[Lord God World·25th District Server]
The decoration style was completely different from that of the outside world. After walking into the residence, Su Mingan saw a small city that looked like it was carved out of gems.
The gorgeous stained glass and glazed roof first attracted his attention, followed by various fountains and pools.
Unlike the eye-catching Boss Rabbit Fountain, these pools have some pillars engraved with strange patterns standing in the center. There was soft music coming from the edge of the pool, and various players were sitting by the pool chatting.
Under the skylight, various colors penetrated into his eyes after reflection, and he saw a small colorful city, like a place where elves live in legend.
A very fantasy place.
It reminded him of the magical world of Minghui.
Noel led him through what could be called a "bright" street until he reached an alley.
This area was different from the previous one. He saw greenery in it.
As he passed a door, he heard a "dinging" sound inside, like the sound of a hammer.
"Come in." Noel opened the door.
When Su Mingan walked in, the red brick wall first came into view, and then he saw the vines hanging from the ceiling. They were like lights, shining with a luminous luster.
The neatly divided square table fell on the wooden floor. Behind the counter was a space covered by a blue curtain, and there was a "dinging" sound coming from inside.
Noel opened the curtain and Su Mingan saw a figure with loose black hair.
He saw a writhing ball of multicolored light, as well as various light groups surrounding the black-haired girl.
Her fingers pulled these floating light groups. The light groups stretched, fragmented, and merged with the movement of her fingers. The transparent frame floated in front of her, waiting for various colored light groups to slowly fill it.
Along with an invisible rhythm, stripes of lines began to appear on the light mass under her rhythmic fingers. Stretch or bend, push or pull. The colorful materials on the table were reduced along with her jade hands that almost turned into white shadows, and flew into the frame in the air. The originally empty frame began to become fuller as if dyed.
forging.
This is the profession of life, the blacksmith.
In the process, a small hammer appeared in the girl's hand, and with a series of crisp knocking sounds, the weapon began to slowly take shape.
Forging is not something that can be done by just gathering materials in the game and clicking on an icon. It has a very high degree of freedom and requires the blacksmith to think carefully like building a building.
A little mistake or a little fantasy may make a piece of equipment worthless and precious materials be wasted.
...just like the boots that Su Mingan saw before that restricted his agility points.
"Is this what you were looking at just now?"
A rich male voice came over.
When Su Mingan looked up, he saw the bald man walking out of the back room.
A pair of boots surrounded by strong winds was placed on the counter in front of him.
The bald man smiled at him: "Hello, player number one. I am Seruo, the chief blacksmith of the New World Guild."
Su Mingan instantly understood the bad temper that the other party showed when selling things before.
No wonder he was so arrogant when he was selling things before. He turned out to be a blacksmith of high rank.
"Hello...I'm Su Ming'an."
"Haha, no introduction is needed. I can call you by name even with my eyes closed." Seruo smiled brightly: "It was really thrilling just now. I want to apologize to you on behalf of my president. He always likes to make such nasty remarks. Little joke."
"It's not a joke!" Noel said immediately.
"Okay, it's not a joke." Seruo rubbed Noel's head, then turned to look at Su Mingan.
"These boots will be given to you by Noel after he enters the seventh world. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Seruo turned around and suddenly saw the black-haired girl looking at him with her mouth bulging.
"——It's so noisy! Don't talk while I'm forging!" The black-haired girl slapped the table, and Seruo immediately raised his hands in surrender.
As if she didn't see Su Ming'an, the black-haired girl curled her lips and turned around to leave.
"That's Xiao Tang, a newcomer who has just returned and is determined to be a blacksmith." Seruo watched the girl leave and introduced him: "I have to say, her talent is far beyond my expectation. Maybe In a few more worlds, it will be her turn to be the chief blacksmith..."
Su Mingan listened to Seruo's introduction and listened to him talk about some things in the Lord God's world:
"Every time before those adventurous players set off, we ask them to find some materials. Many of the things needed for forging are simply impossible to find here..."
"However, sometimes we will change our thinking and look for something to replace..."
