Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 34 Honey, I can’t find the money
Tang Zheng’s poor roof was blown off twice within a few days.
The next morning, when some craftsmen who did not know the truth came to repair it, they all cast a kind of inquiring look at Tang Zheng, the new master.
"Ah...啾..." Tang Zheng rubbed his nose.
Last night, sleeping under a roof that had a big hole in it from an assassin's sword, was quite poetic.
Unfortunately, he was not born to be a poetic or picturesque person - he found that he had a cold when he woke up in the morning.
Even in the midst of the difficulties of catching a cold and having a leak, Tang Zheng still insisted on using his star power and took out three pieces of purple gold from his purple gold belt...
"What a great materialistic spirit I have! Ah... jiu..."
It was the first time that Tang Zheng took out a complete piece of purple gold from the purple gold belt and stared at it for a long time.
Three pieces of purple gold weigh thirty kilograms!
Although they didn't look very big, Tang Zheng still felt it was quite tiring to carry them when he put them in his bag.
"Or, we need to quickly increase our star power so that we can use it whenever we want..."
"Or, you need to practice more physical fitness!"
Tang Zheng took down the decadent things on the windowsill and put them away, then he picked up the heavy bag with a grunt of pain and joy.
The craftsmen sent by Tangjiabao this time not only had to repair his house, but also had to reinforce his roof. It was estimated that the entire project would take about four or five days.
It just so happened that he was going to Wulong Town to get his dagger and martial arts, so he simply declined Tang Zixie's suggestion to arrange a temporary residence for him - he was alone, so he could just find an inn in Wulong Town to stay for a few days.
That’s what he thought…
However, Tang Zixie, who was responsible for his safety, didn't think so at all!
He had just been attacked by an assassin last night. Who would dare to let him go out alone?
And, let’s go to Wulong Town!
Tang Zixie immediately ordered the disciples of Tang Family Fort to move...
The driver who drove Tang Zheng's carriage was replaced by a one-star junior family member.
In addition to the carriage that Tang Zheng was riding in, there were two other carriages, one in front and one behind, to escort his travel.
In the carriage in front, Tang Zixie, who has reached the peak of one-star level, is personally in charge!
As for the carriage at the back, Meng Fenghua and Xiao Lingdang were sitting inside it - they said they were going to Wulong Town to buy some snacks.
Be alert all the way...
Tang Zixie escorted them throughout the journey, inspected them along the way, and sent Tang Zheng and his companions to the best "Xinglai Inn" on East Street before going to West Street to do his own things.
However, it was his first time coming to Wulong Town during the day, and Tang Zheng did not go to Jubao Pavilion immediately.
He casually left his bag in the inn and went shopping with Meng Fenghua and Xiao Lingdang.
Candied haws, sugar figurines, various cakes...
After walking halfway through East Street, Xiao Lingling's hands were already full of various snacks.
"Do you need us to stay in Wulong Town for a few more days so that I can help you with the selection of weapons and martial arts?" Meng Fenghua asked Tang Zheng while buying things for Xiao Lingdang.
"That won't work..." Tang Zheng thought it was unrealistic, "If you and I are not here, won't the kids at home make a scene?"
Children as old as Xiao Fengling don’t have to attend classes in the morning during the days when Tang Zheng is away.
If Meng Fenghua wasn't here either, they wouldn't have to attend classes in the afternoon.
A group of naughty kids who don't have to go to class for the whole day can cause incredible destructive power!
Tang Zheng didn't dare to imagine the consequences at all.
Meng Fenghua did not insist: "Then let me say a few more words. Regarding weapons, you have just freed up a star sign, so remember to choose a weapon that can be used at the primary level of one star. Otherwise, using it may cause unnecessary burden and damage to your star veins."
Tang Zheng nodded thoughtfully.
It's the same reason as a level 10 character can't hold a level 20 weapon, so it's not difficult for him to understand.
Meng Fenghua continued: "As for martial arts, it might be a little troublesome..." She thought about it and shook her head again, "No, I should say that your martial arts will be very troublesome."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"Because there are very few martial arts suitable for two stars in one palace! And your sun and moon are also very rare...so, suitable martial arts may be even rarer."
"..." Only then did Tang Zheng realize that he had never thought about this issue!
After the first life palace was lit up, Tang Zheng took out two books from the small book box of "Star Attraction Method" and learned clearly about the two main stars he currently possessed and what effect they had on his star power...
The sun main star brings a stronger expansibility property to the star power. The star power washed by such a main star will be more extensible than the star power washed by other main stars, and will have a greater tendency and power to expand outward.
