Chapter 77: [Magic Costume]!
Fan Junwei has lived with his grandmother since he was a child, in the sanitation workers' dormitory.
As the lowest-level profession in the city, sanitation workers have a strong sense of "welfare". Their purpose is to enable the elderly who have no income and no support to survive. A salary of a few hundred yuan is obviously not enough.
In the corners of squares, in the water and electricity rooms in parks, in the seemingly unnecessary "management rooms" in public toilets, places that most people rarely notice, actually have "dormitories" for sanitation workers.
Of course, these scattered places can only solve a small part of the problem. In the case of Dongyang County, there is a yard on the edge of the county town where nearly 100 dormitories for sanitation workers are concentrated.
This place was originally a garbage dump, but was later cleared as the city expanded. It is surrounded by two-story buildings, and in the center is a medium-sized courtyard. From a distance, it looks like a prison. In addition, its remote location means that Zhai Da has never been here in his two lives.
Fan Junwei took Zhai Da into the low-rise building. The population density here was very high. Each room was only about ten square meters, with no balcony, kitchen or toilet. It was basically just a place to put some sundries and two beds.
As it was almost dinner time, many people set up small stoves at the door to cook, and the messy debris invaded the open corridor, making it difficult for even one person to pass.
Fan Junwei and his grandmother’s “home” is on the first floor. The old lady that Zhai Da had met once was cooking with her back hunched.
"Grandma, I brought my classmates back."
Fan Junwei's grandmother, Wu Guizhen, raised her wrinkled face, her enthusiasm mixed with a hint of surprise: "Classmate Xiaowei, welcome, welcome."
Zhai Da looked at the large pot of milky white liquid on the small stove and said with a smile, "Hello, grandma, are you boiling milk?"
Grandma was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "This is not... milk, this is white flour paste."
Zhai Da stared at it for a while, and he really had never seen it before...
Wu Guizhen was not a depressed person. In fact, this old lady had a very tough character. When she saw Zhai Da, she immediately said that there was meat and eggs in the refrigerator and wanted to add them to the pot so that Zhai Da could eat together.
Fan Junwei handed the packed food to his grandmother: "We have already eaten. Zhai Da treated me to a meal and packed some for me. You can eat it first."
He pointed his fat finger behind him and said, "I'll take him to the yard to have a look."
"What are you looking at in the yard? It's all garbage..."
"Zhai Da just likes garbage."
After a brief greeting with the elders, Zhai Da finally got to the point.
Follow Fan Junwei to the back.
Because it was blocked by the building, even if he passed by, he would not be able to see the scenery inside. Zhai Da walked through the winding corridors and finally arrived at the so-called...
It may not be garbage, but it is definitely waste, collected and piled up in the yard by sanitation workers over the years.
Countless miscellaneous items were piled up like a small mountain, probably several meters high, including tables, chairs, benches, broken sofas, and tattered cotton-padded jackets...
Thermos cups, door frames, sponge heads...
Most of them are made of wood or unknown materials, because the metal and plastic items with a little weight have been sold for money.
As soon as he entered the yard, a broken line suddenly appeared in Zhai Da's sight.
After taking a look, he quickly rushed forward and stopped the old man from wasting food.
"Sir! Spare his life!"
The old man who raised the hatchet was startled.
"What are you doing?"
Zhai Da snatched a wooden stick from his hand and said, "Let me play with this for a while. You don't want it, do you?"
The old man smacked his lips and said, "I want to chop wood!"
No wonder there are so many things piled up here, it turns out many sanitation workers use them as firewood...
"Congratulations, host, for discovering the special white item [Young Straight Stick]: No man can refuse such a straight stick."
"Current status: Not owned, not activated."
"Equipment Effect 1: While in possession, slightly increases leadership and persuasion against men, and doubles the effect on minors."
"Note: In a certain neighborhood, this short stick was once the 'king's symbol' for boys. It was passed down for years until a certain king was beaten by his mother, and the symbol was lost."
[Young Straight Stick] is not long, only about 30 centimeters. The tail is about the thickness of a coin, and the tip is only the thickness of a soybean.
But if it is in the hands of a child, it can be said that the length is just right and it is very comfortable to hold.
The most special thing is that this wooden stick, which looks as straight as if it was machine-made, with one end thin and the other thick, is actually naturally formed. It has the texture of an unknown tree on it, and there are two small tree knots at the tail, forming a bionic "handle".
It can be said that it is precisely because of its natural shape that it was once regarded as a symbol of the "king of children".
"Uncle, give this to me."
The old man probably thought he was too childish, so he waved his hand and told him to go play somewhere else.
Almost simultaneously, the ownership of the system was updated.
Zhai Da took it and examined it for a moment, his first reaction was...
This thing looks like the magic wand in the movie... Unfortunately, it's just a white device that can't emit green light and can't bite the big melon.
Wand...
He subconsciously took out the [Joker Poker] from his pocket and put it together with the [Boy's Straight Stick].
Magic...magic wand...can it be synthesized?
Well, I guess I was overthinking it, it just looks like a magic wand...
Suddenly, Zhai Dafu came to his senses and took out the [Nerd's Glasses Cloth] from his pocket.
When he had all three items in his hands, he heard a new prompt from the system.
"Detected the host's first discovery of the [Suit]. Congratulations on activating the [Suit] ability."
"【Suit】: It is composed of varying numbers of related equipment. After the host obtains multiple related equipment, they can activate the 'Suit Effect'."
"[Set Effect] is 'Normal'. It takes effect without using or carrying the corresponding equipment. It only depends on whether the equipment is fully owned."
"The same [equipment] may belong to different [suits], and the same [suit] may also be composed of different equipment. Please explore for more information on your own."
"Congratulations to the host, activating the green suit [Magic Gift Set] (3/6)."
Component Enhancement → [Joker Poker] 'Spotlight': The attention-grabbing effect is now controllable. Everyone will look at it when you need it, and it will dim when you don't need it.
"Component Enhancement → [Nerd Glasses Cloth] 'Burst': When the corresponding effect is triggered, the host becomes immune to the negative effects of adrenaline. Elegance never goes out of style, and a gentleman is always rational."
"Component Enhancement → [Young Straight Stick]: Leadership and persuasion abilities are extended to all genders."
