Chapter 44 Preparations before climbing the Pillar of Heaven(1/2)
The daily business of the Lufang Weapon Shop is still deserted.
When the store door was pushed open, the sales girl Fran showed a business smile. When she saw that it was Alien who walked into the store, her smile became even stronger.
"Hey, little brother, are you here to pick up the goods?" Fran took out the packaged goods from under the stand, "The bullets you ordered have a lot of spare materials. Dad also helped you get a dozen more bullets for free.
In addition, there are 'special items' you want inside, there are only two of them, but they are absolutely powerful, so be careful when using them."
"Thank you." Alion put away the goods and chatted casually, "How is daddy?"
"My body is fine, but my brain is going to rot. Really, when you get old, you can't listen to other people's advice. I finally managed to contact a chamber of commerce to win a big business, but my father had a falling out with the people there.
It’s gone.” Fran pressed his head and sighed.
"What's going on?"
"Hey, the Chamber of Commerce has imported a batch of factory-produced weapons from Mycenae, and wants Dad to 'process' them a little to change their appearance, then enchant them and sell them at a high price. The old man's mind is as stubborn as a stone. After hearing the whole story
Finally, there was nothing left to do."
"Isn't this considered commodity fraud?"
"Oh, brother, how can you say that? This is, this is... By the way, are you ready to go out after ordering so many bullets?"
Alion didn't notice Fran changing the subject, he smiled and answered.
"No, I'm going to climb the Pillar of Heaven."
……
……
Carrying the equipment and whistling, Alien strolled through the streets of Xinhongm and slowly returned to the guild.
After training (beating) for half a month, Nina finally announced in the morning that the basic coaching training could come to an end. Alion almost knelt down on the spot - because of happiness and gratitude.
In the past half month, he had been beaten by Nina in various ways. Every time he felt that he had mastered a new technique, he was just one step away from turning the slave into a master, and then he was kicked back again.
Origin.
Okay, then keep getting beaten.
The maid will not let the slave turn over.
During the beating, Alien also learned how to study more efficiently.
Utilize the skill bullet time.
The essence of bullet time is to speed up his thinking speed, so when he has nothing to do, he turns on bullet time to recall and analyze the observed movements of Nina.
He prides himself on having a good memory.
The result was like watching the video over and over again, and then analyzing and imitating it by yourself. This was similar to the videos he used to learn fighting skills online. When his thinking speed increased, he even felt that his thinking ability and calculation amount increased -
—Of course, he is still not sure whether this part is affected by the transformation of the body by the fragments of divine power.
Returning to the guild, I met Sasha head-on.
When the two of them unexpectedly looked at each other, Alien snapped his fingers in an exaggerated manner and pointed at Sasha with both hands frivolously.
"Hey, Princess Sasha, are you in a good mood today?"
Sasha naturally showed a disgusted expression at this, snorted and turned her head, ignored Alien, and walked away.
Alien was in a good mood after teasing Sasha again.
In the corridor on the first floor, I met Nina dragging Liuli who had fallen to the ground and pulled her out of the basement.
Not long ago, Alion found out the number of people in the fringe guild and how many people lived in the villa.
Counting Alien, the Edge Guild currently has a total of eleven people, which is the size of a small to medium guild - the mysterious president, Albert, Nina, Finn, Gina, Sasha, Shiloh, Liuli, Le, and Haro.<
/p>
Among them, the president is missing, and Le and Harrow recently went to the Thirteen Federations, and Alion has not seen them yet.
Most people in the guild do not live in villas. Although Alion has not experienced a social work environment in his original world, he fully understands the employees' reluctance to live in the company.
Albert lives on the third floor of the villa, Shiloh and the temporary resident Sasha are on the second floor, Alien, Haro and Nina live on the first floor. There are three areas in the basement, and Liuli lives in one of them.
"Hey, Master." Alien greeted Nina.
After a few days of experimentation, he found that when he called Nina master, she would be slightly gentler than other times.
If kowtowing and kneeling had no practical effect, he would perform the apprenticeship ceremony first every day.
"Hey, why did you come out of the room?" Alien looked at Liuli lying on the ground.
Although she whimpered aggrievedly, Nina did not relent.
"When you go to the Pillar of Heaven tomorrow, you can bring her with you." Nina pointed to Liuli on the ground, "She hasn't been out for a month."
It’s only been a month.
Alien and Liuli complained at the same time in their hearts. When their eyes accidentally came into contact, they immediately understood each other's meaning in each other's eyes.
"I personally have no objections." Alien said firmly, "But the Pillar of Heaven is in danger, she is still a child."
"She is older than us." Nina said.
——Is this true?
——I'm not, I haven't! I'm still a baby.
Nina ignored the eye contact between the two, "Her power has been getting out of control recently. Proper actual combat can help her master her power."
She tilted her head and added, "That's what Albert said anyway."
——Yes, your guardian said so.
——Think of a solution quickly!
"I originally planned to climb alone, so it doesn't matter if I take one person with me." Alien touched his chin, "Does Liuli have fighting ability? What level of adventurer is she?"
"I don't, I'm just a salted fish." Liuli's face turned from lying on the ground, looking pitiful, weak and helpless.
"Same level as you." Nina responded, "But stronger than you."
——What are you driving for? Oh, you are a dragon.
——I’m just a salted fish baby!
Liuli used Leap on the ground! Nothing happened.
At Nina's request, Alien could only take Liuli out to prepare for climbing the Pillar of Heaven tomorrow - mainly to purchase some equipment.
After the two left, Sasha walked out from the corner of the corridor, stopped Nina, and asked them what they were talking about before with a nonchalant expression.
Nina told the truth.
"What? You said that guy will climb the Pillar of Heaven tomorrow!" Sasha asked in surprise.
"Don't worry." Nina patted Sa Sha on the shoulder, "Liu Li will go with him too."
Hearing this, Sasha took a deep breath and then roared gracefully.
"That makes people even more worried!"
……
……
I just came back not long ago and I have to go out again.
Alien is also desperate.
The desperate two walked tiredly and laggingly on the streets of Xinhongmu.
"Let's make an appointment. You have to bow your head under the roof of others." Alien persuaded Liuli beside him.
"Oh." Liuli responded, "What's for dinner?"
"Are you rich? It costs money to buy equipment and eat. I have a store that I can recommend to you for equipment. Maybe they will give you a discount for my sake."
Alien thought about Fran's appearance as a profiteer, so it should be easy to negotiate a kickback with her.
"You can help me advance the payment first, and then go back to my room to get it. I have a lot of gold nuggets on the floor."
"Just put it on the ground?"
"You can sleep more soundly this way." Liuli thought for a while, "But didn't Nina give you money just now? Wasn't that for me to use for dinner?"
"You are wrong. How could such a thing happen?" Alion denied, then changed the subject, "What other abilities do you have besides breathing fire?"
"I am stronger than the average person." Liuli rolled up her arms, showing off her unrippled biceps. Her slender hands seemed like they would break if she bent them casually.
But Arion doesn't judge books by their appearance. In such a world with extraordinary power, it is dangerous to make random judgments based on past common sense. What's more, considering that Liuli claims to have the blood of a dragon, it is not surprising even for a girl with strange powers.<
/p>
"Then the backpack and everything else will be handed over to you," Alion said.
"Oh, okay."
Before going to the Lufang weapons store, the two of them went to visit the old market street.
