mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 35
Lose big!

No matter how he calculated it, Zhao Chuanxin felt that he had lost.

In the diary, he lost 1 bottle of stamina potion, 1 bottle of antidote potion, devil vine, and healing leaf!

In reality, he lost a devil vine!

Not to mention that the pocket technology has not been written down, even if it is really successful, it seems that the loss outweighs the gain.

Especially the devil vine, the loss of the devil vine made Zhao Chuanxin extremely heartbroken.

There is no medicine for regret in the world. If you choose him again, he will take other side missions, and you will definitely not take this muddy water.

[I was very annoyed, took out the elf carving knife, and prepared to kill the poisonous firefly that almost killed me to vent my anger. 】

This frightened Zhao Chuanxin and hurriedly stopped him: "I'm just talking out of anger, I won't really do that."

No matter what, keep it for now!
[I went down the mountain with two highly poisonous fireflies, but after tossing around in the middle of the night, I was exhausted and found a safe haven to rest. 】

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to continue, but he didn't want to waste another bottle of stamina potion on this mission.

So, he sighed and closed the diary.

After many experiences of lack of physical strength, he gradually found the knack.If you want to fully recover your strength, you must wait 24 hours.

He stood up, took out the spider legs, and threw them out like he learned in the diary.

brush!
Sure enough, the popped spider legs even had the effect of a sonic boom, and the speed was astonishing.

If someone did this, even a serious martial arts master wouldn't be able to react!

The speed of arm swing, plus the speed of ejection, is too fast, so fast that it is scary!
Try swinging the knife again to make the spider's legs shrink.

The movement is a little stiff and awkward, but it needs practice to prove whether it works well.

Withdrawing the spider legs, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly took out the revolver as a prank, twirled it around with his fingers, and quickly aimed at the front as if to shoot.

The eyes of the peeping children nearby lit up.

Their lack of vocabulary is indescribable, but in short they cannot escape the word "handsome".

Zhao Hongzhi ran over as his nephew: "Uncle, carve me a pistol."

He turned the wheel two more times in his hand and inserted it back into the holster.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the elf carving knife, picked up a piece of wood on the ground, and sawdust flew.Carve a rough outline first, and then gradually modify it.

It didn't take long for the prototype of the revolver to appear.

This is my grandfather, what does it matter if my grandfather wants a wooden pistol?

Zhao Hongzhi held the wooden pistol and turned it like Zhao Chuanxin, but unfortunately he was not proficient, so the wooden pistol flew out directly.

"Play with me for a while!"

"I want to play too!"

When Liu Guigui and the others came back, they pulled a load of cloth.

He came to Zhao Chuanxin: "Who did you ask to do it?"

"There are so many clothes, I want to make them for money. Let my sister-in-law take the lead and find women in the village to train and do needlework. This kind of clothes is different from ordinary clothes."

It’s okay to just do it for himself, so many people, one set for each person, who will be exhausted?

Shirts and jackets are more difficult, but thermal vests and pants are much easier.

Zhao Zhongyi's mother-in-law was very happy when she heard that she could earn money to subsidize the family by doing needlework.

Zhao Zhongyi said to Zhao Chuanxin: "Your sister-in-law has to do it herself. She said that other people in the village are not needed, and those who are clumsy will have to teach them all over again."

Want to eat alone?
How to put it, the vision is still a little narrow.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said: "Don't tell me, we are not a one-shot business. After the insurance team's clothes are ready, they will wear them and go outside every day. The wealthy people in the city will definitely be willing to pay for them if they see them. At that time, it will not be possible to rely on my sister-in-law alone."

Zhao Zhongyi was also reluctant to share the profits, but it was hard to refute, so he had to agree.

Seeing that he still couldn't think about it, Zhao Chuanxin explained again: "Don't just look at the petty profits in front of you. If this business can be carried out, it is not impossible for us to open a clothing store in the city in the future."

Making suits, coats, shirts, and trousers, these crafts cannot be learned by just looking at the clothes in front of your eyes.Opening a clothing store is still profitable.

If Zhao Chuanxin is diligent enough, he can take out whatever is in his head, not to mention making a lot of money, and it will be easy to support his family.It's a pity that he is used to being lazy, and he doesn't want to earn money even if he has money.

Zhao Zhongyi's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Brother, you still have a lot of ideas. We have no experience in running a shop or something."

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly said, "I'll talk about that later."

It's impossible to say what you say, to take the burden on yourself, not even in this life.

Delay Dafa, cure all diseases!
Zhao Zhongyi left.

But in less than two hours, he hurried back again.

"Your sister-in-law said it in the village, but everyone is afraid of losing money and delaying farm work, so everyone is willing to do it."

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you do it or not.But Zhao Chuanxin had to get his capital back.

He thought for a while and said, "Then ask my sister-in-law to tell them that I will pay the wages, and they won't let them work for nothing."

That's fine.

Rural people are unwilling to try new things, and they like to hide their wealth.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin wanted to pay wages, Zhao Zhongyi was a little embarrassed.

Everyone takes advantage of it, and Zhao Chuanxin shoulders the risk himself, which is somewhat unreasonable.

