"Young Master Gu, there is something I would like you to take a look at."
The dual-gun user who said this reached out and took something from his companion next to him, and then handed it over with both hands.
Gu Chen took it over in surprise, and saw that it was a rusty old dagger. The dagger was about five inches long, and its material looked like gold but not gold, like stone but not stone, and the handle and body of the dagger were not.
A mysterious totem carved in the shape of antlers. Judging from the craftsmanship alone, this dagger must have been a very valuable artifact at the time. Unfortunately, due to the passage of time, the totem on the dagger was severely worn and the blade no longer existed.
"Huh?" Gu Chen, who was looking at the dagger, suddenly frowned.
Although to the naked eye, the dagger is just a weathered antique, but in Gu Chen's eyes, there is a faint glowing fire inside the dagger. The glowing fire is undoubtedly the result of the spiritual flow.
Judging from Gu Chen's experience, the artifact containing brilliant fire is either a high-grade spiritual weapon like the Yanwa staff, or a spirit-forming monster like the pot monster.
However, the dagger's brilliant flame was too weak, and it could be extinguished at any time like a candle in the wind, so Gu Chen couldn't tell which situation it was. The only thing that was certain was that this dagger was definitely extraordinary.
"We picked this dagger in the south hall of Li Palace. There were several stone monsters wandering around it at that time. We only discovered it after defeating the stone monsters." Seeing that Gu Chen seemed interested in the short dagger, the double-gun user quickly introduced it.
"Although I don't know its origin, it should be worth some money as an antique. I unintentionally offended Mr. Gu last time, and I hope you can accept it as an apology."
"Isn't this not good?" Gu Chen hesitated. He was quite interested in the dagger, but after all, it was a trophy obtained by someone's blood and sweat. Besides, he really didn't treat the dagger like last time.
Keep things in mind.
"Hey, Mr. Gu, please don't be polite. If you don't mind, just accept it." Seeing the Dual-Gunman's face look troubled, Huang Xiong hurriedly spoke up to help. "A dagger is nothing, but it is your carriage shop."
I’ve really helped you all a lot. Although I don’t have anything useful here, please accept this dagger as a thank you gift!”
Huang Xiong, who said this, pointed to the dual-gun user and introduced. "The other guy's name is Zhou Chang. Although his strength is not top-notch, he is also a veteran of our Liyang Gang. If Mr. Gu, you are willing to write down his name a little bit.
Name, it would be great to take care of you again if you have the opportunity in the future."
"...Okay, thank you very much, Brother Zhou Chang."
Since the other party said that they were offered the job, it would be too unkind to refuse any more. Seeing Gu Chen nod and put away the dagger, the dual-gun user who called Zhou Chang and his team also looked relieved. He glanced at
Seeing the exaggerated performance of the pioneers, Gu Chen felt slightly amused.
Speaking of which, the existence of such a master who drank wine and ate meat with the pioneers around the campfire was probably unprecedented in the Guihuang Kingdom. It is no wonder that Huang Xiong, Zhou Chang and others were trembling and did not know how to respond, but for
For Gu Chen, the feeling of being respected by others is not unpleasant at all.
Gu Chen shook his head as if to get rid of distracting thoughts, and picked up a piece of roasted meat.
……………………
After having a feast with the pioneers, Gu Chen returned to the carriage shop and it was already the moon above the treetops. Feiyan had just finished checking today's sales account and was almost slumped on the counter from exhaustion. As for Xiao Yi, he was busy
Wearing a bamboo tube to hold medicine for tomorrow, it also looks like we have to work at night by candlelight.
Gu Chen put the wine and food he had brought back on the counter in the front compartment of the cage car, and asked the two of them to come over to have a meal and rest, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Leaving aside the self-protection force of setting foot in the wilderness, but in terms of the entity running the organization,
Gewufang is actually extremely weak.
In Gewufang, Gu Chen is responsible for production, Feiyan is responsible for sales, and Xiao Yi is responsible for packing and doing miscellaneous tasks. Relying on a workshop team of only three people to cope with the huge consumer demand of the pioneers is like using a bamboo knife.
As reluctant as fighting a tiger. Even if Gu Chen sets numerous conditions to reduce the operational burden, the team, especially the female swordsmen, face a difficult experience that is close to the limit of collapse every day.
A forced march operation like this is unlikely to last for long, but fortunately, the pioneers are currently working hard and are preparing to clear the Chaos Ruins within the time limit of the government. If they can really do it, they should barely be able to stay in Gewufang.
within the limits of tolerance.
"Everyone, come on, hold on for another two days, it's almost over."
Gu Chen encouraged the team members and told the female swordsman and the little white ape to have a good rest. Then he took the pot monster into the mountaineering tent next to the cage car to prepare for today's medicine refining operation. In the mountaineering tent, the lamp made of
The Yunqi lamp given by the female secretary was emitting soft light like the full moon, illuminating the small desk in the tent.
"Well, I'm really a bit unmotivated..."
There were utensils for refining medicine on the small desk, but Gu Chen didn't want to touch them.
The mental fatigue accumulated over the past few days from staying up late refining medicine could not be eliminated even by drinking the dust-cleansing water. Gu Chen scratched his head and suddenly took out the rusty dagger from his arms as if thinking about it. The dagger was
The ancient artifacts discovered by the Zhou Chang Group in the Hunhou Palace, and through the pure eyes Gu Chen could clearly see the swaying brilliant fire in the dagger.
The dagger contains brilliant fire, which means that this dagger is not extraordinary, but the radiant fire that has been worn away by the years is very weak. If it is a master craftsman who masters the power of creation, there may be a way to repair the dagger, right? But for the current situation
For Gu Chen, the most he can do is to use a small shovel to clean off the mud and rust on the dagger, and then apply some oil to maintain it.
Although there was an unlimited water supply and a large amount of materials in the tent, there was only no oil.
Gu Chen was too lazy to go to the carriage to get it. After thinking about it, he suddenly clapped his hands and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms.
The porcelain bottle contains the medicinal liquid that he refined using the red stone from the underground cave. Although theoretically, the medicinal liquid that is incorporated into Lingfan can be classified as a "spiritual medicine", but Gu Chen still hasn't understood this medicinal liquid so far.
What is the effect? What is special is that tung oil is used as a catalyst when extracting red stone spirit essence, so it should be no problem to use it to maintain daggers.
"...Forget it, just waste it."
Thinking that there was no use in leaving the medicinal solution with unclear efficacy, Gu Chen no longer bothered about whether to waste it, so he poured a little of the medicinal solution on the dagger, and then wiped it with a dry cloth. Wiping the dagger
Gu Chen didn't pay attention at first, but after a while he suddenly stopped.
"What?"
I saw that the weak flame in the dagger, which was originally like a candle in the wind, became slightly stronger for some reason. The astonished Gu Chen looked closely, and then saw that those in the medicine that had never found a use were
The red stone Spiritual Brahma is surging inexplicably at this moment? Wisps of the Spiritual Brahma seeped into the dagger, blending into the inner essence like lamp oil, making the brilliant fire gradually become stronger.
As the inner brilliant fire became stronger, the appearance of the dagger also underwent incredible changes. The weathered and worn carvings became clear again, and the broken and missing corners of the blade were automatically repaired. When Gu Chen returned
When he came to his senses, the ancient dagger in his hand had become brand new.
