In order to take care of her injured father, my mother went out to buy a whole chicken for dinner on Friday, spending one yuan and a half in coupons.
However, after the stew was cooked, with his father's insistence and mother's acquiescence, most of it ended up in Shen Rui's stomach again...
Shen Rui had nothing to say and continued to practice hard at night until 2 a.m. before going to rest.
Over the course of one night, both arms were covered with protective film.
This is only the fourth day after his rebirth, from Tuesday to Friday, and he has already cultivated to this point.
As for the others in the class, the fastest one had just started to train his arms, which was a big step behind him.
Shen Rui knew that on the one hand, this was due to the attribute increase brought by the golden finger, and on the other hand, it was also because the risk of training the arm was low. According to the teacher, one could make brave progress without looking forward and backward.
On Saturday morning, I got up at six o'clock.
Shen Rui had already planned what he would do today last night.
Get a long gun, get used to horsemanship, and then find a bow or crossbow and some arrows.
Even if some people are surprised by this, they have plenty of reasons to hide it; compared with this risk, the most important thing is to increase the immediate combat capability and avoid the helpless situation like yesterday.
Shen Rui no longer wore his school uniform, but put on ordinary home clothes, a white long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans.
He took out the circulation coupon borrowed by Teacher Liu from the inner pocket of his school uniform and counted 200 yuan from it, which was enough for him to purchase weapons.
As for the excuse, he had already found it.
In fact, even if he doesn't do these things, after a month, as long as he performs well in the exam, he can still get rations from the school.
But he couldn't wait a month.
Whether it's the hidden malice or worries about his parents, he must quickly possess his own fighting power.
After getting up, he hurriedly ate a much richer breakfast, a portion of polenta, two eggs, and two steamed buns.
Then he said to his mother: "Mom, you will take care of my dad at home today, and I will go to school for training. By the way, I will practice equestrian skills with that old horse."
"Well, let me give you the horse tag first." Shen's mother quickly went to the bedroom and began to look for Shen's father's clothes.
I just looked through it and couldn't find it. Just when Shen's mother was wondering, she saw her husband getting up from the bed.
"Why are you up if you don't rest? The child needs to practice equestrian skills on a horse." Shen's mother was confused and walked to the bed to help Shen's father up.
"You don't need to help me. I slept this night and I feel completely healed. I was beaten several times with sticks by those mutated savages before, but now I don't feel anything at all." Father Shen said strangely.
"That's great, I can work in the fields again today..." Mother Shen said happily.
When Father Shen heard this, he lay back on the bed silently.
"The horse tag is in my jacket pocket. When I returned to the city, I had asked my neighbor to put the life-saving old horse in the stable outside the city. The stable is less than 500 meters northeast of the city, a stone's throw away from the east gate. You can see it just by looking. My head still hurts a little, so I will go to work in the fields at noon."
…
In Luzhoubao, in the north of the city, there is a street full of blacksmith shops.
Shen Rui was riding a bicycle. As soon as he entered this street, he was greeted by a wave of heat and the noisy sound of blacksmithing.
There are blacksmith shops on both sides of the street, both government-run and private.
The government-owned iron shop occupies the best and largest area. There is no advertisement at the door, except for a sign saying "Luzhou Government-owned Iron Works".
Private hospitals can only occupy some corners, and there are all kinds of advertisements at the entrance, just like the difference between public and private hospitals in the previous life.
"New superconducting new materials have increased the transmission efficiency of special particles by 50%!"
"Titanium alloy gun head, indestructible!"
"Big sale, buy one get one free."
In this apocalyptic world, due to the emergence of special particles, the power of firearms and bullets has been greatly reduced. These cold weapons have become popular again. Coupled with the destruction of the modern industrial chain, the ancient industry of blacksmithing has once again flourished.
There are so many people coming and going on the street, maybe it's because of the weekend.
Some people were carrying spears, some were carrying hoes, and some were pushing carts loaded with coal as they walked toward various blacksmith shops.
Shen Rui looked back and forth carefully several times, finally put down the car and walked into the shop with the big sale sign...
There is a storefront in front of the shop, and a yard is connected to the back.
There are a variety of weapons and farm tools displayed in the store, including gun heads, sickles, kitchen knives, etc.
You can see the yard at a glance from the store. In the yard, there are hillock-like coal stones piled in the open air. In a shed in the corner, there is a large stack of steel blocks.
In addition, there was a stove that was being lit, a few sets of old machines with no appearance, and a whetstone. Next to the whetstone, there was a pile of gleaming arrows.
