Chapter 55: First Encounter with the Mage
"You've never been to a science city?" Kang Ming asked Ding Wen.
"Brother Wan never takes me to deliver goods, so... I haven't bothered to go," Ding Wen said with some frustration.
"In fact, science will not be good, and it will feel very depressing if you stay for a long time." Kang Ming said.
"Is it more depressing than being in the mountains and underground all day?" Ding Wen asked seriously.
Kang Ming was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and indeed this kind of life that has been in the mountains, underground, and can't look up at the sky is not easy, and he is silent at the moment.
The two were silent for a while, and suddenly Ding Wen exclaimed.
"Wow! First-class rough stones! Ding Wen immediately stopped the excavator, got out of the car and went to the mine wall in front to check something, and Kang Ming followed and got out of the car.
I saw Ding Wen pick up a piece of copper rough as big as a watermelon with both hands, and looked at Kang Ming with an excited expression. "Look! First-class rough stones! It's been a long time since it's been dug up! You're a lucky star! ”
Kang Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help Ding Wen carry the rough stone and put it on the excavation truck.
"First-class rough stones?" Kang Ming asked Ding Wen.
"There are many grades of rough copper stones, the best is the special grade, followed by the first, second, and third grades, mainly according to the size of the rough stone." Ding Wen explained.
"But isn't it all Ji Copper? Copper is a metal, even if it is mined, it will be smelted, and it doesn't matter how big or small, right? Kang Ming asked suspiciously.
"No, the main attribute of Ji Copper is the magic attribute, the original stones of different levels, the magic content of the internal Ji Copper is also different, because only with a large magic content can a large rough stone be condensed, do you understand!" Ding Wen said.
"What exactly does this magical attribute mean?" Cumming had never been exposed to magic in science, so he naturally knew nothing about magic.
"I heard that the mages of the magic city can use Ji Copper to make weapons and props with spirituality, and they can activate the self-awareness of weapons and props with just a little magic, which is amazing." Ding Wen said in a somewhat adoring tone.
"There are still mages in Ji Tong City?" Now it's Kangming's turn to look forward to it.
"Maybe, these high-level mages have been bought, but I haven't seen them, those mages come and go without a trace." Ding Wen said regretfully.
"I didn't expect Ji Tongcheng to be so interesting, there are actually mages." Kang Ming was overjoyed, and it would be interesting to have a chat with the mage.
"I've heard that mages are weird, so it's better to stay away." Ding Wen seemed to be a little repulsive to the mage.
"Haven't you ever seen a mage?" Kang Ming asked.
"I haven't seen it, but some people have seen it, and they all have mages behaving strangely, and some even say that the mage turned his arm off, how scary it is." It seems that the mage's remarks circulating in Ji Tong City are not very good.
"If it's true, then I'd like to see it even more." Kang Ming is looking forward to the mage even more now.
The two continued to be busy, chatting until Wan Shi returned.
"Ding Wen, why did you dig so much, do you still want to drink at night?" As soon as Wan Shi came back, he asked Ding Wen in a mocking tone.
"Brother Wan! We dug up a first-class rough today! Ding Wen didn't have a chance to say Wan Shi, but quickly showed him the first-grade rough stone.
Wan Shi's expression was very calm, "It's just a level, what's there to be excited about, pack up your things, eat, starve to death." ”
The three of them loaded the remaining rough stones on the ground into the Ji Tong cart and went up to the ground.
"This is the place to have dinner?" Cumming was standing in front of an old bar, and there was all sorts of noise and the sound of wine glasses colliding from inside.
"Questions?" Wan Shi stopped entering, turned around and asked Kang Ming with a frown.
"This place is for drinking, isn't it?" Cumming just wanted to have a quiet meal, and there was no way to eat in peace in this noisy place.
"Do you eat or don't eat?" Wan Shi asked Kang Ming domineeringly.
"Eat!" Cumming certainly didn't want to go hungry.
"Then don't talk nonsense." After Wan Shi finished speaking, he went directly into the bar, and Ding Wen on the side gave Kang Ming a calm expression.
"Bob, what else to eat?" Wan Shi sat down at the bar and asked the bar owner.
"There's a little chicken left." Bob said, opening two bottles of wine for Wan Shi first.
"Take them all out, there are two boys here." Wan Shi said.
"Xiaowen, who is this?" Bob asked Ding Wen quietly, but in fact, Kang Ming heard it clearly.
"Hey, his name is Kangming." Ding Wen replied.
"I haven't seen it before, where did it come from?" Bob opened another bottle of wine for Ding Wen.
"I just came from the Science Metropolis today."
"Stop talking nonsense, take the food." Wan Shi impatiently urged Bob.
"You old stone, what's the hurry, starving ghost, I'll talk to the child and you have to take care of it." Bob scolded and went to the back to get food.
"Kid, do you drink?" Bob brought out three plates of chicken that didn't look good and asked Cumming.
"I won't drink it, do you have any juice?" Kang Ming asked weakly.
"Juice?! Hahahahaha The big man at the table behind him slapped the table and coaxed. Stone, why are your boys getting more and more cowardly! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you'll have a strong mouth, and I'll talk if you can drink it." Wan Shi ate the chicken on the plate and said with a greasy mouth.
