Chapter 41 Appraisal of Equipment
In the spacious lobby, there was a sudden silence.
Yan Chengcai and the brothers behind him showed obvious embarrassment. This kind of private fighting in the army is actually nothing new. However, it all happened among the brave and ruthless sergeants, and it really had nothing to do with the arms blacksmith.
Moreover, this kind of private fight must not be put on the bright side. Although the generals of the various battalions have been aware of this for a long time, no one has ever pointed it out.
Ouyang Ming's expression was serious, and he said, "Brother Yan, don't you want to tell me?"
"Hehe..." Shopkeeper Lin laughed and said, "Everyone, I have prepared a secluded room, please come in and rest for a while."
Yan Cheng gave him a grateful look, and hurriedly said hello.
Ou Yangming's eyes flashed, he guessed the secret, and followed in.
In the room, Yan Chengcai really didn't have much worries, and told the story of Ye Dou.
In fact, it is very simple. The so-called night fights are a group of soldiers who have too much hormones and nothing to do.
It is said that at the beginning, this fight was just a one-on-one fight, but in the military camp, who doesn't have a good friend who can get along with each other.
Ever since, the scale of this fight has become more and more intense, and eventually this grassroots competition has affected the high-level game.
Yan Chengcai and the others were soldiers from Xiying under the command of General Chen Yifan, while Huang Jingtian who was just now was clearly a soldier under another general. The two soldiers fought openly and secretly, probably because of the acquiescence of the upper echelons of the army.
Ouyang Ming said coldly: "Which general does Huang Jingtian belong to?"
"Dongying." This time Yan Cheng didn't have anything to hide.
"General Dongyingtian..." Ouyang Ming murmured. After knowing this name, he naturally had a trace of fear in his heart. However, this does not mean that he can stand by and watch.
"Brother Yan, did you win the night fight with them last time?"
"Exactly." Yan Cheng said proudly: "Last time our brothers beat them to the point of bleeding, and earned a lot of face for the general."
Ouyang Ming said slowly: "They couldn't beat you last time, but this time they suddenly gained courage." He paused, and said: "Could it be related to the armguards in their hands?"
The faces of Yan Chengcai and the brothers behind him became serious one by one. After a while, Yan Chengcai sighed: "Master Ou doesn't know that Ye Dou actually has some rules. For example, each party can't have more than ten people. There can't be yin-rank warriors involved. And..." He smiled wryly: "We can't bring weapons, armor and helmets, otherwise the goal will be too big."
Ouyang Ming thought about it for a while, and immediately understood.
Although night fighting is a kind of fighting by default, this is a military camp after all.
If the sergeants keep fighting with blood and bravery, the generals at the top may still be happy to see the results. But if a knife is used or something, the situation and nature are completely different.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly necessary to limit the scale, weapons and equipment.
"I see, each of them has good-quality wristbands, and they can take advantage of it when they don't have weapons, armor and helmets."
"Exactly." Yan Cheng said helplessly: "Those are all high-quality armguards!"
Just by listening to his tone, you can know how worried he is at the moment.
Ye Dou, for people like Yan Chengcai, is a battle of reputation, which is the most glorious thing in the military camp that is not advocated by the public, but secretly. So, they take it very seriously.
Ou Yangming thought about it seriously, if he was fighting with his bare hands and he couldn't wear heavy armor, then wearing a pair of hard arm guards could indeed take advantage of a lot. If this night fight is just a matter between two people,
So a little cheap doesn't decide the final outcome. However, if the crowd is expanded to ten people, then the accumulation of ten advantages is not a small advantage.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Ouyang Ming said, "You guys agreed on tomorrow night, right?"
"yes."
"Okay, come to my place tomorrow morning." Ouyang Ming said calmly, "Choose ten brothers and don't embarrass General Chen."
In fact, if it was just an ordinary fight between soldiers, Ouyang Ming might not be willing to participate. However, since Huang Jingtian mentioned Old Craftsman, and there are some so-called masters coming over, he doesn't mind teaching him a lesson.
Yan Chengcai raised his head abruptly, and said in surprise, "Master Ou, do you also have high-quality armguards?"
Ouyang Ming smiled but didn't answer, but that confident smile already explained too many problems.
Yan Chengcai was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Master Ou, if we also have high-quality armguards, even if the quality is slightly inferior, we will never lose!"
Ouyang Ming was taken aback, looking at him with unavoidable dissatisfaction.
What do you mean by poor quality, you look down on people too much, can't the equipment given to you yesterday not shut your mouth?
