Chapter 16 Take advantage?

Xiao Yichen did not notice the words of the man, and was completely immersed in his discovery of the shield. He disassembled the lining in the shield in two seconds. Seeing that the two strips of metal were still hanging in the hole that was poked open, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately! Although the shield surface is broken, the material is still there, otherwise it would be troublesome. Well, judging from the size and strength of these two holes, it should be done by Dali Manbull, right?"

The big man stared at him and said for a long time: "Can you see this... you can see it?"

Xiao Yichen replied casually: "What can't be seen? However, although this powerful manglobe has a horn known as the hardest in the world, it is just a third-level monster after all. If you hadn't destroyed the operation of the original formation when repairing this shield, you would definitely not have looked like this."

Hum? The big man was shocked again, and after holding it in for a long time, he asked again: "You mean, if this shield is new, can it block the impact of Dali Manniu?"

Xiao Yichen chuckled and said, "Of course it is impossible to resist completely, but at most it is just adding two small holes. It is impossible to hurt people. Well, judging from these traces, you have repaired this shield five or six times, right?"

The big man nodded and wanted to say something, but finally he held it back, just staring at Xiao Yichen with a belated look.

Xiao Yichen continued to observe for a while, looked up and smiled, "Fortunately, the previous repair did not damage the essence, at least these materials have not been lost. Let me calculate it. A piece of fifth-level fine iron, ten gold. Wind blade tortoise shell and Chixiao Jade were not lost. It is not necessary, but the repair of the formation is more troublesome, and it may not be able to recover to its original level. It is better to push it down and start over again. In this case... Well, if you can supply materials, twenty gold coins! If you want me to pack the materials, fifty gold coins, three days! How about it?"

The man was a little confused at first, but when he heard him calculate the materials, he was a little shocked. Finally, he heard the price time he mentioned, and his face was full of surprise. He stepped up and approached Xiao Yichen and shouted loudly: "Are you serious? It's it? It's still possible to repair it?"

Xiao Yichen was puzzled: "Of course it can be repaired... What do you mean? If you didn't repair it, are you showing off? Are you playing tricks on me?"

The big man quickly shook his hand: "No, no, no, I don't mean that, they all said... Hi! Why did I say this? As long as you can repair it, you are my Han Dong's benefactor! You tell me, what materials do you need? I'll find it now!"

Xiao Yichen didn't pay attention to Xiao Shitou's constipation expression next to him, and directly pulled paper and pen to make a list: two gold, earth, and wind attribute magic crystals, one spirit-devouring fruit, one blood feathered goose leg bone, and one shiny green fox tail... More than twenty kinds of them were blooming. After thinking about it, he added several materials such as Yuhua and Spirit-devouring Grass to the back.

The big man took it and saw that except for the magic crystal at the top, each of them asked for one gold coin, the rest of the things were almost all worthless things. Although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask too much. He grabbed the order and was anxious: "I'll go to Evergreen City to buy materials, and I'll arrive tomorrow morning!"

When Xiao Yichen saw him like this, he was amused: "Don't be so anxious, right? You should have just come down from the battlefield. It's better to have a rest for a night, or ask someone to buy it. All weapons and equipment are for people. If you hurt your body for these external objects, you'll put the cart before the horse."

The big man grinned, and his half-dead appearance since he entered the shop was swept away in this smile. Instead, he was replaced by a bright smile. He didn't say anything, held the order tightly in his palm, turned his head and went out, leaving the door with a loud noise.

Damn! It turns out that there is a six-legged wildebeest, and he is still a rich master. No wonder he is so arrogant! Xiao Yichen smacked his lips and said, "This kid is so sinister. He pretends to be poor and gains sympathy. If he had known that he had wildebeest, he would have collected at least thirty gold coins!" When he turned his head and saw Xiao Shitou, he leaned against the wall: "By the way, when this kid sends the materials back tomorrow, let my father or uncle sixth or uncle ninth, take time to do this job. No matter how small the mosquito legs are, it will be flesh!"

Xiao Shitou's eyes were so wide that he could fall out, and his words were unscrupulous: "Young Master, are you asking the master and the others to repair this?"

Xiao Yichen was a little surprised: "What do you mean? You want to do it yourself? That's fine! Don't mess up and ruin our name."

I'm here? Xiao Shitou can really cry out: "Okay, my young master, you really... you've caused a big disaster!"

Xiao Yichen thought about it and felt a little over again, but he still couldn't believe it. He asked tentatively: "You don't want to tell me that no one in our family can do this job, right?"

Xiao Shitou opened his mouth and sighed for a long time: "I should have thought of it long ago... Master, you don't think about it. If our family could repair this, wouldn't it have been a long time since we started to use weapons? How could we live so poor!"

Xiao Yichen curled his lips. Some people can't do such things that cannot be used as a countertop? So what's the point of this blacksmith shop in the town? If it were put in "Chaos", it would have been optimized by resources! However, in this world, there are a large number of civilians who need daily utensils, hoes, kitchen knives, etc. Although it is not very profitable, the only shop in the town can support it.

