Chapter 128



The special effects makeup tools and prostheses were delivered in less than three days. Ye Zhou still underestimated the future technology. He originally thought that putting on makeup was a very troublesome thing. After all, in the variety shows he watched, special effects makeup was not just about gluing prostheses together; it also required applying makeup.

As for the makeup application skills of the people in the supermarket...

Ye Zhou wasn't bragging, he felt that he was the only person in the supermarket who had experience in putting on makeup.

After all, he often performed on stage when he was in elementary school. When the makeup artist was too busy, he would help the makeup artist to put blush on his classmates. Although it looked like a monkey's butt, it looked pretty good under the stage lights.

At least no classmates "hunted down" him for this.

It can be seen that his technology is still widely recognized.

Maybe it’s because these are the only people you see in the supermarket every day, and because of the previous living environment, so none of the female employees in the supermarket wear makeup.

Even except Ye Zhou, no one uses toner.

Ye Zhou felt more and more that he was living an exceptionally refined life.

Cao'er sat on the chair and let Ye Zhou put the "camouflage" on her. The prosthesis looked particularly strange when it lay softly on the table. Cao'er could not imagine how this thing could be stuck on the face.

But if the immortal says it is possible, then it must be possible.

Cao'er closed her eyes. She felt her face numb, especially where the immortal's hands had touched it.

Maybe the immortal is using some magic on her?

Otherwise, how could such a soft thing make her become like Sister Sarah?

"Okay." Ye Zhou put down his hand. He looked at Cao'er who had her eyes closed. He proudly took out his cell phone and took a picture of Cao'er.

Although fitting the prosthesis does not require much technical skills, it is done by him personally after all, and the effect after fitting is exceptionally realistic.

Cao'er now looks no different from a real European.

In fact, her brow bones were not raised much, and although her nose bridge and nose tip were also covered with prostheses, Ye Zhou did not feel that there was much difference between her and her usual self. However, it was these subtle differences that made her look like a different person.

Because it is a custom-made implant, there is no difference in skin tone and no makeup is needed.

Cao'er opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. She was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to realize that the person in the mirror was herself.

She reached up to touch her face.

"You'd better touch it less." Ye Zhou reminded her, "lest it fall off."

Cao'er put her hand down immediately.

With the special effects makeup props, Ye Zhou could go out by himself. After finishing for Cao'er, he handed Zou Ming's set to Zou Ming: "Can you do it yourself? This is not technically difficult. You just watched me do it."

Then Zou Ming did not take the prosthesis and tools. He was very calm and said shamelessly for a long time: "I can't do it."

Ye Zhou: “…”

Ye Zhou looked down at the prosthesis in confusion - this thing is so simple to use, even a five-year-old child can do it, right?

But Ye Zhou raised his head and looked at Zou Ming's guilt-free look. In the end, he just thought to himself, could it be that Zou Ming's hands have become so clumsy?

Ye Zhou could only say: "Then sit down and I'll fix it for you first."

Zou Ming sat on the chair, but he did not close his eyes. He watched Ye Zhou pick up the prosthesis and compare it with his face.

Ye Zhou's fingers are slender, with distinct joints. There are no calluses on his hands, like the hands of jade carvings, but the distinct joints prove his strength. Zou Ming took a deep breath. He could feel the cold prosthesis fitting on his face. Ye Zhou's fingertips gently pressed the edge of the prosthesis.

Zou Ming finally closed his eyes.

Every touch was infinitely magnified in his senses.

Ye Zhou's hand was very light and he did not use any force, which gave Zou Ming the illusion that he was cherished.

He seemed to have fallen into a beautiful dream, so much so that when Ye Zhou's voice came, he even thought he was hallucinating.

"It's done." Ye Zhou patted Zou Ming's shoulder.

He laughed and said, "I'm not hypnotizing you, why do you look like you're about to fall asleep?"

Zou Ming opened his eyes and looked up into Ye Zhou's eyes.

Ye Zhou: "Get up, I want to do it myself."

Zou Ming stood up, walked to Ye Zhou and said, "I'll help you."

Ye Zhou waved his hand: "Forget it, if you don't want to do it for yourself, don't use me as a test subject. You take Cao'er to pack your things, and we'll set off when I'm done."

Cao'er, who had sensed that the atmosphere was not right, had already quietly walked out of the lounge.

Although she didn't know what was wrong with the atmosphere, her intuition told her that it would be better to leave the lounge.

"It's just the two of us this time." Zou Ming said as Ye Zhou was putting makeup on her, "No need to bring her along."

Ye Zhou said speechlessly: "We must always give people the opportunity to grow. Otherwise, if you have to go back like Sarah, I will have to fight alone?"

Zou Ming frowned slightly and was about to say that he would not leave, but suddenly remembered something and in the end did not say a word.

After Ye Zhou attached the prosthesis to himself, he observed it carefully and made sure there was no problem with the fit before he stood up: "I asked you to pack your things but you didn't go. Go now."

All they had to pack were guns and money.

Ye Zhou had seen the currencies used by the people here, silver coins, gold coins and copper coins. Most of the transactions he could see were paid with copper coins.

However, due to the distance, I couldn't see the size and pattern of the coin clearly.

To be on the safe side, Ye Zhou still planned to take something that could be exchanged for currency from the locals.

