The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 43 Privileges for the Use of Sacred Artifacts
Mao Xi turned on the live broadcast mirror, raised the lens, locked onto the cultural relics, and avoided children from entering the camera.

This young man, who is a little reserved in reality, is now talking freely about historical relics.

"We're heading deeper into the ruins. Do you see the workers in protective suits underneath? The excavation isn't complete yet, and they're meticulously cleaning the dust off the surfaces of the artifacts with small brushes. While robots can handle routine tasks, for artifacts that have just come to light, humans are more appropriate..."

Mao Xi’s explanation is very interesting. He can clearly explain the items used by the ancients and why the ancients made such ancient items.

Su Ninglong listened to the explanation while referring to the exhibit notes.

It feels like I am traveling back in time and would think and act the same way.

After displaying the exhibits in a hall, Mao Xi suddenly introduced an age limit.

"We have finally arrived at the Sacred Hall that we have been looking forward to the most. Children are not allowed to watch the following content." He kicked all children under the age of twelve out of the live broadcast room before entering the Sacred Hall.

"It's obviously semi-public, why can't children know about it?" Su Ninglong was actually very puzzled.

A baby voice suddenly broke out in the live broadcast room, making the audience excited.

[Maozi, do you have a child? ]

[Secret marriage and childbirth? ]

The child's question is so cute. Answer her quickly. Scare her.

"That's not right. Did you forget that children can enter the Sacred Hall with Maozi?"

Mao Xi was so focused on the live broadcast that he almost ignored Suning Long.

Just as he was about to respond, Xing Yuan interrupted him, explaining, "Before the interstellar fusion, some materialists didn't believe in the existence of secret spirits. They persecuted a special group that could see them. Even though discrimination and harm have been reduced, it's undeniable that some people still believe that secret spirits are illusory."

"On the other hand, experiments have confirmed that children who are frightened by a mysterious spirit before the age of four will develop a shadow trauma that is difficult to heal, and it is almost a permanent mark of fear."

Xing Yuan paused before continuing, "Even if he enrolls in the Star Alliance and graduates with honors, such a child wouldn't be able to serve as a hunter. Furthermore, all of the Sacred Artifacts in the Sacred Artifact Hall are provided by the Star Alliance. Due to these three considerations, the Sacred Artifact Hall will not be open to children under the age of twelve who are not Star Alliance students."

Why does the Star Alliance train children? Of course, it is to train powerful hunters.

Being unable to serve as a hunter is a nice excuse.

In fact, children who have been contaminated by secret spirits before the age of four have a higher probability of being contaminated by secret spirits again than ordinary people, and the probability increases exponentially.

This kind of contamination usually does not require physical contact and is very mild. It only requires seeing the secret spirit and being afraid of the secret spirit, then the fear will be implanted at that moment.

Therefore, Zou Shuyi did not allow anyone to mention the secret spirit before Su Ninglong went to kindergarten.

After the age of four, the risk of fear implantation will be reduced, and children of this age begin to have the possibility of taming fear.

The semi-publicity is to eliminate people's doubts, so that when encountering special things, they will call the police immediately instead of investigating in person.

Concealing the truth is like weaving a protective net for the child.

However, entering the Sacred Hall is a privilege for students studying in the Star Alliance.

【The little brother’s voice is so sweet. 】

[Maozi, please, please let us take a quick look. Is that child from the Star Alliance? Why can't we show off a Star Alliance child?]

【We are all children, what difference can there be.】

Mao Xi waved his hands and fixed the camera firmly on the display case, "No, no, the children are too young." He would not give the live camera to Su Ninglong and Charlie as the audience wished, let them be curious.

"Ahem, this holy artifact in front of me is the True Self Mirror. It's impervious to the erosion of secret spirits, and its other uses are unknown... It's a product of ancient times. Back then, humans used their power and wisdom to fight against secret spirits. I really want to know more about their deeds..."

After hearing the origin of the holy weapon, Su Ninglong was stunned. It turned out that there were gaps in human history.

There was once a civilization that was buried in the deep space along with the mysterious spirits, and no one could detect it.

Until the super-intelligence opened this mysterious door by chance.

How the mysterious spirit disappeared and how civilization was interrupted remain unsolved mysteries to this day.

The sacred artifact is also a masterpiece of the fault civilization and cannot be replicated, so the school attaches so much importance to Su Ninglong's earrings.

Su Ninglong asked Xing Yuan to pick her up and look around the True Self Mirror twice.

