Chapter 231 Eye-opening ‘convenient weapon’ (two chapters in one)
People were coming and going on the lively streets.
On the endless streets paved with bluestone slabs, from time to time there would be some large carriages filled with goods, passing quickly by Lin Li.
On both sides of the street, there are many antique shops with four or five floors.
Although I didn’t walk into these shops, when I passed by the door and looked inside, I could see that the shops were filled with a dazzling array of products.
Even though it is early in the morning, there are still many customers going out for shopping and shopping in these shops.
Somewhat different from the commercial streets Lin Li had seen before, the commercial street he was on now had no roadside vendors.
Think about it, along the way, the shops opened on this commercial street are all very high-end. The customers who can go to such shops to spend money, judging from their clothes, should have a good income. Not bad.
If both sides of the street are filled with small vendors setting up stalls haphazardly, then the overall business environment of this commercial street will definitely be affected.
By then, some customers with status and good income will no longer come here to shop.
So Lin Li guessed that this commercial street without stalls might be managed by personnel from relevant departments.
In other words, even if there are no personnel from relevant departments to manage it, the merchants who open stores on this street will spontaneously organize personnel to manage this street and maintain the current business environment.
Walking on the street, Lin Li would look at the rather high-end shops on both sides of the street from time to time. His thoughts in his mind could not help but wander, thinking about some unimportant things.
…………
According to the address he obtained when chatting with the young coachman, Lin Li walked for about ten minutes and arrived at the store he was going to today, which specialized in sales. A chain store of spiritual weapons that ordinary people can use.
"Convenient Magical Weapon"
Lin Li looked at the shop in front of him, which covered an area of 350 square meters and had three floors. He was immediately attracted by the sign of this shop.
The coachman who told him the address of this store said that when it gets dark, the sign of this store will light up with a pale golden light.
As a practitioner, Lin Li, who was standing in front of the shop, sensed the faint spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the shop sign.
It is certain that the signboard of this store is a spiritual weapon.
"It's a convenient name. It's a very down-to-earth name! It's simple and clear. People who see the sign will immediately know what the products sold in this store are."
Staring at the sign After watching for a few seconds, Lin Li muttered, and then he walked into the shop in front of him, which specialized in selling spiritual weapons that ordinary people could use.
…………
The interior decoration of this store called ‘Convenience Spirit Equipment’ is very simple.
There are shelves made of solid wood in the store, with various spiritual weapons placed on them.
Looking at the layout of the store, it will give people the feeling of visiting a home appliance supermarket on Blue Star.
Compared with other high-end shops on this street, this shop called "Convenience Spirit" has fewer customers than those shops.
Of course, there are just fewer people. If you observe carefully, you will find that although there are fewer customers coming to the store to buy things, the customers have a lot of things to buy.
When Lin Li walked into the store, there were already many customers queuing up in front of the cashier with a bunch of selected convenience items, waiting to pay.
“Welcome, sir, do you need anything?”
A neatly dressed clerk was replenishing the missing goods on the container. When he saw a person standing next to him, he turned his head and glanced, then greeted him with a smile.
"I haven't decided what to buy yet. Let's take a look first..." Lin Li said to the clerk, and then focused on the product introduction sheet posted on the shelf.
When the clerk who replenished the goods saw what Lin Li said, he said nothing more and continued to do the work at hand, replenishing the goods on the container.
The products on the shelves in front of Lin Li were small metal rods as long as fingers.
One end of these small metal iron rods is red, accounting for about one-fifth of the whole, and the rest are all silver-white.
Through the product description on the container, Lin Li understood the purpose of the small metal iron rod in front of him.
This small metal iron rod is called "ignition rod". Its purpose can be known from the name. It functions like a match.
No, it should be a lighter.
As long as it is activated, a flame will ignite from the red end of the small metal rod.
The clerk who was replenishing the goods next to me left after replenishing the goods.
At this time, Lin Li took down a "fire stick" from the shelf. He wanted to try this convenient magic weapon that ordinary people can use to see if its effect was as described in the product introduction sheet.
