Metal (庚金)? Yes, five thousand kilograms!
This year's freshman competition is also drawing to a close.
Lin Xiao single-handedly won two championships!
The rewards were exceptionally generous, with the cultivation fund alone totaling three hundred million!
He also received many ability stones and Awakening stones as rewards.
There was also an SS-grade Martial Skill, Myriad Calamities Without Extinction, which is a Martial Skill related to space abilities, perfectly suited for Lin Xiao!
At the same time, the organizers also gave Lin Xiao an Opportunity; they specially invited a Great Master blacksmith from Dragon Country to tailor a weapon exclusively for him!
This wave truly made Lin Xiao comfortable!
After much thought, Lin Xiao decided to make a pair of gauntlets!
This Great Master blacksmith is a top-tier existence in Dragon Country; normally, many young masters from Noble Families would eagerly spend a fortune to visit him, just to get him to act!
This Great Master blacksmith is named Deng Ping!
At this moment, Lin Xiao had already left the competition venue and was taken by Li Long to a more secluded place.
"Lin Xiao, this Master Deng has a rather volatile temper, so you must be careful not to anger him!"
Li Long looked at Lin Xiao cautiously; mentioning this Great Master, even he, who had long fought on battlefields, felt a little unnatural.
"Damn it, which Old fellow is slandering me behind my back again? Hmm? Oh, it's little Li, are you itching for a beating again!"
A slightly irritable voice came from ahead.
A burly middle-aged man walked out; his hands were covered in calluses, his eyes were extremely bright, and his hair was a bit disheveled.
This is Master Deng Ping, the foremost Great Master blacksmith in Dragon Country!
"Master Deng, your Junior Li Long specially came to visit you!" Li Long's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the figure who suddenly appeared.
Regardless of strength, status, or anything else, in front of this Senior, he was just a small fry. He felt a bit awkward, not expecting that his words had been completely overheard by the other party.
"Go, go, go, I'll talk to that Tuoba Mu fellow later and tell him what kind of soldiers he's raising!"
Deng Ping waved his hand impatiently, then looked at Lin Xiao.
"You are Lin Xiao?"
He had already received news that he would be forging a pair of gauntlets for a young man named Lin Xiao this time.
"What is your ability attribute? Do you have any requirements for the weapon's appearance?" Deng Ping asked simply.
As a Great Master blacksmith, he had to ensure that every piece of his work was as perfect as possible!
"Space-time attribute, as for the appearance, I don't really have any requirements." Lin Xiao was very direct.
"Oh? Space-time ability?" Hearing this, Deng Ping looked at Lin Xiao with great surprise.
He hadn't been paying attention to outside news recently, so he didn't expect that a young man with both space and time abilities would appear in Dragon Country again!
"Alright, I understand. Come back here in a week." Deng Ping waved his hand, ready to see them out!
"Uh, Master Deng, Junior actually has another matter for this visit!" Li Long quickly stepped forward; he had returned with a mission this time.
"I know what you're going to say, but there's nothing I can do. Those weapons and equipment are just missing the final step, but there's no way, the stock of Geng Metal has been exhausted!"
Deng Ping shook his head; without raw materials, there was nothing he could do.
Li Long's expression changed repeatedly; he had already anticipated this situation, but he hadn't expected Dragon Country to be so short on Geng Metal at the moment!
"Master Deng, is there really no other way?"
He was a bit unwilling.
"There's no way. The Geng Meridian Source has been producing less and less Geng Metal every day recently, completely unable to meet demand." Deng Ping also expressed helplessness.
He and Tuoba Mu were old friends; of course, he wouldn't be stingy when his old friend was in trouble, but he had already tried many methods, which were just a drop in the bucket.
Lin Xiao, standing aside, was stunned when he heard the conversation between the two.
"Excuse me, is this the Geng Metal you're talking about?"
A voice interrupted Deng Ping and Li Long's conversation, and both looked at Lin Xiao simultaneously.
At this moment, Lin Xiao was holding a heavy metal glowing with golden light.
