Chapter 170: The First Signs
"Guest, are you selling this box?" The shopkeeper's voice was a little hoarse, and this sense of vicissitudes was wonderfully matched with the old shopkeeper, and his voice seemed to be opening an ancient picture. β¦ Top Novel, x.
Luo Yu patted the box gently: "You give an estimate, if the price is right, the box will be sold to you." β
The shopkeeper raised his wrinkled eyelids and glanced at Luo Yu, stretched out his wrinkled thin hands, and picked up the box. Unfortunately, this magical process was only a blink of an eye, and the shopkeeper had already put the box back on the counter, as if the jumping box was just a phantom.
"Fifteen gold."
The shopkeeper gave a dry purchase price, which is honestly not bad, and the recycling price of a similar auxiliary prop system store pΓΉ should be less than ten gold.
Wu Wei looked at the shopkeeper curiously, and quickly swept Luo Yu's face, then tilted his head slightly, and exchanged a look with Jiang Zhiqian, Jiang Zhiqian shook his head gently, indicating that he had no special discovery.
Luo Yu stretched out a hand and pressed it on the top of the box, slowly moving the box in his direction, the box rubbed against the wooden counter and made a slight sizzling sound, which was particularly loud in the small shop.
"Wait, twenty gold, no more."
Luo Yu grinned and continued to move the box towards himself. The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and they were no longer as dim as they had just now. The sharp light was like a knife out of its sheath, but he was staring at the box in Luo Yu's hand.
Luo Yu's hand stopped. Said slowly: "Boss, in fact, I don't know about lacquerware, but I still have some vision, and the reason why the utensils can be refined is actually the same." The lacquerware in your shop is probably made by yourself, so each item is different, and it looks faintly aura. β
The shopkeeper's eyes slowly looked at Luo Yu's face, and Wu Wei couldn't help but show a look of surprise, could it be that Luo Yu had already entered the plot mode? Come to think of it. Wu Wei's heart suddenly beat faster.
Luo Yu looked at the shopkeeper playfully and continued unhurriedly: "I guess, the shopkeeper is a senior carpenter, right?" I heard a friend say that when a craftsman has advanced his skills, that kind of obsession is simply like a demon, and it can't be stopped at all, I don't know if it's right? β
A gleam flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, and under the gaze of Luo Yu and the others, he actually nodded. This surprised Wu Wei and the others, isn't this an ordinary low-level NPC? How did Luo Yu see it? Wu Wei's gaze moved away from the shopkeeper and slowly turned to the shelf behind him, Luo Yu could see through the shopkeeper's details. I'm afraid it's on top of the items on the shelves, right? Why didn't you see it yourself?
In Wu Wei's eyes, there is nothing special about these clumsy lacquerware, and he carefully recalls the shops he saw yesterday. The things in this shop are unremarkable, and even a little rustic. However, Luo Yu just topped this one. And, it seems, he chose the right one, the shopkeeper here is really not ordinary.
"Little brother, your eyes are good, could it be that you want to apprentice? If I use this box as an apprenticeship, I can reluctantly accept you, rest assured, I promise to accept you, and I will definitely give you a gift. β
Wu Wei gasped with a 'hiss', he realized what he had seen, there was such a secret in the shops in the city!
What does a senior carpenter represent? It means that you can quickly improve the level of life skills, if Luo Yu finds this wood shop owner is not the only one, then the value is very high, which is definitely a secret that many life professional players want to know even if they break their heads, and the same is true for big guilds, this news is definitely sold for more than 10,000 gold.
It's a pity that if you know this kind of secret in the early days of the game, the value is even more incalculable, and now that there are more and more high-level life professional players among the players, the value of this kind of NPC with advanced skills is not so high.
Wu Wei looked at Luo Yu in surprise, could it be that Luo Yu's purpose was this?
"Shopkeeper, you misunderstood, I didn't want to apprentice, and besides, don't you think this is too expensive as an apprenticeship?"
Wu Wei was shocked, and subconsciously looked at Jiang Zhiqian, and found that Jiang Zhiqian's face was also shocked, could it be that Luo Yu's purpose was more than that? This box can worship a master with advanced skills has already satisfied Wu Wei and others, unexpectedly,. Luo Yu is not satisfied, so the value of this box
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and he asked expressionlessly, "Then what do you want?" β
Luo Yu smiled: "You have always avoided talking about the true value of this box, shopkeeper, why don't you just sue me?" Actually, this box is not something that I have to keep. β
The shopkeeper groaned for a moment and said, "I just said the value of this thing, twenty gold, no more!" But "
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and Luo Yu said, "But for you, its value is immeasurable, right?" β
The shopkeeper still didn't have any expression, and Rian's eyes were back to a dim state, and he said in a low voice, "Just flower into your own eye." β
"Very well, did this flower get into your eyes? If the shopkeeper says no, I'll turn around and leave, believing that there are people who know the goods in other places. β
The shopkeeper was silent, and the small shopkeeper fell silent, only a few breaths of varying severity were heard, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the rickety shopkeeper.
