Chapter 10 Part-time Jobs
Xiang Yan panted and ran all the way back to the dormitory, and didn't dare to turn back into the dormitory all the way, Xiang Yan's hanging heart was put down and gasped for breath. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After panting, Xiang Yan wiped the sweat from his head and turned around and walked back to the bedroom
"Brother Yan, what's going on," as soon as he entered the door, Bart said helplessly, his face flushed, and he ran too fast just now, and several people were out of breath.
"I" Xiang Yan just wanted to explain, Cali waved his hand, "Forget it, it doesn't matter, Brother Yan, have you seen Teacher Leah"?
"Teacher Leah?" Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and shook his head again, "I didn't see it."
"Impossible, don't you investigate everything, fat man, Teacher Leah is taking a bath at this time?"
"I don't know," Barth spread his hands, and several people sighed helplessly, feeling lost in their hearts.
The three of them plan to prepare for a month this time, and step on the girls' bathhouse every day just to see Teacher Leah's slender figure on this day
Among the four people, only Xiang Yan was not disappointed in his heart, and he was still a little excited, Xiang Yan took a few deep breaths to calm down.
But the other three looked like frosted eggplants, muttered a few words and went to sleep, Xiang Yan also washed up and climbed into bed to prepare for sleep.
Xiang Yan closed his eyes and fell asleep on the bed, everyone was very tired and fell asleep one by one snoring loudly, and the whole area of Meteorite No. 1 was quiet and peaceful.
However, no one knew that Meteorite City was a turning point in the rise and fall of the IT Republic tonight.
............
At this time, outside the city of Meteorite City on the other side, the vast elk forest of tens of thousands of miles is where the demonic beasts inhabit and survive, and in the middle of the night, it is the paradise of the demonic beasts.
The speed of the three figures flying through the air was jaw-dropping.
The three of them were wearing black robes to cover most of their bodies, as if the whole person was submerged in this vast night, and suddenly a cold male voice said, "This is the capital of the IT Republic, Meteorite City"?
"That's right," another male voice echoed, and Xuan immediately let out a sneer, "Heh, I thought it would be so troublesome to invade in, but it was so easy."
"Demon wolf, don't take it lightly, we are spies of the Morley Empire, this time we came to Meteorite City, don't forget our purpose."
"Heh, isn't it just to assassinate Emperor Yan" Another black-robed man wrapped his fingers around his hood, his black hair in a bun under his hood, his enchanting posture exuding a charming aura on his body, "In my opinion, he is just the emperor of a small country."
"Heh, the Phantom should not underestimate the extraordinary strength of the Yan Emperor, otherwise the Mori Emperor would not have sent us"
"This plan has been prepared for many years, everything is careful, today we will dive in first, and then the inside and outside will be combined."
"Got it, Sixth Master," the woman named Phantom nodded, respecting him very much.
Suddenly, there was a loud roar in the sky.
"There is the roar of a demonic beast behind the sixth master."
The black-robed man named Demon Wolf said in a cold voice, and after speaking, he only heard the roar of a beast in the sky, and a lightning leopard rushed into the sky and let out a terrifying roar.
The lightning leopard is extremely fast, and its lightning strength is equivalent to the human muscle training realm.
The faces of the two people next to the sixth master changed slightly, but the sixth master looked as usual, and his old cheeks had a hint of a sly smile.
"I can't imagine that this meteorite iron city has tens of thousands of square meters of natural barriers as cover, no wonder it is impregnable and can really be described as a country of abundance."
"Do you say yes?" Han Xin, "Master Zu".
Suddenly, the sixth master's body sent out bursts of cold air, and the blue battle qi exploded, and the power rose, and a strong figure condensed behind him in response to the sixth master's words.
"Yes, but these monsters are too annoying" The figure gradually condensed into a human form, eight feet long, wearing a crown on his head, wearing a gray cloth coat, a soft leather armor on his chest, and a fluttering coat behind him, stepping on a white phoenix on his waist, wearing a topaz belt, and carrying a white long sword scabbard cross-body, quite chivalrous.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword was drawn, and the lightning leopard let out a mournful cry and died.
