Chapter 464 Title: Lord of Arms

In the antique street, Wang Chuan, holding two long swords in his arms, was striding away with a happy face. In the shop behind him, Xu Yue, who was still sitting behind the counter, quietly watched the other person's retreating figure.

It wasn't until the figure completely disappeared from sight that he withdrew his gaze and turned to the red bank card that was flipping between his fingers.

This card contained a deposit for weapons delivered in advance by the other party. Although the six-digit amount was not too exaggerated, it was enough for him to squander for a long time.

He had already spent most of the funds he had collected from the boxing ring boss, but now he could just return blood, and it was a large blood bank that could continuously return blood, which saved him the money he originally planned to earn through 'fighting crime' A plan to make extra money.

Choosing to cooperate with the scavenger and making money is only second. More importantly, borrowing the power of the other party can solve most of the troubles for him in this area.

Glancing at the extremely simple black business card on the counter, Xu Yue chuckled and put it away together with the bank card in his hand.

Then he clicked on the anime series that was halfway playing on the computer screen, and soon the whole store continued to hear Nagato's slightly middle-aged voice.

The scavenger was just an episode in the real world. After the episode ended, he continued to resume his leisurely life of being an upright fisherman and looking after shops.

At this time, outside the antique street, as Wang Chuan walked out of the street with a long sword in his arms, four or five scavengers in urban management uniforms immediately gathered around him, and there were more figures outside still spreading warning.

When they come into contact with an extremely dangerous target like a second-level lone wolf contractor, even if the intelligence collected before indicates that the other party is not the kind of villain who would kill indiscriminately in the real world, they can never be so naive that they are really innocent. Be on guard.

For the captain to personally come forward to negotiate is to respect the identity of the blacksmith master, and the hundreds of armed members stationed around are necessary precautions. Once the negotiations break down, each of them is mentally prepared to fight for their lives.

"Captain, how was the negotiation? Did that person agree to join us?"

"Looking at the cheerful look on the captain's face, he must have negotiated well."

"Captain, captain, can you show me the sword in your arms?"

………

The crowd gathered, and various noisy voices began to sound one after another. In an organization like the Scavengers, where battles may break out at any time, most of the detachment members are both superiors and subordinates, as well as comrades who need to fight side by side, so the relationship between them is particularly harmonious. .

After seeing the captain walking out of the street safely, their tense nerves relaxed, and they asked him about the details of the negotiations. If they could really recruit a blacksmith master, it would be a major event that would benefit the entire detachment.

Since all active skills are prohibited in the real world, those legal professions are as arrogant in the paradise as they are in the real world.

Therefore, most of the scavenger's combat team members are based on passive and powerful melee techniques and remote mechanical systems. For the former, a good weapon and armor is hard to find.

In the center of the crowd, Wang Chuan looked at his teammates who were quickly gathering around him, quickly suppressed the smile on his lips, and waved his hands.

"Why don't you worry if I take action personally? Although store manager Xu has not agreed to join, we have already reached a cooperation intention."

"After that, I will gradually arrange for all main battle members to have a piece of real-life equipment that is at least green quality. As for the specific quality, it depends on what level of forging materials you can get."

"Okay, let's go back to the base and finish the rest. The mission is over and everyone is disbanded!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding team members quickly left with satisfaction. Only one tall female team member remained in place, her almond-shaped eyes staring longingly at the two sheathed swords in Wang Chuan's arms.

"Captain, are you tired? How about I help you share the load..."

Before she finished speaking, her fair and slender palm quickly moved towards the direction of the long sword. Unfortunately, she just touched the edge of the long sword and was dodged by the opponent deftly.

On the other side, Wang Chuan, who was turning slightly sideways, looked at the girl in front of him who was still a little bit agitated, his lips twitched slightly, and then he threw the unbladed Eight-sided Han Sword in his hand.

"Stop grabbing it, I'll give you this sword. Also, the cost of buying the sword will be deducted from your allowance next month."

