Without the hardships and inferiority of her previous life, as long as Wen Yuxian had a clear mind, she would naturally know how to deal with Cui Hesheng's mother.
Wen Yubai decided that unless there were any special changes in the future, and as long as Cui Hesheng was not a scumbag, she would no longer interfere in the affairs of Wen Yuxian and Cui Hesheng. After all, matters of the heart are something that only the person concerned knows how to handle.
The two sisters talked privately in the study for a long time before coming out.
Zhang Xiying came forward and said to Wen Yubai with a happy face: "Xiaoyu, the base commander's wife came to visit just now and said she wanted to invite our family to dinner tonight."
"Have you agreed?" Wen Yubai asked.
"The base commander's wife came to invite me personally, there's no way I could refuse," said Zhang Xiying.
When she said this, she looked at Wen Yubai a little uneasily, somewhat afraid that Wen Yubai's opinion would be different from hers.
Wen Yubai nodded. Although his stepmother was a little anxious to make friends with the base commander's family, the base commander's wife came personally to invite them. Anyone who didn't want to fall out with the base commander would accept her invitation, and even Wen Yubai would not refuse.
"We are visiting someone's home, so we can't leave empty-handed, but I have no idea what gift we should give." Zhang Xiying said with some distress.
The other party is the base commander. Zhang Xiying was just an ordinary civil servant before the apocalypse, and an ordinary person again after the apocalypse. She really doesn't know how to socialize in this world.
As her husband was out and had not yet returned, she had to ask for advice from her very capable stepdaughter.
Zhang Xiying's question also stumped Wen Yubai. Given the status and position of Base Captain Fu, as well as the abilities of Major Pei and Su Yongquan, she couldn't think of any outstanding gifts.
The three women discussed there for a long time, but couldn't come up with a good gift until Wen Jinsong came back.
After listening to their troubles, Wen Jinsong thought for a moment before saying, "Xiaoyu, the weapons you refine are very famous in Base No. 5. You haven't refined any weapons since you were promoted to Level 3. Why don't you take into account the situation of the base commander's family and give them some self-defense weapons? This is more practical than any other weapons."
"They are inviting us to a banquet, is it appropriate for us to give them weapons as gifts?" Zhang Xiying disagreed a little. This was too inappropriate.
"You don't know how precious a suitable weapon is after the apocalypse. The weapon refined by Xiaoyu when she was at the second level of the gold-type supernatural power has a market price of five hundred first-level crystal cores at Base No. 5. Just imagine how precious the weapon she refines is with her current level of supernatural power." Wen Jinsong said.
Not to mention that Zhang Xiying was stunned after hearing this, even Wen Yubai herself was stunned. She really didn't know that the weapon she refined was so expensive.
"Many people have expressed to me that they want to buy the weapons you refine." Wen Jinsong said to Wen Yubai, "Xiaoyu, if possible, you can refine some weapons and sell them. This way you can sell a lot of crystal cores and enhance the strength of the base's psychics."
"Of course I can, but I can't sell weapons myself." Wen Yubai said. She might as well practice instead.
"Leave it to me." Wen Jinsong knew his daughter's lazy nature better than anyone else.
"Then I will temper some weapons for you when I have time. You can do whatever you want." Wen Yubai agreed of course.
"Besides the crystal core, do you need any other supplies?" Wen Jinsong asked.
"Not at the moment." Wen Yubai said.
Ever since Wen Jinsong learned that his daughter's spiritual power training required a large number of first-level crystal cores, he began to consider this business. After all, the number of crystal cores he could get by fighting and killing alone was limited.
Now that his daughter has agreed to sell weapons, he will make some arrangements tomorrow and try to earn as many first-level crystal cores as possible for his daughter.
After deciding to give a weapon as a gift, Wen Yubai went into the training room to work on it. He had to think carefully about it and make the weapon look better.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, the two villas were very close to each other. The Wen family heard a car driving back. They looked and saw a military off-road vehicle parked in the parking space next door. They knew that the male owner of the neighbor's house had returned.
So the Wen family dressed up and went out to visit the guests together.
Knowing that Base Captain Fu’s daughter was only seven years old, Zhang Xiying also made some of her specialty snacks while Wen Yubaicui was practicing weapons.
They had just walked to the gate of the Fu family villa when the door was opened. Major Pei greeted Wen Jinsong politely and invited everyone in.
In the living room, besides Base Director Fu, his wife and their daughter, there were only Major Pei and Su Yongquan. These two were not outsiders, and it was obvious that the Fu family had only invited members of the Wen family.
Wen Yubai was very familiar with everyone present, so after exchanging pleasantries, she generously took out the gift: "We don't know what gift to give as a guest. This is a weapon I have recently refined. Take a look and see if there is anything suitable. If you have any requirements, I can help you modify it."
Wen Yubai put the things on the coffee table as he spoke.
Su Yongquan immediately walked over with shining eyes, picked up a heavy sword and said, "I was just thinking of asking you to customize a handy sword."
And Captain Fu picked up the small sleeve arrow with great interest. The sleeve arrow was made very delicately. He asked Wen Yubai, "Xiao Wen, this is for Professor Ye."
"Yes, Professor Ye told me about the hidden arrows, and I thought about it and improved it. And this..."
As Wen Yubai spoke, he picked up an inconspicuous long sword and pulled a mechanism. The long sword immediately turned into a metal belt. He then handed it to Professor Ye and said, "Professor Ye, carry this with you. When you need it, just press the switch and it will turn into a sword."
Wen Yubai became familiar with Professor Ye on the road, and Professor Ye gave her the impression of being a relatively independent person.
Professor Ye was rescued to Base No. 7 after the end of the world. Although she was unable to activate her superpowers, Colonel Lin said that Professor Ye, who had always been obsessed with academics, actually asked someone to teach her swordsmanship, so Wen Yubai specially prepared these two weapons for her.
Sure enough, Professor Ye couldn't let go of these two weapons. After repeatedly operating the sword and belt several times, he couldn't help but buckle the sword and belt around his waist.
"You need to practice before you can wear the hidden arrow, otherwise you might hurt yourself." Seeing that Professor Ye was eager to take the hidden arrow again, Base Captain Fu immediately stopped her.
Wen Yubai equipped the sleeve arrows with two short arrows, which could be recovered, so he could train freely.
"This belt sword is nice. Xiaowen, please get me one too." Base Captain Fu said.
This was the easiest thing to do. Wen Yubai immediately picked up a long sword and in less than a minute he had trained himself to make a relatively rough belt-shaped long sword.
Major Pei actually already had two weapons that were specially tempered for him by Wen Yubai, but these were gifts brought by the Wen family when they visited, so he chose a long sword.
"Sister, don't I have one? I want a sword that I can wear on my waist like my mother." Fu Xiangli snuggled up to Wen Yubai and acted coquettishly with him.
Fu Xiangli was a little shy at first, but Wen Yubai gave her snacks and amused her on the way, and gradually they became familiar with each other.
However, what the little girl admired about Wen Yubai was her superb skill of killing zombies with flying knives, which the little girl thought was so cool and she really wanted to learn it.
