Chapter 59: The Ring of Fortune
By the time he reacted and reached the door, the womans figure had long since disappeared and all that could be seen in the night was heavy rain.
It seems that it is impossible to get the money back. Muttering to himself, he got back to the cafe while shaking his head.
Coke in the corner narrowed his eyes and licked his paws.
To be honest, it had been a little hungry lately.
Maybe, its time to go out to eat something.
Shen Yi continued to experiment, but no matter how much he tried he still couldnt able to use the new capabilities freely, and the reinforcement was still elusive and ineffective.
He had tried very hard to keep his full attention, but in the end, there was no effect at all.
Lets put it on hold for now. Shen Yi pinched his chin, a little helpless.
As for weapons
He tossed the silver bead in his hand upwards, turning it into a black cane once again.
But this time, he added a little unusual design to it.
He closed his eyes, first imagining the overall appearance of the cane in his mind, and then imagining the black serrations on one side of the cane.
Change.
With the preset idea, the weapon can be changed in an instant. Without the preset idea it needs to be conceived for a period of time.
Obviously, at the time of battle, there was often not as much time for meditation so it was necessary for him to learn things as much as he could.
However, the things that he hadnt been clear about cannot be changed through predetermined ideas.
For example, he didnt know the specific structure of firearms, so no matter what he couldnt change the real firearms Therefore, attempts to make curry sticks and Gundams also failed.
Just the structure of the sawtooth doesnt seem to be enough. Well, maybe we need to think about the medium-range attack method.
After thinking for a while, he closed his eyes again, and began to let the cane in his mind have a third form.
In addition to the serrations, a new thread was added that could rotate outwards, making the cane turn into a long whip in an instant.
Opening his eyes, he saw that the change had been successful.
He threw the whip in his hand, and a sound of breaking through the air was heard.
Well, its a lot better, and its gentle enough to use.
He swung the whip a few more times and had another thought in his mind.
Once the gun certificate is issued, I can disassemble the structure of the firearm.
Unfortunately, the worlds scientific and technological level has not yet been listed, so it was difficult to search for information. Otherwise, even old-fashioned aircraft, tanks and heavy weapons would have a chance to change.
Of course, the power of a mysterious relic depends more on its essence, and even if it changed its shape, the final lethality would not be greater than melee weapons.
After solving the two problems, he saw the mug fragments in the trash can in the corner and sighed.
Life is really hard without money.
Suddenly his mind came alive: Perhaps, I should try to use the power of the mysterious relic to obtain a certain amount of money, um, without breaking the law.
The key lies in the transit ring.
In fact, he hadnt really use it for several months.
To be more precise, he just recently learned from Yares memory that it turned out that the transit ring was not effective just by wearing it in his hand.
Rather, it needed to be tapped three times in a row to stimulate its power.
Of course, Shen Yi didnt dare to knock it three times right now, because its night, and bad luck would come at night.
Lets go to sleep, wait until the daytime to try it out, see if the transit ring can bring me good luck?
With the thought of trying tomorrow morning, he peacefully returned to the room again and turned off the light and went back to sleep.
The next morning, he started business as usual.
Compared to before the rain was a lot lighter today, and there were pedestrians passing by in twos or threes outside.
It seems that the heavy rain this time will not be as continuous as last time, and it should end in a while.
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, which was best, and it wont affect the business.
The last rainstorm nearly made the government to issue a flood warning, and almost no customers would come to drink coffee in this kind of weather The ones who still come often were troublesome.
After preparing everything, he put on the silver transit ring while no guests came.
He silently thought about his desire for money, and lightly tapped it on the table three times.
Den! Deng! Deng!
After three knocks, he waited for several minutes, but nothing happened, and even no guests showed up.
All right.
Not knowing when good luck would come he shrugged his shoulders, and decided to open the store normally.
The rain was a lot lighter today, and the cafe was still crowded.
Of course, the number of guests was not very large.
And there was also that female high school student. But this time she didnt look very good, she seemed to have been thinking about something important.
But unlike in the past, she did not take the initiative to communicate with Shen Yi, just sat there calmly.
Shen Yi was neither a caring brother nor a psychiatrist, so he resisted the idea of taking the initiative to talk to her, and even thought, Thats nice. to have not disturbed.
Just then, he heard an old gentleman in a brown suit jacket at table seven lamenting.
Nowadays, a lot of coffee has lost the taste of real coffee. The development of the industrial age has indeed given mankind a lot, but what have we lost in this process? Perhaps its some of the original, ancient flavor.
He smiled and stretched out his hand.
Mr. Storekeeper, please come here for a moment.
Well, what can I do for you?
Shen Yi nodded lightly, he was also one of the regular customers for half a year.
Its just that he only came here once a week, and every time he just sips coffee silently in the corner, and apart from ordering, he hadnt communicated with Shen Yi at all.
Shen Yi still had a bit of an impression of him, not only that he came at a fixed time, but also that he always compared the classic coffee to the new, usually disdaining the latter.
