Along the main road at the east gate of the Academy, the shops on both sides basically use Yuanshi as the main payment currency. Only some products can be purchased by ordinary people with gold and silver.
There are only a few places like Shengyin Tower that have a floor dedicated to ordinary people. It’s no wonder that the seats are still packed on rainy days.
Wei Feng felt like he was in another world here. In the past, in Moshi Village and Sanglin County, he had never heard of the existence of practitioners. However, the items on the shelves of the store he just passed by were actually used by practitioners. Spiritual soldiers.
Things that are considered secretive in the border area are open and transparent to everyone here.
Not only that, Wei Feng even saw the exotic beast shop and the elixir shop. Forget the former, the latter really confused him. Didn't it mean that the medicinal materials for cultivation were very rare?
Halfway through the afternoon, the rain finally stopped, and Wei Feng stopped in front of an archery studio. This shop mainly serves two types of customers. One is the candidates taking the preliminary examination of the Academy, who are used to practice archery, and the other is the Academy. For the disciples themselves, business is particularly booming in August every year.
There is also an archery gym inside the academy. The reason why this store is still profitable outside the academy is that its core competitiveness lies in the fact that there are many famous teachers who specialize in archery.
It's not that there are no archery teachers in the Academy, but the teachers only teach during class. If you want to practice more after class, you have to rely on your personal relationship with the archery teacher. The teacher is not obliged to teach outside of class time.
Therefore, those academy disciples who do not want to practice on their own can pay a sum of yuan stones to hire a famous teacher for guidance in this store.
When Wei Feng walked into the store, the receptionist immediately came forward, diligently introduced the business to Wei Feng and asked him what services he needed.
Archery in the store is charged based on time. Customers do not need to bring their own bows and arrows. The store can provide them for free. Of course, if customers want to buy them, there are also long and short bows of various prices available.
The waiter was still chattering about the business, but Wei Feng had already set his sights on the shelves.
The bows sold here vary in quality, ranging from ordinary short bows to spirit weapons with complex patterns.
"How do you sell this?" Wei Feng casually took out a bow that looked similar to a novice's longbow.
"Sir, this bow costs one hundred and fifty taels. If you buy it, I can give you a tube of arrows." Here, a tube of arrows usually defaults to thirty.
Wei Feng nodded secretly. The price itself was on the high side, but with thirty arrows, it was still fair. Better swords were not cheap, and bows were even more expensive. He did not hesitate and bought it on the spot.
"Give me another hour to open the venue." Wei Feng said again.
"Sir, do you need a fixed target or a moving target? The charges are different." The young man smiled brightly. There were only a few guests who were as straightforward as Wei Feng. It was a little lucky to meet one today, so he introduced the business. Come and work extra hard.
Without waiting for Wei Feng to ask, he took the initiative and said: "The moving target is a place where our boss invites formation masters to arrange formation simulations. It is very similar to the academy examination room. If you need it, you can also ask our famous teachers here to explain the examination techniques." …”
"Then let's open a mobile shooting range." Wei Feng interrupted his chatter.
"Okay, I'll charge you fifty taels an hour."
Wei Feng didn't ask why it was so expensive and paid the money directly. He knew that if he asked, the boy would most likely start talking about the cost of maintaining the formation.
If we want to talk about a black shop, it has to be here, Wei Feng sighed in his heart, wondering if he should go back and change the charge of his shop to ten taels of silver an hour. At least he can still provide his own exclusive fruit tea, which is exclusive!
Thinking in his mind, he followed the boy into the venue. It looked like a normal shooting range, but as the formation started, targets that moved erratically soon appeared.
The young man withdrew wisely. Wei Feng put away his tube of arrows, moved a few tubes of arrows provided by the shop from the side and put them at his feet for later use. He casually took out an arrow and shot it without aiming. An arc accurately hit a target that was about to move.
The target sometimes jumps and sometimes stops. Although there is no pattern to this kind of movement, Wei Feng always feels that this movement trajectory is inexplicably familiar, and it is particularly smooth to shoot at this time.
It wasn't until it was getting late that Wei Feng came out of the store with a bow and an arrow on his back, bought some meat and vegetables on the way and returned to the bookstore.
As soon as he turned to the bookstore street, Wei Feng's eyes lit up. He spotted two figures, one large and one small, stopping in front of the bookstore. He quickly walked a few steps to get closer.
The smaller figure seemed to be aware of it, and turned his head to look this way. The two people happened to meet their eyes, and the small figure quickly tugged on the person next to him.
"Cao'er, Buji, you've come to Feiniao Town too." Wei Feng greeted with a smile.
"Brother Wei Feng." Bu Ji was pulled over by Cao'er, with some joy on his dull face. Apparently he didn't expect to meet his only acquaintance when he first came to the town.
"When did you arrive?" Wei Feng walked over quickly and asked as he handed over the meat and vegetables he was carrying to Bu Ji for help, so that he could free his hands to open the door, his movements smooth and natural.
Bu Ji was startled and immediately reacted to catch it. Then he watched Wei Feng push open the door of "Qidian Bookstore" and waved the two of them in.
Seeing the two people hesitate a little, Wei Feng asked strangely: "Why don't you come in? Are you blaming me for disappearing without taking you with me?"
Bu Ji hurriedly wanted to explain, but he was still thinking about how to word it, and Cao'er said for the first time: "No, Brother Wei Feng, it was this uncle who just asked us to go in and choose a calligraphy and painting."
This was not the first time Wei Feng heard her speak, but he was still surprised by the lark-like voice. He soon noticed that Master Yu was sitting on his rocking chair again at some point, his eyes narrowed slightly. This way.
With Wei Feng's current perception, even without staring, he can feel the movement trajectories and general movements of other people around him. But Yu Zhaizhu is different. As long as he is not staring at Wei Feng, it is difficult for Wei Feng to sense Yu Zhai. There is no information about the owner, so I didn’t notice him just now.
Before Wei Feng could react, Master Yu spoke first: "I let you choose, not the boy next to you."
His words were correcting what Cao'er said about "us". Wei Feng felt that "that boy" must refer to Bu Ji. Of course, if he also wanted to join in the fun, then this could also refer to him.
But Cao'er held Bu Ji's hand tightly and bravely replied: "Then we won't go... we have no money." She originally wanted to just say the previous sentence, but after a moment of hesitation, her momentum finally weakened. , explained involuntarily.
As soon as she finished speaking, Master Yu's hand that was about to hold the teacup suddenly froze, and he glared at Wei Feng angrily, then pointed at him and said to Cao'er: "You can just come and choose, let this boy pay. "
Wei Feng has a toothache. Why is this feeling of eating melon on himself so familiar? He shrugged and expressed his acquiescence. None of them mentioned that the title of Master Yu had changed from you to you.
The clever Cao'er decisively gave Master Yu a bright smile: "Thank you, uncle." Then he winked at Wei Feng and walked in.
Wei Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he followed behind. He, Bu Ji and Cao'er were walking all the way. It's not like he didn't know Cao'er's character. Even though he was as kind as him, Cao'er was always on guard at the beginning. How did he end up here? Suddenly he became lively, or rather... Wei Feng looked at Master Yu Zhai.
