"Old man, is the shop doing well?”
At the entrance of the shop stood a man with a face full of stubble and dark eyes.
He was not here to forge or repair, but to rob!
It was already half past nine at night. The streets were dark and there were very few pedestrians on the road.
In the past, he had always robbed passers-by, but the harvest was too little each time, so he could only increase the number of times. However, the risk of being caught was even greater.
He didn't dare to take the risk and rob those rich families. Who knew if these people had martial artists in their families?
If he encountered a martial artist, he even had the right to kill him first and then send him to the police station.
Therefore, he decided to rob some small shops.
He observed the blacksmith shop for a few days. The business was average, and it could even be said to be deserted. There was only an old man with gray hair in the shop.
Old people liked to save money, so he must have a lot of savings, enough for him to live freely for a few months.
Hence, he decided to do it.
He took action today.
The stubble-bearded man glanced around to confirm that there was no one else in the shop.
With one more person, the difficulty level would be completely different.
"Very good, only one…"
The stubbled man was slightly relieved, but his words were stuck in his throat.
His eyes were fixed on a…person in front of him?
Was this person burning with flames really human?
Did this old man burn himself while forging?
But the stubbled man didn't look like it at all.
No one was burning all over, but they didn't shout or make a fuss. They weren't anxious at all.
"Sigh, old people tend to be careless. These clothes are burning and we have to spend money to buy them. The family doesn't have much savings left, and we still have to pay for our grandson's school.”
Lin Xiu muttered to himself and prepared to extinguish it with water.
However, she thought that she would definitely not be able to keep her clothes. Watering her would make her wet.
It was better to take off her clothes and let him burn them.
At this moment, Lin Xiu noticed that there was someone at the door, so he looked up.
Their eyes met.
The stubble-bearded man felt as if he was the one being ignited by the flames. His entire body was burning hot, and sweat poured down like rain!
Lin Xiu's leisurely appearance and even muttering to himself there scared his soul away!
How could someone be burning in the fire and still speak leisurely and calmly as if nothing had happened?
This old man must be a hidden expert!
"This guest…"
Lin Xiu hurriedly said when he discovered that there was business knocking on his door.
"Sorry to disturb you…"
However, the stubbled man was even more anxious. He turned around and ran, disappearing into the dark street.
He ran for a few thousand meters and hid in an alley. He leaned against the wall and panted heavily.
"His entire body is burning with flames. What kind of expert is this? Martial artists couldn't do it, right? Even a martial master couldn't do it, right? Could it be that he was a martial grandmaster?”
"Can a grandmaster do it?"
The stubble-bearded man did not know what kind of existence a martial grandmaster was. He had never come into contact with one in his life.
The stubble-bearded man's mind was in a mess, and his heart was beating violently.
He actually wanted to rob such a terrifying existence just now. This was simply the most soul-stirring thing he had done in his life.
But soon, the stubbled man began to doubt Lin Xiu's identity.
He didn't think that an expert with a noble status would open such a shabby shop here and do such tiring work.
"That's right, this doesn't make sense. This old man is definitely not a master…he should have awakened his superpower!”
Esper abilities appeared alongside the Great Calamity.
The probability of awakening a superpower was very low. He did not expect this hundred-year-old man to actually awaken a superpower.
Under normal circumstances, awakening a special ability was equivalent to mastering a special ability. Such people were the best among martial artists.
Whoosh!
The stubbled man heaved a sigh of relief.
"Even if a hundred-year-old man awakens his ability, it's too late. He still can't become a martial artist.”
In this world, martial artists were still respected, and special abilities were only an addition to martial artists.
The stubble-bearded man rested for a moment and quickly fled. He decided not to come to this area again.
……
"Scared away?"
Lin Xiu took off his burning clothes.
In fact, it was still okay to be burned. After all, it was imaginable.
However, it was covered in silver-gray metal. This was beyond common sense and was even more terrifying. Fortunately, he was not seen.
" This appearance is still a little scary. I should be more careful in the future. Don't show off my alloy skin in crowded places…"
Lin Xiu closed the door. His complexion slowly returned to normal. Then, he took out a piece of clothing and put it on.
After packing up, Lin Xiu went home.
It was already past ten o'clock at night when she reached home.
"Looks like they're all asleep."
Lin Xiu turned on the lights.
"Hmm? Grandpa, you're back?"
A little girl was lying on the sofa. She rubbed her eyes and sat up.
She was Lin Xiu's granddaughter, Lin Xiaoxue.
"Xiao Xue, why are you sleeping here? Go back to your room and sleep.”
Lin Xiu frowned.
"Okay, okay. Grandpa, sleep early too. Don't tire yourself out.”
Lin Xiaoxue returned to her room.
"Grandpa, have you eaten?"
At this moment, the door to his grandson Lin Xiaofei's room opened.
"Eat, eat. Just mind your own business.”
Lin Xiu waved his hand and said.
Lin Xiaofei closed the door and went to sleep without saying anything.
"These two little fellows…"
Lin Xiu smiled and shook his head. His heart felt warm.
Of course, he could guess that his granddaughter Lin Xiaoxue was waiting for him to come back, and his grandson Lin Xiaofei was also concerned about him.
These two little fellows were very sensible. Yesterday, they even bought cakes and flowers to celebrate Lin Xiu's 100th birthday.
Actually…
Lin Xiaoxue and Lin Xiaofei were not his biological grandchildren.
After Lin Xiu transmigrated to this world, he had always been in the army. When he returned, he was old and did not get married.
These two little fellows were the grandsons of one of his comrades.
It was during a sudden attack by demon beasts. His comrades sacrificed themselves to save Lin Xiu.
After returning, Lin Xiu inquired about his comrade's family and went to apologize, wanting to repay the favor.
In the end, he found out that his comrade's son had been beaten to death by gangsters and his wife had run away, leaving behind two poor children. Hence, Lin Xiu adopted them and raised them until now.
Lin Xiu had already treated them as his own grandchildren.
" Oh, right, there's still one more chance to draw the lottery…"
After washing up and returning to his room, Lin Xiu suddenly remembered.
" System, begin the lottery draw."
