"Um?"
"What's wrong?"
Lu Qingge paused slightly, looked at Caroline and said.
I just saw it, I don’t know why.
Two blushes suddenly appeared on the female clerk's cheeks.
"Just...just..."
"If you are... free tonight..."
"Would you like to have dinner together?"
Caroline read the last sentence quickly in one breath.
"Oh, want to eat?"
Lu Qingge said: "No time."
Caroline: "...?"
boom!
As if a thunder struck, Caroline felt that her background turned into black and white at this moment.
Rejected?
He refused again! ?
what is this? !
Caroline began to doubt life.
In more than twenty years of life, no boy has ever rejected her twice!
And usually, she is the one who rejects others...
But the young man in front of him didn't hesitate.
He seemed to refuse without even thinking about it.
The key is not to be tactful at all...
It's okay if you just pull it a little bit!
"Well……"
"Miss Caroline, are you okay?"
Feeling the low air pressure in front of her, Lu Qingge's forehead started to sweat a little:
"Sorry, I have something to do tonight."
"Definitely next time!"
Crack!
Caroline felt another arrow hit her chest.
…
"call."
"It was such a close call, but I finally escaped."
"I almost wasted another meal."
He walked out of the door in two steps and sang softly, patting his chest to calm down his shock.
In fact, he did not lie.
He really has important things to do.
"Let's set off quickly before dusk falls!"
Thinking to himself, Lu Qingge walked away quickly.
Twenty minutes later.
Lu Qingge walked all the way through [Zhenbei Back Street] and came to "Renas' Weapon Shop".
The back streets are far away from the center of the town, and this place usually gets quiet in the evening.
It feels a bit like an old alley in a previous life.
Before he walked into the door, he heard the sound of hammering.
when!
when!
when!
…
Hearing the footsteps of the visitor, Renas said in a rough voice without raising his head:
"The weapons are all on the shelf. You can choose them yourself and try them if you want!"
Lu Qingge said: "It's me, Uncle Renas."
Renus stopped what he was doing and his eyes lit up:
"It's your boy!"
"What's wrong?"
"Did you encounter any difficulties on the way?"
After Lu Qingge heard this, he smiled helplessly, shook his head and said:
"A little."
"But the problem is not big, I have solved it."
With that said, Lu Qingge opened the panel and showed his items to Renas:
[Star Ore x74]
Renus was startled: "Have you collected them all?!"
Lu Qingge nodded and said, "Yes."
Renas looked at Lu Qingge up and down in astonishment, as if it was a miracle that this young man could stand in front of him alive.
"You kid, you can do it!"
"Good for you!"
Renus smiled heartily and patted Lu Qingge's shoulder vigorously twice.
[-1]
[-1]
…
Lu Qingge, who lost two drops of blood, grinned:
"Uncle, please stop getting excited."
"Have you had enough of this material?"
Renus scratched his head and said:
"Of course that's enough."
"And actually, ten [Star Ore] are enough..."
Lu Qingge: "..."
I hope Uncle Renus won't mind about the [Iron Pickaxe]...
"It's really beyond my expectation."
"I really didn't expect that boy's execution ability is so high."
With that said, Renas placed the [furnace] in front of him and officially started weapon forging.
He took out the broken [Determination] from the glass cabinet and placed it in the mold.
At the same time, the flames of the furnace were lit.
And place the star ore of suitable size and weight into it.
Then he went through a series of dazzling operations that Lu Qingge couldn't understand at all.
Purify and smelt the star ore into a scalding liquid.
when!
when!
when!
…
Within the continuous and rhythmic hammering sound.
Lu Qingge can see it.
The blade of the [Determination] sword gradually began to get hot, red, and then began to melt.
at the same time.
Renas also poured the hot liquid star minerals into the mold and gradually lowered the temperature of the furnace.
And the sword body of [Determination] also began to slowly solidify at this time.
when!
when!
…
Renus picked up the hammer in his hand, controlled his strength and angle, and struck the sword blade delicately.
The scorching heat radiated from the furnace made the dark-skinned blacksmith sweat profusely.
Sweat dripped down his face and neck, mixed with the dust on his skin, and fell to the ground in drops.
At this moment, the entire weapons store was as silent as if the air had been sucked out.
Only the old blacksmith's hammering sound remained, tinkling and woven into the background music.
Lu Qingge stood silently behind Renas, watching the latter's work seriously and not daring to make a sound.
The back view of the old blacksmith concentrating on his work reminded him involuntarily of the old masters in his previous life who relied on their craftsmanship for a living.
Just like the previous life when most people admired reading and academic qualifications.
In an era when everyone is proud of magic, there are still many blue-collar craftsmen guarding their own piece of land.
A feeling of admiration suddenly rose in Lu Qingge's heart.
"Most people in this world are ordinary people."
"But as long as you love, work hard, and persist..."
"Ordinary people can also shine in their own fields."
Think of this.
Lu Qingge felt that her whole body was once again full of motivation to fight.
In the sound of hammering.
The sky outside the door gradually darkened.
When twilight closed, Renus stopped the forging hammer in his hand.
"alright!"
Renas said.
Lu Qingge stepped forward.
I saw an intact sword already lying inside the mold.
Like new.
[Ding! ]
[You have obtained a weapon: Determination! ]
[…]
[Item: Determination]
[Type: Weapon]
[Quality: Rare]
[Durability: 100/100]
[…]
[Effect: In combat status, inspired by faith and courage, you will recover a certain amount of physical strength every minute! ]
And on the silver-white sword blade of [Determination].
It was faintly flashing with a layer of faint green fluorescence.
…
"Wow."
Lu Qingge held [Determination] in the palm of his hand and couldn't help but let out a slight sound of admiration.
This shallow light is the special effect of the weapon.
Generally speaking.
After the weapon in the player's hand reaches the green [rare] level, special effects will appear.
Of course.
If you are a player who likes to be steady and low-key, you can also choose to turn off the light effects.
Renus stared at the [Determination] for a long time.
He gently patted Lu Qingge's shoulder and said softly:
"From today on, it's yours."
"Take care of me, you little brat."
"If you get it dirty, I'll take care of you!"
I don’t know if it was Lu Qingge’s illusion.
He seemed to see a somewhat complicated emotion in the old blacksmith's eyes.
"Uncle Renus."
Lu Qingge smiled slightly, her eyes falling on the dazzling array of swords in the shop: "You seem to value your weapons very much."
"snort."
"of course."
The corners of Renus' mouth raised slightly.
…
"Treat weapons like you would a lover!"
