221: Borrow money from Old Man He

After Wang Yi and the other three got off the green train, they weren't in a hurry to return. They also had a mission today, and with this longbow, they wanted to try it out more.

Wang Yi was already thinking about how many beast crystals the Weapon Refiner at the Beast Taming Bureau should embed into this longbow when he got back.

Three was the most a Weapon Refiner from the Beast Taming Bureau could do, but that would greatly exhaust the Weapon Refiner's energy.

Moreover, Wang Yi didn't want to alert his master, Gu Mingzhu, as she hadn't told the City Lord about the green train. So, it would be better to only embed two beast crystals... What a pity. If he could find a Weapon Refiner of the same caliber outside the Beast Taming Bureau to collaborate with, perhaps he could embed three beast crystals as he wished.

However, how easy was it to find a Weapon Refiner?

All the Weapon Refiners in the entire 155 Fortress probably didn't exceed five.

Those capable of embedding three beast crystals could only be found in the Beast Taming Bureau and the City Lord's Mansion.

"Hey, what's that?"

Wang Yi was completely focused on the longbow and beast crystals, only snapping back to reality when he heard Gu Mingzhu's voice.

He saw a Little Ice Fox, pure white all over, suddenly dart out from the nearby bushes. Seeing Ge Yunying, it trotted towards them on its short little legs.

"Wow, it's you! Long time no see." Ge Yunying was delighted to see the Little Ice Fox. She immediately extended her arms and embraced the approaching Little Ice Fox.

Its fur was incredibly soft to the touch, and Ge Yunying always found it irresistible.

Wang Yi and Feng Zhi were used to it, so they didn't find anything unusual.

But Gu Mingzhu, seeing the Little Ice Fox for the first time, was very surprised, especially that it was so friendly with Ge Yunying. Was this considered peaceful coexistence between humans and fierce beasts?

"This little fierce beast cub is also one of the regular passengers on the green train. I heard it's only a few months old, still a baby," Wang Yi explained early on, knowing Gu Mingzhu would definitely be curious.

Gu Mingzhu's eyes lit up at his explanation.

"Can I hold it?" Gu Mingzhu quickly went to Ge Yunying's side, her eyes fixed on the Little Ice Fox in Ge Yunying's arms, practically gleaming.

Sure enough, women always have no resistance to cute things.

The Little Ice Fox instantly became the darling of the two ladies.

The Little Ice Fox didn't shy away from Gu Mingzhu's outstretched hands, letting her hold it.

"Wow, such soft fur."

Gu Mingzhu immediately became as enamored with the Little Ice Fox as Ge Yunying.

However, her curiosity was still very strong, so she asked while holding the Little Ice Fox: "Are the passengers on the green train not only humans but also fierce beasts?"

Ge Yunying seemed surprised by her sudden question. After a moment's thought, she said, "It seems, besides it, I haven't seen any other fierce beasts on the green train."

Gu Mingzhu showed a puzzled expression again, then looked down at the adorable Little Ice Fox in her arms.

Could it be that this Little Ice Fox had something special about it, which allowed it to ride the green train?

The Little Ice Fox didn't stay with them for too long. After a while, it jumped out of Gu Mingzhu's arms, whimpered twice, and left.

It was in a hurry to catch the green train!

...[Destination Reached, Passengers Please Disembark]

Xiao Shen and the other two's riding time was up. Even after fifteen minutes, their hearts were still throbbing with excitement from that longbow.

They all knew that to forge weapons suitable for martial artists, Beast Tamers, and Espers, rare ores were essential.

But no matter how rare rare ores were, they could still be bought.

Weapon Refiners, however, were different. There were only a few in the entire Wall, and they had all been hired by major powers, basically not forging weapons for freelancers like them.

Xiao Shen had thought about this before, feeling that without a handy weapon, he always felt his strength wasn't fully utilized when fighting people or fierce beasts.

If he could have a weapon embedded with two or three beast crystals... he was confident his combat power could rise another notch.

He had witnessed the power of that longbow just now. It was so strong even without embedded beast crystals. If beast crystals were embedded, wouldn't its power be even greater?

No, after he returned, he had to find a way to quickly get some rare ores, preferably a few pounds.

Although Liu Ling'er had a little, it was too little. Rather than wasting such a small amount by putting it in, it would be better to save up more and then put it all into the microwave for refining.

Lack of money was their biggest problem right now.

However... Xiao Shen looked up at the door of the green train, and Old He's figure gradually appeared in his mind.

Although he didn't know why, he always felt that Old He should be very rich... Outside the 155 Fortress, Guild Market.

Old He was lying on his recliner, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, half-asleep as usual. He was about to fall asleep when the palm-leaf fan in his hand suddenly dropped to the ground.

He was startled and immediately woke up.

He slowly picked up the fan, ready to sleep a little longer, but then he heard a familiar voice: "Old man, you're really here!"

With a "clatter," well, the fan he had just picked up fell again.

Xiao Shen quickly walked over to help him pick up the fan and said with a smile, "Old man, your fan."

Old He: "..." Why did he always feel like this kid had ill intentions?

It shouldn't be!

He hadn't offended Xiao Shen recently, had he?

"Old man, it's so hot. Why aren't you resting at home? It's so hot outside!" Liu Ling'er also came, right behind Xiao Shen.

Zheng Jinfeng started cultivating as soon as she returned, so Liu Ling'er didn't disturb her.

"You two are both here." Old He found it a bit strange. Usually, it was just Xiao Shen who came to see him, and last time it was about rare ores. This time, even Liu Ling'er came.

"Yes, old man. It's so lonely for you to set up a stall by yourself. We're here to help you," Liu Ling'er said with a smile.

Old He felt even more uneasy.

The two of them had never used "you" so many times when addressing him before; it was usually "you" (informal).

Offering courtesies without reason means mischief or theft.

Old He was well-traveled and experienced; how could he not know the reason behind this?

So he sat up and said with a smile, "Tell me, what do you two want from me?"

Liu Ling'er widened her eyes, putting on an exaggeratedly surprised look: "Oh, old man, how did you see through it at a glance? No wonder people say the older the ginger, the spicier it is. We young people can't compare to you!"

Not bad, not bad. That flattery hit the mark, and Old He felt very pleased.

Liu Ling'er pressed her advantage, quickly went to fan Old He, and said while fanning, "Old man, since you've already guessed, then we won't hide it from you. We do have something to ask of you."

"And this matter, it really is something only you can help us with," Liu Ling'er continued.

"Oh?"
