When Yan Rong learned that this was a place for betting on probabilities, he immediately showed a reluctant look.
"Lu Ning, I'm not going to try this with my weapon."
Both of them had only one piece of non-factory equipment, the weapon provided by the distribution center. For Yan Rong, the long gun showed no signs of wear and tear after being used for so long, and it was still sharp. She had long known that it was not an ordinary weapon. Items, completely unwilling to bet on it.
On the contrary, Lu Ning didn't care much about weapons. She didn't have a particular type of weapon she was used to, so she used whatever came to her. After seeing Yan Rong's reaction, she shrugged, pulled out a pair of long and short knives from her waist and handed them to the man: "Can you please take a look at this? How much more do I have to pay?"
The man took the knife and smiled strangely: "Money? No money... After all, the price of failure is quite painful. You need to sign a guarantee that even if the enhancement fails, you will not cause trouble to me. Here."
He pointed to a simple agreement on a table next to him, with Eyesight's seal on it, and its validity came from the guarantee of the nobles. Lu Ning walked over and signed her name below. The man looked at it and then grinned: "Yes, the quality of these two knives is barely up to my standards. The probability of having problems with both weapons after strengthening them at one time is also lower." … You always gain something.”
After saying that, he pulled out a fire tong from under his feet, opened a fire hole in the furnace, and took out a red-hot hammer from it.
It didn't get burned. Could it be that the temperature in the furnace wasn't very high?
Lu Ning narrowed her eyes and tried to get some clues from the red-hot hammer. At this time, the man had placed the short knife on the anvil, clamped the hammer and hit it hard near the handle of the knife. Countless sparks exploded. The whole knife was covered with red hot marks, but the man grinned: "Very good! Very good! You are lucky! The first knife was successful!"
He threw the knife into the water tank with his backhand. A burst of green smoke came out of the water tank and quickly dissipated. The man didn't waste any time and immediately placed the long knife on the anvil and continued to smash it down with the red-hot hammer!
The sparks exploded again like fireworks, even farther than last time. The knife began to buzz the moment the brand mark appeared. The man threw the hammer back into the furnace, and threw the long knife into the water tank. .
"Did it succeed?" Lu Ning asked.
"I don't know. If it breaks when you take it out, you are unlucky. But you have already made the first knife. Even if the other one breaks, you still make money." The man grinned, "I'll see you in a minute. Find out."
"You don't charge money for such a good thing. It seems you have other intentions." Yan Rong glanced at the closed furnace again, "That hammer doesn't seem to be an ordinary thing."
"Two girls, let me teach you one thing. Don't ask about things that have nothing to do with you in the outer city." The man shook his finger, "Yes, I have other purposes, but what does this have to do with you? You get it for free That’s enough if you can achieve actual benefits, unless you also have other intentions.”
"I've been taught a lesson." Lu Ning nodded.
The man laughed, and after waiting for a while, he took out the two knives from the water tank. The short knife was now covered with a layer of dark blue patterns, which looked more powerful, but the long knife actually had no Broken, or... it was indeed broken but connected again. The entire blade was broken into forty-nine pieces, but still combined into the shape of a knife.
"You are really lucky." The man praised, "Of course, I don't know what effect it will strengthen. You can develop it yourself. In short, these two weapons can be considered a success."
Lu Ning took the two knives and returned them to their sheaths. The man pointed to a corridor on the side: "Over there, go out through the side door and take a few more detours. Don't let anyone know that you have successfully strengthened. Although it is explicitly prohibited. Murder is only in public, if a few people die in an alley, no one will investigate."
The two thanked the man and walked along the side corridor to find the side door - there were actually several, and it seemed that it was designed to prevent guests who had left before staying here. Lu Ning randomly picked a door and went out. There was no one outside, just a winding alley. The two of them walked deeper along the alley, preparing to leave from the other side.
"Someone will come looking for us." Yan Rong said as he walked.
"That old man?" Lu Ning asked.
"Well, he fell down on purpose. Even if I didn't help him, he would definitely hit one of us by mistake. But I only know that he gave me some surveillance tools, but I didn't see what they were." Yan Rong looked at his sleeves, "Since there are so many people here who know about it, there will definitely be people who will try to rob it later. This method is just one of them... Oh, I heard the sound."
