The three knives Zhang Ping just looked at were each more expensive than the last.
Among them, the price of the Nine-ring Ghost Ax Knife is 500,000 Pearl Coins!
The price of the ghost sickle is 600,000.
The price of the last ‘Han Niang’ is 2 million.
There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in Pearl City, and Zhang Ping does not know how much the awakened people earn.
But according to his research in the past few days, the average farmer's salary in Pearl City is about 3,000 Pearl coins a year, which means that if you want to buy a 'Han Niang', you will have to go without food or drink for more than 666 years.
So expensive.
Zhang Ping sighed slightly in his heart. Although he knew that super equipment was definitely not cheap, he didn't expect it to be so expensive.
"Grandpa, are there any cheaper weapons here?" Zhang Ping then turned around and found that the cheapest weapons cost tens of thousands of pearl coins, so he walked up to the old man and asked softly.
The old man took a puff of cigarette, and after about a minute and a half, he looked at Zhang Ping and slowly said, "What did you say?"
"Grandpa, I'm asking, are there any cheaper weapons here?" Zhang Ping had to ask again.
The old man looked at Zhang Ping, his reaction seemed to be a little slow, and it took him a while to answer the question: "My son is waiting for me to eat."
"..."
Zhang Ping was speechless for a while.
No wonder the previous customers left empty-handed.
At this time, a middle-aged strong man hurriedly walked into the store from outside.
He is estimated to be over thirty years old. He is wearing a tattered camouflage uniform. He has an inverted triangle shape. His arms are thicker than Zhang Ping's thighs. He also carries a rough, dark sword on his back. You can tell at a glance that he is.
A veteran adventurer with rich experience.
"I'm sorry, this store doesn't sell anything for the time being." He put the weapon on his back in the corner, stepped forward and said to Zhang Ping.
When the old man saw the middle-aged man, he shouted dissatisfiedly: "Stinky Fart Qiang, where did you take Dashan to fool around? Where is Dashan?"
"Uncle Liu, why did you open the store again? Didn't I ask you to wait at home? I will find Dashan soon." The man nicknamed "Stinky Fart Qiang" smiled bitterly.
The old man hit Stiffy Qiang's head with a long pipe and said, "You've been fooling around all day, so hurry up and ask Dashan to go home for dinner."
"Okay, Uncle Liu, I'll ask Dashan to go home for dinner later. Let's close the shop and go upstairs first." Stinky Fart agreed repeatedly.
The old man hit the head with the long pipe again and said dissatisfied: "I'm just staying here. What if an old customer comes and can't find me?"
"Okay, okay, we're here, we're not going anywhere." Stinky Fart said with a forced smile.
He is a veteran among adventurers. He has a team of four under him. He has saved a lot of savings over the past ten years, and his livelihood will not be affected if he does not go on missions for several months.
But his teammates are all moonlight tribes. Once they don't go on missions and lose their source of income, their lives will become problematic.
But Uncle Liu is his closest relative, and they share the same love as father and son!
Ever since his good brother Dashan disappeared, Uncle Liu's spirit has become worse day by day. He is often in a trance. He is really worried about leaving Uncle Liu to live here alone.
At this time, he noticed Zhang Ping who was about to leave. Suddenly his eyes lit up and an idea came to his mind.
There is a big difference in temperament between students and people in society.
Anyone who can join the three major organizations will definitely not come here to buy weapons, and those who decide to become farmers will not come here. So does this student want to become an adventurer?
"Little brother, wait." He thought for a while and called Zhang Ping.
Zhang Ping turned around and saw Shoufuqiang approaching, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Let's talk." Stinky Fart forced a flattering smile and said with a smile.
Zhang Ping hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Xiubi Qiang didn't seem to have bad intentions, he nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked outside the store, and Xiangbaiqiang subconsciously took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping waved his hand to indicate that he did not smoke.
"Little brother, you should be graduating soon, right?" Xiubi Qiang reacted, put the cigarette to his ear, and then asked.
Zhang Ping nodded and said, "Almost."
