Geomancer of the Marvel Universe

Beijing time: 20210601 23:59 pm, it is a good day for astronomy enthusiasts, because a huge meteorite over Fengtian fell towards Taoxian International Airport.

——The dividing line of death——

Adil Jiang has been practicing martial arts in the courtyard of a family these days. He is Jiang Chen, a Chinese who traveled from 2021 to 2011 New York.

In his previous life, he was an orphan, but in this life he has parents, both of whom are Chinese medicine practitioners. But he doesn't know what department he was admitted to, and he has not been in contact with them for three years.

Adil was originally an otaku who studied art. He made a living by designing novel covers and some art designs for websites. When he came to this world, he found that the possessed person actually knew martial arts. He wanted to memorize the martial arts before the memory of the other person completely disappeared.

"Hi! Adil, if you can teach me some skills that I can learn, I can consider helping you look after the store for free." Barry Worm is Adil's neighbor and helps look after the store.

"Kung Fu modification is something that only a master can do. Just wait." Adil stopped practicing, wet the towel and began to scrub his body.

Perhaps due to the physical differences between Eastern and Western people, Barry and Adil often strained their muscles when learning kung fu, so they only learned some basics and were unable to learn further kung fu.

"You guys are very particular about kung fu." Barry handed a purchase order to Adil who had finished wiping his body.

"Not that much. Kung Fu is practiced from a young age, so that the structure of the body's development will be very suitable for the Kung Fu learned. But don't be discouraged. There are many Chinese Kung Fu schools, which can basically cover people with various body structures."

When the Barry family moved here, he had basically passed his second growth period and his body structure had been finalized. At this time, his body could only learn the corresponding kung fu. But it is rare to see people like Barry who often strain their muscles. Under normal circumstances, adults can also learn various martial arts, but their achievements are limited.

"You really don't plan to find a job. There aren't many people shopping at your grocery store all day, so why not close it." Barry felt that there was no easier job than helping Adele look after the store, and he already helped look after it. It has been more than a month, and no one has bought anything except to purchase goods. They just take a look and leave. It is true that Aidil set the price too high.

"It will be a century-old store in five years, and then the community will have tax relief." Tax reduction is not Aidil's goal. His goal is a century-old store. It is also very promising to have a century-old store in his own hands. A sense of accomplishment.

After his grandfather passed away, this grocery store was handed over to him. Adil before time travel planned to close it and find a job, but now Adil likes this shop very much.

Barry did not continue the topic, but moved closer to Adil, looked at the purchase list and said: "What you sell are all old goods."

"Antique." Adil reminded Barry of his choice of words.

"Then what are you doing with these iron birch branches? Do you want to process them yourself? I have to remind you that fraud is illegal." Barry pointed at the iron birch branches in the purchase order.

"This is something of a higher level than kung fu. Come here tomorrow and I'll give you something good to see if it can offset this month's wages."

"Grandet, I've only been working with you for a month, and you still have to make up for it." Barry left angrily. He was not really angry, because it was dinner time at his house, and Adele didn't care about the food. I always order takeout.

Adil's store was bought by his grandfather from a European who liked to collect. It used to be just a rural area, but then Manhattan continued to expand, and now it is connected to the city, but it can only be regarded as a suburb.

After his grandfather redeemed it, he expanded it. After the expansion, the first floor is the store and warehouse, the second floor is his family's practice room, and the third floor is the bedroom.

The store is very quaint. It’s okay to say that it doesn’t keep up with the trend, but it is still the decoration style of the last century. A chandelier flickered on and off, swaying back and forth when the wind blew, accompanied by a creaking sound.

A large trapezoidal counter divides the already narrow store into two parts. The counter is made of wooden boards, and the beveled glass is ordinary glass. Adil has applied to the community several times to replace it with tempered glass, but the community does not agree. , saying that the original style should be retained.

Behind the counter were five floors of shelves, filled with all kinds of old objects from all over the world. They were so mixed that they were real and fake, and he couldn't even tell which ones were real.

"Dong dong dong."

The community manager knocked on the glass and pointed to the old TV set on the window sill.

"I got it. Just knock it gently. If it breaks, I'll replace it with tempered glass." Adil opened the counter and turned on the TV.

As soon as I turned on the TV, a tour guide led a few foreign tourists to stop on the opposite side of the road, pointing to Adil's grocery store and saying: "This grocery store has a history of 95 years, and it still retains its original appearance... "

Adil has very good ears and is a little proud of it. This is the result of his and his grandfather's hard work.

"Billy, they are still out strolling so late. It has only been six months since our Iron Man debuted." Adil pointed to the TV channel, which was currently live broadcasting Stark and the Ministry of Defense discussing whether Stark should share Iron Man. technology debate.

"Nine o'clock. They went back after nine o'clock, and they took the main road. What could happen?" Billy was attracted by the TV, and after dealing with Adil, he concentrated on watching TV.

"Come in for a drink? I have something to tell you."

