Chapter 280: Leave it to me to handle

Translator: 549690339

Under the lead of the Red Sea conch, li xiaonian entered the town’s iron store.

Rather than a blacksmith shop, it was more like a blacksmith assembly line. There was dirty black coal or black iron all around. People who didn’t know better would think that this was an area for mining coal.

Hundreds of apprentices kept on quenching the iron ingot, and the more advanced apprentices continued to process it. Finally, it was passed to the hands of the junior blacksmiths, who continued to quench it.

Finally, it was made by a muscular dwarf with a face full of stubble.

Seeing this, li xiaonian felt as if he had seen an assembly line factory. His heart sank.

This was bad. Beginner blacksmiths weren’t as rare as he thought. It would be impossible for a beginner blacksmith to meet the Queen.

The Red Sea conch stopped in front of the dwarf blacksmith and said respectfully, ” “Master ao Gu, this is the new beginner blacksmith. Please help me to test him and verify his authenticity.”

Master ao Gu raised his head and glanced at li xiaonian’s palm. He frowned.”Are you sure you’re not joking?”

As a blacksmith, his hands were bound to be full of calluses from forging weapons all year round. How could this young man in front of him be a blacksmith with such a fair and tender appearance?

The Red Sea conch was shocked, but it still answered truthfully,”This was arranged by the higher-ups of the Army, so it shouldn’t be fake.”

Master ao Gu was slightly taken aback. He looked at li xiaonian in surprise and pointed to the empty iron furnace at the side.”In that case, go over there and forge the bronze weapon you’re best at.”

On the empty ground, there was an iron shed, and there was nothing to cover it.

If he were to forge it in front of master ao Gu, the matter of the lightning rod would definitely be exposed. Thinking up to this point, li xiaonian braced himself and said, ” “Master, my forging method is very special. I don’t want to reveal my forging method. Please arrange a secret place.”

As soon as li xiaonian finished speaking, the surrounding junior blacksmiths and blacksmith apprentices couldn’t help but sneer.

“Hahaha …”

special technique? to think that he can say that. Forging weapons requires repeated tempering. What special technique is there? does he really think we are fools? ”

amazing. A fake blacksmith can actually boast in front of master ao Gu.

……

Master ao Gu’s face turned black and he waved his hand.”Get lost.” “This guy is a fake, there’s no need to identify him.”

The Red Sea conch was slightly stunned. It looked at li xiaonian, wanting to hear his explanation.

Li xiaonian’s face darkened.

If he could, he really wanted to turn around and leave.

A beginner blacksmith could live a good life wherever he went, so why would he stay here and suffer? especially since the blacksmith assembly line in front of him was simply an illegal factory. Although he didn’t know how the treatment would be, with this environment and conditions, no matter how high the treatment was, he didn’t want to stay here.

Li xiaonian suppressed his anger and said, ” “Whether I’m a beginner blacksmith or not is not up to you.” As he said that, li xiaonian opened his stats window. Beginner blacksmith, this part of the screenshot.

He showed the picture, [ I’ve been recognized by the system. I’m a genuine beginner blacksmith. ]

“Get lost,” he said.

“I don’t care if you’re a beginner blacksmith or not, I’m in charge here,” master ao Gu said coldly. Now, get out of here immediately. If you don’t, I’ll beat you to death with my hammer.”

Master ao Gu was angry, and the Red Sea snail hurriedly stood out.”Master, calm down, calm down. I’ll take him away now.”

After saying that, the red conch looked at li xiaonian with a warning look. your test is over. You can leave.

In the outside world, junior blacksmiths were very precious, but here, even a hundred junior blacksmiths couldn’t compare to one master Augustus.

The Holy Light Army had finally managed to invite a great God, and now that he had left in anger, the Holy Light Army would suffer a great loss.

Li xiaonian clenched his fists and turned to leave.

He walked out of the blacksmith shop.

The Red Sea conch sighed. shadow, I can’t help you in this situation. I hope you can understand. I’ll report your situation to the higher-ups.

She believed that li xiaonian wasn’t lying. However, it didn’t matter whether he was lying or not. The important thing was that master ao Gu didn’t like him, so li xiaonian was destined to be unable to join the Holy Light Army.

After hesitating for a moment, the Red Sea conch continued,”Forget it, I’ll tell you the truth. Your current situation is not suitable for joining the Holy Light Army. If you want to seek a higher position, you can go elsewhere. Glory city is the territory of Her Majesty the Queen, but there are other idle Lords around, so you can try your luck in other places.”

“I know.”

Li xiaonian felt bitter.