There was a clear sense of amplification in the sound of the secluded alley, and the two of them could hear some chaotic footsteps approaching from the front and back.
"Climbing the roof?" Yan Rong raised his head and glanced, "There are people in front and behind, it happened quite quickly, I don't care."
"It's easy for me to leave, but your speed may be much slower than mine." Lu Ning said. She is already specialized in speed, and now she has even more maneuverability with the newly purchased items.
"Don't underestimate the people from the outer city." Yan Rong grinned.
Lu Ning shook her head, raised her hand and pressed on her right temple. A blue pupil squeezed out from under her pupil. Her field of vision changed a lot in an instant, and some digital signals were reflected in her mind at high speed.
"Nine people in the front and seven people in the back. So many people can gather at this time. They probably specialize in this industry, and they don't seem to be the size of a small group..."
"coming!"
Yan Rong had already taken the spear in his hand and pointed it at the corner where the visitor was coming from. There was a corner of about 120 degrees. Soon a group of men wearing leather armor and holding knives and axes came out with ferocious expressions. people.
"Huh? You didn't run away?"
The people behind also came out. One of them, wearing iron armor, was obviously a little different from the others. He had a gun in his hand, and his appearance was more in line with the adjective "human-like and dog-like".
"Uh...why do I think these are a group of gangsters?" Lu Ning hesitated.
"They should know that the target is someone who can forge weapons, right? Then he should have some strength at least!"
Following the words, Yan Rongren rushed forward, spear carrying the wind. The two people at the front hurriedly raised their weapons and pointed the cross at the spear. However, Yan Rong's momentum was so strong that the two of them were broken apart after barely blocking. She rushed into the crowd with overwhelming force, and the alley was just enough for her to get out of her way. But unexpectedly, although those few people were slightly weaker, they parried Yan Rong's attack through cooperation.
This made Lu Ning a little surprised. She glanced at the armored man and put her hand on her waist.
"Tell me your name."
"We are axemen! Leave your weapons behind and spare your lives! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
"You are quite confident."
After Lu Ning said this, her figure gradually disappeared until she completely disappeared. This move made the armored man dumbfounded. He hurriedly took out his mobile phone, pressed it, and took pictures of the surroundings with the camera, but there was no sign of Lu Ning anywhere?
"Human, is the person gone? Invisible?"
"Boss! Isn't there another one?" Someone next to him offered advice.
"Didn't you say that the target this time has so many abilities? Did you find the wrong one?"
"That old man must have picked a few unfamiliar faces and applied the information potion on them!"
When this group of people were panicking, Lu Ning had already quietly walked around the wall to the back of them. She was condescending and could see further, and could also see the familiar old man in Tang suit standing not far behind.
The old man was accompanied by two tall bodyguards. The two bodyguards alone looked much more powerful than the group of self-proclaimed axemen. However, the old man still had some hesitation on his face.
Before Lu Ning could think about what to do next, someone else came from the alley. The footsteps seemed to be heavier on purpose. The old man and the bodyguard turned around in a hurry, and Lu Ning also saw the person coming.
Wearing a somewhat tattered denim jacket, slightly disheveled hair, and an eyepatch—it’s Ana from Mercury Trigger. Lu Ning didn't expect to see her again so soon.
"Good afternoon, old man Chang Yin, are you doing your bait-fishing thing again?"
"Ah...Ana." The old man stroked his chest gently, "You are really scary. I thought it was the leader of the Axeman coming..."
"You also know that they are not easy to mess with? Even if 90% of them are a mob, the strength of the leaders is immutable. Are you tired of plotting against their people on their territory?"
"Who allowed the Iron Heart Seal to be placed on their territory?" The old man said helplessly, "And their people asked me to do it. I just followed here to collect some commission fees. This can't be..."
"Come on, you're pretending to be a good person when fishing and you're saying they're taking advantage of you? I don't understand why you don't find some serious ways to do it when you're so rich."
"Hmph, even if they have money, those desperadoes will not sell me weapons that are lifeblood."
As soon as she said this, Ana's face instantly darkened.
"Hey...Chang Yin, I am also one of the desperadoes you call me now."
