"Good wine."

Qin Sheng nodded, took a small sip, and then put it down.

Uesugi Sakura curiously peeked out, silently thinking of pouring herself a drink.

"Children shouldn't drink this."

Qin Sheng tapped her on the head, and she silently pouted, watching longingly as a bottle of wine fell into Qin Sheng's spatial bracelet.

"Qin Sheng and Uesugi Sakura are very close," Anna said with a smile.

"Not really, he's just a child, of course he needs to be taken care of," Qin Sheng said casually.

Anna said quietly, "If you're going to take care of us, why bring us to this icy, snowy region? It's not good for us to get cold."

She cautiously inquired.

Qin Sheng understood her meaning and said calmly, "Let her see the world out here, and I'll take her back with me later."

Anna breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "That's good. It'll be good to see more of the world and broaden our horizons."

Anna then led Qin Sheng around to see the various arenas used for competitions throughout the city.

There were also sturdy tables where many strong men, shirtless and with taut muscles, were arm wrestling.

Some domesticated grizzly bears strolled leisurely along the road, and children would occasionally ride on them. Sakura Uesugi also got to experience it.

At dinner, plates of meat were served one after another, and finding even a speck of green on the table was a luxury.

Anna also boldly challenged Qin Sheng to a drinking contest, although getting drunk was impossible for them.

"It's getting late, and accommodations have been prepared for you."

"This is troublesome."

Anna escorted Qin Sheng and his companion to their residence and then politely took her leave.

Qin Sheng didn't try to stop him, closed the door, and went outside to the window.

The rooftops had all disappeared, leaving only white snow covering them, making each one look like a snowfield at first glance.

Glistening snowflakes drifted down before Qin Sheng's eyes, then melted away in his breath.

"How do you feel?"

Qin Sheng turned around and looked at Shangshan Yingli, who was warming her hands by the stove.

"It's fun," said Uesugi Sakura happily, enjoying the process of her hands gradually warming up as she didn't have the strength to resist the cold.

"Where is Taotie?"

As Qin Sheng asked the question, the little white mouse emerged from the shadows, looking utterly helpless: "Squeak squeak (rolling around in the snow)."

"Let him get down to business and find out what level the beast in the Tears of Winter is," Qin Sheng said helplessly.

"squeak."

The white mouse was nowhere to be seen, but Qin Sheng still noticed that it was covered in snowflakes.

They were clearly having a great time playing with the Taotie.

A moment later, Taotie sent back a message.

"No?"

Qin Sheng frowned. After heading towards the vicinity of the Tears of Winter, the Taotie sensed no trace of any strange beasts...

"Even if you're dead, you can still hide your presence?"

The next day, Anna knocked on the door, already dressed in loose casual clothes.

"Thank you for your help, City Lord Anna."

"It doesn't matter."

Qin Sheng planned to purchase some equipment for the millions of Winter's Tears, such as tents.

After all, the situation inside Winter's Tears is unclear, and we might have to stay inside for a few days.

It won't be damaged by wind and rain.

Arriving at the shopping street, one finds not only outdoor gear but also unusual spirits.

"These wines have a lot of medicinal herbs added during the brewing process, which can bring some unique effects."

Anna explained, "Just like the elixirs in Kaitian City, some wines can help people recover from injuries quickly, while others can stimulate potential, and so on."

"Is the yield greater compared to that of elixirs?" Qin Sheng asked.

“Generally speaking, we can take more, but the dosage will vary, so it may end up being about the same,” Anna explained. “However, in this environment, strong liquor can help us resist the cold and save some energy for fighting, so we still prefer strong liquor.”

"That makes some sense."

Soon, Anna arrived at the outside of a rather glamorous shop.

However, there was some arguing at the entrance.

"What do you mean? You're not doing business with us anymore?" Prosa said coldly.

"I'm sorry, sir, we have important guests today and it's really inconvenient for us to do business."

"An important guest?" Prosa chuckled. "An important guest needs to come in person? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"You want to ask me? Who am I supposed to ask? Anyway, we're not open for business today," the store manager said coldly as he came out with his arms crossed.

"Looking for trouble, huh?"

"Want to go into the ring?"

Before they could even start fighting, Anna slowly said, "Alright."

The two turned around and their faces froze the moment they saw Anna.

"This is the important guest you were talking about?" Prosa asked incredulously.

"You said that?"

"OK. Sorry to bother you, goodbye!"

The shopkeeper's lips twitched. He took a deep breath and looked at Qin Sheng beside him. The city lord probably didn't come out looking for a fight.

"Lord of the City, you have arrived."

"Okay." Anna said calmly, "We'll finish as soon as possible so as not to disturb your shop opening."

"No, that's not true, please take your time," the store manager said with a smile.

After the brief incident, Qin Sheng went into the store to listen to the store manager's introduction.

“Our store is quite well-known in Grizzly City. Although we can’t compare to some of the bigger stores, the quality is absolutely guaranteed.”

The store manager explained, "For example, this tent is a bit simple to operate, but it is still very sturdy and reliable. It is made from materials made from mythical beasts."

"These are some ordinary ones. Although they can't compare to those made from exotic beast materials, they are still far ahead of their competitors."

As the introductions continued, Qin Sheng came to understand why Anna had brought him here.

This brand's quality is indeed excellent, and the materials they use are perfectly suited to the animal kingdom, but the price is also very high, so they are destined to only offer high-quality products.

After looking around several times, Qin Sheng came in person to see how Grizzly Bear City would utilize the remains of the alien beasts.

Learn about the technology from other cities.

It seems that Grizzly City truly lives up to its reputation as a warrior nation. There are significantly more remains of alien beasts compared to Kaitian City, and these remains are not limited to the manufacture of weapons but have been integrated into other industries.

However, its utilization is not much different from that of Kaitian City.

After getting a general idea of ​​Grizzly City's technological level, Qin Sheng casually picked out one item and some other equipment before paying the bill.

"Lord Anna, what are your thoughts on living weapons?"

On the way, Qin Sheng asked leisurely.

“Very strong,” Anna replied with just two words.

"Then City Lord Anna needs to hurry. Everyone will realize this in the future. Obtaining a sufficient share of live weapons will not be an easy task."

Anna squinted: "I understand."

Qin Sheng saw the potential of Grizzly City, its potential to be exploited.

Wouldn't it be better to let him study so many remains of strange beasts? Using them to build tents and arenas would be a waste.

It should be noted that Qin Sheng was prepared to fail countless times in gene fusion, and the required remains of alien beasts were not insignificant.

Given Grizzly City's warlike nature, it would likely provide him with a considerable amount of beast remains.

"Then City Lord Anna, you must hurry."

Qin Sheng offered a reminder, then looked towards the city wall: "We should set off as well."
