"Forget it, I don't have a grandson as useless as you," Lin Shen said, feigning disdain.
He knew what trick Wei Wufu had used, but he couldn't figure out what it was exactly. Trying to pry it out would be useless; he wouldn't succeed, so there was no need to make a fool of himself.
"Stop your damn babbling with me. If you have the guts, try to ring it. If you succeed, I'll admit I'm your grandson. If you don't have the guts and can't ring it, then stop bullshitting with me here," Qi Tianfu cursed, pointing at Lin Shen's nose.
Just as Lin Shen was about to retort, he heard Wei Wufu, who had been sitting there like an old Buddha in meditation, suddenly speak. "Whether you can ring it or not, you'll know if you try."
Qi Tianfu and Lin Shen couldn't help but look at Wei Wufu. Qi Tianfu frowned, and Lin Shen also felt strange in his heart.
What does Wei Wufu mean by suddenly saying that? Others might not see it, but I know very well that he definitely tampered with it. But listening to his tone, is he not planning to tamper with it anymore? That doesn't make sense! Lin Shen felt something was fishy.
He didn't think that because he had said a word just now to help him out, Wei Wufu would be so grateful as to let him ring that Alloy Egg.
With Wei Wufu's strength, even if he hadn't helped him out, Qi Tianfu couldn't do anything to him. If they really fought, the one who would suffer would definitely be Qi Tianfu.
For a moment, Lin Shen didn't understand if Wei Wufu's words had any deeper meaning, or if he simply wanted to swindle him out of some money.
"Just now I said he cheated, and you said it was because my skill, character, and luck were bad. Now that he has opened his mouth and let you try, why don't you try one and show me? If you don't dare to try, that's fine too. As long as you admit that what you said just now was bullshit and call me Lord Fu, I will be magnanimous today and let you off the hook," Qi Tianfu provoked Lin Shen with his words.
He felt that the reason Wei Wufu said that was definitely because he wanted to swindle Lin Shen's money, so he added another brick.
Qi Tianfu himself was swindled, and he was so angry he couldn't sleep. If Lin Shen was also swindled, then he would instantly feel like the world was vast and his whole life had been elevated and brightened. Money wasn't important; the key was that Lin Shen couldn't have it easy.
"It's just ring toss, I'll toss it then." Lin Shen said as he walked to the box, took out a hundred yuan and put it in, and counted out ten rings for himself.
Lin Shen wasn't provoked by Qi Tianfu's taunts. He just felt that this Wei Wufu was really strange. Setting up a stall here today was probably not just for making money; it seemed like he was targeting him or Qi Tianfu. He wanted to see what Wei Wufu was up to.
"Is ten rings enough? If you don't have money, just say so, Lord Fu will pay for you," Qi Tianfu said with a pout.
"Enough or not, you'll know after you toss it." Lin Shen said as he directly threw one of the rings in his hand towards the top of Wei Wufu's head.
He hadn't played for so many years, and his technique was obviously rusty. This ring missed completely.
"Xiao Wuzi, I won't comment on your character, but your technique is really bad!" Qi Tianfu was so happy his mouth couldn't close.
"I'm giving you face. You just threw at least a hundred rings, right? If I hit it with just one, wouldn't that make you look very incompetent?" Lin Shen said as he threw rings. While talking, he threw two more out, but they still missed completely.
"I don't need anyone to give me face. If you have the ability, hit it. Whoever the hell doesn't hit it is a grandson," Qi Tianfu snorted coldly.
"Xiao Fuzi, you're really a ruthless person. You're even cursing yourself when you're ruthless." Lin Shen was amused by Qi Tianfu's words. He casually threw a ring out and was about to say something when he paused.
The ring landed on the Alloy Egg. The ring hit the wall of the egg, bounced off, and then fell down, landing firmly on top of Wei Wufu's head, ringing the Alloy Egg.
Qi Tianfu's face turned black, and the flabby flesh on his face trembled with anger. He jumped three feet high and pointed at Lin Shen and Wei Wufu with a trembling finger, cursing angrily, "You shameless Lin Shen, this is another trap you set for me, isn't it? This guy is someone you found to swindle me, right?"
Before Lin Shen could say anything, Wei Wufu had already stood up, took the Alloy Egg off his head, and threw it to Lin Shen. While packing his things, he said, "You hit it. The Alloy Egg is yours, and I'll go with you."