After a while, the shopkeeper finally sighed and said, "Okay, what do you want?" β
Luo Yu showed a triumphant smile: "I want to know the secret of this box." β
The shopkeeper glanced at Luo Yu, ignoring the surprised appearance of Wu Wei and the others, and still kept the same tone and said, "Secret? Haven't you already guessed that the skill of making this box is the biggest secret, and for a craftsman who is keen to improve the skills of carpenters and lacquerware, this is the most precious secret, what more secret do you want to know? β
"No, no, I don't need to know this secret, even if you can step into the ranks of masters by comprehending this secret, I won't envy it, what I need is another secret, I think, you must know."
The shopkeeper thought for a while, reached out and picked up the box again, gently rubbed the box and said, "Have you heard of the Mo family?" β
"Of course, the Mo family of the public loss class, I have heard of it, and the ** non-attack, the juzi swordsman or something, there are also this secret sect activities in the rivers and lakes, and it is said that it has something to do with the Demon Sect."
Wu Wei suddenly interjected to answer this question for Luo Yu, Luo Yu nodded at Wu Wei with a smile and said, "Thank you, I really don't know this, does the Mo family also accept apprentices?" β
Wu Wei smiled: "Aren't you going to accept apprentices?" It's not that the inheritance of apprentices is going to be broken, but I heard that the Mo family is very strict in accepting apprentices, and the Mo family has split and become two families, South and North Mo, and they are still hostile to each other."
The shopkeeper coughed, and Wu Wei quickly closed his mouth.
The shopkeeper's hoarse voice continued to sound: "What you said about the Mo family is two different things from me, those are not the Mo family, but the unscrupulous people of the Mo family, the Mo family is for the purpose of refining technology, and this box is said to be from the hands of the Mo family's public loss class, this box is called the Hidden Star Box, there are a total of two hundred and eighty-three boxes, and the stars in the sky are overviewed." β
"Wait, there's no constellation on this box?"
The shopkeeper snorted lightly: "Just because you can't see it doesn't mean you don't." β
Wu Wei smiled and stopped making a sound, Luo Yu blinked his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, in his memory, there were about a dozen box images he had seen, all of them were not the same, but there was definitely no obvious constellation map, but since the shopkeeper said that there was, there must be, as long as he went back and recalled carefully, he could find the pattern by re-analyzing the box.
The shopkeeper continued: "This box is the constellation of Tianli in the Ziwei Palace, the Lord is in prison, and the law is broken. β
Luo Yu nodded, and asked respectfully: "So in addition to the value of this box in carpenter's craftsmanship, does it imply anything, or what legends are there?" β
The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, the box itself represents the inheritance of the skills of the ancestor of the public loss class, and there will be something to gain from the experience day and night, which is a treasure that every carpenter wants to get." However, it is worthless for the players, because they are unlikely to experience anything from it. β
Wu Wei pursed his lips when he heard this, there are also senior carpenters among the players, and the shopkeeper is too self-righteous to say this.
Luo Yu smiled indifferently and said, "What about outside the box?"
"Legend has it that these two hundred and eighty-three boxes are not empty, but contain some props made by the ancestor of the public loss class himself, of course, these props are not simple."
Luo Yu frowned: "No, this box contains a treasure map, and although the things found according to the treasure map are not bad, they are definitely not the level of props of the public loss shift system." β
The shopkeeper shook his head: "Then I don't know, what I sued you is just an ancient legend, and whether you believe it or not is your own business." β
Luo Yu thought for a while and said, "That's it?" Is there anything else to say about this legend? β
"Also, the things in the box are called star pattern props, which are said to have the effect of communicating the power of constellations, and I don't know about the rest."
"Then in your opinion, where did this star stripe go?"
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and shook his head blankly: "Okay, everything I know will be told to you, this box"
Luo Yu smiled: "The box can be given to you, but it can't be given to you in vain." β
"Twenty gold?"
"Hehe, I need you to give me a promise to accept apprentices, and the money will be forgotten."
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously and said, "No problem, I'll write something for you, and I can accept those who come with this promise as disciples, do you think this is feasible?" β
"Yes." (To be continued......) R640