"Although the failure rate will be very high, and some equipment that cannot be used at all will often be produced, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, adventure players work hard, and finding materials is something that can only be met by chance..."
"Xiao Tang was clamoring to find everything for us before, but as a result, hey, he was defeated in one world. Fortunately, he is more optimistic and nothing happened. Now he is back as deputy..."
"Let me tell you, even though our guild president looks easy to deceive, he is actually quite good. I remember the last time... the member who dared to deceive him about construction materials was killed in the game copy. He struggled so hard that he couldn't even find his pants..."
"Don't say anything that could cause ambiguity." Noel smiled beside him.
"Ha, ha, ha, isn't that true..."
Although Seruo was more stubborn than a donkey when selling things, he was very familiar with Su Mingan. Seruo pulled him through the backyard of the forging house, took him to see the on-site potion making process, and then went to the back The large garden is decorated like a tour guide on a spring outing.
Su Mingan gradually understood Noel's intention.
Relax.
After the end of the Sixth World, people really need this kind of relaxation.
In Se's familiar voice, he did feel that his tense spirit relaxed a lot.
In the end, Seruo showed him something wrapped in white cloth.
"This is a weapon specially prepared for you." Seruo said, "I heard from my guild leader that you still need a spare weapon, right? I was still worried after hearing this. This customized weapon does not have the specific information of the player. I can't do it... But I randomly searched on the forum, and all of it was your information. I instantly got an idea, and made one. The result actually flashed, and I created a rare red-level weapon. …”
Su Mingan glanced at Noel in surprise.
"I will bring this sword to you in the seventh world." Noel said, "It is still considered a gift."
"...Isn't it too precious?"
Su Ming'an knew that the materials needed to create red-level weapons were not cheap.
No less than the price of buying one.
But more importantly, red-level weapons are priceless and much more precious than ordinary red-level equipment. Equipment of this level cannot be seen in the stalls.
"Compared to a weapon." Noel turned his head and looked at him: "...A partner who can fight side by side is much more important to me."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
The bald man tutted at the side: "It would be great if the first player was a little girl... I don't have to worry anymore."
"Yeah, if only you were a little girl, Seruo, I would send you out directly to make equipment for people for free..."
Noel was arguing with Seruo on the side, but the video communication on Su Mingan's side flashed.
"Ding-a-ling-ding-a-ling--"
"Sorry, take a call."
Facing the two people's gazes, Su Mingan clicked on the video communication.
A pair of familiar dead fish eyes appeared on the screen in front of him. A young man in black Hanfu was holding an extremely ugly dog and looking at him blankly.
Su Mingan just remembered this.
...It had been so long that he had almost forgotten what Lu Shu had done, and he had not contacted him for a long time.
And...this dog is really ugly.
"Jasmine and Qingqing have been working under Lin Yin for a long time." Lu Shu said business as usual: "They had a lot of fun, but they didn't improve their strength much."
"It doesn't matter, I don't need followers."
"Seventh World, let's form a team." Lu Shu said: "The team limit is five people. Me, you, Lin Yin, three people are actually just right."
Noel came over instantly, with lightning speed.
"And me," he said.
Lu Shu's eyebrows wrinkled visibly.
"Learn to hide your expression." Noel said, "I can see your obvious rejection of me."
Lu Shu ignored him and looked at Su Ming'an.
"Noel is my partner and can form a team." Su Mingan said.
"Okay." Lu Shu responded: "Then, see you in the seventh world."
"See you in the seventh world."
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Su Mingan hung up the call. Lu Shu and he were both concise and to the point people, and their calls were usually short and quick.
After hanging up the communication, Su Mingan looked at Noel.
Seruo had left on his own, and Su Mingan vaguely felt that Noel wanted to talk to him about something serious.
"Originally I wanted to take you to play for a while longer." Noel said, "But along the way... I can see that you seem to prefer to be alone than relaxing with me."
He said it directly, and Su Mingan admitted it straightforwardly.
He knew that Noel wanted to help him relax, but rather than waste time in the Lord God's world, he would rather use his shuttle skills to go to other worlds.
"sorry, I……"
"No need to apologize." Noel shook his head: "As the inviter, it is my responsibility not to let you enjoy your leisure time."
