Chapter 70: Identification Challenges

The shopping guide is obviously an experienced person, like what is the down payment, and the payment method of the balance is settled within a few days.

But the guests who can pay in this way in the Sword Casting Pavilion are all customers with a very high credit index, and new customers like Xiao Ke who come for the first time don't know the root and don't know the bottom, and they look like the master who has no money, and there is nothing to lose that Xiao Ke may pay in this way.

After a brief period of indifference, the shopping guide made a decision.

With a professional smile on his face again, he said, "Guest, our store does not take credit, if you only have 60,000 taels of gold assets, please buy other swords."

Shaped like this high-grade fine iron sword, blowing hair and breaking hair, extremely sharp, only sold for 59,999 taels of gold.

Since you are a new customer of our store, you can also enjoy a 99% discount when you buy now, which is a great deal!"

"No, I want the sword!"

Xiao Ke didn't even look at the iron sword that the shopping guide was holding in his hand, and when he had already decided that he wanted to obtain the sword of the master's remnant, he could no longer look down on this ordinary iron sword.

"Guest, this is the Sword Casting Pavilion, if you want to make trouble, I suggest you weigh your ability before making a decision. ”

With the end of Miss Shopping Guide's official speech, two burly men who looked like Lian Jiazi immediately surrounded her and blocked Miss Shopping Guide behind her.

The two of them clenched their fists and clenched their fists, their eyes were indifferent, staring at Xiao Ke like a robot, as if as long as Xiao Ke didn't make the right decision, they would flatten Xiao Ke and throw him out again, so as to forge the prestige of the Sword Pavilion.

Xiao Ke's gaze took away from the master's remnants, swept over the two big men in disregard, and instead stared at the small print behind the counter on the right and said, "I won't give up, I have decided to buy this sword in your store's special way!"

"What, you want to challenge the identification task of this shop? In the past ten years, thousands of people have challenged, and only one person has succeeded, and he is still a junior swordsmith, I advise you to give up. ”

"Third child, why are you talking so much to this soil bun, don't forget that the pavilion master has an explanation, the customer is heaven and earth, we can only respond, don't meddle in things. ”

"That's it, the third child, the eldest sister is right, let this 'distinguished guest' challenge once, anyway, I haven't seen a new face on this ship for a few months, it's rare to have a dare to challenge, we can't cut off our own financial path." ”

The payment method chosen by Xiao Ke was a challenge written on the wall of the Sword Forge Pavilion: to pay a fee of 1,000 taels of gold, and to pick the first three most valuable swords out of fifty swords in an hour.

Once you have completed the identification task, you will not need to pay to pick any sword on the level.

If the store dares to post this task, it must be extremely difficult.

The price paid for the challenge is a small amount of money compared to the price of the sword, and the person who opened the shop is not a philanthropist, so if the task is simple, then it is not to sell the sword at the price of cabbage.

Don't say that it is on the endless sea where the price is higher than the sky, even if it is on land, it will be a loss to open a store like this.

As a result, the task was extremely difficult, and it took only 10 years for one person to succeed.

However, even though I know that this task is difficult, there are still many people who participate, and there is no other reason for everyone to gamble.

Especially when I was poor, I wanted to fight and turn my bicycle into a motorcycle.

If you lose, you lose, and a thousand taels can't do anything on this ship.

The shopping guides have also seen a lot of this, and they have long been surprised.

It's just that the third shopping guide, that is, the shopping guide who serves Xiao Ke, she saw that Xiao Ke was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she inevitably felt sympathy in her heart, and she was afraid that Xiao Ke also chose to challenge out of gambling.

It's amazing to bet on this thing, it's easy to have a second time with a first time, and with a second time, you're almost going to plant it in your lifetime.

She couldn't bear to let a young man get involved in gambling because of a sword and embark on the road of no return.

Therefore, the difficulty of the task was pointed out, and he wanted to dissuade Xiao Ke.

But her sisters didn't think so, and in their opinion, those who didn't earn money were fools, so they discouraged the third child from meddling.

"This ...... If you want to be a Pavilion Master or not, the identification challenge must be handled by him. "Third, the shopping guide is still hesitant.

The second shopping guide immediately came over and said: "Ouch, what's wrong with our third child today, seeing that the guest has compassion when he is young, I can tell you, don't mess around, we have belonged to the Sword Casting Pavilion for the rest of our lives since we can remember, and we must consider the interests of the Sword Casting Pavilion." The pavilion master ordered last month that he would not need to be in charge of the identification challenge tasks on the first floor in the future, and we can just look at it. ”

"Yes, the customer will pay the money, and after paying the money, you can start the challenge. ”

The first shopping guide also immediately mended the knife, standing in front of Xiao Ke and asking for money.

"This is fifty thousand taels, looking for money!"

Xiao Ke glanced at the shopping guide with disdain, took out a golden ticket and handed it over.

