Noon, the sun was shining brightly, and not far away from the Blue Cloud Mountain, within Blue Moon City.
Even though it was already noon, the sun was scorching. However, the streets were still bustling with people.
Even though Liu Xu had frequently brought Liu Yunqi to this city to play and purchase things.
But the feeling of being alone was a different thing. Everything around him made him feel new.
This new feeling caused the depression caused by Liu Yunqi leaving home to subside a little.
Looking at the passersby on the street, a strange sense of familiarity arose within him.
Involuntarily, Liu Yunqi recalled the incident that happened when he first met Liu Xu five years ago.
At the time, he thought Liu Xu was a peddler being chased all over the streets, but not long after, they became siblings.
In the next five years, they practically never parted ways. Thinking of all these, Liu Yunqi's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
As he was sighing in his heart, suddenly, as if he had sensed something, Liu Yunqi fiercely turned and looked behind him.
There was nothing on the street that made him suspicious.
Liu Yunqi swept his eyes across his surroundings, yet didn't discover anything. He couldn't help but scratch his head.
Along the way, he felt that someone was watching him.
But strangely, when he turned his head around, he didn't discover anything. This kind of feeling made Liu Yunqi feel extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
"Could it be an illusion?"
Shaking his head, Liu Yunqi did not think much of it and continued to walk forward.
"Ding ~ Ding ~ Ding"
A burst of metallic sounds rang out from the front of the street and entered Liu Yunqi's ears.
He focused his attention and saw a blacksmith shop in front of him. The sound of forging came from that shop.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Yunqi walked forward.
Entering the smithy, all sorts of weapons were imprinted in Liu Yunqi's eyes.
The shelves held spears, longswords, sabers and axes, and all sorts of weapons were placed within the store. Liu Yunqi was dazzled by what he saw.
As he casually waved the sword on the shelf, Liu Yunqi shook his head, as though he was dissatisfied.
The shop owner noticed Liu Yunqi's actions and went forward to ask, "Dear customer, may I know if you are satisfied with anything?"
In this world, eight or nine year old children had already started to train in battle-qi, so there would often be nine or ten year old children who would come to the blacksmith to buy weapons.
"It's a little light." Liu Yunqi passed the iron sword in his hand to the shop owner.
"Light?" The shop owner frowned, he received the iron sword and weighed it in his hand, "This customer, isn't the weight of the sword the same as well? How can it be light? " The shop owner looked at Liu Yunqi suspiciously, beginning to suspect if he was causing trouble on purpose.
"Crunch."
Liu Yunqi took off his wristguard and placed it in the shop owner's hands, then said: "My wristguard is even heavier than this sword."
The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed, this wristguard was at least fifteen kilograms in weight, and looking at the wristguard on Liu Yunqi's other wrist, he realized in his heart, "No wonder I felt it was light."
"Customer, how about you tell me what weight you want? How about I personally make it for you?" The shop owner hurriedly said.
"Forget about the sword, I have one." On the other hand, I feel that the thing in your hand is too light. Liu Yunqi said.
"This is even lighter than it is before?! "Then how much do you want?" The shop owner's expression immediately turned strange.
"It weighs twice as much." Liu Yunqi said indifferently.
Liu Yunqi had always believed that diligence could make up for one's shortcomings and could not help but slacken his pace. Two years ago, he had already started this kind of weight-bearing training.
From the first 10 jin to the last 30 jin, he had never taken off the bracers on his body before as he continued to work on it.
"One .." "Double ..!" The shop owner was stunned. "How can he be so strong at such a young age?"
"What, can't you make it?"
"Yes!" "I can create anything heavy, but it's just the price..." The shop owner said hesitantly.
"How much?"
"Making this takes quite a bit of time, and the metal buckles inside are quite complicated, so a wristguard costs fifty silver coins." The shop owner said hesitantly.
"This is too expensive. Last time, I only got 30 silver coins from another family ~"
This world's currency was divided into three types: copper, silver, and gold.
One silver coin was equal to one hundred copper coins, and one gold coin was equal to one hundred silver coins. Generally speaking, one silver coin was enough for an ordinary person to live for a month.
"Hehe, this customer, our shop will guarantee quality. Moreover, your construction this time is heavier than last time and will take more time. Therefore .." The shop owner laughed as he returned the wristguard back to Liu Yunqi and said.
After putting the wrist guard back on, Liu Yunqi asked: Then, how long will it take to create a wrist guard?
"Not to mention one day, but this is also an extremely urgent situation. If you don't hurry, a wrist guard will have to wait for two to three days. After all, I have quite a lot of traffic here .." So, customer, how many bracers do you want to make? Do we need to hurry it up? " the shop owner asked.
"If it's eight of them, how long will it take for you to obtain them?"
"Eight .." Eight?! " The shop owner was shocked. He hesitated for a moment and said, "If you're not in a hurry, you'll have to wait for a month .."
"One month? "Then forget it, it's been too long. I'll go to another house to take a look." Liu Yunqi waved his hand.
"Ai .." Hold on, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Customer, are you in a hurry to use it? "Then how long do you think it's acceptable?" The shop owner immediately pulled Liu Yunqi.
"I want you to do it today." Liu Yunqi said.
"Today..." Today?! Customer, you are really making things difficult for us. Looking around the entire Blue Moon City, do you know which family will fulfill your request within a day? "Today, we can only produce eight young embryos at most, and the quality cannot be guaranteed." The shop owner frowned.
"Then forget it .." Liu Yunqi waved his hand.
Just as he was about to leave, his gaze was attracted by a spear on the shelf.