Chang Yin also realized that he had made a mistake and waved his hand hurriedly: "I didn't mean that. Although you have been gone for a long time, I still feel as if you are still here..."
"Forget it, who is stopping you inside? Since you said so, it's okay for me to ask, right?"
"No problem, they are two little girls who don't seem to have much experience in the world. They don't seem to know much about the outer city. They are either the eldest ladies of aristocrats or wealthy families or the new black people who have appeared outside." Chang Yin smiled, "The Axeman It may not be able to deal with them, but it can also consume a lot of their energy, and we will be able to take advantage when the time comes."
"Tsk, are we acting so ignorant?"
Lu Ning released her invisibility and squatted on the wall to speak. The old man suddenly turned his head when he heard the voice. The two bodyguards also took the initiative to stop him and protected the old man behind him.
"You...how did you escape?"
When Ana saw it was Lu Ning, she shrugged and took out a lollipop from her pocket and began to unwrap the wrapping paper: "It's you. Those people over there need to worry about it. Although Hei Ke killed a few people in the city and the nobles I won’t do anything to you, but I still have to take into account the influence of your group on the crowd..."
"Yan Rong doesn't have to kill anyone, but I can't control them if they seek death themselves." Lu Ning shrugged, "I just came over to see if there was anyone else behind me, but I didn't expect to find you. Where's Lan Tu? Where's Dorothy?" ?”
"We will act together when there is a reward, but we are not together every day." Ana raised her lips, "We have earned a lot this time, and we can have a good rest for a day or two before I go back to the old place to visit. Anyway, since It's an acquaintance, Chang Yin, please let this business go."
"Haha, if you knew Ana, I wouldn't be able to eat it... Everyone, we'll see you later." Chang Yin is also an old cunning guy. Ana gave him the steps, immediately clasped his fists, and quickly retreated with two bodyguards. In a few seconds, he He ran away without a shadow, his legs and feet were quite agile.
Lu Ning jumped off the wall, and Ana also strolled over: "How was the fight over there? The coordinated battle of the swordsmen is still a bit interesting, but it is easy to disrupt their formation by grabbing and breaking them."
"Yan Rong will not be unaware of it."
Not only that, when the two of them walked to the place where the fight had just started, Yan Rong had already beaten everyone to the ground.
"Come back? This group of people is quite interesting. Although they are quite weak individually, they are very good at taking care of each other." She stepped on one of the minions with one foot, and stuck her spear in the armored man's head. They were all wailing on the ground, at least a few bones had been broken.
"After all, he is a street gangster who manages affairs in this area. He must have some skills." Ana said, and Yan Rong turned around when he heard the voice, a little surprised.
"We happened to meet her by chance. She happens to have some connections here, so she might be able to avoid some trouble."
After listening to Lu Ning's words, Yan Rong raised his spear obediently and pulled the armored man on the ground. The man quickly got up, turned around and saw Ana and bowed quickly: "Sister! Long time no see!"
"Well, let's take two days off and come back for a walk. You guys are getting more and more impatient at work. You can even choose people who can't be beaten." Ana curled her lips, "Get out of here and give it to those few The boy should find a regular clinic and don’t leave the root of the disease."
"Hey!" The armored man quickly agreed, ran over and kicked and shoved all the people, and quickly left the alley with a few seriously injured people.
"Sorry, I can't let them apologize to you. After all, this is their business, and it is completely legitimate here - you have spent some time wandering around the outer city, you should understand what kind of place this is, right?" Ana He took out two more lollipops and said, "Fortunately you met me. Where are you going, can I show you around and have some candy?"
Lu Ning didn't care, took the candy and threw one to Yan Rong: "It just so happens that we also need a guide. You must be familiar with this place?"
"I grew up here. I started living here when I was six and have been around for ten years." Ana nodded, "I recognize every face here."
"Exactly, let's excuse you." Lu Ning happily put the candy into her mouth, and then immediately felt an unexpected taste rushing to her forehead. She quickly took out the candy and said, "What kind of candy is this?"
"Produced by Hongtang Laoguo, duck blood vermicelli is spicy. I think it tastes good." Ana was stunned for a moment.
"Cough cough cough!"
In addition, Yan Rong over there was obviously choked.