"Some people believe that humans in the era of the Fault Civilization can communicate with heaven and earth, and their spirits are connected to the universe..."

The True Self Mirror is copper-green in color and hexagonal in shape. Each corner has a hollowed-out animal head pattern, and a holographic image of the instructions for use is played next to it.

One of the corners can open and close. Each time it opens and closes, it charges energy. No one knows what it charges. We only know that it is similar to a charger. It has been excavated for three years, but no one has been able to activate it.

This is how the researchers explained it in the holographic image. They speculated that it needed to be matched with the hunter's characteristics, and because no one had been able to match it, they put it in an exhibition cabinet after digging it out.

There were few people in the Sacred Artifact Hall. Seeing Su Ninglong circling in front of the display case, a staff member came over and said, "Children from the Star Alliance can apply to see an item in person. Does this child want to touch the real thing?"

"I want to." Su Ninglong would not miss this opportunity if he could get started.

[Oh my god, can you really touch it? Cultural relics are not locked in bulletproof cabinets?]

[It's a shady deal, absolutely a shady deal. Hunter's VIP service.]

Mao Xi was stunned. As the barrage of comments exploded, he pressed down on the display case. "Wait, is this legal? This is a historical relic. How can you let a child play with it?"

Is the Gemini Ancient Museum going to be awesome?
Cold sweat oozed from his back as the number of live broadcast viewers was breaking through the 100,000 mark at a terrifying speed.

His original intention was just to prevent Su Ninglong from being cyberbullied.

But saying it out loud seems to be stirring up public anger.

[I knew that those who could join the Star Alliance were not from ordinary families.]

They were actually able to touch things in the museum.

[Blogger, call the police.]

[Hahaha, they can say this in front of you openly, there must be a reason for the museum.]

The staff asked Xing Yuan to fill out a form, and the manager of the Sacred Artifact Hall came to unlock it. He explained, "All of these items on display were discovered with the financial and labor of the Star Alliance. When they were identified as sacred artifacts, they were already designated for hunters. If they can save a life, then they're more useful than just sitting here. The regulations for the management of interstellar sacred artifacts also explain this; you can check them online."

These words silenced the people who were watching the show in the live broadcast room.

I thought it was a misuse of public property, but it turned out that it had been planned long ago.

Can the people in the live broadcast room say that objects are more valuable than human lives? No.

In times of war, these things were not even as expensive as a piece of cake, it was just people who gave them value.

"The surveillance here is comprehensive," the manager said, pointing to the cameras installed in every corner. "We have a 360-degree shadowless surveillance array, three more sets of cameras than the interrogation chamber in the Interstellar Court. We won't break the law knowingly."

After taking out the holy artifact, they gave Su Ninglong a pair of small gloves and said, "Remember, don't damage it. Be gentle, okay?"

Su Ninglong nodded.

Charlie and Charlie's father came over, and the staff asked Charlie if he wanted to apply to touch an item. Charlie's father immediately waved his hands and said, "No, no." His son was a little unlucky guy, and he was afraid that he would break other people's things as soon as he touched them.

No matter how rich he was, he couldn't afford to pay. It was said that a sacred artifact with no restrictions on its use fetched tens of millions at auction. This special artifact was definitely worth no less than six figures.

After Su Ninglong took the True Self Mirror, she began to study it. Her spiritual tentacles penetrated deep into the mirror to check its craftsmanship.

The reason why the True Self Mirror is called this name is because there is a relief of the word "True" engraved on the back.

He stroked the real characters bit by bit with his gloved fingertips, exploring the mirror body in depth.

She discovered that there were many spiritual power channels and complex rune imprints in the mirror. This was a real magic weapon.

But gradually, Su Ninglong felt something was wrong.

The inner passage feels stagnant, as if it were a work completed by several people, but they lacked the ability and had to make up for it with the number of people.

Su Ninglong tapped the mirror lightly, and the echo was dull and astringent.

Seeing her careless actions, others couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, "Little ancestor, please don't treat me like a toy and throw me on the ground."

Although the floor was specially covered with thick carpet.

But when the True Self Mirror does not produce the effect of a holy artifact, it is a cultural relic.

Su Ninglong touched her chin. Based on her previous knowledge of refining equipment, she could only see that the designer had sacrificed applicability in pursuit of the ultimate effect.

To put it simply, if people who are not strong enough use it, there will be side effects.

The manager and staff observed Suninglong's interaction with the True Self Mirror.

The manager asked, "Little boy, how do you feel when you hold it?"

feel?

