Individuals with special abilities, or hidden organizations that once existed, should logically have a basic "sense of mystery", but this sense of mystery that only exists in the imagination was shattered as soon as Fu Jixian came here.

He even began to wonder if such people with special abilities were unemployed vagrants and social moths, so that they had to rely on the persuasion of others to go out to work?

"Sister Aoi, are you sure it's in this place? Aren't we in some secluded government department or social welfare organization? ”

Just in case, Fu Jixian asked.

"No, I'm pretty sure it's in this place."

Manaka Aoi glanced at Fu Ji Xianli, and then walked towards the building first.

Well, in fact, Fu Jixian doesn't need to be "just in case" at all.

The floors are low, the ceiling heights are limited, the backlights are scarce, and there is a smell of dampness and decaying wood...... Upon entering the building, Fu Jixianli was immediately given so much of this kind of minimalist information, from which it was possible to speculate what his first impression would have been.

It's more credible to say that this is a murderous house, and that they are not here to ask for help, but to step on a little bit to catch ghosts.

"It doesn't seem like there's anyone."

After looking around for a week, Fu Jixian didn't notice any staff or reception staff here.

"Do you expect to see some nice receptionist in a place like this and smile and say 'welcome'?" Zhenzhong Aoi directly punctured Fu Ji Xianli's illusion, "This is the kind of place that has been swept into the garbage heap by the times, and even the building will become a state to be demolished in a few years." ”

"Sister Aoi doesn't seem to like it very much here? Your tone is a little unkind. "Fu Jixian said that it is a little too late for you to put on a senior style now?

Well, Aoi Manaka, who is petite, loves sweets, and can't accept bitter coffee, but is actually an elderly person worthy of respect.

"It's on the second floor." Manaka Aoi did not respond to Fu Ji Xianli's words.

There was no movement as she walked upstairs, but when it was Fu Jixianli's turn to step up the stairs, the old floors began to creak and creaze...... There is no way, some people are "as light as a feather", and people who seem to have a normal weight are "heavier than Mount Tai".

Just when Fu Jixian was worried about whether the stairs would collapse, the two came to the second floor, and then after turning the corner of the stairs, he saw a high counter - it looked a bit like the pawnshop counter layout of the costume TV series he watched in his previous life.

Below is a high walled counter, and above is a heavy solid wood fence that extends to the ceiling, with a small window opening underneath the fence.

Aoi stood on tiptoe and reached out to start knocking on the wall (because she couldn't reach the fence or window above), and to be honest, if she wasn't afraid of being beaten, Fu Jixian almost couldn't resist the urge to pick her up...... Humans have an instinct to take care of young creatures.

"Out of the feather mountain, out of the feather mountain is there?"

It seems that there is a person called "Dewa Mountain" here.

The next moment, the face of a middle-aged man appeared behind the window.

"Who is looking for me?

Oh, that's true.

Turns out you're still alive? ”

The man said this in a cold tone, which made it seem as if he had been hoping for someone else to die soon.

Manaka Aoi turned his head to Fu Ji Xianli and said, "For a long time, I always thought that this person was the most unpleasant person to speak, and it wasn't until I got to know you that I realized that he was actually not guilty of this. ”

Fu Ji Xianli: "......"

This is biased, he is still polite, at least he didn't come up directly and ask if someone is dead, right?

Life is afraid of comparison, because one person can achieve salvation by another...... After all, there is no worst, only worse.

"There's business coming to the door." Aoi Manaka turned back and said to the other party with his face up.

Only then did Izuhanyama look at Fu Ji Xianli, who was standing behind Aoi Manaka, and then said succinctly, "Come in." ”

A side door was then opened.

Then Fu Jixian felt that he had entered a metal workshop, and the small space was filled with various metal processing tables and other instruments, and the air was filled with a strong smell of rust.

Then he saw the appearance of "Dewa Mountain", the other party was short, rosacea, and had a hairstyle that closely followed the popular elements of the times and was particularly eye-catching—the Mediterranean.

"What do you want?"

Fu Jixian didn't hate this straightforward style, he said, "I heard that you can order special weapons here...... I don't know if I can order this special thing. ”

As he spoke, he handed his sketch to the other party, showing the general shape of the weapon and the function he wanted to achieve.

The other party took the sketch, only glanced at it, and said, "It's done, but this thing has to be paid." ”

Fu Jixian nodded, well, as long as you can do it, the money is not the second.

"One more question, I only work for members of the association, are you a member of the association?"

Since Manaka Aoi came here with Fu Ji Xianli, it means that he is the kind of special person who has been exposed to special things, there is no doubt about this, but the question asked by Dewa Mountain is not easy to answer.

Fu Jixian is not, eh...... Employees of the Kitasato 4-chome Labor Association in Minato-ku, Tokyo, so it seems that they are not within the scope of their services.

Zhenzhong Aoi rolled her eyes, and then she said to Fu Ji Xianli, "Lijun, come here." ”

She walked to the corner of the room, pointed to a worn-out notebook on a desk, and said, "Sign your name and contact information here, and you'll be registered." ”

“…… Is that okay? ”

It sounds a little too sloppy, right? Has it fallen to this point now?

"Of course, otherwise do you think you have to go through three rounds of interviews? Come on, there's no one to pay you. ”

Fu Jixian honestly signed his name in the notebook and left a phone number.

When I came to Dewayama again, I heard the other person say, "What about the materials, how about jade steel (Wako or jade steel, the material steel of the katana, a type of steel made using traditional Japanese local methods)?" ”

Sure enough, Fu Jixian was so simply qualified to serve.

"No, if you can, try to use strong, modern alloys as a material." Fu Jixian decisively jumped over this pit.

In general, Fu Jixian is a person who believes in social progress and scientific and technological development, and holds the simple view that "the present must win the past, and the future will win the present".

Traditional techniques and techniques deserve respect, but they are not worth boasting about...... The so-called "famous knives" forged in ancient or medieval periods, even if they are miraculous "sharpening iron like clay", but in the face of mass production of modern knives made of alloy, it is inevitable to be cut in two.

There is no way, technological progress and large-scale industrial production are far more powerful than a sword-forging master, or the two are not comparable at all.

"Yes," Dehayama didn't say much, "1.2 million, half in advance, delivery in two weeks." ”

"Uh......" Fu Jixianli felt that he didn't hear the price clearly.

The preface is withdrawn, and if the money is not money, it seems to be quite so-called.

1.2 million yen, which is considered a high price in the modern knife market, a small 100,000 yuan, this money is enough to buy a good scooter.

A car and a metal stick, even if it's a well-designed metal stick, can't be equated in any way?

"What, Mr. Dewayama, I think we can discuss the price again?"

Fu Jixian is not reluctant to give up money, he just feels that the money is too unspent, and he has a feeling of being played as a fool.

So in the face of his bargaining, Dehayama pointed to the door:

"Pay or leave."

“……”

Have you found a way to communicate effectively with Fu Jixianli?

That is, don't listen to him beep, just say what you mean in the most concise, bottom-line, and non-negotiable way.

Especially when he is "asking for something".

There is no way, after all, it is a "seller's market", since there is no room for negotiation, Fu Jixian can only be a wronged man and accept the other party's conditions.

"Mr. Dehayama, I hope that the things you make can be of guaranteed quality and worth the money."

"Don't worry, as long as your money is real money."

“……”
