C15 Provocation
He didn't know when it was, but he was still drowsy and his eyelids kept shaking. He didn't know when they would reunite.
Sleeping in the dust was obviously impossible, so Tie Xiao Jun found a broken broom outside the door, broke the dustpan, and began to clean. After a few rounds of cleaning, the problem of a few beds had finally been solved, but now Tie Xiao Jun was wobbling on the floor.
But after working so hard for so long, Tie Xiaoyan would definitely not be willing to fall on the bed in the end.
He fell asleep immediately and in the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. There were no cocks announcing the arrival of the second day, but there was a unique bell that rang out from Iron City, it was a very loud, melodious and heavy bell. Although Tie Xiaoyan had worked very hard last night, he still woke up when he heard this bell, even though his face was full of fatigue.
"Sigh, I'm so tired." Tie Xiao-jun knew that today was his first day of work, so he didn't dare to be negligent. However, his eyes were cloudy, and even when he opened his eyes, he still felt like he was sleeping.
Tie Xiao Jun didn't want to miss the early morning news report, so he slapped himself hard to wake him up a little.
Afterwards, Tie Xiao Jun got up and washed himself. He then took his work clothes and put them on together with the bedding. After that, he put the identity token on his body and prepared to leave.
But suddenly, Tie Xiaoyan saw something that looked like a tree branch beside the empty bag.
"What is this?" Tie Xiao-jun stepped forward and picked it up. When he took a closer look, he found it was a chisel, but he didn't know when it had appeared.
"The door is closed. Although it is useless, who would send me a chisel?" He couldn't help but scratch his head, but suddenly his eyebrows twitched. He remembered that he did fall out yesterday when he took out the blanket, but because he was too tired, he didn't study it carefully.
"Forget it, let's leave it for now. We'll talk about it when we get back. The gathering now is more important." Tie Xiaoyan almost fell into deep thoughts. However, he immediately left the room as soon as he remembered that they were going to gather together. He casually threw the chisel into the bag.
There was a very spacious square where all the workers had gathered to register and report on the event. There were many people around the square who were instructors in Iron City, and each of them was responsible for a portion of the identity tokens. Tie Xiao-jun asked around and found his instructor, then went to eat after the report.
No one knew about Tie Xiaoyan's arrival other than that instructor. Because of the large number of people and the fact that Tie Xiaoyan didn't live in the new dorm, no one had noticed the new arrival, and Tie Xiaoyan naturally didn't care about this new arrival. It was better that no one was concerned, because it was much more peaceful this way.
Quickly eating dinner, Tie Xiao-jun started his work. After asking his instructor, Tie Xiao-jun found out that his job was to chop firewood, although he had never done it in the village, he had seen it before, so he was not unfamiliar with it. In addition, that teacher told Tie Xiao-jun about the workload.
When he handed in the task, he was surprised to find that a lot of people had the same work as him, while the amount of work he had to do was extremely few. He was puzzled, but he was not in the mood to care, so after handing in the task, he went to his mentor to register, then went to eat dinner, then returned to his dorm.
When he returned to his dorm room, he found that the shabby door had already been cleaned up and replaced with a new one. He pushed open the door and saw the new key on his desk.
"Hmm, not bad. The door is quite sturdy." Tie Xiao Jun couldn't help but knock on the door and sigh. The reason he came back so quickly was to check the door. If it wasn't for Tie Xiao Jun bringing the incense from the village, he would have been bitten to death by the mosquitoes yesterday.
He put the key in his pocket, closed the door, lit the lamp and took out a mysterious chisel.
That was no ordinary chisel. If one looked carefully, they would be able to see tiny lines on it. There was a mysterious and obscure feeling to it. Moreover, the chisel was completely green, as if it was a piece of jade.
Tie Xiao-jun held it in his palm, and then tested it out. He found it was a bit heavy, and then he lightly touched it on the ground. A small crack began to spread under Tie Xiao-jun's amazed eyes, and only stopped after it was ten centimeters longer.
"Hiss, isn't this thing too sharp?" Tie Xiaoyan couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. However, upon closer inspection, he discovered that the tip of the chisel wasn't sharp at all. On the contrary, it was a bit dull.
"What's going on?" Tie Xiao-jun curiously stretched out his hand, but when he thought of the crack on the ground, he couldn't help but shiver. Then he got up and walked over to the wooden table and lightly touched the tip of the chisel on the table.