Su Mingan gradually discovered that Noel's emotional intelligence was really high.
Even when he said this, the other party's expression was only sincere, without any hint of falsehood.
It's like I feel really guilty.
Appropriate words, combined with excellent expressions and temperament, can impress others very well.
Noel has this quality.
"...Follow me to the last place of this trip." Noel said: "Have a good rest after that. See you in the seventh world...I feel that your face is still not good."
He said, turning around.
...The last place?
Su Mingan felt a little confused.
He followed Noel and walked through the sun-drenched corridor, and suddenly saw a building painted in various colors.
He heard a burst of laughter.
The laughter of children is crisp and clean, like a swaying wind chime.
A wall covered with graffiti appeared in front of him. Through the railings, he saw the children running inside, the teachers following the children, and the colorful windmills spinning in their hands.
Warm wind blew across his cheeks, and the scent of sweets and desserts filled the air.
"Dean - Brother dean is here!"
Seeing Noel, dozens of children who were playing around the slides and swings immediately gathered together and immediately moved towards the two of them.
"President." The teacher ran over, said hello to Noel, and then looked at Su Ming'an in surprise.
She took one look, then couldn't help but take another look, and finally confirmed Su Ming'an's identity.
She covered her mouth to stifle her screams.
In Noel's gesticulating look, she did not cry out, but stepped away to give space to the children.
The children quickly gathered together, stretched out their hands, and asked Noel for candy.
The little girl with braids came close to Noel. Like magic, Noel appeared from the palm of his hand with candy and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Brother Dean!" the little girl smiled like a flower.
"Xiaochen, please listen to the teacher and stop running around." Noel touched the head of the child next to him: "I heard before that you were running around again. It's dangerous outside."
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, Xiaochen is not afraid!"
The little boy named Xiaochen puffed up his chest: "If you get lost, report the name of the dean. People say that the dean is awesome! I know it!"
Noel laughed.
"Brother Dean, brother Dean, when can we go home? When will our parents come back from their trip?"
The little girl came closer to Noel.
"Wait more than nine months, and your parents will come to pick you up," Noel said.
"So long……"
"Let's play here together, don't you have fun?"
"Happy!" the little girl answered first, then lowered her head and tightened her grip on her dress: "But I still miss my parents...I want them to read me bedtime stories..."
Noel said nothing.
His fingers gently caressed the girl's head, and then he turned his palm:
"Look! Candy!" He raised his right hand: "There are also matching little red flowers!"
"Ah! Brother Dean, give it to me, give it to me——"
The little girl put aside her worries for a moment and jumped up and down like a child eager to express herself.
"Don't give it to Yaya! She just ran away to play a few days ago!" The children behind immediately shouted.
"Hehe, you are so old and still don't listen to the teacher, you are so embarrassed..."
"I, I didn't run out, you're talking nonsense!"
"Ah, Yaya ran out again! I want to report it!"
The children were laughing and shouting, making a fuss.
Noel stood in the middle of them like a little sun, with a smile on his face.
The warm wind blew his blond hair, and a sticky golden light flowed from it.
Su Mingan stood outside the railing and watched this scene.
Noel turned his head and waved to him: "Okay, everyone, look - Brother Dean brought you a new friend today!"
The children looked up.
A little boy suddenly started screaming:
"I know! I know! It's Brother Lighthouse!"
"Brother Lighthouse! I saw him on the big screen played by my aunt!"
Su Mingan was stunned.
Like a trickle of water, the children rushed to him.
"Brother Lighthouse, do you have any candy?"
"Brother, can you play the harp?"
"Brother, I often hear the teacher and aunt call you husband. When did you get married?"
A flower-like smile appeared in front of him.
The dark-skinned little girl showed a row of white teeth, like pearls.
He stood there, surrounded by shorter children. The children's hands were on his body, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.
He could feel the emotions in the children.
Clean, bright, glassy.
...Completely different from the group of piranha-like players just now.
Warm wind passed before his eyes.
Through the dancing sea of colors, he could see the smiling faces of the children.
Like blooming spring flowers.