"beer?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Adil's store probably has more regulations than Hogwarts at its strictest, down to the placement of every item.

Fortunately, Adil was not an alcoholic and drinking tea was allowed, but he had to use a professional tea set, so this was not a problem.

"Forget it, what are you talking about?" Billy had no intention of entering the house, because there was only one stool in Adil's shop, let alone chairs, and they were not for customers to sit on.

"I bought a batch of iron birch branches. Where do you want them to be placed?" This is the most troublesome part of the century-old store. It's not that you can't place them at will. The community staff will adjust them for you if they think it's unreasonable. .

"The minimum life span of your store is 30 years. If it's not enough, you can't sell it."

"How many years do you think an iron birch branch as thick as a finger has grown?"

"It can't be placed on the shelves, you can sell it on the counter." This is also a characteristic of grocery stores. There are always some items on the counter, which looks a bit messy, but has a sense of life.

Billy didn't enter the room in the end. After watching Stark's debate, he shook his head and went to inspect elsewhere.

Adil returned to the counter and pulled out the iron birch branches from underneath. The branches were much thicker than what he and Billy had said. Each branch was as thick as an arm and one meter long.

"Three boxes of 60 sticks are enough for the time being."

Adil traveled through time and naturally brought time travel benefits. He was playing Dota at the time and was hit by a strange stove. When I came to the Marvel world, I found that he had become the geomancer I was playing at that time. The furnace could make weapons and equipment in Dota, but it required materials.

He has experimented with a lot of metals. Weapons made of ordinary metals have an attack of 1. His current attack is around 40. With all six inventory slots equipped, he only adds six attack points, which is of little use to him.

So he first thought of an item that was easy to make, an iron birch tree, with all attributes: strength, agility, mental strength (original intelligence) plus one, and the materials were easy to obtain, which was the iron birch tree, which is the most cost-effective in Dota. items.

When the first branch is put into the furnace of the system, an icon of an iron branch will appear. Its attributes are the same as those in Dota, with all attributes plus one.

"Huh? You can also design styles, which is good." Adil studied art design in his previous life and liked this function very much.

But a refined iron branch was only half a meter long, as thick as a thumb, and as thin as a rolling pin. Adil thought for a moment and took in a box of iron birch branches.

"Why did I forget the buckler? This one is also made of wood." All 20 iron birch branches were put into the stove, and the buckler icon was also displayed.

10% chance of resisting 20 points of damage. Although it is not as good as the one used by the captain, it is still very good. The round shield can be further synthesized into the poor man's shield, which will become a fixed resistance to 20 points of damage and a 60% chance of resistance to 20 points of damage. In other words, with Adil's current attack power, more than half of it will not cause damage, and the damage caused will be reduced. Half.

20 points of damage is the maximum damage that an ordinary adult can cause. After testing, Adil found that at level one, he is twice as much as an ordinary adult, both in terms of measurements and attack power.

Put all the remaining iron birch branches into the system in one go and see if you can produce a short stick. This is a good thing that increases the attack by 10 and increases the attack speed by 10%. It can also be used to synthesize many high-level weapons. thing.

"It seems it's still a quality issue. Ordinary trees are the same as ordinary metals. The maximum can be increased by one."

The short stick he wanted didn't appear, which was what he expected. It's okay to say that there are rare metals in the earth, but the iron birch tree is already the hardest tree on the earth.

"Is it really necessary to start traveling in the universe? But Geomancer leaves the ground and three of the four skills are disabled. This is a test."

Geomancer, as you can tell from the name, is a profession that absorbs energy from the earth and uses spells. Once it leaves the ground, two active skills and one passive skill will become ineffective.

Adil made three sets of 18 branches (referred to as processed iron tree trunks), one set for himself, one set for Barry to pay off his debt, and the rest to see if he could sell them.

It's not that you can't buy the rare metal Adil, there's everything on the black market, but you can't afford it. The moving rails cost hundreds or even tens of millions, which is too expensive.

"Ding bell!" The copper bell hanging on the door was plucked, indicating that a customer came to the door.

Adil stood up and placed the processed branches on the counter.

"Excuse me, do you have a mask here?" A white man in his forties came in, with messy hair and a very thin body.

"What type do you want? There are animal masks used by shamans, ghost masks used by wizards, and masks used by Chinese Peking Opera. The textures are also different, including metal, ceramics, wood and paper."

"Is that a ghost face?" the middle-aged man asked, pointing to a mask on the shelf.

"Yes, these three are representatives of the three major categories. I still have many in my warehouse. There are many types of ghost noodles. Different cultural regions have different styles. How many do you want to buy? It's best to specify your requirements. I’ll go back and get some for you.”

"The scarier the better."

"In this case, if you don't insist on having a ghost face, I recommend you buy the Buddhist Dharma Protector Vajra mask. This is the scariest mask in my opinion."

"More scary than Ghost Face?"

"The Dharma Protector Vajra is meant to intimidate young children. The darker the person, the more terrifying he looks, while the upright person looks very friendly."
