Last Totem Novel - Chapter 24
Chapter 24 Malin
The sun slowly rose to the east of Sand City. Dawn shone on the chimneys that towered into the clouds. As time passed, the sun slowly moved to the ground.
A series of bells rang in the sky above Sand City, announcing the beginning of a new day.
At this moment, Sand City’s Central Street woke up with the bell ringing. The shops on the street opened their doors to welcome the factory’s tide of work and the tide of dismissal. Those who go to work need to eat breakfast, while those who go off work need to eat snacks, go shopping, drink, pick up girls, get soaked …
During this period, most restaurants, bars and grocery stores are bustling with daily necessities. Because this is the alternate time between the morning and evening shifts in the factory, all the workers will squeeze together to consume. Compared to the surging crowds in the front and back sections of Central Street, the middle section was deserted. The shops here were all very big, and all of them sold high-end goods.
After one o’clock in the afternoon, the crowd in front of and behind Central Street would gradually disperse. Rich people in Sand City usually get up at this time. After lunch, which was equivalent to breakfast, they would go shopping in the middle of Central Street. There are the most upscale restaurants, hotels, clothing stores, jewelry stores, motorcycle shops, gun shops, pharmacies, hospitals, banks and so on in Sand City.
It was nine o’clock in the morning, and there were only a few scattered people walking in the middle of Central Street. At this time, a girl dressed in a black suit turned into the street from the alley. She wore high heels ten centimeters high on her feet, but she walked so fast that her round butt twisted and trembled non-stop. The few pedestrians on the street were all attracted by her’thump thump ‘sound and glanced at her raised butt.
The girl didn’t seem to notice the gazes in her surroundings. She raised her head and stared at the Silver Hawk Motorcycle 4S Shop. This woman’s name was Su Yun. She was the imperial account manager of this 4S store and was mainly responsible for the sales of Silver Eagle motorcycles. Su Yun’s mood was very bad now, because it was her turn to work early today. It was an awkward time, with no business to do in the morning. At noon, those who had just woken up would not come to the motorcycle shop. Only after three o’clock in the afternoon would those interested in buying motorcycles come over one after another. But by that time, she was almost off work.
At this moment, Su Yun saw a red motorcycle parked in front of the motorcycle shop. On the motorcycle sat a black-clothed youth. From the looks of it, this youth was waiting for the 4S store to open. Thinking of business coming to her door, Su Yun’s mood became cheerful. She walked quickly to the shop and opened the glass door. The youth followed behind her and entered the 4S Motorcycle Shop.
“Hello, sir. May I help you?” Su Yun revealed a professional smile.
“I’ll just casually take a look.”
Hearing the youth’s reply, Su Yun’s heart instantly cooled by more than half. Usually, the person who said this was just looking at it. However, Emperor Account Manager Su Yun was still well aware of the truth that people could not be judged by their appearances, so she still asked without changing her expression, “Sir …”
“Don’t call me sir. I’m not that old either.” The youth interrupted her.
“Then what should I call you?” Although Su Yun had eaten a mouthful, she still maintained a smile.
“My surname is Tie. Call me …” The youth thought for a moment and said, “Call me Mr. Tie.”
I asked her not to call her “Mr.” just now, but now I ask her to call her “Mr. Tie”. Su Yun was instantly enraged, but her good professionalism still allowed her to quickly calm down. She knew that there was a kind of human called “local tyrant” in this world. Although these people weren’t very talkative and cultivated, they were magnanimous, unyielding, and generous. The youth in front of him was quite handsome. Although his skin was a little dark, the lines on his face and body were firm and resolute. It is said that the most fashionable thing in the current rich woman circle is to maintain this type of little black horse.
“Hello, Mr. Tie. We have the best motorcycle in Sand City.” Facing this little black horse, Su Yun unconsciously changed “you” into “you”.
“I’ll just casually take a look.” The youth said indifferently.
Su Yun felt her chest tightness for a moment, and her eyes turned black. Can’t this little black horse say something else? Su Yun gritted her teeth and asked, “What kind of model do you want to see and what kind of bike do you want to buy?”
