Chapter 106: A Little Story (Meridian)
They all followed a spider's web of traffic to the hub, a towering tower in the center of the ancient city, reaching into the sky.
Among them was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, who was not wearing a robe or a sword, and walked around the crowd, seemingly shocked by the goods of the shops on Anqi No. 1 Street.
All kinds of weapons and equipment are displayed in a conspicuous place, which is suitable for almost all professions, and of course, the price of each piece is also particularly conspicuous, to be precise, it is eye-catching.
Nine gold coins for the seriously wounded artillery, ninety-nine gold coins for the Lone Eagle Short Sword, one ninety-nine gold coins for the Dragon-Slaying Spear, and ninety-nine for the Bloodthirsty Green Dragon Knife...... Even the most common bow and arrow cost five gold coins.
"Let's pick one!" The owner of a shop on Anqi No. 1 Street shouted, and when the boss saw the young man, his eyes wandered over him a few times, and he said impatiently: "What kind of occupation are you, what do you buy?" ”
In fact, these business people are quite shrewd, most of them can see the customer's occupation at a glance, and for the person in front of him is plainly dressed and cowardly, eighty percent of them are all chosen by the profession, so the boss can only ask.
"Hello boss, I want to buy a spear."
"Yo or a gun warrior, you can have it in the store you want, see for yourself."
"I'll be honest with you, I don't have a lot of money." As he spoke, the young man shook the money bag, spread out his palms and looked at the boss helplessly, and the boss was even more helpless, saying in his heart that he was really a vulgar person with no sect and no big family, can he not mix krypton gold in this world? a calf!
Of course, the boss still said with a smiling face: "You can't buy anything with this only silver coin, you can go to another house to take a look!" ”
"Old man!!" At this moment, there was a sudden scream in the store, and then an old woman walked out, "I spent so much money to buy a bamboo rat, and then I won't kill it and keep it for the New Year?" Several iron cages have been cut off. ”
"Don't worry, wait for Xiao Jue to be successfully shortlisted and get the notice from the Divine Domain Academy."
"Hehe, yes, or the old man, you're thoughtful, what is this kid doing?" Only then did the old woman notice the person standing at the door, and continued: "Look at his age, he also went to sign up, what is your name?" ”
"My name is Ruler." At this time, he looked back at the fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and couldn't help frowning.
"He's a gun warrior, but he doesn't have any weapons, and he has very little money with him." After the boss finished speaking, the old woman suddenly plucked his ears and said, "There are so many old warehouses, what will happen if you find him one?" Besides, our Xiao Jue joined the gunsmith, and the professions did not compete with each other. ”
"What are you talking about, how can I have such selfishness, it's not easy for students nowadays no matter what their background is, come on, kid go to the warehouse with me, you give me the money, you can pick whatever you want, it's interesting enough, right?"
"Pick what? Don't lie to me! ”
"There will be no fakes!"
Under the guidance of the boss, he saw a young girl sitting in the cabinet, who was assembling the accessories of the weapon, and the girl was good-looking, especially the smart eyes, and when she had no intention of looking at her, this made her heart tremble.
"Xiao Jue, it's almost time, hurry up and sign up at the Divine Domain Academy!" The boss shouted, and led him into a studio, where there stood a strange man, dressed in a sheepskin work dress, who seemed to be repairing a broken weapon.
"Zhongyu is looking for a spear." As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at him, and then turned back.
The man named Zhongyu was very young, but his face was very cold, he took the key given by the boss, and walked to an iron door with a ruler, the technique was also rude, the key was inserted into the hole, twisted several times and did not open, but kicked violently, and the door fell a lot of dust and opened.
It is very cold, it is said to be a warehouse, but for now, it is a large garbage dump, stacked with most rusty weapons, and even some have been broken into several pieces, a few copper plates can weigh a lot, let alone silver coins.
"People's hearts are so dirty!"
"Take your pick." Zhong Yu said as he leaned against the door with his hands in his hands.
"Buddy, the Divine Domain Academy is also recruiting forgers, you can sign up." As he spoke, he searched for a weapon that he could use, but there was really no complete weapon in the mess of scrap metal, and the spear and spear were nowhere to be found.
"What do you have to do with it?" The man's response was not good.
He choked on him, so he had to fall silent and concentrate on hunting the surroundings.
"There it is!
At this time, Qi Qi's eyes locked, he took it in his hand and checked it, the weight was appropriate, although it was rusty, it was a complete spear, and more importantly, he liked the shape of the spear.
The grip to the spearhead is carved with pieces of rune patterns, and if you wipe and polish them with vegetable oil, they will inevitably be not much inferior to the weapons displayed in the store after refurbishment.
After picking out his weapon, he retreated from the warehouse without stopping, and then he needed to go to the academy and sign up for the annual student selection.
"Picked?" The boss said, and the expression on his face became very strange when he saw the spear in his hand.
He nodded, "It feels very good, I like it, thank you." ”
"Hehe, it's good to like it, to be honest, everything in the warehouse was originally going to be melted, and basically it can't be used." The boss turned his face around, and said: "That's it, today I will be a good person to the end, and I will give you a brand new spear, don't take this one, so as not to lose face in front of many teachers and students." ”
"No, thank you boss for your kindness." As he spoke, he took a torn rag stained with clear oil from the store and left the store.
At this time, the shopkeeper who watched the figure walk away was stunned, as if his heart was dripping blood.
"Dad, I'm going."
"Wait, remember the kid who bought the weapon just now?"
"Of course, what's wrong?"
"Tell Shang Zhongyu to go with you, and let him find the spear!"
"As for it" Xiao Jue put on a puzzled expression, "Isn't that the garbage in the garbage, why did you find it back, besides, you obviously asked the family to go to the warehouse to pick it up, now ......"
"What do you know, that spear has a lot of origins, Zhongyu, this kid doesn't want to mix up, the last time he bought the goods, he didn't take care of it, if it weren't for my sharp eyes, an artifact would be slippery in vain."
There are a large number of damaged weapons in the suburbs or ancient battlefields, which are unmissable business opportunities for merchants, so some people will take the risk of wild beasts running rampant, go to those places to collect weapons, and sell them to merchants, this kind of people are called gold diggers, like this kind of people who play with their brains, the profession is called bright, in fact, it is scavenging, scavenging can naturally pick up good objects, but only in a few, most of them just change hands at the market price of scrap copper and rotten iron.
"Hey, isn't it already slippery! Don't...... Dad can't be like this, not kind! ”
"Xiao Jue, what do you think of your father as, I asked Zhong Yu to follow him to pick up equipment, if you think like this, the kid who bought things, Wenwen, is weak, and he will definitely not be able to survive in the ring, won't the opportunity come at this time?"
"I see, huh......"
"How can you despise your father, do you want to be angry with me!" The boss was not angry, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up!" ”
"Oh,"