"It's okay, brother, you can go ahead and talk about it. But it's okay, I will pay the wages, and if I make money in the future, the profits will be mine alone, and I won't share them with everyone."

"Should be."

Zhao Zhongyi left cheerfully.

The old lady in the Gaoli family is gone, and after the hasty burial before, there are no relatives.

There is no land to grow here, so I linger around Zhao Chuanxin's place to practice guns and knives all day long.

His hands had thick calluses, and at this moment, he pulled the bolt and fired, his movements were faster and more agile than Zhao Chuanxin's.Blacksmith Guo's shoddy knives were cut off by his stabs.

Wiping off his sweat, he came to Zhao Chuanxin's side and said, "These brats are afraid to come, and nothing happened these days."

"Oh, there will be a big mess soon." Zhao Chuanxin smiled pointedly. "Little Japan and Tsarist Russia will eventually have a war, but the battlefield is in the Liao territory, but our place will be affected to some extent. Those spies who penetrate everywhere, especially those with horse beards and locks, will receive a lot of money and weapons supported by them. Those gangsters are not easy to deal with, with money and guns, they will definitely start to swell, and sooner or later they will come to us head-on."

He is not aimless.

Soon, the Russo-Japanese War will begin.Although the main battlefield is in Liao, the espionage activities in the rear spread throughout the three northeastern provinces.

They supported each other, attacked each other, and destroyed the rear facilities of the army. Of course, there were also many disobedient ones. They took weapons and money to work and did not work hard, and the two countries were half-dead.

However, these locks who got money and weapons caused great damage to the three northeastern provinces.

It is the people at the bottom who suffer in the end.

Of course, Zhao Chuanxin couldn't say anything about it, so he could only make insinuations and conjecture in a tone to prepare the people around him.

"Is it really going to war?" Gao Li showed no fear on her face: "Tsarist Russia, Japanese, and scorpions are not good things. If you mess with us, come and kill one by one. Robbing them is much faster than farming money." gone."

Although these words are a bit dangerous, Zhao Chuanxin cannot deny that in this era, taking wealth by force is indeed the safest and most reliable way.

Is the Niu family property big enough?
But in troubled times, the family business was quickly lost, so that there was no place for them in the future.

Those warlords are full of food.

It is not feasible to do business in a down-to-earth manner, and honest farmers are the targets of bullying by everyone. No matter what they do, they need to be protected by force.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chuanxin became clear.

There are guns and people, and then I still want to farm and do business, yes, that's it.

He applauds his wit.

The next day, after training, Zhao Chuanxin continued to flip through his diary.

[I returned to Sunset Town, went to the registration office, and took out a glass jar containing two poisonous fireflies. 】

[The staff was very surprised: Stranger, you really surprised me.Others will end in failure if they catch one, and what's more, they will die from it.You brought back two.

Cultivation and harvest should be of equal value, stranger, I will give you two qualification certificates, so that you can try your luck twice. 】

Zhao Chuanxin still doesn't quite understand the rules, two qualification certificates, should one be sold?
But he didn't act rashly.

[I took two qualification certificates and stayed in the hotel for one night.The next day, the Treasure Festival of the Temple of Light was held as scheduled. 】

[The Goddess of Radiance Cathedral is crowded with people outside.Enthusiasts from all over the world came as scheduled.There are many long lines entering the cathedral, and you can't see the side at a glance. 】

[I heard them talking about how expensive the tickets are this year, talking about what's going on here. 】

Zhao Chuanxin sighed: Look at what other people do in business, add chicken legs to the event planning!
In this case, even if someone took the treasure, the cathedral would have made a lot of money.

[Just when I was at a loss, I heard that contestants with qualification certificates have a fast track to enter in advance. 】

[I entered the cathedral ahead of time. 】

[The pastor who entertained me last time quickly walked up to me, saw the two qualification certificates in my hand, and said in surprise: Stranger, you actually got two qualification certificates.Goddess of Radiance bless you, you will definitely gain something.Now, I will guide you to fill in the treasures you want to sign up for. 】

[There are too many treasures, I am dazzled.In the list: Goblin's pocket watch, Druid's crow's egg, mechanical book of the steam age, vibranium raw ore from the lost continent, scarlet gem from the Cockscomb Snake Mountains, giant's spinning top, great chemist's chemical reagent tank, finely crafted The rainbow faceted gemstones of the tundra, the precious ice beads on the tundra...]

Zhao Chuanxin was also dazzled.

After more than 200 items, he saw Birdman's pocket technology.And all categories, there are more than 500 kinds.

He finally understood what the two qualification certificates meant.It means that he can add two options to explore two treasures.

[I checked Birdman's pocket technology first, but another qualification certificate made me fall into distress.It turns out that having two qualification certificates is also a helpless thing. 】

Damn, you're still hypocritical, you can pretend better than me?

[At this moment, someone tapped me on the shoulder.I looked back and it was the eccentric inventor.The weirdo said: Stranger, we meet again.You turned out to be a local tyrant with two qualification certificates.I suggest you choose the Demon Crystal in the Blood Wastes. 】
