Chapter 508 The Dwarf "Applies a Screen Protector" to His Phone
That's honest, but it doesn't really take business into consideration.
The comments section was already buzzing.
"Can't be cut by a knife?? What about the workers on the surface? Are they protected from shrapnel and sharp weapons?"
"Bulletproof vest, bulletproof arm guards!!"
"Isn't this just real-life defensive gear? The game has become reality!"
"Hey streamer, can you ask me if wearing the full suit will turn me into Superman, invincible and able to walk without stairs?"
Just as Zhang Xixi was about to take out her money to buy something as a token of appreciation, she caught a glimpse of a large crowd gathered around the corner of the counter.
It's ten times more lively than here.
She squeezed in with her selfie stick to take a look.
A huge wooden signboard with four large Chinese characters written on it—
[Rune Inscription]
The line below in smaller print:
"You can inscribe dwarven runes on your personal items, with effects including but not limited to: stability, levitation, water resistance, toughness, and sturdiness."
Zhang Xixi's big eyes widened in surprise when she saw someone engraving runes on a phone.
"etc....."
She watched it three times to make sure she wasn't hallucinating.
"Engrave runes on a phone???"
Behind the counter, several dwarf craftsmen with their beards braided into three braids were bowing their heads, their noses almost touching the table.
A smartphone made in Daxia was placed in front of him.
The craftsman held a silver carving knife, thinner than a toothpick, its tip gleaming with a faint blue light.
The lines on the back of the phone are meticulously crafted to the extreme.
With each stroke, blue light seeps into the plastic surface, like ink seeping into rice paper.
The tourists watching from the Great Xia Hotel held their breath, so quiet that they could hear the faint sound of the carving knife cutting through the phone case.
Approximately two minutes.
The dwarf craftsman straightened up and handed the phone back to a young man wearing glasses across from him.
"Alright, 'Sturdy' rune."
His voice was as rough as sandpaper scraping an iron plate.
"It won't break if you drop it."
"The rune is valid for seven days. After it expires, you need to buy an energy crystal to place on it to replenish the rune's energy."
The young man took the phone with both hands and turned it over to look at the back.
On the original pure black surface of the phone case, there is now a circular rune pattern the size of a coin.
The fine geometric lines interlock together, like a precise mechanical snowflake.
The runes glowed with a very faint blue light, almost invisible unless you looked closely.
The young man hesitated for a moment.
Then, he held the phone up to shoulder height and let go.
The phone slammed onto the stone surface.
The entire audience gasped.
The young man bent down and picked it up. The screen was intact, the back cover was intact, and there wasn't even a scratch on the screen.
The crowd erupted in uproar.
"Holy crap!!!"
"Indestructible?! Really indestructible?!"
"I won't need a phone case anymore, guys!"
The young man was stunned. He squatted down, held the phone in his hands, and looked as if he were holding a sacred object.
"How much?" someone behind them was already shouting.
The dwarf craftsman extended three thick fingers.
"Three silver coins."
Three hundred yuan.
Apply a "shatterproof" screen protector to your phone.
three hundred.
The line instantly stretched outside the door.
Zhang Xixi's comments weren't just flooding the screen, they were screaming.
"300 yuan for a crack-free screen protector! Tempered glass screen protector manufacturers go bankrupt en masse!"
"Dwarf: Your human creations are so crudely made, but you still have to take the money."
"My phone screen has cracked six times, costing over 3,000 yuan to repair. If I had known it could be fixed for 300 yuan, I would have cried!"
"Wait, there's also the Stability Rune! No more overheating while gaming?!"
What effect does having levitation runes engraved on shoes have? Does it allow them to fly???
Zhang Xixi squeezed to the counter and eagerly handed over her phone.
"I need a sturdiness rune!"
While the other party was engraving the runes, Zhang Xixi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked:
"Hello, esteemed dwarf, how much does it cost to inscribe a levitation rune?"
The dwarf didn't even look up and continued with his work.
"Eight silver coins will suffice, ma'am."
Eight hundred yuan.
The phone can float!
The phone can float!
buy!
"Then this one should be engraved too!" she slammed her hand on the counter.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Xixi got her phone back.
Two more rune clusters appeared on the back shell, as exquisite as a miniature work of art.
The first thing she did was let go.
The phone hovered in mid-air, steadily floating ten centimeters above her palm.
Quiet and still.
It's as if an invisible hand is holding it up in the air.
Zhang Xixi stared at the floating phone, completely stunned.
The color of her dress changed from orange to bright gold.
That was a color bordering on ecstasy.
The comments section went completely crazy.
"The phone is flying!! The phone is flying!!!"
"A magically modified phone! Cyberpunk and fantasy have crossed over into a collaboration!"
"Hey streamer, do you know what you look like right now? A gold dress and a floating phone—you look like a witch! Absolutely gorgeous!"
"Dwarves are awesome!!!"
"Oh no, oh no, I want to engrave runes on everything now! Can I even engrave an insulated water bottle?"
"Hey streamer, ask the dwarves if they have any Durability Runes!! My brother wants one!"
"Engrave an acceleration rune on a car engine, and it'll accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 0.5 seconds!"
Zhang Xixi ignored the comments and instead looked at her phone and gently pushed it with her finger.
The floating phone drifted slowly half a meter away in the direction of her fingertip, and then stopped.
She reached out and retrieved the phone, holding it close to her chest.
1100 yuan for two runes, what a bargain!
She wandered around the dwarf area for another twenty minutes...
While the dwarves' drinks and food weren't exactly delicious, they had their own unique flavor.
I bought a metal water cup engraved with the "constant temperature" symbol. The water I poured in stayed at fifty degrees Celsius, so I no longer had to worry about burning my mouth or getting cold. It cost three silver coins.
A cool necklace that keeps you cool so you don't even need to turn on the air conditioner.
A rune-engraved folding knife, engraved with the "sharp" rune, capable of cutting through anything she could handle; a cooking tool, costing three silver coins.
Generally speaking, the energy of a rune can only last for about seven days. After that, the energy in the rune will be exhausted, and it will need to be recharged with an energy crystal.
Charging is simple; just place it on the rune, and it will absorb the energy on its own.
For this reason, Zhang Xixi also spent two thousand yuan to buy two energy crystals.
Every time someone buys something, the comments section erupts with shouts of excitement.
As the clamor intensified, some people began seriously discussing the feasibility of forming a group to wholesale goods in Terra.
The money in my pocket is rapidly dwindling, but my shopping bag is getting fuller and fuller.
When Zhang Xixi walked out of the last shop in the dwarf district, she was carrying three bags in each hand, and her arms were aching.
The dress's color jumped back and forth between gold and orange, which was both exciting and a little tiring.
But their spirits remained high; everything on Terra was so new and exciting!
She continued walking and realized that the dwarf district had ended.
The scene ahead suddenly changed drastically once again.
It's an orc shop!