“Sand Sea Flying Fish.”
Then, Su Yun brought the little black horse to the front of a silver-white motorcycle. This locomotive is more than three meters long. Its body is thinner than an ordinary locomotive. The whole locomotive looks like a knife. Four small airbags are installed on each side of the locomotive. These small airbags are mainly used for locomotive floating. In addition, a fuel injector is installed at the rear of the locomotive, the main function of which is to provide propulsion.
“Hello, Mr. Tie, this sandfish can reach 300 km/h in normal mode; The speed can reach 450km/h when the auxiliary power is fully switched on; Finally, if a full jet mode is used, the speed of 550 km/h can be achieved; Moreover, this type of sand sea flying fish is loaded with the newly developed ‘Ocean’ capacitor of HH Company, and it can last for 20 minutes in full jet mode. “Su Yun introduced very skillfully. She had to say these words several times a day.
“How much is it?” The youth asked.
“This type of flying fish only costs 680 gold coins. If Mr. Tie can place an order today, I can ask the supervisor to give you a discount.”
“This is robbing money!” The youth exclaimed.
“Hello, sir, we won’t rob …” Listening to the youth’s words, Su Yun habitually replied. In the end, halfway through her words, she felt that she had said something wrong. She blushed and bit her lips, “Sir … sir … sir …”
Just as Su Yun was speaking incoherently, the youth walked away with his hands behind his back. Su Yun watched the little black horse’s long back, so angry that her chest heaved violently. The pair of plump chests seemed to be about to burst out of her clothes.
Tie Zha walked out of the motorcycle shop and touched his money bag. He thought that 200 gold was not enough to buy half a flying fish. However, the performance of this sandfish was not much higher than that of the red comet. The crux of the matter was that the Sandsea Flying Fish was far too large and not as agile as the Red Comet. If it was just speed, the flying fish would definitely win over the red comet. But when it comes to cycling, sandfish may not be as good as red comets.
This morning, Tie Zha returned to Sand City from Furnace Town. He didn’t encounter any trouble along the way. After all, he was the only one who came back. A single man, who seemed to have no money and was fierce, would normally not be provoked by anyone in such a situation. When they crossed the Rock Bridge, the group of people from before had already changed their defenses. The newcomers had an unusual rule that they would only charge Tie Zha a silver coin for crossing the bridge. It seems that You Ge’s threatening words have worked.
After Tie Zha left the motorcycle shop, he turned around and entered a gun shop on Central Street. The firearms shop had a large front and a sign for a lightning hammer hung at the door. This was a branch of the Thunder Warhammer, one of the Four Great Arms Traders of the Northern Wilderness Continent, in Sand City. Mainly engaged in a variety of old-era firearms and cold weapons.
There were all kinds of long spears and short cannons in the gun shop. The iron slag spun around and found no suitable weapon for its own use. At this moment, the manager of the gun shop welcomed him. He looked at the iron slag carrying an old-fashioned wooden shotgun with a double barrel and a rough straight machete. He immediately lost his spirits and asked weakly, “Little brother, do you think we have any suitable weapons here?”
“I want to find a more powerful pistol.” Said Tie Zha. He watched You Ge use a pistol during this period of time and felt that it was quite convenient. He could immediately shoot when he pulled it out, so he decided to buy one. However, Youge’s pistol was too weak and useless to him.
Then the manager took Tie Zha around the shop and introduced him to several pistols. Among them are USP manufactured by HK Company, CLOCK18 manufactured by GLK Company, Black Star, P228 and so on. Tie Zha looked at the muzzle caliber and shook his head. Finally, the manager introduced him to a pistol called “Eagle”. The. 4-4 silver pistol can hold seven rounds of ammunition and is said to be as powerful as a rifle.
Iron slag tried his hand and felt quite satisfied, so he asked the manager how much money he needed. The manager told him to ask for 120 gold. Tie Zha felt that it was too expensive and immediately returned the gun to the manager.