"Good, you really are in cahoots. Xiao Wuzi, Xiao Wuzi, you're getting more and more shameless. How can you even use such a dirty trick?" Qi Tianfu's face was extremely ugly, and he looked like he was about to fight Lin Shen to the death.
Lin Shen felt inexplicable and didn't understand what Wei Wufu meant. Why did he have to follow him just because he rang an Alloy Egg?
"No, Old Brother Wei, what do you mean by this? If you're reluctant to part with this Alloy Egg, I'll give it back to you."
Wei Wufu finished packing his things, carried the large bag on his back, and said expressionlessly, "The prize is me and the Alloy Egg. Since you hit it, I naturally have to go with you."
Lin Shen understood, frowned, and said nothing.
Now it seemed that Wei Wufu setting up this stall was aimed at him.
"You want to leave? It's not that easy." Qi Tianfu's muscles rippled, and a mysterious steel-like substance seeped from the skin all over his body. In a moment, it transformed into a thick steel shell that enveloped his entire body, bursting his clothes.
Qi Tianfu, like a steel tank, blocked Wei Wufu's path. His steel-clad fist directly smashed towards Wei Wufu's chest, while he cursed angrily, "Playing fair, Lord Fu admits defeat if I lose. Playing dirty, Lord Fu will kill you."
The giant steel fist instantly reached Wei Wufu, but Wei Wufu seemed not to see it at all, sticking out his chest and colliding with it.
The onlookers gasped in surprise. With Qi Tianfu's steel fist smashing down, they feared it would punch a large hole in Wei Wufu's chest.
The next second, something unexpected happened.
Qi Tianfu's steel fist heavily struck Wei Wufu's chest, but it failed to smash through it, or even stop Wei Wufu's steps.
There was only a loud clang of metal colliding. Qi Tianfu screamed and retreated, covering the hand that had struck Wei Wufu with his other hand. He stumbled back several steps and plopped down on the ground.
The steel shell on his fist was cracked, and blood was continuously seeping out. His five fingers were still trembling uncontrollably, unable to even clench into a fist. His finger bones were likely either broken or fractured.
"Lin Shen, you're something else. You found an Alloy Grade to mess with me. My Qi Family is not done with you over this," Qi Tianfu endured the pain in his hand, struggled to his feet, and glared fiercely at Lin Shen.
"He is not from my Lin Family, and I didn't ask him to mess with you. Believe it or not," Lin Shen explained, then turned and left.
Wei Wufu followed, carrying the large bag. As he passed by Qi Tianfu, he said, "My name is Wei Wufu. If you're not convinced, come find me."
With that, Wei Wufu walked away without looking back.
"Wei Wufu?" Qi Tianfu couldn't help but be stunned.
Although he didn't know Wei Wufu, he had heard about the Recruitment Assembly producing an Alloy Gene Mutator. However, he never expected that the person setting up a street stall would be Wei Wufu, the Alloy Gene Mutator from the Recruitment Assembly.
Yesterday, Qi Tianfu had heard that someone from his family had specifically gone to find Wei Wufu, hoping he would join the Qi Family, but he was refused.
Before the Qi Family went, people from the Wang Family had already gone, but they were also refused.
He heard that the Wang Family people had even fought with Wei Wufu, wanting to subdue him with strength. However, with just one punch, the Wang Family's Alloy Gene Mutator had his alloy shell shattered and didn't dare to fight again, retreating in a sorry state.
The people from the Qi Family who went originally had some ideas, but seeing the sorry state of the Wang Family people, they only invited Wei Wufu to join the Qi Family. After being refused, they left and didn't dare to make a move.
The Qi Family estimated that Wei Wufu should be a top-tier Alloy Gene Mutator, with the hardness of his Alloy Body being at least nineteen or higher.
Gene Mutators compete on who is harder. If the hardness isn't enough, they are just trash. Even within the same Alloy Grade, the difference can be significant.
Such a person had no need to cooperate with Lin Shen to set a trap for him, Qi Tianfu. Qi Tianfu knew his own limitations. He knew that if a top-tier Alloy Gene Mutator wanted to deal with him, there was no need for such trouble.
Could it be... that Wei Wufu... was really taken by Lin Shen... Qi Tianfu felt a faint regret. If he hadn't insisted on Lin Shen trying to get him, if he had persisted a little longer, perhaps it would have been him, Qi Tianfu, who had taken Wei Wufu!
The surrounding onlookers were even more amazed by Lin Shen's good luck. He had only spent forty yuan and managed to get an Alloy Egg plus an Alloy Gene Mutator.
