001 Huang Zhong with a compound bow

"Tian boy, rent a compound bow and a hundred arrows."

With a "bang", two strings of copper coins were thrown onto the cash register.

Zhuge Tian raised his head and said unhappily, "Old Huang, this little money isn't even enough to buy arrows. Are you going to buy on credit again?"

"Oh, the enemy is about to attack the city. Am I not protecting you?" Huang Zhong said unhappily, "I'll make up for it when the military pay arrives this month."

"I've never seen you buy things on credit in your benefactor's store!" Zhuge Tian said as he handed a compound bow to Huang Zhong and took out a few buckets of arrows and counted them.

"Oh, stop counting! The enemy army is about to attack the city!"

After Huang Zhong finished speaking, he grabbed several buckets of arrows, picked up his compound bow and was about to leave.

"Don't die, old man Huang. If you want to die, settle the accounts first." Zhuge Tian shouted, looking at Huang Zhong's back.

Huang Zhong didn't look back, but just threw the thing in his hand to his personal soldiers, and then raised his middle finger in the direction of Zhuge Tian behind him.

"This old guy shouldn't have taught him these things!"

This old man named Huang Zhong was one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Kingdom in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

But now it is the second year of Jian'an, and he is still a General of the Central Army under Liu Biao, responsible for guarding Deng County.

Half a year ago, I inexplicably came from the end of the world to Deng County during the Three Kingdoms period, and my convenience store came with me.

Huang Zhong's son was critically ill at the time and was seeking medical treatment throughout the city.

After being cured with the medicine in his store, Zhuge Tian temporarily settled down in Deng County.

Thanks to the care of the defending general Huang Zhong, no one came to cause trouble even though his shop was strange.

Only Huang Zhong discovered the magic of this store and came here to buy things from time to time.

He put the five-zhu coins that Huang Zhong had just placed on the cash register into his own cash register. The coins disappeared one by one, and the balance on the cash register began to increase.

This is Zhuge Tian’s golden finger.

After arriving in the Three Kingdoms inexplicably, the cash register gave me the first task: to get to know a famous general of the Three Kingdoms.

Old Man Huang is naturally among the famous generals.

After completing the task, he will be able to exchange the Wuzhu coins from the Three Kingdoms period for his own balance.

And through the shopping platform on the cash register, just like in the past, you can purchase items that can be bought in the end times.

"I didn't expect that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, we still had to make money!" Zhuge Tian complained.

After putting in all the two strings of money, the balance increased by 2000 yuan to more than 4 yuan.

The exchange rate of this cash register is exactly one penny to one dollar.

Open the shopping platform of the cash register, which is divided into several major categories.

Food; equipment; medicine and groceries.

They are all products of the end times.

Food is naturally the most important thing in the end times, but the prices are not cheap.

Then comes the equipment.

The main things here are armor and weapons.

The protective gear ranges from simple trash can lids and broken car doors to more advanced welding helmets, rugby uniforms, explosion-proof shields, etc.

Among weapons, the price of firearms is outrageous, especially the price of ammunition is almost catching up with that of firearms.

Most of them are transformed from post-apocalyptic wastelands.

There is no way. The industrial base of the apocalypse has been basically destroyed, and guns have become a very scarce resource.

The prices of various cold weapons are quite reasonable. Although many of them are strange in shape, they are definitely enough for the Three Kingdoms period.

If there is a piece of rebar inside, you can call it the Kanglong Mace in the Three Kingdoms period.

Most of the medicines are used to treat trauma.

After all, if you have a headache or fever in the end times, you will most likely have to endure it on your own without taking medicine.

Finally, the items in the groceries category are a bit messy.

Commonly used items in the apocalypse include rainwater purifiers, solar panels, outdoor glow sticks, etc., and the prices vary.

After thinking about it, I bought two hundred arrows, two packs of hot pot base and some ingredients, spending more than 3000 yuan.

"Hey, we're all so familiar with each other, and you didn't even offer me a discount!"

Muttering in dissatisfaction, Zhuge Tian went to the warehouse at the back, threw all the ingredients in it into the refrigerator, and then placed the arrows on an empty shelf.

After finishing all these, he walked out of his shop. Hearing the shouts and screams coming from the city wall not far away, he walked over.

Although the Three Kingdoms period was also called a chaotic era, it was still much better than the end of the world.

At least here you don't have to be on guard against everyone around you.

The defenders of Deng County under the city wall all knew Zhuge Tian and knew that he was a close friend of their general. When they saw him coming, they did not stop him and let him go up the city wall directly.

