At the front desk of the trading hall, Chen Xian found the staff who were in charge of selling commodities at the fair.
It was an abnormal life in the form of a male human being, about two meters three in height, as thin as a bamboo pole, as if it would fall down when blown by the wind, its shriveled face was like a yellow drawing paper, and the dense wrinkles made people feel a little uncomfortable .
"Hello, please show me the evil weapon at booth 421, I want to buy it."
The thin and tall staff member was still busy in front of the computer. When he heard Chen Xian's voice, he raised his head and looked. When he saw clearly who was standing in front of the counter, his expressionless face instantly became tense up.
"You... Hello!" The staff hurriedly got up, speaking in a flustered tone, "You're talking about the evil weapon at booth 421, right?! I'll go get it now and show it to you!"
"Excuse me, thank you." Chen Xian nodded with a polite smile on his face.
Chen Xian knows that his reputation is not small, especially after the Jiuling Mountain incident, both aliens and abnormal beings have become extremely afraid of him, but there is one thing he does not know, maybe he has never realized it ... The staff in Yin City have been afraid of him a long time ago, and it can even be said that they are more afraid of him than ordinary abnormal beings.
Everyone in Yinshi knows the master.
Of course, it can also be said that nearly 90% of the abnormal beings in the country know the existence of "Master". For the senior who can intimidate the heroes with his hands and eyes, these abnormal beings respect and fear him, but there is one thing that cannot be denied. Compared with most of the "predecessors", people feel much more cordial, perhaps this is also related to Ge Ci's personality.
If you say hit, you can hit, if you say scold, you can scold.
Alone has a gangster air that cannot be concealed, but he also has a mentality that many older generations do not have. At least he will not always put on airs to make people think that he is high and unattainable.
From a certain point of view, Ge Ci, the old liar, is very down-to-earth. It seems that no matter how many years pass by, he can't get rid of the smell of fireworks on his body. He is easy-going and approachable, which is also the impression that many Yinshi employees have on him... But there is one thing, the old liar treats people well No matter how unassuming he is, he will always keep a certain distance from others, even with his closest subordinates.
Of course, this kind of alienation does not make people feel disgusted, because that feeling is very abstract, not because the old liar Ge Ci will alienate others in everything, like... It seems that no one can get into his heart, forever All separated from him by an invisible curtain.
The life of the old liar is full of joy, and he seems to be able to spend every day year after year laughing and cursing, but those who can see him often feel a strange and complicated feeling from him. Emotions, like some kind of downfall that is hard to describe in words... It seems that he is not as happy as outsiders see.
As time goes by, more and more people in Yinshi are familiar with "Master", and more and more people know that the old liar is actually quite lonely. He is not a living human being, but he has the same characteristics as ordinary human beings. His level of life shouldn't have the emotions that these "weak people" have, but... that kind of desolation and loneliness like a widowed old man really made his subordinates feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
This kind of emotion hidden under Ge Ci's smiling face will only disappear when someone appears, and it disappears so thoroughly as if it has never appeared before.
The person who can affect Ge Ci's mood... is Chen Xian.
Although the internal members of the Yin City, like other abnormal beings, have instinctive fear and vigilance towards Chen Xian, the reaction of the old liar Ge Ci made them have another kind of affection for Chen Xian, just like A target object that should be sincerely thanked, sometimes when Chen Xian does not come to Yinshi for ten days and half a month, they will still pray in their hearts that Chen Xian will come quickly...
"Hello! This is the evil weapon from booth 421! A stranger in a rainy night!"
The tall and thin staff quickly took the long umbrella, but it was not bare-handed when holding the umbrella, but was wearing a pair of rubber gloves with many talismans printed on it. It seemed that they were temporarily blocked by this kind of gloves. The influence of evil weapons on them.
Chen Xian thanked him, then took the long umbrella and looked at it carefully.
The umbrella handle and the umbrella bone seem to be one, and the whole body is made of some unknown wood. It feels warm and moist like jade, as if it has been carefully polished and polished by the producer, and it can still reflect a clear silhouette under the light.
But soon, Chen Xian discovered something different about this long umbrella.
Its rib is actually different from ordinary umbrellas. It is as wide as a thumb. There is a faint black line about fifteen centimeters above the umbrella handle. You can feel a kind of unevenness when you touch it carefully.
It seems that the black line is concave, like a hidden dividing line.
"Mr. Chen, this is actually a knife." The staff reminded in a low voice.
"Knife?"
Chen Xian was taken aback, and realized something instantly, then held the umbrella handle and rotated it gently, only feeling that the umbrella handle and the umbrella bone seemed to be separated, and the black line was the boundary between them.
