Chapter 50

Jiang Li had just returned to the supermarket when he heard a series of heavy footsteps. He looked up and saw the dwarf he hadn't seen for a long time panting and stopping at the door. Behind his thick beard, his black eyes glared at him fiercely.

Jiang Li hesitated: "Hello?"

The dwarf calmed his breath. He didn't respond to Jiang Li. His eyes were already attracted by the bicycle parked at the door. The dwarf rushed over and stopped carefully before touching the bicycle.

Compared with the previous startled glance, at this moment, he was so close that he almost put his whole face on the bicycle, and his eyes looked at the bicycle body with fiery eyes.

Look! What a magical design!

Such smooth lines, as soft as flowing water, sparkling in the sunlight. What exquisite craftsmanship!

What kind of metal is this? The dwarf stretched out his stubby fingers, touched and knocked carefully, and a crisp echo came from the bicycle body. Listening to the echo, Eugene shook his head again.

No, no, no, this is not metal. He weighed the body. Metal is definitely not this light.

But with his rich forging experience, he couldn't tell what kind of mineral this was.

The dwarf grabbed the pedal and pressed it easily without much effort. The bicycle chain turned forward a little, and the two thin wheels also turned. The dwarf squeezed the wheel again. The inflated wheel was hard to squeeze. The strange touch under his hand surprised him again: What material is this?

Such a light body can actually support the weight of a person? It can run without the need for oxen and horses? It can actually carry a person and run so fast without much effort?

Just now, he was chasing behind it, but he couldn't catch up with its speed with his legs alone.

The dwarf looked at the bicycle in front of him with shining eyes.

How is this made? !

Just relying on these gears and chains? Why does the front of the car turn effortlessly? God of forging, why didn't he come up with such a good idea!

In Dolei City, there are such amazing craftsmen!

Through the glass door, Jiang Li silently watched the dwarf who suddenly appeared and turned around his bicycle, mumbling something in his mouth, and it was unknown what he was commenting on.

Seeing that his bicycle was about to be dismantled, Jiang Li hurriedly went around from behind the cashier: "Mr. Dwarf?"

Before Eugene could figure out the structure and principle of the bicycle, he was interrupted by the sudden sound. The dwarf took a lot of effort to finally move his eyes away from the bicycle. He looked towards the source of the sound and saw the owner of the supermarket, the handsome black-haired human, looking at him with disapproval.

The dwarf cleared his throat, stroked his messy beard, and asked respectfully: "Did you make this bicycle?"

"Huh?" Jiang Li said: "I bought it, not made it."

Eugene was very disappointed: "It wasn't made by you?"

He quickly cheered up: "Then can you tell me the name of the forging master?"

Jiang Li glanced at the logo on the bicycle and thought: It's modern industry.

"Sorry, I can't say."

"Then..." The dwarf paused, and after carefully evaluating the strength of the other party, he changed his question and asked: "Can you sell this bicycle to me?"

Jiang Li refused: "This is not a product sold in the supermarket."

The dwarf was even more disappointed.

His eyes lingered on the bicycle. If possible, he wanted to disassemble the bicycle, carefully observe each part, discover the secrets hidden under its beautiful appearance, and then replicate it with his own hands. Unfortunately, the bicycle already has a powerful owner.

Eugene looked back at the owner of the supermarket.

He had heard the name of the supermarket from Chris more than once. Chris was his friend. He moved to Dore City not long ago. The two met in a tavern and soon became friends. Chris was a loyal admirer of the supermarket. He recommended it to him several times and praised how magical the supermarket was. Thinking of the taste of the hot pot base, the dwarf swallowed behind his hairy beard.

Soon, he thought of more.

Since the supermarket is so magical, and the owner of the supermarket also owns a unique bicycle, then, in the supermarket, will there be other works of the forging master?

The dwarf's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to walk into the supermarket.

Jiang Li followed behind: "Welcome, what do you want?"

"The owner of the supermarket." He said, "I want to see some works like bicycles."

Jiang Li understood.

This is a guest who is not interested in food.

His supermarket has been open for so long, and it is the first time to hear such a request, which makes Jiang Li feel a little novel and excited. You know, in addition to snacks and drinks, supermarkets also sell daily necessities, but people in other worlds always favor food. Except for the thermos cups that are very popular in winter, few people care about those industrial products.

Food and department store supplies were placed on different shelves. He led the dwarf to the other half where few customers visited.

"Please feel free to look around." Jiang Li said.

Eugene stepped into this holy place carefully.

He held his breath and looked at the goods on the shelves in front of him in disbelief. Bathed in the bright fluorescent lights, they seemed to be shrouded in a hazy glow. Glass products, thermoses, flashlights, clocks, pots and pans...

Eugene almost fainted with happiness.

Oh my God!

What did he see! ?

He was such a stupid dwarf. He had already stepped into the supermarket, but he overlooked such a treasure!

