Chapter 013: Buying Pen and Ink

Teacher Zhang Xia couldn't help but praise: "Whether it is the power of the flames, the duration, or the height of control, you are the best of all!

"What's your name?"

"Qi Lan. ”

At this time, Motai's head leaned over, and he twisted and said, "Teacher, and my ......"

"Oh, yes, there's the last one, you can try it too. ”

Motai opened the small piece of paper in his hand. With just one glance, Zhang Xia couldn't help laughing.

Motai was laughed at by the person she liked, and was in a hurry, so she threw the talisman upwards and shouted, "Burn!"

Everyone looked at the fire talisman, there was a little flame there, originally his fire talisman was small enough, but the flame was even smaller, about the size of a match, and the fire talisman was not fixed in the air, falling down. There was a burst of laughter.

The demon was even more anxious, and he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of the person he liked, so he yelled again: "Give it to me!"

In an instant, the small fire charm rushed up like a small rocket, hitting the headlights of the dome directly, and the flame was extinguished in the middle of the way.

Teacher Zhang Xia sneered. Catch the falling rune paper, which is still mostly intact.

Motai said, "Teacher, my height is higher than his!"

"Yes, yes, you all have your strengths. Teacher Zhang Xia's words made Mo Tai happy, and Qi Lan saw him wincing at himself. But Zhang Xia's next sentence made Motai's smiling face turn into a cry.

"Qi Lan, come to the office after class, I have something to say to you. ”

After class, Qi Lan followed Zhang Xia out, and he could feel a pair of fiery eyes from behind.

Coming to the office, Qi Lan couldn't wait to speak: "Teacher, that envelope-"

"You didn't write it, I know. ”

"You know?" Qi Lanqi said.

Zhang Xiawaner smiled, "That unique font is not something that others can learn, I have assigned so many homework, and I have already recognized the student's font." ”

Qi Lan thought of Motai's character and thought it was funny, but the teacher continued, "But I've never seen your font." ”

He was sweating profusely, "Teacher, I'm ......"

"Judging from your performance today, your ability can be regarded as excellent, don't waste such an excellent qualification in fun," Zhang Xia said earnestly, "Of course, your grades are also in the eyes of the teacher, and the fire talisman is very well made." The teacher believes that you must have worked hard in class. ”

Qi Lan remembered the desperate practice at the old lady these days.

"You want to learn independently, the teacher can understand that, but if you don't want to come to class, you have to meet a few requirements, and you can do it before you don't come to class. ”

Qi Lan said urgently: "Okay, no problem." ”

"You haven't listened to me yet, don't rush to agree. If you don't want to come to class, show the teacher the ten Burst Fire Talismans you made at the end of the semester. ”

Qi Lan only thought for a while, and said affirmatively: "There is no problem." ”

"Have you thought about it? If you can't do it, you will fail the credits and you may repeat the grade. ”

"Think it through. ”

As the name suggests, the Burst Fire Talisman has a bursting effect and is very powerful, not to mention that it is used as a performance assessment, even if it is made for your own use, it is good. But at the same time, its production difficulty is several times that of ordinary fire talismans, and the success rate of general novice production is very low.

Before leaving. Zhang Xia also reminded Qi Lan: "By the way, convey the teacher's advice to the kid Motai, tell him to work hard, and there will be girls who like him in the future." ”

"Got it. ”

Now Qi Lan has a new task, to make ten bursting fire talismans before the semester, for this must be prepared in advance, materials such as runes and rune ink need to go to the exchange area to purchase, continue to use the old lady's materials He can't get over it.

He came to the slashing field in the Glory District again and asked Li Ran that there was no reward for the first-level active wooden array, and only those above the second level and reached a certain score would be rewarded.

"Now that I have time, it's time to go to the more advanced Wooden Man Formation to harvest the gold coins. ”

When he came to the second-level wooden formation, there were also some people lining up to prepare, and Qi Lan observed it by himself for a while.

The second-level wooden man appeared taller and faster, and he snorted when he saw the people on the field being hit, which was obviously not easy to deal with. Bumping and bumping, the man finally took the last step, and fell to the ground to rest, rubbing the place where the wooden man had struck.

"Qin Canglan, one hundred and twenty points. The administrator recorded.

The score system of the second-level wooden human formation is 200 points, so if 120 points are changed to a 100 point system, it is 60 points, which is passable, and if it is lower, there will be no score.

Qin Canglan thanked the recorder for leaving, and someone went up to challenge, which was even worse, although he passed through, he failed because the score was too low-

Qi Lan pondered on the sidelines for a long time, combined with the clearance of his predecessors, and found a line that was the most efficient and least attacked.

"I'm coming!" he jumped out of the barrier.

Entering the wooden human formation, it was really easy, it was faster than the first-level wooden human formation, and the front was basically not hindered, but when it came to the middle, the wooden man's movements became irregular, and everything had to be judged on the spot, although Qi Lan tried his best to dodge, it was inevitable that some parts of his body would be hit.

"Whew!" The attack power of the second-level wooden man is more than twice that of the first-level wooden person, and the pain of hitting the body is obvious. Qi Lan endured so that the pain would not affect his dodging figure, otherwise he would suffer more blows.

He was hit again, from behind, and almost threw him in front of him, but once he fell to the ground, the challenge immediately failed.

