The instruments in the testing room began emitting a steady alarm. Old Mrs. Lu glanced to the side. "It's somewhat radioactive, but the danger level isn't high. That being the case, this probably isn't a Sub-class Stone."
"Why do you say that?" Xu Huo asked.
"Sub-class Stones come in all kinds, but ores that can contaminate their surroundings aren't listed among the raw materials for items, nor are they classified as Sub-class Stones. They're all grouped under contaminated ores." Fang Jie explained on her behalf. "You can still make items from this kind of ore, but its contamination is hard to control. The person affected by prolonged use might end up being the holder. Besides, the Game Government expressly forbids using contaminated ores to make items."
In other words, it was an unsuitable material for making items. Since it was contaminated, most Artificers wouldn't risk taking it on.
"Still, if you use materials like this well, you can make a pretty lethal item." Old Mrs. Lu remarked, "Items are made to protect other people, are they?"
They were all tools for killing. It just depended on how the holder used them.
"With so many strange and varied ores in the game, it's hard to guarantee that items made from them won't be dangerous." To Xu Huo, radioactive ores were even more troublesome than ordinary germs or toxins.
"That's a fair point." Old Mrs. Lu nevertheless seemed eager to give it a try. She proposed keeping the ore as well, and offered Xu Huo two items as collateral. If she couldn't return the ore or failed to make an item, the collateral would belong to him.
"Wouldn't that affect your health?" Xu Huo asked.
"No, no. This old woman's got a long life ahead of her." The old woman waved a