The changes that the main star of the Moon brings to the star power are exactly the opposite. The star power that has been washed by the main star of the Moon flows more smoothly in the body. If ordinary star power is compared to plasticine, then after the star power of the Moon enters the life palace, the washed star power is like adding some water to the plasticine, making it easier to control.
One focuses on outward power, the other focuses on internal power!
What kind of martial arts would be designed based on such strange attributes?
Therefore, what Meng Fenghua said was still polite.
In fact, his martial arts are not difficult to find, but almost impossible to find!
"Wait for me to go back and bring food to Xiao Lingdang." Tang Zheng touched Xiao Lingdang's head.
"My sister has already bought it for me and you're just saying this now. Are you really wearing it or not?" Little Bell pouted.
"Really!" Tang Zhengxin thought, it's not that I don't want to buy it for you, it's just that I can't get the change at those small stalls!
…
At nightfall, most of the shops on East Street closed early.
Apart from the noise from the drinkers on the first floor, the guest rooms in Xinglai Inn are relatively quiet.
Tang Zheng jumped nimbly from the second-floor window into a back alley and headed towards West Street with ease.
The lights in the Jubao Pavilion are bright.
Huge luminous pearls, inlaid in exquisitely carved crystal lampshades, make the precious goods on every shelf in the Treasure Pavilion even more dazzling.
There is not a single clerk in such a huge Treasure Pavilion.
Ban Yiluo was still sitting behind the counter, holding a delicate little hammer and carefully repairing an exquisite bracelet.
The carvings on the bracelet were bright and dark, deep and shallow. Although the shapes were different, Tang Zheng could still tell at a glance that these carvings were very similar to the carvings on Tian Meng's broken jade soul-sealing pendant.
"What? You've managed to collect the deposit in such a short time?" Ban Yilou didn't even raise his head. "Of course, you can cancel the commission before paying the deposit."
It is absolutely difficult to collect one hundred taels of purple gold in Wulong Town within a month.
What’s more, Tang Zheng hasn’t even waited a month!
Ban Yilou naturally thought that he was here to cancel the commission.
However, there was a "bang" and something appeared on the counter.
Ban Yilou took a deep breath, raised his head, and stopped what he was doing...
Purple gold!
Moreover, it is purple gold of extremely high purity!
Last time, Tang Zheng only brought a small piece of horn, so he didn't have a strong feeling. However, this time, a whole piece of extremely pure purple gold was placed in front of him, and Ban Yiluo's eyes felt a little hot.
His passion was not because of the value of this piece of purple gold.
What he was looking at was the smooth cut of this piece of purple gold!
Purple gold is very soft and very difficult to control when cutting.
The piece of purple gold that Tang Zheng took out was so smooth on all four sides that it didn't look like it was cut by hand - of course, in fact, it was not.
" Can please stop staring at my purple gold with such obscene and lewd eyes?" Tang Zheng knocked on the counter.
"Tsk." The old man rolled his eyes at him, "Your purple gold? It's mine now!"
"How's the work going?" Tang Zheng leaned against the counter.
"You haven't even sent the deposit yet, what are you doing?"
"Really didn't do it?" Tang Zheng laughed.
"Go away, I must be old and confused to agree to your deal." Ban Yilou was completely annoyed with him. "The real foundation will be delivered to me next month."
The most important thing about a true identity badge is the base created by the Seven-Star Caster.
Being able to get this is half the battle!
Tang Zheng curled his lips and smiled: "You haven't finished the base yet? At this rate, can we deliver the goods in three months?"
"It's good enough to get it! The base craftsmanship of the identity nameplate is the secret of Bailianfang... well, although they have too many 'secrets'..." Ban Yilou blew his gray beard and said angrily: "Because of this base, Bailianfang almost pissed me off half to death."
Zijin City and Bailianfang do have a considerable trading volume, and the two sides have the most solid cooperative relationship.
However, Jubao Pavilion is just one of the industries under the name of Zijin City, and it is not at the same level as Bailianfang!
More importantly, the casters in Bailianfang are all notoriously arrogant and conceited. How could they take businessmen seriously?
Ban Yilou felt that he had really worked hard to use the connections of Bailianfang for this identity badge...
"Is there something wrong? If not, please move aside and don't disturb me while I'm working." Ban Yiluo sighed sadly and continued to repair the bracelet in front of him.
"Well... there is something really going on." Tang Zheng took out the small token from his inner pocket.
Last night, the female assassin who attacked had only this dagger-shaped token with a small star engraved on it, in addition to the martial arts book "Blood Shadow Escape Technique".
There was still a lingering smell of blood on the small token.
Ban Yilou's eyes fell on the token, staring at it for a long time, frowning and asking: "Where did you get this thing?"
Tang Zheng almost fell headfirst onto the counter. "Fuck! Can you change your line?"
