Mu Huoyue finally figured out what this little guy was, and the detected illustration information popped up on the investigation bracelet at the same time.

[Name]: Forging Hammer Soldier

【Attribute】：Steel

[Racial Level]: High-level warrior

[Growth Level]: Growth Stage 9

[Talent Core]: Virtual Alchemy (Steel C-level)

[Race Introduction]: A steel-type extraordinary creature found in the S-level secret realm "Heaven and Earth Furnace". It has a special forging ability "Virtual Alchemy" that can perfectly forge the blueprints conceived in the mind into real objects. The main body is associated with the forging hammer. If the forging hammer is lost, the skills cannot be used and the player will fall into depression for a long time.

[Normal implicit energy value]: 87896P

Mu Huoyue looked at the information in the illustration, and then looked at the forging hammer soldier that had returned to its original state.

It was no wonder she didn't recognize him at first. Even though she was a well-educated top student, she had never seen a forging soldier running naked without armor...

And not only is it accompanied by the forging hammer, it turns out that the armor of the forging hammer soldier is also a part of the hammer? If taken away, they will turn into naked, wrinkled humanoid creatures...

"Little waiter!" An anxious voice came from the crowd behind him.

The tall girl struggled to push through the crowd and finally caught up with her pet. She looked at the forging hammer soldier who had returned to his original form, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her gaze to the thief trapped in the shadow.

The girl went up and kicked the man, saying, "Who sent you?"

The man who stole the forging hammer lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing this, she sneered, "I know it even without you telling me, Han Qi, right? Only he could think of such a stupid trick as stealing the servant's forging hammer."

"Kuwa!" The forging hammer soldier also swung his hammer angrily.

The thief didn't say anything, but the rat in his pocket cried out in fear when it heard the name, and confessed its mistake.

The man made a "tsk" sound, and the rat shuddered instantly. It buried its head deep in its pocket, and its exposed butt trembled.

Hearing the commotion here, the guards who were maintaining the order of the Harvest Festival quickly came over.

After briefly understanding the situation, the guard took the forging hammer thief away.

The tall girl turned around and looked at the person who helped her stop the thief, thanking him repeatedly.

"Thank you, it's a relief that someone stopped him here. Although it was a stupid trick, it will definitely affect the servant's condition if he can't find the forging hammer for a long time, uh..."

Her voice paused as she realized the person in front of her was someone she knew.

"…Are you Mu Shuyue?"

Mu Chuyue smiled slightly. Coincidentally, she also knew the beastmaster who forged the hammer soldier.

"Han Ruoyun."

This star player who appeared in the national qualifying rounds and also appeared in the Kumasi inventory video, finally finished 6th in the qualifying round.

Han Ruoyun was not involved in the accident of the Angry Rock Black Tortoise, and had never been encountered in the secret realm of the deserted island before, but Mu Chuyue remembered her. She was the heir to a mysterious blacksmith family in Xizhou, and her performance in the competition was also excellent.

The other party obviously also remembered the person who won first place in the national qualifying competition at the same time.

"I see. He's a card-tooth soldier from your monarch race, right? With that level of proficiency in shadow stealth, he'll be caught even if he runs out of the crowd. This guy is doomed to fail today."

Han Ruoyun suddenly realized and looked at Mu Shuyue with a smile, "Anyway, thank you for helping the young servant get the forging hammer back."

"Kuwawa!" The hammer-forging soldier stood the hammer beside him and saluted solemnly to the man who saved his hammer.

There is also the invisible and powerful pet in the shadows.

That little look made Mu Chuyue couldn't help laughing, and she smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's just a piece of cake."

To express her gratitude, Han Ruoyun offered to be Mu Chuyue's guide and take her to visit the interesting activities of the Harvest Festival.

Mu Chuyue readily agreed. With the introduction of a local, her trip would be much easier.

She looked at the girl next to her who was wearing overalls and goggles.

Han Ruoyun is very tall. Mu Chuyue is 172cm tall, half a head shorter than her. It is estimated that she is over 180cm tall, almost catching up with Ellen's height.

Different from her cool image in the video, Han Ruoyun is actually a warm and talkative person, and she quickly became familiar with Mu Chuyue.

"Is Hiiragi here to participate in the contract trial?" Han Ruoyun asked.

Many of the young beastmasters who came to the Harvest Festival during this period came for the contract trial.

Mu Xiuyue nodded. If nothing unexpected happened, Han Ruoyun would also participate. She had just seen the heir of this blacksmith family on the flyer.

Han Ruoyun's betting odds are among the best, and she is one of the seeded players to win the championship.

"That's great, come join me in the pre-trial duel." Han Ruoyun suggested.

Mu Shuyue was confused, "Preliminary duel?"

She didn't see any such event listed in the flyer.

"It's probably a small competition organized by local contestants from Xizhou. They'll have a preliminary duel first, and then let the top-ranked contestants participate in the contract trial. This way, they can select the best talents first and go to the secret realm to contract a stronger pet."

Han Ruoyun explained, "Although in recent years it has become a place where the children of the aristocratic families of Xizhou compete with each other for splendor."

"If you have a letter of recommendation, you can go to the contract trial without participating in this preliminary duel, but you can see the strength of some competitors first."