There seems to be some kind of gravitational pull between the umbrella rib and the umbrella handle, as if the two sections are equipped with magnets. That strange sense of adsorption made Chen Xian more curious, and saw him holding the umbrella handle and slowly pulling it out forcefully …
Accompanied by the clear and clear sound of unsheathing, the blade attached behind the umbrella handle instantly caught Chen Xian's eyes.
The scarlet blade is covered with cloud-like black spots. The blade is one meter long but only as wide as an index finger, and its thickness is about the same as ordinary chopsticks. It looks like a slender steel sheet as a whole.
The flexibility is not enough, but the rigidity is more than enough. When you fiddle with the blade lightly, you can still hear the beeping of metal tremors.
"What kind of metal is this made of?" Chen Xian played with the umbrella knife, and there was a rare kind of excitement in his eyes like a child getting a toy.
I have to say that the craftsmanship of this knife is very exquisite, holding it in the hand is like a work of art, and every detail of the knife body and umbrella handle is so exquisite that it is no exaggeration to describe it as natural.
If the first impression of a meat saw knife is that it is violent and strangely ferocious, then the first impression that this umbrella knife left on Chen Xian is a certain kind of quiet elegance, which can be felt from the bottom of his bones without making a fuss. The nobility that comes out is like an ancient gentleman walking in a rainy night. Even though the heavy rain is pouring and the wind is raging, it will not affect his unhurried pace in the slightest.
"The specific production materials... We are still unable to determine." The staff returned to their positions and skillfully searched the records of this umbrella knife on the computer, "From the archives, this evil weapon should be the original The master brought it back to China from Liverpool, but he gave us very little information, he only mentioned that the quality of this knife is very good, and the blade is so sharp that it can cut gold and jade."
"That's it..." Chen Xian frowned, put the umbrella knife back into the scabbard, and played with it for a while before returning it to the staff, "Is this the reserve price?"
"Yes, it's a low price. The discounted price is 1,800 yuan." The staff member nodded and took the long umbrella carefully.
"How much discount did you give it?" Chen Xian asked with some pain.
The staff glanced at the computer screen and said, "20% off."
"Two discounts... two discounts?" Chen Xian's eyes lit up, and the pain in his flesh was instantly washed away by the word "two discounts", "Are there any other benefits besides the discounted price?" ? Like small gifts or something?"
"...not this one." The corner of the staff's mouth twitched. It was also the first time it met someone who wanted a small gift at a trade fair, but after thinking about it, Chen Xian was not someone else, and his identity was still very important in Yinshi Special, so he said, "We can provide you with knife maintenance services for free."
"How many years?" Chen Xian asked meticulously.
"Lifetime." The staff replied.
After getting this answer, Chen Xian heaved a sigh of relief, and his expression became somewhat satisfied.
"If you think the price is expensive, I can help you find a way, after all, the master..."
"No need." Chen Xian interrupted the staff, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, "Although I like cheap things, I don't like to take advantage of them often... I can afford this price, so I will take care of my friends' business." gone."
With that said, Chen Xian took out the bank card distributed by the Bureau of Secrets from his wallet and handed it to the staff.
"I didn't have time to go to the bank to change the double coin, can I trouble you to get it for me?"
"No problem, no problem! Leave this to me!"
The staff member said hurriedly, then glanced at the long umbrella in his hand, and asked, "Do you need me to wrap it for you?"
"The bag, according to the packaging standard of a birthday gift, remember to tie a nice bow for me on it."
"Okay! Just wait a moment! I'm going now!"
About five or six minutes later, the staff came back with the wrapped long umbrella and bank card, handed them to Chen Xian respectfully, and issued him a series of evil weapon purchase certificates according to the rules, etc. …
When Chen Xian came back to the crowd with a long umbrella in a gift box, they had almost visited the market.
"Boss, you are back!" Lu Yisheng said excitedly, his eyes sparkling, "I just found an item that suits my heart! The price is not too expensive! I am going to buy it!"
"Buy it, the discount is quite strong, and you won't suffer a loss if you buy it now."
Chen Xian walked while talking, and the long gift box was hidden behind him.
When he walked in front of Mr. Skull, Chen Xian stopped and a smile appeared on his face.
"Chen Xian, what is behind you?" Mr. Skeleton is much taller than Chen Xian, so he can see the gift box hidden behind his back at a glance.
Seeing it, he discovered this "well-prepared" surprise at a glance. Chen Xian couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, because he felt that he had hidden it well enough.
Chen Xian took the gift box in front of him helplessly, and handed it to Mr. Skeleton.
"What?" Mr. Skeleton asked curiously. After receiving the gift box, he was not in a hurry to open it. Instead, he observed the paper packaging box with interest, "Eat?"
Chen Xian sighed, nodded and said.
"Yes, the food is full of oranges I bought for you."
