A Failure's hopeful Journey

Chapter 235: Fernier.

Imperial Sector, You Xi Wang was strolling through the busy streets, he was looking for a shop to buy himself a good set of gloves, dagger, and combat shoes. In his mind, he decided the direction to evolve. 

He had three spirit weapons mastered, the next weapon would be his fist, dagger, and kick. This was because he had three main weapon categories mastered. The bow for long-range, the spear for mid-range, and the sword for short-range combat. It is not always possible to use weapons instantly so close combat should be strong. 

He found himself in a shop which had almost no customer. He did not think much but walked inside casually. The shop was anything but clean and pretty. A thick layer of dust was left on the floor with some footprints. A dingy counter was placed on the right-hand side as soon as you entered.

Behind the counter stood a man wearing an eyepatch and bandana. He seemed to be dozing off. You Xi Wang spoke, "Uncle, do you have some good brawler gloves, dagger, and Combat boots?" it may seem that he is casual but his words and tone were concise and not too flamboyant. 

The man replied as he sat in his chair, "Two rules of sales, First clean the shop. Two, the customer should be a master of two-spirit weapons."

You Xi Wang was surprised but looking at the shop it won't take too much effort so he waved his hand and a small twister, as tall as his knees, formed on the ground. Under You Xi Wang's control, the twister gathered all the dust spread in the entire shop. He guided the twister to a dustbin. Then he made a water sprout of the same length and used the same technique to spray the shop with tiny droplets. 

The master of the shop slightly opened his right eye, glanced at the process but kept lying down there like a log. He did not know that all his actions were being scanned by the system.

The system spoke, [Yo, Master. This old guy is as strong as Achilles. Just remove the killing intent.]

You Xi Wang was surprised as he heard this but he did not show it on the face. After the water sprout was done with spraying, the boy picked up a towel, and then his figure flashed. In thirty minutes he cleaned the shop. Then glanced at the old man who was still lying there like a log of wood. 

He smirked and the next moment the old man was trapped inside a blob of water, technically, he should be scared but his strength was enough to dispel it. The reason why he got caught up in this was that he did not expect You Xi Wang to pull off something like this.

He waved his hand and dispelled the blob and was about to roar in anger when a strong heatwave dried him up. 

You Xi Wang spoke, "The shop is now clean, Sir."

The old man who was about to angry suddenly stopped. Then he decided to ask the reason behind this young man's action. He asked in a calm tone, "Tell me, what is the reason for you to trap me inside the blob of water?"

You Xi Wang replied, "You said, clean the shop. So just like Dao is me and I am Dao. You are the shop and the shop is you. Thus, I cleaned you as well."

The old man was shocked and he closed his eyes, You Xi Wang felt the concentration of the spirit energy increased in the shop and it all seemed to be moving to the old man. After a few minutes, the old man opened his eyes. He spoke, "You are good seed. Who is your master?"

You Xi Wang replied, "Alester Book." his voice was calm.

The shopkeeper received another shock in his heart. He spoke, "The educator found himself a good treasure."

You Xi Wang humbly bowed slightly. The old man continued, "I am Fernier Canine. Well, you did complete the first part. What about the second condition?"

You Xi Wang waved his hand and three weapons appeared next to him. The old man only had one of his eyes left, as soon as it fell on the weapons it shone. He nodded, "Not bad, you also have a dual affinity."

You Xi Wang chuckled, "Do I?"

The old man glanced at him again, he stammered, "Fuck, Fi... Five elements. Are you kidding brat?"

You Xi Wang shook his head. The old man said, "Wait here, I have what you need."

With that said he went to the shelf behind him and took out three boxes. He opened the first one and said, "White Tiger Brawler Gloves. Made from a meteorite that fell on Metropia back in the days. A white tiger was present near the collision and thus the spirit resides inside. Compatible with earth and metal element." inside the box lied two white transparent gloves. Engraved with exquisite array patterns. You Xi Wang was satisfied with these.

Fernier opened the second box and said, "Silver hornet Dagger, the fastest bird found in Metropia. The dagger is made from star iron and tungsbin allow. The spirit of Light Hornet, a level 8 magic beast rests inside. Compatible with the wind element." a blueish dagger, covered with arrays was revealed.

The third box opened and inside were two knee-high boots. They looked like a normal boot but the toe of the boots had a plate wrapped around. Fernier Canine introduced, "Ram Boots, the leather is derived from a level 7 beast diamond horn ram. The horn was melted and processed to be the toe plate. The arrays make it flexible and comfy during commute and the kick is powerful enough to kill a level 6 beast in one swoop. Again earth attribute."

You Xi Wang was done. This was the best set of weapons he could have found in one shop. He asked, "How much do I pay?"

Fernier said, "Call you old master here, that bastard has not shown his face in decades. I will have him bleed. Hahaha..."

You Xi Wang happily agreed, called his master urgently, and then the three people had a good time. Afterward You Xi Wang left the shop and headed to the hotel. On the way, he met Gena Langford.
