Chapter 4 The Favorite Leakage Plot
Randolph Street Market is the largest second-hand market in Phoenix, with more than 800 stalls and a market full of antiques, second-hand goods and handicrafts, attracting countless shopping enthusiasts, many of whom have come all the way from the neighboring Golden Branch.
After parking the car and paying the $10 entrance fee, Luke followed the flow of scavengers and walked slowly into the market gate, wandering leisurely, observing the stalls on both sides of the street. He was more interested in some ancient artworks, especially cold weapons such as swords, but after visiting dozens of stalls, he didn't find a few similar items, and under closer inspection, Goldfinger did not react, indicating that it was an ordinary mundane item that did not contain supernatural abilities.
Although he had already thought that supernatural items were not so easy to obtain, he still felt a sense of disappointment in his heart, and seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Luke decided to visit a few more stalls and leave to eat.
As he walked aimlessly, a stall in front of him caught his attention. The stall owner is a stout middle-aged black aunt, and her front is full of makeup tables, makeup mirrors, full-length mirrors and other items, which are very dazzling. Remembering that mirrors have always been a regular in supernatural works, Luke walked over and took a closer look.
After taking a closer look, none of the mirrors triggered Goldfinger's reaction, and Luke shook his head in disappointment and was about to turn away. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that there was something unusual about a comb in the stall, so he squatted down and picked it up.
Seeing this, the aunt on the opposite side introduced: "This is a horn comb, the quality is very good, it has the effect of maintaining the scalp, it is very comfortable to comb my hair with it, I used to use it every day." We're going to move after a while, and we don't want to take these messy Dongzi with us, so we pack them all up and sell them in the second-hand market. ”
Luke nodded to the stall owner's aunt as he checked the message from Goldfinger:
【Bald Seven Arrows Comb】
A hair is tied to the seventh tooth counted from the handle, and every morning at seven o'clock in the morning and seven o'clock in the evening, the comb is wrapped in paper full of numbers and burned. After seven days, the curse takes effect, and the owner of the hair will gradually lose his head within a month; If the seven-day curse ritual is repeated after a month, the cursed person will lose all their hair.
(A comb from a middle-aged accountant who bought a horn comb that was said to be scalp care in an attempt to save his hair, but after three months, he no longer needed it.) An angry bald accountant threw the comb downstairs. )
......
Ahh
It's true that it's a supernatural item, but why is there always a feeling of disgust?
After a fierce psychological struggle, Luke decided to buy it. After all, it is a supernatural item that has been discovered for the first time, and even if the eggs are not used, they have a certain commemorative significance.
Besides, you can also use it to curse the people you hate.
He looked up and asked.
Items in the second-hand market are generally cheap, and the black aunt offered it for only $3, but Luke didn't bother to haggle the price, so he paid for the comb and took it, and then continued shopping.
Perhaps the luck of finding the supernatural object this time was not exhausted, and after a while, he found another anomalous object, which was a blue clay pot, and the identification ability gave information:
【Indian Scalp Jar】
Absorbs when turned on
(The clay pot containing more than ten Indian scalps has undergone a miraculous change after the baptism of the years, and there seems to be a voice of grievances wailing inside)
Curious, Luke inquired about the origin of the pot, but the stall owner said he didn't know either. He is an interest-driven warehouse treasure hunter, running around the major warehouses in the United States, photographing those warehouses that have been forgotten, and then opening them to see if it is the surprise of getting rich overnight or the fright of losing all his money, mainly to enjoy the thrill of opening a blind box.
In his free time during treasure hunting, he would set up a stall in the second-hand market in the city where the warehouse was located, selling items of unrecognizable value found in the warehouse. This clay pot was found in a storage warehouse in Phoenix that no one had renewed for more than ten years, and he didn't find much valuable anything in this warehouse, and he couldn't hear what was inside when the jar shook it, so he used it as a blind box to sell.
