Players Please Get In the Car

Ten minutes later, Xu Huo and the others arrived at a hotel on the other side of the city. Judging from the location of the city's buildings, this hotel was almost out of the city. It was probably because there were usually fewer guests. Some people came over in the middle of the night, and the staff were quite happy. He enthusiastically led them to the room and gave them late night snacks and breakfast for the next day.

The You sisters paid attention to the announcements from the local government, but after one night, the government did not send out any relevant information about the Cultural Street, and there were no relatively concentrated missing cases or death cases on the Jixin terminal, so they I think this should be a more targeted copy, and the location is limited to the vicinity of Cultural Street.

Xu Huo was not at ease and asked the painting girl and the others not to go near Cultural Street anymore. Since the transportation was so convenient, it would be fine to go to the next city during the day. He went to visit the writer Jingshi as originally planned.

After two in-depth talks, Jingshi proposed to introduce him to the master watchmaker, not to let him become an apprentice, but to let him watch the process of making clocks by the master.

"Things can resonate with each other. Sometimes I call this burst of resonance inspiration." Jingshi said: "Thirty years ago, I was just a small writer who made money by writing some strange stories. It was very accidental. By chance, I saw an instrument maker polishing props and clocks. At that moment, my brain seemed to be hit by some force, and countless thoughts that were completely different from before burst out. That was also my life. turning point.”

She looked at Xu Huo and said, "I hope you can have such good luck."

Of course Xu Huo would not refuse and solemnly thanked her. When Jingshi learned that he would not be leaving for the next few days, she simply invited him to stay at her home, so that she could take him there at any time once she contacted her grandson's teacher.

Xu Huo admitted that he had several friends staying in the hotel and it was not convenient for him to come and disturb them, so he declined.

Jingshi didn't force it, but said he could come over and chat at any time.

Xu Huo left after lunch. He found a quiet place and started searching for the ranking of toolmakers in this area on the Jixin terminal.

However, the search results made him a little disappointed, because according to some organizations, the ranking of watchmakers is not reliable, and some watchmakers have empty names. On the contrary, the ranking of watchmakers is more authoritative and has received recognition from all parties in society. recognized.

The rankings are publicly visible, and many online platforms have dedicated discussion areas. Not surprisingly, Xu Huo saw an account named "Tian Xia No. 1" blasting the rankings on various platforms, and even posted the clocks on the rankings. The master came out to comment. He not only attacked other people's professional standards, but also used other people's dirty information to talk about, such as one city per home, threatening association members to agree to shameless demands in exchange for orders and rankings, etc.

Anyway, in the eyes of "Number One in the World", almost all the members of the Watch Association who are on the ranking list are not good people. The key is that a lot of his dirty information is well-founded, and it seems that it is really true when someone digs it carefully. Therefore, although this account has unpleasant words, it still has many fans.

Seeing the pieces of black material and the scolding battle with Watchmaster fans, Xu Huo immediately imagined an old man with sparse white hair, staying up late staring at the terminal and squirting at people.

No need to think about it, this old man must be Mr. Xi. No wonder his shop has become a habit of being blocked. He comes online and offline. Although he doesn't do anything too radical, his bad words are enough to make others come to him when they are unhappy. The stubble.

However, the account "Tian Xia No. 1" did not mention its grievances with the Watch Association.

However, someone revealed his identity and vaguely mentioned an undisclosed lawsuit from more than 20 years ago.

The plaintiff is Mr. Xi. He wants to sue the Watch and Clock Association and the former president of the Watch and Clock Association for stealing his teacher's achievements. He did not mention what the results were.

Mr. Xi Lao’s teacher is not a famous person. Not to mention being on the ranking list, he is not well-known in the city where he lives. The only shining point is that he taught Mr. Xi Lao, his apprentice. More than 20 years ago, Xi Lao He is already very famous, ranking high on the watchmaking and toolmaking rankings, and many people from outside the area come to ask him to make props.

"Mr. Xi probably wanted to use his fame to compete with the Watch and Clock Association to seek justice for his teacher who had just passed away. However, the result was not ideal. After losing the lawsuit, Mr. Xi resigned from the Watch and Clock Association and the watchmaking association angrily. The Artifact Masters Association has stated that he will not make any more props for the government or the association until the day comes."

The fact is that the world can function as usual without anyone. The Watch and Clock Association and the Machine Makers Association even invited him several times at the beginning, but they had no choice but to give up when they saw that he was really stubborn. Outsiders could not give him orders through the association and come to him in person. , he also insisted on not answering. As time passed, no one gradually stopped looking for him.

Many people who didn't know the inside story thought that he had retired because of his old age. In fact, he opened a shop by himself and relied on his previous capital to make a living. After all, he was once a famous tool maker, and he was very important to 001. He has made contributions to the district and is old, so the government has its own welfare for him.

But he, like his teacher, was forgotten.

Not defeated and framed, but forgotten as an insignificant existence.

When your perceived enemy doesn't take you seriously at all, this kind of contempt will make people angry and lose their temper.

Although Mr. Xi had a bad temper when he became famous, he could still maintain basic courtesy, unlike now when he curses the world and earth on Jixin terminal.

However, if someone makes his past public, what will happen? At most, outsiders will sigh that it is none of their business.

He had just finished reading some of Mr. Xi's life stories when a debt collection call came. The old man's face appeared in the projection, and he urged him impatiently: "Have you decided? What props do you want? I am free and may not have the time in a few days."

"Do you have the materials?" Xu Huo said: "All the customers who entered the store were scolded away. Do you have money to buy?"

Please...collect_6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//Bar)

The old man said angrily: "Who do you look down on? My props If you take any of them out, there will be so many people fighting for them. Do you still worry about not having money to buy materials? "

But he made a patch, "We've agreed before, high-level props, don't be too picky."

Xu Huo smiled, "I can provide the materials for making props myself. Didn't you participate in the production of super instruments? It's okay for you to make an A-level prop for me?"

The old man thought for a while, "You helped me twice, it's okay to make you an A-level prop, but I don't use all materials. Don't bring out those that are not up to standard to embarrass yourself."

Xu Huo placed a few inferior stones on the table. (End of this chapter)
