The West Block is a gathering place for residents with general status, and the people who live here often do not have a special identity and ability, but they are an indispensable part of maintaining the open source city.

For example, the staff of the group, the employees of the store, and so on, all need the participation of people here.

On a small street near the central square in the western district, there is an energy appraisal shop, which is also where Yang Shi currently works part-time.

The smart Yang Shi had already planned the question of financial resources after the subsidy ran out a year ago.

The job in the appraisal shop is undoubtedly one of the most lucrative and popular jobs at the moment, because the staff in it requires a lot of knowledge, and not everyone can work.

Compared with manual labor, this kind of knowledge accumulation work is what Yang Shi is good at, and he himself is very interested in this aspect.

So he took advantage of this time in school to focus on learning this knowledge and plan for his future part-time job.

Three months ago, he successfully passed the appraisal apprenticeship assessment and obtained the certificate, but unfortunately, due to his status as a resident of the North District, those large-scale appraisal shops did not plan to take him in.

After all, it was a gathering place for gangsters, thieves and murderers, and even if Yang Shi was very weak, they didn't want to make an exception for an apprentice.

Fortunately, talents in this area have always been in short supply, and after being rejected by those well-known big stores, Yang Shi still found a small shop that was willing to take him in.

"Yang Shi, you are finally here, there seems to be a big singer on Du Lei's side today, I have to go quickly, then the store will be handed over to you." ”

A young man in his twenties in the store, after seeing Yang Shi's figure, his eyes lit up, and he ran out without waiting for Yang Shi to enter the store.

Looking at his roaring figure, Yang Shi couldn't help but pout: "Like a baboon in heat." ”

This young man was also an apprentice in this appraisal shop, and he took turns with Yang Shi.

Considering that Yang Shi was still in class at the academy, he was on duty during the day, and from five o'clock in the evening to twelve o'clock in the morning, it was Yang Shi's turn to be on duty.

And the only employees here are the two of them, yes, only two apprentice-level appraisers supporting the scene, plus a Grande boss.

It's strange that such an appraisal shop can have business, so Yang Shi basically didn't take many orders.

It's the same today, until eleven o'clock in the evening, I didn't see anyone coming, and Yang Shi in the single machine simply lay down at the front desk to make up for sleep.

"It'll be closed in another hour. Yang Shi stretched and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

Yang Shi is the only one in the store now, and the boss will only stay for a while during the day, and basically will not come at night.

Watching the minute hand pass most of the way, Yang Shi got up and prepared to pack up and close the door.

"I'm a little hungry, do I want to eat something later, but I can't afford to eat electric worm meat, so I can buy some compressed biscuits to eat." ”

Yang Shi looked at the identity bracelet on his wrist, and in the federal currency column above, the number two hundred and eighty-three was displayed.

"There's only over 200 federal coins, and it's still the beginning of the month. Yang Shi sighed, and in the future, he could only tighten his belt and live.

The subsidy has already been distributed, and this apprenticeship part-time job can only bring Yang Shi 500 federal coins per month for living expenses.

This is a very cheap salary among appraisal apprentices, even less than a third of the others, and this is all because of the boss of Grande.

Yang Shi didn't think about resigning, but he didn't dare to guarantee that there were other appraisal shops willing to take him in, and the identity of a resident of the North Block caused him a lot of trouble.

"Forget it, when this year's appraisal is passed, I will be able to move out of the North District, and the situation will be much better by then. ”

Yang Shi was cleaning up and planning for future survival, and I have to say that after coming to this world, he didn't have a good life.

Stomp ......

The hands were about to turn to twelve o'clock, when a slight sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the middle of the night on the small street, which seemed particularly quiet.

Squeak.

The door of the shop was suddenly pushed open.

"I'm sorry, we're going to close the door here......" Yang Shi heard the sound of pushing the door, stopped what he was doing, and turned around and said.

It's just that he got stuck in his throat in the middle of his words, and his face was a little surprised.

