10. A middle-aged man who runs a drink shop
The street that Yi Ming walks on now is called Xingyun Street, and the business on this street is basically controlled by various forces in the northwest corner. Yi Ming walked along the street until the intersection, and to the right was Liushui Street, where Liuyun Sect was located.
There are shops on both sides of the street, but the names of the shops are 'Pawnshop', 'Sin Money Bank', and 'Heart Bookstore'...... Yi Ming heard that money could not be used in the shops on this street, but something special in exchange. In fact, he is interested in all of these, but he will not try things with risks that he cannot control.
The exterior of the shops here has its own unique style, which basically represents the taste of the owner.
The doors of the shops are all open, and some of the furnishings can be seen when you look inside from the outside, but most of them are not visible. When Yi Ming passed by a weapon shop, he could still see some strangely shaped weapons inside, and he didn't know if these weapons had some special functions.
He continued to walk forward, guessing who the people were on this street, and now after learning that there were cultivators in this world and many strange things, Yi Ming was now mentally prepared to accept any situation that was beyond common sense.
"Boy, do you want to go into the store and have a look?"
Yi Ming turned around, and a middle-aged man wearing a hat was standing behind him.
"My shop is a little bit ahead, you and I are destined, maybe I have what you need in my store. The middle-aged man saw Yi Ming turn around and continued.
Yi Ming looked at what he was wearing, this middle-aged man was dressed very casually, even a little sloppy, but there was a kind of banter on his face that was not very easy to detect. This kind of person Yi Ming will generally stay away, because you never know what he is up to.
"No, I don't need anything. Yi Ming said and quickened his pace.
"Why, everybody needs something, at your age, you need money, you need fame and status, or do you need some kind of special ability? there's always something you want. ”
"What if I want something that I don't even know about?" Yi Ming asked.
The middle-aged man smiled. "It's easy, I have a lot of items in the store that I can't even think of. ”
"But I don't have anything in exchange. "Merchants, always have to be profitable.
"You can rest assured about this, I do business, I just need the customer to have integrity, even if there is nothing that can be exchanged now, there will be in the future, even if it is a possibility, it doesn't matter. "The middle-aged man seems quite optimistic.
"Really, what's your pleasure in?" If a person has no actual intentions, then he must have some kind of motivation for self-pleasure.
"Fun, interesting, young man, you seem to be a little different from ordinary people, I have never seen you hide your desires so blindly. ”
"So your pleasure is to understand a person's weak desires?"
"There's nothing wrong with you saying that, how about it? Are you interested now?"
Yi Ming thought about what his weak desires were, but for a moment he found that he didn't even know himself, and he began to take a little interest in this shopkeeper. "Yes, you're interested, but how can you be sure you're not planning some kind of conspiracy?"
The middle-aged man took Yi Ming and quickly arrived in front of his store. It is an ordinary two-story building with an attic, with a vestibule and a backyard, and the yard is planted with trees, lush vegetation, and vine plants on the wall that climb all the way to the roof. It has a very natural atmosphere.
"Judge for yourself whether there is a conspiracy or not, I can only say that it will be able to provide what you want. ”
"Then I'm leaving, you've been selling off, and you haven't mentioned anything practical, I don't think it's better to have much to do. ”
"Eh, wait......" The middle-aged man pressed Yi Ming's shoulder. "Well, I see in you a special possibility. ”
Yi Ming looked back at him and found that he was unusually sincere. "Possibly?"
"Yes, you may not understand it yet. ”
"Then what do you want me to do, what can I gain?" Yi Ming said coldly in a businessman's tone.
The middle-aged man looked at him deeply. "I'll give you a membership, and I'll show you the paperwork after the membership is about it, and you'll understand after reading it. As for what is required of you, just fulfill one of my wishes within your ability. ”
"So you fancy my potential?" Yi Ming asked. Yi Ming thought in his heart what potential he had to look forward to, he felt that the people in this northwest corner should not have any big power, could it be that this middle-aged man knew that he was a disciple of the Liuyun Sect, so he wanted to rely on himself to catch the line of the Liuyun Sect in the future?
Yi Ming analyzed the situation he could think of in his own mind.
"Well, that's pretty much what it means. The middle-aged man glanced at Yi Ming slyly.
Yi Ming felt that it was better to refuse, this kind of unclear thing, the implication of this world was more far-reaching than anyone could have predicted. The middle-aged man didn't wait for Yi Ming to speak, and said again. "You don't have to rush to give an answer, I can show you the membership first. The middle-aged man invited Yi Ming into the room to sit.
Yi Ming hesitated and was pulled closer to the house, but he found that it was a tea shop, but there were many types of drinks in it, and looking at the menu, it seemed that there were various flavors. "What, is it a member of the tea shop?"
The middle-aged man serves a cup of hot coffee. "It's called coffee, don't worry, it's just a little unique, and it won't do any harm. After introducing the coffee, the middle-aged man did not explain Yi Ming's complaints, but went upstairs and took out a stack of documents.
Yi Ming took the document in his hand, there were a lot of words on it, and he couldn't calm down for a while, and the middle-aged man said very knowingly. "You can take it back and look at it, just don't show it to anyone else. ”
Yi Ming, who was treated like this, when he left this drink shop that made him scratch his head, he felt that there might be more strange things in this world than he imagined, but now there was no point in thinking about it, he still went to Liuyun Sect to learn about the situation of the sect according to his expectations.
-----
Inside the Liuyun Inn, there was no one when Yi Ming entered, he walked to the front desk and identified himself. After checking the information, the shopkeeper told him that Zhou Min was still in the inn, so Yi Ming went upstairs and knocked on Zhou Min's door.
"Senior Sister Zhou Min, it's me, Yi Ming, open the door first, I have something to tell you. ”
After a minute or so, the door opened, and Zhou Min stood inside the door expressionlessly. "What's the matter?"
"Did you bother you? Senior Sister Zhou, I'm just a little concerned about the progress of this mission, after all, I am also the executive of this mission. ”
Zhou Min didn't let Yi Ming into the house. "The delivery task has ended, and Mr. Li Yue will be responsible for the rest of the transaction, and when it is over, you will follow back to the sect to complete the task. ”
"Huh, is it so simple?" Yi Ming was a little surprised.
"Yes, if it's okay, you can go first. Zhou Min didn't give Yi Ming any chance to speak.
Yi Ming had no choice but to return to the Red Sleeve Trick in a huff, but now he had nothing to do with the Red Sleeve Move, so he studied the documents he got from the middle-aged man in the dormitory.
This document introduces an organization called 'Demon Drum', the purpose of this organization is to find the 'Chosen One', as for what is the Chosen One, there is another long document to explain in detail, Yi Ming's summary is that people with certain special talents can break through certain limitations after growing up. And then about this restriction, there is another long document as an explanation, this document is not very clear to Yi Ming, because this document tries to explain the form of existence in this world. Because it was difficult to understand for a while, Yi Ming read it as a hunting novel, anyway, there were many such weirdos in Yuyang City, so he didn't take it seriously.
