Chapter 6: The Eve of Departure
I don't know when I fell asleep, but when I woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning, I got up and washed up quickly, and when I came to the living room, my sister was weaving a mat, and when I saw my brother waking up, I said to him: "The food left for you is in the refrigerator." ”
"Got it!"
After eating, I went downstairs, and when I saw that my father was repairing something, the cat got up and quietly slipped out the door.
"Where do you want to go?"
Before I reached the door, I heard my father's voice coming.
Shang Chengfang's body stiffened, and he straightened his waist helplessly and turned his head, but saw that his father was continuing to work without even raising his head, but there seemed to be eyes behind him, and the cat's waist could be found.
"I'm going to play with Big Brother Gomez!"
The bearded man rarely reacted, his movements in his hands froze, and he raised his head, his expression was complicated, and his eyes showed a look of reminiscence.
Forty years ago, when he was a bounty hunter, he saw a high bounty of 300,000 in the hunter office! So he took the task and came to the town of Lado.
Since they were not the natives of the town, they naturally did not have their traditional beliefs of being shackled, and after the great war of that year, the whereabouts of the people who should have been heroes were unknown, and not only did no one care, but their families were also alienated in the name of traitors.
If it weren't for the old mayor to take care of them when he was there, they would even have a problem surviving, and they had to grow their own vegetables to eat, and every shop in the town and even the hospital had already blacklisted their family and did not trade with them!
Sometimes when you don't have enough food, you have to venture out into the sinful countryside outside the town to dig up wild vegetables, and even fight monsters to get food!
If you're unlucky, you'll have to waste your strength and you'll have to go hungry, because the electronic creatures are full of parts, so to speak, robots, and biochemical monsters may be mutated because of a certain chemical composition, and if you eat it, you may be poisoned and even life-threatening!
Because of this reason, many people have died in their family, and now only Davino and Gomez father and son are left to rely on each other, and the father's health is getting worse and worse, so it can be said that the entire family is almost supported by Gomez!
Gomez was also very strong at a young age, and when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he began to go out of town to hunt, but because the people in the town were alienated from him, he had few friends, and his personality became more and more extreme and withdrawn.
Master Shang is very sympathetic to their family's plight, and they can't help their family openly, otherwise their family will end up in the same fate, but secretly they don't object to their son going to Gomez to play, after all, he is too bitter......
After a while, he sighed, "Go ahead!" Don't play too late! ”
Shang Chengfang glanced at his father a little strangely, he rarely didn't scold himself, but since he agreed to go out and be happy, he didn't think much about it, turned around and ran out happily.
When I came to Gomez's house, I shouted for a long time and no one answered, thinking that Davino and Gomez should go out of town to hunt monsters again, and go to the bar to see if Grandpa Cao Xin is here today.
"Huh? Isn't this Shang Cheng Fang? Come on, grandpa will tell you about how I defeated the giant ants single-handedly when I was young! ”
As soon as I entered the bar, I saw an old man sitting at a table in the middle smiling and waving to me.
"Grandpa Cao Xin!"
Shang Cheng ran over with a fart, "However, didn't you tell this story last time?" ”
"Oh...... I've already talked about it, so today I'm, uh, cough cough...... I need a glass of water to moisten my throat! ”
"Okay, I'll buy you a drink!"
Another trott all the way to the bar, "Boss, a glass of wrestler!" ”
The boss was a little puzzled: "Didn't you run out of money yesterday, and you have it again so soon?" ”
Shang Chengfang, who was digging into his pockets, remembered that he had no money, and immediately sighed dejectedly and was about to go back.
The sharp-eyed boss saw the bottle inside when Shang Chengfang rummaged through his pockets, "Hey...... Wait, what's that in your pocket? In that bottle! ”
"This?"
Shang Chengfang took out the two bottles he had taken from Dr. Mingqi from his pocket.
"Yes, that's it, we collect this raw material in the bar, and this slippery cell is purchased according to 8G, are you willing to sell it to us?" The boss said, pointing to the bottle with some slippery stuff in it.
"Sell! Of course it was sold! ”
Shang Chengfang pointed to another vial and asked, "What about this?" ”
The boss raised his eyebrows, where did this kid get this good thing? He didn't believe that Shang Chengfang had the ability to obtain this, but as a businessman, there was no reason to push the door-to-door business outward, and making money was the way to make money!
After a little hesitation, he replied: "This is a viscous cell, which can be sold for 37G!" But where did you come from, if you have it in the future, you can send it all, we will accept it all! ”
OMG! Get rich!
Shang Chengfang didn't hear the latter words, he was already shocked by the price quoted by the boss.
How much is that? Shang Chengfang happily counted with his fingers, as if he was afraid of counting wrong, 45G, so much money! You can buy a lot of wine!
"Boss, don't wrestle wine, ask for 100 days of red wine, no, the best one...... What's that, oh yes, cupola, two glasses! ”
When Shang Chengfang came over with wine, the old man was overjoyed, so he hurriedly took a sip, smacked his lips, and said happily: "En~!" It's really good wine, Cheng Fang, come, grandpa will tell you about that ...... today."
Maybe because of the high-end wine that Shang Chengfang bought today, Cao Xin told him two more stories, which were much more exciting than before, so that he didn't know when the old man left, and he was immersed in the story.
Although what Gomez told was true, after all, it was not as good as what the old man said, and it was more exciting, so Shang Chengfang also preferred to listen to the old man's stories, and he was convinced that the old man must have been a great bounty hunter when he was young!
