Chapter 463 Scavenger
The next day, morning.
As a province with clouds as its symbol, the sky here always presents a state of clear blue sky. On the clear blue sky are patches of pure white clouds that are either piled up like mountains or fluffy like velvet. It looks pure and clear, empty and far away.
As empty as the sky above is the narrow and remote antique street below.
It is clearly a sunny morning, and the ancient city scenic spot a hundred meters away is already bustling with people, but there are very few tourists walking through this street. It is no exaggeration to say that maybe all the delivery people walking on this street are... Can exceed the handful of tourists.
However, this poor business situation obviously does not interfere with the leisurely mood of the surrounding shop owners. At the door of a tea shop in the middle and back section of the street, Mr. An, wearing a black coat, was leaning leisurely on a rocking chair, while pretending Squinting your eyes, you face the clear blue sky above your head, while enjoying the warm touch brought by the warm sunshine evenly spreading all over your body.
To be honest, the sky above accounts for at least 80% of the reason why he chose to open a shop in this area for retirement.
the above factors.
As people get older, they need to get more sunshine, so that they can feel that there is still some vitality left in this old body.
As for business? He didn't open the store to make money, he just wanted to find something to do, and it would be nice to have some leisure time.
But when it comes to leisure, he is far inferior to the man next to him. Thinking of this, Mr. An on the recliner turned slightly sideways and looked sideways at the gold-plated plaque engraved with the word "furnace" on the upper left.
Compared with his small tea shop that was open every day, this larger weapons and crafts shop can only be described as a casual operation. The opening time of the shop is never fixed, and it never lasts more than a week. Even the phrase "three days to fish and two days to dry the net" can only be said to be an unattainable expectation for him.
‘What kind of business does this boy named Xu do? He is actually more Buddhist than an old man like me. ’
As his thoughts turned, a figure suddenly passed by An Lao's eyes and walked straight into the weapons shop with the open door on the side.
‘Hey, this is the fourth one today. This guy’s business is good. ’
……………
Inside the store, the spacious and atmospheric room is decorated in a simple manner, with various weapons, armors and other utensils scattered in an orderly manner. Some of the blades that have not been sheathed are even colder under the shining golden light, and there is a unique atmosphere. The deadly beauty of cold weapons.
"One bag of rice has to carry several floors, one bag of rice has to carry two floors, one bag of rice... spicy Tiansen!"
Suddenly, a Japanese line that was incompatible with the atmosphere of the store quietly came from the counter not far away, and it quickly attracted the middle-aged customer who had just stepped into the store door.
He paused slightly while looking around, and glanced sideways at the tall figure behind the counter that couldn't even cover the computer screen. His eyes flickered, and then he stepped forward.
"The boss also watches Naruto."
After finishing speaking, Xu Yue poked his head out from behind the computer screen, looked at the tall and well-proportioned customer in front of him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Been a soldier?"
"Haha, the store manager has a good vision. He did spend a few years in the army before, but now... he can be regarded as serving the country."
Without denying it, the customer smiled heartily, and then raised his eyes to look at the eight-sided Han sword on the weapon rack on the right. The Han sword was not sheathed, and the sharp sword body looked like frost and snow under the light, and the blade showed a cold light. When you look closely, you can see the complex inscriptions on the back of the sword are all over the entire sword body. Although I have not used it, but just looking at its shape and appearance from a distance, it is not difficult to see that this is definitely a genuine masterpiece.
"The craftsmanship is good. My name is Wang Chuan. What is the store manager's name?"
"The surname is Xu." Xu Yue replied lightly, pointed to the unsheathed Han sword on the weapon rack, and continued: "You can get started."
"Then I won't be polite."
Before he finished speaking, the Han Sword, which weighed nearly four kilograms, was picked up by the opponent with one hand. After skillfully holding the sword in a flower, his eyes were slightly stern, and then the long sword in his hand suddenly stabbed forward.
The long sword pierced the air, and a bright sword light was seen, followed by a sonorous sword sound that echoed throughout the shop.
With this hand alone, Wang Chuan's skill level is at least Swordsmanship Specialization +10 or above.
"A good sword. Although it does not have an edge, it is very close to ordinary green weapons in terms of strength and toughness. It can be forged with such quality using only ordinary materials in the real world. It is indeed a forging master recognized by the paradise. It is very powerful. "
After briefly feeling the quality of the long sword, Wang Chuan rubbed the thick metal blade of the long sword in his hand while looking sincerely at the tall figure behind the counter.
Their eyes met, and Xu Yue's expression remained calm even after his identity was revealed. As early as the moment the other party stepped into the store, he had roughly guessed the identity of the visitor.
The difference between the auras of contractors and ordinary people is like that of coyotes and lambs. Even if he tries hard to restrain himself, it is still clear to his senses, not to mention the military demeanor that is difficult to conceal in every gesture. Of course, it is also possible that the other party is the same. I never thought of hiding it from the beginning.
Raising his hand to close Naruto that was still playing on the computer screen, Xu Yue raised his eyes and glanced at a certain black button on the other person's coat, and said lightly.
