Liangmin County's Showoff King, Part Two
"Sister Youya, did he forge the Abyss-Patterned Evil-Binding Nail Case? Is he the gifted Artifact Refiner you mentioned?"
Feng Qinglan looked at Xiao Youya and asked, then added, "But Artifact Refiner of this level is not enough to negotiate with us."
"It's him."
Xiao Youya nodded and continued with a smile, "Back then, you told me that heroes were as numerous as carp crossing a river, and that Tianbei Base City was incredibly glorious. But he can not only forge level 5 hidden weapons, but also level 6 Gold Fire Blast Gun. Moreover, he's only 18 years old this year. I don't believe there's any prodigy in Tianbei Base City who can surpass him. At this age and with such extraordinary skills, we should be able to negotiate, right?"
"???"
"What? He can forge a level 6 quality Gold Fire Blast Gun?"
"How is this possible?"
As Xiao Youya finished speaking, not only was Feng Qinglan slightly startled, but the two middle-aged men beside her also looked at Cao Fengqi with astonishment.
The Spark Guild also possessed the forging blueprints for the Gold Fire Blast Gun, and naturally knew the difficulty of forging such a sophisticated level 6 quality weapon.
It's safe to say that even within their Spark, there are no more than five people capable of forging such a weapon.
Can this 18-year-old boy before me be forged?
The group of extraordinary individuals from Liangmin County around him also looked at Cao Fengqi with some disbelief.
Is this the strength of the strongest 'swords, spears, and cannons' in Liangmin County?
While they were struggling to obtain level 6 equipment, he was already able to craft it himself?
"Hehe!"
Cao Fengqi smiled slightly at the surprised looks on everyone's faces, and with a flick of his wrist, he produced a Gold Fire Blast Gun, saying leisurely, "Unfortunately, I'm just a support Artifact Refiner."
"..."
"..."
Upon hearing his words, Feng Qinglan raised an eyebrow. This little guy was responding to what she had said earlier.
"Did you practice for a long time before forging this Gold Fire Blast Gun? How long does it take to complete the forging?"
The middle-aged man holding the staff asked in disbelief, glancing at Feng Qinglan, "I remember Qingxuan needs three days, right?"
Finally, he looked at Cao Fengqi and added, "Also, young brother, what level are you at the Mystic Artificer level in forging?"
"Yes, Third Uncle, my brother can forge the Gold Fire Blast Gun in just three days."
Feng Qinglan nodded slightly, her gaze also fixed on the young man ahead.
My third uncle asked a question: Was the forging of this Gold Fire Blast Gun the result of a long period of practice?
This is a crucial issue, because if a Mystic Artificer spends a long time forging and practicing the forging of a certain weapon, even if his extraordinary skills are somewhat low, he will still be able to create it.
"Um?"
Cao Fengqi raised an eyebrow upon hearing their words.
His eyes flickered, and instead of answering the middle-aged man's question, he looked at the woman named Feng Qinglan and feigned amazement, saying, "Your brother was able to forge Gold Fire Blast Gun in just three days. That's incredible!"
"That's natural."
Feng Qinglan smiled slightly upon hearing his words, and said with great pride to her brother, "My brother's forging skills, apart from those of the Smelter, rank among the top three in our Spark, and he is a renowned prodigy in the entire Tianbei Base City. Your ability to forge the Gold Fire Blast Gun is already extraordinary, and it is enough to prove that your skills and talent are extremely strong."
"I can't. I can't."
Cao Fengqi grinned as he answered, and with a flick of his hand, another Gold Fire Blast Gun appeared in his hand.
This Gold Fire Blast Gun was commissioned by Xiao Youxiu yesterday.
He turned it around and handed it to Xiao Youxiu with a smile.
"Ah! What's this?"
Xiao Youxiu stared at the Gold Fire Blast Gun handed to him, slightly stunned, then exclaimed with shining eyes, "Holy crap, Godfather, the Gold Fire Blast Gun I asked you to make for me yesterday is finished today?"
"You're amazing!"
He was indeed somewhat shocked.
According to Feng Qinglan, her brother's forging skills were among the best in Spark, and he was a well-known prodigy in Tianbei Base City. So what about her adoptive father?
Even in the glorious Tianbei Base City, they're still top-tier?
"I'm not that impressive; it's this girl's older brother who's truly remarkable. His indomitable spirit despite his disability is something I deeply admire!"
Cao Fengqi shook his head and slowly uttered.
"???"
"???"
"Um?"
Everyone around him was slightly taken aback when they heard his words.
What's the meaning?
Disabled but determined?
They were somewhat bewildered. Was it because Feng Qinglan's brother had the hand speed of a disabled person that he only managed to forge the Gold Fire Blast Gun in three days?
"I..."
A hint of surprise flashed in Feng Qinglan's beautiful eyes, but her expression changed, and she said coldly with a dark face, "My brother is not disabled."
"It's alright, it's alright. I don't discriminate against people with disabilities."
Cao Fengqi shook his head at her and pointed to his father beside him. "Putting everything else aside, my father is disabled. Your brother is disabled, but I will still respect him."
"???"
"???"
This next sentence made everyone almost lose their composure.
This... this...
Cao Jiancheng's lips twitched as he watched his son's actions.
You think you can show off by sacrificing your dad?
Good, good, good, having you is my blessing!
"This kid?"
Feng Qinglan looked at him, her chest heaving slightly, and gritted her teeth as she reiterated, "My brother isn't disabled! He's perfectly healthy!!"
"..."
Cao Fengqi, seeing her potential, feigned realization. "Oh, sorry, sorry, I thought the prodigy of Tianbei Base City would be very strong, but I didn't expect her to be so weak!"
"Ugh, it's all my fault for this damned Artifact Refiner profession!!"
After he finished speaking, he muttered another curse.
"..."
"..."
Everyone looked at him and fell silent for a moment. Now they understood completely!
Feng Qinglan's expression changed repeatedly as she listened, and she naturally realized that this kid was doing it on purpose.
She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
She initially said she was Artifact Refiner and Beast Shepherd herder, which is a bit of a shame, but now...
She suddenly got so angry that her grandmother felt pain from holding it in.
Xiao Youya, standing in front, twitched her lips as she looked at Cao Fengqi and glared at him.
Sure enough, this kid is lecherous, shameless, and loves to show off; he never suffers a loss!
Cao Fengqi glanced at Feng Qinglan and chuckled inwardly.
Still look down on yourself?
He noticed the look in Sister Youya's eyes and said with a smile, "Sister Youya, I'm going to Spark purely for poverty alleviation. I really need to have a good talk with them and see their sincerity."
"..."
Poverty alleviation?
Xiao Youya was somewhat speechless, but after thinking about his forging skills, she realized that even if he went to the government, he would be highly regarded.
She looked at Feng Qinglan seriously. "Qinglan, Fengqi Qi is a bit... well, young and impetuous, don't mind him, but his forging skills are top-notch even in Tianbei Base City, and his talent is unparalleled. He intends to join Spark with me, but Spark Guild needs to give him due attention."
