"Zhou Weiyuan, look at the bad path you've taken!"
"Don't blame me, cough! cough!"
Lu Ning covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, and was too lazy to pay attention to the quarrel between the two. After all, if she opened her mouth at this time, she might get a mouthful of soot.
Zhou Weiyuan was indeed right, this road led to the business district. But this area belongs to an industrial city, and because it has almost no communication with the outside world, the air pollution is quite serious. There is a constant tinkling sound in the ears, as well as the harsh scream of metal friction.
The brass-colored metal hammers continued to smash down in the high-temperature steam, and the red metal bars were smashed together piece by piece. A group of big men shouted loudly and carried the boxes of very heavy-looking metal ingots to the position. There was a large pot next to the furnace. Three women of the same stature were holding shovels and stirring the contents of the pot. A smell like burning was emanating from the pot.
"Hey, those three over there!"
The three of Lu Ning had just emerged from a path, when a burly man walked over to move coal. This guy had a very loud voice. Even though he was wearing a dust mask, he still roared so loudly that it hurt Lu Ning's ears.
"How did you get out of that place? This is an industrial area! When shopping, go to the front!"
"Zhou Weiyuan!" Yan Rong immediately turned his head and choked on his words.
"Okay, okay, at least we found a way..." Zhou Weiyuan covered his mouth and muttered, "Even if you take the normal route, you won't be able to find a fight."
The strong man had already walked over carrying a basket of coal. When he got closer, Lu Ning realized that this man was probably not close to three meters tall.
"You! Why are you here?"
"It's my first time here, so I don't know the way." Lu Ning shrugged. At this time, the strong man also caught a glimpse of the gun on her waist.
"Executor?"
"Eh? You have very good eyesight." Yan Rong also covered his mouth, but still showed surprise.
"We are craftsmen who make weapons! The weapons of the Executors are very special and can be recognized at a glance!" The big man laughed, "So you want to entrust the work of weapon strengthening, so you took this path? "
"I told you we don't know the way..."
"Very good! Then come with me, and I will introduce you to the best craftsmen here!"
Lu Ning gave up explaining.
The big man carried a basket of coal in one hand, found masks for several people to wear, and then got into the hot working area. There is not just one forging group like the one just now. There are forging hammers, furnaces and the like almost every distance. The busy men and women around are all tall and strong people. If nothing else... just this one With the strength to carry a basket of coal, Lu Ning knew that these people were not easy to mess with.
"Hey, Marbar!"
"When you get the coal back, go burn the stove! Don't be idle!"
After everyone walked to a huge furnace, the strong man said hello, and a white-bearded man who was swinging a hammer immediately roared, and his voice was no weaker than his.
"Marbar! We have customers! Come smash something!"
"What?" Whitebeard Marbar looked at the three people coming over, "What?"
"You are a craftsman, right! Can you help me see if there is any room for improvement in my weapons!" Yan Rong also raised his voice and roared, startling Lu Ning and Zhou Weiyuan.
"Bring it here! Take a look!"
Yan Rong pulled out the spear from behind with a backhand, walked to Baibeard and put it on the table.
"Good stuff!" Marbar glanced at it and slapped the table hard, "Girl! Are you crazy, or are you a god?"
"Of course my weapon is a god! How about it? Do you still have the ability to improve it?"
Yan Rong and Zhou Weiyuan looked at Yan Rong speechlessly, who had completely followed the local customs. Yan Rong was originally the least good at communicating among the three of them because her personality was a bit straightforward, but she became very comfortable in this place.
However, Lu Ning understood. She reached out and dug her ears. The sound of forging hammers was everywhere. In the huge roar, if she stopped shouting louder, she might not be able to hear what was being said. It's just that she may not be able to communicate like this while still being able to catch the other person's radio waves.
It didn't take long for Yan Rong to negotiate terms with Marbar, and by this time Lu Ning already felt like he was going deaf.
The big man leading the way brought Yan Rong over with a smile, and then led the three of them away from this noisy area, and passed through a place covered by a thick curtain, which was Fangshi where the air was much better.
"As promised, you can just come over during the next break!" The big man patted his chest, then turned around and went back.
