Chapter 320: 320 The Second Best

"Hmm..."

Hearing the red-haired Bureau Chief's words, the smile on Li Ang's face suddenly stiffened slightly, and then he nodded with some depression:

"Before Senior Auntie Ai Ma was prepared to perish together with the Goddess of Wealth, in order to enhance her own power, the Goddess of Wealth directly swallowed my pendant, and even Senior Peony's... *cough*... cursed silver was taken away by her."

"Bureau Chief, now I am full of auxiliary anomalous objects and have nothing that can directly kill the target. Next time you assign me a mission, I guess I can only carry a sniper rifle to work."

"That won't happen. I let that crocodile bring you down just to solve this problem... Walk forward, and remember not to stay too far away from me!"

After looking at the gray sky above, the red-haired Bureau Chief whistled upward, startling the flock of crows that kept circling above, and then, staring at their flight path, she held Auntie Ai Ma and walked toward the depths of the Dead Realm.

"Li Ang, although you lost the Holy Spirit Pendant this time, your harvest is actually not small. Whether it's the Lord of Desire and Dreams' fork, the Goddess of Wealth's tail, or that green bead that trapped Auntie Ai Ma, they are all good things that are not inferior to the Holy Spirit Pendant."

The red-haired Bureau Chief, who stepped onto the road of no return, said to Li Ang behind her while staring at the Death-Reporting Crows above her head without blinking:

"However, the few things you got are all a bit troublesome. The Lord of Desire and Dreams is not dead yet, so you can't use his weapon even if it's broken. The Goddess of Wealth's snake tail can only be considered a material and also cannot be used directly."

"The remaining bead doesn't have these problems, but that thing is for the Goddess of Wealth to use for herself, and the consumption is a bit too much for you. People without forty or fifty points of Li Ang value can't exert much effect at all."

"Yes..."

Li Ang, who was following the red-haired Bureau Chief, nodded and responded:

"That bead is called 【Ghostly Green Dream】, an anomalous object modified from the 【Paradise】 shattered by the God of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. It can temporarily support a green world without an exit, and the more the user's own infection value, the more vast the supported world. That snake spirit even supported an entire valley directly."

"Although I can use this thing directly, and can even take people in and out of the supported green world, if I put away the current 【Ghostly Green Dream】 and replace it with my own activation, the supported green world will probably be at most a few dozen square meters, and the stability is not comparable to the world supported by that snake spirit."

"In short, either it can't be used, or it's not suitable!"

After summarizing, the red-haired Bureau Chief continued:

"When there is such a time when you have good things but can't use them, you have to find an anomalous object blacksmith."

"And if you want to talk about the first-best blacksmith, it must be Lord Golden Bull, but she is self-sealing in the General Bureau now and can't help, so we can only find the second-best."

The second-best anomalous object blacksmith?

Li Ang blinked upon hearing this and asked with some curiosity:

"Bureau Chief, is that second-best blacksmith in the Dead Realm? Is he a member of our Cleaning Bureau?"

"Hmm, he is indeed in the Dead Realm, and he was also a member of our Cleaning Bureau before he died."

"..."

Wait! Before he died?

"Olivia! Ahahaha! You actually came to find me!"

In Li Ang's shocked eyes, a half-grown old man with a slightly hunched back and a dull, square head sat up from the coffin pried open by the red-haired Bureau Chief and said with joy:

"Since you came to find me, does that mean the Golden Bull of this generation is already dead?"

"Er... Lord Golden Bull has not ascended the palace yet..."

"Tsk!"

After hearing the red-haired Bureau Chief's answer, the dull-headed old man was immediately disappointed. He raised his hand to pull the coffin lid and wanted to lie back down, but was grabbed by the red-haired Bureau Chief who was prepared.

"You are not allowed to pull my coffin! Hurry up and let go!"

The old man, who suspected he had a grudge against Director Golden Bull, said angrily:

"Didn't I tell you? Don't come to find me if she's not dead! How can you not keep your word?"

"Third Generation Lord, we didn't agree on that back then."

The red-haired Bureau Chief, who was pulling the old man's coffin lid hard, shook her head and said:

"According to our agreement at that time, it was that I would find time to come find you once you became the best blacksmith in the world again and tell you this good news."

"Isn't that still the same?"

"It's different."

The red-haired Bureau Chief explained:

"Third Generation Lord, something happened in the Bureau recently. The Water Bottle Director of this generation covets the Watchtower Palace and wants to enter the Watchtower Palace by taking the opportunity to replace Lord Golden Bull as the palace sitter."

"To ensure the safety of the Watchtower Palace, Lord Golden Bull has already remained in the General Bureau under the protection of the other two directors to carry out self-sealing. She will absolutely not come out before ascending the palace, so you are the best blacksmith in the world again."

"Is that so? That's still okay..."

After hearing the red-haired Bureau Chief's explanation, the square-headed old man hesitated for a moment and finally didn't continue to cover his coffin lid, but asked unwillingly:

"Since she won't come out, then it can barely count as you not breaking your promise... Tell me, what do you want to do by coming to find me this time?"

"To find the best blacksmith, naturally, I want to invite you to forge."

After taking out the snake tail and broken halberd captured by Li Ang, the red-haired Bureau Chief pointed at Li Ang and said with a face:

"Third Generation Lord, he is a cleaner who joined our Bureau last year. He just had his anomalous object destroyed while executing a rescue mission, and now he lacks an offensive anomalous object."

"Can you use these two things he captured as the main materials and customize one that is suitable for him? If possible, one that doesn't consume much and can be borne by an ordinary Level 3 cleaner, and it would be even better if it can take into account future growth."

"Tsk... quite a lot of requirements!"

After muttering with dissatisfaction, the square-headed old man stood up from his coffin, took the materials with a stinking face, and looked at them, then let out a surprised "Eh."

"The limbs and weapons of a True God?"

After playing with the snake tail and the half-trident with his two blue hands, the square-headed old man's gaze fell on Li Ang for the first time, and he asked with confusion:

"This tail was just chopped off, right? Did you encounter a True God's death battle while executing a rescue mission?"

"Strange! You little guy looks so weak at first glance, and you are a newcomer who joined the Cleaning Bureau only last year. If you really stumbled into a battlefield where True Gods were fighting each other, you would probably be killed by them in the time it takes to breathe. How could you capture such precious materials?"

"That's a long story."

After giving Li Ang a look that told him not to pay attention to him, the red-haired Bureau Chief quietly closed the square-headed old man's coffin lid, kicked the coffin on the ground far away, and then said with a smile:

"Third Generation Lord, while you help him forge things, I will tell you what happened. What do you think?" ===== CHAPTER 321 =====
