Jiang Jing was a little surprised and said, "Isn't this nonsense? I definitely want it. How much do you plan to sell it to me?"
Liu Bin rolled his eyes and said: "The original version of the Elf Illustrated Book is now priced at 6,999 yuan in the official flagship store."
"Because it's second-hand and has been used for several years, I'll sell it to you for 2,000."
Jiang Jing shook his head and said, "It's expensive. Our friendship for so many years, are you embarrassed to sell it to me for so much money?"
"The original version of the second-hand Elf Manual on Xianyu only costs 1,500. So, I'll sell it to you for 1,400."
Liu Bin clapped his hands and said, "You really got a good deal. Holy shit, this one is different from the ones on Xianyu. The ones on Xianyu are all in tatters. There's nothing broken." I know, that’s why I only bought 1,500.”
"My machine has been well maintained. All functions are in good condition. It looks like new on the surface. You actually have the nerve to say 1,400."
Jiang Jing said: "Anyway, you have a new one, so you can sell me the old one cheaply."
So Jiang Jing spent a few more minutes having a heated discussion with Liu Bin. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, 1,400, just 1,400. Just treat it as a loss-making transaction."
Jiang Jing said: "Isn't that right? Come and have barbecue."
Liu Bin took a big bite of a meat skewer to vent his frustration.
…
After finishing the barbecue, it was already past nine o'clock, and Liu Bin planned to stay at the barbecue restaurant to help.
Jiang Jing himself got on the bus and went home.
On the bus, he took out a red, square-shaped machine like a game console from his bag.
When opened, there is a black screen on the top and four buttons on the bottom; this is the original version of the legendary Elf Illustrated Book, which is also the first generation of the Elf Illustrated Book.
The first generation Elf Guide released in China in 2001 by the New Alliance.
It is very similar to the Elf Illustrated Book in the previous game and anime, and has similar functions.
When you see an elf you don’t recognize while traveling, just turn on the illustrated camera and point it at the button, and the elf’s detailed information will appear.
However, the first generation version of the illustrated guide contains different information for each country, and they all contain elves owned by their own country.
The information is incomplete and only available in Chinese, not in other languages.
When this Elf Guide first came out, it cost 30,000 yuan per unit, which was ridiculously expensive, but the people who bought it at the time were wealthy people, and they didn't think it was expensive at all.
Moreover, the quantity is also limited, and it is sold out as soon as it is released. If you want it, you can only find scalpers to buy it at a higher price. Ordinary people simply can't buy it.
It was not until the production volume increased and subsequent new versions were developed that the price dropped.
Jiang Jing originally thought about buying a second-hand elf illustrated book, but he thought it was too expensive and not cost-effective, so he didn't buy it. He didn't expect to have it today, and the price was within the affordable range.
He knew that Liu Bin didn't plan to sell it for much money, he just said it was cheap.
"Um?"
He felt his chest was a little hot. He looked down and patted his chest again. Suddenly, his consciousness seemed to be pulled into nothingness again, with only a huge colorful bead in it.
There was gray airflow around the beads, and among the colorful beads, a stream of colorful light turned into water and flowed out along his body and into the Elf Illustrated Book in his hand.
The black screen flashed suddenly, then turned on automatically, and a Charmander pattern with detailed information appeared on the screen.
Then it flashed by, switching to Bulbasaur, then switching to Pikachu, and then switching to the elves continuously, and the speed was getting faster and faster, like going through a slide, and my eyes were a little dazzled watching it.
It keeps getting faster and faster, and the speed is so fast that you can't even see which elf is being switched next.
Jiang Jing's heart was filled with turmoil, but on the surface he didn't react at all. He was very calm and stared at the Elf Guide in his hand. He had a premonition that something terrible was going to happen.
He was sitting in the last row of the bus, and there was no one around him. There were only three people in front of him, and no one noticed anything strange here.
The anomaly in the Elf Guide lasted for five minutes before it ended, and the screen instantly darkened, as if it had frozen.
The next moment, Jiang Jing felt an extremely special energy flow rush out of the illustrated book at an extremely fast speed and rush to his head with lightning speed.
It launched an impact on his brain, and there was a loud bang.
He felt as if his head had been hit hard by a heavy hammer.
The instant pain made his vision go dark, his consciousness fell into pain, and his brain instantly went blank.
Everything happened so suddenly that he didn't even have time to scream, so he could only hold on to his seat to relieve the pain.
In the midst of pain, countless memories about elves emerged in his mind one by one without realizing it. Whether it was animation, games, theater versions, special comics, or even all the knowledge about elves now, they all emerged like a quick glance.
I don’t know how long it took, but the memories finally ended and the pain disappeared.
Jiang Jing opened his eyes, regained consciousness, and looked at the driver and passengers in front of him, as well as the radio in his ears, as if he was in another world.
He stayed like this for thirty seconds before he came back to his senses. He had only one feeling, it was really like a dream.
I took out my phone and checked the time. Only fifteen minutes had passed.
The incident just now made him feel that some unknown changes had taken place in his body. He didn't know what specific changes had taken place. He could only wait to find out more when he got home. He needed to slow down now.
Just like this, after a while, the bus arrived and he got off the bus with some hesitation.
After walking slowly for a while, he felt better breathing the air.
When I walked to the gate, under the night light, there was a sixty-year-old man wearing brown casual clothes with gray hair and a katy dog walking in front behind him.
Jiang Jing greeted: "Grandpa Lin, are you back from your walk?"
Grandpa Lin turned around and saw Jiang Jing smiling kindly: "Xiao Jing is back. I haven't seen you in the past few days?"
Jiang Jing smiled and said, "I just came back yesterday and didn't go out much."
Grandpa Lin has retired. He was a Chinese teacher at Rongcheng No. 6 Middle School for decades. After his retirement three years ago, his children were afraid that he would be lonely, so they bought a puppy to keep him company.
Grandpa Lin also likes this puppy very much. He is so precious that he goes out for a walk every day.
The two of them walked forward while talking, and suddenly Jiang Jing felt that his eyes were hot.
When his eyes saw the cady dog having fun in front of him, a green panel appeared in front of him, and a bunch of words and numbers quickly appeared in it.
He thought it was because he was dazzled and shook his head vigorously, but it turned out that there was not much change, the words and numbers were still there.
He slowed down and looked carefully.