"Crack!" The sound was extremely loud, and Tie Xiaoyan couldn't help but hold his breath. The crack started to spread rapidly, and soon covered the entire table. Fortunately, the crack wasn't that deep, so the table wasn't broken.
"What's going on?" Tie Xiao Jun was filled with doubts, but he couldn't figure it out. He could only shake his head and sit down at the table.
However, the moment he sat down, he felt dizzy and his body began to feel tired. His vision also dimmed for a moment.
The sudden situation surprised Tie Xiaoyan, and he soon thought of the fact that he had slept too late yesterday. However, there was no reason for him to feel weak inside his body, because there was no limit to the amount of food he could provide.
"Is there a problem with the food?" Impossible, so many people are eating. " Tie Xiao-jun thought that it might be a problem with the food, but since so many people had already eaten, how could he, Tie Xiao-jun, be so unlucky? If only he had eaten the bad food, then …
Tie Xiaoyan lowered his head and looked at the chisel in his hand. If there was such a feeling of weakness ever since, it was when he had touched the chisel. After careful analysis, he had actually started using the chisel.
In order to verify his guess, Tie Xiaoyan got up and squatted on the ground again. He gently touched the ground with the chisel in his hand and a crack appeared. But this time, it was only four to five centimeters long.
Sitting back on the bench, Tie Xiaoyan's face was solemn. From this experiment, it seemed that the culprit was this mysterious chisel.
He could not understand why the chisel made him feel weak, and after a few uses it seemed to have weakened.
In the next moment, Tie Xiao Jun suddenly thought of something and quickly closed his eyes, inspecting his body.
Not long after, Tie Xiao Jun opened his eyes, but the doubt on his face had disappeared and was replaced with surprise and joy.
"I know. This chisel can only display its power after absorbing the power of steel. The reason why I feel weak is because the power of steel in my body has been sucked out." Tie Xiao-jun could clearly feel that the iron power stored in his body had disappeared quite a bit.
Holding the mysterious chisel in his hand, Tie Xiaoyan didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, the powerful weapon that dropped from the sky gave him the confidence to stand firm in Steel City.
Carefully putting away the chisel, Tie Xiaoyan sat cross-legged on the bed and began to recover the iron power within his body. Although there was no fine steel, the iron power in the air was enough for Tie Xiaoyan to recover.
Two hours had passed, and Tie Xiao Jun's iron power had finally fully recovered. He then washed up and slept, preparing for the second day's work.
As soon as the sky brightened, the deep and resounding ringing of the bell could be heard as Tie Xiaoyan tidied up his clothes and went out to lock the door. He then began his day's work.
Although Tie Xiaoyan was very low-key, he had too many people and some things couldn't be stopped. Once again, many people saw that Tie Xiaoyan had completed his mission.
"Look, did you see that? That seems to be a newcomer." "That's right, he actually completed the mission. If this goes on, he will definitely get his share of this month's rewards." Yes, boss, why don't we hurry up and extort some money? Newcomers are incredibly rare right now, but if you don't take the chance, then just give it to someone else. " After saying that, that person looked around and found that there were many people staring at Tie Xiao Jun.
"Humph!" You have some guts, okay? "This is my territory. If I say 'no', would they dare to steal my prey?" The young man who had been called the boss could not help but glare at that person as he lectured.
"Yes, yes, yes. The boss is right, I am a coward." That person had clearly just arrived and did not understand the current situation. However, he had said something wrong due to his desire to show off.
"Humph!" The boss snorted and then swaggered his way up.
When the surrounding people saw that their boss had made his move, they all sighed and gave up on their plans. Obviously, their boss had quite the reputation here.
"Hey!" "Little brat!" The boss rudely addressed him.
Hearing this, Tie Xiao Jun knew some bastards had come, so he frowned and looked at the boss.
The instructor on the side also frowned when he saw this, but he did not try to dissuade them. After all, this was an order from the authorities and they would not interfere in any battle. However, they would investigate only if there was a fatal fight.
"What can I do for you, brother?" Tie Xiao-jun followed the rules of treating people with respect and cupped his fist politely.
Hearing that, the boss laughed out loud, "Brother?" Which f * cking brother of yours dares to come and mess around without even knowing the people here? "
