242: I'll help too.
Liu Ling'er and Zheng Jinfeng from Xiao Shen's side also asked a couple of questions from time to time, and Ximen Chuifeng answered them one by one.
The entire VIP carriage immediately became Ximen Chuifeng's 'storytelling' hall.
Xiao Shen and Wang Yi also gradually became engrossed in the stories Ximen Chuifeng told, and after he finished, they even felt a little unsatisfied.
"That's how it is. The internal conflict within the Axe Gang has reached a fever pitch, on the verge of erupting. It can be said to be very dangerous."
After Ximen Chuifeng finished his story, he dropped that line, then leaned back against the carriage wall, shaking his head and sighing.
Gu Mingzhu quickly looked at Su Duo: "Your cousin is currently in the Axe Gang, facing grave dangers! How about we go save him!"
Su Duo: "Ah? But cousin didn't tell me to go."
She knew her mind wasn't quick, so she listened to everything her cousin said. If her cousin didn't say it, then it wasn't allowed.
"But your cousin is in danger right now!" Gu Mingzhu went over and held Su Duo's hand, saying, "Don't you want to help him overcome this difficulty?"
"I do, but..." Su Duo nodded, but then shook her head.
Ximen Chuifeng interjected: "She will go, but not now."
"Right, I can't go now. I'll go when I'm needed." Su Duo immediately became confident.
"Alright." Gu Mingzhu no longer insisted.
"I've already convinced Wang Yi to help you. When the time comes, the reward we agreed upon can't be less, okay?" Xiao Shen was most concerned about whether he could repay the borrowed money early, so he quickly said to Ximen Chuifeng.
"Don't worry, with your help, the chances of success are even greater."
Ximen Chuifeng was very satisfied with the development of his connections. It seemed that ever since he got on this carriage, whether it was business or making friends, he had gained a lot more than before.
They indeed needed helpers very much right now. Xiong Mao's Martial Artist level was only Level 5. Even after riding the carriage so many times, the Qi Vortex needed to advance from Level 5 to Level 6 was still too much. Eating just one or two New Upgrade Martial Pills would be a drop in the bucket, accomplishing nothing.
Although Bao Hui was also Level 5, he still had the Bingyan Office behind him!
Ximen Chuifeng had investigated, and the highest combat power within the Bingyan Office was Level 11, which was the director.
Besides that, the Bingyan Office had enough staff. Even if their levels varied, their combined strength was quite terrifying.
He just didn't know if the Bingyan Office would really come out in full force then.
If that were the case, it would be difficult to handle... "I want to go help too." Perhaps it was because she was enchanted by the story Ximen Chuifeng had told earlier, Gu Mingzhu proactively offered to help them.
"Really? If Miss Gu Mingzhu joins, that would really be a great help to us." Ximen Chuifeng said in surprise.
Although his purpose in telling that story was to attract Gu Mingzhu, he was still very excited when Gu Mingzhu voluntarily offered to help.
Another Level 5 Martial Artist!!
And a Level 5 Martial Artist with a particularly strong backing.
"Um, can I go help?" Ge Yunying felt that since she already knew about this matter, and Wang Yi and the others were all going, it wouldn't look good if she didn't go.
Her level wasn't as high as Gu Mingzhu's, and she didn't need to be at the very front. Just making up the numbers would be fine.
"And me, I'll go too." Feng Zhi raised his right hand. Although he was a calm 'study king,' he still had to be a team player when necessary, right?
"Welcome! Thank you all." Ximen Chuifeng bowed very formally to everyone opposite him.
Su Duo saw this and quickly stood next to Ximen Chuifeng, bowing along with him.
"It's nothing!" Gu Mingzhu waved her small hand, indicating it was no big deal, and then suddenly said to Wang Yi, "Oh, by the way, did you bring your longbow?"
Wang Yi immediately reacted, taking out his longbow from his storage bag and saying, "I brought it."
"Then let's go try it quickly!" Gu Mingzhu looked even more excited than Wang Yi himself.
Of course, she was excited. If putting in the beast crystal this time really succeeded, then she could use her core-less weapons to embed beast crystals!
This was much more cost-effective than hiring a Weapon Refiner!
Weapon Refiners were expensive and hard to find. The City Lord's Mansion was so large, yet the highest-level Weapon Refiner was only Grade 3, only able to embed three lower-grade beast crystals into a weapon.
Not only that, but every time she wanted to ask a Weapon Refiner to help refine a weapon, she had to first get her City Lord senior brother's permission. What secrets could she possibly have then!
"Okay." Wang Yi was also impatient. To be honest, his heart was already starting to race.
"Longbow? Is it the one that was refined before?" Liu Ling'er looked at them curiously.
"Yes, but this longbow doesn't have beast crystals embedded in it, so today we're going to try if we can put the longbow and beast crystal directly into the microwave oven to refine a core-embedded longbow." Wang Yi patiently explained.
Liu Ling'er: !
"It can be done like that?"
"We'll know if we try."
Their team had already gotten the hang of using the microwave oven, but Ximen Chuifeng and Su Duo had no idea.
"What, what? You mean this microwave oven can refine weapons, and even refine core-embedded weapons?" There were few things that could make Ximen Chuifeng lose his composure like this anymore.
"Yes."
Ximen Chuifeng's eyes widened. Incredulity could no longer describe his expression.
However, he was a quick learner of new things, so his surprise didn't last long. By the time he came back to his senses, Wang Yi had already placed the longbow and beast crystal into the microwave oven.
[Refined items: Microwave-produced longbow (Quality: Medium), beast crystal (four Grade 3)
Refinement time: Two minutes
Cost: Four thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones]
[Please place the spirit stones into the space in the upper left corner.]
"So expensive??" Seeing this price, Ximen Chuifeng immediately started to feel a pang of pain.
Although it wasn't his own money being spent, so many spirit stones... it really made one grit their teeth.
"It's not expensive. The market price for a Weapon Refiner is much higher than this, not to mention a core-embedded weapon." Wang Yi reached out and patted Ximen Chuifeng's shoulder, saying.
Ximen Chuifeng thought about it after hearing that and said, "That's true."
Weapon Refiners were inherently rare, so their asking prices were naturally very high.
After Wang Yi put in the spirit stones, the microwave oven began to operate.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Everyone was very nervous, because they all wanted to know if this method was feasible.
The entire carriage was very quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Until—
"Ding!"
[Refinement complete, please retrieve.]
Wang Yi then realized that his palms were actually sweating a lot: "I'll go get it."
"Please move aside, let me see." Ximen Chuifeng was probably the most curious among these people besides Wang Yi, so he quickly squeezed to the front.