Liu Yunqi casually picked up the long spear that was at least 10 meters long, his hand sinking down, Liu Yunqi casually played with it and said, "Oh ~, that feels good, boss, how much money is that?"
"Oh ~ Customer, you really have good eyes. This is the best spear in our shop. I personally made it with fine iron. It's not expensive, only one gold coin."
"Oh? The best? That means everything else is trash? "
The corner of the shop owner's eyes twitched, "Eh .." Customer, what you just said... How could there be garbage in this shop? "You sure know how to joke around .."
"50 silver coins .."
Leaving the smithy, Liu Yunqi's lips curled up slightly. He looked at the sky and saw that the sun had already set.
"Let's go eat .."
Turning around, Liu Yunqi walked into the tavern. Just as he sat down, before he even had the chance to pour himself a cup of water, he heard the conversation from the table next to him.
"Sigh. Have you heard? On the anniversary of the Adventurer Guild, they gave all the Adventurer s a special task. A first rank beast core could at least give them a hundred gold coins, second rank gave them a thousand, third rank gave them ten thousand, and once they reached level four, they could give them thirty thousand gold coins! "There can be even more higher!"
"Isn't it a bit too easy to earn money?" Unfortunately, I am not a Martial Master! Otherwise, I would be going to become a Adventurer right now! "
If I knew earlier, I would have gone to learn battle qi as well! Although the school fees were a bit expensive, it was very easy to earn money! How regretful! "
"You guys ~ standing and talking doesn't hurt!" Was it really that easy to be a Adventurer? "Everyday, I have been fighting and killing demon beasts in the wild. If I were to lose my life one day, it would be in the stomach of a demon beast. I am risking my life to earn money!"
"Sigh, that's true, how could the Adventurer be so easy to be? How could the number of Martial Cultivator who join the Adventure Association exceed ten thousand every year? It's not worth thinking about how one or two adventure teams disappear everyday. Sigh, it's not easy to earn money. "
Hearing the long sigh from the neighboring table, Liu Yunqi could not help but become interested in the Adventurer Guild. "1000 gold coins? So easy to earn? I should be able to deal with a magical beast of the second rank, right? Although Master called me out to gain some experience, he didn't give me a specific mission. I'll just earn some money first.
Just as he was thinking about the Adventure Association, the waiter came over with a menu. Liu Yunqi looked at the menu, and ordered two dishes, and said: "Oh right, may I ask how to get to the Adventure Association?"
"Customer, are you going to the Adventure Association?!" The attendant looked at Liu Yunqi suspiciously and asked.
"Yes, is there a problem?" Liu Yunqi asked doubtfully.
"There's a little problem, the Adventure Association is not far away from here. The Mercenary Union will often be fighting because of quests, so it's very chaotic over there." The waiter said.
"Oh? Mercenary Guild? How close are the two sides? " Liu Yunqi asked curiously.
"It's only a street away. Customer, do you really want to go? If you really want to go there, you must be careful not to get involved in battles. These two unions often fight, and no one will care about the deaths. " The waiter kindly reminded.
"Oh, I understand. Thank you for your reminder. Then, where are these two guilds?" Liu Yunqi asked.
"When we head west, the two guilds are very obvious. It's very easy to find them." The waiter said.
"En, alright, I understand. Thank you for your information." Liu Yunqi nodded his head, took out a silver coin and placed it in the waiter's hands.
"It was nothing. Thank you for your generosity." The waiter's eyes immediately lit up and he immediately kept the silver coins. He bowed towards Liu Yunqi and happily walked towards the kitchen.
Perhaps because he had accepted Liu Yunqi's money, the waiter soon brought the dishes to the table.
Liu Yunqi picked up the chopsticks and savored a mouthful of it, then frowned: "I'm used to eating the food cooked by Big Sister Jing Xin, the food outside really doesn't feel good .."
After filling his stomach in the tavern, Liu Yunqi walked towards the direction of the Adventure Association.
After walking for half an hour and asking a few more passersby, he finally found the Adventurer Guild.
The Adventurer Guild took up a huge amount of space, covering more than half of the entire street. Although there were blue and white tiles on the walls, the atmosphere was still strict.
It was a huge shield, with a long sword and axe crossing at the same time. This was the emblem of the Adventure Association, which was printed on the top of the door, giving the entire Adventurer Association a heroic look.
Liu Yunqi turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was as if he was looking at the Adventurer's Association, the Mercenary Guild at the end of the street was equally grand, just looking up.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Yunqi walked into the Adventurer's Association.
The main hall of the union was currently filled with people, with seventy to eighty people occupying more than half of it. The main hall, which could originally be considered spacious, was now slightly crowded.
Each of the Adventurer s held a shield shaped badge in their hands as they squeezed towards a large counter in the center of the hall.
Liu Yunqi looked at his own body and compared himself with the strong men. Without even thinking, he knew, if he were to squeeze himself too, he would definitely be squashed by the bunch of Adventurer s.
Shaking his head, Liu Yunqi did not join the group. Instead, he looked around, and just as a servant was about to walk past him, Liu Yunqi immediately pulled her back: "Sis, may I ask where the registered Adventurer is?"
Seeing such a young child, he frowned slightly: "Child, you want to register a Adventurer? This is no joke. Stop fooling around and quickly go home. This is not a place where a child like you can stay. "
The attendant did not pay any attention to Liu Yunqi, and anxiously continued to walk forward.
"Ai .." "I .." Liu Yunqi wanted to refute his words, but the attendant had already walked far away, causing him to instantly become indignant. "What's wrong with children?! Just a little kid can't become a Adventurer?! This is discrimination! Undisguised discrimination! "He is irresponsible for his work!"
