Chapter 17: Picking Up the Leak
In the following time, Wu Yeyu was not idle, and ran out of the house directly and came to the town.
In other words, since Wu Yeyu came to this world, he really hasn't had a good time shopping, and every time he goes in and out, he passes by in a hurry, and it is a pity to buy things purposefully and leave.
Walking through the lively streets, there are crowds of hawkers, and the town has two main commercial streets, one for stalls, the other for shopkeepers, and some powerful subordinates have also occupied a place here to buy rare items.
Obviously, the former is for some mobile vendors who come and go or people who can't afford to rent a store, in addition to the necessary to sell vegetables and snacks, many mercenaries or mysterious characters will also sell some scattered small things here, generally the materials on the monsters, but most of them have no value, or the number is too small or the spirit is lost, in most cases it is some leftovers.
Of course, there are also some people who understand how to pick out something of hidden value with a pair of shrewd eyes from so many peddlers, and the word "leakage" was born in the other world because of this.
In addition to some of the materials on the monsters, there are also some vendors who will also take advantage of some guys, or have some valuable belongings, but the way is generally not very clean. As for the reason, hehe~ Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there will be no shortage of robberies or roadblocks and robberies in any world, since even when the streets were full of surveillance cameras in the previous life, this kind of thing happened from time to time, then this world of lax supervision will naturally not lack these professions.
Of course, in this town, there will be no such blatant things, because this is the rule, after all, no matter who they are, they all have to eat, and the goods they get must always have a place to shoot, so the unspoken rule of not shooting in the town is also widely spread here. And if anyone eats the bear's heart leopard and dares to break the rules, then someone will naturally deal with it, in addition to maintaining local stability, the government is here to do this, or this also belongs to the category of maintaining stability, under normal circumstances, the government is the biggest force in the local area, and it is naturally very easy to deal with these things. Therefore, anyone who breaks the rules generally does not end well, and this seems to be better than in the previous life... At least as long as it's in town, it's still relatively comfortable.
However, once there are more people coming and going, no matter how good the environment is, it will become mixed, and some petty theft is impossible to avoid, so ordinary people will still retain a little vigilance when they go shopping.
Wu Yeyu was wandering around the street of this mixed stall at this time, looking very leisurely, firstly, because there is storage space, which is a necessary artifact for traversers, and secondly, because he is young, even if he has money on his body, the amount will not be too much, those who steal chickens and dogs generally will not attack this kind of person, after all, the benefit is too small, the risk is too high, once he misses, he is likely to be caught by the street patrol to catch it, and the gain outweighs the loss.
"Rub! I didn't pay much attention to it a few days ago, this place is so lively, it is worthy of being the only way to enter and exit the demon beast forest, how many times have I gone back and forth, I really failed!" Wu Yeyu sighed in his heart and passed by the crowd one after another, while opening his curious eyes, scanning the goods on the stall back and forth, once he found something new, Wu Yeyu would throw off the reconnaissance technique, and ensure that he would see the results immediately, and there was nothing to hide!
Everyone can understand the mind of picking up leaks, because in the previous life, I read a lot of urban literature, and the plots involving leaks abound, but where a protagonist doesn't have a little luck against the sky or has a pair of characteristic eyes, then he will be a little less bold when shopping and picking up stalls. At this time, although Wu Yeyu's eyes are nothing special, they are more direct than them, and the skill is flicked, and the name and function are known, and it is really the best way to pick up the leakage and install 13.
With a heart to pick up leaks, Wu Yeyu set his eyes on one of the stalls, the stall owner was a bearded sloppy middle-aged man, his clothes were torn into strips of cloth, and it was also stained with blood, if it weren't for a giant sword on his back, eighty percent would be regarded as a beggar, but since there is such a guy on his body, it should basically be a mercenary who has just returned from the Demon Beast Forest, and seeing that he didn't even have time to change his clothes, he was either an old fritter who was used to seeing the scene, or he was shy in his pocket, and he was in a hurry to sell the prey that had just arrived, so as to exchange it for some silver and two to buy the lineγ
From Wu Yeyu's immature eyes, "This product should be the former, after all, he is not young, how can he not even have any savings?" And his expression is indifferent, his face is full of wind and frost, and he looks like a person who has experienced wind and rain. He had set a seat for the man in his heart, and then swept his gaze over his stall.
I saw that there were a few stones of different colors on it, a few pieces of copper full of green marks, a small broken corner, two rough animal skins, I don't know what kind of animal Lu Dao is, and a few grass-like things, I don't know if Lu Dao is a medicinal material, but if not, it shouldn't be put on the table by him, right?
And the middle-aged man in tattered clothes obviously noticed Wu Yeyu's stop, and after looking up, he turned away, obviously not paying attention to the little fat man in front of him.
"Rub, since you dare to look down on the master!? With this attitude, it's strange that you can sell things! The customer is God! I don't know how to do such a simple thing, and I still come out to set up a stall? I deserve it for a long time, and there is not even a ghost in front of the stall, retribution!" Wu Yeyu cursed.
However, because of the stall owner's attitude, this kid was obviously also interested in the goods on his stall, so he threw a few reconnaissance techniques at those ore-like things, and the result also made Wu Yeyu scratch his head.
"Ore suspected to be of some kind of metal!"
"It could be some kind of mineral!"
"Initial observation looks like there's something inside!"
......
As a result, after some investigation, the stones and eggs all carried the prefix composed of the words "suspicious", "probable", etc., but they did not directly show the names of animals or plants like in the woods, but were speculative.
"Is the system so fun to play with me about city shopping?
Wu Yeyu, who was still not giving up, squatted down, slowly groped his chin with both hands, and began to throw his skills at other things in the stall.
