Chapter 44: The Festival
"The furnace of greed, huh...... It's a strange thing. ”
In the Immortal Ware Pavilion on Death Street, the disheveled pavilion master touched his bearded and scumbag chin, revealing a thoughtful look: "This doesn't seem to be useful, I'll be scolded again when I sell it." ”
"I don't want you money, I want you to help me see where this thing came from." Cheng Hai didn't have a good airway.
If he sold this thing casually, he wouldn't have found it for nothing.
"I don't know, it's not a creature, but it has its own logic. It's like ...... The program is the same, it should not be a thing made by demons. The Pavilion Master frowned.
"What do you mean...... A product of the abyss? ”
With the current level of human manufacturing, it is quite powerful to be able to build a few housekeeping robots, and things like the furnace of greed should be considered relatively advanced creations.
Roughly, it is a type of Natal Flying Sword with no dust.
There is a certain spirituality, but no consciousness is formed.
"Alright, then let you go here. If Lady Purple asks for it, you give it to her. Cheng Hai waved his hand.
Anyway, I've been studying this thing for days, and I can't figure out why. Staying in your own hands is to worry about whether there is any radiation and whether it will affect other things, which is harmful and not beneficial.
"Hmph, when did you hook up with Lord Zi?"
The Pavilion Master slowly took out a box from under and put the Furnace of Greed into it.
You must know that when you first met Cheng Hai, he was just a muscular man who knew how to do kung fu with his legs and feet, and now he ...... He's already a little incomprehensible.
The breath is calm, and the whole body exudes a mysterious artistic conception.
I can't say how profound, it's just ...... Can a person undergo such a transformation in two months?
"Of course, it was to see my outstanding development potential." Cheng Hai smiled.
Since figuring out the way of cultivating immortals in the orphanage, his strength can finally see a substantial improvement. Although there is still some time before the foundation is built, at least there is a path in front of us.
"Do you have fireworks or anything like that?"
Cheng Hai turned around and swept around the Immortal Pavilion.
It's the end of December now, and the day after tomorrow is New Year's Day, and he promised Cheng Yiyi to set off fireworks together, but he can't forget it.
"Fireworks, yes."
The pavilion master took out a box from underneath, with a metallic texture, about half a meter high. There are 9981 emitting holes on it, and a spar is inlaid on the side, and two words are affixed to it: "The brightest star in the night sky".
"Uh...... Such a big one? Cheng Hai was shocked.
Although I have seen the power of the Hellfire, the treasure of the town store, but a firework is also so high-end, it is inevitably too outrageous.
"Some people like to invent these things, anyway, they are safe and pollution-free, activate the magic crystal self-starting, and have a built-in sonic filter, so that you can hear it yourself and not disturb the people. The pattern and style of fireworks can be selected according to the prompts, and a low-level magic crystal can fire 15,000 rounds, only 50,000 pieces, isn't it affordable? The pavilion master talked eloquently.
"Is this still called affordable? 50,000 yuan of fireworks, who will buy them? Cheng Hai's face was incredulous, with an expression of you treating me as a fool.
"It's that no one buys it, just wait for a fool." The pavilion master shrugged.
"You ......"
Cheng Hai's face was red and blue for a while, and finally said, "Show me." ”
Anyway, he is a VIP on the Afterlife Street, and the price given by the pavilion owner must be the lowest price.
So he doesn't lose money on this deal!
……
In the quiet study room, all the students are nervously revising.
"Alas, one more wrong question, 85 points ......"
Scratching his hair in annoyance, Ji Youzhu was very dissatisfied with his self-test results.
"Aha, 61 points, no more, no less."
Beside her, Lin Yumu snapped her fingers excitedly.
At this time, the bell rings for the end of class. Although there were still no classes on the timetable in this classroom, many people walked out of the classroom and relaxed their eyes a little.
Of course, an energetic outlier like Ji doesn't have to waste this time.
"Tut-tut."
Lin Yumu didn't remember the first time he shook his head, then leaned closer and asked, "More than eighty points is enough, right?" You don't have to fight so hard. ”
"I don't have anything to do anyway, just read a book." Ji Youzhu said disapprerovitically.
"Tomorrow is your birthday, you have to take a day off, right?"
"Holiday? Hmmm......"
Ji Youzhu was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and asked, "Where do you want to play?" ”
"Huh? Did you figure it out? Lin Yumu's eyes widened.
"The world of a day of relaxation can still be taken out." Ji Youzhu smiled.
I don't know if it's a problem of motivation, she's been very efficient recently, and if she follows her steps, it's no problem to pull the score of several courses to the target level in the last half a month.
Lin Yumu wants to play, so let's relax for a day.
"Then let's go to Jasmine's Den first, I've been buying perfume lately."
"Hmm...... Okay, but I can't be too expensive. ”
"It's okay, I'll send you."
Lin Yumu slapped his little hand on his chest.
Just when the two were summarizing, Ji Youzhu's mobile phone suddenly vibrate. When she saw the name on the call reminder, her smile suddenly froze.
After thinking for a moment, she walked out of the classroom and pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Mom?"
"Youzhu, what are you doing?"
"I'm reading."
The voice on the other end of the phone was soft and gentle, but Ji Youzhu couldn't feel any warmth.
"Tomorrow is your birthday, what do you want?" Feng Jinglei asked softly.
"No need, they're all so old, what birthday is it?" Ji Youzhu refused.
It's not true, but most of her birthdays after school are still celebrated, but they are usually simply celebrated.
Have a meal, sing a song or something, and that's it.
As for gifts, she only accepts acquaintances, otherwise it will be too much.
But when it comes to going home, it was ten years ago.
"Why don't you come back this year, and I'll give you a dinner."
"No, it's just a birthday, I don't like to go through so much trouble." Ji Youzhu refused again.
Because it's strange, since she fell out with the Xiao family, she has been in a free-range state and has never celebrated her birthday at home.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and suddenly there will be a big feast, and it is estimated that it is inseparable from that incident.
"What's the fuss? Didn't the Xiao family and the Lin family live like this? Your brother is the same. On the contrary, you are so low-key, and no one else will know that we have you in our family at that time, how bad is this? ”
"Well, no."
"Alas...... This was arranged by your grandfather. ”
Seeing that Ji Youzhu couldn't listen to it, Feng Jinglei had no choice but to bring out the old man: "He is one hundred and eighteen years old this year, and your relationship is so stiff, is this appropriate?" ”
"You mean, it's all my fault?" Ji Youzhu frowned.
If their family is poor, and the younger brother is not successful, it will be forgotten. But now that the entire Ji family is in Hagihai, where is the need to sell her as a commodity?
"Alas...... Well, you've grown up and can't say anything about you. I'm going to go and tell your grandfather to cancel the matter. Feng Jinglei said gloomily.
"Wait."
Ji Youzhu suddenly stopped her.
After all, her mother is one of the elders in the family who has a relatively good attitude towards her, otherwise she would not have been sent as a lobbyist. Coupled with her grandfather's patriarchal concept, this persuasion was fruitless, and she must have been scolded.
It's not a way to escape this matter, it's better to solve it as soon as possible.
"How?"
Feng Jinglei's tone showed joy.
Looks like there's a play?
"Xiao Yan came to you for this matter, right?"
"Uh...... No, didn't I just say it, that's what your grandfather meant. Feng Jinglei prevaricated.
"Don't lie to me, he must have told you something, otherwise you won't think of me."
Ji Youzhu's eyes flashed with sparks, and he snorted coldly: "Since he wants me to go so much, then I'll go." And then I'm going to knock out his teeth at the dinner party! ”
That's what she wanted for her birthday.
