Chapter 215 The Puppy Has No Cellphone
"I rely on..."

The fat man was stunned.

If Liu Yan's appearance had satisfied him greatly before, then Cheng Shuang, who appeared before him, was somewhat stunning.

After all, in terms of looks alone, Cheng Shuang belongs to the same category as Lin Qingying and Lu Xiaobei.

……

"Ding Han, it's been a long time." Cheng Shuang sat down next to me.

"Well, long time no see."

I glanced at her and said, "Cheng Shuang, what brings you to Huaining City?"

"Well..."

She didn't seem to have figured out how to answer the question yet.

Liu Yan, standing to the side, said, "Let me answer for her. Cheng Shuang accepted her family's arrangement and began to participate in the Cheng Group's projects. Now she lives in Huaining City and is in charge of two projects of the Cheng Group in Donghu District. One of these projects is the Donghu Villa District, and the other is the Donghu International Hotel. The reason why we chose to have dinner at the Xinrui Hotel today is because the Donghu International Hotel's benchmark competitor is this place, so we came here to check it out."

"Ah."

Cheng Shuang smiled at me and said, "So, I'll be staying in Donghu District for the next while. We can get together often when we have time."

"Ok."

I didn't know how to respond, so I said, "Let's eat first, let's eat first, we've been starving for so long."

"Okay, let's eat!"

So the four of them began to enjoy their dinner.

"Ding Han".

Liu Yan asked, "After dinner, do you and Yang Wei have any plans?"

"No."

"Why don't we go together? I haven't visited Cheng Shuang's office yet. Shall we go see where she works in a bit?"

Cheng Shuang smiled and nodded: "Sure~~~"

I didn't refuse, because the fat man gave me a look that suggested I wanted to see the world.

……

Around 7 o'clock, after finishing their meal, the four of them went downstairs.

Cheng Shuang was still driving her MC20 with the license plate "Ning A". Liu Yan seized the opportunity and said, "Ding Han, you ride in Cheng Shuang's car. Yang Wei, you'll have to make do and ride in my car."

"I can do it!"

Fatty happily got into Liu Yan's car, while I sat back in the passenger seat of the long-unseen MC20. Cheng Shuang drove steadily, slowly driving out of the Xinrui Hotel and heading east along the lakeside road. About five minutes later, we entered the basement of an office building.

The building had a large sign that read "Cheng's Group" on it, and behind it was a construction site. You could vaguely see that half of the houses in the area had already been built, all of them villas, either detached or terraced.

Just as Liu Yan said, Cheng's Group only does high-end real estate in this area of ​​Donghu, all of which are villas, not a single high-rise building.

In addition, a hotel is under construction by the lake and has already taken shape.

"Mr. Cheng!"

After we went upstairs, a woman who looked like an assistant came forward and led the way for us.

After entering the administrative area of ​​the office building, we came to an office with a sign that read "General Manager". It was Cheng Shuang's office. It was not as big as Lin Qingying's office, but it was not small either, and it was decorated very elegantly.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, Liu Yan gave the fat man a wink.

"Cough cough..."

The fat man stood up and patted my shoulder: "Ding Han, Liu Yan and I are going out for a walk. You and Cheng Shuang can chat for a while!"

"Ah."

The next moment, Fatty and Liu Yan left, leaving only Cheng Shuang and me in the office.

……

I got up, went to the window, and looked at the scenery outside.

Behind me, Cheng Shuang also came over and stood beside me in front of the French windows, saying, "The scenery of East Lake is beautiful, isn't it?"

"It is indeed beautiful."

"Ding Han..."

She parted her red lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Liu Yan has already told you about my situation, hasn't she?" she finally couldn't help but say.

"Ah."

I took a deep breath: "Cheng Shuang, your mother did say a lot of hurtful things to me, but it's okay. She said those things because she was limited by her own understanding and knowledge, so I won't hold it against her. Besides, I'm a grown man, and I'm quite resilient. I won't dwell on such trivial matters."

"I'm sorry, Ding Han..."

Cheng Shuang said softly, "I never imagined that I would cause you such great humiliation..."

Suddenly, she turned to look at me, her eyes filled with deep sorrow: "Are you upset that I didn't want to see you one last time back then?"

"That's not true."

I shook my head and smiled: "That's your choice, why should I blame you?"

"you……"

Cheng Shuang gritted her teeth: "I'm sorry..."

"That's all right."

I don't know why she keeps dwelling on this.

"forget it. I'm done here."

Cheng Shuang said, "There are some things I want to say, but when they reach my lips, they feel so pale and powerless..."

"You're too sentimental."

I glanced at her and said, "You should smile more; it makes life more colorful. By the way, since we've met, I have something I'd like to tell you."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

I glanced around and, after confirming there were no cameras in the office, reached into my interdimensional storage space and took out a sword—the Wind-Riding Sword.

"..."

Cheng Shuang showed a look of surprise.

But I didn't care. Actually, she probably already guessed that I was a player. Even if she hadn't, Qin Lang would have told her anyway, so there was no need to hide it from Cheng Shuang. "Brother Cheng Feng's sword."