"Guest, do you want to challenge our appraisal task on the second floor, there is a low-level magic weapon among them, only 30,000 taels!"

"No, looking for money!"

Xiao Ke was dismissive of the first shopping guide's tricks of being flattering and deliberately lowering his chest.

Looking at a woman, if he had to forcibly choose between the skin and the soul, he would definitely choose the skin without hesitation.

But it's not a vulgar skin full of fat powder mixed with snobbery.

"Yes, please come with me!"

The first shopping guide was deflated, and he was very angry, and after recovering the 49,000 taels of golden tickets for Xiao Ke, he took him to the back hall.

It's not big, but it's bright and minimal.

There is only one piece of jade with a white shimmer in the back hall of more than forty square meters, and on top of the jade lie fifty iron swords of all kinds that are braving the cold light.

"Guest, please, if you feel that you don't have enough time, you can renew, five thousand taels every half an hour, come on!"

The first shopping guide still wants to do business without giving up, and when he clenched his fist and blinked and said "come on", he pressed his chest even lower.

This time, Xiao Ke did not ignore it, but opened his eyes wide and tasted it before he said in an old-fashioned manner: "Sister, don't show off, it's all sagging." ”

"You...... Distinguished guests, there is really a kind, but it really suits my taste, why don't we go to the edge of the Jade Lake tonight to learn from each other, whether it succeeds or not?"

The first shopping guide was furious, and then realized that this was in the Sword Casting Pavilion, Xiao Ke spent money, that is, the guest, at least in words, she had to pay attention to it, she had to change her tone to make an appointment.

Xiao Ke is not a fool, of course he knows that this competition is a competition in force, and it is by no means as colorful and picturesy as a man and a woman who are not suitable for children to roll on the beach.

It's just that how to learn specifically, one-to-one or one-to-many, whether I personally go on it or not can only be known at night.

Xiao Ke planned for a while, this appointment can be made, if you win, you can fight, and by the way, you can grab a sum, and if you can't win, you can go home and go home to sleep.

So he nodded earnestly.

"Then I'll wait for you, the south bank of Yuhu Lake, see you or leave!"

Subsequently, the first shopping guide left with satisfaction and gritted his teeth.

As she left the back hall, a stone door closed as she came.

In addition, an hourglass for timing also fell from the roof of the house and hung in front of Shook, marking the official beginning of the challenge.

"Hmph, play with words in the title, these iron swords must be hidden in them, I must not judge by induction alone, it is best to check carefully, and never miss the key clues. ”

Shook distinctly remembers that the Identification Challenge was all about finding the three most valuable swords, and the focus was on value, not quality.

Quality is not necessarily linked to value.

It is quite possible that a rusty iron sword that is already a scrap is hiding a few amazing gems or rare materials, and it is easy to ignore them if you only rely on the foreknowledge in the six senses.

"Since it is the selection value, I should first select these dozen iron swords made of pure iron. ”

Xiao Ke picked up the iron sword, tapped it gently, and quickly selected a dozen pure iron swords with the same timbre based on the timbre, put them aside and looked up at the hourglass, only one-fifth of the time had passed, and there was still plenty of time.

The remaining thirty or so swords were not made of pure iron, and they were all mixed with some unknown materials, and some work had to be done to distinguish them.

However, this also did not make it difficult for Xiao Ke, he read some books in the book club supervised by Elder Bai of Qingcheng Sect, among which there happened to be an ancient book called "Rare and Rare Treasures", which recorded the information of a variety of treasures, and now, it just happened to be useful.

"This one is doped with red copper, and the value is below Mithril, lose it!"

"This handle is doped with iron star stone, but the luster is not enough, either the quantity is not enough, or the quality is not up to standard, or it is lost!"

"This handle contains purple gold, which is worth a lot, you can still keep a hand!"

"This handle also contains purple gold, more amount, stay!"

......

Through the visual judgment method, Xiao Ke successfully eliminated the remaining thirty or so swords, leaving only four.

Two broadswords doped with purple gold but varying in content, a large sword hidden in the blood groove with a light spirit formation engraved on it, and a rapier that lit up Xiao Ke's six senses with red light but mixed with Mithril.

"Which one should I give up, a small amount of purple gold or a doped Mithril?"

More than half of the time had passed, and Schoke's hands were still hovering over the two swords, hesitating.

If you only consider the value of doped materials, it must be purple gold first, but the Mithril Sword feels too weird to itself, and it is obviously a good sword with full combat power.

"Grandpa Mao said that practice brings true knowledge! Why don't I give it a try. ”

Xiao Ke was hesitating, and a bold idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and he immediately picked up the two swords and gently collided with each other.

Afraid of ruining the sword, Xiao Ke's strength was very weak, but as soon as the two swords touched, the Mithril Rapier easily left a small mark on a small amount of purple gold and purple gold broadsword, just like a bite.