"Come on, didn't I already compete three times last time, can I lose to you?" The big man got up and said with a red face. It seems that in Ji Tongcheng, it is taboo to say that others can't drink.
"You? Didn't you laugh at me, a boy, for not being able to drink? You drink him first. Wan Shi didn't lift it, and pointed to Kang Ming, who was still asking for juice to drink, and said.
Kang Ming looked at Wan Shi with an innocent face, and then looked at Dahan, why was he sold like this.
"You don't look down on people, let me compare with a stinky boy who drinks juice, are you finding fault!" Dahan protested with a fist on the table.
"If you can drink him, I'll pay for your drinks for a week." Wan Shi continued to eat chicken and drink wine unusually calmly.
"A month!" Dahan said.
"One year!" Wanshi is more domineering.
"Okay, I'm going to bankrupt you this year!" Dahan has already decided that he has won. "Bob, get the wine!"
Bob happily watched a few people arguing, and leisurely took out a few bottles of sam. Seeing this, Kang Ming could only be forced to go into battle, thinking that this Wanshi was really unreliable.
The big man didn't say much, opened the cap and poured it, and drank the whole bottle of wine in just a few tens of seconds, and the bar burst into applause.
"Boy, drink, look at what!" Seeing that Kang Ming hadn't started drinking yet, Dahan urged.
Kang Ming opened the cap of the bottle with a pale face and drank it all, the speed was only faster than that of Dahan, not slower than him.
"This kid can do it!" The people at the bar applauded and talked.
"Go on!" Dahan didn't expect Kang Ming to be able to drink so much, his fighting spirit was aroused, and he opened another bottle and poured it, but this time the speed was much slower.
Kang Ming didn't want Dahan to be verbose this time, so he finished drinking it one step ahead of him, and when Dahan found that the wine in front of Kang Ming was empty, his face was surprised and he wanted to speak.
"Come again!" The big man roared again.
Kang Ming drank the third bottle effortlessly, not only was it effortless, but he even felt that the wine was not so unpleasant now, and there was a fragrance in his mouth after drinking.
On the other hand, the big man, he couldn't hold it halfway through the third bottle, and the whole person first used the wine bottle, and when he wanted to drink it again, the whole person had already fainted to the ground.
The winner is decided!
Ding Wen looked at Kang Ming with extreme admiration, and Wan Shi raised his head as he chewed the last piece of chicken in his mouth, his face unhurried.
"Brother Wan, you are really not kind." Kang Ming then began to eat his own chicken and complained to Wan Shi.
"Boy, I don't care about your food and your accommodation, do you want to help me drink some wine?" Wan Shi said undoubtedly.
"Then why don't you talk to me in advance." When Wan Shi said this, Kang Ming felt a little unreasonable.
Wan Shi no longer paid attention to Kang Ming, and drank his own wine, Ding Wen was caught in the middle and wanted to enlighten but was afraid of offending Wan Shi's expression was very pitiful.
"What a drinker, young man." At this time, a tall thin man with a face full of beans and gray hair sat next to Kang Ming with a wine bottle.
"It's okay, it's okay." Kang Ming was eating with all his might at the moment, and he didn't really want to pay attention to this person.
"My name is Daniel, what about you, little brother?" Daniel smiled and reached out to shake Cumming's hand.
"My name is Kangming, hello." Cumming wasn't an impolite person either, reaching out to shake Daniel's hand.
"Brother Wan, look at that person's wrist." Ding Wen said to Wan Shi very seriously and nervously.
Wan Shi didn't want to deal with it, but he still took a look, and at this glance, his whole body became nervous.
"Cumming, let's go." Wan Shi put down the wine he hadn't finished drinking, pulled Kang Ming and walked out.
"But I'm not done yet!"
"If you have something to do, you can eat it when you're done." Wan Shi forcibly pulled Kang Ming out of the bar, and Ding Wen followed closely behind. Daniel behind them smiled helplessly.
"Ouch, Brother Wan, let me drink and not let me eat, what the hell is this for?!" Kang Ming was very unhappy with what happened during this time.
"You know the, I was saving you just now!" Wan Shi said angrily.
"Help me? Save me for what? Kang Ming didn't understand what Wan Shi was talking about.
"That person just now is probably a mage!" Wan Shi said angrily and quietly, as if he was afraid that others would hear it.
"Mage?!" Cumming didn't know what to be afraid of, and instead wanted to go back to the bar and talk to Daniel again. "Why are mages scary?"
"Creatures like mages can't be counted as human anymore, they are the most terrifying existence, you must stay away from them!" Wan Shi looked really afraid of the mage.
"What do you mean?" Kang Ming asked.
Wan Shi didn't answer Kang Ming, but took him home before speaking.
"I'll tell you from the beginning." Wan Shi lit a cigarette, took out the wine jug in his arms, drank two and continued, "Do you know where Ji Tong in Ji Tong City came from? ”
Kang Ming shook his head, he naturally couldn't know about this kind of thing.
"Ji Tong's magical energy all comes from the two mages who fought here!" Wan Shi said with palpitations.