"...For example, the person who planned to take away the forging hammer?" Mu Liuyue asked curiously.

Because the forging hammer was successfully recovered and no one else was hurt or had any property lost, the forging hammer thief was taken away by the guards. It is estimated that he will only be detained for a few days and will be released after the Harvest Festival is over.

Han Ruoyun seemed to be unconcerned about it, and even knew who was behind the attack.

"That's right, for example, my good-for-nothing cousin Han Qi." Han Ruoyun shrugged.

"There are always some stupid and bad young people in the family inheritance, just like this guy."

"You were jealous of my talent and ability, and you shouted that a woman couldn't possibly be the heir. You threatened to beat me hard in a duel and make me a laughing stock for all the families in Xizhou."

"I was very alert during this period, always on guard against him doing something bad, but this is the result."

Han Ruoyun laughed, as if she was talking about something funny. "I have been planning for half a year. I hired someone to steal the servant's forging hammer the day before the duel... With this kind of brain, I can't even figure out how to forge iron. I guess I've basically said goodbye to the level of fighting for power and profit."

She touched her chin and said with emotion: "Fortunately, the Han family has me in this generation, otherwise how can we compete with other families?"

Mu Liuyue chuckled when he heard this.

She liked Han Ruoyun's aura that destiny was in her hands.

"Kuwawa!" The forging hammer soldier nodded in agreement, thinking that what the beastmaster said made a lot of sense.

The two talked as they walked, visiting various areas of the Harvest Festival according to Han Ruoyun's introduction.

There are all kinds of shops at the fair, not only those from Xizhou, but also related products from other well-known companies that will not miss this once-in-three-years event. They have set up promotional shops here and invited celebrity beastmasters to promote their products.

Mu Huoyue even saw the products of ZH Zenith Super Control Technology.

It seems like chemical fertilizers that inhibit the growth of crops.

Mu Huoyue fell into deep thought in front of the store. Should he sigh that ZH Zenith Super Control's industrial line has covered from home bedding to agricultural fertilizers, or should he complain that there are fertilizers that inhibit growth?

As if she saw her confusion, Han Ruoyun also looked at the Zenith Super Control shop and said, "Ah, that's basically a special fertilizer used exclusively in Xizhou."

"Hiiragi, you don't know what the specific effect of [Harvest Blessing] is, right?"

"It is said that the protection left by the withered and flourishing spirit deer brings good weather and abundant harvests to the earth every year, but this is actually not accurate."

"The reason why the Harvest Festival is held every three years is because the blessing of the withered and flourishing spirit deer also has a [three-year] cycle. It is not a good harvest every year, but a good harvest in units of three years. The general order is... [good harvest] [bad harvest] [average harvest]."

"Is it because we want to preserve the fertility of the soil?" Mu Liuyue asked.

She doesn't know much about agricultural planting, but she still has some basic common sense.

Such intensive farming methods will quickly consume soil fertility. Even with the advent of fertilizers in modern agriculture, yields have also increased a lot.

In order to ease the consumption of land, cross-planting of different varieties or leaving the land fallow to allow it to recover is usually adopted.

Even with the blessing of the harvest from the withered and flourishing spirit deer, bumper harvests every year cannot be maintained for long. Such consumption will turn Xizhou into an over-used dead land in a hundred years at most.

"That's right."

Han Ruoyun nodded. "[Harvest Blessing] is actually more like a protective prophecy for the next three years. The protection of the withered and flourishing spirit deer will prevent Xizhou from encountering large-scale natural disasters and also allow farmers to understand the approximate harvest situation in the next three years and make reserve arrangements in advance."

"But even so, after using extraordinary resources to cultivate new varieties of crops, the energy of the land of Xizhou is also being consumed rapidly."

“The withered and flourishing spirit deer will not restrict farmers from planting anything, and farmers will only plant crops that can feed everyone. This should be an unspoken agreement between humans and the guardian deer, but the new varieties of crops have broken this agreement.”

Han Ruoyun paused, "...In recent years, the development speed of both agricultural tools and crop varieties has been so fast that even the withered and prosperous spirit deer can't keep up."

Mu Shuyue thought thoughtfully: "That's why we need fertilizer that "inhibits growth"..."

"Appropriately reducing the yield of crops and the energy consumed per unit can actually increase the yield rate of high-quality products. This is the effect of "inhibiting fertilizer", which has been very popular in Xizhou in recent years. ”

Han Ruoyun couldn't help but sigh, "Come to think of it, Zenith Super Control Technology is a foreign company, right? They can make products that meet the local needs of Xizhou. They really know how to do business."

Mu Chuyue couldn't help but recall the dividend figures on Zenith Super Control Technology Company's financial report last year. She was embarrassed to say that she probably also had a share of the money they earned.

After a few brief sighs, the two continued walking forward.

On the first day in Xizhou, Han Ruoyun took her to visit most of the items in the Harvest Festival and tasted various special foods. Mu Chuyue bought a bunch of souvenirs and had a great time.

She agreed to participate in tomorrow's preliminary match with Han Ruoyun.

Anyway, the contract trial will not start until two days later, and Mu Liuyue has nothing to do anyway, so it would be interesting to watch the showdown between the younger generation of the Xizhou families.

What's more, she was somewhat curious about the inheritance and training methods of the blacksmith family.
