High Energy QR Code: 51. Puppet City

After tossing about with the big mirror for a while, he was also tired, mentally tired, so he tossed around for a long time, cleared up a place beside Xing Ye, and sat next to him.

In such a dark environment, it's good to have someone... a mirror to accompany you.

The company made the night less scary, and the dolls, one big and one small, finally waited until dawn.

It was only then that Xing Ye saw the whole picture of the house. This is a very simple wooden house. The house is full of sundries, such as some wood and iron, and some tools, such as hammers and wrenches. , all run down.

Like an abandoned warehouse.

At this moment, Xing Ye finally saw the face of the big mirror clearly.

The big mirror is a puppet composed of two copper mirrors, one large and one small. The small mirror on the top is the head, and a copper strip is welded to the large copper mirror as the body in the middle. The copper strip can be used as the neck to barely move, but It always gives people a feeling of turning around. There are four movable brackets on the big bronze mirror, which should be the limbs. There are two crystal blocks on the small mirror, which look like eyes. The mouth can move and speak, there are no ears, and behind the small mirror is a small clockwork.

Reminiscing about Lu Mingze sleeping in a wheelchair like an angel, looking at the mirror man now, Xing Ye wrote a big word "ugly" in his heart.

But he thoughtfully didn't say it, the mirror would cry if he said it.

"Hahahahaha, Xing Ye, you are so ugly!" The big mirror laughed like a gong beside Xing Ye.

The bronze mirror was a bit blurry, but it was enough for Xing Ye to see himself.

A very pure puppet figure, with a broken right hand, a spring on the right waist, a neck, eyes, nose, mouth and ears, but no hair, and a bald head.

Well, the bottom is also bald.

But the mirror is the same, both of them looked at each other baldly, and laughed "hahahaha".

Xing Ye stood up, his body made a "creak" and "creak" sound, a bit like a machine that should be oiled.

Looking at his body in the big mirror, Xing Ye said: "I am very old and need to repair my body."

The same is true for the big mirror. The spring on his head is green, it should be rusty, and the copper rust is green.

I don't know how Master Benedict managed to make the mirror and puppets move. Well, this is a fairy tale world after all. How can anyone in the real world give a puppet humanity, and put his heart in the puppet before death, so that life can continue.

"Let's go out and have a look." The big mirror suggested, "There is really nothing in this room."

Xing Ye wanted to find some tools that could be attached to his right arm, but he didn't know much about the structure of his body, and he didn't understand how Master Benedict made the puppet move.

"Okay, let's go out and have a look, pretending to be a puppet." Xing Ye agreed.

He is very curious about the small town created by Benedict, and wants to know what it looks like here.

Pushing the moldy wooden door, the sun shines on the big mirror, shining brightly.

Hmm... the big mirror should be dusted, Xing Ye thought as he looked at the dust that was particularly obvious under the sun.

Xing Ye and Da Jing were stunned by the scene outside the door, it was actually a very prosperous small city.

"Oil, oil, oil it up, now there is a promotion in the store, buy one get one free, and the last puppet gets a puppet!" A puppet man kept yelling not far away.

There is also a clockwork shop next to the engine oil shop. The advertisement banner reads: The professional wind-up puppet created by Master Benedict personally winds up the wind for you. Be comfortable!

The text is not in Chinese, but Xing Ye and Xiao Jing can understand it unexpectedly. It should be that the system has entered text information for the players.

A little further away is a clothing store with a banner in front of the door: Are you still naked? Are you still not wearing a wisp? The puppet clothing store tailors the most suitable clothes for you, wears civilized clothes, and makes civilized puppets.

Xing Ye: "..."

Large mirror: "..."

They noticed that they were naked and suddenly felt ashamed of being naked.

The big mirror quickly retracted into the wooden house. He was too big, so he forgot to enter the door sideways, and almost got stuck in the door. It was Xing Ye who helped him turn sideways, and the big mirror barely found a suitable angle to enter the room.

"What should we do? We have no clothes..." the big mirror whispered to Xing Ye, "We are not civilized dolls!"

Xing Ye: "...wait a minute, I'll look through the pile of debris and see if I can find a piece of cloth to cover it up."

He took a deep breath... oh, the puppet doesn't breathe air, it just takes a deep psychological breath to decompress.

Xing Ye once thought that the period after his parents died was the most embarrassing time for him, but later he wore women's clothing; he thought he could not be worse than this when Claire was in charge, but now he is a one-meter-tall A disabled puppet living in a dusty dump, so poor that he doesn't even have clothes.