"I decided! I'm going to hunt monsters! ”
Standing up, he took a deep breath, his eyes became resolute, and he walked out of the bar and walked towards the human equipment store, Shang Chengfang, who was deeply inspired, was originally the age of blood and strength, and today he got a "large sum" of wealth, and immediately decided to buy weapons and go out of the town to hunt all evil monsters!
A short time later, a blue tiled house appeared in front of me, and a large sign hung on it, with a blue human figure painted on it.
The first thing that catches your eye after opening the door is two long counters and each full of goods, which makes the originally small space seem more narrow and crowded, so that visitors can't help but think of such a crowded place and don't know how they usually get in and out of the tally.
The human equipment shop is divided into a weapon shop and a prop shop, but it is actually a shop, and both salespeople wear the same overalls, and there are no other signs or signs in them, the only difference is that one wears a red cap and the other wears a blue cap.
Seeing a guest come in, the young man wearing a red hat immediately shouted: "Welcome, welcome!" If you want to buy weapons and armor for warriors, we have everything in our store, so let's see what you need. ”
The young man wearing a blue hat on the opposite side didn't speak with a straight face, as if he was a little angry, but after seeing the appearance of the person who came, his face suddenly turned cloudy: "Shang Chengfang? ”
"Hey, hey! Long Junwu, I haven't seen you for a long time, and Brother Long Junwen", after saying hello to the blue hat clerk, he hurriedly said hello to the young man in the red hat.
The Long brothers, who are also one of the few who are not prejudiced against Gomez, are also natives of Lado Town, and the reason why they do not have the traditional feudal thinking of others is because their ancestral home is from the Long family in Kara Town.
After the Great War that year, the commander of the Dragon Clan's reinforcements was shameless to return to the family because his sister stole the fragments of the Divine Stone and married Potter and gave birth to offspring for him, and the Dragon Legion suffered heavy casualties and was almost wiped out, and publicly announced that he would sever relations with his sister.
After that, he stayed in Lado Town with his wife, concubines, children and some homeless old subordinates to settle down, and his son is the owner of the human equipment store and the father of the Long brothers!
The thin and short Long Junwen is the elder brother who is three years older than the younger brother Long Junwu, and when he gets serious, he looks righteous and awe-inspiring with a leader temperament, and when he laughs evilly, he looks like a cunning profiteer.
The younger brother Long Junwu has a well-proportioned body and looks quite strong, but he looks a little dull from the outside, but he is very naughty, and he often causes trouble and is often beaten and scolded by his father.
Long Junwen said: "Why did you come so early this time, it's still early to get off work, it's not good if you are found out by your father, let's come to Junwu to play again at the party, I was reprimanded by my father just now, and now if I go out with you to play, it will inevitably be another beating." ”
Long Junwu's expression froze, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, that old guy!" Wait until one day I can beat him, see if I don't beat his ass! Punish him for copying the ledger every day! ”
"I'm not here to play with you today, I'm going to buy weapons!"
"You want to buy weapons?"
The Long brothers' eyes widened in surprise, and they turned their heads to look at each other in tacit understanding, and then said in unison.
Shang Chengfang was a little proud, "Yes, I'm going out of town, I'm going to hunt monsters in the criminal suburbs like Big Brother Gomez!" ”
Long Junwen straightened his hat and asked with some surprise, "Your father now agrees with you to go out?" ”
"Uh...... This one...... Not yet, but I've already planned to sneak out while he's not looking! ”
Shang Chengfang frowned slightly, but when he talked about planning to sneak out, his expression changed and he looked quite proud.
Long Junwu said approvingly: "Well, a man should dare to fight monsters, it is an honor to be a warrior, and there are actually no too powerful monsters in the evil suburbs outside, I support you, come on!" ”
"Indeed, as Junwu said, there are no monsters in the criminal suburbs, but the danger is those bad guys with evil intentions, fallen bounty hunters, wanted criminals among humans, and bounty heads among monsters, and it is still very dangerous to encounter."
Long Junwen was a serious loyal elder at the beginning, and proposed to be careful about the dangers he should pay attention to, thinking that he would persuade Shang Chengfang not to go, but he didn't expect him to switch to the profiteer mode in an instant, and he smiled sinitiously and sold the weapons and armor he sold to Shang Chengfang:
"However, if you buy more weapons and armor, it's all trivial, for example, if you buy this shotgun, it's definitely sweeping everything!"
Long Junwen secretly observed his expression while introducing, "Look at the power of this ballista, although it is not as terrifying as the shotgun, it also hurts well, and it can be killed in one hit when it encounters a biochemical snail with high defense, but when it encounters a large number of monsters, it is still obscene, and this ......"
Long Junwu looked at the eldest brother with strange eyes, as if he didn't know him.
Profiteer! Absolute profiteers! Although the weapon is good, how can you say that big brother, you are so godly! If you were still selling weapons here? You would have been a warrior yourself, and you still had to spend half a day salivating to earn this money?
But it didn't say anything, although the monk Chengfang was a partner who played from childhood to adulthood, but Long Junwu also had a small abacus, the more money the family made, the more his salary and pocket money, and more importantly, if he dared to tell the truth, once he was seen by his father from the surveillance, he would inevitably be beaten and scolded!
Shang Chengfang listened to Long Junwen's introduction and suddenly increased his confidence, it turns out that the monster is so weak, as long as he buys a powerful weapon from Brother Long, he imagined that he would soon be able to realize his dream of becoming an admired bounty hunter, making a lot of money and becoming famous!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask happily: "Brother Long, how much is this shotgun?" ”
Long Junwen smiled, "It's not expensive, and the person who bought it is you, and I'll give you a discount." ”
