Finally, at Mu Sicheng's strong request, Bai Liu handed over the badge matter to them to handle.

The highlight of this year is weapon transformation.

The weapon modification engineer that Charles introduced to them had a strange appearance, with unkempt hair, and his medium-length hair was carelessly clumped into clumps by some kind of black engine oil, hanging casually next to his messy beard. His face was too dirty to tell his age.

The place where they modified their weapons was a very remote one in the game, a bit like a car warehouse. The walls were covered with large and small knifes, cross drills, saws, and all kinds of strange-shaped modification tools and semi-finished products. The air was filled with unpleasant smells of smoke and gasoline.

There was a huge iron furnace burning fiercely on the ground, and inside it was a furnace of bubbling magma. The reformer pulled down the welding mask on his head, used a long hook to clamp a weapon that was so burned that its original shape could not be seen, and immersed it in the magma.

"Sizzle——" Long black smoke came out of the magma.

Two seconds later, the engineer pulled out the hook, and the weapon on it was empty - it was obviously melted in the magma.

"Tsk." The transformation engineer snorted unhappily, "Who sent me a skill weapon with such a low melting point? It's gone after just one dip!"

The apprentice beside him looked at the pot of magma with tears in his eyes, jumping up and down anxiously: "...Master, you should at least measure the melting point of the weapon before putting it in the pot! How are we going to get the weapon out of the pot now!"

"If you can't lift it up, forget it." The modifier threw the long hook aside carelessly and shouted angrily, "It can't even withstand the slurry boiled by my Samadhi True Fire. This weapon has no value in modification! It's useless!"

Mu Ke and the others couldn't help but look at the pot of bubbling magma. They couldn't help swallowing and tightening their weapons.

The remodeler, who was wearing a worker's suit from the 1980s and 1990s and a thick felt apron, tossed his greasy hair behind his head, propped a flashing welding gun on the wall, and turned to glance at Bai Liu and the others: "You are the ones who want to remodel?"

Charles suppressed his desire to leave immediately and nodded modestly: "It's them."

"Bai Liu, this is the best weapon modifier in the game - General Hua Gan."

Hua Gan hid a pair of iron-hook eyes between his dirty hair and face, and swept them around fiercely. He raised his arms and hooked the gloves from Bai Liu's hands before anyone could react.

"Is this your skill weapon?" Although General Hua Gan was asking Bai Liu, he did not even glance at Bai Liu. Instead, he skillfully took out a pen-shaped focusing magnifier from the drawer and put it on his left eye. In his other hand, he held a sharp knife and scratched the surface of the glove without hesitation!

A hole was immediately poked in the glove.

Mu Sicheng couldn't help but yell at him, "Hey! Don't move around!"

Hua Ganjiang turned a deaf ear and cut faster and faster. He took off Bai Liu's gloves in just a few strokes, then twirled a needle with thread out of his messy hair, licked it twice, and sewed it upwards.

After a few seconds, the wallet became much smaller. Hua Gan threw the wallet to Bai Liu and wiped his hands with a towel: "Try again."

Bai Liu took the wallet, put it on his hand, and raised his eyebrows: "It fits much better than before."

The leather curled inwards, contracting at the knuckles, and the tail of the glove extended out to wrap the wrist nicely - it was much more comfortable to wear than the simple modification Charles had given him.

"You are indeed the best remodeler." Bai Liu praised from the bottom of his heart.

Charles took off his hat, bowed, and stepped back with a smile: "Then I will trouble you, Mr. Hua Ganjiang."

General Hua Gan waved his hand indifferently, his perfunctory attitude was obvious from his words.

After Charles left, the topic of weapon modification began. The burly modification engineer became assertive again: "My skill is this kind of furnace fire, called Samadhi True Fire."

The apprentice beside him corrected him quietly: "——It's called dissolved slurry, Master."

Hua Ganjiang hit him on the back of the head in annoyance: "You are the only one who knows how to talk nonsense. I said it's called Samadhi True Fire, so it's called Samadhi True Fire! Is it okay that I just like Samadhi True Fire?!"

Apprentice: “…Okay.”

"Very good. In my opinion, skill transformation is divided into two parts. The first part is simple shaping. The shape I just made is the shaping. After shaping, if you are satisfied, you can put it into the furnace to freeze it, and then forge it."

General Hua Gan said solemnly: "Only the skill weapons that do not disintegrate after being frozen can continue to maintain this specific form as your skill weapons for you to use in the game."

"But between freezing and forging, you can add a lot of rare items to it to increase the attributes of your weapon - such as attack attributes."

General Hua Gan glanced at the pair of gloves in Bai Liu's hands and said, "For example, this pair of gloves can be molded with a layer of metal satin and a layer of green goat sheepskin embedded inside. The defense value can be increased by about 2,700."

"But correspondingly, the weight of the gloves will become 120kg, which is equivalent to you having to carry a 200-kg man at all times."

Bai Liu: "...That's still not the case."

General Hua Gan continued, "So the forging process requires you to make choices based on your own situation, whether to add or not, and what to add. Charles has paid for your forging fees, and you can use any of my materials as you like."