"Hahaha, damn it! Come on! Whoever comes will die!" Before he could even get on top, he heard Huang Zhong's loud laughter: "With that little tattered armor, you think you can block Grandpa Huang's magic arrows!"

After going up, looking out from the battlements, I saw about two or three hundred corpses left below the city, and an estimated number of more than a thousand people fleeing in panic.

No one knows where these bandits came from. I guess they heard that there were only 400 defenders in Deng County, so they wanted to come and plunder.

Little did they know that although the defending general Huang Zhong is not well-known now, he is very capable.

Especially the bow and arrow, which was very creative.

Zhuge Tian, ​​who opened a shop in the end times, also saw some adventurers who were good at using bows and arrows.

But compared with Huang Zhong, he is probably not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

"Boy, why didn't you come earlier to see what I, Huang, can do!" Huang Zhong saw Zhuge Tian and slapped him on the shoulder.

Even the physique he had trained in the apocalypse was shaken by this blow, which shows how strong the old man Huang's hand is.

"Just a few bandits, let's see what we can do!" Zhuge Tian pursed his lips and said, "Did you break my bow?"

"Don't worry, it's a treasure!" Huang Zhong returned the compound bow to Zhuge Tian, ​​but kept the arrows. The bow was rented, but the arrows were bought with money.

Zhuge Tian put away his bow and asked, "Have you not found the person I asked you to inquire about yet?"

"No!" Huang Zhong shook his head. "Zhuge Liang, the brother-in-law of Kuai Qi, a prominent family from Xiangyang. I haven't heard he's come to Jingzhou yet."

"Anyway, please keep an eye on him for me. He should be here soon." Zhuge Tian said.

Before the second year of Jian'an, Zhuge Liang followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan, the prefect of Yuzhang, but Zhuge Xuan will die this year, and then Zhuge Liang will come to Jingzhou.

Longzhong Village is not far from Deng County where he is, and he is waiting for Zhuge Liang here.

It’s not because everyone has the surname Zhuge or for any other reason.

Just because it's a task on the cash register.

It was when I met Huang Zhong that I was able to use the shopping platform in the cash register to buy things.

The next task is to get to know Zhuge Liang, and the reward is still unknown.

Arranging his men to clean up the battlefield, Huang Zhong said with a hearty smile, "Today is your birthday, right? Come to my house. I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook you some delicious food, and we can even have a couple of drinks."

Zhuge Tian was stunned: "How do you know today is my birthday?"

"Last time when we were drinking and talking about Xu'er's birthday, didn't you mention that your birthday happened to be a month early?"

The Xu'er Huang Zhong mentioned was Huang Xu, his eldest son, who was saved by Zhuge Tian.

Zhuge Tian suddenly felt a little touched. It seemed that the feeling of being remembered by others was not bad!

"Forget it. Your so-called fine wine is as good as horse urine."

Although Zhuge Tian was touched in his heart, he still spoke very harshly.

"Come to my place and call my sister-in-law, Xu'er, and Xiaodie. I just got some good ingredients!"

"Hahahaha, that's what I wish for, but I dare not ask you!"

Huang Zhong did not bother to be polite with Zhuge Tian. He called a personal soldier and asked him to go home and call his wife and children.

He followed Zhuge Tian directly back to Zhuge Tian’s convenience store.

Although it was not his first time here, he was still very curious about everything here.

Zhuge Tian never told anyone about his origins, so he didn't ask.

But in his heart, he already regarded Zhuge Tian as an immortal.

The compound bow put back on the shelf should be the weapon used by the heavenly soldiers.

The round ball on the head that always shines without the need for fire should be a real night pearl.

There are also various things that cannot be named, which shows that these should not exist in the world.

"Old man Huang, take down the gas tank."

Zhuge Tian carried the ingredients, a gas stove and a large double-flavored hot pot, while Huang Zhong lifted the more than 30-kilogram gas tank with just a hook of his finger.

He had used this jar before. Zhuge Tian said that it was full of air and could be used for burning fire and cooking for a long time. It was probably the air from the fairyland.

How can there be anything in the world that can start a fire?

Soon, Huang Zhong's wife, son and daughter all arrived.

He was holding two food boxes in his hands, which were originally prepared for Zhuge Tian's birthday celebration.

"It smells so good!" Huang Xu stretched his neck and smelled it, then said mischievously.

"Haha, it smells good. I'm happy today, so I'll give you something good to drink!" Zhuge Tian said happily.

Zhuge Tian celebrated his eighteenth birthday during the Three Kingdoms period. Only after today did he truly become an adult.
