Chapter 4: Ch.: 3. Making Drone, Night, Sneaking Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er
Man An after checking the vendor, he started to stroll the area and to see what type of products are famous among civilians and douqi cultivators.
He saw various types of clothing stores, pill and medicine selling stores, armour selling stores, weapon selling stores, hunter weapons and accessories selling stores, food sellers, mercenary teams, treasure(fraud) selling stores, etc.
Man An found that weapon, pill, medicine and armours are highly sought products, after them comes accessories like ropes, bandages, leather boots-gloves, tents, spices, etc.
Clothes, jewellery, food are highly sought by civilians or nobles and rich people of city.
While strolling he saw a red shard, which attracted his attention and he stepped forward and looked at shard very intently.
"Uncle what thing is this?" Man An asked the seller uncle.
"This is Amethyst shard, if given to those alchemists they can make scene recording shards out of this amethyst shard, but that thing is so expensive that no one dares to buy them." Seller uncle explained to Man An patiently as he saw him talking to Manager and being assigned a shop at middle area of xiao family market, he must have quiet a connections.
"Why afraid? Isn't that thing is good thing." Man An asked in confusion.
"Because after transformed by alchemists, the shard will become very weak and once the douqi in it is dissipated the scene recorded will be erased." Seller told the reason.
"Than what is the price of this shard?" Man An asked.
"Hmm the price is 100 gold coins, but looking at you as a new businessman, I will give it to you for 80 gold coins." Seller replied.
"Than uncle can you let me borrow the money, I will pay you the money in one month, that's my shop." Man An asked and pointed to his shop, so seller can be convinced that he will not run away.
"Okay, I can but you have to pay full 100 gold coins, okay." Seller said.
"Okay." Man An nodded.
He picked up the amethyst shard and turned to walk towards his cottage.
He needs this amethyst shard very much.
After reaching cottage he closed the door and took out materials from unde the stone slab of floor.
"Now I have this amethyst shard, I can make drone." Man An muttered to himself.
He looked at the materials.
Black iron, bronze, silver coins, silica quartz, amethyst shard, fire attribute beast core 1st rank, drone and its remote control imitation made from 3D printer.
As for the beast core he have to please in front of an old woman seller to borrow it to him, he owes 200 gold coins for beast core.
Man An put the imitation in 1st slot and materials in second slot and explained the working of drone and it's remotes control.
He saw that it needs two hours to make the drone, he stood up and put the empty douqi battery back in dou qi absorber panel.
He laid on his new bed, which was quite soft and decided to take a nap.
Man An woke up and found that it is evening time, he walked to his small stove and started to prepare his food.
He kneaded the wheat flour with mixing water in it from time to time, after seeing the flour is kneaded, not much tight but still slimy, he started to break small balls from the kneaded flour and made chapati using cylendrical wood.
After making few chapati's he put the oil in big pot and heated it, after a while he put the spices in it and waited for them to be slightly brown, than he put the chopped potato and cauliflower in it and closed the lid, after waiting for a while he removed the lid and started to stir the vegetable inside to pot.
After he saw food was cooked he started eating it.
Man An washed the utensils and stood up and walked to his bed and zoomed in the tech panel.
He saw a high tech drone and remote control with runes in the slot.
He took it out and felt the metallic luster and feel of high tech from his hands.
He was satisfied with work of the system.
He put the drone on ground and picked up the remote control and turned the switch to on.
The runes on drone and remote control started equally, they flew like (I don't know how to explain) very satisfying.
He used his right palm's finger to make drone fly and clicked on the live camera function.
The Amethyst shard fixed beneath lit with a wave and a hologram appeared from the amethyst shard on remote control.
He turned drone right and left, after gaining familiarity with drone's driving function he thought of something and used his fingers to drive the drone.
Drone quickly changed it's direction and flew out of the cottage through window and approached Xiao Clan area.
After a while it reached above the living residence of high level people of Xiao clan.
Drone just circled the living area, the image was transmitted back to the remote control and 4K picture quality was shown in 3D hologram.
As it was time when a average person sleeps.
After a while he was bored but didn't stopped.
He saw a sneaky person slowly walking toward a relatively quiet house.
Just as the sneaky figure climbed half the wall, drone stopped down with velocity and hit the leg of sneaky figure.
"Ahhhh....(Silence*)" The figure who just yelled after falling quickly covered his mouth and walked away from the house, walking lamely holding his leg in one hand.
The figure looked at a dark disk which flew in air with anger.
A shadow appeared on the roof of house and looked at the sneaky figure walking away quickly.
The figure raised its head and looked at drone flying away.
Man An didn't know that he was spotted.
The black figure quickly flew in air and followed the drone.
After the black figure saw the drone entering the cottage through window, it disappeared in shadows as it never existed.
On the other side.
The black figure materialized in a room where a girl wearing gloves was sitting on bed and looking at him calmly.
"Tell me what happened." The girl asked the man in black to explain the situation.
"Miss, son of Xiao Zhan was about to sneak in here, but a black flying artifact hit Xiao Yan on leg, making him run away. Sorry Miss because of my haste in investigating the Xiao clan, someone was about to sneak in." Ling Ying explained to Xun'er.
"And whose that black artifact was?" Xun'er asked.
"The boy who sold you those toys and gloves." Ling Ying answered.
"Hmm interesting, we will visit his shop tomorrow, I can feel the douqi in these gloves emptying slowly, I have to fill it back." Xun'er said.
"Yes Miss." Ling Ying disappeared after saying yes.
On the other side.
"Ahhhh my legs what was that thing, looks like drone from the novels I read in my previous life, but that thing was definitely very small and advanced not like the drones I have seen in my previous life, where drones were double the size of this black one and as slow as turtle." Xiao Yan yelled in pain while applying the medicine on his leg where drone hit him just a few minutes ago.
"Looks like I'm not only one in this world, there are others, who were also reborn in this world." Xiao yan muttered to himself.
"I have to increase the intensity of my practice and strive to become Dou Huang or Dou Emperor quickly." Xiao Yan muttered to himself.
On the other side.
"Hahaha Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, if you pursue xun'er righteously, I have no problem, but it is despicable to tie the heart of young girl by sneaking in her room so late in night." Man An laughed loudly, holding his stomach while looking at 3D hologram video repeating the scene where Xiao Yan was walking away quickly buy quiet lamely.
"Well now I should make quiet a big amount of figurines." Man An said to himself and took out the charged douqi battery and put it in the 3d printer and started to print out 3d stone figurines.
After working for a few hours until douqi was depleted, he laid on his bed and slept.
Next morning, Man An packed the figurines in cloth bag and walked towards the area where he was assigned a vendor.
After reaching he cleaned the vendor of dust and started putting the figurines in orderly manner in different categories like fairy and gods were sitting on high place, warrior and humans against Warcraft, ghosts and demons.
He used strings to tie the demons and ghosts in air so, it looked like a battleground.
A battleground where gods and fairies were observing from the heavens and humans were fighting against invasion of warcrafts, demons and ghosts.
