The night was as dark as ink. Inside the house, a dim light bulb struggled feebly, trying to dispel the thick anxiety in the study.
Shen Qiqi frowned, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the document that gave her a headache, the roughness of the paper seemed to bring a bit of irritation.
The light cast flickering shadows on her face, making her look even more worried at the moment. She looked like a trapped little animal, exuding the aura of "I'm very annoyed".
With a light "click", the study door was pushed open and Lu Qing walked in cautiously.
He walked lightly, fearing to disturb Shen Qiqi who was in "thinker" mode.
Seeing her frown, his heart tightened, as if an invisible big hand was clutching his heart, making him feel sour and distressed.
He walked to Shen Qiqi and gently took her into his arms. A warmth instantly dispelled the low pressure around her, "Qiqi, don't worry, there will always be a way."
Shen Qiqi buried her head in Lu Qing's arms and took a deep breath. She raised her head, and the anxiety in her eyes was gradually replaced by determination. "Brother Qing, I want to try using other materials instead."
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "Isn't this... too risky? If it fails, won't all our previous efforts be in vain?"
Shen Qiqi knew that Lu Qing was worried about her, but she felt that if she continued with the current situation, the problem might not be solved until the end of time.
She raised her head, looked directly into Lu Qing's eyes, and said firmly, "Brother Qing, how do you know if you don't try? We can't always be intimidated by difficulties!"
Lu Qing looked at the light in Shen Qiqi's eyes. It was confidence, courage, and her unique charm.
He knew that he couldn't refuse her at all.
However, he still couldn't help but worry. He took a deep breath and said, "Qiqi, I know what you think and I support you, but if..."
"No ifs!" Shen Qiqi interrupted Lu Qing directly. She stood up from her chair, put her hands on the table, and leaned forward slightly, full of momentum. "The greater the risk, the greater the reward! Fortune and wealth are sought in danger! Otherwise, do you think I'm a vegetarian? You think this little difficulty can stump me? No way!"
Looking at her "I'm the best in the world" look, Lu Qing's mouth curled up slightly. This is the Shen Qiqi he knows!
Although he was still a little worried, he believed that his wife was definitely not an ordinary woman!
He sighed and compromised, "Okay, I support you in whatever you want to do, but you must pay attention to safety!"
Shen Qiqi gave Lu Qing a big smile, like a kitten that had stolen a fish. She took Lu Qing's arm and said coquettishly, "Brother Qing, you are so nice!"
Lu Qing smiled helplessly, but felt sweet in his heart.
At this moment, Shen Qiqi suddenly turned her head and looked out the window. A strange light flashed in her eyes, and she murmured to herself, "Right... maybe we can start from there..."
Shen Qiqi transformed herself into an "information dealer" and began her journey to find information.
She visited every shop and workshop in the town that had some connections, but the results were disappointing.
Every boss shook his head and said the same thing: "I've never seen it, I've never heard of it." The three consecutive rejections made Shen Qiqi's head buzz. She felt like a headless fly, bumping around everywhere.
The biting cold wind blew through the street, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound, as if mocking her futility.
The lights on the roadside were dim, stretching Shen Qiqi's figure out long and making her look particularly lonely.
She rubbed her red, frozen hands and exhaled a puff of white air. This horrible weather was even worse than the magic attacks in her hometown in winter!
Lu Qing followed behind from a distance, watching Shen Qiqi running around, feeling mixed emotions.
He wanted to help her share some of the burden, but he was powerless in this matter. This feeling was like eating something very sour, so sour that it softened his teeth.
Just when Shen Qiqi was about to give up, she passed by an abandoned old warehouse.
The door of the warehouse was ajar, making a creaking sound, as if calling her in to take a look.
Shen Qiqi hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the curiosity and walked in.
The warehouse was filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items, dusty and a musty smell in the air.
Shen Qiqi covered her nose and moved carefully through it. Suddenly, her eyes lit up!
Under a pile of broken machine parts, she found something that looked like a substitute for a special material!
"Great! I am indeed the chosen one!" Shen Qiqi was ecstatic and quickly picked up a piece to observe carefully. The touch and luster were very similar to the description in the information.
The flame of hope burned brightly in her heart, illuminating the entire dim warehouse.
She excitedly grabbed a few pieces of material and ran out, eager to go back and test them.
When she ran to the door, she suddenly bumped into a warm embrace, "Oh my God!" She looked up and saw that it was Lu Qing.
"Why don't you look at the road when you walk!" There was a hint of blame in Lu Qing's tone, but more of concern.
Shen Qiqi raised the materials in her hand and said mysteriously, "Brother Qing, guess what I found?" Lu Qing looked at the dirty thing in Shen Qiqi's hand, confused, "What is it? A precious gem?"
Shen Qiqi chuckled, leaned close to Lu Qing's ear mysteriously, and whispered, "This is our secret weapon for a comeback!" After that, she pulled Lu Qing and ran home. She looked so rushed that if someone didn't know her, they would think she had picked up a gold ingot.
After returning home, Shen Qiqi slammed the materials on the table and said, "Dangdangdang! It's time to witness a miracle!" Lu Qing looked at her high spirits and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. This girl always has a way to make people feel better.