While rummaging through the pile of debris, Xing Ye suddenly realized a truth: Never feel that you are terrible at the moment, because you will be worse in the next second. Human beings can never see the bottom line of fate.

The poor one-meter disabled puppet just thought of these philosophical words, and immediately encountered a worse situation-after he turned over twice, the pile of debris fell down, and the one-meter disabled puppet was pressed under it.

Xing Ye: "..."

For the first time, I felt how difficult it is to be a puppet.

"Xing Ye!" The big mirror leaning against the wall escaped, because he was flat, like a mirror stuck on the wall, and was not touched by debris.

"Crack!" The overwhelmed puppet Xing Ye could only make such a miserable sound, the mainspring was stuck and could not continue to speak.

The big mirror waved its two green rusty copper arms, and with difficulty dug out the puppet Xing Ye from the sundries, and helped him clean up the small iron pieces stuck in the clockwork.

"I was negligent." The one-meter-high puppet looked at the pile of debris with a serious face, "My house has never been so messy, and my aunt cleaned it up."

"Me too..." The big mirror looked at the pile of debris like a mountain of garbage, worrying, "Living in such a house will make me depressed."

"Come on bit by bit, click." The puppet Xing Ye was so calm, his jaw dropped when he was speaking, and the puppet Xing Ye calmly pushed his chin up, "Click."

The two dolls rummaged through the pile of debris for a long time, and finally found two pieces of linen, wrapped them happily around their bodies, even if they were poor, they were still civilized dolls.

With clothes (linen) and clothes (cloth), Xing Ye feels much better, as calm as him, and can't accept other puppets looking at him with perverted eyes.

Sitting on the ground, the puppet Xing Ye said: "Just now I heard the little puppet in the engine oil shop yell, saying that the engine oil needs a piece of raw ore, which should be the currency of the puppet city. We need to remove rust, wind up the clockwork, and buy normal puppet wear Clothes, oil needs to be changed... to make money."

"I still need to find Cao Qian, your teammate, she is also a rebellious player, I don't know where she is now, we must meet up as soon as possible." The big mirror reminded.

"Well," Xing Ye admitted, "the raw ore sounds like she is going to mine, she is relatively strong and can help us make money."

Although the angles of concern are different, they really need to meet Cao Qian now.

The two puppets walked out of the wooden house again, and when they saw that the puppets around them were dressed in civilian clothes from western fairy tales, they couldn't help but bow their heads in shame.

The other puppets are commoners, they are beggars.

The one-meter disabled puppet stood near the engine oil store, watching the customers coming and going. The puppets don't need to sleep, they all get up with the sun, even though it's probably only early morning, the puppet city is already very lively.

A puppet with a height of 1.7 meters and an adult male with physical signs brought his... probably his wife. The two puppets walked into the engine oil store, took out a piece of ore and said, "This is a piece of raw ore. My wife and I want to put oil on it." .”

Xing Ye and the big mirror pricked up their ears like thieves, oh, the big mirror has no ears, only Xing Ye pricked up.

"Okay, please inside."

There was the sound of machinery dismantling inside, and about half an hour later, the adult male puppet walked out of the engine oil shop with his wife, stretched his body and said with satisfaction: "Well, it's really good to change the engine oil, the whole body is comfortable, my joints It is also more convenient to move around than before, and there was a 'creak' and 'creak' sound before."

Xing Ye: "..."

Every time he moved, there was a loud "creaking" sound.

"As long as you are satisfied, please pay the final payment, four pieces of raw ore." The puppet in the oil shop said.

"What!" The adult male puppet almost called out the sounder in its throat, "You clearly said that you can buy one and get one free for only one piece of raw ore, what's the matter with four more?"

"Sir, you can't just listen to the slogan, you have to read the price list posted in the store!" The puppet of the oil shop said angrily, "A piece of raw ore is only the price of engine oil, and what about the service fee for applying the oil? Even two pieces of raw ore, this is not a buy one get one free. The normal price is even three pieces of raw ore, we only charge five yuan now, which is very favorable!"

"Liar! Profits! I won't take the money!" said the customer puppet angrily.

"Huh? Do you want Bawang engine oil?" The oil shop puppet suddenly opened its stomach, and there was a black stone in it, "The customer bought Bawang engine oil, the business can't be done, I will spontaneously combust and die with you !”

"You, you carry coal with you? This is a contraband! I will sue you!" the customer puppet said angrily.