The visitor was draped in a black robe, his face hidden in shadow by a hood on his head, and a pair of long combat boots made a framed sound as he stepped on the old floor.

The main reason that frightened Yang Shi was that this person vented his coldness, his nose twitched slightly, and he could smell a little bit of blood, which was the smell of blood volatilizing in the air.

Yang Shi is particularly sensitive to this, in the northern neighborhood where dragons and snakes are mixed, if he does not learn the ability to avoid danger, then this person will not live long.

"This ...... Guest, don't know how I can help you. Yang Shi withdrew the word sir, unsure of his appearance and gender, and could only address him as a guest, so as not to anger him.

The black-robed man raised his head slightly, and under the illumination of the light, Yang Shi saw a corner peeking out from under his hood.

Pitch-black metal?

"I wore a mask to hide myself, this black metal ......" Yang Shi lowered his eyelids and stayed on the black-robed man's body, in order to hide the possible changes in his eyes, and at the same time prevent any abnormal movements of the black-robed man.

"Are you an appraiser?" the black-robed man made a deliberately hoarse voice, which Yang Shi thought was deliberate.

"Yes, sir, do you need to identify something? Although the voice was hoarse, there was no doubt that it was a man, and Mr. Yang Shi changed his name.

"Damn!" the black-robed man suddenly took out a small black box from his arms and put it on the platform in front of Yang Shi, his voice was hurried.

"Identify the contents of the box, I'll come back to pick it up in a while, if you don't identify it......" A bright light flashed, and the black-robed man turned around and galloped outside.

"Not identified...... Yang Shi's gaze fell on the platform in front of him, and a small crack was constantly expanding.

Card rub

The platform was split in two from the middle, and Yang Shi touched his chest, where there was a chill.

There was also a long scratch on his chest on his coat.

With a sigh, Yang Shi took off his torn coat and picked up the small black box that had fallen on the ground.

Obviously, this is a threat from Chiguoguo, and if Yang Shi doesn't identify it, or even if it does, it's dangerous.

"Escape?" Yang Shi doubted if he could escape the pursuit of such a dangerous guy.

Smack.

There was no energy lock on the small box, Yang Shi opened it directly, and a white condensed bead was placed inside.

Some resemble night pearls, almost the size of half an egg.

If you look closely, you can see that there are white air currents circling slowly inside the beads.

Yang Shi took out a piece of metal and placed it on top of the beads.

A virtual console emerged from the metal sheet, and Yang Shi's fingers tapped quickly on it.

A few minutes later.

"It's really something in the Divine Domain. Yang Shi looked at the beads in the box with some surprise.

Putting away the operating table, Yang Shi couldn't help but take out this bead from the box and put it in the palm of his hand to observe it carefully.

"It's not like an inheritance orb, there doesn't seem to be any record of such a bead in the classics, but there are a lot of similar beads, but they all seem to be different from this one......

Half an hour later, Yang Shi was ready to run, he couldn't identify the reason for this bead at all, and if he didn't run, he would really wait to be killed.

However, accidents always arise when the situation is critical.

Yang Shi wanted to put the bead back, but his hand slipped, and the bead fell straight to the ground.

"Holy. ”

He immediately reached out to fish, who knows if the bead would be very fragile and smashed by him.

But with Yang Shi's physical fitness, how could he have such a good reaction.

The beads fell to the floor without hindrance.

Boom!

There was a dull sound, and the next thing was to press down on the coffin board of a certain powerful person beforehand.

The bead, which was obviously inelastic on the outside, rebounded at a speed beyond common sense, even beyond what Yang Shi's naked eyes could capture, after falling to the floor.

Yang Shi immediately covered his throat, but it was too late, and the beads disappeared after entering his mouth, without the pain of being hit and the blockage of falling into his esophagus.

"Where did the beads go?" he wondered.

But suddenly, he only felt that his whole body was starting to burn, as if he was immersed in a boiling cauldron, and he felt unusually uncomfortable.

At the moment when Yang Shi fell, the last thought in his heart, "Am I going to be cooked?"