"Hey... it's really noisy. Yan Rong, what did you talk to them about just now?" Lu Ning pressed her head hard, and her hearing slowly returned to normal. Yan Rong turned her head and opened her mouth and almost shouted again, but she reacted quickly, coughed twice, and lowered her voice and said: "We just talked about the business of strengthening weapons, but they need to prepare materials to strengthen god-level weapons, so we can't do it directly. .Both of you..."
"Mine is not a cold weapon, no need to use it."
"I'm not a fighting weapon, no need to."
Yan Rong looked helpless: "Why did I end up with you two who don't like weapons at all?"
"It's not that I don't like it... I just don't care about it for you." Zhou Weiyuan patted his forehead, "There should be some other good things for sale here. Don't always think about strengthening weapons and the like."
Lu Ning glanced at this market, and I have to say...it's very unique.
Due to the unique "indoor" conditions here, the shops here basically set up stalls. There are many thick curtains around that you would pass by when you first come out. Occasionally, someone will come out and deliver huge boxes to the back of the stall, and then the stall owners will go over and take out the things and put them on the shelves.
Better stalls will use wood and metal to build a shed, while worse stalls will just lay out blankets and hang signs. There is no doubt that the quality of the items on these stalls varies.
"Hey! You three, is it your first time coming to Chenfang City?"
The owner of a street stall next to him greeted loudly. He was very energetic. He was wearing a very luxurious-looking robe, a light brown hat on his head, and a pipe in his hand. But no matter how he dressed up, he couldn't change the fact that this was a street stall, and the dazzling array of things on it looked very cheap at first glance.
"Don't go to the stalls for the first time. You can only buy serious products in the big stores in the market. There are good things at the stalls, but you have to know the goods." A boss with a beard on the other side stroked his hand. Beard said.
"You don't want to do business?" Zhou Weiyuan asked the bearded boss with a smile.
"Nonsense, what I sell are all good goods. Isn't it just a waste of time to come here to buy things when you meet someone who doesn't know the goods? The newbie doesn't know anything and likes to bargain, so I'm too lazy to serve him." The boss snorted coldly, "And you guys These first-time enforcers probably don’t have much money in their pockets and can’t afford to buy good things.”
This is quite true.
Although Lu Ning and Yan Rong have both defeated the Doomsday Core, Judgment Island does not give bonuses for such things. According to Nono, if you want bonuses, you must sound the alarm. This kind of petty fight belongs to daily. A powerful Executor can destroy low-level doomsday cores even inside the containment unit.
In addition, no one worked overtime and got off work at normal times. Therefore, the "money" in the hands of the three people was the same, one thousand.
"Then may I ask where the big store is?" Lu Ning asked.
"Go that way." The stall owner pointed in the direction. Lu Ning thanked him and walked over.
After the three people left, the stall owner who was the first to speak grinned and said, "You guys...are you trying to get away with it?"
"Fart, the things I sell are really good goods. Even though the price will be 10% or 20% higher, that's a guarantee. Wherever you buy it at the original price, it may be fake." Liang Hu said disdainfully, "Forget about your lottery-like stall."
"Oh, let's have fun."

Soon, the "big store" appeared in front of me.
They are located on higher ground. Unlike those street stalls, the big stores barely have a reputation. They use metal plates to circle an area where there are busy shop assistants and purchasers. Lu Ning saw several people who seemed to be executors, and some who were not executors.
They were wearing bulging clothes, and the big backpacks on their backs contained picks, shovels, brushes, mops and other things. They were tall. Although they were not as strong as the group of blacksmiths, they were basically a head and a half taller than Lu Ning.
Lu Ning looked at the things they picked up.
"Deodorizing spray, strong cleaning agent, sand for polishing, decomposing acid..." Lu Ning picked up a few bottles and cans, and Zhou Weiyuan followed him, took a look, and said, "These people are probably cleaners."
"Um."
Lu Ning had never seen those people responsible for cleaning up after the incident in the building. It was probably only at night that this group of people would enter the building, and then use these things to clean the flesh and blood in the corridor.
"Buying so many things today?"