He didn’t necessarily have to join the Holy Light Army. His real purpose was nothing more than to meet Her Majesty the Queen through the Holy Light Army and ask her Majesty to lend a helping hand to remove the soul poison in his body.

He did not have much time left.

There were only six more days left before the time limit for him to stay in holy light City in the real world was up. Once he was expelled, what awaited him would be death.

The Red Sea conch seemed to see the bitterness in li xiaonian’s heart and comforted him, don’t be discouraged. No matter where you go, you’ll be able to eat and drink well. Besides, as long as you’re a blacksmith, you won’t be short of money.

Then, the Red Sea conch turned and left.

As for li xiaonian’s situation, she didn’t care. The mission was already completed.

……

As he strolled along the streets, li xiaonian opened his friends list to check if MA pingchu had arrived.

He was instantly stunned.

MA pingchu’s ID was still gray, but Feng Ling’s ID was bright.

“Didn’t you say you were going to nightless city? Why did you come to glory city?”

“Tsk, tsk. Bastard, didn’t you say that we were going to the netherdragon’s city?”

The two of them sent messages one after another.

Initially, li xiaonian didn’t care much about Feng Ling. So what if she was rich? she would still be a passerby in the future. But now, seeing Feng Ling appear in glory city with an endless amount of domain coins, it was clear that her identity was not simple.

Li xiaonian’s mind was suddenly filled with hope.

The East was not bright, but the West was bright.

“Beauty, can I treat you to a meal?” Li xiaonian sent a message.

On the other side.

When Feng Ling saw li xiaonian’s message, she immediately laughed. She couldn’t help but burst out laughing. if you want to treat me to a meal, no problem. Hand over all the money you’ve earned from me, not a single cent less. Otherwise, you know the consequences.

‘Hmph, it’s good, it’s too good.’

This is glory city, this lady’s territory. The money you scammed from me before, return it to this lady without a single cent missing.

If that bastard doesn’t return it, I have a hundred ways to kill him.

“……”

Seeing Feng Ling’s reply, li xiaonian’s face froze and he immediately admitted defeat. “No problem. Let’s meet up. I was wrong before. You can do whatever you want to me.”

In the main city, there was no such thing as a safe zone. It was all managed by the players. Of course, there were also NPCs in the players ‘territories.

The more NPCs there were, the more prosperous the territory was.

Feng Ling frowned. alright. Don’t say that I’m stingy. I’ll give you a chance to admit your mistake.

Li xiaonian lost interest in the fight after being so quick to admit defeat.

He had thought that he was an arrogant person, but he turned out to be just like everyone else, taking advantage of the situation. He had thought too highly of him.

Fallen leaves bar.

Li xiaonian and Feng Ling sat opposite each other.

Seeing li xiaonian’s worried look, Feng Ling couldn’t help but feel a little soft-hearted. alright, as long as you return the money to me, I will let bygones be bygones. You don’t have to be afraid. People who don’t know will think that I’m unruly and willful. What can I do to you? ”

Li xiaonian took a moment to organize his thoughts before he said seriously,”Miss Feng Ling, although it’s a little abrupt, may I know your true identity?”

After a short pause, li xiaonian introduced himself, ” “My name is li xiaole, and I’m currently living in holy light City.”

He had no choice but to reveal his identity. If he didn’t tell her, she wouldn’t be able to tell him her true identity.

what? ” Feng Ling sneered. are you trying to curry my favor? ”

“You can understand it that way,” li xiaonian nodded.

It changed from ‘you’ to ‘you’.

Feng Ling was even more certain of li xiaonian’s character and character. He was a despicable person. He changed sides with the wind and said with a little resentment,”Fine. Return the 80000 domain coins to me, and we’ll forget about our grudges. From now on, you go your way and I’ll cross my bridge.”

Li xiaonian’s face stiffened, and he hurriedly said, miss Feng Ling, I’m not happy with what you said. I’m already a person who’s about to die. This time, I’m going to holy light City to meet Her Majesty the Queen and ask her to lend me a hand and save my life.

To Feng Ling’s shock, li xiaonian explained the situation of the soul poison in his body. At the end, he added,”Miss Feng Ling, I know that your identity is not simple. You should know my character. I can’t be a spy for the poison Demon Star Lord. So, can you please help me to ask her Majesty to save my life? As long as I can live, you can tell me what you want. As long as it’s within my power, I’ll definitely fulfill any of your requests.”

“……”

The corner of Feng Ling’s mouth twitched. so you’re a short-lived ghost. I was wondering why you suddenly sucked up to me. I thought you were so domineering that you were scared.

“Miss Feng Ling, please save me.” Li xiaonian said sincerely.