Seeing Shen Rui looking inside, the boss said enthusiastically: "What I use here are all high-quality automobile steel plates. The ones removed from those old cars are all modern alloy steel. The heads of the knives and guns made are put on the In ancient times, it was an absolute divine weapon, one of the top ten famous swords, and it could be broken with just one cut!"
The owner of the iron shop eagerly advertised his shop. He could tell at a glance that this boy who looked like a high school student had a sense of urgency hidden in his seemingly calm face.
It’s best to kill this kind of customer!
The boss's judgment was correct. When Shen Rui saw the pile of arrows, he made up his mind.
He immediately asked: "Boss, your buy-one-get-one-free offer isn't just buying a long gun and getting an arrow as a gift, right?"
"Well, brother, you are really an expert..." the boss said sarcastically, "Looking at my brother's kindness, I will give you a round of blood today, order a long gun, and give you two arrows!"
"Okay, I want ready goods," Shen Rui had no time to bargain, and he was confident in his ability to make money in the future. "A long gun, the longer the better, and then a bow, 60 arrows."
"The spear doesn't matter, it's just this bow..."
"What, is it out of stock?" Shen Rui said calmly.
"Of course there is stock, but the bow is a little more expensive and needs to be registered." The owner of the iron shop was confused.
"Oh, that's right. I'm a student in No. 1 Middle School. I ordered these things to practice in advance. This is my student card." Shen Rui took out his ID card very readily.
There is no need to forge these things. After all, they must be used openly. Anyone who is interested can know which blacksmith shop they ordered from by just asking.
After registering Shen Rui's ID, the boss took Shen Rui to the underground warehouse.
The underground warehouse is entirely made of concrete and is very dry.
On the weapons rack inside, there are various weapons, all of which are cold weapons.
Shen Rui first looked at the shelf where the gun was stored.
The long guns placed on the racks range from short to long. The short ones are just over one meter long, while the long ones are over 8 meters long. They need to span several weapon racks to fit them.
When Shen Rui played games before, there was only one criterion for choosing a long gun, the longer the better.
Because it has an advantage when hedging, it is not easy to be hit by infantry.
Of course, the disadvantages of this kind of gun are also very obvious. When you enter the city at night and fight with the assassins who attack you, you will end up being abused. The swing speed is slow and the impact is inaccurate.
But as long as the equipment is replaced in time, it will be fine.
Shen Rui pointed to the longest one and said, "That's the one."
The boss looked up, surprised, and said subconsciously: "Brother, this kind of super long gun is rarely used now. It is not suitable for personal use. There is no flexibility at all. Do you want to think about it again?"
"No need, I think it's very good." The more Shen Rui looked at it, the more he liked it. For this game, let's do a spear sprint, and shoot unparalleled directly on the battlefield. It's as fun as you want.
If he didn't want to attract too much attention, he would have asked his boss to customize a 20-meter long gun!
"Well, at least it's effective against those clumsy monsters." The boss was already sure that this was a monster, and it was also a leek that could be harvested continuously.
He then persuaded: "In fact, our store has also introduced some superconducting materials, which can better transmit specific particles, thereby increasing the armor-breaking effect."
"How much?" Shen Rui asked directly.
"It only costs 50 yuan to modify it. After all, this gun is a bit too long." The boss gritted his teeth.
"Let's see about other things first." Shen Rui didn't agree, after all, he didn't have much money on hand.
Then there are the bows and arrows.
After seeing it, Shen Rui was very disappointed, because the bows placed on the weapon shelves were all relatively simple wooden bows, not the modern bows and arrows of the previous life.
Although he knows very little about bows and arrows, thanks to the Olympic Games, he still knows some styles of modern bows and arrows, including pulley bows and compound bows.
But these are simple bows made by bending ordinary wooden poles and adding a steel string. I am afraid that they will lose their elasticity and be scrapped in a short time.
Thinking about it, the craftsmanship of a good traditional bow is actually extremely complicated. Not many people could make it in the previous life, let alone this apocalypse.
As for those modern bows and arrows, I am afraid only a few families can afford them.
Shen Rui casually picked up a simple wooden bow, stretched out his hand and pulled it gently with some force.
He doesn't force it, after all, he still has skill bonuses and basic damage is guaranteed, so he can only choose the general among the shorter ones.
At this time, he quietly opened the game panel, the game interface appeared in front of him, and then he clicked on the "Items" column.
The character equipment bar appeared. He moved the mouse to the handheld equipment, and sure enough, a game prompt appeared.
