Chapter 9: The Old Man Who Made the Bullet
Early the next morning, Hua Ye woke up to find Xinqiu still lying on the bed drooling, probably tired and tired.
Hua Ye didn't wake up Xinqiu, and after gently closing the door, he came to the hotel lobby alone, wanting to inquire about the better powder gun stores nearby, after all, this kind of "backward" weapons business is becoming more and more difficult to do, and there are too few stores than in the previous era.
"Huh? Coffee? Hua Ye was just about to ask the maid at the front desk when he found that there was a drink on the menu that he had never heard of, and there were many strange names underneath.
"Excuse me, is there a powder gun shop in this place?" Hua Ye asked the maid while looking at the menu.
"Yes, but the door isn't very conspicuous, so you need to be careful." After that, the maid took out a map and marked Hua Ye's approximate location, "I don't know exactly where it is, so please go over there and look for it again, I'm really sorry." ”
"It's okay, thank you." Hua Ye pointed to a type of coffee on the menu, "Let's wash Yega Shephet with a cup of water." ”
"Okay, please wait." The maid commanded the person next to her a few times, and walked towards Hua Ye, "Please come with me." ”
Hua Ye was led to a seat, a small velvet red sofa with a hardwood dark round table, and another maid then brought a plate of instruments, which Hua Ye had never seen before.
"Please wait a few minutes and serve you coffee right away." Later, the maid poured out the brown beans with a strong aroma from a delicate cloth bag into a machine with a long handle, and then the maid began to turn the long handle, Hua Ye knew that this should be grinding, and the next step should be brewing.
Then the maid poured the ground powder evenly into a funnel with filter paper, and picked up a strange long saliva jug to moisten all the powder. After a moment's wait, she used the jug to add water in a delicate circle. Hua Ye was surprised that the water output of this kettle was very uniform and stable, could it be some kind of magic product.
After the last bit of water was almost filtered, the maid poured a cup of Yergacheffe for Hua Ye in a delicate and elegant porcelain cup.
"Please take your time."
The strong aroma reminded him of the "tea" he drank yesterday at the bounty center, the two are very similar but have obvious differences, and it is really impossible to say.
This cup of coffee actually has a fresh fruity sourness, and the bitterness is much less than yesterday's.
Satisfied, with this novelty drink finished, it's time to go back and call the lazy pig.
At this time, Xinqiu was already eating the leftover meat from yesterday, and then followed Hua Ye to find the powder gun shop with satisfaction.
"Brother Yezi, Xiaoqiu's equipment also needs to be changed!" Xinqiu looked at the uneven metal block on her body and shouted for Hua Ye to take her to the physical repair shop.
"What's the physical cultivation shop," Hua Ye knocked on her head, "Those are called battle armor shops, I'll take you there when I get my things done." ”
"Yes, yes! Xiaoqiu wants to buy the hardest armor! That way it won't be broken! ”
When Hua Ye turned around and asked left and right, he finally stood at the door of this store, and refused in his heart. Then he asked at least ten more residents in the vicinity, and he was sure that it was this family. The narrow door that could only accommodate one person in and out, and the wooden threshold was so black that I couldn't see anything in this store that didn't even have a signboard in broad daylight.
Summoning up the courage to step through the door, the two of them walked through the small corridor where they could barely see their fingers, and saw an old man with gray hair inside, hunched over at the workbench with his back to them, tinkering with something under the orange spotlight, as if he didn't know that a guest was coming.
Hua Ye twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at this so-called "shop" the size of a palm, the walls were full of bullet holes of different sizes, and there were even gaps caused by bursting bullets, but when he saw an extremely thin bullet hole, he knew that this store was not like anything else, it sold bullets by bullet hole ballistics, not a column of bulletheads, only people who knew how to do it, Hua Ye suddenly felt awe-inspiring in his heart, he had found the right place, I hope it is not too expensive.
"Old man," Xinqiu was still very polite, and called softly behind the old man, "We're here to buy equipment." ”
"Okay, wait for me for a while, just a while," the old man's majestic voice didn't look like an old man at all, but like the sound of a gun exploding, "It's okay right away, you can take a look at it first, haha, it's going to be successful, hahaha!" ”
Hua Ye stood aside very respectfully, his eyes still looking around, judging from the bullet holes, there were no less than a hundred kinds of bullets here, which was already a lot compared to other powder gun shops. There are dozens of warhead types here just for ordinary bullets, which makes Hua Ye look forward to it.
Xinqiu looked east and west, and the wall with thousands of holes was boring after playing for a while, so he began to meditate and practice qi.
"Haha, come try my new bullet lad!" The old man didn't even twist his head and threw a handful of twelve shiny bullets in Hua Ye's direction, Hua Ye was very skillful in forming bullets in the air and loading the two guns in an instant, and then shot at the wall.
"Huh? Silencer? Hua Ye was surprised, the recoil of the bullet was really fed back to his hands, and the smell of gunpowder was obvious, but from the bullet out of the chamber to the deep embedded in the wall, he couldn't hear any sound at all.
"Wow quack, the old decay is finally done!" The old man crossed his hands on his hips and looked up to the sky and laughed, "These two years have not been in vain hahaha!" ”
Hua Ye shot a few more times, convinced that this bullet could be silenced, so he curiously took out the remaining few rounds to see what the principle was.
"Boy, you can't understand it," the old man looked at the light with a bullet as if admiring, "This is a combination of art and technology, and only the old can make it, wow quack!" ”
Although this old man was very annoying, Hua Ye was respectful, "May I ask the old gentleman's name, I really admire it, these bullets are definitely not available on the market." ”
"Wow quack, of course, how can the old and decayed things be compared to those garbage goods?" The old man finally began to pay attention to Hua Ye, put away the head-mounted magnifying glass in front of him, his eyes were as bright as the black muzzle of the gun, "Boy, you don't need to know the name of the old man, it has long been forgotten, you just need to know that it will be addicted after using the old bullet, wow quack!" ”
Hua Ye swallowed his saliva and was discovered by the old man, "Say it, kid, what kind of ones do you like?" Even though open flames were forbidden in the gunpowder workshop, the old man still lit a cigarette, "Even if you don't have it, it doesn't matter, the old decay can still be customized, quack!"
