Chapter 555: Buying a Bow at the Night Market
Zhang Qiru didn't bring anyone else, he went to the market alone with a backpack and in casual clothes. TEL pineapple v small TEL said that the market size here is indeed not small, there are almost hundreds of stalls, and there are many people who come to visit the market. This is not surprising, because the market has a lot of things, from all kinds of luxury goods, transportation, to all kinds of daily necessities, including people who buy and sell weapons.
Zhang Qiru was dressed ordinarily, carrying only a backpack, and looked no different from the others. Zhang Qiru came to a stall that bought and sold weapons, and the weapons bought and sold in this stall were all cold weapons, but they looked very exquisite. Zhang Qiru casually picked up a dagger, and then touched the tip of the knife, it was very sharp and strong, not like the kind of shoddy thing.
"How do you sell this dagger?" Zhang Qiru asked.
"Good eyes, brothers! This dagger is specially made by us, the sharpness will definitely satisfy you, and the material is also the best alloy, not worse than the daggers in the army! The stall owner said.
"Is it as good as you say?" Zhang Qiru said.
Zhang Qiru looked at the muscles on the stall owner's arm, and could see that this person had some ability, at least the muscles were real, not the kind of protein that was piled up.
"Hehe, don't worry, in this first area, when it comes to cold weapons, I call it second, and no one dares to call it first! Our ancestors made weapons for some powerful people, and we have family secrets, and the weapons we build are much better than others'! The stall owner said.
"Oh? You forged this dagger yourself? Zhang Qiru was slightly interested and asked.
"That's right! The dagger was forged by me with a hammer, purely handmade, with absolute conscience! The stall owner said proudly.
"Interesting!" Zhang Qiru smiled and said.
"How? Do you like it? If you like it, you can give a price, and I'll sell it! The stall owner said.
"It's okay, don't mind if I try it?" Zhang Qiru said.
"Try it casually, if it's broken, it's mine!" The stall owner seemed to be very confident in his work, and handed Zhang Qiru a steel plate.
"Since you said so, then you're welcome!" Zhang Qiru said with a smile.
Zhang Qiru took the steel plate, and then first scratched the steel plate twice with a dagger, leaving two obvious traces, and then used the dagger to cut the steel plate, and he was able to cut a small opening, and the dagger did not roll the blade, it was really a good product!
"How? Didn't lie to you, did you? The stall owner smirked.
"Well, it's level!" Zhang Qiru nodded and said.
"Can you give me a price?" The stall owner said.
"I don't want this!" Zhang Qiru said.
"Hey! I said, brother, aren't you playing with me? You don't want it when you're done trying? How? Dislike that I'm not level? The stall owner said.
"No, I just don't think the dagger is good enough!" Zhang Qiru said.
"Not good enough? Brother, you can not buy it, I have no opinion, but if you discriminate against my technology, then I can't agree! You say, what's good? I'll call you right away! "The stall owner definitely has a strong obsession with forging.
"Hehe, you think too much, I appreciate your skills, but I want to see your best work, not this dagger!" Zhang Qiru said with a smile.
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then stared at Zhang Qiru for a while, restrained his emotions, and then said slowly:
"Brother, since you said so, then I'll show my real skills! However, I won't sell this thing, I have to use it myself! ”
"A gentleman does not win the love of others! I know that! However, if you're interested in the price I'm offering, maybe you'll cut your love! Zhang Qiru said with a smile.
"Haha! Brother, I like you very much! The stall owner laughed, then turned around and took out a crossbow from the cart, "Brother, this is what I have worked so hard to forge, how about you take a look?" ”
Zhang Qiru took the crossbow handed over by the stall owner. The crossbow was heavy, about five kilograms, made of metal, and it looked very powerful, and the bowstring seemed to be made of some kind of alloy. Zhang Qiru gently pulled the bowstring, the force was very strong, and it was estimated that it could be more powerful than an ordinary pistol.
"Are there any arrows?" Zhang Qiru asked.
"Give!" The stall owner took out another bow and arrow and handed it to Zhang Qiru.
Zhang Qiru took the arrow and looked at it, the body of the arrow was metal, and it looked like it was made by hand; The point is on the arrows, which are flat, relatively large, and extremely sharp, and the long arrows should be very penetrating.
"What do you do with this arrow?" Zhang Qiru asked.
"Handmade, ancestral metal, I don't know what it is, the last bit left, let me make bows and arrows, a total of twenty!" The stall owner said.
"Can I try it?" Zhang Qiru asked.
"Of course!" The stall owner seems to have more confidence in the bow.
Zhang Qiru began to draw his bow and arrows, and then shot at a steel plate eight millimeters thick at close range. Zhang Qiru couldn't have imagined that a cross crossbow could have such power, and the bow and arrow actually directly penetrated the steel plate and nailed to the ground! Zhang Qiru has always believed that the forging technology of the ancients can really reach the point of sharpening iron like clay, and this guy really has the ability to forge arrows to such a point!
"Good!" Zhang Qiru said excitedly.
But when Zhang Qiru turned his head to look at the stall owner, he found that the stall owner was looking at him with extremely shocked eyes, and he was a little embarrassed to see it.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Zhang Qiru said.
"Brother...... Brother, good ...... What arm strength! The stall owner stammered.
Zhang Qiru reacted at this time, and when he pulled the bow just now, it took a lot of effort to pull out the half bow, and it is estimated that he will have to do his best if he pulls the whole bow.
"Brother, I can barely pull half a bow with my hands and feet, and you can pull half a bow with only your arm strength, it's really amazing!" The stall owner exclaimed.
"It's over! Have you ever tried to pull the full bow away? Zhang Qiru asked.
"I haven't tried it because I can't pull it open! But brother, you can try it, and let me open my eyes! The stall owner said.
"Then try it, your bow and arrows can hold it, right?" Zhang Qiru asked.
"Hold on! Take the head as a guarantee! The stall owner said.
Zhang Qiru drew his bow and arrows again, and this time Zhang Qiru was really trying his best, so he pulled the crossbow string to the fullest. Zhang Qiru shot at the three eight-millimeter steel plates, and the arrow inquiringly pierced into the two steel plates, and the third steel plate also pierced into half of it!
"Talent!" Zhang Qiru sighed!
"How much does your bow cost, I want it!" Just when Zhang Qiru sighed at the power of this bow, a discordant voice said.
"Not for sale!" The stall owner refused directly.