"It's Geng Metal! Good heavens, such a large piece of Geng Metal must weigh at least fifty kilograms! Kid, where did you get it?"
Deng Ping looked at the Geng Metal in Lin Xiao's hand with shock; such a large piece was uncommon.
The entire Dragon Country's Geng Metal production last year was only about three thousand kilograms, and this one piece in Lin Xiao's hand alone must be a full fifty kilograms!
"Lin Xiao, you...?"
Li Long was also surprised; suddenly, as if he thought of something, he quickly looked at Lin Xiao.
"Lin Xiao, do you still have more of this stuff? About how much?"
He remembered Lin Xiao once telling him that he had caused a ruckus at the Geng Meridian Source; the specific reason wasn't detailed at the time, but it definitely had something to do with Geng Metal!
"Uh... there's still about five thousand kilograms left."
Lin Xiao thought for a moment; after deducting what he had exchanged before, he had roughly that much left.
"How much?"
"How, how much?"
Deng Ping and Li Long both exclaimed at the same time.
"About five thousand kilograms!"
Lin Xiao even checked specifically; there was indeed that much left, and he didn't know if it was enough...
"Kid, do you know how scarce this Geng Metal is? The entire Dragon Country only produced about three thousand kilograms last year, and you're saying you have five thousand?"
Deng Ping looked at Lin Xiao as if he were looking at an idiot, feeling as if he had been fooled by this kid; he was a little angry!
"Lin Xiao, you can't just say things like that!"
Noticing the fluctuation in Master Deng's emotions, Li Long quickly stepped forward to address Lin Xiao, making sure not to offend Master Deng.
"I really do have that much left!"
Lin Xiao stopped talking nonsense; his Divine Sense condensed slightly, and this space suddenly erupted with an extremely brilliant and dazzling golden light.
Geng Metal!
It was all Geng Metal!
The dazzling golden light continuously burst forth; Deng Ping was stunned by this sudden change in scenery. He swore he had never seen so much Geng Metal in his life!
This was Geng Metal, a top-tier metal that could be called a strategic resource!
The most he had ever received was less than five hundred kilograms, and that was when he participated in a major project to get that much.
How much must be here now!
"Is there really five thousand?"
Li Long stood by, not as professional as Deng Ping, and didn't know the true value of five thousand kilograms of Geng Metal, only feeling a bit surprised.
He hadn't expected this kid Lin Xiao to bring him so many surprises!
"Kid, how did you get all this Geng Metal?" Deng Ping looked at Lin Xiao with a solemn expression.
This quantity was too astonishing; he had to be cautious!
..."So that's how it is! Hahahahaha, well done, damn it! I've long disliked those damned Myriad Races!"
Deng Ping couldn't stop laughing after hearing Lin Xiao's experience, constantly praising Lin Xiao!
"Li Long, you kid better learn well. You're both from Military Martial backgrounds, don't let a student surpass you!" Deng Ping looked at Li Long next to him with great enthusiasm.
"Lin Xiao, how do you plan to deal with this Geng Metal now?"
Deng Ping looked at Lin Xiao; as a Senior, he wouldn't engage in shady dealings, but the quantity of this Geng Metal was too astonishing.
Lin Xiao looked at Deng Ping and then at Li Long.
After thinking for a while, he cupped his fists.
"If the country needs it, this student is willing to offer it to the country without compensation!"
Hearing this, Deng Ping looked at the young man before him with some relief. After the explanation just now, the preciousness of Geng Metal was already evident.
And the value of such a massive quantity of Geng Metal was immeasurable; the key was that this type of resource was priceless!
The daily output was so small!
"Heh heh, you are thoughtful!" Deng Ping showed a faint smile, but this quantity was a bit too large, and he didn't dare to make a decision easily.
Then he fell silent for a moment.
"How about this, if you trust me, I'll help you handle this Geng Metal and try to maximize your benefits! Dragon Country won't take your things for free, do you think that's feasible?"
Lin Xiao bowed respectfully.
"Then this student respectfully accepts!"
"Hahaha, straightforward! In a week, I will give you your weapon and your belongings together!"
