from a cat to the God of death

Si Lanyi's real discovery was not this.

But the pedestrians passing by, on the back of their exposed left hands, actually had a black tattoo composed of a circle and a six-pointed star, exactly the same as the tattoo of the round-faced girl in the convenience store.

Suddenly.

Si Lanyi paused.

He stared at a vendor selling breakfast not far away without blinking.

Just now...

Did I see it wrong?

It happened that the big girl who was free also walked to the breakfast stall at this time and pointed to one of the foods that looked like meat patties.

The vendor neatly wrapped two meat patties in oil paper and handed them to her.

After the girl took the breakfast.

But she didn't take out money or mobile phones.

She just stretched out her left hand, and the tattoo on the back of her hand seemed to light up slightly, but the light was very faint and could not be noticed without careful observation.

At this time, the vendor also stretched out his left hand.

He swept the air about a few centimeters above the back of the girl's hand.

Then, the girl took the breakfast and left with a twist of her waist.

The whole process was smooth and flowing.

Si Lanyi widened his eyes, full of confusion.

What does this...

mean?

Just scan the back of the hand in the air and it's done?

Meow!

QR code payment isn't that outrageous, right?!

You don't even need to show the code, just scan the tattoo directly?

So... that tattoo actually has a payment function?

Si Lanyi couldn't help but have questions in his mind.

He squatted in the corner and continued to observe.

In the next two or three minutes, several people bought things at the breakfast stall one after another.

Without exception.

All paid through the tattoo on the back of their hands.

At this time, a figure came from a distance.

When the vendor saw the person coming, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Si Lanyi followed the vendor's line of sight and his eyes fell on the figure who was swaying towards him, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

This is a little fat boy who looks about thirteen or fourteen years old.

The round face and the belly are also very high. When he walks, the flesh on his body trembles.

But this is not the point.

There is no tattoo on the left hand, and there is no tattoo on the right hand.

This little fat boy actually has no black tattoo?

The vendor was a middle-aged man with some vicissitudes of life on his face, but when he saw the fat boy, his wrinkles were all smiling and he greeted him warmly: "Little Fatty, why are you here so early today?"

The fat boy didn't seem to like this name very much, and frowned slightly.

But he still walked to the breakfast stall, raised his fleshy fingers, and ordered arrogantly.

"This, five."

"That, yes, the one that looks like a steamed bun, give me ten."

"And the golden cake over there, give me five too."

The fat boy ordered several things in one breath, with no intention of stopping, and turned his fingers to the other side and continued to order.

The smile on the vendor's face stiffened visibly with each click of the fat boy's fingers.

When the fat boy ordered the third thing, the arc of his mouth corners was obviously restrained, and the smile lines at the corners of his eyes also faded.

Si Lanyi looked at the subtle changes in the vendor's expression, his face full of puzzlement.

What's going on?

The more he sells, the happier he should be?

Why does he look like he swallowed a fly?

At this time.

The vendor coughed dryly and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Little Fatty, why did you order so much today? Can you finish it?"

Hearing this, the little fat boy corrected with a somewhat dissatisfied tone:

"I told you, don't call me little fat boy!"

"Usually I order less because I have extra food. Today my mother got up late and didn't make breakfast for me. Isn't it normal for me to eat more?!"

The vendor laughed awkwardly twice and didn't answer. He quickly packed the food ordered by the little fat boy.

The little fat boy took the big bag of breakfast with some effort, and then took out a coin-sized black crystal from his pocket.

"One time crystal, is it enough?"

The vendor took the black crystal, and the smile on his face instantly became much more sincere.

"Enough, enough, handsome boy, take care."

However, the fat boy suddenly pointed at the vendor and yelled, "Okay! I knew you were a profiteer! I usually only buy a few cakes, but you charged me a time crystal!"

"I bought so many things today, but you still charged me a time crystal, you

Do you think I'm easy to bully because I'm young? "

The vendor was startled by his sudden shout.

Looking around, he saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he lowered his voice and put on a flattering smile on his face: "Oh, handsome boy, don't say that."

"Think about it yourself. When you first came to buy something from me, I said I would give you change, but you said you didn't like the small change and it was troublesome?"

The little fat man was reminded by him.

The round face couldn't help but blush slightly, as if he remembered that it was true.

He opened his mouth and wanted to refute a few words, but he couldn't find the right words.

In the end, he could only glare at the vendor, snorted, and walked away with the big bag of breakfast without looking back.

Watching the little fat man disappear at the corner of the street.

The vendor spat in the direction of his departure with disdain: "Bah! Fatty, you're not afraid of being stuffed to death after eating so much! "

Take all of this in your sight.

Si Lanyi finally understood why the vendor had that expression before.

But what is time crystal?

The currency of this world?

Si Lanyi stared at the black crystal in the vendor's hand.

After the vendor finished scolding, the unhappiness on his face was swept away, and he weighed the time crystal in his hand happily.

Then.

He placed the black crystal on the tattoo on the back of his hand.

The next second.

The black tattoo pattern seemed to come alive, and a very faint light was slightly lit, and the black crystal was like melting ice and snow, and it merged into the tattoo in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene.

Si Lanyi was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

Tattoo...payment...time crystal...

Time crystal...

Time?!

An absurd but seemingly extremely reasonable idea flashed through Si Lanyi's mind.
