The Ninth Secret Bureau

Following the old liar downstairs and following the prescribed procedures to transfer the payment, Chen Xian couldn't help feeling relieved, and the most troublesome thing for him was finally done.

After the transfer, the old liar stood next to Chen Xian and glanced at his phone surreptitiously.

Seeing the seven-figure deposit balance, the old liar sighed: "You guys are pretty stocked!"

"I have spent a lot of time recently, and the original deposits are more." Chen Xian said helplessly, thinking of his daily expenses, and converting it into the balance of the deposits, he put a lot of pressure on his face, "If it doesn't happen all the time. If you work, it may not last a few years."

"Can't it last for a few years?" The old liar was taken aback, "You can spend so much normally? Which one do you account for?"

"Eat." Chen Xian whispered, his expression still so disappointed, "I spend almost three thousand a day, and it is a million in a year. Now the domestic prices are so high, and the price of beef and mutton has risen several times. ......"

The old liar was silent for two seconds, and tentatively asked, "Why don't you eat pork instead?"

"I also eat that, but beef and mutton are better for my body and easier to absorb, so I usually eat more. You also know that my stomach is not right..."

"Your stomach is from the prodigal family, and no one can afford to support it." The old liar smiled gleefully, "So much money has to be spent on food, the life of the rich is really unpretentious, huh? "

"..."

Although Chen Xian wanted to refute the old liar's words, he had to say that what he said still made sense. Isn't he a prodigal when his stomach becomes so abnormal?

Normally, this shop is as lively as a vegetable market. Only today is rarely free. Chen Xian saw that the old man was bored in the shop alone, so he planned to chat with him for a while. By the way Talk about something related to yourself.

The room on the first floor is the quietest place in the whole shop.

The difference from the front hall is that the decoration here is relatively old, and it seems that it has not been renovated in recent years. The walls have inevitably become yellow and dull, cracks have appeared in many places, and the wall peeling is the most serious. The few places in the country were blocked by old crooks with old posters from the 90s.

The dark brown floor on the ground is worn out badly. Maybe the wooden body is decayed. Once someone walks by, it will creak and creak, and in some places it will dent suddenly while bearing the weight, giving a soft feeling. Feeling weak, like walking in the mud and stepping on a pit.

In the cramped room, there was only room for a floor-to-ceiling tea table and a few chairs.

On the wall on the left is the LCD TV bought by the old crook last year. It’s late at night. The middle-aged aunt’s favorite family ethics drama is being broadcast on the TV. The chattering sound sounds a bit noisy, but it’s also full of lethargy. The familiar smell of fireworks.

Chen Xian and the old liar were sitting at the table drinking tea, while the girl stared at the LCD TV hanging on the wall. She seemed quite interested in the content on it. She stared at the screen intently, her eyes glowing with excitement.

"Master Ge, is there any better magical artifact in your store?" When Chen Xian asked this, a list of the magical artifacts that he had purchased before had appeared in his mind.

The Tongxuan Five Elements Whip in Xia Maoshan, the Bronze Casting Sword from Longhu Mountain, the Baixi Corpse Rope of Xiangxi, the Soul Drum of Wuxian Town in the Northeast, the White Urn Seal of Zhanxie of Lushan School... these It's just a small part of the magical artifacts that Chen Xian bought.

Over the years, Chen Xian has bought more than 30 artifacts, and almost each of them has a price of more than 30,000. Although this artifact has a taste of assembly-line processing, it is definitely value for money, and the price is large in China. Some strangers use this kind of magical artifact.

According to normal conditions, these artifacts are relatively durable, at least one or two years of use, and more than three to four years. It mainly depends on how the owner uses and "maintains."

Chen Xian is a caring person. He has a lot of experience in maintaining magical instruments, but when it comes to use...

Other strangers use magical weapons to operate Yin-Yang spells, but Chen Xian is more unique. He can just use Yin-Yang magical instruments as standard cold weapons, always trying to defeat his opponents on a physical level.

The whip-shaped magic weapon is used as a whip, and the sword-shaped magic weapon is used as a sword to slash.

Although in recent years compared with ancient magical tools, the level of refining tools and metal raw materials have been significantly improved. From the aspect of hard quality, those ancient magical tools can also be completely crushed, but no matter what The hard magic weapon couldn't help Chen Xian being so devastated.

"Why don't you buy ordinary weapons, the magical weapons are not suitable for you." The old liar said to Chen Xian politely, doing his best to make Chen Xian cut off his thoughts on the use of weapons.

