45: Black silk, primary potion fusion scroll

“Hahaha, Da Lao, hurry up and praise me, my luck is super good today.”

Liu Yang was caught off guard and immediately pinned down by Guan Ningyan.

Originally, he was very angry.

But feeling the softness in a certain spot, his fatigue instantly dissipated a lot.

After all, when something comfortable happens, a little hardship or tiredness doesn't matter.

With the mindset that not taking advantage of a good deal makes you a king.

He feigned ignorance and asked indifferently:

“What’s wrong? Did something good happen?”

“Mhm, mhm!” Guan Ningyan nodded her small head repeatedly.

“Didn’t you give me a list of materials? Today, I put the Wind Spirit Crossbow you gave me on display in the Auction House, and I didn’t expect someone to buy it.”

“Do you know what price I set? Ten stalks of auspicious grass.”

“A full ten stalks of auspicious grass, and they bought it without a word.”

“And that’s not all, she also…”

Guan Ningyan spoke extremely fast, recounting the entire story in one breath.

Liu Yang admired this, wondering how she had such great lung capacity.

Then, looking at her peach-colored lips so close, Liu Yang suddenly had a question.

If he were to give her a French kiss right now, wouldn’t he suffocate?

Stop, stop!

She’s still a young girl!

“Ahem.”

Liu Yang coughed twice.

“Shouldn’t you get up?”

“Huh?”

Guan Ningyan was startled, then realized how ungraceful her current posture was.

She scrambled up from Liu Yang’s body, a blush appearing on her face.

“Uh… don’t overthink what just happened, I was just overly excited.”

With the beauty off him, Liu Yang suddenly felt a tiny bit of regret.

If only she could have stayed a little longer.

“Overthink? What do you mean?”

Liu Yang feigned deafness.

“Nothing.”

Regardless of whether Liu Yang truly didn’t know or was pretending, Guan Ningyan took it as truth.

Then, she changed the subject, saying:

“Let’s talk about making arrows for someone, should we scam her?”

Guan Ningyan thought, rare materials are so scarce.

Making about 200 arrows from one type of material should earn a lot.

However, the final decision still rested with Liu Yang.

Guan Ningyan’s words stunned Liu Yang.

He never expected such a cute little girl to have such a dark side.

Truly, one cannot judge a book by its cover, nor can one measure her twin peaks!

Although Liu Yang strongly agreed with her idea and coveted New Constant Yui’s rare materials.

But for the sake of long-term gain, he couldn’t do that.

Once exposed, the consequences would be troublesome.

Therefore, such a notion of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs must never exist.

So, Liu Yang righteously reprimanded Ning Yan.

“How can you, at such a young age, have so many bad intentions? Is scamming something a kind person like me would do?”

“Since she is so sincerely willing to do business with us, we must be honest and never take advantage of others.”

“Got it, I won’t do that again next time.”

Seeing Guan Ningyan recognize her mistake, Liu Yang was very satisfied.

Then he smiled:

“As for the matching crossbow arrows, we can’t just do it for free. For now, we’ll charge her for one rare material per 100, no, 20 arrows.”

Guan Ningyan was stunned upon hearing this.

Then she shot Liu Yang a disdainful look.

“She thought one material for 200, but he directly divided it by 10.”

“Black-hearted!”

“With this kind of heart… he still has the nerve to lecture me.”

“No wonder he’s a Da Lao, I can’t compare to him in this regard, and there’s no way to compare!”

Then

“Da Lao is indeed a Da Lao, with a kind heart. In my opinion, giving her 10 is already good enough.”

“Sigh, survival is not easy, every bit of help counts.”

“…”

Guan Ningyan felt there was no point in talking anymore.

Then, remembering what she had promised her audience, Guan Ningyan asked in a low voice:

“Um, the crossbow I got this morning was sold, can you give me another one?”

How much does a crossbow cost anyway? He would be happy even if it exchanged for two rare materials.

Liu Yang immediately crafted two Wind Spirit Crossbows and handed them to Guan Ningyan.

“Here, both of these are for you. One to display, and one for self-defense.”

“As for the price, let’s not set it too high, just keep it the same.”

Taking the crossbow, Guan Ningyan began to busy herself with the live stream.

Liu Yang also busied himself with his own affairs nearby.

He brought up the game interface and entered his storage.

Looking at the harvest from most of the day, he counted and could craft 19 beginner hallucination potions.

“Still a bit few, if I had 40 or 50, it should be enough.”

“No, I need to hurry.”

Liu Yang stood up and asked Guan Ningyan:

“I’m rested. Are you staying here to rest or coming with me?”

Guan Ningyan looked up, a little surprised, but still nodded.

“I’ll go with you.”

Although higher-level monsters hadn't appeared for a long time after being killed, who could guarantee it?

“Congratulations on killing the Shadow Poison Toad, you have obtained shadow poison toad skin x1, corrosion grass x2, Black Mandrake x4, Spiritual Energy x1.”

“Congratulations on killing the Shadow Poison Toad, you have obtained Necro Grass x2, Chicken Heart Fruit x2, wooden treasure box x1, Spiritual Energy x1.”

“Huh? Can regular monsters drop treasure chests too?”

Excluding the Bookworms in the Book Tower.

Liu Yang must have killed around 1000 monsters by now.

The treasure chests he had obtained, aside from those he picked up directly, only dropped from bosses and elite monsters.

Now.

This treasure chest made him realize his mistake.

Minor monsters weren't unable to drop them, but the drop rate was too, too, too low.

Since a treasure chest dropped, there was nothing to say, just open it directly.

“You have opened a wooden treasure box and obtained wind spirit stone x1, iron block x4, a pair of black silk stockings x1, beginner potion fusion scroll x1.”

“Huh!”

“Huh?”

Liu Yang’s heart fluctuated violently.

With a thought, a packaged pair of black silk stockings appeared in his hand.

“Black Silk Stockings: Made from special silk threads, strong and durable, full of elasticity. Please do not waste effort pulling them, you cannot destroy them.”

Looking at the item in his hand, a figure flashed through Liu Yang’s mind.

Guan Ningxiu.

This item was perfect for long legs.

If she wore them, the effect…

If a maid uniform also dropped, that would be even better.

As a nanny, a uniform is still necessary.

Putting the items away, he glanced back at Guan Ningyan, who was seriously live streaming again, and Liu Yang let out a sigh of relief.

“That was careless, good thing she didn’t notice. If it had been caught on camera, then…”

“Beginner Potion Fusion Scroll: Can merge and refine a large quantity of the same beginner potion to enhance its effect. The quality of the effect depends on the quantity of potions.”

“This is good. I was just worrying about the potion’s potency not being enough, and it arrived. My luck is pretty good, too.”

“Hmm, just a tiny bit worse than the Goddess of Luck.”

With the special harvest, Liu Yang felt energized.

“Let’s go, today we’ll clear out this area.”

With a wave of his right hand, Liu Yang strode forward.

“Shadow Poison Toad, you need to pull your weight. Don’t get wiped out by me in just a few moves. At the very least, wait until I’ve gathered enough materials for 50 potions.”
