher here to buy a necklace? Why don't you just go to the store and buy it?"
"Well, I went to the store before, and I didn't like anything I liked, so I came here, boy, are you very good at observing words and feelings, and I can see that I want to buy a necklace. ”
Rubbing a ring-shaped blind stone, Nangong Yuxue vaguely sensed a quaint aura from this stone, but it was erratic.
"Miss Nangong, are you here to buy the Blind Stone? I have a lot of research on the Blind Stone, I don't know what Miss Nangong wants to buy, maybe I can help. ”
A fair-skinned young man in a tuxedo came behind Nangong Yuxue at some point, looking very gentlemanly.
"Ning Jue, you came just in time, help me take a look, I want to pick a necklace!"
It seems that Nangong Yuxue and this person named Ning Jue are still very familiar with each other, but for some reason, seeing the two of them walking so close, Feng Chen's little heart is a little uncomfortable, is this jealousy?