After leaving the gun shop, Tie Zha went to the back alley of Sand City. Originally, he thought that with 200 gold in his pocket, he would be able to wander around Central Street. However, the cruel truth told him that 200 gold was not money at all in Central Street. If he didn’t have a few thousand gold coins, he might as well go shopping in Tail Alley.
Tail Alley was the second-hand goods trading area of Sand City, and it was also a place for underground transactions. Shopping here must be introduced by an acquaintance, otherwise they will definitely be pissed off. Tie Zha had a familiar second-hand gun shop here. The owner was from Tieshan Town, and he had once taught Old Niu some mechanic knowledge.
Soon, Tie Zha arrived at the door of the second-hand gun shop. This was a very small shop, only about ten square meters, located in an inconspicuous corner of Tail Alley. If you don’t look carefully, you’ll think it’s a toilet. At this moment, the door of the shop was not closed, only a dirty canvas curtain was drawn.
The iron slag lifted the curtain and walked in. The light inside was very dim and could only barely see the object. The shop was filled with all kinds of firearms and their parts, and the air was filled with the smell of kerosene. Tie Zha glanced at it and found that the owner was not in the shop. So he cleared his throat and shouted, “Old Niu, his master, iron slag is here to buy something!”
At this moment, a figure rolled out of the pile of parts in the corner. Tie Zha fixed his eyes and saw a skinny old man with gray hair lying on the ground, his entire body emitting a strong smell of alcohol. The old man seemed to be quite frightened by his loud roar, and his entire body trembled slightly.
After a while, under the gaze of the iron slag, the old man slowly got up and said, “Iron brat, my old bones are about to fall apart from your fright.”
Tie Zha grinned and said, “Old Niu, his master, I’ve earned some money. I’m going to buy something.”
The old man snorted coldly and stretched out his hand to the iron slag. “I haven’t settled the bill from last time.”
Tie Zha simply took out twenty gold coins and handed them to the old man. The old man instantly became spirited. He groped around for a while, took out a single pair of glasses and put it on. He carefully counted the gold coins.
“Twenty? You only owe eighteen last time. That’s too much.” The old man said.
Tie Zha waved his hand and said that he would drink some extra wine. The old man smiled and put away the gold coins. Then, he asked about the purpose of the iron slag.
“Tie brat, I have a good gun here. You will definitely like it.” After the old man finished speaking, he drilled into the pile of parts and rummaged around. After a while, just as Tie Zha was about to get impatient, the old man finally took out an old tarpaulin package. The parcel was covered in dust and was wrapped in adhesive tape over and over again. From the looks of it, the old man still cherished this item.
After opening the package, there was an ancient wooden box inside. The old man stroked the wooden box and sighed. “This was given to me by an old friend of mine, but I’m too old to use this gun. I’ll give it to you.”
After saying that, the old man opened the wooden box. A large revolver and ten silver bullets were placed side by side in the wooden box. The revolver’s body is made of stainless steel and its hilt is wrapped in black carbon fiber. Tie Zha picked up the pistol and felt that his hand was very heavy.
“This gun is called the Smith Wesson M500. It’s a 5-shot revolver, commonly known as the Merlin revolver. It’s. 50 caliber. It’s twice as powerful as a Desert Eagle with the same caliber!”
Tie Zha heard that this large revolver was even more powerful than the Desert Eagle, and he couldn’t let go of it any longer.
“Alright, that’s it.” As he spoke, Tie Zha picked up the bullets and loaded them into the revolving wheel. Then, he pinned the pistol to his waist and put the remaining bullets into his pocket. Then, the old man explained to Tie Zha that this gun only had these ten bullets. Because the guns were specially customized back then, they were rare in quantity, and now they are no longer in production.
“It’s fine. Anyway, I don’t have many chances to use my pistol.” “Fifty gold.” “Didn’t you say it was for me?” “I didn’t say I wouldn’t accept money. Don’t bully the old man.” “I owe you first, so you don’t have to buy wine.”
After saying that, the iron slag flew away, leaving the old man beating his chest and stamping his feet in the shop.
