The Terrifying Power of the Nation-Protecting Flood Dragon Sky Crossbow, Part 1
"Quite a few good items? Even Transcendent Sequence Rune are being traded."
"There are quite a few level 8 treasures too. It seems many extraordinary individuals are quite lucky."
After acquiring an item that satisfied him, Cao Fengqi looked around and said with some surprise.
"Godfather, our Spark Exchange Meeting is just a small-scale event. The Tianbei Base City Exchange Meeting a month later will be the real treasure trove."
Hearing his words, Xia Yang smiled and said...
"Was the Tianbei Base City Exchange Meeting a grand event?"
He had just heard Captain Liu mention the Tianbei Base City Exchange Meeting, and now, hearing Xia Yang's words, he asked with some curiosity.
"The exchange meeting in Tianbei Base City was organized by the government, and we ten factions participated together."
"Treasures that our Spark Guild doesn't need will be auctioned off."
"At the exchange meeting four months ago, six level 9 weapons appeared, and several level 10 supplies also came up."
Xia Yang said, "That was four months ago. As the strength of the extraordinary individuals grows, there will only be more and more good stuff this time."
"By the way, Godfather, I remember there was a level 9 pet egg at the last exchange meeting."
He added another sentence.
Upon hearing Cao Fengqi's face also showed a look of shock.
"I still can't underestimate these powerful forces. The resources and power they control are far beyond what I can compare to."
"If we can acquire such a powerful weapon as the Nation-Protecting Flood Dragon Sky Crossbow, other major powers will certainly be able to as well."
He thought to himself.
They strolled around until noon, and at Xia Yang's enthusiastic invitation, Cao Fengqi and went inside to have lunch with Xia Liehuo and his group.
"He said he wanted to forge a level 8 weapon in exchange for level 8 metal and level 7 soul, is that right?"
After the meal, watching the departing figures, Xia Liehuo and the others focused their gaze on Xia Yang and spoke.
"Yes."
Xia Yang nodded. "My godfather bought a level 9 forging blueprint, probably to gather the necessary materials."
"Sure, Old Hu just can't forge an 8th-level weapon in time, so we'll give it to him at the highest market price."
Xia Liehuo nodded and looked at Feng Qinglan beside him. "Qinglan, I'm leaving this matter to you. You will liaise with him."
"Huh? I..."
Feng Qinglan opened her mouth, but seeing the gazes of the elders around her, she could only nod. "Okay, Uncle Xia."
"Hehe, Qinglan, try to make contact, don't be so resistant."
Xia Liehuo smiled at her and said, "Go!"
"..."
Feng Qinglan didn't know what to say.
Her parents wouldn't force her to marry someone she didn't like.
But the current situation is no longer something their parents can control.
Because these elders would say... everything for the sake of Spark.
For the sake of a guild with millions of members, for the future of Spark, this has put her in this position.
"Huh?"
When Cao Fengqi arrived Cao Family, he was slightly taken aback when he saw Feng Qinglan appear at his doorstep.
"Trying to set a honey trap again?"
He asked jokingly.
"I..."
A flash of embarrassment and anger crossed Feng Qinglan's face. She took a deep breath and looked at him with a dark expression. "I'm here to deliver forging materials to you. From now on, for every level 8 weapon you help the guild forge, you can receive 7 level 7 souls or equivalent resources."
"Oh? Okay, come in and have a seat."
Cao Fengqi's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he asked, "How many level 8 metals can one level 7 soul be traded for within the guild?"
"Currently, level 8 metal is considered a relatively precious resource; one level 7 soul can be traded for 80 kilograms of level 8 metal."
Feng Qinglan took a deep breath to calm herself down and answered.
Cao Fengqi slightly. Forging an 8th-level weapon means you can exchange it for 560 jin of 8th-level metal.
"If I were to forge five Flood Dragon Crossbow Bolt myself, I would need 3,000 jin of level 8 metal."
"I only have 3 level 7 souls, and I need 7 more. That means I need to forge 7 level 8 weapons."
He did some mental calculations, then looked at Feng Qinglan: "Give me the materials and souls for seven level 8 weapons."
"Sure, Uncle Xia and the others said they can give you the metal materials and souls you need in advance."
Feng Qinglan looked at him and nodded.
"Hmm? Really? Thanks then."
Upon hearing Cao Fengqi raised an eyebrow and a smile appeared on his face.
The Spark Guild clearly wants to win me over, whether it's by giving me the resources I need now or by offering higher forging prices.
He gladly accepted this small favor.
Cao Fengqi explained the resources he needed, and Feng Qinglan quickly had them all delivered.
"If you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact me anytime."
Before leaving, Feng Qinglan paused, looked at him, and said, "I will try my best to meet your requests."
"Anything is acceptable?"
Upon hearing her words, Cao Fengqi sized her up and asked leisurely.
"..."
Feng Qinglan couldn't hold back any longer at his smug look. She bared her teeth and glared at him, saying, "You bastard pervert, you'll be impotent forever!"
"..."
Cao Fengqi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's more like you. I thought you'd been possessed. Feeling good now? Let's go."
As he spoke, he waved to her.
"..."
That kid is really despicable!
Feng Qinglan looked at him, feeling utterly powerless in the face of this guy, and turned away with a dark expression.
"Hehe!"
Cao Fengqi glanced at her swaying figure, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the metal resources in front of him.
"Seven level-eight weapons? With my current extraordinary skills, I should be able to complete them in three days. No rush!"
"First, forge that Nation-Protecting Flood Dragon Sky Crossbow."
He immediately took a bunch of metal materials to his forging room.
"Start!"
The level 8 forging table had just been delivered by his adopted son. He picked up the forging hammer, a serious expression on his face.
"Bang bang bang."
The continuous hammering sounds rang out; the amount of work involved in forging a Nation-Protecting Flood Dragon Sky Crossbow was comparable to forging two or three level 8 weapons.
"Buzz!"
He didn't finish forging it until dawn the next day, from the afternoon until then.
"..."
"This is too imposing! My forging room is almost too small to contain it all."
After forging for fifteen or sixteen hours straight, Cao Fengqi somewhat exhausted, but he looked at the large machine with great enthusiasm.
He had two pieces of Transcendent Source Metal left in his hand, and he took one out.
The Transcendent Source Metal slowly enveloped and devoured it.
