Chapter 55: Crafting the Bullet
Leaving the backyard with the drawings, thinking about the master's last reminder, Zhong Chao shook his head:
"The master has been studying for several years and has gained nothing, and I am asked not to have too many expectations, the secret scroll of the Star Sea should be very incomplete, but although it is broken, it is at least a clue."
After obtaining the drawings, Zhong Chao did not watch them immediately, but first went back to the courtyard, hid the picture scroll and notes, and then, he took Zongsheng and Di Hua to leave the martial arts hall and walked into Jujiang City.
As for Jiang Liang...... Zhong Chao needed someone to help him take care of the other named disciples and assign tasks, so he could only leave him behind.
And yesterday he had taken Jiang Liang out of the martial arts hall once, and today it was the turn of the other two.
Leaving the martial arts hall, the bustling crowd and all kinds of noisy selling voices instantly met his ears.
"Selling steamed buns, freshly baked big meat buns......"
"Sugar Gourd ......"
This long-lost breath of life made Zong Sheng and Di Hua instantly addicted.
And Zhong Chao also took a deep breath at the door of the martial arts hall, and his face was a little emotional.
"It's really nice to come and go!"
After feeling the breath of life and freedom, Zhong Chao's second feeling was the class difference in Jujiang City.
The location of the King Kong Martial Arts Hall is extremely special, it is located at the junction of the powerful area and the civilian area in the inner city of Jujiang City.
Because of this, Zhong Chao who came out saw the different lifestyles of the inner city and the common people.
In order to survive, people in civilian areas come and go in a hurry, and their clothes are extremely simple.
At the same time, most of the food and daily necessities sold here are hawkers.
The inner city is completely different, the people there are gorgeously dressed and laid-back, and the things they sell are mainly treasures, restaurants, green houses and other luxury entertainment.
Moreover, at the entrance of the inner city street, Zhong Chao also saw some sergeants guarding the guards, and some disheveled or simple people would be blocked by them.
"Ordinary people can't even get in, and this class difference is really big."
Zhong Chao was naturally able to enter the inner city, but after a glance, his gaze was retracted, and he took Zongsheng and Jiang Liang to a market in the civilian area.
The inner city is not the territory of the Vajra Martial Arts Hall, but is controlled by the government and the powerful.
ββAlthough gangsters are rampant in Jujiang City and martial arts halls are everywhere, it is the government and the magnates living in the inner city who really control the town, and even, many gangsters in the outer city are black gloves supported by the magnates in the inner city.
In this case, naturally no gang dares to go to the inner city to spread wilderness, and correspondingly, the King Kong Martial Arts Hall cannot 'shelter' the inner city.
β¦β¦
With Zongsheng and Di Hua, Zhong Chao and the three of them finally turned into a snack street, which was extremely lively, full of people, all kinds of tempting food stalls one after another, looking at this lively and prosperous scene, Zongsheng couldn't help laughing.
"With so many people, this street is definitely full of oil and water...... Dachao, the owner handed over this street to you, and he is very optimistic about you. β
In this regard, Zhong Chao nodded:
"The owner is really good to me."
led Zongsheng and Di Hua, and the three of them walked around the snack street, and halfway through, Zhong Chao also bought countless foods.
ββThe benefits of a large stomach are still there, and his super digestion ability allows him to eat everything he wants and not worry about gaining weight.
And one thing to say is that yesterday, Zhong Chao had already brought Jiang Liang to visit, and said hello to the stall owner here, telling them that the protection fee from now on would be collected by himself.
Therefore, almost all the stall owners on this street know him, and when he takes something, these stall owners even wave their hands and say that they don't need to give money.
In a way, it's a perk.
If you have a darker heart, you can even increase the protection fee levied by the martial arts hall a little, so as to squeeze out more oil and water.
"I don't have to hand over the squeezed ones to the martial arts hall, as long as I increase it by a little more than one percent, my income can be doubled."
It's a tempting idea.
It's just that, looking at the vicissitudes of life of those stall owners, thinking about their busy work of getting up early and being greedy at night, but they have to pay taxes and fees first, and then pay protection fees, and there is not a few dollars left in a year, Zhong Chao really can't take it for nothing with peace of mind.
"Forget it, it's not enough to snatch those three melons and two dates from the hands of civilians."
"Uncle, take it, I don't want to ruin the reputation of the Vajra Martial Arts Pavilion."
"Huh?"
Looking at Zhong Chao's departing figure and the copper coin in his hand, the stall owner was stunned for a long time, and finally, a somewhat depressed, but also a little excited voice sounded: "Great, God bless, we have a good person here!" β
ββ¦β¦β
If you can pay normally, you are a good person, which shows how bad the atmosphere of this world is.
This also made Zhong Chao understand one thing - his own master is quite chivalrous, and this sentence is not a mockery.
Compared to other martial arts halls and magnates, the King Kong martial arts hall is really good.
β¦β¦
Took the two of them to eat...... After walking around and getting familiar with the surrounding environment, Zhong Chao said: "This street is not far from the King Kong Martial Arts Pavilion, and there is usually no one to make trouble, but the person who should be left still has to stay one, and after that, I will trouble the three of you to rotate here." β
"Haha, what's the trouble, it should be that we thank you, many people in the martial arts hall can't come up with it."
Deehua: "Uh-huh...... I love it here, there's a lot of good food, and I don't have to get beaten up here. β
Seeing that the three of them were willing to come out, Zhong Chao also breathed a sigh of relief, he was going to go underwater to practice martial arts, and he didn't have time to stay here.
Thinking of something, Zhong Chao advised:
"Don't mess around with other people's things...... This kind of behavior will also ruin the reputation of the martial arts hall, and there is also a high probability that there is no incident, but if someone makes trouble, don't fight impulsively to death, first use the identity of the martial arts hall disciple to suppress them, and let them sell the King Kong martial arts hall a face. If it doesn't work, go to me and let me deal with it. β
Seeing Zhong Chao's cautiousness, the two immediately nodded.
"Understood, Dachao, we all listen to you."
After saying some precautions, he found that the two were very interested in this place, so Zhong Chao left the two here, and he went to the side street by himself, and came to a blacksmith shop.
"Knock knock."
Knocking on the table, Zhong Chao said directly:
"Boss, have I finished my custom thing?"
"It's you, the Damu you want...... Child...... The bullet has been built, give. β
While handing the two boxes to Zhong Chao, the blacksmith master said, "The name of this secret weapon is so strange, and besides, is there really no need for a flying knife?" Our Hongmen blacksmith shop is a good hand at crafting hidden weapons, whether it is throwing knives or darts, it is the best in the vicinity. Moreover, the lethality of these hidden weapons is stronger than the sub and bullet you specially built. β
"No, I think these dummy bullets are stronger than armor-piercing bullets!"
