" Big Xiong, Big Xiong! Huh? Why did the door just open like that? Where is everyone?"
Qian Duoduo came to see Jiang Ziliu again, but when he opened the workshop door, he found that it was open and hadn't been closed at all.
The entire workshop was empty, devoid of the weapons, equipment, and various tools used for casting that had once been there.
They've all disappeared!
This place looked like a scene of massive ransacking, so horrific that even rats would weep.
Qian Duoduo was initially startled, thinking that something Jiang Ziliu.
But then he realized something was wrong; the scene resembled that of an extremely stingy person after moving.
From what he knew, Jiang Ziliu always had a thrifty and hardworking air about him.
Soon, he was drawn to a piece of paper pasted on the wall.
"Brother Qian, please forgive my abrupt departure. When I am able in the future, I will surely repay your kindness in protecting me today!"
The meaning is simple: Jiang Ziliu has not forgotten Qian Duoduo's help and will repay him in the future.
Qian Duoduo felt a mix of anger, helplessness, and a touch of relief.
All the energy, money, and resources he's invested in this period have been wasted; at least in the short term, there will be no results.
If something were to happen to Jiang Ziliu, all his efforts would have been in vain, although it's pretty much the case now anyway.
This means that Jiang Ziliu, as a potential investment target, can now be eliminated.
"Wait, could this guy's identity also be an alias?"
Suddenly, he thought of Jiang Ziliu's hidden, shrouded strength and couldn't help but ask a question.
He felt that he had likely hit the nail on the head.
The name Xiong Chengqi is likely also fake.
He knew that the treasure of a supreme being had fallen in the Scallion Ridge area, which had sparked a struggle between the Human Race and the infiltrated alien forces.
The entire process was extremely bloody and horrific.
Jiang Ziliu's casting techniques contain profound secrets and theories of dwarf casting, which means that Jiang Ziliu's dwarf knowledge inheritance is likely closely related to the changes in the Scallion Ridge area.
Many powerful forces were vying for that supreme treasure, but none of them succeeded.
After a battle, it mysteriously disappeared in the Scallion Ridge area.
No one knows who has acquired such a treasure.
Qian Duoduo had some doubts: Could it be that the guy using the alias Xiong Chengqi had obtained that supreme treasure?
He immediately dismissed this conjecture.
Because, judging from the timeline, the treasure was still in the Scallion Ridge area during the period when Jiang Ziliu came over.
What Xiong Chengqi obtained may only be a portion of the dwarven knowledge inheritance.
Qian Duoduo didn't particularly crave this. Many people could receive profound knowledge, but very few could use it to achieve success.
When the dwarves passed the craft down to ordinary people, they only taught them basic forging techniques.
The guy who went by the alias Xiong Chengqi had truly mastered that technology and even incorporated the casting techniques that were openly disseminated by the Human Race.
This ability means that Jiang Ziliu is a future weapons master. In fact, given his tendency to hide his abilities, this " Xiong Chengqi " is already a master-level figure in the field of forging.
The other party's potential makes him willing to invest.
The other party has now disappeared, leaving Qian Duoduo at a loss.
The only thing that gave him some comfort was that the kid was a grateful person, and perhaps this mysterious and unpredictable favor would help him someday in the future.
The Qian Clan excels at long-term investments!
Qian Duoduo knew that Jiang Ziliu had left, but unfortunately he didn't even know the guy's real name or identity.
He threw the paper away, but as soon as it hit the ground, the back of it was revealed.
Qian Duoduo glanced at it casually, and to his surprise, he discovered that there was a number written on it.
This number looks as if it was scribbled down casually or written down while doing accounting.
But Qian Duoduo knew that Jiang Ziliu was an extremely self-disciplined person and would not usually engage in such scribbling.
He was as methodical and meticulous as any other weapon refiner when he did things.
This only shows that this number has a special meaning.
"This guy, even after he leaves, he still wants me to solve a riddle?"
Qian Duoduo muttered to himself, knowing there must be some secret hidden in these numbers, a code that only he could guess.
The deciphering of this coded message is likely related to the communication between the two individuals.
Qian Duoduo pondered for a while, then finally remembered something, quickly took out a book about weapon crafting, and started flipping through the pages.
Finally, he successfully obtained a passage:
The gift for you is ten meters underground in the middle of the backyard.
"What did this guy leave me?"
Qian Duoduo was curious; he really wanted to know what good things Jiang Ziliu had left for him.
He summoned one of his tamed beasts, a pangolin-type beast that could burrow underground, which was one of his means of survival.
The Qian Clan family values their ability to protect themselves above all else.
Not long after the pangolin burrowed underground, it used its tail to wrap around a huge box and bring it out of the ground.
Qian Duo opened the box and saw what Jiang Ziliu had left for him.
Three inner armor pieces!
One piece of B+ grade armor usable at Bronze Rank, one piece of A+ Grade usable at Silver Rank, and one piece of S Grade armor usable at Gold Rank.
These three pieces of armor are absolutely perfect for their level, belonging to the top-tier type of armor, and are among the best in their class.
Qian Duoduo has a good eye for quality. Just by looking at these three items, she knew that they were crafted by " Xiong Chengqi " and were high-quality products made with care.
He understood; this kid had indeed been hiding his true abilities.
Jiang Ziliu's actual ability to forge weapons and equipment was many times more profound than he knew; he could even forge S Grade equipment usable by a Gold Rank Beastmaster.
It could be said that these three suits of armor alone are enough to repay the favor he has done for protecting Jiang Ziliu over the past few years.
Qian Duoduo was somewhat moved, but also a little regretful that such a talented and young equipment manufacturing master had slipped away right before his eyes!
He also understood that if they never met again, Jiang Ziliu wouldn't owe him anything.
This is a question that Jiang Ziliu has only recently thought of.
That is, this is a world of high martial arts, so it's hard to say whether forces similar to causality exist.
What if causal forces exist?
Therefore, Jiang Ziliu tries his best to owe others as little as possible, so as not to trigger the forces of cause and effect in the dark and affect his future growth.
While Qian Duoduo was opening the box, Jiang Ziliu had already left the Martial King Base Cluster and was heading towards his hometown.
