235: A microwave oven that won't raise prices

Feng Zhi's thoughts were completely different; he nudged Wang Yi's arm, his face full of anticipation: "Brother Wang, how are rare ores sold? Where can I buy them? I also want to buy some to refine weapons."

Who wouldn't want a weapon?

But weapons refined from rare ores weren't so easy to obtain; not to mention the cost, just finding a Weapon Refiner was no easy feat.

Yet, inexplicably, the microwave oven in this green train could actually refine weapons!

It was equivalent to an 'on-demand' Weapon Refiner!

Moreover, the costs were clearly priced, with no such thing as arbitrary price hikes.

At least half of their worries could be put to rest.

They had tested it yesterday; this microwave oven could refine weapons made from rare ores—that longbow.

Today, they not only put in rare ores but also four third-tier beast crystals.

If, when the refining time ended, they could really take out a core-embedded weapon from inside... they wouldn't have to go to such lengths to invite Weapon Refiners anymore when they wanted to forge core-embedded weapons in the future!

"Uh... I'm not too sure about that either. I asked my master for it, and he just gave me this much." Wang Yi was a bit embarrassed. Actually, he had originally wanted to ask where they were sold, but his master just gave them to him directly.

Feng Zhi: "..." Damn capitalists!

However, he didn't give up and looked at Gu Mingzhu instead.

Before he could even ask, Gu Mingzhu spread her hands and said, "Don't ask me; I don't know either. All these rare ores were given to me by my senior brother, and he didn't ask me for money."

Feng Zhi: "..."

Alright, alright, so only you two are rich, huh!

Why didn't he get a good start in life?!

[Refining complete, please retrieve.]

Three minutes passed quickly, the microwave oven stopped running, and now it was time to witness the miracle.

"What should we do? I'm a little scared; why don't you get it?" Gu Mingzhu was genuinely nervous and didn't quite dare to open the door.

Wang Yi thought, 'Even this troublemaker is scared sometimes? Did the sun rise from the west today?' But he still nodded and said, "Alright."

He stood in front of the microwave oven door and gently pulled it open—

A scorching heat rushed out.

"Wow, it's so hot."

"This heat can actually directly affect a martial artist's body."

Martial artists, Beast Tamers, Espers, etc., all have very special physiques that can block some of the sensations brought by the weather. For example, it was already late July, the temperature was rising, and it was scorching every day. If it were ordinary people, they would have stayed at home with the air conditioning on and not gone out, but these people wouldn't be affected too much.

Sometimes they didn't even need a fan, let alone air conditioning.

The green train didn't have air conditioning installed because it simply wasn't needed.

In fact, when Xiao Shen and the others felt the heat from opening the microwave oven door and the coldness emanating from the Ice Fiend Sword earlier, they had the same thought.

All of them felt the scorching heat emanating from the microwave oven, and Wang Yi quickly pulled his hand back, planning to wait for the heat to dissipate a bit before retrieving the item inside.

After about half a minute, the scorching sensation from the heat finally lessened, and Wang Yi reached in to take out the item.

It was a stick!

"This... is also a weapon?" The others were a bit puzzled. A stick could indeed be considered a type of weapon, but in all their years, they had never seen a martial artist use such a weapon with almost no lethality.

"It's core-embedded, look." Wang Yi flipped the stick over, and on the back, four beast crystals were neatly inlaid.

The three immediately gathered around.

Upon seeing those four third-tier beast crystals, each person's face showed obvious shock.

"It can actually embed beast crystals, and it's even quad-core!" This was said by Gu Mingzhu. She considered herself knowledgeable, having been born in the City Lord's Mansion, but this still exceeded her understanding!

green train, how many more surprises do you have that I don't know about?

"My goodness, I actually witnessed a quad-core weapon with my own eyes..."

Feng Zhi was stunned. He had been at the Beast Taming Bureau for so long and had seen many weapons, but the highest he had seen was dual-core, like the long spear Wang Yi had previously taken from the Beast Taming Bureau.

Within the entire Beast Taming Bureau, probably only the director himself could possess a triple-core weapon.

Wang Yi, as the director's personal disciple, only had a dual-core weapon, which showed how scarce triple-core weapons were.

Triple-core was already so rare, let alone quad-core!

Perhaps the entire 155 Fortress... "This weapon must be hidden well!" Ge Yunying, having recovered, said immediately, "Don't take it out when you don't need it. Just treat it as a life-saving trump card."

An innocent man is guilty because of his treasure. Whether it was Wang Yi or Ge Yunying, they only had some status in the 155 Fortress; once they went to other Walls, possessing such a quad-core weapon would definitely make them targets.

"Sister Yunying is right. The competition between our Three Great Powers is about to start. If we get into the top three, we'll be sent to the 97th Stronghold as exchange students..."

Gu Mingzhu narrowed her eyes, clearly seeing the seriousness of the situation as well.

Although she didn't understand why the City Lord of the 97th Stronghold would reach an agreement with her senior brother, since the agreement had been reached, it wouldn't be easily changed.

Because this concerned the credibility between the two Walls. When you had enough strength, credibility became extremely important.

"When did I say I was going to keep this stick?" Wang Yi smiled slightly and handed the long stick to Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu blinked. They had agreed on it last time; of course, she hadn't forgotten.

"The rare ores we put in weren't just from me. I already took back that longbow yesterday. This stick should belong to you," Wang Yi said.

Gu Mingzhu had indeed thought so originally, but she had expected the weapon refined today to be similar to yesterday's: "But this is a quad-core weapon, and the beast crystals weren't just from me either."

A quad-core weapon was indeed very attractive to her, but it was true, as she said, that neither the rare ores nor the beast crystals were solely hers.

Her senior brother had said that one should not overlook someone's contribution just because it was small.

Because you never knew when a tiny contribution at a critical moment might sway the entire battlefield's situation.

"Ah? I only put in one beast crystal; it's not worth much money, and Miss Mingzhu, you even waived my train ticket. I can't be greedy." Even if Feng Zhi was short on money, he couldn't ask for spirit stones at a time like this.

His thinking was simple: he had only contributed one beast crystal, the rare ores were the main cost, and no matter how good a quad-core weapon was, it would ultimately not be his.