A sword, directly when the speed is amazing, the lightning leopard was stabbed to death by a sword inserted into the spleen.
The sixth master smiled indifferently, "Master Zu, calm down this kind of projectile land, how can Master Zu follow Han Gaozu to conquer such a small city."
The tall figure did not speak, withdrew the long sword, and the sixth master waved his hand and said to the other person, "Enter the city."
After speaking, the three of them turned into a black wind and flew into the city.
......
The next day was a rare day off, and the four of them were thinking about where to play, but Xiang Yan didn't have him to work.
Xiang Yan has no relatives here, and his tuition is earned a little by working on his own.
The Red Light District is a place that almost undertakes the life and entertainment of the people of the Meteorite City, where there are all kinds of entertainment venues, the buildings are scattered, the street lamps on both sides of the street are trying their best to release white light, people are wearing gorgeous clothes and expensive pocket watches, and there are a few big beautiful women accompanying them.
The sky is drizzling, but the red light district is not lonely at all, but a little emotional.
This is the center of the entire Meteorite City, a place for celebrities and nobles to communicate
Xiang Yan sighed and walked forward slowly.
What is Xiang Yan doing in this place?
There is only one reason to work part-time.
Xiang Yan found a job in the red-light district, and the job was simply a waiter who earned a salary through manual labor.
Xiang Yan sneezed, his body trembled, raised his head and saw the alley turned around and walked in, the alley was pitch black, Xiang Yan groped his way inside, and after a while, under the dim light, an antique shop appeared in front of him.
The decoration of the antique shop is simple and low-key, there is only a sign with the word "antique" hanging outside the house, without this sign can not see the difference between it and ordinary houses, the wooden door is pasted with a strange god, is the god of the East.
Xiang Yan pushed open the wooden door, making a squeaky sound, and just pushed the door in, a high-pitched voice sounded, like a firebird screaming.
"How can you break my jade bracelet!
"Your jade bracelet is fake, why don't you lose money?"
In front of the quaint counter stood a middle-aged man, of medium stature in a wide suit, with a professional smile on his face.
"You said to identify whether it was real jade, and you just smashed the jade bracelet! I don't care if you have to pay me money today."
The middle-aged man turned his head and noticed Xiang Yan's presence.
"Xiang Yan, go backstage and give me a cup of tea."
"Did you listen to me!" the man who spoke like a turkey screamed.
"Oh, I'm listening," the middle-aged man almost ignored him
"My baby was ruined by you, you have to lose money today or I will smash your store"!
The manly face was flushed, somewhat similar to a turkey, and suddenly the middle-aged man looked up and looked quite unhappy.
"You stole this jade bracelet, right?"
The man sat up like a spring when he heard it, "What! nonsense"
The middle-aged man took a sip of the teacup, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, "Heh, I said that there is a natural basis for this, first of all, your voice is high-pitched and rough, and you are dressed like a miner, but there is no trace of soot smell on your body."
The man's face suddenly changed, and he took a few steps back.
"Apparently you deliberately dressed like this, because it didn't attract attention, and then tell me that this jade bracelet was ...... you picked up."
"Right...... It's really a ...... out of a heavy pit I picked up."
"That Mine ......"
"Southeast Pit".
"What time".
"It's almost seven o'clock this morning."
"It's 15 kilometers from the southeast pit, and now it's 8.56 minutes before you flew here, and there is no trace of dust on the jade bracelet."
The man was stunned for a moment, and the middle-aged man at the counter continued.
"Heh, I think you picked it up from a certain nobleman in the red light district, and the mine owner has a wife from the Eastern Continent."
The man suddenly screamed loudly and looked shocked, and the middle-aged man spread his hands regretfully
"A thief like you may be very clever at stealing, but you don't have the intelligence, I bet the person you stole is not rich, otherwise he wouldn't have given his wife a fake bracelet."
"It's a pity, you're busy today, get out of here before I plan to call the police"
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the man shrunk his collar and glared at him angrily and turned to leave.
