Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 463 Scavenger

The next day, in the morning.

As a province with clouds as its symbol, the sky here is clear and blue all year round. On the clear blue sky are pure white clouds that are piled up like mountains or as fluffy as goose down. They look pure, transparent, vast and distant.

Just as empty as the sky above is the remote and narrow antique street below.

It was clearly a sunny morning and the ancient city scenic area a hundred meters away was already bustling with people, but there were very few tourists walking on this street. It is no exaggeration to say that the number of deliverymen walking on this street might exceed the handful of tourists.

However, this deserted business situation obviously did not disturb the leisurely mood of the surrounding shop owners. At the door of a tea shop in the middle and back section of the street, Mr. An, dressed in a black gown, was leaning leisurely on a rocking chair, squinting his eyes to face the clear blue sky above his head, and enjoying the warm touch brought by the warm sunshine evenly spreading all over his body.

To be honest, the reason why he chose to open a shop and live in this area was that the sky above accounted for at least 80% of it.

The above factors.

When people get old, they need to get more sun exposure so that they can feel that there is still some vitality left in their old bodies.

As for business? He opened the shop not to make money, but just to find something to do and have some free time.

But when it comes to leisure, he is far inferior to the man next to him. Thinking of this, Mr. An on the recliner slightly turned sideways and glanced at the gold-plated plaque with the word "Furnace" engraved on the upper left.

Compared to his small tea shop which is open every day, this larger weapons and handicrafts shop can only be described as being operated on a whim. Not only are the opening hours of the shop never fixed, but they will never be open for more than a week in a row. Even the saying of "fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days" can only be said to be an unattainable expectation for him.

"What kind of business is this Xu kid in? He is even more Buddhist than an old man like me."

As he was thinking, a figure suddenly passed by An Lao's eyes and walked straight into the weapons shop with the door open.

"Hey, this is the fourth one today, this guy is doing pretty good business."

...............

Inside the shop, the spacious and grand room is decorated in a simple style. Various weapons, armors and other objects are arranged in an orderly manner. Some of the blades that have never been sheathed are shining coldly under the shining golden light, revealing a deadly beauty that is unique to cold weapons.

"A bag of rice has to be carried to several floors, a bag of rice has to be carried to the second floor, a bag of rice... spicy Tiansen!"

Suddenly, a Japanese dialogue that was incompatible with the atmosphere of the store came out quietly from the counter not far away, and quickly attracted the middle-aged customer who had just stepped into the store.

He paused as he looked around, and glanced sideways at the tall figure behind the counter that couldn't even completely block the computer screen. His eyes flashed, and then he walked straight forward.

"The boss also watches Naruto."

After he finished speaking, Xu Yue poked his head out from behind the computer screen, took a look at the tall and well-proportioned customer in front of him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Been a soldier?"

"Haha, the store manager has a good eye. He did spend a few years in the army before. Now... he can be considered to be serving the country."

Without denying, the customer smiled heartily, then raised his eyes to look at the eight-sided Han sword on the weapon rack on the right. The sword was not sheathed, and the shiny sword body looked like frost and snow under the light, with a cold glow on the blade. When looking closely, one could see the complicated tortoise-back inscriptions all over the sword body. Although he had not held it in his hand, just by looking at its shape and appearance from a distance, it was not difficult to tell that this was definitely a genuine masterpiece.

"Good skills, my name is Wang Chuan, what's the store manager's name?"

"My last name is Xu." He replied calmly. Xu Yue pointed to the unsheathed Han sword on the weapon rack and continued, "You can try it."

"Then I won't be polite."

Before he finished speaking, the Han sword weighing nearly four pounds had been picked up by the opponent with one hand. After skillfully swinging the sword in a flower shape, his eyes were slightly stern, and then the sword in his hand suddenly stabbed forward.

The long sword broke through the air, and a bright sword light was seen, followed by the clanging sound of the sword that resounded throughout the shop.

Based on this move alone, Wang Chuan's skill level is at least above the level of swordsmanship expertise +10.

"Good sword. Although it is not sharpened, its strength and toughness are very close to those of ordinary green weapons. To be able to forge such a sword with ordinary materials from the real world, you are worthy of being the recognized forging master of Paradise. Very impressive."

After briefly feeling the quality of the sword, Wang Chuan stroked the thick metal blade of the sword in his hand while looking at the tall figure behind the counter with sincerity.

Their eyes met, and even though the identity was revealed, Xu Yue's expression remained calm. He had roughly guessed the identity of the visitor from the moment the other party stepped into the store.

The difference in aura between a contractor and an ordinary person is like that between a coyote and a lamb. Even if they try their best to restrain their aura, it is still obvious to his perception, not to mention the military demeanor that is difficult to conceal in their every move. Of course, it is also possible that the other party never intended to conceal it deliberately from the beginning.

Raising his hand to turn off the Naruto that was still playing on the computer screen, Xu Yue glanced at a black button on the other person's coat and said lightly.

"Stop pretending? Then let's get down to business. What do the officials want from me?"