Across the shelves, Lu Ning heard the clerk over there who was in charge of collecting money talking to one of the cleaners.
"The cleaning corridors are basically all used up." The cleaner said in a somewhat muffled voice, "It is estimated that sixty or seventy people died. Several corridors were covered with flesh and blood. You can tell what kind of place it was. nothing."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how did it happen? It's so big?"
"I don't know. Anyway, it was already over when we went there. Those monsters were all locked up. Have you calculated how much it cost? Don't make a mistake." said the cleaner.
"Don't worry, I'm a professional too, okay? If there's a problem, the store manager won't be able to fire me." The clerk said, followed by a clicking sound. In less than a minute, the clerk said: "Four hundred and ninety-six, the change has been wiped out. Is it payment in cash this time?"
"Paid on delivery." The cleaner's voice also sounded a little more happy, "The harvest this time is not small."
Lu Ning and Zhou Weiyuan walked around from behind the shelves and saw the cleaner unzipping his bulging coat, taking out heavy snakeskin bags and placing them on the table.
"Only flesh and blood?" The clerk frowned.
"This amount is enough this time. Give me the extra money."
After saying this, the cleaner suddenly turned to look at Lu Ning and Zhou Weiyuan. He had obviously noticed their gazes, and there was a slight nervous look on his face. Zhou Weiyuan immediately smiled when he saw this: "Don't be nervous, we are just curious. What happened? Why didn't we hear the news?"
"Last night, there was a dangerous building, level one alarm. This is what we reasonably obtained..."
"Okay, okay, just asking, don't be nervous, we are here to buy things too." Zhou Weiyuan said quickly.
"Weapons and treatment medicines are on the shelves over there. Here are the cleaners' equipment." The cleaner pointed, obviously not liking the two of them standing here for too long. Lu Ning shrugged, turned and left, and Zhou Weiyuan immediately turned to follow.
"It seems that the relationship between the cleaner and the executor is not good?" Zhou Weiyuan said in a low voice.
"It goes without saying that the bag contains the remains of the Executor." Lu Ning also lowered his voice. There is no need to explain that the relationship between the two is not good. Even the executor who has nothing to do with it will probably not feel any grudge when seeing someone exchanging the corpse of a colleague for money.
And Yan Rong... had already been standing at the weapons shelf, picking and choosing, without even paying attention to the cleaners, and now there were several weapons piled around him.
Yan Rong's favorite weapon is the spear, but this does not mean that she can only use the spear. As the top military tourist Lu Ning has ever seen, she can use various weapons and abilities according to circumstances. In this case, what she needs is the best kind of weapon, which is more direct and more resistant. Just use it.
"Oh, you are so good at picking out so many weapons?" Zhou Weiyuan came over, picked up a short ax on the ground with his toes, grabbed it, and looked at it, "Enchanted?"
"That weapon is useless, it breaks easily." Yan Rong said.
Lu Ning's lips twitched: "Is it possible that all the things you picked out are unnecessary?"
"That's not true, although most of them are really unnecessary." Yan Rong flicked a dart in his hand, shook his head and hung it back on the shelf, "Although the weapons here... are well-made, their strength is not at all It’s not enough, even if it’s based on the doomsday core I smashed, it might break after just two uses, which is not okay.”
"After all, this place sells consumables."
After hearing Yan Rong's words, a nearby clerk came over and saluted the three of them.
"Are these consumables?" Yan Rong asked.
"Made of ordinary alloys, although it can be regarded as a magic weapon for ordinary people to use, it is far from enough to deal with the doomsday core." The clerk said with a smile, "Generally, they are only used to assist management work, such as Add a long-range or melee weapon, occasionally use it to delay time, or some executors can make the weapon self-destruct, but no one will talk about using these as common weapons."
"Then...where are the commonly used weapons?" Yan Rong scratched his head.
"Please come with me."
The clerk led the three people around to the back, opened a black curtain, and invited the three people in.
As soon as he entered, Lu Ning smelled a strong smell of blood.
"This store sells five different types of commonly used weapons. I think you will be able to find one you like." The clerk lowered the curtain at the back.
