63: Chapter 63: Borrowing a Knife for Two Taels of Silver 63: Chapter 63: Borrowing a Knife for Two Taels of Silver One catty of pollution material can be exchanged for ten catties of at, but how many catties can a demon be?
Ga players, known for their intelligence and wisdom, might also consider the difficulty level of the quest when accepting it.
In reality, there’s not so much to consider—just do it, and that’s the end of it.
The rules of gas since ti immorial have been this simple, the best thod to boost morale is to lift a box of gold and silver in front of the troops, kick the box over, and then shout loudly, “Swap heads for cash!”
Then everyone would howl and charge into the fray.
As the old saying goes, people die for wealth, as birds die for food.
The life of a poor person isn’t considered a life, not worth much silver.
When such a rare opportunity to strike it rich cos along, and you still cherish your life, then you deserve to be poor all your life…
Ah, sorry, I reckon you wouldn’t survive to the latter half of your life anyway.
Ten catties of at, ah…
Wang Yunxiao saw a viciousness on the honest face of Gangtou for the first ti.
That evening, returning to the dorm, everyone discussed together.
It was no longer a question of whether to go after the demon, but how to kill it.
“We still need to be cautious though, this thing sounds terrifying.”
At tis like this, Youtiao always can’t resist playing devil’s advocate.
Nurse Liu did not provide detailed information about this demon.
The variety of demons is already vast and strange, not to ntion this is a product of pollution mutation.
It’s like the ocean where nuclear waste water is discharged without restraint; you can’t predict what can be cultivated in it.
It might be a flying red lotus Godzilla.
It could also be an anglerfish wearing a JK uniform, calling you “Ani-gi” when it speaks.
And these mutated demons, they all have their unique dinsions.
Or rather, after they have been polluted, they beco one with the source of the contamination.
It’s like the ghosts in the Netherworld.
Unless it chooses to reveal its true form, Wang Yunxiao and his team can’t catch its tail.
At tis like this, Chen Yan, as the Chess Herald, needs to drag it out of its hiding place.
But during this process, Chen Yan will also be subjected to the demon’s pollution, requiring Jiang Xiaotang, the Advisor, to help her deal with the contamination.
At the sa ti, in reality, Wang Yunxiao and the others need to face the demon’s physical form.
Wang Yunxiao isn’t worried about his brothers; what he’s really concerned about is whether the two girls can handle it.
To be frank, it’s because Chen Yan and Jiang Xiaotang are both good students with rare professions and a bright future ahead of them; there’s no need for them to gamble their lives for a piece of at like these poor, desperate n.
“Why bother with so much, just kill him and it’s done!”
Guozi, as always, spoke without thinking.
“Don’t rush, play it cool.
Wait for the al tomorrow and see if it shows up, then we’ll probe its depth.”
Wang Yunxiao wasn’t afraid of the creature; he just felt that whether it’s a mule or a horse, you have to walk it out to see what it really looks like.
Otherwise, you surely can’t fight with thin air, right?
Youtiao clenched his teeth and said, “It’s a pity we don’t have any handy tools now, or else tomorrow Loach and I could go and get so nails?”
The two types of DIY Demon-Breaking Weapons described in the textbooks take special ti to create, which they might not have for this occasion.
However, the Wolf Fang Club was worth considering; its manufacturing thod didn’t require much skill—the only drawback was that ordinary people found it awkward to use.
These all belonged to the category of heavy weapons with long handles.
Wang Yunxiao looked towards Gangtou, the tallest and strongest in the dorm, and couldn’t help asking, “Can you handle the Wolf Fang Club?”
When it cos to handling it, anyone can, but not everyone can master it.
This thing, if you’re not careful, can easily cause real friendly fire.
Gangtou scratched his head and said innocently with a smile, “Sure!”
“I’m asking if you can do it!”
Gangtou replied blankly, “Then…
shall I give it a try?”
“Exactly!”
Youtiao suddenly slapped his forehead, “Since we can’t make one in ti anyway, why don’t we just go borrow one from the security uncle to try out?”
Wang Yunxiao asked curiously, “Would they lend us one?”
Those security guards usually don’t pay much attention to people.
“I’ll think of a way!”
Youtiao seed confident in his plan.
As a result, the next day, he really did manage to borrow a stick.
Wang Yunxiao weighed it in his hand, it was about ten pounds, not a pure iron weapon, but a wooden stick wrapped in iron sheet with nails, looking just like an extra-long German grenade.
This thing was also known as a Can Opener, used in the past specifically against those Heavy Armored Soldiers, especially the full armor types from Europe.
One swing of this club, and it could smash the crab roe to bits.
Of course, it also made high demands on the user.
Wang Yunxiao himself didn’t find it easy to wield, not because it was too heavy but because using this kind of weapon actually hindered his nimble footwork.
In Gangtou’s hands, though, it seed quite suitable.
Gangtou swung the Wolf Fang Club in his hands a couple of tis and nodded with a smile, “Brother, this works!
I can use it!”
At this ti, Eryang leaned close to Wang Yunxiao and whispered, “Bro, lend two bucks so I can borrow a knife.”
As soon as he said this, everyone turned to look at him.
Eryang, real na Yang Yihang, combined it sounds like Yangyang, so people gave him the nickna Eryang.
Nicknas are quick to change unless they’re particularly distinctive, and later soone sarcastically called him Erhun.
The Erhun from that butcher’s shop.
After pinning him in a corner and giving him a beating, he almost went blind.
Then everyone found out why the butcher’s shop was called Erhun’s.
Eryang didn’t talk much usually, but he was fierce in a fight, much to Guozi’s delight.
While Guozi loved to throw punches in a fight, Eryang preferred to grab a weapon; with a brick in his hand, he could hit whatever he aid at within five ters.
It was only because Wang Yunxiao’s gang was in such a sorry state back then, without even a knife, that no lives were lost.
Wang Yunxiao didn’t ask whom he would borrow the knife from, but instead asked, “What kind of knife is it?
Is it usable?”
Eryang said coldly, “It’s a Slaughter Knife used for killing livestock.
It’s slaughtered hundreds of animals, so it’s definitely usable.
I have an uncle in the Livestock Market who deals in these knives.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yunxiao knew they were in luck.
If blood-soaked nails worked, then a Slaughter Knife would be even more effective.
Speaking of the knife, he rembered seeing one in the student canteen’s kitchen, although how often it had seen blood was debatable.
Considering the canteen’s food standards, the most at it had probably ever seen was inside canned luncheon at.
Two bucks was a lot, but Wang Yunxiao understood the proverb about not catching a wolf without so risk.
Without giving sothing up, how could you expect to get anything back?
He had a solid five taels of silver in his pocket.
Without a word, Wang Yunxiao took it out and tossed it to Eryang.
Youtiao hurriedly shouted, “That’s five taels, rember to bring back the change!”
“I know.”
Eryang took the silver and left.
Youtiao frowned and asked Guozi in a low voice, “How much does a knife cost in the market these days?”
Guozi thought for a mont and said, “It depends on the type.
The one Eryang ntioned, a new one probably costs less than a buck…”
“Less than a buck?”
Youtiao was a bit confused, “A new knife for one buck?
An old knife for two?
And it’s just a loan?”
“But we need an old knife, right?”
Wang Yunxiao waved his hand, “Don’t worry about it, as long as it works.”
Simply preparing weapons was not enough.
He took Nurse Liu’s every word as gospel.
If they didn’t prepare thoroughly, they’d be easily annihilated—this, he believed.