According to the description on the product introduction sheet, users do not need to use psychic energy to activate this spiritual weapon. They only need to press the small button raised on the surface of the spiritual weapon to activate this spiritual weapon.
"Plop."
Pressing the button to activate the spiritual weapon, Lin Li immediately felt something subtle from this seemingly ordinary small metal rod. of psychic energy fluctuations.
"Peng."
After waiting for about three seconds, the red end of the small metal iron rod suddenly ignited a small flame the size of a fingernail.
“After activating this spiritual weapon, it takes three seconds to ignite the flame. Compared with the lighter on Blue Star, the ignition speed is just a little bit slower, isn’t it?
However, the fuel of this thing is spiritual energy, and with this One thing, its rarity and interest cannot be compared to the lighter on Blue Star..."
Lin Li looked at the small flame lit by the convenient spiritual weapon in his hand and muttered softly. , and then he blew into the small flame.
“Huh…”
After the small flame was blown out, Lin Li put the "ignition stick" in his hand back on the shelf, and then continued to look at other products.
…………
High-temperature oven: It has a boxy shape and looks a bit like the electric oven on Blue Star. When activated, it can provide a high temperature of about two hundred degrees.
Laundry bucket: A small brown metal bucket, one meter high and cylindrical in shape. Its function is similar to the washing machine on Blue Star.
Boiling kettle: It looks like an ordinary kettle with a capacity of 1.5 liters. After pouring water into the kettle, press the switch to activate it. It takes about three minutes to boil the water in the kettle.
Refrigerator: a square metal piece, one centimeter thick, ten centimeters on a side, black in color overall.
This spiritual weapon is the same one that Lin Li saw when he was riding in a carriage. Its function is similar to the air conditioner on Blue Star.
Another convenient item sold on the shelf next to the refrigerator is called a heater.
Except for the red color, this spiritual weapon looks the same in size.
As you can guess from the name, its function is the opposite of that of a refrigerator.
Now that the weather is so hot, there is no need to use it. Winter is when this spiritual weapon comes into play. "Can't we combine the two functions of cooling and heating into one spiritual device?" Lin Li couldn't help but vomit in his heart after looking at the two convenient spiritual devices, the refrigerator and the heater.
The next thing is the last item in the store.
The name of the last product is very nice, it’s called Xishui Changliu.
If you just listen to the name of this product without looking at the actual product, you can probably guess what this product is used for.
Through its name and imagining what it looks like, you may think of it as high-end and classy.
But the reality is...its appearance is shocking.
Lin Li looked at the convenient spiritual weapon called "Long Water" in front of him, and couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth, muttering to himself in a dumbfounded way.
“Isn’t this thing just a faucet? It also has a long flowing water! The name is elegant.”
Long flowing water: The shape is similar to the faucet on Blue Star. After pressing the switch to activate, it can continue continuously. The fresh water that can be directly consumed flows out, and the water output is 1,000 liters. When the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual device itself is used up, it will be scrapped, and it is a disposable product.
The convenient spiritual weapons that Lin Li looked at before could all be replenished with spiritual energy and reused.
The last thing he looked at was a convenient tool for making fresh water called "Long Water", but he didn't expect it to be a disposable item.
Looking at the price, it is also the most expensive. This spiritual weapon costs 3,000 coppers, which is equivalent to 1,000 liters of water costing 3,000 coppers.
Such a selling price can be said to be convenient for the people, but it is not close to the people.
And according to Lin Li's observation, there are running water pipes in Dongwucheng, and I think residents also have running water in their homes.
There is no need for you to buy this convenient magical weapon called "Long Water".
Of course, there is an exception. If some residents of Dongwu City don't like to drink tap water, they can buy this convenient magic weapon and let it provide them with daily drinking water.
…………
Except for the convenience artifact that looks like a faucet, which feels too expensive, the other six convenience artifacts are all reasonably priced.
The ignition rod costs 100 copper and can be recharged once every five years.
The boiling kettle costs 300 copper and can be recharged every two years.
High-temperature oven costs 500 copper and can be recharged every two years.
