"Is this your vague answer?" Kafka frowned.
"Ugh, so blurry..."
Seeing Zhou Xiao's shameless expression, Kafka clenched her fists, then silently relaxed them after a moment's thought.
She thought of Zhou Xiao's feat of single-handedly defeating the Great Monarch of Annihilation, and the fire in her eyes suddenly subsided.
She remembered this grudge for spreading rumors!
“Next time, just say you don’t know…” Kafka said to Zhou Xiao after calming down.
Zhou Xiao nodded without answering.
A moment later.
Led by Kafka, Zhou Xiao arrived at a weapon shop called Cheese Snow Leopard.
"Cheese Snow Leopard?" Standing under the signboard, Zhou Xiao glanced at the name and muttered it absentmindedly before turning to look at Kafka.
"Are you sure... this is a place that sells weapons?"
"What's the big deal?" Kafka pushed open the door and walked into the shop, with Zhou Xiao following closely behind.
As far as the eye can see, this is a fairly large weapons shop, mainly selling cold weapons and secondarily firearms. With the shop counter as the central axis, the right side is all cold weapons, while the left side is all firearms.
"What would you like to order?"
Hearing the door open, the owner, Cheese, turned around, but his enthusiasm waned upon seeing Kaffa.
"It's you..."
"This is really..." Zhou Xiao raised an eyebrow upon seeing the boss.
The boss in front of them really was a snow leopard standing up, with a very burly upper body and taut muscles, looking like he could kill a bull with one punch.
"What? Not welcome? I'm a big customer, you know... Cheese." Kafka was clearly uninterested in the weapons outside and walked straight to the owner, Cheese.
"What do you want this time? Bullets? Firearms? Or... something else?"
"Ah...no." Kafka shook her head, paused, and said with a slight headache, "Forge me a new sword...just the same parameters as the last one..."
"A knife?" Cheese frowned slightly.
He forged the knife that Kafka used last time, and he knew the composition of the metal material of that long knife well. In order to forge a good knife, he spent a lot of special metals stacked up.
"What's wrong with the knife?"
"Let's just break it off..."
"It broke? Are you sure? That kind of metal can break? You're using something really..." Cheese said, indicating that Kafka doesn't cherish her weapon at all.
“Hey, he broke it…” Kafka pointed at Zhou Xiao beside her; she didn’t really want to hear Cheese’s nagging.
"?"
Zhou Xiao, who was called out, looked completely bewildered.
Cheese then noticed Zhou Xiao and stared at him for a moment.
"You're willing to give him a knife? Your relationship must be more than just casual."
"It's alright!" Kafka, fearing that Zhou Xiao would betray her again, was the first to deny it.
"Enough talk, let's forge it again. The price is negotiable..."
"Hmm...we need to prepare the ingredients," Cheese said slowly.
"Are there materials you can't get on the black market? Just tell me to wait a few days," Kafka asked.
"At least... five days."
"Can."
Kafka finished the transaction and prepared to leave with Zhou Xiao, but Zhou Xiao stopped in his tracks.
"What are you doing?" Kafka asked, slightly puzzled.
"You're done forging, what about me?"
"You?" Kafka raised an eyebrow. "You're going to do that too?"
"Otherwise what? Otherwise, why would I come with you?" Zhou Xiao indicated that he didn't even have a long knife in his hand right now.
"So...do you have money?"
"I don't have any money."
"Why are you forging a knife if you don't have money?" Kafka looked at Zhou Xiao staring at her, as if she had realized something.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're not trying to...go too far, are you? First you broke my sword and didn't even pay me back, and now you want me to spend my money to forge a new one for you???"
Zhou Xiao nodded.
Kafka pouted angrily.
She's not looking for teammates, she's keeping a gigolo!
Kafka sighed, but did not refuse Zhou Xiao's request.
Money is just a number to her, as cold as the number on her wanted poster. If she could use a little money to recruit the combat power that could tear apart the Great Lord of Annihilation into the Star Core Hunter team, it would be a worthwhile deal.
“I’ll forge you... You’ll have to work for me for the next twenty years!” Kafka gave the boss, Cheese, a look, signaling him to take Zhou Xiao to customize the order.
"Two knives?" Cheese stroked his chin, first glancing at Zhou Xiao, then looking at Kafka and asking.
"No..."
Before Kafka could answer, Zhou Xiao interrupted her, then held up his hand to make a "three" shape.
"There are three."
"Three?" Kafka paused for a moment. "Who gets the extra one?"
"Me?"
How many arms do you have?!
"Two, that's just right for dual swords." Zhou Xiao thought that made perfect sense, since it's a dual-sword style, one sword in each hand is just right.
He's lucky he didn't have one in his mouth... otherwise he would have had four.
Kafka: "..."
After feeling helpless, she waved her hand, indicating three rounds.
"Come with me, let's go and customize the materials and usage habits," the owner, Cheese, said.
Since Kafka's last knife was custom-made here, her usage habits and material types are recorded, but Zhou Xiao's are not, so this step has to be done.
Zhou Xiao and Cheese entered the space behind the counter alone. After passing through a not-so-short corridor, they came into view all kinds of metal raw materials, finished products, semi-finished products, and defective products, piled up in the corner. The furnace in the center was quite large and emitted a little residual heat.
What are the material requirements?
Hearing the boss's question, Zhou Xiao thought for a moment and replied, "Any material that can bear my power will do."
“Oh…” Cheese nodded, then rummaged through the leftover scraps of metal from the last time he forged the knife for Kafka and handed them to Zhou Xiao.
"Try it..."
Obviously.
He still couldn't believe that it was Zhou Xiao in front of him who had broken the longsword he had forged.
"Hmm." Zhou Xiao took it and first used the power of the Gale within his body to attach an invisible stream of air to the longsword, which then steadily supported it.
Kafka's longsword was originally able to withstand the Gale Force within him, but now the strength of the Gale Force within him is much weaker than before, so the finished material in his hand is obviously not a big problem.
"Hmm?" the boss, Cheese, uttered a questioning sound, his eyes seeming to say: That's it? That's it?!
Zhou Xiao felt that the material was somewhat familiar. He then switched to the main force in his body, and a scarlet power instantly enveloped his palm and adhered to the metal.
Click—
In less than a second, the metal in his hand seemed to disintegrate internally, cracking open before the boss's eyes and scattering like a balloon exploding...