"Take something that's easy to sell." Ye Zhou walked around twice, and to be on the safe side, he only took a few bags of salt and a few bags of sugar.

As long as it is not the industrial age, there will never be a shortage of market for sugar and salt.

However, Ye Zhou was also worried that there was not enough of these in the town, so he brought two more crystal balls.

After taking care of everything, he told Chen Shu, Wu Yan and the others to be careful and not to let anyone in if they saw anything from the supermarket, and then he took Zou Ming and Cao'er out.

It doesn’t take long to get from the supermarket to the nearest town.

Maybe because the road was relatively flat and he didn't bring much stuff, Ye Zhou felt very relaxed, as if he was on a picnic.

He was even in the mood to take out his cell phone to take pictures.

Cao'er would sometimes come in. She didn't know how to take pictures, she would just stiffly make a scissors gesture towards the camera.

This was the most beautiful move she knew.

Ye Zhou would also take pictures of Zou Ming, but Zou Ming would not stop to move, which was better because it was natural, so every photo taken looked exceptionally beautiful.

The three of them soon arrived at a house.

They also observed this family, a human family of five who made a living by farming.

Life is neither good nor bad. I can eat and not go hungry, but I can't eat meat either.

It should be considered as the lower-middle standard of living among the common people.

This is also because they don’t have much land.

They also lived in wooden houses, but compared to the wooden houses on the Minzel continent, the wooden houses here looked much more high-end and elegant, with doors and windows, triangular roofs, steps and wooden fences at the door, and a small yard outside the door with flowers and plants.

Although Ye Zhou couldn't recognize the types of flowers and plants, they were blooming lushly and brilliantly, making the not-so-big wooden house look beautiful.

"Who?" a voice came from inside.

Because of the translator, there was no communication barrier, so Ye Zhou shouted without any nervousness: "Passing traveler."

The wooden door opened quickly.

A middle-aged man walked out. He was wearing navy blue linen clothes and had a rough beard. He was not very tall, and his head reached Ye Zhou's chin.

He glanced at Ye Zhou and Zou Ming with some caution, but his vigilant gaze eased a little when it fell on Cao'er.

At any time, people are willing to believe that women are non-threatening.

If it had been just two young men showing up at his door, he would have closed it again by now.

Because there were two men with a woman who was obviously not a slave and had not been abused, he was not so wary.

"What do you want?" But the man still didn't invite them in.

Ye Zhou said with a smile: "We came from the north and spent all our money on the way here, but we still have salt and sugar. If you need it, we can make a deal."

Man: "Take it out and let me see it."

Zou Ming opened the cloth bag and took out a can of salt and a can of sugar.

Ye Zhou took the salt jar from Zou Ming, opened the lid, and handed the jar to the man.

The man reached out and carefully pinched a little salt out of the salt jar. He first put the salt in his palm and put it to his nose to smell it, then licked it. After confirming that it was salt, he said, "I don't want sugar, I just want salt. How much do you want for this jar of salt?"

Ye Zhou smiled and said, "I don't know how much it's worth in your place, but in our place."

He held up two fingers.

The man seemed to hesitate, but he still said, "Wait a minute."

He returned to the room and soon handed the two silver coins to Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou put away the silver coins. The man couldn't help but said, "If you want to go to the front, remember to go around that town."

Man: "Don't ask me why, just don't go in."

Ye Zhou gave Zou Ming a look, and Zou Ming immediately stepped forward to block the door, preventing the man from returning to the room immediately.

The man was holding the salt jar, and Zou Ming was blocking the door. Ye Zhou was blocking the way in front of him. He was reluctant to abandon the salt jar and fight with them. He also knew that he was no match for them, so he just said helplessly: "I can't explain it clearly."

"But there have always been rumors that there is something strange in that town." The man looked around and made sure that there was no one around before he whispered, "Relatives of the residents of that town often go to them for shelter, but they have never seen those relatives since."

Man: "You are just passing by anyway, don't go into the city, just take a detour."

"There is no evidence for these things, we are just guessing."

Ye Zhou glanced at Zou Ming. They were both sure that the man was not lying. Zou Ming retreated back to Ye Zhou. Ye Zhou smiled at the man and said, "I'm so sorry. We were also worried about getting into danger."

The man didn't want to say anything more to them. He immediately went back to the house with the salt shaker and closed the door decisively without listening to what Ye Zhou said.

After Ye Zhou and the others left, the man went to the kitchen with a salt shaker in his arms, looking excited.

Two silver coins!

All this salt is only two silver coins!

Although it was a lot, this snow-white salt had no bitterness at all. For two silver coins he was already getting a good deal!

Oh...that's not right.

The man stopped at the kitchen door. Why didn't he ask the three people if they had any more salt?!

Even if he emptied his family fortune, he could still make a fortune by selling this salt!

The man put down the salt shaker and slapped his forehead angrily and anxiously. He was about to chase after them, but when he thought about the three people having to pass through that town, he gave up.

That town was only developed in the past twenty years. It used to be just a small village with only a dozen households. Twenty years ago, a duchess suddenly came and not only built a castle, but also planned roads.

There are more and more people in the town, and everyone seems happy.

But local residents around here felt something was wrong.

Maybe it’s because they are too happy, their happiness doesn’t seem real, their happiness is weird.

The man shuddered involuntarily.
