Qian Chunsheng, deeply moved, directed his equally moved colleagues to transport the large number of armor pieces from Yan Yu's forging room out one by one.

Without Yan Yu's reminder, after the equipment was moved away, 400 pieces of forging materials were piled into the room within half an hour.

While they were transporting things in and out, Qian Chunsheng invited Yan Yu to a restaurant alone and ordered expensive dishes that could temporarily increase attribute points.

He hardly ate anything himself, but he was always attentive in serving food to Yan Yu, vowing to make up for all the energy she had overdrawn before.

After dinner, Qian Chunsheng packed a lot of food for Yan Yu to take out, fearing that she would not be able to take care of herself and would neglect her food and sleep until she was exhausted.

Back at the blacksmith shop, Yan Yu checked the materials and then went back into the forging room: "I'm going to stay up a little longer tonight and try to forge more equipment. Please don't bother me."

Qian Chunsheng nodded quickly. "Don't worry, I'll have someone guard the door and make sure not even a fly can get in. If you need anything, just call for help. All the raw materials in the blacksmith shop will be given priority for your use."

Yan Yu smiled, then closed the door and began to purchase E-grade iron ore in the game store, giving priority to forging low-grade daggers.

"Be gentle with your movements! No one is allowed to disturb Master Yan. Do you hear me?" Qian Chunsheng turned around and gave a serious warning to everyone.

"Master Yan" was directly upgraded to "Master Yan", which shows how much Qian Chunsheng values ​​Yan Yu.

"I heard it." The answer was in unison.

Seeing that his men were doing as they were told, and their footsteps and voices became much softer, Qian Chunsheng nodded with satisfaction. After inspecting the area twice more, he put on two sets of armor, one D and one C, walked out of the gate and headed straight for the village chief's residence.

The problem with blacksmith Wang must be solved. We must not let him come back to cause trouble for Yan Yu. We can't let one bad apple spoil the whole barrel!

When Qian Chunsheng arrived outside the village chief's house, he happened to hear Wang the blacksmith slandering him and Yan Yu without any distinction, and his mouth was very foul.

"Uncle, they are definitely having an affair, otherwise why would that Qian give the blueprints to that little bitch for no reason! You asked him for the blueprints before, but he didn't give them to you. He definitely doesn't take you seriously!"

"Uncle, I don't care. You have to drive both of them away! The blacksmith shop belongs to me alone!"

Hearing this, Qian Chunsheng didn't hesitate and pushed open the door.

The expression on his face disappeared completely, and his voice was colder than ever before: "Okay, let's go. Anyway, people in the city have been trying to invite me to open a store there. If I didn't care about my fellow countrymen, I would have left this broken village long ago."

"This shop has been passed down from my grandfather's generation. If you want it, give me at least 30 gold coins. Of course, I'll take the assistants and Blacksmith Li with me. After all, they signed a ten-year employment contract with me. The odd jobs can be left to you."

Without Blacksmith Li and the assistants he trained, only some handymen and the empty shell of the blacksmith shop were left, which was of no use.

Seeing that Qian Chunsheng was indeed angry, the village chief quickly stepped out to smooth things over: "Boss Qian, anger is harmful to your health. My nephew is a bit mentally retarded, so don't bother with him."

"Uncle, let him go, wuwu..."

The moment Wang the blacksmith opened his mouth, the village chief covered his mouth tightly, with a look of suppressed anger on his face.

This damn blacksmith Wang always causes trouble for him every day.

If his eldest brother had not died early and entrusted the orphan to him, he would have wanted to twist his head off and kick it like a ball.

The village is about to be hit by a wave of monsters. It's a critical time, and the blacksmith shop bears the brunt of the burden. Now that we've offended Boss Qian, everyone is doomed.

What’s the point of having an empty shop then?

Why don't you use your brain?

Qian Chunsheng laughed in anger: "Okay, I wanted to show you Master Yan's true ability. Since you don't want me, then we'll just leave. If you don't want me here, I'll find another place to stay!"

After saying that, he turned and left with a resolute attitude.

The village chief knew that his nephew had angered him this time, so he kicked him mercilessly. Blacksmith Wang's head hit the ground with a "bang", and blood was flowing from his forehead. He was completely stunned.

But neither of the two people present paid any attention to him, which was truly cold and heartless.

"Boss Qian, don't be angry, don't be angry. We can discuss everything."

