Chapter 197: Unavoidable

Lu Jiu glanced at the time. It was already past six-thirty in the evening: “It’s already 6:30. I thought it was 4 or 5 o’clock.”

As he spoke, a fragrant wind blew. There were too many flowers blooming nearby, and even the wind was fragrant.

Shen Jufeng put away his weapons and killed more than twenty batches of wild monsters today, nearly twice as many as in the previous summer and autumn: “Then let’s go back to the city. There are a lot of wild monsters recently. Let’s continue tomorrow.”

Lu Jiu also smelled the fragrance and nodded: “Let’s go, we will encounter wild monsters on the way back.”

Back in the city-state, Yong Lin said goodbye to everyone and went to the forging shop. The other teammates all had wings and were not in a hurry to customize them.

This was his first time coming here to find NPC customization.

Apprentice NPCs put the newly made equipment on the shelves. Recently, many people have come here to sell materials, and the number of weapons they have made was also large.

Yong Lin came to the cashier and said: “Hello.”

The cashier NPC in the store was different from the NPC hired by residents to rent stores. They look smarter: “Hello, sir, what kind of equipment do you need to buy?”

Yong Lin took out the two gray bird feathers he got and said: “This is a material that can be used to make wings. Can it be customized here?”

He was still a little worried when he said this, even though Lu Jiu said he had already said a word to him before.

“Are you Mr. Yong Lin?” The NPC remembered that the city lord had told him that a gentleman with gray bird feathers would come over to customize the equipment.

Yong Lin nodded: “Yes, it’s me.”

The NPC took the gray bird feather he handed over and said: “Okay, we have received your materials. Since the materials are at the bronze level, we will charge you a processing fee of 3 silver coins.”

Yong Lin simply handed over 3 silver coins. 3 silver coins were nothing. Nowadays, a wing is sold for 15 silver coins.

The price was different depending on the equipment level. The main reason was that the flying speed is also different depending on the level of wing equipment.

After the NPC received the silver coins, the gray bird feather disappeared in his hands, and the items were passed to the store manager.

“Based on the current workload, the wings you customize will need to wait for about 3 days. Our store does not guarantee that the wings will be successfully produced. If the production fails, half of the processing fee will be refunded to you.”

Not every material can be made 100% successfully, but the manager of this store was extremely talented and had a relatively high success rate.

Yong Lin knew this rule: “I understand, then I would trouble you.”

Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered that he had saved enough money to buy his favorite weapon. Thinking of this, he turned around again and said: “By the way, is the Galaxy Whip still there? I want to buy that weapon.”

The NPC nodded immediately: “It’s still there. The Galaxy Whip is silver grade and priced at 369 silver coins. Do you want to buy it now?”

Yong Lin put his hand on the NPC’s hand and said: “Buy it now.”

He has been thinking about this long whip for a long time. He has killed a lot of wild monsters in the past two days and has already accumulated 369 silver coins, even if all the rewards are divided among four people.

The NPC received the money, and the silver-gray whip appeared in his hand: “Please put away the weapon you want.”

Yong Lin got the weapon and stroked it lovingly.

He felt that the shop could produce such a high-quality whip because it must have been told by Lu Jiu, the city lord. When he looked at the weapon, there was only one long whip.

After getting the silver weapon, he just had to wait for the wings to be made successfully, so that he would not hold back Lu Jiu and the others, and he could deal more damage.

Zhuang Yun’s store has been particularly busy these two days, and many residents come to shop for the cool black bear props.

On the first day the store opened, someone bought this prop and started using it in actual combat. Even though the height was only 2 meters, they could move around much faster than they could run by themselves.

It was much easier to deal with winged monsters.

However, professional players have to go out to clear the wild every day, so they don’t have time to keep an eye on it all the time, and the store’s opening hours are at ten in the morning.

They leave the city early in the spring, so they can wait until after ten o’clock.

For this reason, they can only find someone who is idle in the city and go to the store to take a look. Once they find this item on the shelf, they should buy it immediately.

Zhuang Antong was now starting to get better at making black bear props. If she was in a good mood, she could make two in a day, and if she was not, she could only make one every two days.

Zhuang Yun had gone out early that day. After Zhuang Antong got up, she ate some breakfast prepared by her father in advance, tidied up a little, and went out.

It was just after ten o’clock. Not long after my store opened, there were many people standing on the first floor, most of them ordinary residents.

She only glanced outside, then ran to another part of the street, just in time to find Tang Yi.

Tang Yi sat at the stall with his grandfather. The table was filled with various braised foods, and a strange fragrance filled the air.

His eyes lit up when he saw Zhuang Antong coming: “AnAn, why don’t you go to your store?”

He remembered that the first thing Zhuang Antong did when she got up every day in the past few days was to visit his family’s shop.

Old Man Zeng greeted Zhuang Antong when he saw her: “It’s AnAn, come and sit down.”

He asked her to sit on the seat behind the stall, and Tang Yi ran over and sat with her.

After Zhuang Antong sat down, he started to explain why he came here: “There are many people in the store, and many uncles and aunts asked me when I can sell black bears.”

Especially the family members of professional residents, if they catch her, they ask endlessly.

Tang Yi expressed his understanding. Although Zhuang Antong wanted to give him a black bear doll, he still refused. It was not easy to make money now. This prop can be sold for dozens of silver coins in a store.

“Then let’s go out to collect today, so we don’t have to see those adults.”

It was much more fun to go out and collect in spring.

Thinking of the scenery outside the city, Zhuang Antong nodded and said: “Okay, I also want to go to the lake to see it, but my father said that there are wild monsters that will appear there at any time, so he told me not to go.”

Tang Yi naturally knew what kind of wild monster there was, that was the Green Ox Boss. Many professional residents had beaten it there several times recently.

“It’s okay, we can just watch from a distance.”

Old Man Zeng saw that the two children had made up their minds and said: “I’ll take a look here and pick more glutinous rice. I’ll make rice cakes for you.”

The two children stood up and held hands. Tang Yi nodded when he heard his grandfather’s words: “I understand, let’s go.”

Old Man Zeng waved his hand: “Go ahead, go ahead.”

Tang Yi led Zhuang Antong and ran outside the city. As he ran, he said, “Glutinous rice is easy to find. They are a little different from other rice. I will teach you how to identify them later.”

Since the beginning of spring, Zhuang Antong made various backpacks and props, so she only had a small food collection.

“Okay, I’ll give you the best beef in exchange for rice cakes. You can’t refuse.”

The most delicious meat in her family right now was green beef. Even restaurants don’t sell much of it every day. It’s a good meat that can often increase the total attribute value of qi and blood.

Tang Yi heard the beef and swallowed reflexively: “Okay, Grandpa and I will make more rice cakes. The beef you gave us is too precious.”

The two children walked out of the city talking and laughing. Even after watching it many times, Zhuang Antong was still shocked by the scenery in front of her.

As a result, after just a few glances, an aunt next to me asked: “Oh, it’s AnAn. Are there any black bear dolls for sale recently?”

Forget it, it seems she can’t escape this situation no matter where she goes.
