Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

When digging for treasure, the most indispensable thing is a shovel.

Most of the tools made by Uncle Da are used as weapons or related to mining.

If you want to find a shovel, you can only buy it from Uncle Kuang, another blacksmith in Mingyue Village.

After John got the news from Uncle Da, for some reason, he had to find several villagers before he asked about Uncle Kuang's location.

The houses in Mingyue Village are built close to each other, so there are many alleys and corners.

It seemed that the distance was less than one kilometer, but with all the twists and turns in the alleyways, it was impossible to stop even five kilometers.

However, relying on their persistence for the treasure, the two finally came to the home of Uncle Kuang, who was said by the villagers to be somewhat mysterious and eccentric.

At a glance, Uncle Kuang's home is obviously not as wealthy as other villagers' homes in Mingyue Village, but it is indeed the only one with a house number.

"No. 98, Xixiang Road, the house number is correct."

Brother Zhan came forward and took a closer look at the wooden sign tied with a lock-like iron chain. Black ink-like writing was clearly engraved on it, and it seemed to be an old object.

"This is it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man wearing a bunt walking out of the main room and dragging a basket of iron pieces to the third room on the side.

It's just that the man looked weak and weak, not like someone wielding a sledgehammer at all.

"Are you Uncle Kuang? Uncle Da introduced us to buy farm tools from you."

Uncle Kuang was not interested in the two of them. Even though he noticed their presence out of the corner of his eye, he still did not take the initiative to pay attention to their thoughts.

Very different from those warm and friendly villagers.

But John knew how to open the situation correctly.

Sure enough, the next second Uncle Kuang turned his head and said slowly: "Come in."

The two looked at each other and stepped inside the door politely. John carefully closed the carved iron door again.

After Uncle Kuang sent the iron pieces into his workshop, he came over to greet them.

"What kind of farm tools do you want to buy? Zhang Da should have told you in advance that I don't sell weapons."

John nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Kuang, don't worry, we are here to buy two shovels. Does Uncle Kuang have any recommended models?"

"Model?" Uncle Kuang was very puzzled.

Seeing this, John quickly explained: "It means size."

"Oh." Uncle Kuang nodded slightly, and then led them to the warehouse without saying anything.

On the way, John seemed to regret that he had read too little.

Soon, the group came to the iron barn door. Uncle Kuang twisted the old-fashioned lock, causing a harsh creaking sound.

With a clang, the warehouse door was completely opened by Uncle Kuang.

The first thing you see is the neatly arranged farm tools on the ground and walls, some large and small, but they all look very delicate, as if they have been patiently polished.

Uncle Kuang took them to the shovels. Shovels of various lengths were hung on the wall for display.

Uncle Kuang said: "Just choose the length that suits your body. Don't be greedy for length."

"Okay." John agreed obediently, and with Uncle Kuang's help, he chose a medium-length shovel with a layer of red paint rolled on it.

The first fighting brother was taller and chose a slightly longer one.

With the inclusion of the last tool, the copper coins John earned from selling iron ore and the copper coins used by Brother 1 to complete daily tasks were almost all used up.

John looked at the remaining copper coin in his hand and smiled bitterly: "If we don't find anything valuable, I'm afraid we will have to dig for blood."

Battle Brother No. 150 also feels the same way. It is indeed a refined shovel, with a durability of points, which is much higher than ordinary weapons.

Before leaving, Uncle Kuang suddenly said strangely: "If you dig up something you don't recognize, you can come to me for identification."

"Appraisal!"

John seemed to have grasped something important, and raised his voice and asked: "Uncle Kuang, can you identify crystal stones here?"

Uncle Kuang said: "Bring it to me and take a look."

John quickly opened the storage bag and handed a blue drop-shaped crystal to Uncle Kuang.

Uncle Kuang did not take it directly, but took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, wrapped it around the crystal, looked at the appearance, and walked towards the workroom.

John and Brother Zhan followed and saw Uncle Kuang taking out some small mirrors, small hammers, and small brushes, and treating the crystal stone carefully and meticulously.

After almost two minutes, Uncle Kuang came to the conclusion: "This is an energy crystal. The energy inside is very pure but very little."

When I received the crystal again, the suffix to be identified had disappeared, and the complete information about the crystal was also displayed.

[Item name: Energy crystal

Item introduction: A special crystal stone that can be used to increase energy in the body.

Energy tank: 50]

"You haven't learned the corresponding techniques yet, so you can't absorb these crystal stones."

Uncle Kuang's words made the two of them very excited.

The techniques and skills are just the energy used to defeat monsters in the pilot film.

John looked at the crystal in his hand and sighed in his heart: It's a pity that he hasn't found a place to learn skills yet.

However, thinking of the distant treasure again, John gritted his teeth and asked, "Uncle Kuang, do you accept the spar?"

Uncle Kuang was surprised for two seconds and shook his head: "If you want to sell it, it's best to sell it in Qingfeng Town. The price can't be obtained in our village."

"Uncle Kuang, do you need crystal stones?"

John looked at Uncle Kuang with burning eyes. Uncle Kuang suddenly raised his eyes and met John's gaze, showing his first smile since their arrival.

"Yes, of course." He took off his glasses, wiped the lenses with another white cloth, and said, "20 copper coins, which is the price of an ordinary first-grade crystal."

"Okay, I'll sell it." John said without hesitation.

Hearing this, Uncle Kuang looked around John again, and the smile on his lips became even wider.

"Then I won't ask for your appraisal fee this time. If you encounter anything else that needs appraisal next time, you can come to me directly."

The latter words were obviously addressed to John, who paused before nodding in agreement.

After the two left, John used the 20 copper coins to buy three hemostatic ointments and a bandage, and then embarked on a journey to dig for treasure.