"ah?!"

…………

An hour later, the scavengers returned to the base one after another. When Wang Chuan, the captain, appeared again, they were already in a silver conference room.

A long table stood horizontally in the spacious room, with several scavenger members sitting on both sides. As everyone looked around, they saw a large screen unfolding at the front of the conference room.

Above it are battle videos that are being played in a loop, and the protagonists of all the videos are pointing at the same person, but the weapons they wield are different.

"Regarding Shopkeeper Xu, these are all the complete sets of information I just acquired in the park, including nearly 60 complete battle videos of the opponent in the arena, as well as a small amount of combat information in some derivative worlds and survival trials. ”

"Judging from these data, this shopkeeper Xu is not only a master of forging, but also extremely powerful in combat. According to preliminary estimates, the opponent can at least reach the top fifty of the second level. Remember, it is at least."

"The following is the general information compiled by the analysis team: Xu Jiang, whose real name is unknown, codenamed Xinhuo, is a second-level lone wolf, a contractor of the technique system and the fire system. There is a high probability that the three attributes will be improved together. The sub-professionals are forging and enchanting. Currently, I opened a furnace shop in Paradise City and mastered the unique skill of soul-melting equipment. I was invited by many large adventure groups, but they were all rejected..."

"The occupation is unknown, and the bloodline is unknown. However, according to the budget of the analysis team, the opponent's bloodline should be related to metal. The whole-body metal defense ability is comparable to dark purple armor. The numerical value is exaggerated. It is basically impossible to achieve this level with conventional skills. , As for the occupation, it is most likely an extremely rare skill-enhancing occupation. According to statistics, the skill types exposed by the opponent include halberd, knife, shield, and bow, a total of four categories, and..."

Speaking of this, the commentator next to the screen paused slightly. After swallowing, he continued to speak dryly:

"And all the skill levels are at least Specialization +20 or above, even Master level..."

As soon as the words fell, the entire conference room fell into dead silence at first, and then a large amount of noise erupted.

"Are you kidding? Four master techniques. Are you sure the guys in the analysis team really understand what these concepts are?"

"The second-level lone wolf, if he says he has mastered one master-level technique, I might be able to believe it, but four? In terms of the need for technique upgrades, do you know what a terrifying resource consumption this represents? Not to mention that furnace shop Even those large adventure groups can hardly afford this kind of burden."

"That's right, the last time the captain tried to get Swordsmanship Specialization +25, he was so poor that he almost sold his blood. No matter how much money he has, he can't afford such a waste..."

……………

Doubts arose one after another in the conference room. Due to the combat requirements of the real world, everyone present had more or less mastered one or two technical passive skills.

Whether it's close combat or firearms, although their quality is basically at the level of specialization and below, they all have a very deep understanding of the level of passive gold swallowing in skills.

That's why they are so excited and incredulous when they hear that someone may have mastered four master techniques.

Not to mention how much effort it takes to master the four techniques, the most basic resource consumption alone is an astronomical figure that is difficult to estimate.

At the front of the conference table, unlike the excitement of other members, Wang Chuan, the captain, acted particularly calm.

As early as when he sensed the terrifying aura Xu Yue inadvertently released in the store, he knew that the opponent's strength was definitely far superior to his, but he didn't expect it to be exaggerated to such an extent.

It can only be said that it is fortunate that no conflict broke out before, otherwise it would be impossible for all of them to tie up a piece and chop it with one person from the other side.

His thoughts were rolling, and he suppressed the fear that surged in his heart. He first glared at the team member who just spread the rumor that he was so poor that he planned to sell his blood. Then, after looking around, he slapped the table and reprimanded decisively.

"Bang!!"

"Quiet, everyone!"

Sometimes the captain's majesty can still have a deterrent effect. With a muffled sound, the originally noisy conference room instantly returned to silence, with only Wang Chuan's steady voice echoing slowly.