As a result, Wu Yeyu basically didn't get any useful information, and it was all the kind of uncertain answers. I was speechless for a while, how could I drop the chain at a critical time, what if I failed to pick up the leak at that time? If I fail, I will fail, anyway, I don't have much money on me, so I will pay the tuition fee, but the key is that I will lose face at that time!
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, so Wu Yeyu started the most difficult test on the remaining ones, which was the corner, and just after throwing off a skill, he heard a long-lost sound from the system.
"Ding! Due to the frequent application of the host, the proficiency of the reconnaissance technique has increased to full value, and it has been promoted to the second-level reconnaissance technique!
"Tsk! It's really good news, it seems that the days I spent in the woods were not in vain!" Wu Yeyu touched his thick eyebrows proudly, and it was another reconnaissance technique against the small corner.
Horns of ordinary beasts: The horns of monsters are disguised as monsters by people who are good at forgery, and have no value other than what they look like.
β......β
"I'm rubbing! Your sister actually faked the master?! It turns out that this business is in full swing in the other world!!" Wu Yeyu thought madly in his heart, but there was no big change on the surface, but his face was a little red, and it seemed that his skills were still not deep enough.
Then, Wu Yeyu began to send the reconnaissance skills one by one, and as expected, the things on the stall were basically fake, and what was even more hateful was that the grass-like things were really just grass, and they didn't even bother to do the disguise, wipe! Professional enough, why didn't I see it before...
The only thing worth thinking about in the stall is one of the things that is disguised as ore, which is what the information says.
The ore itself is very much like a stone, but the effect is special and valuable, only the professionals who come into contact with it often can distinguish it, because the counterfeiter thinks it is an ordinary stone, and picks it up to add camouflage, but it makes its original appearance unrecognizable, and there are strange things inside the ore.
"This is really the rhythm of picking up the leaks!Well, no! Be calm, calm, calm!" Wu Yeyu finally suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked left and right indifferently, touched the piece, looked at this piece, as if he was carefully choosing.
At this time, the counterfeit stall owner also spoke in a timely manner: "If you don't buy it, please go elsewhere, don't disturb my business, I only sell to people who understand." β
"Your sister, dare to play tricks with my master, am I like Kaizi!?ah!" cursed in his heart, and tried his best to maintain an indifferent look on his face, in fact, this kind of singing is really not too easy, especially for a young person.
Wu Yeyu pretended to be hurt by his words, as if his self-esteem had been hurt, and he seemed to be so angry that he grabbed the hanging stone that showed that there was a lot of good things in his hand, and then said to the stall owner: "Who said I don't understand! Hmph! I'm choosing which piece to buy!"
And the stall owner was also very cooperative, "Three thousand taels, no two prices!" and then the smug look on his face flashed, and he recovered like lightning as before, if it wasn't for Wu Yeyu's face staring at this goods all the time, he would definitely miss something.
"Well, it's so expensive, but, but, I only have 100 taels, what should I do?" Wu Yeyu had a stunned expression on his face, and then touched his head embarrassedly and said.
"100 taels? No, no, no! How can I buy my ore at this price, at least 1,000 taels!" The stall owner thought to himself, hehe! This time I finally have to make money! It's not in vain that I've been putting up my clothes all morning, and in the end it's still a child's money to make!
"But I really only brought 100 taels, there is no extra money, just this 100 taels or I saved it on weekdays, saving money, because my brother became a blacksmith apprentice, to build a sword, need ore, so I secretly took it out, since I was a child, only my brother loves me the most, let me do everything, but I can't help my brother do anything, I don't want to be like this all the time, so I want to help him buy a better piece of ore, this, this is really all my money. Wu Yeyu's little face showed an aggrieved and longing look, and said.
"That's so?" The stall owner obviously didn't expect this to be the case with the little chubby dun in front of him at this time, a child who took out all his savings to buy ore for his brother, "Alas~ What a kind and good boy!" So as soon as the stall owner gritted his teeth, he was ruthless.
"You dare to come to the street for this little money! Go home and get the money! I can keep this ore for you, and then come and get it after you get the money, this little credibility stall still exists." The stall owner struggled in his heart, and said with a cold face on the surface.
"Well, then, forget it, if I go home and get the money and my mother knows about it, I will definitely be scolded by her, or forget it, I don't think I'm capable of helping my brother. After speaking, Wu Yeyu reluctantly put down the ore in his hand slowly, and then turned around and left with a hint of despair on his face...
After turning around, Wu Yeyu then silently recited in his heart, "One... Two... Three~"
"Little friend, go slowly!"
...
Wu Yeyu couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, and then immediately turned his head with a questioning expression, looked at the stall owner, waiting for him to speak, and the look in his eyes was still so lost.
"Well, this, the Sprinkle family really wants to buy it when they see you, and it's to help their brother, alas~ It's really touching! So, I think, I'll sell this piece of ore to you at a discount of 100 taels. The stall owner endured the inner struggle, and said with a hint of choking in his tone. After finishing speaking, he lowered his head deeply, and then leaned limply against the stone wall behind him, as if these few words had exhausted all the strength of the stall owner.
"Ah, really, uncle, thank you so much! My brother will be very happy to see this piece of ore! I can finally help him! Here you go!" Then I saw Wu Yeyu quickly throw down a hundred taels of silver tickets, grab the piece of ore, and leave with a happy face.
Then I saw the stall owner, and quickly cleaned up the stall, and glanced at Wu Yeyu's cheerful figure, and then resolutely turned around and disappeared into the crowd, no one saw it, when the stall owner turned around, there was a crystal tear slipped out of his eyes, with his deep regret and dazed fall on the street...