"I wonder what you think of blacksmiths?" Stinky Fart Qiang asked thoughtfully.
Zhang Ping thought of the slightly demented old man and immediately understood the intention of Xiu Piqiang, so he replied: "Better than being a farmer."
"Yes, yes, it's better than being a farmer." Shou Piqiang nodded immediately.
It's not that they look down on farmers.
It’s that the farmers in Pearl City are completely different from the farmers in Zhang Ping’s previous life.
Although Zhang Ping always talked about farming when he and Su Jingyao were having sex, in fact, farmers are not just farming. There are many additional tasks that need to be completed during the slack period.
For example, Pearl City does not have sewers, and it dare not have sewers.
Therefore, people's daily excrement, household garbage, etc. need to be handled by specialized farmers.
There are also tasks such as building roads, mending city walls, raising livestock, etc., all of which require farmers to assist the awakened people to complete.
In Zhang Ping's view, the farmers in Pearl City are actually more like farmers in real-time strategy games. They have to do everything except fight.
"Brother, what do you mean..." Zhang Ping looked at Tie Zhihun, and then looked at Xiubi Qiang with a searching gaze.
Seeing that Zhang Ping understood what he meant, Shoufuqiang said frankly: "I won't hide it from you, that's my uncle, an uncle who is closer than his biological father. His son is my brother Dashan. He disappeared some time ago.
Uncle Liu is a little confused now, so I just want to find someone to take care of him and help look after the store.
Of course, I will come over when I have time on weekdays and teach one or two blacksmiths how to work. I don’t dare to say anything else. At least Bao can become a blacksmith. How about it? Let’s think about it.”
"Food and accommodation included?" Zhang Ping asked thoughtfully.
Stinky Fart responded forcefully: "Not only is food and accommodation included, but there is also a monthly salary of 100 yuan!"
"I'll think about it again and reply tomorrow, okay?" Zhang Ping was a little moved, but at the same time he was also worried.
Could it be that the missing mountain was eaten by Tianchang Fox?
In school, because 'Luo Shiyu' only eats girls, and the other Tianchang fox pretending to be a teacher is rarely encountered, so boys are actually safer in school than outside school.
The main reason why I was excited was because of 'Luo Shiyu''s ward rounds in the morning.
This made him feel very insecure about the dormitory.
"Okay, you should think about it carefully. By the way, you came to the store to get something handy, right? Think of it as making friends. There is something wrong with the atmosphere in the city recently. Please pay attention to yourself." Stinky Fart Qiang said.
Then, he put a dagger into Zhang Ping's hand, then turned and left.
After bidding farewell to Stinky Fart Qiang, Zhang Ping left Iron Soul.
As he walked, he was considering whether to agree or not, and his eyes naturally fell on the dagger.
The blade of the dagger was kept in a fish-skin scabbard. He couldn't help but pull it out and found that the material of the dagger was actually the same as the 'Han Niang'. The blade was white and transparent, faintly exuding a chill.
Good guy.
This is a great gift.
How about...do you agree?
Although the school is relatively safe, it's hard to tell now.
Zhang Ping didn't want to place his life on the chaotic brain of the beast. What if there was something wrong with 'Luo Shiyu' and he wanted to improve the taste?
At this moment, Zhang Ping decided to agree to Shang Piqiang tomorrow.
On the way, Zhang Ping couldn't put it down because the dagger was made of the same material as Han Niang's knife and looked like a part separated from Han Niang's thin knife, so Zhang Ping simply named the dagger "Beauty Tears".
Unfortunately, Pearl Ability Academy does not teach students how to use daggers. The weapons class only teaches knives, swords, and bows, and other weapons are not included in the teaching scope.
Fortunately, some of the moves with the knife can actually be used with a dagger.
As he walked back, he mentally simulated the scene of fighting with Beauty Tears. When he walked through a park, he suddenly found a one-meter-tall Tianchang fox cub sitting on a swing in the park!
