[Other World] Buy V to watch it

Dong Zhen leaned in front of the old man's shop, opened his eyes and scanned the tall five-storey shelves.

According to the novel, in an inconspicuous corner, there is an iron box full of dust.It's easy for others to ignore the past, but the protagonist sensed something in the dark, and his eyes were attracted to him - I'll go!What kind of feeling is it in the dark!

Dongzhen rubbed his eyes depressedly, looked back and forth several times, his eyes were sore, but he couldn't find where the iron box was.

There are so many sundries on the shelves, ranging from iron pots and pans to small oil lamps and brushes, piled up one after another, and there are inconspicuous corners that are easy to ignore, right?

Because he is not the real protagonist, does he not have the superhuman intuition like the protagonist?It really transcends discrimination.

Dong Zhen let out a breath as if giving up, he didn't expect to find the iron box at a glance, so he simply went to the shelf and rummaged through it honestly and carefully.

Although he doesn't have the same intuition as the protagonist, but fortunately he still has a reading system, which should be enough.Dong Zhen comforted himself to think about it, otherwise, he would not even know the existence of the iron box now.

Searching hard in a pile of groceries, probably because of his light hands, the old vendor just glanced at him, and went to greet other customers without saying anything.

After finding the third floor from bottom to top, Dongma stared blankly at the fourth floor which was higher than his head with empty hands, and bit his lower lip Yuzu: Ugh, why is he so short?

"What do you want?" After seeing off a customer who bought spices, the little old man walked up to Dong Zhen who exuded a sad aura all over his body.

Dongzhen blinked and blinked, with a young and shy smile: "I want a box."... Can someone help, because he is a child.

"What box?" the old man rummaged through his shelves.

"I'm going to use it to hold the baby's box. Make it stronger...well, an iron box!" Dongzhen tiptoed excitedly, as if wanting to look up, "Is there any?"

The little old man took down a rusty iron box from the shelf on the fifth floor, the size of a palm, and held it up to Dongzhen: "How about this iron box?"

Dong Zhen quickly glanced at the bottom of the box, and saw a bit of dark green, like the tip of a leaf.His eyes lit up, this is it!On the bottom of the box, there is a pattern of green leaves that looks like a totem of a badge, but most of the pattern is covered by dirt—that’s what it says in the novel.

"It's about the same size..." Dong Zhen lowered his head and whispered, "But, I only have fifteen copper coins..."

"Just fifteen copper coins." The little old man laughed hoarsely, "This iron box is rusted, and you can tell me whether you can open it when you go back. Are you sure you want it?"

"En." Dong Zhen took out the hot copper coins from his pocket, put them on the shelf one by one, then stretched out his hand, and squinted his eyes, "Thank you."

The little old man also smiled and put the iron box in Dongzhen's hand: "If you can't open it, I will sell it. This box is also a bit heavy."

"Yeah." The moment the palm of his hand touched the iron box, the icy coolness seemed to seep into the skin. Even though he knew that this was an illusion caused by psychological reasons, Dongzhen still shivered unconsciously, and stared at him for a moment. As soon as I touched the box in my hand, my heart beat a little faster.

The legendary Goldfinger!

Suddenly, I felt that my future life would be very interesting.Grasping the tin box tightly, Dong Zhen bowed to the little old man, said goodbye, and left with a few bounces while waving his arms.

"Is there still something in that box? Old man Shi, you just sold it like this?" A middle-aged man who sells wood furniture next to the little old man's shop said.

"I tried it before, and the box couldn't be opened at all." The little old man shook his head, "Plus the weight of the purchase is not light, I guess it should be a solid iron block, and the appearance is made into a box. When I can’t even remember what’s on the shelves.”

"Then a piece of iron is more than fifteen copper coins, right?" The middle-aged man smiled, "If the kid finds out that it's not a box and sells it, the profit will probably be doubled? Old man Shi, you've softened your heart again."

He paused, and then said: "However, that kid looks very happy." Such a smiling face, I thought it was invisible in the mixed-race area.

