Fiona never expected to be yed so thoroughly by Xu Fg.


    As someone who never had much experice in forging a growth-type weapon, she was definitely in a predicamt.


    It was just a shame that she had already giv her words out and charged 50 gold coins, believing that thetter could not have so much giv his pathetic equipmt.


    Who would have thought it was a wolf in sheep''s clothing?


    With a deep breath, Fiona exined, "I epted yourmission, but I don''t know wh I canplete it, Lin Fg. Aside from the necessary materials, growth-type weapons are hard to be birthed and the possibilities are very low."


    Giv the nature of a growth-type weapon and its amazing features, not many cksmiths could forge one in their lifetime.


    In fact, a cksmith being able to produce any growth-type equipmt was the main separation and differce betwe a pinnacle cksmith and a great cksmith.


    Anyone could be a great cksmith after years of honing and forging.


    However, to be a pinnacle cksmith, one must be able to create one growth-type item in their life.


    This was also something Xu Fg understood very well but was still willing to risk it. In life, if you never risk anything, th you will never achieve anything big.


    "You can rest assured that I can wait however long you can seed, Fiona." Xu Fg replied confidtly.


    "The day you seed is the day I''ll need to congratte you on your new cksmith status." He added, clearly having full trust in her ability.


    Though the truth was that he already knew Fiona was going to be a pinnacle cksmith in the future anyway thanks to his cheat knowledge.


    So to be precise, he wasn''t really risking it, but cing a guaranteed bet that would give him great return value.


    Naturally, Fiona was kept in the dark from his inner thought process and merely thought he was just an optimistic fellow regarding her ability.


    "Although I can''t guarantee wh I can forge one, I''ll try my best," Fiona said and took out 5 gold coins from the pouch. "And until th, I''ll only take half of the money as a deposit and you can give me the other half once Iplete themission."


    "Oh, Fiona is truly an honest cksmith." Xu Fg retrieved the 5 gold coins andmted. He wasn''t going to be a hypocrite and reject her goodwill.


    Not to mtion, having 5 gold coins now was better than having itter.


    After all, with the return of 5 gold coins, there would be more things he could implemt and increase its value further. By th, wh Fiona finally seeded, 5 gold coins would be nothing more than a droplet in an ocean.


    Sometimeter, Xu Fg finally decided to bid his farewell.


    "Our time might be short, but it was truly a fortunate evt. My frid here will continue to wait for your father''s return, but there''s something else I need to do." Xu Fg calmly said.


    "You''re leaving already?" Zhao Kai was stunned, clearly not ready for his departure despite knowing it wasing.


    Truth be told, he had a lot of fun ying with him and not having to worry about real-life matters. They used to y a lot in the past as well, but their game time was shorted as they grew older.


    How rare was it that the two of them got to game together?


    "Stop acting like I''m going somewhere far away," Xu Fg rolled his eyes. "You can still message me, and I''m just going to be busy with other tasks."


    "Right… but it still leaves a bitter taste."


    While Zhao Kai sighed at their short gaming time, Fiona kept her gaze on Xu Fg, looking him up and down.


    "Are you seriously leaving with those shabby gears of yours?" Fiona questioned solemnly.


    "I mean— this is a cksmith store and if others see you leaving in such gears. My reputation would take a massive hit." She added, giving her reasoning.


    However, Xu Fg was able to discern her true motive. Reputation was never something of her concern. It was clear that she wanted to offer him some upgrade gears in return for his great trust in her.


    "The staff and some equipmt that you lt us earlier… I supposed it could be a gift, right?" Xu Fg quickly said, revealing his inttion to keep the equipmt.


    Previously, Fiona had permitted them to be in the Storage Room to gather some equipmt to borrow as assistance in their mission.


    And now that the mission waspleted, they were supposed to return them, but how could Xu Fg be willing to?


    "I knew you were one sly cunning four-eyes, but to think you ev have your eyes on them." Unamused, Fiona gave him a very unfridly gaze.


    "Haha, those equipmt are just going to turn rusty and dusty in the Storage Room anyway." Xu Fg chuckled softly, walked behind her, and massaged her shoulders.


    "I''m just doing justice to the equipmt that you forged and showed them the daylight."


    ''S-So shameless!'' Zhao Kai, who witnessed the currt sce, waspletely baffled by Xu Fg''s action. He was ev more shameless than the time wh he wt to hug the thighs of Fiona.


    However, what made him more aggrieved was the fact that Fiona seemed to buy Xu Fg''s curry favor tactic over his.


    "Hmph, at least you know what to say properly, Lin Fg." Fiona snickered and pointed at her right shoulder. "Massage here harder. It''s kinda sore from hammering all day long."


    "My pleasure," Xu Fg smiled and increased his right-hand strgth, satisfying Fiona.


    "You have a knack for soothing that aching spot of mine." Fionaplimted.


    As the sce continued further, Zhao Kai was stunned on the spot, seemingly in disbelief at what the hell was going on.


    ''Wer''t you suffering from some bacsh? And wer''t you two discussing somemission? How did it suddly turn into a massage session?'' Zhao Kai eximed inwardly, wondering if he was dreaming.
