But what if Gu Ci gets into trouble because of her?

Wen Lili is very angry now.

The shop owner was obviously embarrassed and explained, "I'm sorry, I really have no other choice, so I said this..."

Seeing that Wen Lili was not giving up and was about to scold her, Gu Ci waved his hand to stop her and asked the store owner: "What happened? If I can help, just ask."

You know, the Lingbao Tang Dao was bought from here.

And it only cost a very small price.

But when the shop owner later found out that he had found a bargain, he did not show any regret, nor did he raise the price again. Instead, he felt that it was Gu Ci's ability to have the vision to find a bargain.

So in this matter, he owed the other party a favor, and he would be happy to do so if he could help the other party.

Upon hearing this, the shop owner was so moved that tears came to his eyes.

Hastily said:

"It's like this. Actually, my forging skills are not very high..."

"what?"

As soon as these words came out, Wen Lili and Lu Xinyi were shocked. The Treasure Pavilion had a reputation of doing high-end business, and everyone in J City knew about it. But now they were suddenly told that the shop owner, who was a weaponsmith, was not very skilled!

Especially Wen Lili, it was she who brought Gu Ci here to buy weapons.

Fortunately, Gu Ci later chose a magic weapon, but what if he didn't? Given the level of the store owner, would Gu Ci have been cheated?

Combined with what happened just now, Wen Lili was already very angry at the moment.

But Gu Ci waved his hand to stop him and signaled the shop owner to continue.

The shop owner gave Gu Ci a grateful look, "Although I really like the profession of weaponsmith, my talent is limited, so I have never been able to really get started. But don't worry, the weapons in my shop are not defective! But these weapons are not made by me..."

He paused and continued:

"I bought these weapons from other weapon shops, and then I used the name of only doing high-end business to drive up the price of the weapons and make a profit from the difference."

Hearing this, Lu Xinyi and Wen Lili's expressions were not very good either.

They also bought a lot of weapons here.

But now the shop owner told them that he had bought those weapons from somewhere else and raised the price.

Although they are rich, it is different from being willing to be taken advantage of.

"and then?"

Gu Ci continued to ask.

He did not feel any hatred towards the shop owner because of this incident. After all, there was the incident of the Lingbao Tang Sword that day.

Just imagine, if the shop owner was really the kind of person who was only interested in making dirty money, he would not have let him take the Lingbao Tang Sword away at such a cheap price that day.

"Then, the reputation of the Treasure Pavilion spread, but the Weaponsmith Guild checked and found that I was not registered with the Weaponsmith Guild, so they asked me to attend the Weaponsmith Conference tonight to prove my weaponsmithing ability."

As he spoke, the shop owner lowered his head, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he looked at Gu Ci for help.

"I want you to participate as my apprentice. Then I will say that I suffered a backlash when forging weapons and will not be able to forge weapons in the short term. As long as you can pass the test, then of course I, as your master, will not be suspected."

After hearing the whole story, Gu Ci finally understood.

But thinking about his own situation, he still said, "My master once told me that I can't demonstrate the weapon forging techniques in the outside world."

Hearing this, the shop owner quickly said:

"It's okay, it's okay. This kind of thing is very normal in the weapon forging world, so we will prepare a special weapon forging room for you at the conference. Privacy will be guaranteed!"

Hearing this, Gu Ci no longer hesitated.

He nodded in agreement immediately.

Seeing this, the shop owner was so excited that tears filled his eyes.

You know, he wanted Gu Ci to appear as his apprentice, and for a genius like Gu Ci, who was young and a fifth-level warrior and a weaponsmith, he originally thought that Gu Ci would not agree, so he prepared a considerable reward...

At this moment, he directly handed a storage ring to Gu Ci.

"Thank you, Gu Ci, but I can't let you help me for nothing. I have been sending people to look for the materials you asked me to find last time. It didn't take long, and I only found one. I hope you don't mind."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ci's eyes lit up.

Repair materials for Lingbao Tang Dao!

He quickly let his consciousness enter the storage space, and saw a mountain of money, which should be hundreds of millions, and there were also a lot of forging materials and weapons. Among those forging materials, the system easily found the target.

[Repair materials for Lingbao Tang Dao detected! 】

The system's voice sounded in my mind.

Gu Ci was extremely excited. He didn’t expect that he had already obtained the repair materials before even going to the Blacksmith Conference!

It seems that finding repair materials is not as difficult as you think.

but……

Gu Ci suddenly thought of something and pondered the possibility in his mind. Not long after, he turned to look at the shop owner and asked, "If I can achieve good results in the conference, will your status in the forging industry be higher?"

"Of course!" the shop owner replied excitedly.

To be honest, although his forging skills are not very good, his status in the forging world is indeed not bad.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to get so many high-level weapons.

It was just that because he failed to register in the Weaponsmith Guild, and he knew in his heart that he was not a real weaponsmith, he had never dared to develop into the core of the weaponsmith world. If Gu Ci helped him get good results in the conference, then he would have truly stepped into the core of the weaponsmith world!

Hearing the other party say this, Gu Ci's thoughts began to become active.

He has already realized how difficult it is to find repair materials, and in the coming period, his main goal is to improve his strength, so he cannot spend too much time looking for materials.

If he could improve the status of the shop owner and ask him to help him find repair materials, wouldn't it save him a lot of worry?

Immediately, Gu Ci told the shop owner what he was thinking.

After hearing Gu Ci's idea, the shop owner nodded in agreement.

He thought it was a big deal, but it was just a simple task. Even if Gu Ci hadn't asked him to do it, he had been helping Gu Ci find materials these past two days. However, because of his status, he only found this one after spending several days...

But if he had a higher status and connections in the weapon-forging world, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

Gu Ci laughed immediately.

"Okay, I'll help you with that!"

The shop owner was very excited, "Let's go now without further delay!"

After that, everyone left the Treasure Pavilion directly, took the shop owner's car, and headed towards the venue of the Equipment Forger Conference.