The little old man narrowed his eyes and looked at the direction where Dongzhen left, and there was pity and relief in his old voice: "Yes, I have never seen a child like that in this place." So I gave a little bargain to the child, He would too.

Dong Zhen didn't know at all that the little old man sold him the iron box as an iron block, and he also thought that he could earn a pocket money after selling it.He hurried back with the iron box in his arms, but the more he walked, the more itchy he got, and he couldn't wait to open the box and take a look inside.

After finally returning to the house, he took the box and got into his room, fiddled with it in style.

……

At noon, Aaron came back with fresh ingredients as promised.

"Dongzhen?" The moment he entered the room, Aaron realized that there was no one in the room.He put the ingredients by his feet, turned around and walked out the door again, his voice was a little louder, "Dongzhen!"

No one answered him, and no one seemed to be around.

Could it be that he went to the grocery market and hasn't come back yet?Aaron frowned, it shouldn't take long to come and go, right?

When he was about to go out to look for it, from a distance, he saw the familiar Xiao Douding walking towards this side listlessly.

"Why did you come back now?" Aaron felt relieved.

"... I lost my way." Dong Zhen who approached said disgruntled.

"Lost?" Aaron was silent, who swore in the morning that he had lived here for seven years?

Aaron, you really can't hide your thoughts!Dong Zhen scratched his hair, and added weakly: "I mean life."

"?" Aaron continued to remain silent, looked down at Dongzhen, then patted Dongzhen's head with his big hand, "Go and cook."

"Yeah." Dongzhen put the tin box in Aaron's hands, and carried the ingredients to the kitchen like a wandering ghost, "Help me put the room, I'll cook."

"Did you get bullied?" Aaron asked in a low voice behind him.There was something obviously wrong with the child. He looked energetic in the morning, but after only one morning, he was drooping like a dehydrated leaf. Something must have happened.

Being bullied?

Dong Zhen slumped his shoulders, not so much because he was bullied by someone, but rather because he was bullied by an iron box.

From morning until now, he has tried his best and can't open the box!

The box has no keyholes, and after wiping off the dust and rust, the whole thing looks like a square iron lump.

Some kind of skill must have been required to open such a box.He had no way to get in, so he could only follow what he took for granted, bit his finger and smeared blood on it, used his mental power to sense it, and talked to the box with concentration and sincerity...

The more stupid and naive methods have been tried in turn. For ordinary people, he would have been ashamed by the series of second-handed behaviors, and he finally gave up on the non-aggressive soft cracking and turned to brute force cracking.

Because there were too few tools in the room, he even went outside and used iron sheets and stones. He picked up all kinds of strange things as tools, but he just couldn't open them!

At the beginning, I was cautious and worried that the destruction of the box would be too hard, and the things inside the box would be damaged.But then he realized that the outer shell of the box is so strong, even if he tried his best, he probably wouldn't be able to damage the contents of the box, right?

Before worrying that he would destroy the contents of the box by using too much force, the most important thing for him was to consider whether he could open the box with his own strength!

If he hadn't known that there was definitely something in the box, Dongzhen would have been like the old grocer, suspecting that the box just looks like a box, but it is actually a solid iron block.

The golden finger is close at hand, but there is no way to open it.Is this the farthest distance in the world?

Is he going to compromise with the system, buy the next chapter, and see how the protagonist opens the iron box?He just made up his mind not to fatten the system before, and now he will change his mind and regress in less than a day—Dongzhen sighed, even if he had always been a frivolous man with low credibility before, it would be too spineless for him to compromise so easily, right?

"No one bullies me." Sighing inwardly again, Dongzhen pulls himself together, tilts his head and smiles at Aaron, the good guy Aaron doesn't need to worry about him too much.

However, his eyes that fell on Aaron suddenly froze, and then lit up: "Aaron, can you do me a favor?"

"what?"

"That box, Aaron, can you cut it open for me?" Dong Zhen said with a smile, a ray of sunshine piercing through the dark clouds in her heart, illuminating her inner world brightly.
