286: Stop talking, max out the level!

“Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier? ”

Xiao Yun was quite speechless after hearing the system’s notification.

Originally, he was worried that if he got coffee beans while running Aerospace in the future, and couldn’t craft six sets, wouldn’t this thing be useless?

But unexpectedly, the system’s family heirloom function perfectly compensated for this part.

“However, to upgrade the military dagger now, I need a pocket watch, and that’s not easy to acquire.”

Xiao Yun thought silently to himself.

Seyid’s pocket watch, although its withdrawal value is 200,000.

But because it’s a valuable red item, the real-world purchase price would have to be ten or twenty times higher, depending on its condition.

“Wait, the materials for upgrading the family heirloom... there doesn’t seem to be any restriction, right?”

[Hint: Upgrade materials only require corresponding items, regardless of condition or wear and tear.]

“That’s good then!”

Hearing the system’s prompt, Xiao Yun immediately felt a surge of excitement.

Currently, he had a total of 5 pocket watches in his safe; he had given one to his dad before, otherwise, he would have had 6.

And now, the family heirloom dagger’s level had reached 70, and to upgrade it to the next stage, he would need to find ten more pocket watches.

Originally, Xiao Yun wasn’t in a hurry to upgrade the family heirloom, mainly because red items were too expensive.

But after this period of running the dagger, Xiao Yun had a deeper understanding of red quality items.

That is, these things age and wear out!

Especially items like pocket watches, over time, they inevitably get bumped and scratched, which affects their condition and can even turn them into defective products.

It’s estimated that some old pocket watches brought out of the restricted area decades ago can now be bought for seven, eight times, or even lower, the price.

Moreover.

At this moment, Xiao Yun was a big-time dagger runner with over 200 million in cash!

If he could buy some defective red items, this wave might even allow him to directly upgrade the family heirloom dagger to max level!

“Teacher Yu should be an expert in this area; I’ll have to ask her about the situation then.”

Xiao Yun thought indifferently.

Mambo Mambo loves sweet candied hawthorns~

Just then, Xiao Yun’s phone suddenly rang.

He took it out and saw that it was his dad calling.

“Oh my! I completely forgot Mom was coming today.”

Before Xiao Yun even answered the phone, he knew what Xiao Qingtian was going to say.

So, he quickly activated his Destiny Skill, observed the scene at his small shop, and then answered the call.

“Where did you run off to, you brat? Don’t you know your mom is coming back this morning? Hurry to the station!”

Xiao Qingtian finished speaking and quickly hung up, not listening to anything Xiao Yun had to say.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun quickly adjusted the Destiny Skill’s view to Haibei City’s high-speed rail station.

“No wonder I didn’t see Dad; he ran off to the high-speed rail station to pick her up.”

Xiao Yun smiled helplessly; his dad was really considerate, knowing to go pick her up.

Sure enough, Xiao Yun soon saw Xiao Qingtian’s figure in the high-speed rail station.

Early in the morning, there weren’t many people at the high-speed rail station. Xiao Qingtian had changed his usual sloppy appearance, putting on a clean and decent casual suit, and even styled his hair with a middle part, popular in their generation.

It had to be said, although Old Xiao was already in his forties, with this makeover, he still had a bit of his youthful charm, looking quite handsome.

No wonder his mom, who was a research institute staff member at the time, fell for him.

“Brother, are you ready for the next match?”

Just then, Jian Fei excitedly walked over and asked Xiao Yun.

At this point, his address for Xiao Yun had changed to “Brother,” making them seem less distant.

“This round will be the same; we’ll cover for you, and you can just search once you’re inside.”

Du Le, standing nearby, also smiled.

At this moment, both of them had a much better attitude towards Xiao Yun.

The main reason was that Xiao Yun had helped them solve an urgent problem, directly enabling them to complete the task of extracting a big red worth 26 points in one night.

“Sorry, I have something to do; let’s talk about running the dagger tonight.”

Xiao Yun finished speaking without further explanation.

The two nodded, indicating their understanding.

Afterward.

Xiao Yun also planned to find a place without people or surveillance to directly teleport.

After he left, Du Le and Jian Fei stood blankly at the restricted area entrance.

“So, what do we do?”

“Let’s go too; we’ve already gathered enough points anyway.”

Du Le and Jian Fei said, preparing to leave.

They planned to return to GTI Headquarters to use the points they earned from last night to this morning to exchange for two sets of six-piece gear to redeem their captain.

After all three of them left, on the other side, Black Bro and his group, who had been silently observing their situation, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“They finally left… We can finally get everyone something to eat.”

Black Bro sighed, saying with great emotion.

Ever since Xiao Yun and those two teamed up, the restricted area had been completely barren.

The main force would just finish gathering and looting the resource points at their feet, and often, the rest of the entire map would already be completely emptied!

Since the main force was established, Black Bro had also gone through various difficulties, but none compared to last night.

This was simply the darkest night in Longjiang Impression City’s history.

However.

Fortunately, Black Bro understood their situation and knew that Du Le and Jian Fei would normally not come back once they had enough points.

However, Xiao Yun’s situation was hard to say.

“Black Bro, they shouldn’t come back again, right?”

At this moment, Xu Tao in the team also asked.

Black Bro could only sigh silently, responding tiredly.

“I hope so…”

......

Haibei City, at the high-speed rail station.

Xiao Yun walked to the waiting hall entrance, where his dad, Xiao Qingtian, was already waiting.

He had not only dressed up but also conveniently put on the gold Rolex Xiao Yun had given him before. He looked radiant, completely different from his previous sloppy appearance, always cooped up in the small shop.

“You’re here.”

Seeing Xiao Yun appear, Xiao Qingtian just nodded silently, not saying much.

So, the father and son stood at the entrance, just waiting, anticipating Researcher Dong Jinglan’s appearance.

“By the way… what time does Mom’s train arrive?”

After waiting for a while, Xiao Yun couldn’t wait any longer and asked.

“Don’t rush, she’ll be here soon.”

“So, what time is ‘soon’?”

“I told you ‘soon, soon’! Oh, isn’t that her now?”

As Xiao Qingtian’s words fell, a figure in a white lab coat walked out of the station exit.

Researcher Dong Jinglan had her hair in a single ponytail and wore a white lab coat. Although her eyes showed some fatigue, her gaze was very firm, making her look like a rigorous and serious scientific researcher.

Behind her, there was also a very young female assistant, who looked only a few years older than Xiao Yun.

“Wife, you’re finally back! It’s not easy for you to come back! Later, let’s go to your favorite hotpot place. Oh, by the way, how many days are you staying this time?”

As soon as he saw Researcher Dong Jinglan, Xiao Qingtian ran over like a fawning dog.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yun immediately felt speechless.

Perhaps that’s how his dad shamelessly pursued and won over his mom back then!

“AYun.”

However.

Facing Xiao Qingtian’s attentiveness, Researcher Dong Jinglan completely ignored him and walked quickly towards Xiao Yun instead.

Her gentle call instantly brought back countless memories for Xiao Yun.

Originally, when he came to the station, he didn’t feel much, but truly hearing his mom’s voice, he felt a deep longing in his heart.

“You came to the station so early, you must not have eaten anything this morning, right?”