Every time Chen Xian buys a magic weapon, problems will inevitably occur in less than a month. After buying it dozens of times, even the old liar is a little suspicious at the end of the purchase. Did he really cheat him so many times? ?

In fact, in Yin City, the old liar himself has a good reputation. Although his shop is not high quality and low price, at least it is worth the money. However, the magical instruments that Chen Xian bought from him always had problems and caused problems. The old liar was frightened, for fear that others would say behind him that he was an old and undead black-hearted ghost, staring at the wrongdoer and would not say anything.

The old liar was scared, scared from the bottom of his heart.

You don't know those yin and yang techniques, so why do you have to buy magical artifacts?

The old liar asked Chen Xian more than once about this question, and Chen Xian's answer was the same every time.

"practical."

At present, the casting level of domestic cold weapons is very high. Titanium alloys, tungsten steels, ferroalloys...all common and uncommon metals can be used to cast cold weapons, and their sharpness, toughness and durability have their own levels. , The specifics still depend on the price, the low-priced goods can only be used as ordinary cold weapons, and the high-priced goods may break the "defense line" of certain abnormal lives.

However, like the kind of cold weapons with higher "lethality", their prices are often much more expensive than ordinary magic weapons, and the price-performance ratio can be said to be very low.

If you use a numerical analogy, a magic weapon worth 30,000 has a physical attack power of 5 and a special attribute attack power of 5, so the total is 10.

And those high-end cold weapons with a price of nearly 100,000, only have a pure physical attack power of 10, without any additional special attributes.

From the perspective of attack power alone, there is almost no difference between the two.

So overall, the price-performance ratio of the magical artifact is higher.

For a stranger like Chen Xian, who is careful to live his life, what else can he buy if he doesn't buy magical artifacts?

"You kid, give up on the magic weapon, don't even think about it, even if I kill you, I won't sell it to you!" The old liar picked up the teacup and drank it in a very free and unrestrained posture, "I will sell you another method. Device, I am the biggest silly X in Yin City."

"Don't talk dirty." Chen Xian looked at him cautiously, and asked tentatively, "Would you like to sell me another one? I promise not to use it indiscriminately in the future, and I won't bother you if it breaks!"

The old liar looked at him, and spit out a word on his old lips.

"Your mouth is better than any weapon, why do you smash it on the magic weapon..." the old liar sighed, took a cigarette out of his pocket, and said slowly, "Or else In this way, you pay me two hundred thousand, and I will teach you a one-month crash course in Taoism. At that time, you will surely be more powerful with your use, and I will be able to sell it to you with confidence."

"Learning Taoism?" Chen Xian frowned, as if remembering something in the past, shook his head and said, "I'm not that piece of material."

Before the age of twenty, Chen Xian had always yearned for religious practice. After all, his biggest idol was Lin Fengjiao, the zombie leader in the Hong Kong and Taiwan horror movies, but after several attempts...Chen Xian gave up Up.

Chen Xian once attended a cram school provided by the Secret Bureau. The tuition for a month was about 100,000 yuan. The teacher was a special lecturer hired by the Secret Bureau from Maoshan. He was a real stranger.

In that cram school, Chen Xian was the stranger with the highest status.

At only twenty years old, he became a senior temporary worker of the Secret Bureau. It is no exaggeration to describe him as a genius of heaven and earth. The teacher has great confidence in him, even in the first The moment he saw Chen Xian in class, the teacher seemed to see his limitless future.

Facts have proved that the teacher is misleading.

To cast any Yin-Yang spell, you need an introductory. The so-called introductory qi is the yin and yang in the human body. The connection between them and other people is like the relationship between the magician and the magic value in the game, and they are indispensable for each other.

The reason why Chen Xian could not practice religious magic is because of these qi.

The "reserves" of yin and yang in his body are only comparable to ordinary people, not even as strangers who just started, even if the teacher prescribes a small stove for him or even finds various medicinal materials to replenish his qi, the final result is still the same ......

"Forget it, I'll just buy some magical artifacts." Chen Xian was unwilling to continue to remember, and glanced at the old liar, with a sincere tone, "I am a human and not a beast. I have a mental problem."

The old liar was smoking without a word, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"The artifact is really not suitable for you, you kid don't need to think about it anymore, I will definitely not sell it to you, but... I suddenly had an idea, I'm not sure you are suitable for those things."

"What?" Chen Xian suddenly became interested.

The old liar looked at Chen Xian, his shriveled face looming in the smoke, and his smile was inexplicably weird.

"Evil weapon."
