Chapter 6 – Street of Antiques
Xia Tian's perception was many times better than the past. On this kind of stage, everyone's eyes were full of scorn and ridicule; he could understand their intentions.
The clothes he was wearing were very cheap, thus in the eyes of these people, he could not possibly afford any of these cellphones.
”I want a cellphone with more complete functions,” Xia Tian inquired. He was going to graduate soon, having a cellphone with all the functions would prove to be more useful.
”Cellphones with all the functions are plentiful, what kind of price are you after? I could introduce you to a brand,” the shop attendant politely answered with ten star quality service keeping a very sweet and beautiful smiling. 1
The female attendant was an intern shown by the badge attached to her clothes. Since she had come to this place, she had yet to perform as the other customers would be seized by others.
”Around five thousand eight hundred or so,” Xia Tian had just won five thousand eight hundred dollars and did not plan to leave anything remaining, thus he might as well spend it all on a cellphone.
”Five thousand eight hundred?” The attendant repeated slightly in shock. Just before, she did not expect that Xia Tian would actually buy a cellphone, thus she had only come over to practice her sale's skills. She didn't think that as soon as Xia Tian opened his mouth, he would want a cellphone five thousand eight hundred in value.
The other shop clerks also heard the number that Xia Tian had uttered. Stunned, some of the senior female shop attendants immediately changed their disposition to this person; putting on a smile. However, under the thick makeup, the wrinkles that could pinch a mosquito dead showed their age.
”Fellow student, I can introduce you a brand of cellphones that you will definitely be pleased with,” the senior attendant suggested with a smile plastered on her face. It wasn't until she was in front of Xia Tian that he could see the pock-marks on her face.
”Would it bother you to stay a bit further away? Your Mt.Everest like face has frightened me,” Xia Tian stated as he hated these type of people the most. She had not acknowledged him earlier as his clothing were unpresentable, but she stood forth after hearing that he was going to buy such an expensive cellphone.
”You. You dare to speak to me like this, do you know who I am?” The old lady's anger welled up, she had never been bullied like this before and even had her face likened to Mt Everest by this person.
The people nearby already gave Xia Tian a look of pity as this lady was the lord of this area. Saying she was lord was not because of her own ability, but as she was the lover of the famed person that owned these streets, nicknamed Tiger-bro. It was rumored that he had killed someone before and had only came back two years ago from a ten year sentence.
This old lady was already almost 50, but she normally made herself up like a 30 year old by applying thick layers of foundation. There was not a single one of the sales people that dared to offend her. Everyone could only swallow their anger, she would stick a leg in and earn some commission when a person was purchasing a cellphone,.
However, this high schooler had dared to oppose her like this.
”Good fellow, just wait here. This old lady will peel off your skin,” the old lady threatened before she pulled out her cellphone and punched in a number.
”Master, five thousand eight hundred will be enough to by a Shen Wu (Shèn Wǔ) 2, so you might as well buy a Shen Wu cellphone,” Huo Lajiao suggested. Right from the start, she had not paid this old woman any attention as in her opinion, she was not even worth the effort.
”Shen Wu?” Xia Tian asked even though he had already heard of this cellphone before. It had been reported that to buy this cellphone, one had actually sold their own kidney. Thus since, this cellphone was known as Shen Wu. ”Alright I'll choose that one then; set one aside for me, beautiful. Here’s the money, I will have to go and obtain a replacement sim card.”
Only now did the sales intern react, hastily receiving the money and quickly turned on the device for Xia Tian.
”Master, if you want a good cellphone, I can buy one for you. You only need to say and I'll buy it; you can just treat it as acceptance fees,” Huo Lajiao who followed Xia Tian said.
”I don't need other people's money,” Xia Tian replied giving Huo Lajiao a glance, ”And I haven't said that I'll accept you either.”
”Master, then what do I need to do to make you accept me as a disciple?” Huo Lajiao asked Xia Tian whilst bouncing to and fro.
”In a moment, I'll teach you two moves. When you have learnt them, then we can talk. I will also need to observe you,” Xia Tian replied after the replacement was ready. The process was very simple. All he needed to do was show his identification card. As this was done, the intern sales girl had also just brung out the Shen Wu cellphone which Xia Tian inserted his sim card into. After trying it out, he thought it to be very suitable.
Be it the exterior or the capabilities of the Shen Wu, they were both better than his old brick. Except for picking up calls and messaging, his old cellphone only had one other ability: smash resistant.
After his purchase, Xia Tian was going to leave; however at this time two people appeared in the entrance. One person was topless with a dragon tattoo that stretched over his shoulder. His head shaven like a pair of calipers, single eyelids with small eyes, and a large belly resembling the buddha.
”Tiger-bro, you've finally come. If you hadn't come, I would have been played to death by this b.a.s.t.a.r.d,” the old lady said whilst grabbing onto Tiger-bro's arm unceasingly swaying and rubbing her upper body against it.
”Motherf.u.c.ker, you dare to play with my woman. You must be tired of living!,” Tiger-bro seethed. His voice was not small, it had made all of the surrounding people look towards him.
Xia Tian stopped his footsteps and looked at the old lady.
”Who's is this b.a.s.t.a.r.d calling for?” Xia Tian demanded. He hated people who insulted his parents the most. Though he had never seen his mother, he knew that his mother must have come across some situation that forced her to leave him.
”That b.a.s.t.a.r.d is you,” the old lady immediately reacted, ”Tiger-bro see, this animal is bullying me.”
”Who are you calling an animal?”, Xia Tian opened his mouth.
