Chapter 7 Opening a Store?
Before he knew it, Webb had eaten his share of the meal, and he still felt like he wanted to eat something moreβeven though he was full, the smell that remained in his mouth made him wish he was still hungry, and this feeling should be "gluttony".
At the dinner table, Wei Shiwen was telling the two old men about Weber's troubles: "There are some common sense things in our academy, which everyone takes as the truth, and it turns out that they are also true, but Weber does not agree with those theories, and he has written a paper to refute those theories. β
"Little Webb, you're a little too naughty!" When the grandmother heard that her "grandson" was such a person at school, she complained with kindness.
"It's not over yet, it's even more dramatic." Wei Shiwen said with a smile: "Weber not only wrote the paper, but also put the paper on the tutor's desk in a grand manner, and the tutor only read the first page and tore up the entire paper. But at the same time, the mentor saw Weber's talent from it, and was ready to let him inherit his mantle, and even planned to introduce one of his own sisters to him and inherit his family in the form of a family. β
Grandma was very surprised by Wei Shiwen's words, and said to Weber: "Little Weber, why don't you tell us these things, is it because you have grown up and felt shy." β
"Yes, he's just shy." Wei Shiwen looked at Weber and said, "When we joke with him about this matter between our classmates, he will put on an angry look, and then we will shut up - in fact, everyone knows what is going on, but we just don't understand it thoroughly." β
"Enough! Stop it. Webber slammed his fists on the table, startling everyone for a moment, and then remembered that his behavior was the same as Wei Shiwen's annoyance, so he changed his tone and said, "I'm done, you come upstairs with me." Then he got up and went upstairs, and when he passed by Wei Shiwen's side, he grabbed Wei Shiwen's shoulder as if he had conquered the king, and wanted to pull him up.
In terms of body type, Wei Shiwen is much stronger than Weber; Moreover, Wei Shiwen's body is much denser than the average person's body, and the weight of a person of the same size is only two-thirds of his, so Weber's movements did not have the effect he expected.
Wei Shiwen laughed secretly, and his left hand seemed to subconsciously slap Weber's hand off his shoulder, but in fact, it was a dark force into Webber's body. Under the dark energy, Webb felt as if his body had been controlled by hypnotic magic, broke free from his own control, and involuntarily returned to his place and sat down.
As if she hadn't seen all this, the old grandmother asked Wei Shiwen with a smile: "Are you here to play in Dongmu City?" β
Wei Shiwen squinted at Webb and the binge-eating King of Conquest, shook his head and said with a smile: "Sort of! I have long heard that Dongmu City has outstanding people, and the only thing that can be compared to it in the world is Gotham City, which has simple folk customs, and Gotham is far away in the United States. However, after arriving in Fuyuki City, I thought about it carefully, and felt that my studies were going on like that, so it was better to plan early and find a suitable place to choose a career that I liked. β
The old man tasted the last bite of chicken slowly and methodically, and said, "So have you figured out what you are doing?" β
"What does the second elder think of my craftsmanship?" Wei Shiwen asked very confidently looking at the empty plate in front of his grandparents.
