Night Falls: I Kill Through the Wasteland with My Entries

Chapter 20 Goodbye Li Jingan

"Half a pound?" The stall owner opened his eyes wide, shaking his head like a rattle, and said, "No, no, this is not enough to cover my labor costs."

"How about one pound?" Su Ding frowned and said slowly.

"It's not enough. It's hard for me to do business like this." The stall owner continued to shake his head.

Su Ding glanced at the other person's facial expression, turned around and left without stopping.

The stall owner behind him had a look of struggle on his face.

When Su Ding was about to walk away, he still called out: "Okay, okay, I'll give you one pound."

Su Ding paused, nodded, and then bought the bone armor for a pound of black crystal.

With the prospector's 30% observation bonus, he can bargain here with divine help.

In his previous life, Su Ding was a person who didn't like to bargain.

I would rather buy things online and I don’t want to waste time bargaining with others.

But here, you can't do without bargaining.

If you don't know how to bargain and are shy, you will probably be ripped off by these old hands.

After buying the bone armor, Su Ding put it on directly and then covered it with a layer of clothes.

Although this bone armor is a bit rough, it fits the body well.

Moreover, this bone may be the bone of the Bone Demon King, so it is very light overall, weighing only about two or three pounds in total.

Wearing bone armor, Su Ding suddenly felt a little safer.

With this thing, at least we can resist some dangers.

You have to know that fighting with armor and fighting without armor are completely different.

After doing all this, Su Ding started strolling around the market again.

Now that he has bought the armor, he plans to get some weapons.

Soon, Su Ding found the stall selling weapons.

Various weapons were displayed on the stalls, most of which were handmade.

The most common ones were long spears.

The tip of a spear is usually made of a dagger, scissors, or sharpened steel bars.

This thing is the most affordable weapon here, cheap and easy to use.

Don't be fooled by people bragging about swords and knives. When you really encounter an enemy, this kind of spear is the most useful. You can kill them without making a sound with just one stab.

However, Su Ding did not come here to buy this kind of spear.

The process for making this kind of thing is generally not complicated, and you can make it yourself at home. There is no need to waste black crystals to buy it.

Su Ding looked around the place and finally saw what he wanted to buy.

They were longbows made of wood.

"Little brother, do you want to buy a bow? The bows I have here are the best bows here." The stall owner was a fat man. When he saw Su Ding, he couldn't help but introduce him with a smile.

Su Ding looked at it silently for a few seconds, and his eyes fell on a long, flat bone.

"What is this thing used for?" he asked.

Hearing his question, the stall owner's eyes rolled and he said with a smile, "Brother, you have good taste. These bones of mine are from the Bone Demon King and are very valuable. I plan to use them to make bow limbs. I have a few finished products here. Would you like to take a look?"

After saying that, he took down a longbow from the rack behind him.

On the longbow, the flat jade-like bone was fixed to the two ends of the wood with a few screws, and the handle was wrapped with cloth, which looked very fine.

The stall owner pulled the string hard, then slowly returned it to its original position and said, "This thing is really good. Just think about it, if you encounter an enemy and they don't get close to you, you can eliminate them. How much danger can you avoid?"

Su Ding stroked the surface of the bone with his fingers, feeling its delicateness and warmth.

This thing is actually made of the same material as the bone armor on his body.

"How about buying one, brother? Do you want to try it out?" The stall owner said with a smile, "If you want to buy one, I'll give you ten arrows right away."

"How many black crystals are there?" Su Ding seemed a little interested.

"Ten kilograms of black crystal."

Su Ding's mouth twitched when he heard this.

This price is really outrageous. Ten kilograms of black crystal is equivalent to one hundred kilograms of earth and rice.

"It's too expensive, I can't afford it." Su Ding shook his head.

Besides, he wasn't planning on buying a bow.

The bow can only exert its power in the hands of an experienced person.

Su Ding didn't think he had any talent in this area.

Moreover, the cost of practicing this thing is too high, and if you are not careful, it is easy to ruin the arrow.

He can't afford it either.

Hearing Su Ding's words, the stall owner's enthusiasm did not diminish in the slightest. He pointed at the other bows and said, "Then take a look at these. Is there anything you want? I also have cheap bows here. The one on the left weighs two kilograms of black crystal, and the one on the right weighs half a kilogram. These bows are also good weapons. I can definitely shoot them at a range of one or two hundred meters."

Su Ding checked these bows and found that they were well made.

He then paused and asked the stall owner, "Boss, do you have any crossbows for sale?"

"Crossbow?" The stall owner looked at Su Ding in confusion, "What crossbow?"

Seeing his puzzled expression, Su Ding was stunned and felt something was wrong for a moment.

How could this guy selling bows not know about crossbows?
Could it be that the craft of making crossbows has been lost in this world?

But how is this possible?

Su Ding moved his mouth slightly, wanting to explain to the stall owner what a crossbow was.

But then he immediately became alert.

A crossbow is almost the same as a bow. Once you have seen it, you will have a general idea of what it looks like and even how it is made. It is unlikely to be lost easily.

There might be some secrets in this.

"Forget it if there is nothing." Su Ding shook his head and was not prepared to continue the topic.

Then, he looked around the stalls and bought a slingshot and hundreds of steel balls, spending half a pound of black crystal.

Since I can't buy a crossbow, I can only use this thing as a substitute.

Slingshots can cause great damage at close range. If they hit someone's head, it can cause them to bleed.

Moreover, although this thing requires a certain level of proficiency, the cost of practicing is not as high as that of a bow and arrow.

After buying things, Su Ding counted his black crystals.

There are still 3.8 kilograms.

I have to say that the purchasing power of this black crystal is indeed good, and it is definitely hard currency.

Some flowers are just unstoppable.

"You are such a money-loser! I told you not to go scavenging with Chenxi, but you still went! Now your legs are broken, and you can't sell them for money! Are you worthy of your brother and your younger brother?" At this moment, a hysterical curse came from a distance.

Su Ding looked over and saw a group of people gathered together watching the excitement.

He frowned slightly.

The content of these words made him think of something.

Then, Su Ding walked over and saw a middle-aged woman beating a young girl with a flat stick.

The girl's head and body were covered with blood marks from being beaten. There was even a cut on her head, and blood was flowing from her forehead.

However, she ignored the beating and just stared blankly ahead.

Su Ding recognized the girl at a glance.

The other party was Li Jingan, who had mined with him yesterday.

However, the other party seemed to be in a bad condition. His eyes were empty and there was a sense of death in them, like a wooden sculpture.

One of her feet looked bumpy, as if it had been gnawed by something.

Su Ding looked at Li Jingan's dead eyes and suddenly understood why Li Jingan gave up his life to save them.

Because Li Jingan...has long wanted to stop living.

This explains why Li Jingan was indifferent to Xiong Qian's unreasonable behavior while mining.

How could a person who is open-minded about everything care about these things?