"We have a coal storage license and legally hold coal! The new energy puppet can carry the specified amount of coal, you country bumpkin who is behind in the news!" The oil shop puppet said holding a piece of paper, "You hand over Don't pay the raw ore? Don't pay me to burn coal!"

"I, we just pay it..." The customer puppet was scared, took out four pieces of raw ore from his stomach, and ran away.

Xing Ye: "..."

Large mirror: "..."

The big mirror is two meters tall, and he can't bend over, so he can't even whisper. He could only press the one-meter disabled puppet Xing Ye against the wall, flatten his body, and whisper as much as possible: "This place is so barbaric. I understand why Master Benedict wants the puppet city to return to its original state."

"Hush..." Xing Ye signaled the big mirror not to tell this matter outside.

He waved to the big mirror and followed the customer puppet as if nothing had happened.

The customer puppet said angrily: "It's so annoying, I have been cheated of all my hard-earned money these days!"

The puppet wearing a skirt beside her said: "Don't be angry, my husband. I'll just buy less clothes. You remember to go to the mine outside the city to mine the raw ore today. We have an appointment to wind the clock tomorrow."

"Okay, for my wife, I will work hard!" The customer puppet kissed his wife, and the two gradually walked away.

It turns out that you can go outside the city to mine raw ore in exchange for money.

After the customer puppet walked away, the puppet of the oil shop not far away suddenly shouted: "Liar! He gave me the fake ore as raw ore! Five pieces of raw ore, only one is real, big liar, I want to sue him !”

The owner of the clockwork shop next to him persuaded him: "Don't be angry, he can deny it. The sheriff knows that we all lie, and he can't identify who is lying. You still need to hand over two pieces of raw ore. Lost."

"Don't let me see him again!" The oil shop owner was so angry that steam came out of his ears.

The owner of the clockwork shop looked at him enviously: "Hey, the new steam puppet is good. It has metal protection inside and can burn coal to heat water to generate steam as kinetic energy. Its strength and speed are much stronger than our old ones. .If we forget to wind it for a day, we will not be able to move. You are a double-effect puppet of wind-up and steam, envy.”

"Hey, who told me that I was born late, you are my big brother." The puppet of the oil shop happily walked into the room with eyes steaming after being praised by the puppet of the clockwork shop.

As soon as he entered, the owner of the clockwork shop gave a "bah" sound: "I earn so much money every day, but I can't bear to repair it. Sooner or later, the exposed wood will be burned to death by coal. It's better to use our old version of puppets. The clockwork is much safer."

Xing Ye: "..."

Large mirror: "..."

It's a chaotic city, everyone is telling lies, I don't know how to find the only puppet who tells the truth, as well as teammates and other players.

"Let's go dig outside the city." Xing Ye, who only had one arm, said, "I have to remove the rust and oil it, otherwise I can't use the repainting pen. My fingers are very inflexible."

Not only was he inflexible, his five fingers could not be bent back.

Xing Ye's body is made of wood, but the joints are made of metal, which is convenient for movement and lubrication.

The big mirror dressed in sackcloth glanced enviously when passing by the clothes store, and saw the female puppet who said she didn't want to buy clothes just now walked into the clothes store and picked out another new dress.

"Too dishonest," the big mirror shook his head, "I can't even afford it, hey."

"We can't afford it either," Xing Ye said. "As long as you follow the people outside the city, you should be able to find mines outside the city. I don't know if there are any rules for mining. I think Cao Qian should be very poor, too. You may not be able to meet her in the mine. Guanling may not be the case. Players who follow their fate cannot be as poor as us."

While talking, he walked to the gate of the city. There are many puppets waiting to open the gate and leave the city, all kinds of puppets.

There are huge five-meter-high puppet figures, and 30-centimeter flexible iron figures. They are all in human form, but they are different in height, short, fat, and thin, and their materials gradually change with the growth of Master Benedict's skills.

Those new dual-kinetic puppet figures are very proud, with their heads held high and their toes high.

At this time, a skinny puppet was kicked out of the crowd by other puppets, and someone shouted: "Hey, stickman, don't go to the mine to harm everyone with flammable materials!"

As the name suggests, match dolls are puppets made of large matchsticks. He...or she was very thin, and her arm was broken by this kick.

He/she got up from the ground in embarrassment, clutching his broken arm, and saw Xing Ye who was holding the broken arm in his left hand.

Just looked at each other one more time in the group, and confirmed that the eyes are all unlucky ones.

The stick figure drew a symbol in the air, and Xing Ye immediately drew the same symbol.

The code is matched, the stickman is Cao Qian!