The laundry bucket costs 1,000 coppers and can be recharged once a year.
The heater and the cooler are the same, both cost 2000 copper and are recharged once a year.
As for how to replenish spiritual energy to these convenient spiritual weapons, it is quite simple.
Find a practitioner who specializes in this kind of charging work, or go to a store that sells spiritual stones, buy a small piece of spiritual stone fragments, and charge the convenient spiritual weapons at home yourself.
…………
Lin Li walked around the store and after looking at all the convenience artifacts, he decided to buy one of each of the seven convenience artifacts sold in the store.
Although some of them are not used by him, he thinks these convenient spiritual weapons are quite interesting. They don’t cost much anyway. Use the ones that can be used, and keep the ones that can’t be used as souvenirs.
"Sir, the seven convenient spiritual weapons cost a total of 8,900 coppers..." The clerk in charge of collecting money calculated the total price of the items Lin Li wanted to buy and said with a smile.
"Sir, because the total price of the goods you purchased exceeds 8,000 coppers, our store provides you with free door-to-door service..."
The clerk in charge of collecting money was about to ask Lin Li to tell him his home address. It was so convenient for them to arrange for someone to deliver the goods to their home later. Lin Li spoke up first and refused the free door-to-door delivery service.
“You don’t have to take these things home for me, I can just take these things with me.”
As a visitor from another world, Lin Li has no place to live in Dongwu City. What home address should I tell the other party?
"Huh?" The clerk was stunned when he heard Lin Li said that they didn't need their help to deliver the goods to the door.
However, he quickly came to his senses and thought to himself that there was no need for help to deliver so many things to his door. It seemed that this customer must have brought his servant.
He has seen many customers like this who bring their servants to buy things.
This type of customer does not need people in the store to help them deliver the goods to their door. They can directly put the purchased items on their own carriage and transport them home.
After the little episode, the clerk packed up all the convenient spiritual tools that Lin Li bought and placed them in the open space next to the store entrance.
After everything was settled, the clerk who was responsible for packing Lin Li's items did not see any servants coming to move the goods. Therefore, the clerk looked doubtfully at the customer who was wearing a hat to hide his face.
Lin Li came out of the store and noticed that the clerk who helped him pack his bags looked at him with confusion.
He did not explain anything, but went straight to the packaged convenient spiritual weapons he bought and put them all into the mysterious island.
"...?!!!" Seeing the pile of things in front of him disappear in the blink of an eye, the clerk suddenly opened his mouth in surprise.
Although he is just an ordinary person, he still has good eyesight...
When he saw the customer stretching out his hand, the things in front of him disappeared out of thin air, and he immediately thought of the magic storage device. Or the storage space ability.
After Lin Li collected all the things he bought, he left the store that sold a variety of convenient spiritual weapons.
"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Come over and do something!" A clerk who was about to go to the warehouse upstairs to get goods saw his colleague standing stupidly outside the door and shouted immediately One sentence.
The shop assistant Lin Li was looking at Lin Li who was walking away with a surprised look on his face. When he heard a colleague calling him, he immediately came back to his senses, nodded immediately, and quickly followed the footsteps of his colleagues. Head to the warehouse upstairs to get the goods.
"What were you doing standing there stupidly at the door just now?"
"I'm telling you! Someone came to our store just now, either using a storage device or using Guests with special abilities in storage space.”
"Storage magic weapon? Storage space power?"
"Hmm."
"Why do such customers come to a store like ours?"
" What else can you do? Of course you come to our store to buy convenient spiritual weapons!"
"Uh... Whether it's people who have awakened the storage space ability or have storage spiritual weapons, most people They are all big shots...
If such a big shot wants to buy a convenient spiritual weapon, he can just ask his servants to buy it.
It’s really strange to come to a store like ours for ordinary people to buy things in person! "
"Yes! It's a pity that the guest just now was wearing a bamboo hat to hide his face. It would be nice if we could see what he looked like. ”
The two clerks were chatting about Lin Li while heading to the third floor warehouse of the store.
