"Huh?" Lin Jingge didn't understand why Qian Suisui would bring that up.

"Exactly, these vendors are the worst at ripping people off, you have to be careful."

Lin Jingge nodded with a smile.

She didn't have enough spirit stones to buy those unnecessary things. However, she still accepted Qian Suisui's kindness with a smile.

Lin Jingge patiently accompanied Qian Suisui on a stroll for quite a while.

"Alright, let's go back. I know you're thinking about the weapon-refining room," Qian Suisui said with a smile.

Lin Jingge never hid her interest in weapon crafting, so it was normal for Qian Suisui to notice.

The Qian family did not use a weapon-refining room; the weapon-refining room was built along with the alchemy room when the family was established.

The alchemy room was occupied by alchemists hired by the Qian family at high prices, making it a highly important family property. Retainers like Lin Jingge were not qualified to go there.

However, the weapon-refining room was the complete opposite of the alchemy room. The Qian family had no weapon refiners, so the weapon-refining room was built but was just for show. No one had been there for a long time, and even the main door was locked with a huge lock.

When Qian Suisui went to ask her father for the key, Qian Zhong was surprised to learn that Lin Jingge was actually interested in weapon crafting.

Lingyun City hasn't produced a weapon refiner in a long time.

Unlike the popular field of alchemy, weapon crafting is an extremely unpopular field.

After obtaining the key, they successfully entered the Qian family's weapon-refining room. The items inside were all purchased previously.

It is now covered in dust.

Qian Suisui stepped forward and blew on the dust, which rose up everywhere on the stage.

"My weapon-refining room hasn't been used in a long time. Should I have someone come and clean it?" Qian Suisui said after taking a stroll around.

"No need to trouble yourself." Lin Jingge shook her head.

Her relationship with the Qian family was merely a business partnership; she wasn't a member of the Qian family.

Qian Suisui wasn't interested in weapon crafting, so she didn't stay with Lin Jingge for long before leaving.

"Lin Shu, if you're bored, I'll take you to where Grandma lives," Lin Jingge said, looking at Lin Shu beside her.

Lin Shu quickly tugged at Lin Jingge's trouser leg, clearly unwilling to leave.

Lin Jingge did not insist.

"Gege, even if we want to forge weapons, we don't have any fire seeds, no fire seeds..." Xiaoshi jumped out of the space and stepped onto the dusty table with cat-like steps.

Although it disliked the environment, fortunately, it was just an energy body and wouldn't get dusty.

After Lin Shu saw Xiao Shi, his attention was completely drawn to her.

Feeling terrified under Lin Shu's gaze, Xiao Shi instinctively tried to run, but it was too late; he couldn't escape Lin Shu's clutches.

Once captured, it can no longer enter the space.

"Xiao Shi, you play with him for a while, I'll go inside and take a look."

Xiao Shi was reluctant, but since Lin Jingge had said so, what could it do but lie down and let her touch it?

"Let's make this clear first, don't absorb my energy again this time!" Xiao Shi's bristling fur had calmed down. Last time, it was almost drained dry by Lin Shu, and it took two spirit stones to replenish its energy.

Thinking about it now still gives me lingering fear.

It stayed obediently in Lin Shu's arms. It thought to itself that as long as the other party didn't touch its energy, it wouldn't resist for the time being.

This time, Lin Shu did not touch the energy in Xiao Shi's body again. He did so last time only out of curiosity.

Now that he knows this little gadget belongs to Lin Jingge, he naturally won't destroy it.

The energy within the other person's body is quite similar to his.

Lin Jingge walked into another room, where some worthless ores were scattered on the floor.

The fire in the stove had been out for who knows how long, and even the areas that had been scorched black by the embers were now covered in ash.

Lin Jingge was somewhat disappointed. She had originally thought this place was a place for weapon forging, but now it seemed that the Qian family hadn't put any effort into weapon forging and had simply sold off everything they could. Not only was there no flame, but the huge weapon forging room couldn't even find a flint.

Xiao Shi lay lazily on the ground, letting Lin Shu stroke his back.

"You should be able to transform into something else, right? Transform into a fox and let me see." Lin Shu brought Xiao Shi up in front of him, the innocence in his eyes gone, replaced by malice.

Xiao Shi: "...?"

"Even Gege has never asked me for this, so why are you..." Xiao Shi struggled with her limbs, but before she could finish her rebuttal, she felt the energy within her body disappear.

In a sense, Lin Shu is also Xiao Shi's natural enemy.

Xiao Shi succumbed to Lin Shu's lecherous ways and was tricked by him.

After transforming into a little fox, Lin Shu carefully returned the energy he had just absorbed to Xiao Shi.

"Hmph, at least you have a conscience." Xiao Shi snorted.

When Lin Jingge came out, she saw Xiao Shi, who was completely different from the one she knew.

"Gege, why did you come out so quickly?!" Xiao Shi immediately stood up straight and looked at Lin Jingge.

Lin Jingge was deeply fascinated by these artifacts; sometimes he could spend an entire year working on mechs.

Even if the level of weapon crafting in this world is poor, it shouldn't be enough to completely eliminate Lin Jingge's hobby, right?

Lin Shu's gaze followed Xiao Shi's.

"It's almost empty inside," Lin Jingge explained, before carefully examining Xiao Shi.

After Xiaoshi was born, the first animal she saw was a cat. She had a special fondness for cats, and in her memory, she had never transformed into anything other than a cat.

Why today...?

Xiao Shi had been following Lin Jingge for so long that he could tell what she was thinking with just a glance.

Taking advantage of Lin Shu letting go, he covered his furry fox face and hid in the space.

"I have to go out in a bit. I'll take you to Grandma's first." Lin Jingge led Lin Shu outside.

"I want to follow you." Lin Shu was unwilling to leave.

At that moment, Lin Jingge was locking the door. Upon hearing Lin Shu's words, she paused in her locking action, then took the key and held it in her hand.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to look after you for a while, you should stay with Grandma for now."

Lin Shu was somewhat disappointed to see that Lin Jingge had already made her decision.

After Granny Lin entered the Qian family, she settled down near the Qian family's sacred fields.

All the spiritual plants she cultivated were supplied to Qian Zhong and others.

Lin Jingge returned the key first, and then took Lin Shu to Grandma Lin's place.

She then went to the iron shop she had come across while shopping earlier.

The forging methods in this world are different from those in her world. If she wants to learn weapon crafting, she has to start from the very basics.

Stepping into the blacksmith's shop, a wave of heat hit her as soon as she entered. Lin Jingge glanced around.

The blacksmith shop had some ironware on display, and next to it was a large furnace. The owner, who had been resting nearby, immediately got up and went over when someone came in.

"Hey, what are you doing here, little girl?" The one who spoke was the blacksmith shop owner. He was the only one in the shop, and he was the same blacksmith Lin Jingge had met before.

The blacksmith shop owner was a burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist. He was shirtless, and his muscles bulged prominently on his shoulders and arms.
