This time, Lin Yu actually saw familiar faces again: a refined-looking boy wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Wang He, and a haughty-looking young man holding a long spear, Bai Long.
Lin Yu looked around and found there were no empty seats, so he joined the queue behind the two people.
The two were unaware and continued their enthusiastic conversation.
Wang He laughed and said, "I really didn't expect the gang leader to be so generous, giving each of the gang's core members a sum of money to improve their strength."
"Even I, a newcomer to the Skyfire Gang, received a million. The gang leader is truly wise and powerful!"
Bai Long nodded, a rare smile on his face: "I got 1.5 million. With this money, I can improve myself before entering the secret realm."
"Speaking of which, we have to thank Lin Yu. The gang leader seems to be quite wary of him. This time, he's boosting the strength of all of us because he's eager to deal with him."
Wang He shook his head: "You're wrong about that. Lin Yu is morally corrupt and arrogant. It's only right and justified for the gang leader to deal with him!"
Immediately, he sneered, "I wonder if that guy wants to go into the deserted island's secret realm. If I really run into him there, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"
Lin Yu stood behind the two of them, watching them expressionlessly.
To say you'd teach him a lesson right in front of him is truly a case of ignorance breeds fearlessness!
He patted the two of them on the shoulder lightly: "Who were you just saying you were going to teach a lesson to?"
The two were startled, feeling that the voice seemed familiar, and then they stiffly turned their heads:
"Lin Yu! Damn it!"
How could it be him? What's he doing here? Did he hear everything?
The two men looked grim, especially Wang He, whose face was deathly pale.
Not long ago, he was tricked by Lin Yu and beaten up. He wanted to take revenge, but only a few days later, Lin Yu became someone he had to look up to, and even a single glance from him made him tremble with fear.
Wang He was outwardly fierce but inwardly weak.
"Lin Yu, this is the Item Enhancement Pavilion, don't mess around!"
Lin Yu looked at him expressionlessly.
Wang He immediately backed down: "Lin Yu, to be honest, Song Tianhuo does want to deal with you, but, every wrong has its perpetrator!"
"I have no past grievances or recent feuds with you, so please don't drag me into this."
Lin Yu remained expressionless as he looked at him.
Wang He's legs went weak: "Brother Lin! You're a magnanimous person, just ignore me and let me go!"
He thought of the fate of Zhang Kai and the others, who were beaten and their items were smashed outside this item enhancement pavilion, a truly miserable sight!
He really didn't want to follow in their footsteps, and at this moment, he couldn't care less about dignity.
Beside him, Bailong was even more direct. He lowered his head, grabbed Wang He, and tried to leave. Although he was arrogant and fearless, his strength simply wouldn't allow it.
Lin Yu laughed: "Some people told me to teach me a lesson right in front of me, and then they thought they could just leave?"
The more he looked at the two men, the more displeased he became, especially Wang He, who clearly needed to be taught a lesson.
The two suddenly stopped in their tracks, filled with fear.
Wang He slapped his thigh:
"Brother Lin, look at my memory! We just got some funding from that guy surnamed Song, so we came here specifically to lend you a hand."
Bai Long nodded hastily:
"Brother Lin, if you enhance your skills here, I'll cover all the costs."
The two exchanged glances and reached a tacit understanding. Giving them items? Impossible, that would be tantamount to feeding the enemy. In comparison, giving them enhancements would be more acceptable to them.
They would be very happy if Lin Yu's enhancement failed and the item shattered.
Lin Yu laughed: "That would be so embarrassing!"
Just then, at the front of the group, a young man finished his enhancement, black smoke rising in wisps. With a clang, the mechanical arm ejected a pile of mechanical fragments.
The young man picked up the shards and left in tears.
With a spot available, Lin Yu stepped forward without hesitation, took out the Blue Stone Sword, and put it into the item enhancement machine.
"Hey you, come over here and pay the bill," Lin Yu said, pointing at Wang He.
Wang He's face darkened. You call that being embarrassed?
When it came time to pay, his face darkened even more!
It's a 2-star upgrade to 3-star, and the cost is 1 million! I only have 1 million in total!
Finally, he discussed it with Bai Long, and they each paid 500,000.
The machine chugged and sputtered, sending wisps of white smoke into the air. Before long, the white smoke turned into black smoke.
Lin Yu frowned. The enhancement had failed, but it wasn't a big problem since it wasn't his own money that was being spent.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, the mechanical arm extended and the Qing Shi Sword was downgraded from 2 stars to 1 star.
Wang He quickly offered words of comfort, saying that temporary success or failure was nothing, and that even if they failed once, they would surely succeed later!
I'm secretly overjoyed! Failure is good, failure is good! I can't wait for you to fail!
Lin Yu nodded: "Then let's continue."
He put the bluestone sword back into the machine and gestured for Wang He to pay.
Wang He: "!!!" What the hell!
With tears in his eyes, he paid the remaining 500,000. He cursed inwardly, "This time, I must fail. Once the item is broken, let's see how you strengthen it!"
As if the curse had come true, this time, the machine emitted black smoke again, followed by a crisp "click".
This delighted Wang He and Bai Long! Haha! It's broken! Good riddance!
As the robotic arm delivered the pile of debris, the two were overjoyed, yet their faces were etched with sorrow as they sighed:
"Sigh! I didn't expect it to fail again, Brother Lin, my condolences!"
To their surprise, Lin Yu remained remarkably calm. They were astonished that Lin Yu showed no sadness at all, even though the props were broken.
The next second, a crystal burst forth with dazzling purple light from the pile of fragments. Under the pull of the purple light, the fragments trembled rapidly and then pieced themselves together little by little.
"This!" Bai Long and Wang He were both so shocked that their mouths dropped open, as if they had seen a ghost.
The commotion drew the attention of many onlookers, who then exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap!"
"If a prop breaks, can it be put back together?"
"Is there any hope left?"
Before long, the blue stone sword was restored to its original state, its level remaining at 1 star, with two gems inlaid at the end of the hilt, shining brightly.
Lin Yu grabbed the Qing Shi sword, revealing a bright smile. Holding the get-out-of-jail-free card, he was just that unreasonable!
Then, Lin Yu continued to feed the Qing Shi Sword into the enhancement machine and gestured for Wang He and Bai Long to continue paying.
The two of them: "!!!"