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to make sure of your identity. Let me introduce you again. Wang Chuan, the captain of the Unstable Factors Cleaning Planning Bureau. Of course, you can also call us street cleaners. Here is my ID." "Street cleaner?"

Xu Yue casually took the certificate handed over by Wang Chuan, glanced at it briefly and then returned it. This kind of certificate from a special department was not of much significance and it was impossible to tell whether it was real or fake. Compared to this so-called certificate, he cared more about how much power the other party could mobilize.

"From the name of this organization, are you planning to eliminate us unstable factors?"

Xu Yue's tone was gentle, but as he spoke, a very thin black mist began to roll faintly on his body surface. In the real world, only active skills are banned, and passive effects like evil spirit control are not within the scope of prohibition.

On the opposite side, as the black evil spirit leaked out slightly, Wang Chuan, who was holding a long sword, suddenly froze in his expression. At this moment, he felt as if his heart was suddenly tightened by a big hand, and even the long sword in his hand became icy cold, which made people shudder.

Only after taking a deep breath did he barely break free from the strange feeling and quickly explained.

"Unstable factors only refer to those who rely on their extraordinary powers to act recklessly and make illegal profits. Of course, they do not include good citizens like you who run legal businesses. You can rest assured. We have checked the information in detail. Since entering the country, Mr. Xu has basically no criminal record in the country."

"So we are not here to cause trouble this time. We are just fulfilling some necessary obligations of disclosure and... we want to discuss some cooperation matters with you."

"……explain."

Noticing that the cold environment around him was quickly warming up, Wang Chuan felt relieved. He didn't care about the other party's cold attitude, but raised his hand and took out two white documents that had been prepared long ago from his arms, and then took out an identity certificate and a black business card.

"We, the Scavengers, are absolutely welcoming to contractors who are willing to live a stable life. This is the most basic notification document. As long as you do not violate the above terms, we will never interfere with Manager Xu's daily life. On the contrary, we will take the initiative to isolate you from some unnecessary troubles. Of course, if you act recklessly, please believe that we are absolutely determined and confident to fight to the death."

"In addition to the documents, there is also a completely legal and compliant identity certificate and our organization's separate contact information. As long as you are willing to sign the documents, the latter two will be considered as a welcome gift from our organization."

After patiently listening to Wang Chuan's story, Xu Yue was the first to lower his eyes to look at the identity certificate on the counter. In the face of national power, it was not difficult to find out that he had no identity information in the past. Although it was not stated explicitly, the meaning that the scavenger wanted to express was quite obvious.

That is, they can ignore Xu Yue's abnormality and do not care about his past identity. The only requirement is that everyone must abide by the law within this country. Stability is the first order they want to maintain.

Xu Yue had no objection to this. After briefly reading the terms and conditions in the notification document, he decisively signed his name on the document.

The document is not a contract produced by the park, and it does not have any binding effect. As Wang Chuan said, they are just fulfilling some necessary obligations of notification. As for the significance of signing the document, it can be regarded as a symbol of sincerity that both parties are willing to cooperate.

After getting the signatures, Xu Yue threw one of the documents on the counter to the other side. As for the others, he naturally kept them properly. A completely formal identity certificate could save him a lot of unnecessary troubles.

"Now that you've been informed that this is completed, let's talk about your so-called cooperation."

"Well, Manager Xu, are you interested in joining us? In terms of sincerity..."

"Not interested in!"

Before he could finish his words, he was rejected cleanly and neatly. Wang Chuan's breath was held in place by the interruption, but he did not feel disappointed. After the analysis by the psychological team, he had expected this reply.

He flicked the sword in his hand with his fingers, listened to the clear sword sound echoing in his ears, and continued to speak with a smile.

"Since you don't want to join, we won't force you. But if it's just a weapons trade, you probably won't refuse."

"Tell me more about it."

"You must be aware that due to the restrictions of Paradise, we can't bring our equipment into the real world. Ordinary firearms are not only not threatening to most contractors, but can also easily cause social unrest. So I hope to customize a batch of high-quality weapons and armor from you."

"Secondly, although finished equipment is extremely difficult to bring into the real world, we still have a way to produce some prop materials such as simple ores. I hope that you can make them into specific equipment."

After saying that, Wang Chuan looked at Xu Yue opposite him with expectation. As an official member, the reason why he was so friendly, even respectful, was mainly because of the other party's powerful forging ability.

Being able to forge weapons of green quality out of ordinary metal materials, the value of this in the real world can be imagined. At least the scavengers in their team have never been qualified to come into contact with a blacksmith of this level before. Now that they have finally found one in their jurisdiction, they must definitely hold on to him.

"Okay, what's the reward?"

"Don't worry about that. Whether it's money or authority in the real world, or Paradise Coins, information, or precious items in Paradise City, we can discuss it."

After hearing this, Xu Yue pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

It's all business anyway, whether it's done in the theme park or in the real world, it makes no difference to him. Since it can provide another business channel, he has no reason to refuse.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Happy cooperation!"
