62: Fengya wants to have a child, and she told me to eat more nourishing foods.

The house next to the Blacksmith Shop was approximately 230 square meters.

Under Master Tie's barrage of punches, kicks, threats, and intimidation, Rich and Honorable Zhu obediently allowed Lin Du to exchange two pieces of Land Token for the property.

Lin Du gained over 30 square meters for free!

The location next to the Blacksmith Shop was a true prime spot, with a unit price reaching at least 60 to 80 years of "lifespan value" per square meter, which was at least three or four times higher than the shop Lin Du had previously been interested in.

Calculating it this way, Lin Du truly made a massive profit today!

Hong Jiu'er and Scorpion Tail Needle originally intended to ruin Lin Du's good fortune today.

Unexpectedly, not only did they fail to ruin it, but they also allowed Lin Du to snag a huge bargain... Scorpion Tail Needle's face was ashen, looking ready to kill.

Hong Jiu'er maintained her elegance, but an unshakeable gloom settled between her brows.

Lin Du smiled widely and cupped his hands towards the two of them.

"Thank you both for your kindness. You truly helped me greatly today."

"Beautiful Red Wine, the expression on your face is too stiff! Hurry up and smile!" Lin Du stretched his mouth into a grin, a blatant provocation.

Scorpion Tail Needle was about to lose control.

Hong Jiu'er took a deep breath and walked up to Lin Du, the composure gone from her charming face.

"This shop is indeed nice, but what use is it to a dead man like you?"

"I look forward to our next meeting!"

Without giving Lin Du a chance to retort, Hong Jiu'er swayed her voluptuous waist and walked out the door without looking back.

Scorpion Tail Needle glared at Lin Du before following closely behind... After selecting the shop's location, Lin Du and Master Tie rushed back to the Blacksmith Shop without delay.

The last time Lin Du came to the Blacksmith Shop, he hadn't noticed the idle shop next door.

This time, Lin Du walked around the shop, both inside and out.

The facilities inside the shop were slightly outdated, but the storefront was very conspicuous, and the internal structure had no major issues.

The shop was composed of two rooms, a front and a back.

The front hall was about 150 square meters and was mainly used for displaying goods and receiving customers.

Between the front hall and the back room was a large, complimentary courtyard, and through the courtyard wall, one could clearly see the bustling, fiery scene inside the Blacksmith Shop.

The back room of the shop was about 80 square meters, mainly used for daily resting and storage.

What surprised Lin Du was that there was also a basement beneath the back room, nearly 80 square meters in size.

The basement space was exceptionally spacious, making it perfect for forging weapons and equipment... Although the shop seemed to be only 230 square meters, the actual area was more than 330 square meters!

"Big Brother Tie, do you know any craftsmen? I plan to renovate this place."

A good environment is essential; this cannot be overlooked.

"With us brothers here, why would you look for other craftsmen!"

"Leave the renovation work here to us brothers. If you have any other requirements, just say them; don't be shy!"

Master Tie waved his hand grandly, full of heroic spirit.

*universe ol* is a nearly realistic world where NPCs have a high degree of freedom, and every NPC has their own personality and preferences.

Renovating a house is a trivial matter for the group of blacksmith big shots!

Speaking of other requirements, Lin Du really did have a favor he needed to ask Master Tie for.

It was urgent!

This matter concerned Lin Du's survival in the near future, and perhaps only Master Tie's connections could help.

"Big Brother Tie, do you know any Formation Masters?"

"I want to set up a Magic and Martial Arts Restriction Array in the shop!"

The words Baili Xuancang inadvertently spoke today made Lin Du realize that even being in the Main City might not guarantee absolute safety.

But if he sets up the Magic and Martial Arts Restriction Array inside the shop, then it would be truly safe.

No matter what methods you possess, you won't be able to use them inside the shop!

If the Peak of the Forbidden City becomes desperate and decides to tear off all pretenses with Lin Du, Lin Du can just hide in the shop and not go out.

What can the Peak of the Forbidden City do?

They would still be helpless against him!

When Master Tie heard that Lin Du was looking for a Formation Master, a smug smile appeared on his rough face.

"You don't need to look outside for a Formation Master, that old rascal Du Qing is right here!"

"Looking across the entire Yunlong City, there are no more than three Formation Masters stronger than him!"

"You can confidently hand the matter of setting up the array over to him!"

Du Qing was the blacksmith dressed as a mage that Lin Du saw the first time he came to the Blacksmith Shop.

At that time, Du Qing controlled flames to forge weapons in mid-air; his technique was miraculous and drew gasps of admiration from onlookers... All of Lin Du's problems were solved by Master Tie in just a few words.

The renovation work was completely handed over to Master Tie, and given their speed, a few hours would be enough to complete the modifications.

Lin Du went alone to the materials store across the street, preparing to purchase some crafting materials.

Tomorrow was the shop's opening day, and the products naturally couldn't consist solely of the SS-rank Skill, Emperors Heart Sword; there needed to be a few suitable accompanying items.

The few pieces of equipment dropped in the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance had mediocre attributes and weren't highly valuable.

Lin Du already had other plans in mind... After working hard all night, the shop had been renovated, and everything needed was prepared.

Lin Du logged out of the game.

Inside the small bedroom of the Ning Family Villa, Lin Du slowly opened his eyes.

The sky outside was already faintly bright; it was time to get up and make breakfast for Short for Ning Fengya.

In the kitchen, Lin Du seriously began preparing breakfast using the recipe Short for Ning Fengya had given him.

Today's menu was slightly different from usual, with an exceptionally rich variety.

Protein, vitamins A, B, C, D, E, quality fats, trace elements... the food contained almost every element the human body needed.

Short for Ning Fengya was already preparing for pregnancy, and the menu was designed according to prenatal standards... Da da da—

Heavy footsteps sounded outside the dining room.

Ning Fengnian walked into the dining room wearing a set of black pajamas. After pouring a glass of water, he walked straight toward Lin Du.

He seemed to... smell a somewhat unusual odor.

"Lin Du, what are you doing?" Ning Fengnian frowned tightly when he saw the scene on the kitchen counter.

Two large plates of oysters were conspicuously placed on the huge counter, and the strange smell emanated from them.

Meanwhile, Lin Du, the person in question, was holding a palm-sized oyster and slurping it down with a look of pure enjoyment... When Ning Fengnian called out and received no response, his face immediately darkened.

"Lin Du!" Ning Fengnian called out again.

This time, Lin Du raised his head.

"Oh, Big Brother, is something wrong?" Lin Du bewilderedly put down the oyster in his hand.

Seeing Lin Du's appearance, a surge of inexplicable anger rose in Ning Fengnian's heart.

"What are you doing here first thing in the morning!" Ning Fengnian demanded in a deep voice.

Lin Du held up the oyster in his hand, looking completely innocent.

"Fengya wants to have a child, and she told me to supplement my diet lately."

"Big Brother, do you want one too?"

...
