Previously.
Lu Xiu had gathered a pile of biological materials from Variant Monsters on the front lines and given them to the head of the Smithy, intending to have him design another piece of equipment, whether armor or a weapon.
But there was one condition: it had to include materials produced in Monster Hunter's New World.
At the time, the Smithy head had said he would give it some thought.
Lu Xiu had not paid it any further mind.
It seemed he had finally come up with a design.
Incidentally.
No one had cleared Monster Hunter yet.
The equipment had been completed first instead.
"What kind of equipment?"
Lu Xiu rose to her feet and looked at the Smithy head before her.
"Please come with me."
The Smithy head led Lu Xiu to the workshop area on the second floor of Astera. Then, behind the counter, he spread out a sheet of parchment and began explaining. "I plan to use Ink Crow Feathers as the core material, supplemented by materials from the Thousand-Pound Tiger and Khorne Monster, plus the great horns of a New World Nergigante, to make a pair of Dual Blades."
Lu Xiu lowered her head to look at the parchment, but she did not really understand it. "—Dual Blades, right? Just list out the materials."
"All right."
The Smithy head immediately placed the materials on the table. There was all manner of strange and unusual stuff.
Lu Xiu activated [Deconstruction] and began adding the main and supplementary materials in the order the Smithy head had specified.
Very soon.

It really worked.
Lu Xiu glanced at the Smithy head, then pressed confirm.
