Ten years later, the movie queen wants a divorce from me.

"Of course, since it's on display, it's for sale."

"how much is it?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment: "If I were to sell it to someone else, I would price this knife at 3800. But if you want it, sir, I'll give you the cost price and charge you 2800, is that alright?"

Upon hearing this price, everyone in the live stream was somewhat taken aback.

A kitchen knife for 2800?

Or is it the cost price?

Not to mention netizens, even Wang Xinyuan herself was somewhat surprised.

Is it really that expensive?

Fang Yi, on the other hand, smiled and nodded when he heard the price: "That's fine. 2800, that's a very fair price."

Regardless of the price of top-grade high-carbon steel, the cost of hand-forging this kitchen knife alone would take two to three days for two people. Considering the labor costs, the price is indeed not high.

Fang Yi was about to pay when he took out his phone and suddenly paused.

He had forgotten that they were still on a TV show, and if he wanted to use it, he would have to spend his meager savings, which made him feel awkward.

Using money from a slush fund is definitely out of the question.

However, it's not convenient to pay directly with one's own money right now.

"Boss, as you can see, we're filming a show here right now. Could you leave the knife here for now, and I'll buy it from you later after filming is finished?"

The middle-aged man naturally noticed the crew members and, understanding, replied with a smile, "It's alright, I'll keep it for you."

"Okay, okay, boss, don't worry, I'll definitely come back to buy it after the show is finished."

The middle-aged man just smiled and didn't say anything more.

He was not good with words and didn't say anything polite.

However, after finishing his own business, Fang Yi thought of his exploration challenge and casually asked, "Boss, do you know where Zhou Botong, the Old Urchin, is?"

Upon hearing this question, the two people in the shop exchanged a glance but did not speak immediately.

Fang Yi's eyes lit up; this was promising.

"Boss, don't worry, if you can help us find clues, we can also pay you."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and laughed, "No need for payment. If you really want to know, you have to do something for us. And, after it's done, you'll receive a reward based on the degree of completion."

This was a project arranged by the production team, and the boss readily agreed.

Wang Xinyuan, standing nearby, immediately beamed with joy and quickly asked, "What is it?"

The middle-aged man didn't speak, but the young man beside him pointed to the steel billet he had just half-forged and said, "Next, we're going to forge a weapon. If you'd like, you can help us."

"Blacksmithing?"

Wang Xinyuan was stunned when she heard this.

"you sure?"

Fang Yi, on the other hand, had a sudden flash of inspiration.

"Of course, although we won't ask for that much, the minimum requirement is that you must complete the general shape and outline."

As they spoke, the young man took out a picture.

Fang Yi recognized it at a glance: "A Miao sword?"

The young man wasn't surprised; it's normal for men to know about cold weapons. He nodded and said, "That's right, it's a Miao Dao."

The Miao Dao is one of the most advanced weapons in the era of cold weapons in China, with a history of more than two thousand years.

The Miao knife is five feet long, with a blade three feet eight inches long, a handle one foot two inches long, and a blade width of one inch two fen. The handguard is round or oval.

It is mainly divided into three parts: the handle, the guard, and the blade. The blade can be further divided into three parts: the tip, the front edge, and the back edge.

The blade is long and slender, combining the characteristics of both knives and spears, and can be used with one or two hands.

When used in combat, it employs a rapid and swift attack, with the body and blade moving in unison, unstoppable and extremely lethal.

At its peak, the famous general Qi Jiguang learned this sword technique and passed it on to his subordinates for use in charging into battle.

However, forging a Miao sword is no simple task.

Let alone Fang Yi and Wang Xinyuan, even a professional blacksmith would need three to five years of dedicated practice to forge this Miao sword properly.

Seemingly understanding the key point, the young man kept explaining that all that was needed was to create a general outline and shape. Moreover, to avoid any misunderstanding, he also mentioned that he and his father would assist throughout the process.

The young man's name was Lu Xiu, and the middle-aged man's name was Lu Ming.

Even so, many people in the live stream were still posting various comments:

Making celebrities forge swords? The production team, you're really showing off!

[I might not say anything if you were making a kitchen knife, but making a Miao knife? Are you kidding me?]

As they said, all we need to do is create a general outline.

I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing if Fang Yi can forge a sword.

If Fang Yi could forge swords, I'd wash my hair while doing a handstand.

[To the person upstairs: I could eat shit while standing upside down.]

Although I'm looking forward to it, I'm not optimistic at all.

This is practically an impossible task.

I believe in Fang Yi as much as I believe the West cannot be Jerusalem.

[Upstairs, what's the connection between Jerusalem and Fang Yi?]

……

Even with their guidance, Wang Xinyuan still felt completely overwhelmed and utterly bewildered.

Asking a woman to do blacksmithing is something she has absolutely no idea about.

However, before she could say anything, she saw Fang Yi already coming to the materials area to select materials.

At that moment, a commotion came from not far away.

Turning her head, Wang Xinyuan unexpectedly saw Mingming and Liu Yukai's group.

When Wang Xinyuan saw them, the two of them also saw Wang Xinyuan at the same time.

Without the slightest hesitation, Mingming took the lead and walked towards Wang Xinyuan.

"Sister Yuanyuan."

Before she even arrived, Mingming greeted everyone with enthusiastic voices.

"Mingming".

Approaching Wang Xinyuan, Mingming asked with a smile, "Sister Yuanyuan, when did you arrive?"

"Oh, we just arrived too."

"So, what's going on here?"

"Do the task."

Wang Xinyuan didn't think much of it and directly told everyone about the task she was doing.

Upon hearing this, Mingming's eyes lit up immediately. Was there a mission here?

That's a good feeling.

However, upon hearing that they were going to stay here to forge iron, he hesitated.

Forging iron was a huge headache for her too.

However, on a whim, Mingming quickly looked at Lu Ming and Lu Xiu in the blacksmith shop and sweetly asked, "Master, do you know where Huang Yaoshi is?"

Lu Ming was older and didn't recognize Mingming. He also didn't react when he heard about a mission he had never heard of before.

Lu Xiu, on the other hand, was quite excited.

Being a young person, she naturally knew Mingming.

However, after reviewing the training materials, they also learned that, based on the task card, they were unable to answer this question.

Helpless, Lu Xiu could only shake her head and say, "I'm sorry, we don't know."

Mingming was a little surprised and asked, "Why? Didn't Sister Yuanyuan receive her mission here?"

Just as Lu Xiu was about to say something, she suddenly noticed the gaze of director Liu Qingqing and immediately realized what was happening.

"I'm sorry, we really don't know."

Mingming looked at Lu Xiu, and seeing that he still gave the same answer, she could only mutter helplessly, "Could it be because each person can only receive a quest from one NPC?"

Thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. So, after exchanging pleasantries with Wang Xinyuan, he quickly left with the program crew.

On the other side, Yang Yiyi's group and Mingming's group arrived one after the other.

However, they were heading in a different direction than Mingming, and therefore, they didn't encounter Wang Xinyuan.
