Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

"Boss, how do you sell this monkey face?"

At the front door, there is a shop specializing in selling various woodworking, bamboo carvings and other handicrafts. Xiang Yunduan pointed at a monkey face mask hanging on the wall and said.

After coming out of the commissioned store, he came to the front gate of the large fence.

He thought about it and figured out that if he wanted to hide his face when he went shopping in the black market, he would still have to rely on a mask. This was the simplest and most straightforward thing to do.

There’s no way anyone would just take off their mask, right?

It happened that he had seen a shop selling masks near Dashilan before, so he came over.

"Oh, don't dare call me boss, we are all gay. This mask is not an ordinary monkey face, but the Monkey King!" said a bald man in his fifties behind the counter.

"What's wrong with the Monkey King? Aren't they just ordinary masks? Is it possible that this thing is more expensive than other masks?"

Xiang Yunduan said strangely.

This mask should be carved out of wood, and it is painted with different colors of ink. It looks really alive and the craftsmanship is very good.

But just because it depicts the Monkey King, it shouldn’t be more expensive than others, right? This doesn't make sense.

"It's expensive, of course it's expensive, but don't worry, comrade, you'll understand it as soon as you see it!"

The boss took the monkey face mask off the wall, but did not hand it to Xiang Yunduan in a hurry. Instead, he held the mask and showed it from different directions.

At this moment, Xiang Yunduan immediately understood the extraordinary nature of this mask.

It turns out that this mask actually shows different faces when viewed from different directions.

It looks like a monkey from the front, but from the side it turns into a tiger's head, and from the other side it turns into a dragon's head.

In just a few moments, the boss showed Xiang Yunduan five or six faces on one mask.

"It's amazing. This skill is really incredible. Although there are no seventy-two transformations, if you can have these five or six transformations, you can already be called the Monkey King!"

Xiang Yunduan gave a thumbs up and praised it, and then continued to ask: "How much? I want it, just this one!"

"Fifty cents!" the boss said anxiously.

This mask was made by accident, and it is impossible to repeat it now, because he has not figured out the secret yet, and now he can only present a mask with three changes at most.

It was too cheap, but he wasn't willing to do it. It was too expensive, and no one wanted it. After all, a pound of meat only cost 68 cents, so he was very confused.

But what the boss didn't expect was that Xiang Yunduan didn't even respond to the price and just paid 50 cents.

"Aren't you going to see something else?" When the boss saw Xiang Yunduan paying and leaving, he couldn't help but said. After all, there were not many such heroic guests.

Seeing what the boss said, Xiang Yunduan walked around the store again. There were a lot of gadgets in the store, such as bamboo whistles, wooden paintings, wooden monkeys (tops), bamboo guns, bamboo dragonflies, ghost balls, and Luban locks. etc.

Especially the wood-carved craftsman ball, although it only has three layers and is far inferior to the ivory-carved craftsman ball with more than 70 layers in the Forbidden City, it can still be seen that the boss's craftsmanship is extraordinary.

If this is left to future generations and I become the master of the arts and crafts area, I guess it won't be a big problem to have millions of fans.

"How much does that wooden slider cost?"

Xiang Yunduan looked around, and finally settled on a wooden slider that could play the Huarong Road game. He planned to take it home for his little sister to play. This kind of puzzle game is still very interesting. Just think of it as a preschool for your little sister. Educated.

"It's not expensive, only thirty cents!" the boss said with a smile.

Xiang Yunduan paid directly.

……

"Brother, how are you? Have you met your sister-in-law?"

As soon as he got home, Xiang Yunlong couldn't wait to ask, with a curious look on his face.

"Sister-in-law, don't scream!" Xiang Yunduan said angrily.

"What's wrong? I haven't seen anyone or haven't taken a fancy to him?" Xiang Yunlong asked quickly when he saw that his elder brother was a little unhappy.

"Not interested!"

Xiang Yunduan replied, seeing that his brother was still asking, he quickly stopped him. This kid was not going to finish, and he was planning to break the casserole and ask to the end.

"Go, go, go outside and practice cycling. I haven't eaten yet!"

Xiang Yunduan waved his brother away.

I originally planned to eat outside, but I gave Old Man Dong four yuan and spent another eight cents on masks and Huarong Road. I really have no money in my pocket. I just have a few cents left to have a meal in the factory cafeteria at noon tomorrow. Waiting for wages to be paid.

While cooking, Xiang Yunduan took the monkey brother's mask over again and began to mobilize his luck to strengthen it.

Originally, he just bought a random mask, but this mask could change into several faces, which aroused his curiosity, and he was ready to try strengthening it to see if it could produce any special effects.

After this period of experimentation, Xiang Yunduan also figured out a general rule, that is, the higher the level of the item, the greater the probability that it will have a unique effect.

Of course, this advanced level refers to comparing similar items with each other.

For example, the items he had enhanced before, such as the wolf fang pendant, were higher than ordinary necklaces and the like. Things like bicycles and butcher knives were ordinary items, and the enhanced effects were naturally mediocre.

This face-changing mask is undoubtedly an advanced one among masks, and it should probably be able to enhance some special effects.

Three consecutive strengthening attempts ended in failure.

However, Xiang Yunduan is not discouraged. During this period, his luck has not been used much. He has saved a lot, so he doesn't feel bad about wasting it at all.

The most important thing is that the more difficult it is to strengthen something, the better the effect will be after it is successfully strengthened.

Finally, when the eighteenth channel of luck was consumed, the mask was successfully strengthened!

Item: Mask (Bronze)

Effect: Wear it and have seventy-two different faces (cannot change into real people). Each time it lasts for an unlimited time. However, after taking it off, if you want to use it again, you must wait for forty-eight hours.

Looking at the mask in his hand, Xiang Yunduan resisted not putting it on. Tomorrow was Friday and he was going to explore the black market. If he put it on now, he wouldn't be able to play with it tomorrow night. He couldn't keep wearing it until tomorrow. Bar.

"This effect is almost what I expected from the bottom of my heart!"

When Xiang Yunduan bought this mask, he was thinking that if the enhancement was successful, it would have effects like Brother Monkey's seventy-two transformations. Now it seems that it is indeed the same.

And there is another difference in this enhancement, that is, the level of the mask has directly reached the bronze level.

When he strengthened it just now, he used white luck. Strengthening to the bronze level was really a stroke of luck.

Putting the mask back into the space, the meal was ready at this time. Xiang Yunduan filled his stomach and soon fell asleep.

the next day.

Xiang Yunduan killed four pigs in a row in the morning. Now he has learned to be lazy and started to leave a lot of work to Wang Shitou and Zhang Dahe.

At this point, instead of being angry, the two of them were very happy, because when they were working, Xiang Yunduan would give serious instructions. This opportunity was not available to everyone.