[Identification successful]
[Alienated Beast: Tianchang Fox]
[Race: Alienated Fox]
【potential:????】
【Lifespan:53】
[Level: Elementary Altered Beast]
【Level:3】
【talent】
[Cognitive Distortion: You have the position to distort biological cognition and can modify the target's cognition]
[Common sense subversion: When doing behavior that is inconsistent with common sense, you can subvert the target's common sense and force the target to not notice the abnormality]
This is a pretty weak cub.
Zhang Ping walked forward slowly, feeling a little restless.
evidence!
This Tianchang fox is the best evidence.
If he kills the Tenchang Fox and sends the body to the investigation team, maybe things will turn around.
The investigation team is different from the patrol team. The patrol team has a total of thirteen teams, but the team leaders all directly take orders from the patrol team leader.
The investigation team is centered on the captain, and many investigation teams are not in Pearl City all year round, so there must be some teams that have not been infiltrated by Tianchang Fox.
Once the investigation team obtains the body of Tianchanghu, they will immediately deduce the current situation of Pearl City, and Pearl City may be saved.
"Done!"
The more Zhang Ping thought about it, the more excited he became.
He really couldn't stand the fact that girls were being killed in the cafeteria every few days, and he couldn't bear to see Tianchang Fox eating people when he walked on the street.
Especially since he had to pretend not to see it.
He turned around and walked back, placing one hand on the handle of the dagger.
In fact, another reason why he decided to take action was that he happened to have the Tears of Beauty. Without the Tears of Beauty, he might not have had the courage to take action.
This is what is called having a sharp weapon and a murderous intention.
But as soon as he reached the corner of the park, a hand pressed on his shoulder. Before he could fight back, a woman's voice came to his ear: "Don't move."
He felt a chill coming from behind.
Ice!
The opponent is an awakener who has awakened the control of ice element.
Zhang Pingyuan's restless heart quickly calmed down. First of all, the other person was not a Tianchang fox, and secondly, he did not feel murderous intent. If the other person was the bodyguard of the Tianchang fox cub, his current mood would not be right.
"Don't look back, don't talk, take it and leave here." The woman finished speaking calmly and put a piece of paper into Zhang Ping's hand.
Suddenly, Zhang Ping felt the chill in his back disappear.
He didn't look back, but pretended that the thing was lost, looked for it for a while, and then simply left.
"I'm afraid that woman's level is much higher than mine, otherwise she wouldn't be able to find me." He guessed on the road.
It's night now. With the Nightwalker talent and the ability of the assassination ring, there are definitely not many people who can detect him. The woman who can pinpoint him accurately must be much stronger than him.
Of course, it is also possible that the other party has a teammate with the ability to 'see through' who is giving her hints.
Regardless of the possibility, it is very likely that the other party will detect Tianchanghu's infiltration.
"Could it be her or them who are hiring murderous beasts?"
Zhang Ping murmured in his heart. He was not in a hurry to read the note left for him, and simply rested when he returned to the dormitory.
The next day.
Four o'clock in the morning.
Zhang Ping opened his eyes, got out of bed, quietly walked into the bathroom, and sat on the toilet seat.
He took out the note from his pocket and opened it slowly.
The note read: "23, Martial Arts, Nanyue."
Zhang Ping frowned and immediately realized that it was the 19th now, and the 23rd would be in four days.
In other words, the other party means to meet at a place called "Martial Arts" in five days?
But here comes the question, where is the martial arts training?
Zhang Ping thought hard and his head gradually ached.
He knew in his heart that this code was probably to prevent Tian Changhu.
If he falls into the hands of Tian Changhu, the information on the note will not implicate the other party.
If you think about it from this perspective, then martial arts must be something Tian Changhu cannot understand.
Tianchang foxes are intelligent, they know how to think, and they can even pretend, but alienated beasts are alienated beasts, and their way of thinking must be different.
The problem is that Zhang Ping actually traveled back in time not too long ago. Even if he gets the memory of the original owner, he still can’t figure out what the ‘martial arts’ and ‘nanyue’ given by the other party mean.
