Chapter 197: Unavoidable
Lu Jiu couldn't help but glance at the time. It was already past six-thirty in the evening. "It's already six-thirty. I thought it was four or five o'clock."
As she spoke, a refreshing fragrance filled the air. When the wind blows, there are an abundance of flowers blooming nearby, and their fragrance fills the air.
Shen Jufeng put away his weapons and killed over twenty batches of wild monsters today, nearly twice as many as in the previous summer and autumn. "Then, go back to the city. There have been a lot of wild monsters lately. Let's continue tomorrow."
Lu Jiu caught a whiff of the fragrance and nodded, "Let's go, let's go. We might encounter wild monsters on our way back."
Back in the city-state, Yong Lin bid farewell to everyone and headed towards the forging shop. The other teammates all had wings and were not in a hurry to customize them.
This is his first time coming here to find NPC customization.
The apprentice NPCs placed the newly made equipment on the shelves. Recently, many people have come here to sell materials, and they have also produced a large number of weapons.
Yong Lin approached the checkout counter and greeted the cashier with a friendly "Hello."
The cashier NPC in the store is different from the NPC hired by residents to manage the store. They appear more intelligent. "Hello, sir. What kind of equipment do you need to buy?"
Yong Lin took out what he had obtained - two gray bird feathers. "Can I use these feathers to create the wings? Is it possible to customize them here?"
He was still a little worried when he said it, even though Lu Jiu had greeted for him before.
"Are you Mr. Yong Lin?" The NPC remembered that the city lord had told him that a gentleman with gray bird feathers would come to customize the equipment.
Yong Lin nodded, "Yes, it's me."
The NPC took the gray bird feather from him and said, "Okay, we have received your material. Since the material is at the bronze level, we will charge you a processing fee of 3 silver coins."
Yong Lin simply handed over 3 silver coins. 3 silver coins were nothing. Now a wing is sold for 15 silver coins.
The price varies depending on the level of equipment. The main reason is that the flying speed varies depending on the level of wing equipment.
After the NPC received the silver coins, the gray bird feather disappeared from his hands, and he passed the items to the store manager.
"Based on the current workload, your customized wings will need to wait for approximately three days. Our store cannot guarantee the successful production of the wings. If the production fails, half of the processing fee will be refunded to you."
Not every material can be produced successfully 100% of the time. It's just that the manager of this store is exceptionally talented and has a relatively high success rate.
Yong Lin knew this rule: "I understand, it's not troublesome."
Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered that the money he had saved seemed to be enough to purchase his favorite weapon. Thinking about it, he turned around once more and asked, "By the way, Galaxy Whip, is it still there? I want to buy that weapon."
The NPC nodded immediately, saying, "It's still there. The Galaxy Whip is a silver-level item and costs 369 silver coins. Do you want to buy it now?"
Yong Lin placed his hand on the NPC's hand and said, "Buy it now."
He has been thinking about this long whip for a while. He has killed numerous wild monsters in the past two days and has already accumulated 369 silver coins, even after dividing all the rewards among four people.
The NPC received the money, and a silver-gray whip appeared in his hand. "Please put away the weapon you want."
Yong Lin obtained the weapon and caressed it affectionately.
He believed that the shop was capable of producing such a high-level whip because it must have received instructions from Lu Jiu, the city lord. When he looked at the weapons, there was only a single long whip.
After obtaining the silver weapon, he only needed to wait for the successful completion of the wings. This way, he wouldn't hinder Lu Jiu and the others, and he could inflict more damage.
Zhuang Yun's Anxin Shop has been extremely busy these past two days, with many residents coming to shop specifically for the popular cool black bear prop.
On the first day the store opened, someone purchased this prop and used it in actual combat. Even though its height is only 2 meters, it can move around much faster than it can run on its own.
It's much easier to deal with winged monsters.
However, professional players have to venture out into the wilderness every day to clear it, leaving them with limited time to constantly monitor it. Additionally, the store opens at ten in the morning.
They leave the city early in the spring, so they can't wait until after ten o'clock.
For this reason, I could only find someone who was idle in the city and go to the store to have a look. To find this item on the shelf and buy it right away.
An An is now starting to improve her skills in creating black bear props. If she is good, she can make two in a day, and if she is not, she can make one in two days.
Zhuang Yun had gone out early that day. After An An got up, she ate some breakfast prepared by her father in advance, tidied up a bit, and went out.
It was just after ten o'clock. Not long after the store opened, many people were standing on the first floor, the majority of whom were ordinary residents.
She quickly glanced outside before rushing to another section of the street, just in time to find Tang Yi.
Tang Yi sat at the stall with his grandfather. The table was filled with a variety of braised foods, and a strange fragrance filled the air.
When he saw An An approaching, his eyes lit up. "An An, aren't you going to your shop?"
He remembered that the first thing An An did these days when she got up every day was to go to her family's store.
When Old Man Zeng saw An An, he greeted her warmly, saying, "Hello An An, come and have a seat."
After saying that, he asked her to take a seat behind the stall, and Tang Yi hurried over and sat beside her.
After An An sat down, she began to talk about why she came here. "There were many people in the store, and many uncles and aunts asked me when I would be able to sell black bears."
The family members of professional residents would ask if they had seen her.
Tang Yi expressed his understanding. Although An An wanted to give him the black bear doll, he still refused. It is not easy to make money nowadays. This prop can be sold for several silver coins in the store.
"Then let's go out and gather today, so we can avoid encountering those adults."
Going out to collect in the spring is much more interesting.
An'an thought about the scenery outside the city and nodded. "Okay, I also want to go to the lake to see it, but my father said that there are wild monsters there that could appear at any time, so he told me not to go."
Tang Yi naturally knew what kind of wild monsters there were, such as the big green bull. Many professional residents have beaten it there several times recently.
"It's okay, we can just watch from afar."
Old man Zeng saw that the two children had made up their minds and said, "I'll stay here and pick more glutinous rice. I'll make rice cakes for you."
The two children stood up and held hands. Tang Yi nodded when he heard his grandfather's words. "I know, let's go then."
Old man Zeng waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go."
Tang Yi led An An and ran out of the city, saying as they ran, "Nuomi Rice is easy to find. They are slightly different from other types of rice. I will teach you how to identify them later."
Since An'an's spring, she has been making various backpacks and props. However, she has been collecting less food, so she is still unclear about this.
"Okay, I'll give you the best beef in exchange for rice cakes. You can't refuse."
The most delicious meat in her family now is green beef. Even restaurants don't sell much of it every day. It can often increase Qi and blood. Good meat for the overall attribute value.
When Tang Yi heard about beef, his mouth watered involuntarily. "Okay, then Grandpa and I will make more rice cakes. The beef you gave us is too precious."
The two children talked and laughed as they walked out of the city, even though they watched a lot. This time, An An was still shocked by the scenery in front of her.
After just a few glances, an aunt next to her asked, "Is that Ms. An An? Have there been any black bear dolls for sale recently?" Forget it, it seems that she can't escape this greeting no matter where she goes.