You make very good coffee, young man.
The old gentleman was gray-haired and had a thin body. He looked over seventy, but was still hale and hearty.
With a smile on his face, he said gratefully: Especially the acidity. In my opinion, the acidity of coffee is a lively and bright flavor. If the coffee beans lack acidity, it is the same as losing vitality, tasting empty and tasteless, without layers of depth.
And your coffee seems to have life, and people can enjoy it for a long time after drinking it.
Thank you. Shen Yi sincerely thanked the other party.
What he didnt expect was that the old gentleman actually took out a light yellow envelope and said sincerely.
I love your coffee very much, this cafe is the only place where I can really relax every week.
Apparently, this cafe is a little out of order. Please accept this sponsorship.
Shen Yi was stunned, he had never encountered this kind of thing before, and immediately said, How can I accept this?
The old gentleman explained: Please dont think too much, its just that over the years, I have seen many of my favorite shops close down one by one, which made me realize that love alone can not leave many things. What I am doing is just not wanting to lose a place where I can relax every week.
Shen Yi felt a little ashamed and said, I just love coffee. I believe that a coffee shop is a place where people gather and can feel relaxed and warm their hearts.
Youre talking too much.
The old gentleman thought that the other party was determined not to accept the gift, so he nodded and was about to take back the envelope.
Just then, Shen Yis hands firmly grasped the envelope, smiled gently, and said, I thank you very much for your support, perhaps as you said, I do need to make this place better so that it can keep going on.
Shen Yi hesitated for a while, but still accepted the other partys gift After all, its not good to not give people face.
The old gentleman laughed and said, Haha, thats good, well, maybe my master will like the coffee here too.
Your master? Shen Yi asked incredulously.
The old gentleman nodded and said, Well, I forgot to introduce myself. Im Lord Ferricos butler, Jonas, you may have heard of Ferricos Medical Group.
In fact, he had never heard of it. After all, he hadnt been in this world for a long, but from what the butler said, it should be a big enterprise.
He nodded and said, Mr. Jonas, my name is Shen Yi, its a pleasure to meet you formally.
Jonas wanted to say something, but sighed helplessly.
My break is almost up, I have to go back. In fact, as a personal housekeeper, my personal time is already part of my work.
Shen Yi suddenly understood his fixed schedule. It turned out that every time he came to the coffee shop, he was just taking a break from his busy schedule, and he would probably be very busy the rest of the time.
No wonder he took out the money, hoping that his coffee shop would not go out of business.
Before leaving, Jonas said while taking his hat and umbrella: My master is going to have dinner with Mr. Fred at this time next week. He is looking forward to this meeting, so I will be very busy next week, and should not be able to come.
Speaking of this, Jonas face showed a touch of pride, obviously very proud of his master being able to dine with Mr. Fred.
Mr. Fred was a real big man, and he seemed to have this kind of charismatic charm that attracted many of the upper-class people of Beland to his side.
Shen Yi nodded lightly, and sent the old man away, saying, So thats the case. After all, its Mr. Fred who he is going to meet. We must pay attention to it and look forward to your next visit.
Even Shen Yi has heard of Mr. Fred a big philanthropist who is quite famous in Beland. He has invested in many public welfare organizations. Everyone respects him and praises him as a real gentleman.
In the interview, he sincerely called on people to share more and give more to make the world a better place.
He only knew that such a person existed, but didnt know much after all.
He and the philanthropists who were in the upper class were destined to be in two circles I am afraid we will never meet together.
At night, Shen Yi waited until everyone one leave, then closed the shop and opened the envelope, and looked at the banknotes in surprise.
Enough to renovate the storefront, Im really in disrepair here.
He still remembered the leak in the back hut and lamented that the house was no good.
Later, the gap was blocked by himself.
This night, Shen Yi was in a happy state of mind, very happy, and it was really good to have extraordinary power.
But if you think about it carefully, maybe the so-called transit is just an advance. After all, Jonas was already a loyal customer in the store before I got the ring.
Shen Yi finished writing new ideas in his notes and found that it was very late.
And get ready for bed.
Tonight, he also fell asleep very quickly.
He didnt know how long he had slept, but by the time he opened his eyes again vaguely, the surroundings became blurred.
Everything in the hut became invisible.
He gradually realized in the blur that he didnt seem to really wake up.
Once again came to the dream world.
Dazed. Still in a trance.
He heard a familiar female voice ringing in his ears, someone was calling him, as if praying and chanting, as if whispering and confiding.
He gradually woke up, looked around, and the world was different again.
Once again, he came to a dream world of ashes. The vast ground was paved with scorched leaves, the tall trees were piled up with ashes, and there were no stars in the sky.
The female voice was coming from the other end of the pale woodland.
Is it Aina again? He had a kind of enlightenment in his heart.
But this time it seems to be different. Because the last time he was in the dream world, the Aina he saw was in a completely unconscious state, while this time she was calling him from afar.
No, she was calling the Lord of Ashes.