When he left, Xiang Yan slowly walked over and said, "Boss Luke, there is another liar to try his luck"?
Luke smiled slightly, "This kind of thief, I don't want to worry about him, you go and throw away this jade bracelet."
Luke, the owner of this antique shop, a man in his forties who has almost no features except for his fatter body and thick beard, but he will pay Xiang Yan a high salary, so Xiang Yan has been working here, and the job content is very simple, cleaning up all kinds of cultural relics on the counter and some chores.
Luke heard that he was a soldier of the Eastern Continent Expeditionary Force, and when he came to this continent, he settled down and opened a small shop, and lived here for several years.
Luke loves to collect, antiques everywhere, and he calls himself a "fiery eye", nothing can jump his eyes.
Xiang Yan cleaned up the broken jade bracelet neatly, and when he came to the counter, Luke picked up the abacus and beat it quickly.
After a few processes, Luke yelled unhappily, "The thief just now delayed me a lot of time, Xiang Yan, you are watching me at the counter tonight, and I want to go out."
Xiang Yan nodded, Luke left in a hurry, Xiang Yan knew that although Luke loved collecting, he loved beautiful women even more, and he would not miss a party tonight.
Xiang Yan has been working here for a while, and he has mastered a little bit of treasure appreciation skills with Luke, so there is no problem in looking at the counter
In Luke's antique shop, apart from Luke, there is only Xiang Yan alone, and he is not willing to spend more money to hire others
The noise in the red light district came and went, but it didn't affect the antique shops in the alley at all, Xiang Yan sat behind the counter and dozed off, suddenly frowned and pinched his nose, "Damn, who threw the garbage in front of my store again."
Indeed, a stinking smell spread to the antique shop, and the door of the antique shop was suddenly knocked open, and a figure rushed towards Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan was startled in his heart, jumped up suddenly, but heard a hoarse voice.
"Hey, hey, what's your boss?"
The antique shop crashed into a scrawny man named Hans the "Leper Dog", a beggar from the neighborhood of the Red Light District, who often wandered around the area, wearing a dirty white shirt and oily bell bottoms, and his eyes were empty and his teeth were uneven, like a vicious dog that was disliked by men.
However, the vicious dog and Luke share a hobby of collecting all kinds of things, and Hans later becomes Luke's loyal companion, helping Luke collect various treasures and sell them at the "right" price.
"Luke, he's out, you're a step late," Xiang Yan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, Hans's expression was a little worried, but then he took out something in his arms and put it on the counter.
"This is what I inadvertently 'taken' from the hands of a mysterious guy, the price you kid look at, I trust your vision."
Xiang Yan nodded, carefully opened the wrapped black cloth, a stone lay quietly on it, Xiang Yan wore white gloves, picked up the white lens and observed the black stone, after a while, Xiang Yan put down the stone and said, "This is ordinary black iron ore."
"Impossible!" Hans stood up suddenly, "This stone should be a rare shadow catcher!"
Shadow Catching Stone is a black stone that can record images, this kind of stone can only be generated naturally, and cannot be artificially made, and Shadow Catching Stone can record anything that can be recorded including words and images.
Shadow Catchers can be said to have a price, after all, things that can record images are very rare in this era.
However, the Shadow Catcher is almost indistinguishable from regular black iron ore, so it is difficult to identify, and the only thing that can be identified is a faint cyan stone pattern on the Shadow Catcher.
However, this one does not have this stone pattern, or it is not visible at all.
Hans picked up the stone, his face became more and more ugly, "It's impossible, I was able to activate him just now, how could it be ......."
"I've identified it, it's just ordinary ore"
"Heh," Hans fiddled with still disbelief for a while, smiling bitterly, and placing the stone on the counter, "then you say, how much".
"Fifteen copper coins, it can't be more."
Hans nodded, "Okay, that's enough for me to buy a bottle of wine."
Hans picked up the money and turned to leave, Xiang Yan sighed How many people hope to get rich overnight, but it's just a bubble for the little people.
Xiang Yan put the stone away, and suddenly the stone emitted a cyan light......