Compared with the "bald seven arrow comb", the things in this stall are generally more expensive, and the price is generally between 10 and 20 dollars. For Luke, the price was relatively acceptable, so he bought the clay pot for $15.
After buying the clay pot, it was getting late, and Luke's stomach began to rumble in protest, and he turned around and walked towards the market exit.
Eager to check the specific function of the [Indian Scalp Jar], Luke hurriedly packed a portion of spicy chicken wings and returned home, locking the door with chicken wings in his mouth and drawing the curtains to prevent the contents of the scalp jar from absorbing the contents of the scalp jar and causing a big movement to attract neighbors.
When everything was ready, he took out the clay pot, cut the sealed kraft paper with a paper cutter, and unscrewed the jar stopper.
I don't know how long it has been since I saw the light of day for a long time, there was a rotten and disgusting smell coming from inside the clay pot, and the ability seedlings inside his mind were also instantly activated, and a message was transmitted to his mind: "Discover the life energy, whether to absorb it."
Luke, of course, chose to absorb.
After confirming, a great gravitational force suddenly came out of the ability seedlings in his mind, swallowing the wisps of black gas that appeared at the bottom of the clay pot.
The [XP] in the personal status bar has been slightly increased, to 13% at level 1.
At the same time, a leaf on the seedling is generated, and a new skill slowly appears:
【Indian Fighting Stick Technique】:
The Stick Fighting Technique extracted and fused from the remnants of the 13 Indian Warriors greatly increases the proficiency of the Indian Stick, and can be attached with psionic energy to add Thunder Fire attribute damage to the Stick.
Perhaps it was because of the first skill to use supernatural energy, a stream of cool energy flowed out of the void in his mind, entrenched in the dantian on the center of his eyebrows. Luke naturally understood how to attach this energy to weapons.
There is a quietly added attribute [Psionic Energy]: 70 in the panel.
This special energy is named psionic by the panel, and the total amount is determined by the strength of the soul.
As his skills were generated, fragments of memories of some Indians using "war sticks" to exercise, fight, and kill enemies kept coming to his mind. Luke also gradually learned what kind of weapon the so-called "Indian baton" was.
Early Indian war sticks were made of using leather cords to tie stones to wooden sticks, creating weapons similar to the shape of ancient Chinese gourd hammers, characterized by a heavier tip, which could use inertia to produce powerful blows. Due to the low metallurgical capacity, metal-made hammer-type weapons have not been formed. However, the relative advantage is that the overall light of the battle stick is convenient and flexible to use.
As the white settlers continued to explore, trade, and invade the North American plains, the thunderous sound of the musket and the burst of fireworks strongly shocked the local natives, and the animistic Indians believed that the use of this "war stick" would bring the power of thunder and fire to crush the enemy.
A few Indian tribes obtained some smoothbore guns as weapons through trade exchange or war, but because they could not make gunpowder and lead bullet, after the ammunition was exhausted, they could only be used as melee weapons, holding the barrel upside down and striking the enemy with the butt. Because of the right size, length, and durability (as opposed to sticks tied to stones), many Native American warriors thought, "Hey, this thing is much better than a stick to hit people's heads."
The Indian warriors fused the use of the butt with other supernatural fighting techniques of the time, and over time developed and evolved, forming the "Indian Fighting Stick Technique" that Luke learned.
Good news, learned the oldest gun fighting technique in North America.
The bad news is that gunfighting doesn't include how to aim and shoot.
Luke felt his newfound skill for a moment, and the memory of the barrel of the gun in his mind made his hands itch a little, and he always wanted to knock something.
In addition, the psionic attachment technique attached to the skill also allowed him to learn a true supernatural ability and have the capital to fight against spirits. Meet Sarah again. Barron's miscellaneous fish resentful spirit, one stick and one is not a dream.
It was getting late, school started tomorrow, Luke did some exercises to warm up, found a stick casually and familiarized himself with the use of the Lower Indian War Stick, especially the way of spiritual energy attached, and fell asleep with peace of mind.