The old man nodded and said, "I have never eaten such a delicious thing, I really wish I was a little younger, so that I would digest a little faster, so that my stomach can empty and taste more of the food you make." β
"I'm going to open a Chinese restaurant in Dongmu City, and with my skills, I want to conquer the taste buds of everyone in Dongmu City soon," Wei Shiwen said. β
After another simple greeting, the King of Conquest put down the dishes and chopsticks with satisfaction, and after admiring Wei Shiwen's exquisite craftsmanship, Webber pulled Wei Shiwen and the King of Conquest back upstairs, and sat on the bed again and said menacingly: "Hey, as a servant, can you discuss with me as the master before making any decisions, what is the store!" We're here to participate in the Holy Grail War, but we didn't really want you to make a home in Fuyuki City. β
Wei Shiwen still stood against the wall with his hands folded, and said casually: "Master, I opened a store for a reason, Jin Daxia once said that the best place to find out the news is a tavern in addition to a restaurant, and I chose to open a restaurant in Dongmu City to prepare for intelligence gathering for the Holy Grail War - think about it, if a certain servant likes to eat delicious food, just enters my shop, is conquered by my craft, and then develops into our ally, so that there will be one less enemy and one more friend to participate in the Holy Grail War, The probability of victory is even higher. β
"yes!" Because of his large size, he couldn't show it in this room, so the King of Conquest had to sit cross-legged on the floor, and when he heard Wei Shiwen say this, he said out: "As long as someone tastes the food you make, he will definitely be conquered by the deliciousness - if I can't continue to eat Wei Shiwen's food in the future, I guess I'll go crazy." β
"No one is going to turn a friend or foe over a dish!" To Wei Shiwen's unrealistic idea, Weber retorted loudly: "You two don't want to sing and harmonize, the Holy Grail War is about to start, can't you do something serious!" β
Wei Shiwen spread his hands helplessly and said, "What I just said is the right thing!" Master, there is an old Oriental saying called 'small hidden in the wild, big hidden in the market', which means that if you want to hide yourself, the best way is to hide in the bustling bazaar...... You know what I mean! β
"I see." After Wei Shiwen's almost spoiler prompt, Weber understood the truth - magic comes from mystery, and the more people know the lower the mystery, the more dispersed and weakened the power will be, and the lower the magic effect, (it was originally magic, using the power that has been determined in the root, so the more people who know it, the weaker its power will be.) οΌ
Therefore, the magician abides by secrecy to prevent the decline of magic, which is the magician's rule, and the magician who does not follow the rules, the Magic Association sends assassins to kill him. If they put themselves in a place where they are in the right and bright, even if those masters want to do something to them, they must take care of the killers of the Magic Association; Even if you can keep it secret by "killing the witnesses", it will take a lot of effort. (During the Fifth Holy Grail War, Lancer Cuchulainn pursued and killed Emiya Shirou.) οΌ
"That's one way to do it." Webb touched his chin and asked, "But what about the money to open the store?" My travel expenses are all borrowed from others, and I have no extra money for you to squander. β
"Oh? Is it? When there is no money, it becomes a tricky problem. Wei Shiwen looked at Weber and said nonchalantly, but his eyes were full of contempt.
"Hey! Don't you look down on me with these eyes! Definitely. Because Wei Shiwen's emotional expression was so obvious, Webb didn't have to think much to see it, and then yelled like a monkey.
"Yes." Wei Shiwen confirmed Weber's statement, and then immediately changed his words and said, "Whatever you just heard and saw, it was an illusion, let me forget about it!" Money has never been an issue with me. β
"Haββ?" Weber was deeply suspicious of the unashamed Wei Shiwen, and said: "You don't even know that you are a person of that era, even if you were an emperor of an empire at that time, the money at that time was useless in modern times." β
"It is true that money is not in circulation in different periods and regions, and even a country's banknotes will be renewed every few years." Wei Shiwen smiled incomprehensibly, and said in his chest: "But there is one thing that will never lose its value, no matter how ruthless it is, it is a precious metal after all." With that, Wei Shiwen threw the things he took out of the space to Webber.
When Webb heard Wei Shiwen's reminder, he subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but was carried back by the weight of the thing, and lay down on the bed, and then he struggled to get up, put the yellow and clear metal piece weighing thirteen kilograms in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully, and said, "This is gold?" β
Emperor Penguin nodded and said, "Yes, Gold." It was taken out of the vault of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York when I was traveling in the United States - the past is worth recalling! Such a large piece, sold for money, with the current economic situation of the foot basin, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to buy a store. β
According to the setting of Nao Mushroom, "Fate/Zero" takes place in 1995. In this year, in order to stimulate the economic development of the country, the US imperialists implemented the dollar depreciation plan, and harvested the wealth equivalent to the gross domestic product of the footbasin for ten years through economic warfare, which directly caused a large inflation in the footbasin country, and the price of goods rose.
"New York Fed vaults?" Weber looked at the gold brick in his hand and said, "Isn't that something that only appeared in modern times?" What era are you? β
Wei Shiwen looked like he didn't care about himself, and said: "The Valhalla Throne is a concept that is outside the timeline, and the Heroic Spirits who are in the Throne of the Valhalla are not affected by time. And there is no rule that says that the Heroic Spirit cannot go back to the time when he was born, or even the time when he was not born......"
"It turns out that he is from the future, no wonder he often looks like he wants to talk and stops, he should not be able to affect the world." Although Wei Shiwen didn't mention half of himself in his words, Weber had already believed that Wei Shiwen had something to say, and he had already made up what Wei Shiwen wanted him to misunderstand.