"No more pretending? Let's talk about business then. What do the officials have to do with me?"
"Sorry, just to confirm your identity, let me introduce you again, Wang Chuan, the captain of the 'Planning Bureau for Cleaning Unstable Factors'. Of course, you can also call us scavengers. This is my ID."
"Scavenger?"
After taking the ID handed over by Wang Chuan, Xu Yue simply flipped through it and returned it. The ID of this special department is not very meaningful, and it is impossible to tell whether it is true or false. Compared with this so-called ID, he cares more about how much energy the other party can mobilize.
"Listening to the name of this organization, are you going to clean up these unstable factors like us?"
Xu Yue's tone was gentle, but as he spoke, extremely shallow black mist began to roll faintly on his body surface. In the real world, only active skills are banned, and passive effects such as evil spirit control are not within the scope of prohibition.
On the opposite side, as the black evil spirit leaked slightly, Wang Chuan, who was holding a long sword, suddenly froze. At this moment, he felt that his whole heart seemed to be tightened by a big hand, and even the long sword in his hand became icy and piercing, which made people shudder.
After taking a deep breath, he barely got rid of the strange feeling and quickly explained.
"Unstable factors only refer to those guys who rely on extraordinary power to act recklessly and make illegal profits. Of course, they do not include good citizens like you who operate legally. You can rest assured. We have checked the information in detail. Since entering the country, the owner Xu has basically no criminal record in the country."
"So we are not here to cause trouble this time, just to fulfill some necessary disclosure obligations, and... want to discuss some cooperation matters with you."
"...Say."
Noticing that the cold environment around him quickly warmed up, Wang Chuan felt relieved. He did not care about the cold attitude of the other party, but raised his hand and took out two white documents that had been prepared long ago from his arms, and then took out an identity certificate and a black business card.

"For contractors who are willing to live a stable life, we, the scavengers, absolutely welcome them. This is the most basic notification document. As long as you do not violate the above terms, we will never interfere with Manager Xu's daily life. Instead, we will take the initiative to isolate you from some unnecessary troubles. Of course, if you act recklessly, please believe that we are absolutely determined and confident to fight to the death."
"In addition to the documents, there is also a completely legal and compliant identity certificate, as well as our organization's separate contact information. As long as you are willing to sign the document, the latter two are considered as our organization's greeting gifts."
After patiently listening to Wang Chuan's story, Xu Yue first lowered his eyes to look at the identity certificate on the counter. In the face of national power, it was not difficult to check that he had no identity information in the past. Although it was not stated explicitly, the meaning that the scavengers wanted to express was quite obvious.
That is, they can ignore Xu Yue's abnormality and do not care about his specific identity in the past. The only requirement is that he must abide by the law within this border. Stability is the first order they want to maintain.
Xu Yue had no objection to this. After simply reading the terms and conditions on the notification document, he decisively signed his name in the document.
The document was not a contract produced by the park, and it did not have any binding effect. As Wang Chuan said, they were just fulfilling some necessary notification obligations. As for the significance of signing the document, it could be regarded as a symbol of sincerity that both parties were willing to cooperate.
After signing, Xu Yue threw one of the documents on the counter to the other party. As for the others, he naturally kept them properly. A completely formal identity certificate could solve a lot of unnecessary troubles for him.
"Since the notification is completed, let's talk about your so-called cooperation."
"Ahem, Manager Xu, are you interested in joining us? In terms of sincerity..."
"Not interested!"
Before he finished speaking, he was rejected cleanly. Wang Chuan, who was interrupted, was choked, but he was not disappointed. After the analysis of the psychological team, he had expected this reply.
He flicked the blade in his hand with his fingers, listened to the clear sword sound echoing in his ears, and continued to speak with a smile.
"Since you don't want to join, we won't force you. But if it's just a weapons trade, you probably won't refuse."
"Tell me more."
"You must know that due to the restrictions of the paradise, our equipment can't be brought into the real world. Ordinary firearms are not only generally threatening to most contractors, but also very likely to cause social unrest. So I hope to customize a batch of high-quality weapons and armor from you."
"Secondly, although finished equipment is extremely difficult to bring into the real world, we can still make some props such as ore. I hope you can make it into specific equipment."
After saying that, Wang Chuan looked at Xu Yue opposite with expectation. As an official member, the reason why he was so friendly and even respectful was mainly because of the other party's strong forging ability.
Being able to forge weapons comparable to green quality with ordinary metal materials, the value of this in the real world can be imagined. At least the scavengers of their team have never been qualified to contact this level of forgers in the past. Now they have finally found one in the jurisdiction, and they must seize it firmly.
"Okay, what's the reward?"
"You can rest assured that we can discuss everything, whether it's money and authority in the real world, or paradise coins, information, precious props in Paradise City, etc."
After listening, Xu Yue pondered for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
It's all business anyway, whether it's done in the paradise or in the real world, it makes no difference to him. Since there is an additional business channel, he has no reason to refuse.
“A pleasure to work with.”
“Happy to work with!”
