A few people walked along the road and saw from afar that there were many stalls on both sides of the road, with shouts coming one after another.
"Take a look at these old books and newspapers. Buy them to entertain yourself. You can even use them to clean your butt after reading. It's a sure win."
"Anyone want to buy a mirror? Combs, toothbrushes, towels, all for sale for cheap."
"Skin care products, do you want any? We also have soap and shampoo."
"Anyone want to buy Go or chess? I can buy a small knife."
There were few people in front of most of the stalls. Occasionally, there were passers-by who would ask about the prices, then shake their heads and leave.
The cheapest of these gadgets costs only one yuan.
One yuan can buy one pound of ordinary rice, and if eaten sparingly, it can feed a family of three for two days.
In contrast, the stalls at the intersection were surrounded by crowds of people. When Chen Fan approached, he found that these people were all here to buy meat.
Liu Yong explained, "These people are all from Songjiabao or nearby villages. They set up stalls here to sell meat. The price is much higher than selling directly to people who buy materials from fierce beasts, but we don't have that much time."
"Yes, otherwise we can exchange some more food for it."
Chen Guodong's tone was full of regret.
“Each has its own advantages.”
Chen Fan smiled, and at this moment, a voice came into his ears.
"Don't miss it if you pass by, the best martial arts secret manuals are on sale! The original price was hundreds or thousands of yuan, but now they are all sold for ten yuan, everything is ten yuan, you can pick whatever you want, everything is sold for ten yuan, you can't lose anything with ten yuan, you can't be cheated with ten yuan. It's truly great value for money, everything is cheap, everything is not expensive, everything is ten yuan, take a look, take a look!"
I saw a thin old man, cheering hard at the people passing by.
But people passing by were too lazy to even look at him.
The old man muttered a few words and sat down again.
"That's him."
Liu Yong pointed at the man and said to Chen Fan.
"Um."
Chen Fan was delighted. In fact, he had seen it without Liu Yong's reminder.
"Dad, Uncle Liu, I'll go over and take a look."
When Gu Ze heard this, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Isn't that old man a liar? What is Chen Fan doing there? Is he waiting to be cheated
"We'll go with you."
Chen Guodong was a little worried.
Several people walked towards that direction.
The old man noticed someone approaching, and when he looked up, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said enthusiastically: "Brothers, what do you want to buy? I have all kinds of skills here, such as Tathagata Palm, Nine Yang Magic Skill, Vajra Indestructible, 72 Ways of Grasping Hands..."
Chen Fan waved his hand, signaling him to stop, and then asked: "How much do you sell this technique for?"
"So it's my little brother?"
The old man was overjoyed.
"They're all ten yuan a copy. Ten yuan in total. If you buy them all at once, I can give you a 20% discount."
When the people around saw this scene, they all shook their heads secretly.
Are these people new here? Why are they still believing what this old liar says
A man nearby couldn't help but say, "Brothers, you'd better look somewhere else."
The old man was so angry when he heard that that he wanted to rush up and bite him hard.
"Thank you brother for the reminder, we just want to take a look." Chen Guodong thanked the man with a smile.
The man shook his head and walked away.
When the others saw this, they stopped talking because the previous groups of people who had been deceived had all said the same thing.
"Brothers, don't listen to what that man says, he is slandering me! You get what you pay for. If you don't believe me, just buy a copy and read it yourself." The old man opened his eyes wide, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Upon hearing this, Chen Guodong and the others sneered in their hearts.
Buy a copy and read it? If you buy a copy, you will be cheated!
Chen Fan nodded slightly. From a certain perspective, you can't say that what the old man said is wrong.
The next moment, he asked tentatively: "Can you let people take a look at your skills before buying them?"
"Yes, of course!"
The old man said without hesitation: "You can read any of these ten or so books of skills, but you can only read a little bit, not too much."
"OK."
Chen Fan agreed readily.
I've been waiting for you to say this.
He squatted down and picked up the nearest copy of Tathagata Palm. Before he even opened the cover, he heard the old man slap his thigh and said excitedly, "Little brother, you have good taste! This Tathagata Palm is said to be a set of peerless martial arts passed down by the Buddha to mortals in order to save all living beings and eliminate disasters. There are ten moves in total, and each move has a unique effect. Not only is it incredibly powerful, but it is also infinitely useful."
"Yeah?"
Chen Fan responded, opened the first page and started reading.
His intuition told him that the martial arts book in his hand, no, the secret books on this stall, were conservatively estimated to be nine out of ten fake and one out of ten real, so it was not impossible that all of them were fake.
"yes."
The old man smiled like a flower, but deep in his eyes, there flashed a hint of deep contempt.
You are a young boy, let alone a fake Tathagata Palm, even if the real one was placed in front of you, you would not be able to tell the difference. However, if you want to see it, I will let you see it.
In fact, just as he thought, Chen Fan felt that the words on it were not only ugly, but also unfamiliar and difficult to recognize.
But it doesn’t matter if he can’t understand it, as long as the system can include it.
Thinking of this, he looked at the skill bar, and there was no change.
“Did I not read enough pages?”
After scanning it once, he turned the page and quickly browsed through the second and third pages.
There was still no change on the skill bar.
"Could it be fake?"
Chen Fan thought to himself.
"Little brother, is that enough?"
The old man said with a smile.
"One more look, one last bit."
Chen Fan pleaded.
"Yeah, let's see a little more, shall we?"
"Don't worry, if we like it, we will definitely buy it for you."
Liu Yong and others behind him said.
"All right."
The old man gritted his teeth, looking as if he had suffered a great loss.
He has been waiting here for more than half a day, two or three days, and no one has taken the bait. Finally a group of suckers have come, and he can't let them get away.
Chen Fan seized the time and read two more pages. He was halfway through, but the skill column in his mind still hadn't changed at all.
He felt that the book in his hand was 90% fake.
"I can't quite understand this one. Why don't you try another one?"
He returned the Tathagata Palm to its original place and picked up a copy of the Nine Yang Divine Art next to it.
"?"
The old man was stunned for a moment. He was about to comfort Chen Fan not to lose heart and to buy the book back to study slowly, but the other party directly replaced it with another one, which was somewhat unconventional.
"cough."
He coughed lightly and said, "Little brother, it's normal that you don't understand it at first glance. Do you know what kind of person can understand it at first glance? A martial arts genius! Only a martial arts genius can understand it at first glance. Ordinary people like us with average talent need to read it over and over again for years before we can understand it. Especially the Nine Yang Magic Skill in your hand, it is a peerless martial arts.
After mastering it, the speed of internal force generation is incredibly fast, and ordinary punches and kicks can also be used with great power. It can also defend against external attacks, and it is immune to all diseases and poisons. Hey, little brother, this is too much, you have almost turned over half of it. "
