Chapter 4 Tai Sword and Tinker

After putting on new clothes, I felt extremely refreshed and at ease. The pattern on my left arm was also firmly covered by the newly bought bandage. Looking at the happy girl spinning happily beside me, I felt a feeling that I had never experienced before. A sense of solidity permeated my heart.

This is life.

I exchanged the remaining money for a higher denomination at the bank and counted four gold coins, twelve silver coins and two copper coins in total - this was more than all my belongings had been stolen.

Listening to the crunching sound in the money bag, I fell into reflection.

All along, I have ruthlessly ignored the copper coins and materials dropped by the low-level monsters I destroyed. Only a small number of silver coins and slightly valuable rare materials can really attract my attention.

This is one of the main reasons why I am so poor.

In comparison, Phoenix does this very well.

No, it's great.

It's so good that it's outrageous.

The hard shell of the Beetle Monster and the hardened tentacles of the Beetle Monster are reasonable. These things can be used as additives to increase the hardness of the equipment.

The goblin nails and the cavities of the ghost-faced maggots can barely make some nasty decorations that are loved by the rich.

But I just can’t figure out what the use of that disgusting, sticky slime snot is. Would anyone like to use it to cook some dark dishes?

But Phoenix's view on this is unique.

She told me that after drying, this stuff will condense into a strong block that is difficult to separate. It can act as an adhesive to repair some broken old furniture like new.

Look, this little girl knows how to run a house. She will definitely be a good wife in the future.

I was already thinking about when to push her down and take her down.

Passing by a weapons repair shop, I thought of the scarred sword on my back. I had forgotten the last time it was repaired, and I felt filled with guilt.

"I need to repair the weapon. You go to the cafe and wait for me. I'll be back in a while."

I took out three gold coins from my pocket and handed them to Phoenix's little hand. I asked her worriedly: "Put them away properly so they don't get stolen again. Do you understand?"

Phoenix nodded seriously, turned around, and ran away happily.

I looked helplessly at the leaving figure of this very nervous girl and sighed deeply.

Go into the weapons repair shop.

The boss is a goblin with a profiteer face. No matter who he looks at, he always has a sly smile. Coupled with his black wig parted in the middle, he looks very much like the "Taijun" in the movie. 'The traitor who kept shouting.

His height barely reached my waist. He crossed his hands and placed them on his abdomen, pretending to have a very enthusiastic expression, but anyone who saw it could clearly tell that this was definitely not sincere.

It seemed that he saw that I was a poor boy with little money in his pocket, and his eyes unconsciously showed contempt and discrimination.

Although I saw all this, I didn't intend to argue with him.

The purpose of my coming here is not to listen to his false flattery, but to repair the dilapidated sword on my back.

The moment he took the sword, I could deeply feel his unusual excitement.

"This is a weapons repair shop, not a junk recycling bin!"

He finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and roared at me.

"But it is indeed a weapon."

I replied innocently.

"You call this a weapon?"

The green face of the goblin boss became even greener: "This is simply an old piece of scrap metal with a tachi handle!"

"You actually called it a weapon!"

Looking at the angry expression of the goblin boss, I was really worried that his middle-parted wig would fall off.

In fact, I quite understand those repairmen who repair weapons. It is difficult to raise the repair price without saying that a weapon is useless.

So from the beginning to the end, I listened to him yelling at me with a smile, and occasionally nodded to express my understanding and support for him.

The boss finally stopped jumping or scolding. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out a small bottle from his loose robe with trembling hands, and unscrewed the cap of the small bottle with great effort. He poured out two red pills, raised his neck, swallowed the pills into his mouth, then picked up the cup filled with cold boiled water, swallowed the pills, and then sat down on the chair. on, breathing hard.

Looking at his green and blue face, I silently nodded in my heart.

In order to raise the repair price, he really tried his best and used all his skills.

His acting skills are as good as those of a movie star. If he were on Earth, he would have won ten or eight Academy Awards for Best Actor.

But these are of no use to me. Even if I am a performing artist, I will only have one gold coin, twelve silver coins and two copper coins in my body.

Besides, I only spent four silver coins when I bought this sword. In other words, if the repair cost exceeds the price of four silver coins, I will never accept it.

"Excuse me...how much does it cost to repair?"

I asked cautiously.

The corner of the goblin boss's eye twitched, and he slowly raised his hand, threw the old sword on the counter, pointed at it, and said to me weakly: "Take your things and go out."

ah? ? ?

I didn't understand what the goblin boss meant.

"I tell you to take your 'weapons', leave my store, and never come back again. You are not welcome here!"

The goblin boss used his last bit of strength to roar at me.

I covered my ears with one hand to reduce the noise damage caused by the goblin boss. I picked up the worn-out sword and walked out of the weapon repair shop helplessly.

"Really, I don't know how to treat guests at all" I muttered and walked towards another weapons repair shop.

The door opened with a creak, and a petite and slender dwarf girl poked her head out of the back room and said angrily: "Uncle Patch, why are you shouting so loudly that I can't even sleep?"

