Chapter 8 Zhou Shanren in the black-hearted shop

Li Yinguang is not very strange to the town of Manbach, and after crossing over and becoming a down-and-out aristocrat Bruce, he lives here.

The scale of Mambach Town is not small, although it is only a border town, but because of the geographical advantages and characteristic production, there are people coming and going to trade, and the surrounding danger factor is not too high, as long as you do not go to the depths of the wasteland, there is a great hope of survival, and it has also attracted many survivors from the surrounding areas to settle down.

In troubled times, it is not easy to survive, especially ordinary people.

"Bruce heard that you were accepted as a righteous son by the lord of the ironclad city, when will the debt be paid?"

There is a grocery store on the street of the slum, and I heard that this grocery store existed before the slum appeared.

Because the owner of this shop is kind-hearted, he often gives alms to the poor, and the poor people around him come to buy things, and they can owe some money.

There aren't many people like this in the town of Mambach.

The name of the grocery store is 'Blackheart Shop', and the owner's surname is Zhou, and he is an old man with thief eyebrows and mouse-eyed mustaches, and a somewhat mean face, and when he squints his eyes and stares at the women who pass by, it makes people feel very obscene.

People give the nickname 'Zhou Shanren'!

No one knows why Zhou Shanren stayed in the slums, but what is certain is that in addition to the people in the slums, the 'black heart shop' grocery store will come, and the people from all walks of life in the outside world will also come to patronize, and the reputation is outside, but it is rare to see anyone who dares to come here to make trouble.

"Pay it back now!"

Li Yinguang walked into the grocery store, on the surface, the 'black-hearted store' was not big, and there were some coarse grains, bacon, and daily groceries in the store.

"Hehe, does this mean that it is really developed?" Zhou Shanren squinted his eyes, pulled his sleeves with both hands, and said with a smile.

For a well-informed person like Old Man Zhou, he doesn't know if Li Yinguang is really developed, maybe the 'Fierce Spider' went out to attack the 'Ancient Castle' last night, and everyone knows it.

"Old man, in addition to paying off the debt, I want to ask you about something."

The most familiar place for Li Yinguang in Mambach Town is the slum, and the most well-informed place in the slum is undoubtedly this 'black heart shop'.

"Ask what!" Zhou Shanren took the monocle from the counter and put it on his face.

Monocular glasses are the kind that are only half of normal glasses on the bridge of the nose, and there are long chains on the sides. It is generally a noble ornament.

But obscene old man, no, Zhou Shanren doesn't violate the harmony when he wears it.

Facing Li Yinguang's eyes, Zhou Shanren's mustache turned up, and said proudly: "The frame made of pure Mithril, the lens polished by the crystal stone, and the slender gold chain forged by the goblin craftsman, with only my monocle, I can change the four 'Z3 type' smelting furnaces on the 'Castle'." ”

Li Yinguang's pupils contracted, and then he smiled: "Then you are really hidden, boy, I wonder, how can a person like you who has both taste and family background want to live in a place like a slum?" ”

"Aren't slums bad? This monocle was mortgaged to the old man by the people in the slums, and only a little money and a bag of food were exchanged, do you calculate how much I earned? ”

Zhou Shanren squinted his eyes and shook his head: "Come on, hurry up and say what you want to inquire, the old man doesn't have time to rub his mouth with you here." ”

"Who in the town of Manbach can fix the 'Z3' melting furnace, well, I'm asking the cheapest place." Li Yinguang said.

Zhou Shanren didn't answer, but dragged him to a more private space at the back of the store, and asked in a low voice, "You were able to escape last night because you used some kind of 'super power source', right?" ”

After Kuroda Shota came back, he spread propaganda all over the world, for fear that outsiders would not know, Li Yinguang knew that he couldn't hide it if he wanted to, and generously admitted: "Yes, a 'mysterious gem' was used to triple the speed of the 'Castle'." ”

Zhou Shanren's little eyes flashed with a thief's light, and he asked greedily, "Where are the gems?" ”

"Broken!"

"Broken?"

Li Yinguang shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile: "Three of the four 'Z3-type' smelting furnaces on the 'Ancient Castle' Iron Armor City have been broken, and the remaining one is almost scrapped, and after running for half the night, the gems are not broken and can still remain?" ”

Zhou Shanren nodded thoughtfully, and asked curiously, "Where does the 'Mysterious Gem' come from?" ”

"Old Dick plundered it a few years ago, and it has been hidden, if it weren't for the urgency of the situation last night, I'm afraid I wouldn't have taken it out." Li Yinguang shook his head and said half-truthfully.

In this regard, Zhou Shanren didn't ask, just squinted his eyes and smiled: "Old Dick's reputation, everyone has heard of it, greedy for money, lustful, treacherous and suspicious, he accepted you as a righteous son for no reason, and also sold the weapon 'cannon' on the 'Castle', and purchased a large number of alchemy materials and potions related to 'Seizure', what is there in it, I don't need to elaborate on it, right?" Tell me, old Dick is really dead! ”

When he spoke, his half-squinted eyes kept staring at Li Yinguang's face.

"Dead!"

Li Yinguang smiled and said, "Do you always think I'm a fool?" ”

Zhou Shanren raised his head and smiled: "You kid is like a monkey, how can you be a fool!" “

Li Yinguang spread his hands and said helplessly: "Yes, but there are people who have to treat me as a fool and want to take me away, don't you say it's funny!" ”

"Alas!"

Zhou Shanren took off the monocle on the bridge of his nose, put it on the corner of his mouth and wiped it with a sigh of breath and said: "There are indeed fewer and fewer fools, the maintenance of scrapped smelting furnaces is meaningless, sell them, each one can be worth two hundred silver bull coins, the new Z3 smelting furnace, each four thousand silver bull coins looks like it, if you want to buy it, I can help you contact you." ”

The Silver Bull is a common currency in the surrounding area, especially in the Mambach region, with a silver content of 57%, a nickel content of 25%, and the rest of metals such as copper and iron.

"Four thousand silver bulls?" Li Yinguang smacked his tongue, you must know that he sold the treasures that Old Dick had treasured over the years, and only then did he get a thousand silver cows.

Zhou Shanren raised his head, squinted his eyes and smiled, and said, "In the entire town of Mambach, the price of the Z3 smelting furnace should be the cheapest. ”

Li Yinguang thought for a while and asked, "What about the Z2 smelting furnace?" ”

"About three thousand two hundred silver bull coins!"

The overall difference is not much, because in addition to the volume, the power of the Z3 furnace is not much higher than that of the Z2 furnace.

Li Yinguang thought about it, spread his hands and said: "OK, the three scrapped Z3 smelting furnaces in the Castle Iron City have been sold to you, but you have to give me a thousand silver cows!" ”

Zhou Shanren hesitated, raised the monocle in his hand above his head, and muttered: "For the sake of this glasses, a thousand silver cows are a thousand silver cows, and I don't care about you." ”

Li Yinguang: "......"