"There's nothing to discuss. If he offended me, then so be it. After all, we're from the same village. How could I possibly kill him? But this time, he was blind and offended a forging master who could save our entire village."

Qian Chunsheng glanced at Blacksmith Wang with a sidelong glance, then turned to the village chief and continued, "He's a master who can forge 200 pieces of D-grade armor and 2 pieces of C-grade armor in a day. At this rate, we should have at least 600 pieces of D-grade armor and 6 pieces of C-grade armor before the monster wave arrives, enough to protect the lives of at least 600 villagers."

"Now your nephew has messed up everything, and he's ready to leave."

This was of course a lie, which Qian Chunsheng made up specifically for the village chief to hear in order to create psychological pressure on him.

Village Chief Wang's heart skipped a beat. "...Is he really as powerful as you say?"

Qian Chunsheng took out the armor from his storage ring and threw it in front of him: "Why would I lie to you? I brought all the equipment with me, you can check it at will."

Village chief Wang also had the skills to identify equipment. He carefully checked it two or three times before he was sure that what Qian Chunsheng said was true.

The properties of these armors are actually much higher than those forged by Blacksmith Li. They can be said to be the best among D-level and C-level equipment.

I didn't expect that the girl who only had a pretty face but a scheming mind as described by my nephew, turned out to be a blacksmith with great skills!

It’s over, my nephew is in big trouble now.

Blacksmith Wang on the other end was still shouting in defiance: "Impossible! These must be defective products!" He had no relevant identification skills and spoke and acted based on his likes and dislikes.

Village chief Wang's nose was almost spitting sparks. He was so angry that he suddenly moved his feet and kicked with all his strength, causing Wang the blacksmith to hit the pillar of the house directly. His head tilted and he fainted.

The world finally stopped.

Village chief Wang and Qian Chunsheng also felt much better.

Village Chief Wang said, "I'm so sorry. I didn't know he had caused such a big mess. Could you please arrange for me to meet with the forging master so I can apologize to her in person?"

A forging master like this must never be offended. Perhaps she is the ray of hope mentioned in the prophecy.

Seven days ago, a village elder skilled in divination predicted that the village would soon face a catastrophic disaster, an unprecedented wave of monsters. However, amidst this disaster, there would also be a glimmer of hope.

If they are caught, not only will the village be safe, but they will also be able to obtain a large amount of resources and grow stronger.

If they fail to grasp that glimmer of hope, their family will be destroyed, their entire army will be annihilated, and there will no longer be Novice Village No. 1111.

After the deduction, the old man died for revealing the secret.

Only the village chief, Qian Chunsheng, the shop owner, and one of the clan elders knew about this. The four of them discussed making the news of the monster tide public, but no one shared the glimmer of hope, fearing that too many people would reveal it and cause a disturbance.

Judging from what Qian Chunsheng said today, perhaps that blacksmith is the ray of hope in the prophecy.

Qian Chunsheng refused without hesitation: "She doesn't like being disturbed."

Village Chief Wang's gray eyebrows and beard were wrinkled into a ball, and his face was extremely worried. "Boss Qian, please help me. You know the current situation of our village. We really can't afford any mistakes."

As for the glimmer of hope, both of them knew each other well, so there was no need to say it too clearly.

Qian Chunsheng pretended to be lost in thought until Village Chief Wang frantically wiped his sweat. Then he spoke, "I can be the mediator, but are you just going to offer a verbal apology? Your attitude is far too insincere."

The implication is: No one will pay attention to you if you don't offer an apology.

Village Chief Wang's throat tightened. "Then tell me, how should I apologize?"

Alas, people say that children are a debt. I don’t know how much debt he owed his nephew in his previous life. That’s why he was treated so badly in this life. Even his hair became bald early because of anger.

Qian Chunsheng put the two pieces of armor back into his storage ring, met Shangcun's long-awaited eyes, and said calmly, "I'm just afraid you won't be willing to part with them."

"Tell me, as long as we can keep that blacksmith master, I'd be willing to sacrifice my life." Village chief Wang smiled bitterly.

It is not difficult to make a choice between sacrificing one person and destroying the entire village.

Qian Chunsheng curled his lips and said, "What's the point of asking for your life? All I need is for you to hand over the equipment drawings you have."

In the entire village, only the village chief has a special equipment blueprint. For the forging master, the only valuable thing is the equipment blueprint.