No wonder such a big shop can only maintain the income of one gold coin a day. After working on it for a long time, no one can even know the most basic weapon skills! This kind of thing is simply surprising.

Holding her laughter, Xiao Yichen said, "I thought there were no mercenaries in our town before if I didn't use weapons..." Seeing Xiao Shitou's face getting darker and darker, he patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry! If they can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't do it! Young Master, I am from the academy!"

When Xiao Shitou heard this, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, the young master is a graduate of the college, and he can see his recent achievements. Wait, it’s not right, those things are understandable, but I haven’t heard that the college can teach irons. So where did he learn to use weapons? Well, when the young master just said that shield, those words didn’t seem to be something that an outsider could say, and he also offered a price and a material list. If he was not sure, could he do that? So, the young master does have the skills to repair weapons and equipment?

After only a while, Xiao Shitou's mood seemed to be on a seesaw, with a turbulent ups and downs, his face was blue and white, and a red glow could fly out from time to time.

Xiao Yichen was a little funny and suddenly remembered something: "Since no one in the family can practice it, and you don't know that I can practice it, why do you want me to come out?"

Xiao Shitou explained with a bitter face: "My good young master! He is not here to repair it at all, he is here to sell shields!"

What's the thing? Xiao Yichen was surprised: "That good thing, even if it's all broken, the materials are worth a lot of money. He came to our small shop, didn't he deliberately want to tear it down?"

Good guy, let alone anything else, in the 200 kilograms, there must be at least 100 kilograms of wind blade tortoise shell and 80 kilograms of Chixiao jade. The most valuable fifth-level fine iron in the Xiao family shop is just a supporting role! How much does it cost? Without 500 gold coins, don't even think about it! If this is the Xiao family shop that was placed before it became rich, how can it be paid?

Xiao Shitou smiled bitterly again: "What's the solution? The empire has regulations that the iron shop has the obligation to recycle weapons and equipment. However, equipment like him that has lost the value of maintenance will be given up to ten or eight gold coins and will be given away..."

What, what? Xiao Yichen almost jumped up: "What did you say? Losing the value of repair? Ten and eight gold coins?"

Xiao Shitou spread his hands: "That's right! If it weren't for the loss of the maintenance value, who would have sent the equipment to the shop? Besides, look at the appearance of this shield, it has obviously been repaired six times, which has exceeded the maximum number of repairs. I have grown up so old, and I have never heard of anyone's weapons and equipment that can be repaired for the seventh time!"

Oh my god! What is this saying? Xiao Yichen was distressed. In the virtual world, all the skills were used to be the same as the world today. This has been confirmed by him. He did not doubt his ability, but felt that he seemed to have taken the initiative to be a sucker. This understanding made him very angry, who thought he was smart. What? That guy looked quite kind, but he chose a big leak for brother! I knew that this kid was here to sell, and even one hundred gold coins, he also accepted it! No wonder that kid looked like he was dead at first, but later he heard that he could practice and immediately turned into a wife. This time he was really a big loss!

Think again, let’s count it! My brother is a kind person and cannot use other people’s ignorance to show his intelligence, right? It’s really a bit difficult to talk about technology with a group of people who can’t even understand repairs and renovations. Well, let this left-handed man take advantage and take the opportunity to make friends. If he doesn’t believe that such a big favor, he dares to pretend to be a dead person! As the saying goes, there are many friends, and that guy is still a mercenary, and sooner or later he can use it!

However, what's the matter with this blacksmith shop's obligation to recycle used equipment and weapons? If this happens, everyone will sell broken weapons, and the blacksmiths in this world can only repair and not renovate them, so why don't they lose their lives?

I asked Xiao Shitou again, it was true! Xiao Family Shop has already paid a lot of money in this regard over the years. Unfortunately, the regulations for the iron shop to recycle weapons are just a means of subsidy by the Empire to the Warriors. The shop that recycles waste can also hand over these things to the logistics department of the Imperial Team to recover the losses. It is just strange that Xiao Family Shop has indeed recycled a lot of things over the years, but has never seen Xiao Tie transport these things to Evergreen City for money, and I don’t know why.

Xiao Shitou brought Xiao Yichen to the innermost room in the warehouse and pushed the door: "It's here. Although I have received fewer and fewer things in recent years, our family has never handed over since the flag hanging, so we have saved a lot."

Looking at the pile of waste products that were one person tall in the middle of the room, Xiao Shitou shook his head and sighed. Xiao Yichen, who had been in this place for the first time, was in a completely different mood. He wanted to shout a few words. Fortunately, my brother turned out that I had practiced it, otherwise I would have been fooled by you? Grandma's life skills are good, and there is money everywhere, haha, I've posted this time! My brother's workshop can finally be opened!