"Sorry, Mi Lulu, uncle is too excited."

The goblin boss looked at the dwarf girl with loving eyes.

"It doesn't matter to me. It would be terrible if I wake up Auntie." Mi Lulu said with a worried look: "Auntie's body is still very weak."

The dwarf girl quietly closed the door, looked at the medicine bottles scattered on the counter, and asked doubtfully: "Uncle Patch, why are you doing your old habit again?"

Pammy let out a long sigh, her pale eyebrows twitched a few times, and with anger that had not completely disappeared, she said angrily: "It was a young soldier who asked me to repair a handful of worn-out iron pieces. , and also said that this piece of iron is his weapon, which is simply an insult to my profession!"

Ahem. .

Mi Lulu quickly stroked Pammy's back to help him calm down, while scolding angrily: "It's true, you're excited again."

Waving his hands, Pammy sat up slowly, with a very serious expression on his face, and said: "Looking at the boy's expression, I didn't think he was teasing me, but I was just very angry. The weapon was a risk. How could he be so casual in his choice of weapons for the life of his family!"

"Perhaps he is better at using iron pieces..."

Mi Lulu comforted Pammy and said, "Maybe he has his own difficulties."

I do have my reasons, and I have them now.

So far, I have been kicked out by the owners of ten weapon repair shops. Holding the iron piece in my hand that I always regarded as a tachi, I fell into deep contemplation.

It seems that I was still deceived.

A year ago, on the same street, I met a businessman walking around. At that time, he was dressed very gorgeously, holding a bunch of swords of the same standard in his hands, and waved to me with a mysterious expression on his face: "Little brother, would you like to buy a weapon? It's a hardcover, legendary sword that's sold in bulk. It only costs ten gold coins."

At that time, I was tired of the rude method of beating mobs to death with wooden sticks, and was thinking about whether I should buy a weapon to use, when I happened to meet this guy.

Looking at this guy's sincere expression, I felt a little moved. I searched all over my body for possible money bags, and finally found four silver coins.

I looked at that guy and looked at the four silver coins displayed in my hand. I said to him with some pity, "I won't buy it. I don't have enough money."

Before I took the fifth step, he stopped me with a painful voice. When I turned my head, I saw his face, which had been constipated for many days and was in pain.

"Let's see, little brother, I see that you have fallen in love with me, so I sold you this sword for four silver coins as a way of making a friend."

As he spoke, he reluctantly took out one of the swords and handed it over slowly. I even saw tears in the corners of his eyes.

So, I spent four silver coins to buy this ‘legendary sword’ that was sold in bulk.

When I first started using it, I wasn't very optimistic about this sword because it had a small flaw, that is, its blade was a bit piao.

Yes, it is piao. If you look carefully, you will find that it extends in an arc from the handle to the tip.

This kind of slightly curved knife is generally very elegant when used.

In order to ensure that the trajectory of the Tai Dao would not be too strange, I abandoned the common knife techniques and started the process of creating my own knife techniques.

In order to perfect my own knife skills, it indeed took me a lot of energy and time.

When I used my self-created sword skills for the first time in the dungeon, I was not only shocked by the teammates I teamed up with to kill monsters, but even the monsters I faced showed a look of shock.

Since then, no adventurer has wanted to team up with me.

I asked them why, but they refused to answer me. They just showed an expression of "I don't know him" and left in a hurry.

Later, a kind-hearted adventurer told me that those people were not afraid of death, but they were very afraid of being embarrassed. Every time they saw me using my own knife skills, they wanted to hack me to death. . I always feel like I can’t afford to lose that person. .

That's why I've always been alone.

It wasn’t until later that I met Phoenix, a single-celled, brute-force, innocent, big-breasted lolita who praised me for my good knife skills.

By the way, there's also Xiao Zhi.

Fortunately, it can't speak, but whenever it dares to show a little bit of shame, I will chop it into potato slices mercilessly, and it will definitely be exposed to the light.

That's too far.

The first person who repaired my knife was a smiling old man who was also a traveling businessman.

When I showed him the scarred sword in my hand, the sunny smile on the old man's face disappeared.

While he was sighing and repairing the sword for me, he worriedly asked me about my experience of killing monsters in the dungeon.

When I told him about my homemade knife skills, the old man actually covered his face and started crying.

While crying, he patted me on the shoulder and said to me: "My child, I'm so sorry for you, you didn't even fire your weapon... I really don't know how you hacked those monsters to death..."

Then I suddenly figured out why the monsters in the dungeon whose heads I chopped off died just as badly as the monsters whose heads were hit by wooden sticks.

The old man repaired my knife and left lonely. Before leaving, he didn't forget to wipe his tears on me.

I thought it was reluctance for me.

But since then, the old man has disappeared. Some people say that he became depressed for unknown reasons and changed his career. Others say that he left this sad place and went to other cities.

In any case, I never saw the old man again.

The old man disappeared, and I could no longer find a tinker willing to repair my knife.

Looking at the somewhat incomplete blade, I really miss the old man who repaired my sword and his unforgettable laughter.
