Faced with Qin Jiu's series of questions, Meng Qingyin had no answer.
She thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Let's split up. I'll ask someone if they can process the ore, and you go to the chat area to see if there are any tools or props that can open the chain."
Qin Jiu nodded: "This is the only way."
Apart from the players, Meng Qingyin's only friends are two NPCs, Li Tieniu and Li Tiejiang, and a traveling merchant, Achen.
She pondered for a moment and contacted Blacksmith Li first.
Could Blacksmith Li's profession be related to ore processing?
Meng Meng: "Uncle Li, I have [Salt Mine], [Rough Stone], and [Rock Stone] here. Do you know how to process them to make the corresponding products?"
The 23rd generation descendant of the Li family's forging: "Rock? You actually have a rock? Xiao Meng, how did you get this rock?"
Meng Meng: "Uh, I found it in a mine."
The 23rd generation descendant of the Li family's forging technique said: "Xiao Meng, did you know you've unearthed a treasure? This rock essence is truly extraordinary! Its texture is incredibly hard, and whether it's incorporated into weapons or equipment, it can greatly enhance their performance!"
Meng Meng: "But the rock needs to be processed before the essence of the rock can be obtained. I don't know how to process it. Uncle Li, do you know the processing method?"
The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging: "[Smelter Shi Ye], this is my friend, he's an excellent smelter, he's good at smelting all kinds of ores, whether it's salt ore, rough stone, or rock, you can't go wrong with him!"
Meng Qingyin was very surprised: "Thank you, Uncle Li, you really helped me a lot!"
The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging: "Haha, you're welcome. I didn't do anything."
Meng Meng: "Uncle Li, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to add the smelter as my friend!"
The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging: "Good!"
Meng Qingyin followed the business card sent by Li Tiejiang and directly applied to add him as a friend.
Friend verification was passed quickly.
Smelter Shi Ye: "I heard from Brother Li that you have rock?"
Meng Meng: "Yes, in addition to rock, there are also salt mines and rough stones, all of which require your help in smelting."
Smelter Shi Ye: "Brother Li told you the price, right? Since you are Brother Li's niece, I won't make any profit from you. Just give me the cost price directly."
Meng Meng: "Wait a minute, Uncle Li didn't tell me the price, Uncle Shi, could you please tell me the price first?"
Smelter Ishino: "Call me sister. My name sounds like a man's, but I am not a man."
Meng Meng: "Sorry, Sister Shi!"
Smelter Shi Ye: "Salt ore and rough stone are one copper coin per kilogram, and as for rock, five copper coins per kilogram."
Meng Qingyin looked at the price and thought it was not expensive.
Meng Meng: "Okay, then where can I find you? Also, I have another question. [Picture] Can you help me see how to open this chain?"
The picture shows the chain that locks up the pangolin.
After a while, the other side replied: "This chain is an ordinary iron chain, but it is mixed with the essence of rock, so it is stronger than ordinary iron chains. It is also easy to open it, using tools made of rock essence. However... I think these chains have been embedded in the flesh. You'd better take them to the veterinary hospital for treatment."
Meng Qingyin was stunned: "Vet hospital? Can you send me the address?"
Smelter Ishino: "Near Highway 382. [Location] This is my location. You can send the ore here and I'll help you smelt it."
Meng Meng: "Okay, thank you."
After closing the chat, Meng Qingyin looked at Qin Jiu, who happened to be looking over as well, looking frustrated: "I didn't find anything in the chat area."
Meng Qingyin: "I'm taking them to the veterinary hospital now. Go help Chen Leying dig. Remember to dig up more rocks!"
Qin Jiu looked at her blankly: "Is there actually a pet hospital?"
Meng Qingyin: "Don't just stand there, help me carry these three pangolins back to the car!"
As he spoke, he gently picked up the two babies and hurried towards the train.
Qin Jiu came back to his senses and picked up the other one to follow.
After placing the three pangolins on the train, Meng Qingyin turned around and found that the other pangolins had followed.
She said to Zizi, "Zizi, tell them I'm taking these three pangolins for treatment. I'll send them back once they're fully recovered. Let them wait here in peace."
The cub squeaked and danced with its hands to the pangolins. The pangolins understood what it said and stopped moving forward.
Meng Qingyin then reminded Qin Jiu: "Take good care of them."
Qin Jiu nodded: "Don't worry."
Meng Qingyin closed the car door, looked at the map, and drove towards Highway 382.
Fortunately, her map could only display detailed information within 50 kilometers, and Highway 382 was within this range.
If it's beyond this range, it would be really hard to find her.
Three pangolins huddled in the corner. Meng Qingyin fed them some water. They looked at Meng Qingyin with misty eyes, as if they understood human nature.
Meng Qingyin sighed, "Soon I won't have to suffer any more."
The train sped along and soon arrived at Highway 382.
There is a small pet hospital next to the highway, which looks old and dilapidated.
As soon as the train stopped, Meng Qingyin jumped off and walked into the hospital holding two pangolins.
There was no one in the hall, it was cold and deserted.
"Is anyone there?" Meng Qingyin shouted.
After a while, a doctor in a white coat came out from the side room: "What's wrong?"
Meng Qingyin: "The chain is embedded in the pangolin's hind limb. Can it be removed?"
The doctor's expression became serious and he immediately went forward to check.
After a moment, he said in a stern tone, "How do you take care of your pet? How could such a serious condition occur? Surgery is necessary now!"
The cub bared his teeth and glared at the doctor: "Don't be mean to your master!"
Meng Qingyin comforted the cub without further explanation, "Then arrange the surgery now. I have another one in the car."
As he said this, he handed the two pangolins in his arms to the doctor. With the doctor's puzzled look, he went back to the car and brought back another pangolin.
The doctor made a phone call and rushed into the operating room.
Seeing the "In Surgery" light come on, Meng Qingyin finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the bench holding her baby.
The cub was still very angry: "Master, that's a bad guy, he was mean to you! When he heals the pangolin, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"
Meng Qingyin stroked its fur: "Don't be angry anymore. When he comes out, I'll help you scold him!"
Zizi: "Okay! Let's scold him together!"
Meng Qingyin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Only then did she have time to send a message to Chen Leying and Qin Jiu: "The pangolin has been sent to the pet hospital and is receiving treatment."