Feng Ling’s brows were tightly knitted together. She sized li xiaonian up and pondered for a long time before shaking her head.”Although my family is huge and our relationships are complicated, I can’t just see his Majesty whenever I want to. Of course, that’s not the main reason. The main reason is that you’re just an outsider, a small fry. There’s no benefit for my family to see the Queen, and my father can’t agree to your request, so … I can’t do anything.”

In her eyes, li xiaonian was indeed pitiful. However, the universe was so big that there were many people who were pitiful. If she had the final say in the family, she wouldn’t mind helping.

Unfortunately, even though her father was the clan leader, he couldn’t have the final say. There were still elders in the clan. This matter of meeting the Emperor was of great importance, and the elders would never agree.

“……”

Li xiaonian’s heart sank.

Yes, he was just a small fry. The only thing he could take out was his identity as a beginner blacksmith. However, this small chip was not enough.

Unless he was willing to reveal the existence of the lightning rod, but once he did, he would die.

“Is there really no other way?” Li xiaonian said, unwilling to give up.

“There’s no other way.” Windling shrugged.

At this moment …

Ding …

“You have new information,” the system said.

“Where are you?”

Li xiaonian lowered his head to check the message, but Feng Ling had already stood up. I don’t need you to return the money. Take care of yourself. I hope that I can still see you alive and kicking in half a year.

“……”

Li xiaonian wanted to ask her to stay, but he didn’t know what to say. He could only silently watch as Feng Ling left.

Ten minutes later.

MA pingchu arrived at the fallen leaves Tavern and appeared in front of li xiaonian. He laughed heartily.”Shadow, what rank did you get in the last stage of the blood path?”

As soon as he finished speaking, MA pingchu noticed li xiaonian’s expression. When he saw li xiaonian’s frowning face, he couldn’t help but laugh. looking at your expression, it can’t be that you didn’t get any rewards and got eliminated halfway, right? ”

“19th.” Li xiaonian sighed.

“19th? Not bad. It’s already very impressive that you managed to snatch this ranking in front of the Dragon race.”

There was one thing that MA pingchu didn’t say. He had obtained third place by transforming into a [ corrosive beast ]. Although the rewards weren’t as generous as the first and second place, he was already very satisfied.

First round, second place.

He was ranked first in the second round.

He was ranked third in the third round.

Such a generous reward was simply a dream start.

Forget it, it’s better not to hurt him.

At this thought, MA pingchu smiled and said, ” “Shadow, you’ve said before that we’ll compete for the position of boss fairly. Since we’ve already arrived at holy light City, let’s have a fight.”

Li xiaonian raised his head to look at MA pingchu and said bitterly, ” “There’s no need to fight anymore. In half a year, you’ll be the boss, the single boss. I won’t hide it from you, I only have half a year left to live.”

“Half a year?”

MA pingchu frowned in disbelief.

He hadn’t been in contact with li xiaonian for a long time, but he didn’t have the same attitude as a person who only had half a year to live.

“That’s right, it’s half a year,” Li xiaonian shrugged. originally, I had already arrived at glory city and could have successfully joined the Holy Light Army. Then, I could have used this opportunity to show my personal value and face Her Majesty the Queen. It’s a pity that my thinking is too simple.”

Li xiaonian continued to ramble on and on as someone told him everything.

He told her that he had been rejected by master ao Gu, and that he wanted Feng Ling’s help.

At the end, li xiaonian looked up at the sky and sighed,”fate is playing with us,” he said.

MA pingchu was silent for a long time. He took a sip of hard liquor and said, ” it’s just meeting Her Majesty. I’ll help you deal with this matter, but I have one condition.

Li xiaonian rolled his eyes and said,”you?” You still want to see the Queen? forget it. ” Li xiaonian then took a sip of hard liquor and said, alright, you don’t have to comfort me. I know my situation.

He wasn’t sure about MA pingchu’s situation, but he was sure that MA pingchu was definitely from a humble background, not much better than him.

MA pingchu glared at li xiaonian. you don’t have to care what method I use. As long as I can do it, you’ll have to promise me one thing.

sure, as long as you let me see her Majesty, I’ll agree to ten or even a hundred of your conditions, let alone one.

“Deal, you said it.”

MA pingchu laughed heartily.

Li xiaonian could tell that the other party wasn’t joking. He was shocked.”Is there really a way?”

MA pingchu shrugged. just wait patiently. I’ll be leaving first. Wait for my good news.

Some people could never see a person’s true face clearly even after interacting with them for a lifetime. However, some people could know what kind of person the other party was just by looking at each other.

The feeling li xiaonian gave him was naturally the latter. He didn’t want to lose this brother.