After saying that, General Hua Gan stretched out his hand to Bai Liu and said, "Give me the gloves. They have passed the magma."

Bai Liu readily took it off and asked, "What if it fails and dissolves in the magma like it did just now?"

"Skill weapons are derivatives of desire. The purer the desire, the higher the potential of the derived weapon, and the stronger the power after being tempered by fire."

Hua Gan put his gloves on the long hook and said without looking back: "Only low-grade skill weapons will dissolve. In my case, you will have to bear the consequences of such a situation yourself."

Bai Liu whispered: "If I give you the wallet, will you give me everything you have, even your soul, to help me forge a skill weapon?"

"You are my customer. As long as your weapon can hold up, I will naturally make a weapon that satisfies you."

Bai Liu curled her lips slightly.

Having said that, Hua Gan without hesitation sank Bai Liu's pair of worn-out gloves into the shiny hot lava.

“Sizzle, sizzle—”

There was a long and loud burning sound coming from the magma, and I could clearly see several banknotes in the wallet being burned.

Mu Ke, Mu Sicheng, Liu Jiayi, and Tang Erda turned their gazes towards Bai Liu: "..."

Liu Jiayi calmly reminded: "Did you forget to take something out just now?"

Bai Liu then pretended to remember at the right time and apologized with a guilt-free smile: "I'm sorry, I just forgot to take out your banknotes."

This guy definitely did it on purpose!!

Mu Sicheng gritted his teeth and was about to go for Bai Liu, but was stopped by Tang Er. Liu Jiayi covered her face and refused to look, while Mu Ke stared blankly at the huge pot of bright red magma.

The red pot that had swallowed his wallet was quietly reflected in Bai Liu's dark and dull pupils. The smoke from the money rising from the surface of the pot was like the smell of a soul burnt by desire.

His Soul Note is also inside.

The process of being tempered has a strange sense of evaporation. The excess emotions in the body are drained out like water, and then injected with more vivid, boiling, and throbbing desires.

In the twisting heat waves and roiling magma, his soul was burned away by the flames to remove excess impurities, turning into a more pure body of human desires.

Hua Gan bent his wrist to pick up the hook, and when he saw the glove at the end of the hook, he suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Liu who was sitting beside him, with an expression of unconcealable astonishment on his face.

The apprentice beside him stared with his eyes wide open, unable to stop looking stupid: "...Master, Master, how could this glove...become like this?"

The gloves that were originally damaged and peeling are now as clean as new. Tight and smooth black leather wraps every inch of the inner layer of the gloves. There is a slightly shiny metal wristband at the bottom of the wrist, and a huge groove with a six-pointed star pattern of a werewolf's eye on the back of the hand, inside which is filled with magma flowing as gorgeously as blood.

The moment the gloves were lifted, less than one third of the magma remained in the pot.

The apprentice had been with General Hua Gan for so long, but this was the first time he saw the forging process of swallowing magma into his skill weapon. He stuttered, "Master, isn't magma your skill weapon? Why can it be swallowed?!"

Hua Gan held his apprentice behind him, thrust his hook in front of Bai Liu, and shouted, "What did you do?!"

He had sensed something was wrong.

It is forbidden to use offensive skills in the game hall. In addition, General Hua Gan's own skills are extremely overbearing, so he is not too wary of Bai Liu and his team.

But he never expected that Bai Liu would be so reckless as to set a trap for him when he was transforming his crucial skill and weapon!

Bai Liu stood up slowly, took the gloves off the hooks and put them on his hands. The gloves that had just been taken out of the magma were slightly warm, but the threads were not scalded at all, and there was no sign of melting.

It seemed that this high-temperature magma was completely powerless against the weapons derived from Bai Liu's desires.

"Soul Coin is also a kind of currency." Bai Liu pulled out a brand new soul coin from the inner layer of his gloves and clamped it between his index finger and middle finger.

The banknote clearly showed General Hua Gan's angry face.

Bai Liu smiled: "Just now, Mr. Hua Ganjiang completed the transaction with me the moment he took my wallet."

Hua Ganjiang's chest rose and fell violently. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and spat at Bai Liu: "I have never seen such a greedy skill weapon. Sooner or later, you will be devoured by your own desires!"

"Maybe that day will come." Bai Liu did not deny it. He smiled and continued to approach General Hua. He grasped the hook of General Hua with his glove and forcefully pressed General Hua down on the chair, then leaned over and looked down at him.

"But before that, Mr. Hua Ganjiang, can you tell me - Mr. Deer Hunter President, what kind of mission did you get that made a proud weapon modification engineer who only wanted to serve people within the guild bow down and fawn on me and modify my weapons?"

Bai Liu opened his eyelids and took a look at the trembling apprentice who was being controlled by Mu Sicheng's claws holding his throat. "You can lie, but I believe that a good master would not want to see his apprentice bear the consequences of lying for him. What do you think?"

General Hua Gan's pupils suddenly shrank.

In an instant, the positions of deer hunter and hunted deer are reversed.