"Since you can't avoid injury, you have to be selectively injured. He let his arm fend off some of the attacks he didn't have time to dodge, and slowly completed the second half of the way.

"Qi Lan, one hundred and sixty points. ”

This score did not surprise him in the slightest, if he wanted to get the reward, he must reach more than 180 points, that is, the number of hits must be controlled within 10.

Obviously, the more powerful the person is, the easier it is for the person to break through, and the lower the level, the more difficult it is for the person to break through, even if he barely passes, he will end up in pain.

At this time, Qi Lan remembered "Upper Arm Iron Pattern Primary One", due to the lack of coins, he had not practiced for many days. But in order to break through the level, in order to obtain rewards, Qi Lan decided to change his strategy and pay a part of the coins to cultivate the iron pattern first.

Qi Lan's consumption card originally had 500 copper coins, three copper coins a day for food, came here for more than ten days, has used a little, now it is July, there are still more than four months to go home in early December, so the copper coins are just enough to cope with the food.

"I don't know how much it costs. He knew that the pen and the pen were universal, and that the pen was very cheap, or he could borrow one from the old lady, but the ink was said to be quite expensive. After reading "Upper Arm Iron Pattern Primary I" for many days, he was sure that he would succeed in depicting it and that he didn't need to hire a painter. He felt that painting patterns was easier than drawing symbols, and painting symbols would work, and painting patterns would definitely be no big problem.

According to the instructions on the map, he came to the trade field in the exchange area and found that there was a dense flow of people.

"That's a lot of people. "Crowds converge and flow through the four staggered arterial roads. He went with the flow, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he squeezed into a shop called "Heavenly Runes".

"Shopkeeper, your name is so domineering. Qi Lan went in and quipped.

The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "It is only when we are domineering that we are loud and loud, and people can remember our brand." It's not to blow with you, we have branches all over the country to sell, although the guest officer can rest assured, buy it in our place, it is absolutely original and genuine, the price is affordable, and the child is not bullied. ”

For a while, Xiao Er had already said something boastful, and Qi Lan found some clues from his words.

"Aren't you part of the Treasure Hall?"

Xiao Er smiled lightly: "Guest officer, don't you know, there are many businessmen here, how can they all belong to Baotang? We are just cooperating with Baotang and opening a stronghold here." ”

Qi Lan came to his senses, it turned out that the business and trade field in the exchange area was connected to the outside world, no wonder there was a checkpoint when he came in, and he didn't need to check when he came out of the treasure hall, but he had to check the identity charm when he entered the treasure hall.

After having a certain foundation in talisman making, Qi Lan also found that the brand on his body was not an ordinary brand, but a rune with runes, as long as it came into contact with the rune card out of the level, he could naturally sense the identity of the wearer.

"Do you have any brushes and inks for sale here?"

"There must be. "The shopkeeper spoke quite funny, "It's not unreasonable for our store to be called "Tongtian Runes", as long as it is an item related to talismans and patterns that can be found on the market, most of the types are sold in our store, although it is only a small branch here, but it also includes many common types of rune supplies. ”

Immediately, the shopkeeper beckoned Qi Lan to browse all kinds of pencils. The patterns are different and the shapes are exquisite.

"I don't need those fancy ones, do you have a practical and simple pen?" Qi Lan asked, his spending was limited and he had to spend it on the root knots.

"Yes, look at it. Xiao Er casually took one out from below. Qi Lan took it over and watched, the style was ordinary, and not surprising was the biggest feature.

"This one only costs one copper coin. "The shopkeeper automatically quotes the price.

It was so cheap, Qi Lan immediately bought it.

"Guest, you still need to find the ink, don't you, look at this one. Xiao Er had already seen Qi Lan's needs, and put the two patterns in front of his eyes.

"What's the difference between the two?" Qi Lan asked. Look at the color is turquoise, one bottle is a little stronger, and the other bottle is a little lighter.

"These two are the most affordable inks, and they are also very popular in our place, the effect of painting is similar, this bottle has a darker smell and a stronger side effect on the body, and the side effects on the body may be a little stronger, this bottle is a little lighter and diluted, the smell is less heavy, and a little neutralizing and compensating herbs that are useful for the body are added. In terms of price, both are at the same price, both sell for 70 copper coins, see that you are a student of Baotang, I will give you a preferential price, 60 copper coins. ”

It's so expensive!,Qi Lan exclaimed in his heart. Just this palm-sized bottle of ink will cost him more than half a month's food expenses. He looked at the two bottles of ink and pondered the shopkeeper's words.

Fu Mo has a certain negative effect on the body, which he has understood. Generally, as long as the pattern is not given frequently, it can be controlled within an acceptable range, like this very ordinary and even inferior ink, the effect is not strong, and the relative negative effect is not very large, so the effect of this bottle of strong green ink should be better, as for the pale green ink, although the so-called medicinal materials are added, it is just better than nothing, but it is not credible or unknown.

After making up his mind, Qi Lan bargained with the shopkeeper and finally bought the bottle of dark green ink for fifty copper coins. Consumption cards can also be passed here, which brings convenience to Qi Lan. As for the materials related to the Burst Fire Talisman, Qi Lan decided to prepare them after a while.

After going back, Qi Lan kept preparing for the first tattoo.
