Chapter 197 Unavoidable
Lu Jiu glanced at the time. It was already past six thirty in the evening. "It's already six thirty. I thought it was four or five o'clock."
As he was speaking, a breeze with a fragrance blew over. There were so many flowers blooming nearby that even the breeze was filled with fragrance.
Shen Jufeng put away his weapon. He had killed more than twenty groups of wild monsters today, nearly double the number in the previous summer and autumn. "Let's go back to the city. There are a lot of wild monsters lately. Let's continue tomorrow."
Lu Jiu felt the fragrant breeze and nodded, "Let's go, we're sure to encounter more monsters on the way back."
After returning to the city-state, Yong Lin said goodbye to everyone and went to the forging shop. The other teammates already had wings, so there was no rush to customize them.
This was his first time coming here to have NPC customization.
The apprentice NPCs put the newly made equipment on the shelves. Recently, many people came here to sell materials, and they made a lot of weapons.
Yong Lin came to the cashier and said, "Hello."
The store's cashier NPC is different from the NPC hired by residents to rent a store. It looks more intelligent. "Hello sir, what kind of equipment do you need to buy?"
Yong Lin took out the two gray sparrow feathers he had obtained and said, "This is the material for making wings. Can I have it custom-made here?"
He was still a little worried when he said that, even though Lu Jiu had said that she had already made arrangements for him.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Yong Lin?" The NPC remembered that the city lord had told him that a gentleman with gray bird feathers would come to customize equipment later.
Yong Lin nodded, "Yes, that's me."
The NPC took the gray sparrow feather he handed over and said, "Okay, I've received your materials. Since they are bronze-grade, I'll charge you a processing fee of 3 silver coins."
Yong Lin simply handed over 3 silver coins. 3 silver coins were nothing. Nowadays, a wing was sold for at least 15 silver coins.
The price varies depending on the equipment level, mainly because the flight speed varies depending on the wing equipment level.
After the NPC received the silver coins, the gray bird feather disappeared from his hand, and the item had been passed to the store manager.
"Based on our current workload, you'll need to wait about three days for your custom wings. We can't guarantee they'll be successfully made. If they fail, we'll refund half of the processing fee."
Not every material can be successfully made, but the store manager is extremely talented and the success rate is relatively high.
Yong Lin knew the rules. "I understand. That's troublesome."
Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered that the money he had saved was enough for him to buy the weapon he wanted. Thinking of this, he turned around again and said, "By the way, is the Galaxy Whip still available? I want to buy that weapon."
The NPC nodded immediately. "It's still available. Silver level Galaxy Whip. Price: 369 silver coins. Want to buy it now?"
Yong Lin placed his hand on the NPC's hand and said, "Buy it now."
He had been wanting this long whip for a long time. He had killed a lot of wild monsters in the past two days and had already saved up 369 silver coins, even if all the rewards were to be shared among four people.
The NPC received the money, and the silver-gray whip appeared in his hand. "Please keep the weapon you requested."
Yong Lin got the weapon and stroked it lovingly.
He felt that the shop could produce such a good quality whip, which must have been ordered by Lu Jiu, the city lord. You know, when he looked at the weapon, the whip was only that long.
After getting the silver weapon, all he had to do next was wait for the wings to be successfully made. Then he wouldn't have to hold Lu Jiu and the others back, and he could also deal more damage.

Zhuang Yun's Anxin store has been particularly busy these past two days, with many residents coming here to shop just for the cool black bear props.
On the first day of the store opening, someone bought this prop and used it in practice. Even though the height was only 2 meters, they could move around much faster than running by themselves.
It is much easier to deal with wild monsters with wings.
However, professional players have to go out to clear the jungle every day and don’t have time to keep an eye on it all the time, and the store’s opening hours are 10 am.
In spring they leave the city early, so it's impossible to wait until after ten o'clock.
For this purpose, we can only find people who are free in the city to go to the store and buy it immediately when they see this prop on the shelf.
An An is now getting better at making black bear props. If he is good, he can make two in a day, and if he is not good enough, he can make one in two days.
Zhuang Yun had gone out early that day. After getting up, An An ate the breakfast that his father had prepared in advance, packed up a little and went out.
It was just past ten o'clock, and the store at home had just opened. There were already quite a few people standing on the first floor, most of whom were ordinary residents.
She only took a quick look outside and then ran to the other side of the street to find Tang Yi.
Tang Yi sat at the stall with his grandfather. The table was filled with various braised dishes, and the air was filled with a strange fragrance.
When he saw An An coming, his eyes lit up, "An An, aren't you going to your own store?"
He remembered that the first thing An An did every day when she got up these days was to go to the family shop.
When Old Man Zeng saw An An, he also greeted her: "It's An An, come and sit down."
Then he asked her to sit on the seat behind the stall, and Tang Yi also ran over to sit with her.
After An An sat down, he began to explain why he came. "There are a lot of people in the store, and many uncles and aunts asked me when I can sell black bears."
Especially the families of professional residents, they would ask her questions whenever they caught her.
Tang Yi expressed his understanding. Although An An wanted to give him a black bear doll, he still refused. It is not easy to make money nowadays. This prop can be sold for dozens of silver coins in the store.
"Then let's go out and collect today, so we don't have to see those adults."
It is much more interesting to go out and collect in the spring.
An An thought about the scenery outside the city and nodded, "Okay, I also want to go to the lake to take a look, but my father said there are wild monsters there that may appear at any time, so he told me not to go."
Tang Yi naturally knew what wild monster was there, that was the big blue bull. Many professional residents had fought there several times recently.
"It's okay, we can just watch from a distance."
Seeing that the two children had made up their minds, Old Man Zeng said, "I'll watch over here. Pick more glutinous rice so I can make rice cakes for you."
The two children stood up and held hands. Tang Yi nodded when he heard his grandfather's words, "I understand. Let's go then."
Old man Zeng waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Tang Yi took An An by the hand and ran out of the city, saying as he ran: "Glutinous rice is actually very easy to find. It is a little different from other rice. I will teach you how to recognize it later."
Since the spring, An An has collected less food in order to make various backpacks and props, so she is still unclear about this.
"Okay, then I'll give you the best beef in exchange for rice cakes. You can't refuse."
The most delicious meat in her family now is blue beef. Even the restaurant doesn’t sell much of it every day. It is a good meat that can often increase the total attribute value of qi and blood.
When Tang Yi heard about beef, he swallowed reflexively, "Okay, then Grandpa and I will make more rice cakes. The beef you gave me is too precious."
The two children talked and laughed as they left the city. Even though An An had seen it many times, he was still shocked by the scenery before him.
As a result, after just a few glances, an auntie next to me asked, "Is this Boss An An? Do you have any black bear dolls for sale recently?"
Forget it, it seems I can’t escape this greeting no matter where I go.
