Chapter 6: A Thousand Books
Two thousand six hundred and fifty-five taels, I don't know all the savings of the fire room.
What is the concept of 2655 taels?
You can buy a few new clothes, or eat dozens of ramen, of course, the clothes can't be high-end, and the ramen can't be a luxury set meal or anything like that.
It feels like the 2,655 taels in the Fire Country is probably equivalent to more than 1,000 yuan in Huaxia in the previous life. (Note)
As an orphan, I don't know that Huo Genma can eat for free in the school cafeteria, and he can also receive two sets of new clothes every year, so he has no worries about food and clothing, and there is basically no problem in life, so the pocket money distributed is very small, only five hundred taels per month, and it is spent when he buys some snacks.
In the past, Shiranui Genma was just a child, and he had no concept of saving, so he saved this amount of money in total, and he can basically be regarded as the poorest person in Konoha in the whole of Konoha.
His deceased parents had an inheritance left to him, but Konoha Village strictly stipulated that orphans would not have the right to access the inheritance until they graduated from the ninja school, so this was less than three thousand taels, which was all his belongings.
It should be enough.
I don't know Huo Genma nodded secretly, and then went out with the money.
Although this is a ninja world, technology is not non-existent, as early as twenty years ago, people invented practical electric lights, so even at night, Konoha Village is still brightly lit and crowded. (Note)
Of course, because the power of ninjutsu is very strong, the strong ships and cannons at this stage cannot be fought against at all, so technology is not very valued in this world, and its development is very uneven, and it is even regarded as a crooked way by many ninjas.
Ninjas study science and are easily despised and ridiculed by their peers.
Like in the original book, the reason why Orochimaru is rejected by people is not only because of his perverted personality, but also because of his obsession with science.
After walking around the village, I didn't know that Huo Genma came to the largest ninja shop in the village, which was full of halls.
"Excuse me, are there a thousand copies here?" He asked, looking up.
He came here with all his belongings to buy a thousand books to practice.
Although shuriken is the most commonly used and must-learn secret weapon, in his opinion, mastering only the most basic shuriken does not make much sense in actual combat.
If you want to play a role in yin people or even anti-killing, you have to rely on needle-type hidden weapons, which are relatively hidden and professional hidden weapons.
Among the many needle-type hidden weapons, Qianben is a relatively easy one to master, and it is easy to hold and use, which is perfect for him at this stage.
When the young female clerk saw Shiranui Genma, she smiled slightly, bent over and said, "Yes, little brother." What kind of thousand copies are you going to buy? β
"What kind of ones?" Shiranui Genma scratched his head.
The female clerk pointed to the wall beside her and said, "Well, there are a total of 1,000 copies of three materials in the store, each of which has two types: large and small. β
I don't know that Huo Genma followed her finger and saw six thousand books hanging on the wall, three large and three small, and they all seemed to be similar at first glance.
"What are the three materials, and is there any difference?"
The female clerk explained, "The most common Senben is made of iron, and the price is low, so it is suitable for daily practice or large use. A better stainless steel thousand books, higher strength, and not easy to rust and damage, in the forbearance, the upper forbearance is more commonly used this. β
"There is also a Senbon made of a special alloy that has the characteristics of affinity chakra and can combine the ninja chakra to exert great power. Of course, with the exception of ninjas who are proficient in Chibon, the average person will not buy this. β
"How much does it cost?" Shiranui Genma looked closer and asked.
"Five hundred and twenty pieces of iron and two hundred and fifty pieces of steel. As for the affinity chakra's thousands, the small ones are four thousand taels, and the large ones are four thousand eight hundred taels. β
So expensive!
I don't know that Huo Xuanma couldn't help but speak.
I have more than two thousand taels, and the cheapest iron thousand books can buy dozens of them.
He thought for a moment and said, "Buy five iron thousands." β
The female clerk said, "All 1,000 iron books are sold by the order of ten, little brother." β
ββ¦β¦β
Ten iron thousand books are five hundred taels, and it costs five hundred taels at once, and I don't know that Huo Xuanjian is really a little reluctant. I just bought it to practice, and five is more than enough.
He struggled for a while, and then looked at a few samples hanging on the wall: "Then I can buy five iron thousands, plus one stainless steel thousand?" β
"Well." The female clerk pouted, as if thinking.
"Please, big sister, anyway, the total price is five hundred taels, you can sell it to me." I don't know that Huo Genma had to rely on his biological age to shamefully sell moe.
The female clerk suddenly laughed, leaned over and pinched Shiranui Genma's face, and said, "Okay then." β
By selling the hue, I don't know that Huo Genma finally bought five iron and one steel thousand at a price of five hundred taels, and six of them were larger models.
With a thousand copies of stainless steel in his hand, he quickly regretted it a little.
This thing doesn't seem to be much different from the iron one, it's just for practice, not actual combat, why spend this money.
But if you buy it, you can buy it.
Anyway, I don't need it now, and I will always use it in the future.
When he got home, he went directly into the utility room, and after piling up two broken wooden boxes on one side of the room, he held four thousand books with the fingers of his right hand, aimed at the wooden box, and then threw it out violently.
"Puff-"
There were several soft noises in succession, and in the dim light, wood chips could be faintly seen collapsing.
"Not bad."
I don't know that Huo Genma nodded, and then stepped forward to retrieve the four thousand books.
After practicing in the utility room for a while, seeing that it was not until nine o'clock in the evening, he packed up and returned to his room.
Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, I can't help but feel a little distracted.
After a while, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he rolled over and got up from the bed, took a thousand books, and hurried into the bathroom.
looked at the immature and delicate face in the mirror, and looked down at the thousand books in his hand.
Could this thing be ......
I didn't know that Huo Genma hesitated for a few seconds, and then he took Chiban in his mouth.
It turned out to be this!
Looking at the image of a "toothpick" in the mirror, I don't know that Huo Genma suddenly smiled, it turned out that what he was holding in the original book was not a toothpick, but a thousand copies!
A thousand books are the body!

Note 1:
"The Book of Soldiers" sets "one tael = about ten yen", so according to the current exchange rate, one tael is roughly equivalent to six cents, for convenience, this book takes five cents, that is, [2 taelsβ1RMB].
Note 2:
The Hokage's technology tree is very weird, sometimes communication relies on roaring, sometimes he even has a computer (Uncle Snake has mastered the core technology, Orochimaru has a laptop very early, I'm afraid of it), I guess it should be Kishimoto didn't handle it well in this regard, and there are a lot of bugs. This book tacitly assumes that the overall technological level of the Hokage world at this time is roughly equivalent to that of our country in the seventies and eighties of the last century, but it has developed relatively deformed, and except for a few people (such as Orochimaru), the entire ninja world generally despises science and technology, and regards technology as "strange and obscene".
psοΌ
Although the ontology of a thousand books has appeared, the protagonist does not have the habit of holding a thousand books at this time. As for why I don't know why Huo Genma later practiced such oral work, I will explain it in the later plot.
