Chapter 19 Flattery
The flickering oil lamp, if it weren't for the dull pain on the top of his head, Shen Xiaoqi would even doubt whether he was hallucinating. Reincarnation was not said to be within the acceptable range. It was clearly announced when he entered the game, so there would be nothing penetrating about it. Well, Shen Xiaoqi was so alert that he could only rush towards the clanking sound of iron. At least there was an NPC there.
"You've come back again, what did you forget? You kid, you're good at everything, just your memory, don't lose your reputation." There were actually a few steps that were broken after bumping into them. If not for being careful, Shen Xiaoqi could have done it. Roll down. It seems that the man's words were not meant to be a joke. Shen Xiaoqi was really likely to fall when he rushed down in such a hurry. As soon as he landed, a heat wave came over him, and the unique smell of metal lingered in his ears. A strong voice came.
The man with gray hair and bare upper body, without any exploding muscles, was actually so skinny as he was beating with a giant hammer. Every rib was clearly visible. There was really nothing to show off. Under the firelight, the corners of his eyes could be seen densely covered with fish marks, making it impossible to judge. Her age can only be vaguely discerned, and she must be quite young.
The name of the blacksmith on the top of her head is undoubtedly an NPC. She is still working diligently on blacksmithing. Shen Xiaoqi can't help but despise the owner of the shop. It's just that her job is called Acacia. Hong Xiu is no more than a woman in her forties, and her taste is too heavy. I like this mature look.
In her imagination, she was a burly and unusually middle-aged man. He was almost in his twilight years. He looked at her with squinting eyes and felt that he was a bit mean. The old man was far different. It was obviously not a hallucination before. He had indeed encountered something like a blacksmith. The appearance of a familiar place also made the blacksmith a little surprised. The two looked at each other, but Shen Xiaoqi took the initiative to show his kindness and waved his hand, "Hello, I am delivering express."
Maybe it can also help to make a living. Running errands is the most suitable thing for Shen Xiaoqi. The person in front of him is a reward with three big question marks. Let alone delivering express, he just takes out the buns in the package as a reward. Shen Xiaoqi had no complaints about the takeaway. The blacksmith made no reply with a cold face and continued to forge, "Go upstairs to discuss business. This is a workshop and we won't accept you."
It must be admitted that in the face of the bombardment of so many players, Lao Wangtou can make money and has a normal playful smile. Aunt Li is just a commoner who occasionally sells some noodles and does not attract much attention. Hongxiu and Blacksmith have been tortured. There are endless moves, and Shen Xiaoqi can accept them with a cold face, not to mention the smiling faces, which she can't understand.
"I'm really here to deliver something, you see." I originally wanted to negotiate a few words, but with the other party's attitude, if I don't take some practical measures, I'm afraid it will fall into mechanical complexity. The model of a shopkeeper is rarely seen. There will be players chatting with each other. Once the blacksmith repeats the same thing, Shen Xiaoqi will definitely know that there is no chance.
Unfolding the neatly folded gown, Shen Xiaoqi ran to a place where the firelight could not reach it, but the blacksmith didn't even look at it. He lowered his head and looked at the burned red iron handle, "I I haven’t ordered any clothes yet, so I don’t need them. You can just take your things with you and leave.”
Judging from the appearance of the blacksmith, it is true that there is no need for an object of this kind of texture. Moreover, Shen Xiaoqi also knows that this is definitely not customized by him. Holding the gown in one hand, Shen Xiaoqi's position is just right facing the corridor, so there is no need to worry about sudden players. Coming down and negotiating with the NPC is better for her than joking with a boring AI, and there is no need for scruples and worries.
"That's right. I was asked to find the famous and wise blacksmith Ou. If you are not, you must not be famous. The most famous person in the village seems to be Senior Ou. I haven't had time to ask. Maybe you really are not. ,Excuse me." It is not difficult for so many players to find out the blacksmith's name. Although his identity is not directly revealed, there is no doubt about his identity. Shen Xiaoqi's move is not a trick, but no one wants to be inexplicable without even his name. Dare to admit it.
"I, Ou Yesi, will not change my name or surname. I am the only one with the surname Ou in the village. What's wrong?" The name has no meaning. Shen Xiaoqi brought the objects of the chain mission. Ou Yesi cannot refuse mechanically, at least the name can be used. After confirming it, Shen Xiaoqi smiled and raised his gown, "Then I found the right person. This is Hongxiu for you, from the tailor shop!"
"Do I have to accept what she gave me?" Ou Yesi murmured coldly, holding the iron clip and turning over the iron handle, "No reward for no merit, I don't need this thing, where did it come from?" Where to go back?"
His face remained unchanged and he was really unmoved. Shouldn't he add a word in front of "Acacia"? This unkind blacksmith is not as pleasing to the eyes as Old Wangtou. I don't want to refuse. How can I do the job when I go back? Isn't Shen Xiaoqi's mission in vain? , "It's so thoughtful and sad to send it back. You see, this style is definitely unique in the fishing village. Everyone knows that the red sleeves are so skillful. What she makes will definitely fit your body shape and no one else can wear it." With that kind of temperament, only you, senior Ou Yesio, can control this handsomeness.
Flattery doesn't matter, as long as it lasts, Shen Xiaoqi doesn't mind saying it's disgusting, just like Ou Yesi's skinny appearance, how long has it been since the red sleeves were seen, this dress feels like the wrong size when I touch it, the Novice Village's No. 1 tailor is like this Craftsmanship, but Ou Yesi seems to be very useful. Such boring work in such a dark place usually comes with inquiries and tests. This opening is filled with all kinds of compliments. Shen Xiaoqi is the only one. This is also a task that is not his. As a result of the announcement, if Shen Xiaoqi really treated her as if she was pestering Hong Xiu, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to choose Ou Yesi.
"Find a clean place to put it, and let me say thank you." Deliberately customizing it, don't waste it. Besides, it is not difficult for Ou Yesi to see that the material of this gown is absolutely rare in the fishing village. He did not specify any follow-up tasks, it was just an arrangement. Shen Xiaoqi left without saying a word about rewards.
If it is completed like this, will the collection knife automatically fall into the package? It does not mean that it has nothing to do with the unknown reward. The opportunity was finally broken and it was broken. Hongxiu's sewing skills are not far away, and Shen Xiaoqi will not be so easy. He gave up and looked at Ou Yesi carefully while holding his gown.
The shop upstairs sells the same zero-level and tenth-level equipment, all of which are ordinary wooden weapons. The existence of Ou Yesi and Hong Xiu is probably processed objects. After all, he is forging metal materials, so there is no way it is meaningless here. In terms of status, Hongxiu is obviously superior in terms of posing, and the only relevant NPCs that can be seen in Novice Village are these two.
