Chapter 763: Forge Alloy Blades! Head to Ni Xi!

"Good, no problem."

Xu Jingming nodded without much hesitation.

On one hand, the Leng Yuexi sisters had helped him a lot in Myanmar and during his last search for Divine Blood in the wasteland.

On the other hand, it was just a single competition—it wouldn't take up much time.

Besides, there was an SS-class resource to be won.

And if Leng Yuexi won the match, she would take over as president of the Spirit Fox Guild.

In the future, it would be much easier to ask her for help with anything.

And 3% of the Spirit Fox Guild's shares was already a very tempting reward.

"That's great!"

Leng Yuexi's eyes lit up, her face glowing with delight as she asked: "So when will you come over, Jingming?"

"I'll leave early tomorrow, and I should arrive by nine at night," Xu Jingming replied after checking the time.

It was already past four in the afternoon; he still had to return to the real world to forge eighteen SS-class alloy blades.

By the time he finished them all, it would already be the next day.

"Leave tomorrow and arrive only at nine at night?" Leng Yuexi was stunned.

Mo Ben and Ni Xi, the two supercities of Dayangzhou, were only one hundred kilometers apart in straight-line distance.

Even if there was a wasteland between them, Xu Jingming, with his eighth-rank combat power, shouldn't need nearly that long to reach Ni Xi.

"I plan to wander a bit more in the wasteland before coming over," Xu Jingming replied with a smile.

He intended to kill more ferocious beasts in the wasteland first; if Leng Yuexi had no other business by the time he reached Ni Xi, he'd re-enter the wasteland.

Or head straight to the frontlines.

Speaking of which, although Ni Xi was smaller in area than Mo Ben, it faced equally massive beast tide assaults.

The ability points harvested on Ni Xi's frontline battlefield might even exceed those in Mo Ben.

"Wander more in the wasteland?" Leng Yuexi looked at him strangely.

Everyone else feared ferocious beasts and tried to avoid them at all costs—how come you actually enjoy staying in the wasteland?

But fortunately, Leng Yuexi already knew from their time in Myanmar that Xu Jingming loved hunting ferocious beasts.

Surprised as she was, she wasn't overly shocked; she smiled sweetly and said:

"Alright, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the Spirit Fox Guild tomorrow night, to welcome you and wash away your travel dust."

"Mm, see you tomorrow night."

Xu Jingming nodded, then chose to exit the virtual world.

"With this, I now have five eighth-rank combatants."

Leng Yuexi's face beamed with joy after securing Xu Jingming's promise.

She wasn't sure if it was because she saw the glimmer of victory in the competition, or because she could see Xu Jingming again.

Beside her, Leng Yuchan's clear, large eyes swept back and forth over her sister Leng Yuexi.

She silently compared key aspects of herself with her sister, and after a while, murmured softly with confusion:

"Sis may be bigger, but I'm not small either—I'm almost the same height—why does he think I'm a Gao Zhongsheng?"

"Yuchan, what are you muttering about?" Leng Yuexi glanced at her curiously.

"Ah, nothing, nothing—I just got distracted."

Leng Yuchan finally snapped back, sticking out her pink tongue.

"It must be the clothes—I'll change into something else next time, and I'll see if this Xu Jingming dares call me a Gao Zhongsheng again!"

Leng Yuchan had finally noticed the difference between herself and her sister Leng Yuexi.

She secretly looked forward to it.

She looked forward to Xu Jingming's shocked expression when he saw her new outfit after arriving in Ni Xi.

"When that happens, I'll make sure you call me 'Chan-jie' properly!"

Leng Yuchan was completely lost in her own world, her beautiful eyes smiling into crescent moons...

On the other side, Xu Jingming, having exited the virtual world, headed straight for the Equipment Department and described his requirements to the master armorer there.

"How long will it take to forge eighteen SS-class alloy blades?"

Xu Jingming asked.

"Does the vice-director have any special enchantment requirements?" the master armorer asked thoughtfully.

He was a seventh-rank peak master, tall and powerfully built.

"No, the only requirement is sharpness and low air resistance," Xu Jingming shook his head.

His SS-class Doushen Shenlei was already the best enchantment—he didn't need any flashy extras.

"Without enchantments, it's simple—you can pick them up tomorrow morning."

The master armorer replied.

"Good. How much do they cost? I'll transfer the money to you now."

Xu Jingming's account at the Lei Ting Martial Arts Pavilion didn't have many points; he usually paid directly in Blue Star Credits.

"The blades you need aren't large—slightly bigger than daggers."

The SS-class alloy required isn't much either; each blade costs only one billion Blue Star Credits."

"Eighteen blades, so 18 billion Blue Star Credits."

The master armorer replied thoughtfully.

"18 billion Blue Star Credits?"

Xu Jingming's expression froze.

After purchasing the SSS-grade Black Soul Battle Suit last time, his account only had 8.5 billion Blue Star coins left — nowhere near enough to cover the cost.

"An Esper's equipment really gets more expensive with each piece."

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming took out his phone and dialed Ling Shuang's number:

"Hey, Teacher Ling, you got a moment? Transfer 10 billion Blue Star coins to my account."

A few minutes later, Xu Jingming looked at the 18.5 billion balance in his account and decisively transferred 18 billion of it to the Weapon Refining Master.

"I'm heading out now. I'll come by first thing tomorrow morning to pick it up."

"Understood, Deputy Hall Master. Take care on your way."

The Weapon Refining Master bowed slightly, while Xu Jingming simply waved a hand and turned to leave.

Only after Xu Jingming vanished from his senses did he straighten up and murmur with feeling:

"Truly worthy of being the man who has Hall Master Ling Shuang — 10 billion Blue Star coins, just ask and he gets it."

Although he was a Weapon Refining Master, this kind of forging that didn't require enchanting actually didn't earn much money.

Of those 18 billion, most of it was the cost of materials; in the end, he himself pocketed no more than 500 million Blue Star coins.

Nothing like the domineering flair of Xu Jingming, who could call up 10 billion Blue Star coins with a single phone call.

Upon learning that Xu Jingming was about to head to Nisi again, Ling Shuang was extremely proactive that night.

And to repay the kindness of those 10 billion, Xu Jingming also gave it his all, working the fields with great effort.

The next morning, Xu Jingming glanced at Ling Shuang — who was completely naked, still sprawled limply on the bed, her fair, pretty face faintly bearing traces of exhaustion and satisfaction.

He tucked the blanket around her and kissed her forehead before turning to leave.

He first went to the Equipment Department to pick up the newly forged 18 SS-grade alloy blades.

After confirming they worked without issue, he unfurled his Thunder Dragon Wings.

His whole body wreathed in golden lightning, he became a phantom that shot into the high sky, heading straight for the Wilderness Zone.