"No matter how many techniques that store manager Xu has mastered, he and our detachment now have a cooperative relationship, so there is no need for us to argue endlessly on this point."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Monsters are always emerging in the park. All we can do is adapt. Do you understand, Li Lei, continue!"

"Yes, Captain."

Next to the big screen, the commentator named Li Lei responded solemnly and continued to explain.

"Of course the analysis team knows that the Four Techniques Master is somewhat ridiculous, but the combat information displayed in the intelligence cannot be false, so it is determined that the opponent's profession can have an extremely significant blessing effect on the techniques, or significantly reduce the resources required to improve the techniques. Consumption..."

"In short, according to the current intelligence information, this store manager Xu has reached the top S level in terms of forging ability, actual combat power, and development potential. The analysis team's view is: try to be as good as possible within the controllable range. "

"As long as it does not affect social stability, then give them sufficient respect and freedom. If they are found to have serious anti-social tendencies, they must be exterminated at all costs."

"By the way, one more thing. Yesterday, after discussions with the information dealers in the Paradise Black Market, the title of Store Manager Xu has been preliminarily decided: Soldier Master!"

After the words fell, everyone at the scene had different expressions, and Wang Chuan was staring at the battle videos on the screen in front of him in a daze.

"Soul-melting forging, four techniques, forging weapons and wielding weapons... In the face of this kind of ability, it is quite appropriate to call him a soldier master."

………………

Afternoon, Antique Street.

As the sun sets in the west, the bright sunshine in the sky gradually turns into a softer and more magnificent clouds. The gentle breeze blows across the long street, causing the strings of wind chimes under the eaves of the tea shop to ring louder and clearer, which happens to coincide with that one. The crisp sound of the Tao complements each other.

"General."

In the open space between the tea shop and the weapon shop, two figures, an old man and a young man, sat across the table from each other. Xu Yue casually picked up a chess piece and placed it near the black general on the opposite side. The outcome on the chessboard was immediately decided.

"Okay, 2 to 3, you win this time. Your chess skills are getting better, Mr. Xu."

On the other side of the chessboard, An Lao paused his gaze on the chessboard for a few seconds, and then he decisively chose to admit defeat. There was no need to struggle in this situation, and he had won twice before, so it was just a narrow defeat.

Having successfully convinced himself, An Lao did not feel depressed after the defeat. While putting the chess pieces in his hand into the mahogany chessboard beside him, he seemed to chat casually.

"Xu kid, the person who came this morning was not an ordinary customer, right?"

"Huh?!" Hearing this, Xu Yue, who was also tidying up the chessboard on the other side, paused slightly, but soon resumed his movements. "What did you see?"

"Hmph, I've lived for most of my life, and I've seen all kinds of people. I'm very familiar with the smell of that guy. Although I don't know what you do for a living, if you really run into any trouble, I can still help you out."

"After all, at this age, there's not much left, and I only have some connections to squander."

Looking up at the serious old man on the opposite side, Xu Yue pulled the corner of his mouth and handed over the mahogany chess box that he had already sorted out.

"Thank you for your trouble. Don't worry. We are all doing legitimate business. But I will remember what you said. If I really encounter any trouble in the future, I will not be polite."

"That's all for today. I won't disturb you to continue basking in the sun. I have to go to clean up the shop. I will play chess with you tomorrow."

After saying that, Xu Yue picked up the tea next to the chessboard and drank it all. Then he stood up and left. Behind him, An Lao looked at the figure who disappeared in the shop after turning around. After a light sigh, he also picked up the still warm tea next to him and sipped it slowly.

"Tsk, legitimate business..."

"But has this kid grown taller again?!"

……………

After returning to the shop, Xu Yue's life trajectory seemed monotonous. Time passed quickly while watching the shop and playing iron. Soon, several days passed in a flash.

Until one afternoon, he just put the red sword embryo in his hand into the special quenching liquid. As a large piece of white mist rose, a familiar paradise prompt sound also sounded.
