Chapter 129 See you again if fate allows.
Lu Cheng ran to the corner of the wall and shut himself in.
Qin Jiu had originally planned to have a suitable weapon custom-made for herself, but after hearing the conversation between Li the blacksmith and Lu Cheng, she immediately gave up.
It's too expensive. Even with a 20% discount, she still can't afford it.
Chen Leying, who had initially been somewhat tempted, has now regained her composure.
Unexpectedly, Li the blacksmith looked at the two of them and asked, "What kind of weapons do you two want?"
Qin Jiu shook her head repeatedly in fright: "No, no need, Uncle Li, let's just forget about it."
Li the blacksmith still smiled and said, "You two are Xiao Meng's friends, so I'll make them for you for free."
Qin Jiu was stunned, looking at Chen Leying with some interest, and asking for her opinion with her eyes.
Chen Leying shook her head: "No need to trouble yourself. I will buy it if I need it in the future."
Although no one knows what the connection is between Li the blacksmith and Meng Qingyin, Li the blacksmith said that because of Meng Qingyin.
She didn't want to owe anyone favors; if something could be solved with money, there was no need to incur debts of gratitude.
Seeing that she refused, Qin Jiu also politely declined.
Li the blacksmith didn't say anything more.
After being quiet for a while, Lu Cheng came over again: "Uncle Li, let's add each other as friends first. When I've saved up enough money, can you help me forge a weapon?"
Li the blacksmith agreed, and the two became friends.
Lu Cheng left satisfied.
Meng Qingyin suddenly remembered something and asked Li the blacksmith, "Uncle Li, when I came here last time, wasn't Li Family Village near Highway 503? Why does it seem to be in a different location this time?"
Li the blacksmith replied casually, "That's right. Our location changes every now and then. Last time you came, we were indeed near Highway 503, but this time we've moved to near Highway 982."
Meng Qingyin unconsciously repeated, "Position...change?"
Li the blacksmith nodded: "Yes, things have changed on a village-by-village basis, and it has always been like this."
Meng Qingyin understood a little.
So they weren't going in circles, but rather... the NPC's location changed?
That's true. If the NPC's location doesn't change, on this road where you can't go back, players might only encounter a certain NPC once in their entire lives.
Judging from the current situation, Uncle Li can manufacture weapons, so he should be considered an important NPC, and he certainly can't just appear once in the player's life.
What she didn't expect was that the changes would occur on a village-by-village basis.
It feels a bit unbelievable.
Qin Jiu glanced at the time and said goodbye. She still had to go to the factory to sort sanitary napkins and couldn't delay any longer.
Chen Leying also followed suit and asked to leave.
Seeing that the two were about to leave, Meng Qingyin was also about to leave.
But seeing the reluctance in Li the blacksmith's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say goodbye.
Let's spend a little more time with Uncle Li. We can go enforce the law in the afternoon. Besides, given her speed, the target mileage is no problem.
After seeing Qin Jiu and Chen Leying off, Meng Qingyin chatted with Li the blacksmith.
It wasn't until 11 a.m. that Li the blacksmith invited her to have lunch at his home.
Meng Qingyin agreed: "Okay, but please make something simple."
As Li the blacksmith spoke, he walked into the kitchen, and Meng Qingyin followed him in to help.
She's not a great cook, but she's excellent at washing and chopping vegetables.
The elderly and the young worked for two hours to prepare another exceptionally sumptuous meal.
Meng Qingyin discovered that Li the blacksmith still made her braised noodles with green beans.
Her nose tingled with emotion.
It was a kind of care from an elder that I had never felt before.
Li the blacksmith didn't notice her odd behavior. He only knew that she liked braised pork rib noodles, so he deliberately pushed the plate towards her, saying, "Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Meng Qingyin gave a soft "hmm" and lowered her head to eat.
After lunch, no matter how reluctant he was, Li the blacksmith knew it was time for her to leave.
He composed himself and smiled as he saw Meng Qingyin off.
...
In the following days, Meng Qingyin accepted several more urgent escort missions from the escort agency, all of which were for NPCs.
I don't know what's going on lately, but suddenly there are so many urgent tasks.
The heavy sword has been forged, weighing 100 jin (50 kg). Meng Qingyin found it difficult to even hold it, let alone perform any movements with it.
She wasn't in a hurry; she started training gradually, beginning with handling a knife.
That evening, Meng Qingyin was surprised to find that she hadn't received any messages from the management group for a long time.
She opened the management group and noticed that the animals hadn't spoken recently; the group was unusually quiet.
Meng Qingyin was reading when a new message popped up.
[White Fox: @Pheasant, you're getting a new leader.]
[Pheasant: Changing leadership? What does that mean?]
[White Fox: This means 007 is being transferred to another region.]
[Pheasant: Oh, I thought it was something serious, turns out 007 is leaving, what does that have to do with me?]
[Hyena: Heh, you won't say that in a few days.]
[Pheasant: It's just a change of leadership. No matter who it is, I'm still the one doing the work. What does it have to do with me?]
[Azure Wolf: How naive.]
[Pheasant: So what news have you found out this time? Is the new leader difficult to get along with?]
[Pheasant: But I think 007 is difficult enough to get along with. His voice is as cold as if it's been dipped in ice, and he's usually very aloof. Is there any leader more difficult to get along with?]
[White Fox: Just wait and see.]
Upon seeing this, Meng Qingyin paused.
Is the pheasant going to change leaders?
She and [Pheasant] are colleagues, does that mean she will also have to change leaders?
Where will 007 be transferred to?
007 was the system of District 30. It left, so who is the new system?
Can the system be changed repeatedly?
Meng Qingyin lay in bed, experiencing a rare bout of insomnia.
She didn't get up until after eight o'clock the next morning, and there were faint dark circles under her eyes.
Seeing this, Xue Tongzi asked with concern, "Master, did you not sleep well last night?"
Meng Qingyin yawned: "I'm having a bit of insomnia."
Snow Child crouched down and looked up at her: "Is something bothering you? You can confide in me, Master."
Meng Qingyin reached out and gently patted its head, smiling as she said, "It's nothing."
The baby nuzzled her arm, a silent comfort, a rare moment of tenderness.
After a while, Meng Qingyin got up and washed up.
If she uses 3 more valid enforcement points today, her Enforcer Shop can be upgraded to level 2.
After finishing breakfast, Meng Qingyin couldn't wait to set off to enforce the law.
But 007 released an announcement at this time.
[Dear players, our time together will be coming to an end for now. 007 will soon be transferred to another region. We'll meet again someday.]
This announcement is available in both text and audio versions.
In the voice recording, 007's voice remained cold, but Meng Qingyin seemed to detect a hint of sorrow at parting in its tone.
