Chapter 2 Guns and Mobile Phones
Usually when the card repairer concentrates on repairing the card, it is the most relaxed moment for the apprentice.

Duke is going to walk around the store and think of ways to make money.

Bobby and Thomas, two apprentices at the next station, followed the card repairer to concentrate on repairing cards, quietly hid in a corner, and began to share their candy with each other.

Duke isn't that boring.

He looked around the small Sam Shuka shop, and Bob, the regular worker, was taking care of the counter.There are four repair stations in the repair area, one for each of the three card repairers, and a spare No. [-] station, which is usually used by the boss himself.

But the boss didn't come today, and went to the waste card station in the city to find goods.

"How do you make money?"

He frowned, feeling a little helpless.

As a traveler, he naturally has a lot of earth knowledge in his mind, but when it comes time to use it, he finds it is useless.Iron smelting, brick burning, and distilled wine are the basics in this world, and products such as soap, glass, and perfume are not uncommon. As for high-tech computers, mobile phones, etc., there is no such thing, but Duke can't make them either.

He looked out of the warehouse window.

Across the low bungalow area, you can see towering chimneys in the distance, billowing black smoke, surrounded by unknown birds, swooping down from time to time to peck at the rising spirituality.

If a beast wants to evolve into a spirit beast, it must prey on a large number of spirits.

"That's the Black Snake Lingjin Smelter, an industry owned by the Black Snake family. It extracts spiritual metals from iron ore...the pollution is really high." Duke looked at it from the perspective of an earthling, and the factory was simply unbearable. It is better than a poisonous gas factory, but the entire Sheshou Town is the fiefdom of the Black Snake family, and no one dares to control it no matter how polluted it is.

Or rather, no one cares.

The Seven Towers Federation has no concept of environmental protection. The current mainstream thinking is to develop the spiritual energy industry, strengthen human power, and continue to explore the wild jungle.

"Spiritual energy...spirituality...extraordinary world!"

Duke showed a hint of eagerness in his eyes, and passed through the initial panic. Now he is eager to appreciate the magnificent scenery that he has never seen before in this extraordinary world.

of course.

To appreciate the extraordinary, the premise is to open the spiritual sea, otherwise he can only live as an ordinary person at the bottom of society.

"It seems that there are no good inventions that can get money quickly... Well, gunpowder!" Duke had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good idea, "The Seven Towers Federation is an alliance of arcanists, and arcanists represent this world The extraordinary power system—spiritual arcana, so black powder has never been born.”

People who live here believe that the land under their feet has unparalleled spirituality.

It is this kind of spirituality that endows all living things in the wild continent with powerful and extraordinary power, and builds a set of "spiritual mystery" power system.

Gather spirituality and refine it into psionic energy.

It is this spiritual energy, which is more miraculous than electricity, that has triggered a mighty industrial boom.

"A powerful arcanist can destroy the world, so the value of black powder must be far less than that on earth, but black powder is still very useful. I can try to make black powder in the extraordinary world!"

He recalled in his mind that it seemed that the ratio of black powder was one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoals.

After staying like this until the noon break, he hurriedly finished his boxed lunch, then walked quickly to another street, and then turned into a wide alley.It is full of shops selling all kinds of materials, from spiritual materials to ordinary materials.

Ask around.

Duke frowned deeply: "Saltpeter, a material that can grow in toilets, is sold for 1 silver dragon per catty, and sulfur is 30 copper dragons per gram, which is faster than stealing money!"

If you want to configure black powder, you don't know how many times you have to experiment.

Enough materials for multiple experiments, the value of which has already exceeded 23 Silver Dragon's Awakening Potion: "With this money, I would have bought the Awakening Potion a long time ago... By the way, why don't I go to the toilet to scrape the saltpeter?"

When one plan failed, Duke made another plan.

A catty of saltpeter can be sold for 1 silver dragon, so he can definitely scrape the saltpeter to save money. Although going to the toilet to scrape the saltpeter is a bit of a pain, the money is obviously faster than the apprenticeship.

However, after running through multiple sewage toilets in a row, Duke returned to Little Sam's repair shop with a disappointed expression.

Those toilets are dirty enough, but there is no saltpeter like the imagined hoarfrost at the bottom of the walls, only all kinds of yellowish urine and feces stains, which make people sick to the stomach.

"Why is there no saltpetre?"

"Did someone scrape it away? Probably not. There are no scratches on the wall... Could it be that the toilets in Sheshou Town are built with stones instead of soil?"

In his memory, saltpeter was the president of the soil latrines in the countryside.

Perhaps something in the soil reacted with the urine to form saltpeter, but after replacing it with stones, it could not react, so no saltpeter could grow.

In short.

The idea of ​​making money by scraping toilet saltpeter was shattered.

I didn’t think of a good way to make money until I got off work at night. When I got home, I cooked white rice and steamed sausages. I was so shy that I only had this food at home.

On the card machine interface of the Lingfan pot, the light of the Chu Ling card inserted has dimmed.

"If we don't get any more money, I'm afraid we won't even be able to use our psychic energy." Duke sighed, and took out a spirit card with a slightly damaged cover from his pocket, dazed.

This is his spirit dragon card.

Equivalent to a bank card on Earth, the Dragon Coin issued by the Seven Towers Federation is inconvenient to trade, so the arcane masters have developed the Spirit Dragon Card, which only needs to be swiped to buy and sell.

"The balance seems to be 57 copper dragons left, it's miserable!"

"However, this kind of spirit card is really miraculous." Duke put away his negative emotions and began to divert his attention, focusing on the spirit dragon card in his hand and the spirit storage card inserted in the spirit rice pot.

Both cards are spirit cards.

To seal the spirituality in the form of an energy circuit, and then transfer it to a card for storage, this is the technical principle of the Spirit Card.

The spirit storage card stores a large amount of stable spiritual energy, and the spirit dragon card is directly connected to the bank. These magical spirit cards are just the simplest technology under the spiritual arcane system.

"This is the extraordinary power that I can touch. If I don't open the spiritual sea, this is probably the only extraordinary power I can touch."

"The spiritual sea must be opened as soon as possible!"

Eat, wash dishes, no night life, sleep.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Duke fell asleep in the hope of the future.

……

vaguely.

Duke felt himself drifting into a starry place.

There are many stars, infinitely wide, and the surroundings are dark, like the deep sea.

"It's here, I'm back!" Duke's thinking became clear, he already understood that he was in a dream, "Same as last night, I came to the spiritual sea again through the dream."

He looked towards the direction where the starlight was most intense.

There are two star-like eyeballs surrounded by stars, and when Duke leaps closer, one can see that one of them is shaped like a mobile phone, and the other is shaped like a pistol.

"My golden finger!"

"wait for me!"
