The man in the back was a bearded old man. www.biquge.info His face was flat and round, like a big potato, and even the old age spots on his face were like pits on the potatoes, densely packed.

Speaking of potatoes, it's been a long time since I've eaten this fresh ingredient in autumn. I remember when I was a child, my grandmother used to grow potatoes at home, and it took a lot of effort to grow one or two shriveled potatoes after a long time. Then he ate a meal of potato soup. It was a fresh sensation filled with the smell of the earth, and it had a different feeling from digitally synthesized food. It's a pity that the cost performance of this ingredient is too low, and everyone has become accustomed to synthetic food. Not only is it nutritious, but it is also very fast to synthesize, and it can be operated as long as it is assembled with civilian hedrons. It's just that after eating too much, people's imagination of taste is completely imprisoned.

It's like dating a beautiful woman who has undergone plastic surgery, although the other party is very charming, but when you think that the beauty is artificial, and represents only the aesthetics of a certain genre, it is difficult to rise to the kind of surprise created by nature.

Although the old man in front of him is a creature of nature, it is clear that this is a failed work. Even when I was young, I am afraid that this was the same frustration.

The old man's voice was hoarse, and his accent was different from the standard pronunciation of Hot Spring City, and it was said that he was more than a hundred years old, and he was a monster who lived from the old era to the new era. The things he was wearing were also out of place with his surroundings, and he had bought them before the Big Bang.

Everyone called him Old Shovel because he always carried a shovel on his back, shoveled a shovel in the scrap recycling station, and then found something valuable to sell. After all, he's just an old scavenger.

But for Autumn, this old man is very important, because he is the connector of the hedron to get rid of it.

The old man would pay for the hedron in Autumn's hand and resell it on the black market.

In this way, the autumn will turn the spar into money. There is no need to go to the black market in person to contact, which avoids the risk of violating the law.

The black market has always existed, and it is illegal. Federal law specifies that private individuals are not allowed to trade spars. If you find a spare, you can use it yourself or sell it to the government, but the government's bid is not so ideal. No matter what kind of spar, the guide price given by the government is the same, and it is purchased according to the lowest order of spar. This is what gives the black market a breeding ground.

But the government has turned a blind eye to the black market, seemingly acquiescing to its existence.

In the black market, there will be a special appraiser to determine the utility and grade of the hedron, and then contact the buyer, if there are multiple buyers interested in buying, there will be some competition, so that the price will be more ideal.

But in the autumn, he had to spend time on martial arts cultivation, and he didn't have time to take care of the trading of recovered crystals. That's why he teamed up with the old shovel.

Hearing the old shovel's inquiry, Autumn turned his head and smiled coldly, just piling up his facial muscles, which was already a very friendly expression to him.

"There are a lot of people here, so I'll go back to you and say. ”

"You've got the big guy?"

The old shovel is old, but his eyes are very poisonous, and any spar in his hand can always distinguish a noble and a low, and this subtle change in expression in autumn naturally can't escape his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't understand the use of mental power at all, Qiu had no doubt that this spar expert would become a great martial arts master.

In this era, the use of spars has greatly improved the conversion efficiency of mental power, and whoever can have a good spar can become a master of martial arts.

Just as he was thinking this, the old shovel's hoarse voice came again: "Don't be superstitious about the spade, only your own strength is the most reliable." ”

This is the most pertinent admonition given to him by the old shovel as a person who has crossed the two eras of the old and new eras.

At the end of the old era, the theory of mental power had been proposed, but it was only an unpopular technology. People are keen to operate various devices powered by miniature nuclear reactors. Nuclear energy is a clean new energy source, extremely efficient, and accessible to everyone, far more efficient than mental energy, which is a troublesome thing that requires one's own ability. At that time, no one paid any attention to this newly proposed theory, until the Big Bang was created.

The Federal Republic of East Turkey was founded as five cities floating above the ruins, and since the founding of the country, the upper echelons have banned the use of any nuclear energy reactors and promoted the use of mental energy.

The famous quote of the Founding Speaker was widely circulated: "There is no more reliable energy than the energy it provides!"

This sentence is regarded as a classic, and almost all the first lessons of Mongolian children after entering school begin with this sentence.

Human beings need to trust themselves, even if mental strength creates inequality between people, and the advantages of the strong over the weak. But it's better than a time bomb to bury hidden dangers.

Nuclear energy has been flipped over the side of the history books, and people have forgotten it in the corner.

Humanity has begun a new chapter in its search for the source of its own strength.

And the old shovel believes that the spar is also an alien energy.

No one knows how the hedron is created, only that there is a vein in the Golden Stone City. The veins are controlled and mined by the federal government. After mining, it will be sent to the research institute for research and processing. The effect of each spar is different, and there is no one in the world that is exactly the same. But there are grades of spars, just like diamonds. No one has mastered the synthesis method of the spar, this secret has not even been mastered by the federal government, only the five major families of the republic know the secret, the five major families are originally the families inherited by the five sages who saved the world, and they each mastered a part of the secret of the spar developed by humans before the big bang, but it has not been made public. But this is also reasonable, if everyone can make top-grade spars, then the world will not be chaotic.

The old shovel has a deep study of the spar, he can judge the grade of the spar from the shape, the utility of the spar from the color, and the degree of wear and tear of the spar from the weight, he is an encyclopedia of spar. However, in the eyes of outsiders, he is just a poor old man scavenging. It was only in autumn, by chance, that I realized the other side of the old shovel.

The old shovel also knew that Autumn was a warrior, and when Autumn was young, he was already a warrior. It's an innate talent. The old shovel didn't grasp the subtlety of mobilizing his mind until he stepped into the coffin with one foot, but Xiao Qiu was already a warrior. This is the gap, the gap that makes people laugh and cry.

The old shovel is alone, and the autumn is also alone, and the two often mix together.

The old shovel used to say, "Rely on your own strength, not on the hedron." ”

Therefore, in the heart of the warrior in the autumn, there has been no spar embedded in it, and he only fights with his mental strength.

However, his mental strength has always been in a primary state and has never improved. It's something you can't ask for. Many martial artists spend their entire lives, that is, at the beginning. Martial arts masters are not so easy to be.

After two hours, the wind outside had stopped, and the hail had finished.