I took a deep breath and, with a series of clicks, removed the scabbard from the blade, saying, "I've already acquired a stronger sword, so I don't need this one anymore. But since Brother Cheng Feng passed the Chengfeng Sword down to me, I won't abandon it. So I plan to attach the scabbard to the new sword and return the blade to you. What do you think?"

"The Wind-Riding Sword..."

Cheng Shuang held the sword with some difficulty and said, "It doesn't look very good without a scabbard."

"Yeah, I think so too."

I held out my hand and said, "Then give me back my sword. I'll have someone make a new scabbard, put it on, and then return it to you. How about that?"

"it is good."

Cheng Shuang immediately smiled and returned the Wind-Riding Sword. At that very moment, a bell rang in her ears—

[You have triggered the daily quest "Reforging the Wind-Riding Sword" (Rank A)! Quest objective: Reforge the scabbard for the Wind-Riding Sword and deliver it to Cheng Shuang. Completing the quest will reward you with a large amount of experience.]

……

'Tsk tsk!'

Looking at the quest rewards, I couldn't help but chuckle. Was it really just experience points? That's so uninspiring. But it doesn't matter. I'm currently aiming for level 50, so any experience points are worth it. It's better than wasting my time in the city.

So, he posted a message on the dark web in the Huaining area, seeking a swordsmith to make a new scabbard for his sword.

Unfortunately, the post disappeared without a trace.

Take it slow, keep asking around, maybe we'll get some news.

Around 10 o'clock.

Lin Qingying took a taxi back to her residence with the fat man. She got off work late, so she didn't wait for him and went to bed early after washing up.

"drop!"

When I logged into the dark web again, I received a private message from a player named "Qingmei Zhujiu": "Brother Zhuying, I do know a swordsmith in Huaining City named Huang Ye. He's in the industrial park. His phone number is 1348283****. That's all I can do for you."

"Okay, thanks!"

After replying to the private message, I immediately dialed the phone. An old man answered the phone. When I explained that I was willing to pay 5000 star coins to make a sword sheath, the old man agreed immediately and sent me his address.

The next morning, I took a taxi to the industrial park without stopping and found Mr. Huang Ye in an old workshop. When I took out the Wind Riding Sword, he looked serious and exclaimed, "What a fine sword!" Then he started looking for materials and began to tailor-make the hilt for the Wind Riding Sword right in front of me.

Inside the workshop, there were many tools, even machine tools.

"Grandpa, may I use your tools?" I asked.

"sure!"

The old man chuckled and said, "Young man, you can forge swords too?"

"Won't……"

I shook my head: "I can only fix simple things."

"oh oh……"

He couldn't be bothered with me anymore and focused on making the scabbard.

I went to the other side, took out the Wind Chaser, and disassembled the scabbard piece by piece. The scabbard of the power sword is special because it contains precision instruments such as a power field generator and an energy converter. If you want it to fit perfectly, you have to rework it.

Fortunately, these difficulties were no problem for me, as I possess expert-level repair skills. I quickly attached the hilt of the Wind Chaser Sword to the power sword, and it still looked incredibly cool.

In the afternoon, the old man's new scabbard was also installed. I spent another five hundred to buy an exquisite box and put the Wind Riding Sword in it.

Then head to Donghu District.

……

Cheng Shuang's office.

"It's all set up, take a look."

After placing the box on the coffee table, I casually picked up a piece of pastry and put it in my mouth.

"You didn't eat lunch, did you?"

Cheng Shuang looked at me with a surprised expression.

"I really haven't eaten..."

I smiled and said, "The sword-making workshop is so busy that we've lost track of time. Not only have I missed lunch, but even the sword-making masters haven't eaten."

"wait."

Cheng Shuang turned around and pressed a button on the phone, saying to her assistant, "Go to the restaurant and have them bring up an A-grade meal."

The next moment, the Wind-Riding Sword was returned, and a bell rang in my ears—

[You have completed the daily quest "Reforging the Wind-Riding Sword" (Rank A), and received the reward: 320 million character experience!]

……

Goodness, this quest reward is really simple and straightforward. There's nothing but character experience. This is the first time I've ever seen such a pure quest.

A few minutes later, the assistant brought over a very lavish meal from the Cheng Group.

"Eat first and then leave."

Cheng Shuang leaned on the coffee table in front of me, staring at me with her beautiful eyes.

"All right……"

I wolfed it down, wiped my mouth, and to be honest, it tasted a bit better than the boxed lunches in the alley behind Luo Mei.

……

I took a taxi back to Luomei to clock out.

"drop!"

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a WeChat message from Lu Xiaobei. She had only sent one picture: a puppy, with a background that looked like an ancient town in northern China.

"you……"

I sent a trembling emoji: "Don't tell me its name is Ding Han!"

"This one isn't called Ding Han."

Lu Xiaobei said, "I fed this little dog many times two years ago, but then it ran away from home to Xicheng and I never saw it again. Isn't that strange? Two years later, when I returned to the same place, it recognized me at a glance and wagged its tail like crazy. So..."

"So what?" I asked.

A few minutes later, she finally replied: "So the puppy doesn't have a cell phone, so it can only miss the puppy. But I'm different. I have a cell phone, so I can send a message when I miss a puppy."