Shopkeeper Lin was very experienced, and immediately saw that Ouyang Ming's face was unhappy. Although he didn't believe that Ou Yangming could provide any better goods even if he was beaten to death, he said immediately, "Master Ou, this is your first visit to the shop, why don't you take a look around?" He said with a smile, "The collections in the shop Maybe it can catch your eyes."
Ouyang Ming nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look."
Shopkeeper Lin nodded apologetically to Yan Chengcai, asking people to take care of them, and then graciously led him out of the room.
Although Ouyang Ming is not very old, he is already a formal arms blacksmith after all. At least judging from his current status, he is much higher than Yan Chengcai, who has not yet risen.
After Ouyang Ming left, someone behind Yan Cheng whispered, "Brother, are you going tomorrow?"
Yan Cheng glared at him and said, "Why don't you go?"
Another person also echoed: "Yeah, arm guards are not something ordinary soldiers like us can think about. If he can provide us, even ordinary arm guards, we can have a good competition with them !"
Everyone responded that the quality is one thing, but having it or not is another matter.
Their requirements are not high, as long as they have it.
Yan Cheng hesitated for a while, and suddenly, he thought of the three pieces of equipment placed in his room, and his heart suddenly became hot. Perhaps, Master Ou can really bring himself a surprise.
This shop is huge, beyond Ou Yangming's expectation.
In the store, there are also many equipment and medicine sales. Although Ou Yangming didn't have much experience in this area, he also understood that this kind of shop is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.
Looking around, there was nothing in the equipment that caught his eye, because the items on it were basically high-quality equipment, and even top-grade equipment was extremely rare, let alone attribute equipment.
Unknowingly, Ouyang Ming's vision has improved to this point.
As for those potions, Ouyang Ming couldn't comment because he didn't understand them. However, it is impossible to place some rare treasures with these ordinary equipment.
Shopkeeper Lin observed his words and expressions, and saw the look of disdain in Ouyang Ming's eyes, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
He coughed lightly and said, "Master Ou, there probably isn't anything on the first floor of the shop that you can see, please come down with me."
In fact, he didn't think about taking Ouyang Ming to a more advanced place at first. However, the contempt in Ouyang Ming's eyes aroused his competitive spirit.
Following Shopkeeper Lin up to the second floor, Shopkeeper Lin said with a smile, "Master Ou, this is the VIP room of the store. Even General Lin and General Tian have visited many times!" Although he only mentioned two names, But Ouyang Ming has already known how profound the heritage of this shop is.
Ouyang Ming was secretly shocked. He looked around and saw many treasures hanging on the wall.
Although he can't judge the specific attributes of the equipment at a glance, he can still tell the general good or bad at a glance.
Shopkeeper Lin laughed secretly in his heart, and finally calmed down this pretending child. But he said: "Master Ou, if you are interested, you can comment."
Ou Yangming glanced at shopkeeper Lin in surprise. He was not a flower in a greenhouse. He had experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships since he was a child, and he could vaguely see through his thoughts.
With a soft snort, Ouyang Ming took down a hatchet from the wall beside him.
This is a strange weapon, but there are many strong men in the barracks who especially love it.
The ammunition flickered in the palm of his hand. Although shopkeeper Lin was by his side, he didn't notice it at all.
Ouyang Ming weighed the ax a few times, thinking to himself, this weight, this weight, is really not light...
"Master Ou, what do you think of this Xingyue Axe?"
Ouyang Ming smiled lightly and said, "It's only the first rank of the top grade, and it's nothing."
Shopkeeper Lin was taken aback, and opened his mouth, feeling unspeakable. As one of the shopkeepers here, he naturally knows the quality of the Xingyue Axe. However, if he is allowed to distinguish by himself, at most he can only recognize the top grade. As for the upper grade, he will be blinded.
And Ouyang Ming was surprised to call out the rank of Xingyue Axe in one go.
Ouyang Ming put down the axe, took a step, and picked up another knife. This knife is somewhat different from the saber in style, it looks long and narrow, almost similar to a rapier. However, Ouyang Ming glanced at it twice, but praised: "The fourth level of the top grade is much better than that axe."
Although it is the same top grade, but the same level is also very important.
Ouyang Ming put down the knife, picked up a helmet, and glanced twice. Taking advantage of the gap, the ammunition flashed past his palm.
"Tier 3 top grade."
"Well, the fourth rank of the top grade."
"This is the second rank of the top grade."
"Hey, this is the fifth level of the top-rank peak. Hehe, shopkeeper Lin, your equipment here really has all the top-rank and other levels."