Su Ninglong thought for a moment and said, "This isn't the work of one person. It should have been created by six people separately and then pieced together. It's a very unsuccessful work."

Everyone: "..." Who asked you this, and how did you figure it out?

[At such a young age, yet you boast so boldly. Under a microscope, this mirror of my true self fits perfectly, with no gaps. It's impossible.]

[Who is this guy above? Has he also tried the Real Self Mirror? ]

[She actually said the holy weapon was "bird-like". How arrogant! Can she forge it?]

[Maozi, what are you waiting for? Criticize this naughty kid.]

Please, don't let the children touch cultural relics. If they can talk nonsense in front of the camera, who knows how many lies they will tell behind their backs.

【Blowing, children love to blow. 】

How can the comments section be so malicious towards a child? She just expressed her opinion. If this were an adult, your first question would probably be to ask her why, rather than accusing her of being arrogant and saying that children don't deserve to have more knowledge than you.

The live broadcast comment section was filled with curses, but it did not affect reality.

"I mean, can you use it?" The manager said, "Once the holy artifact meets the right person, it can be controlled."

"Control?" It was a pity that the magic weapon was covered in dust. But this thing was not something that ordinary hunters could use.

Su Ninglong held it in one hand and input spiritual fire.

The spiritual fire flowed between the mirrors, and bronze powder fell from the mirror bodies, slowly revealing their true appearance.

Mao Xi was shocked: "What...what happened?"

He aimed his camera at the True Self Mirror, allowing the audience in the live broadcast room to clearly see the transformation process of the True Self Mirror.

The place where the little hand touched transformed into a mixture of gold and silver, and the appearance of six animal heads also appeared, majestic and domineering.

However, there was no light in the eyes of the beast head, and it had lost its original function.

It could also be that her spiritual energy supply is insufficient.

【Who said they were talking nonsense?】

【Ahhh, this is so pretty, I want the same one. 】

[It has an antique charm. Looking at it, I feel like I am having a conversation with the ancients.]

[The things in the museum can randomly shock hundreds of visitors every day.]

[Our ancestors' aesthetic taste is all about fragrance. Even I, living in the interstellar age, find it absolutely stunning.]

[The comment section has returned to normal. Those who just scolded the child should come out now.]

【Good job, you can speak more. I am waiting for your explanation. 】

Mao Xi pressed on, "What's going on? Can you explain?" His camera was about to face Su Ninglong's face, and Xing Yuan blocked it, preventing Su Ninglong from appearing on camera. "Mr. Mao, please pay attention to your emotions and your equipment."

"Sorry." Mao Xi controlled the live camera and stared at the mirror, repeating the question he had just asked.

"I don't know. This is my first time coming into contact with it." She hasn't figured out the effect of this thing yet, and it's not convenient for her to explain it for fear of explaining it wrongly.

"Impossible, you know how to use it the first time you touch it?"

"You know how to use the robot in your home after you get it, but do you know how it works?" Old Ancestor Su got angry and spoke with sarcasm and strength, intending to scold him for two more rounds.

Xing Yuan covered her mouth and said, "Alright, alright, don't be angry. There's no need to be angry over someone you just met."

Mao Xi also realized that he was too impatient. He had always wanted to work in the hunter circle, but this circle was too dangerous and could not be entered easily.

Most hunters are loners, not because they want to be loners, but because many people cannot understand their work.

Old Ancestor Su also has an unpredictable personality. She can be friendly with you one moment and then give you a sour face the next.

A very typical hunter character.

The manager said, "Since you can use it, we will transfer the True Self Mirror back to the Star Alliance Academy. You can then rent it with your points."

Su Ninglong didn't think much of it. "Do I still need to rent this thing? Can the principal let me use it directly?"

Haiyu said jokingly, "You can ask the principal, but what can you do that the principal can give you for free?"

Xing Yuan was nervous, afraid that she would answer by asking about making a few more holy artifacts.

It was not appropriate to do it in public. She said she would keep a low profile, but she ended up exposing it herself, making it difficult to negotiate with the principal.

"If he agrees to let me use it for free, I can stop replacing his sour lemon candies with sweet ones."

Everyone: "..."

"You replaced the principal's candy?" Haiyu burst into laughter. He could already imagine the principal's frustrated look.

"Yes, the principal is very powerful. My classmates all say that if you eat the principal's candy, you will be as powerful as him. I am superstitious, so I believe it." Su Ninglong said it without any other meaning, simply wanting everyone else to feel the taste of oral explosion.