Look at those round and smooth glass cups, such a clear and pure luster, such a round curve, what kind of exquisite craftsmanship is this? ! Those round pots and pans are so thin, what kind of metal is this? Why has he never seen it before? Such precious ore is used to make pots and pans, isn't it a waste? And those clocks...

clocks...

The dwarf stopped in front of the shelf where the clocks were placed. He looked around and found that the owner of the supermarket had left and he was the only one left.

He carefully took a small clock off the shelf. The hands ticked around and clearly pointed to the scales around. Eugene held the clock in his palm and looked at it over and over again.

Lightweight, colorful exterior, crisp sounding shell. I can't imagine, I have no idea what material it is made of.

And, how is it made? It's not that there are no clocks in the other world, but they are not so small, nor so accurate. Eugene held his breath and waited for a while, and was surprised to find that they were exactly the same as the time.

What a sophisticated technology!

He turned the clock over and over, trying to see the contents through the shell, wanting to see how the gears turned so tightly, what the parts were made to look like, and how they were exquisitely matched to make up this small clock.

Suddenly, he didn't know where he touched, the clock in his hand trembled violently, and made a sharp sound.

"Ding-dong-dong--"

The clock that was originally gentle in his hand seemed to suddenly turn into an agitated monster. The dwarf was frightened and almost dropped the alarm clock in his hand.

Jiang Li rushed over after hearing the sound, took the alarm clock from him, and turned it off.

"What is that?" The dwarf asked nervously.

Jiang Li answered, "It's an alarm."

"Alarm?" Eugene asked, "Why does it ring?"

"Reminder time?" Jiang Li said, "Maybe you just accidentally set the alarm time, and it just happened to ring."

The dwarf repeated in a deep voice, "Reminder time..."

"Yes."

Jiang Li put the alarm back on the shelf and tidied the shelf.

The dwarf watched his actions in silence, and after a moment, he asked, "What material is the clock made of?"

"Uh..." Jiang Li glanced at the alarm he had just put back: "Plastic?"

"What about the bicycle?"

"Carbon fiber, rubber?"

"What metal are those tableware made of?"

"Stainless steel."

"What materials are these?" The dwarf murmured to himself, "I have never heard of it..."

Jiang Li answered in his heart: It is the synthetic material of modern industry.

He did not explain to the dwarf, and slowly put the shelves in order. The sound of customers coming in was heard from outside the door.

"Mr. Jiang Li?"

Jiang Li walked out and saw Chris and others.

"Mr. Jiang Li, did you see... Oh!" Seeing the dwarf walking out behind Jiang Li, Chris breathed a sigh of relief, "Eugene, it's a good thing you are here. You suddenly ran out, and I thought something happened."

The dwarf responded vaguely, with his head down, still immersed in the things he had just seen.

For most of the goods, he could not tell what they were used for just by looking at the appearance. And some of the goods that he could see the use of were completely different from his impression, and with his experience and skills, he could not imitate them. What's even more amazing is that the shelves are full of materials he has never seen before.

For a dwarf who loves forging, this is even more tempting than the treasure of a dragon!

The dwarf's breathing became heavy.

Every dwarf is a forging master, and Eugene can say without hesitation that he is the best among the dwarves. The weapons he forges are sharp and highly sought after. In the city where he originally lived, even the bravest adventurers are proud to own weapons forged by him. If he had not offended the local nobles, he would not have wandered to a small city like Dolei City.

But he never thought that in a small place like Dolei City, he could see such wonderful works.

God of forging, which forging master made those works? !

Chris said excitedly: "Eugene, are you here to buy something in the supermarket? I've said it before, this is the best store in Dore City. What do you want to buy? If you are not interested in hot pot base, how about wine? I remember you love drinking."

Chris raised his chin proudly: "The wine in the supermarket is also very delicious, especially the white wine, which is better than the one in the tavern. Except for Dore City, you can't find such good wine outside..."

That's right! He can buy those things!

Without paying attention to what Chris was chattering, the dwarf turned around and hurried back to the shelf. He quickly browsed around and scanned the products he had just seen and had not seen. Finally, he decided to start with the part he knew best. He carefully took a wall clock from the shelf.

Chris was stunned: "Huh? You want to buy magic props?"

Eugene glared at him dissatisfiedly from behind his messy beard.

Magic? No, of course not.

How can those crudely made magic props, which are made by just engraving magic circles on the materials, compare with tools made of real gold and flames? The ores melted in the flames, the sound of metal being repeatedly forged, the precise structure, the wonderful combination... Turning ordinary ores into hot treasures is the real charm of forging!

Eugene carefully put the clock on the cash register.

Jiang Li glanced at it and said, "Fifteen silver coins."

The dwarf suddenly raised his voice, "Fifteen silver coins?!"

Jiang Li was shocked, "Too expensive?!"

The dwarf stared at him in disbelief behind his thick beard. It was really, really...too cheap!

He happily took out fifteen silver coins from his pocket, holding the watch with care, as if it were a treasure, and walked out of the supermarket happily, forgetting about his friends.
