Give Star Iron a little MC shock

What is this intended to do?

However, as a qualified guide, Tingyun naturally wouldn't inquire about Xinghe's purpose in buying lava, but simply smiled and pointed him in the right direction.

"Bookstores are everywhere, and as for lava, if you keep going straight down this street and then turn right, there's a blacksmith shop that has lava, but I don't know if the craftsmen will sell it. Besides that, you can go to the Bureau of Works, where there's a lot of lava. I do know some people there, and I can ask them to share some lava with you, sir."

Xing He waved his hand. It was just a little lava; it wasn't worth making Tingyun go all the way to the Construction Bureau to ask for it. That would be too much trouble. Besides, it was better not to let the Luofu officials know what he was going to build, so as not to make them nervous.

"Thank you for your guidance, Miss Tingyun. I can go by myself."

"Well then, I'll take my leave now and come to pick you up early tomorrow morning."

After Tingyun left, March 7 asked Walter with some confusion, "Uncle Yang, are we really just going to rest like this tonight? There's not much time left before the star core erupts. Is it really okay for us to rest so leisurely?"

"We're the only ones taking a break."

Walter adjusted his glasses and looked toward the Shence Mansion: "I imagine the Cloud Cavalry will be searching all night for Star Core Hunters, Star Core Transporters, and the whereabouts of Star Cores; if it were me, I wouldn't let outside forces run around for my own affairs either."

"But wouldn't it feel a bit awkward if we just rested like this?"

"Conserving your energy is one way to improve efficiency. You two are still young and need to rest. I will continue the investigation tonight."

"Oh well."

With Walter in charge, March 7th was naturally at ease. She then turned to Xing He and asked, "Xing He, what about you? Are you going out to buy something now? I'm not going with you this time. I haven't had a good night's sleep since Yalilo came back."

Xing He smiled and nodded: "Go to sleep, I'll be back after I buy some things."

March 7th nodded and turned to walk into the inn. Walter also told Xing He, "Come back and rest early."

"Ok."

After saying goodbye to the two, Xing He followed the direction Ting Yun pointed and soon saw a bookstore still open, named Sanyu Bookstore.

Xing He stepped forward and saw a pageboy sitting behind the counter, dozing off. He then raised his hand and tapped on the counter.

The pageboy woke up instantly and, seeing a guest, quickly put on a smile.

"Sir, are you here to borrow or buy books? Do you have any favorite works?"

"Buy books, any kind of books will do, give me 48."

A fully upgraded enchanting table requires sixteen bookshelves, with three books per bookshelf, totaling 48 books.

"Any book?"

The page boy scratched his head, somewhat puzzled: "Sir, you're really strange. I've never heard of such a request before."

"There are plenty of people with strange requests, I'm in a hurry," Xing He urged.

After buying the books, he still needs to find lava to build a Nether portal and go to the lower realm.

"Okay, please wait a moment. Since you said any book is fine, I'll give you some books that nobody wants. Of course, you'll get a discount on these!"

"Okay, okay, go quickly."

Xing He urged him on and then leaned against the counter to wait.

However, Xing He wanted to buy 48 books, which made it difficult for the page to choose, and he couldn't decide for a while.

Just as Xing He was getting a little bored while waiting, a blond man in white slowly walked to the counter and gently knocked on it.

"Boss, do you have any interesting books today?"

The shop assistant popped out from the pile of books and called out to the man, "Sir, you can take a look at the books displayed on the counter. If you're interested in any of them, just let me know."

The blond man smiled and nodded, then picked up a book for display and began to look through it.

Xing He glanced at the person briefly before looking away.

Soon after, another woman of ordinary appearance came over, but instead of calling out to the busy page in the shop, she picked up a sample book and began to read it herself.

After a few rustling sounds of turning pages, the woman suddenly spoke.

"Sigh, this shop is really something. The books that were supposed to be delivered a while ago have not arrived yet. It's really making us wait."

The blond man, Rakshasa, continued reading intently, casually replying, "Madam, why don't you wait a little longer? After all, it's normal for logistics companies to encounter accidents during delivery, such as being robbed or the package spontaneously combusting."

"and many more?"

The woman closed the book with displeasure: "I've been looking forward to the ending of the story. Without that book, how am I supposed to see what happens next? Besides, this was something that was agreed upon beforehand. It should have been handled by the logistics company, not made me, the customer, wait any longer, right?"

Luosha couldn't help but give a wry smile: "Many logistics companies have also pointed out in their notices that there may be force majeure events, right, madam?"

"So, what are the logistics companies doing now?"

"They might be searching the whole city for a lost package with a sword in hand. If there were surveillance cameras to help, it might be faster."

Xing He, who was leaning against the counter looking at the MOD store out of boredom, couldn't help but be drawn in by the conversation between the two passersby.

It is human nature to watch the fun.

only......

Xing He looked at the two names displayed on the minimap with a strange expression. One was [Rakshasa], and the other was [Great Lord of Annihilation - Illusion].

No, sister?

Is it really okay for an ordinary woman like you to have such a boss-like name?

What if some player mistakes you for a boss and attacks you?

At the same time Xing He noticed Huan Long, Huan Long also noticed Xing He.

After all, apart from the pageboy, these three were the only customers in the bookstore.

Huanlong was stunned when he saw it.

What normal human body could possibly contain two stellar cores?!

Huanlong coughed lightly twice, subtly reminding Luosha, "If we can't find the book we originally bought, shouldn't the logistics company compensate me with a new one? Or should they offer double the compensation for the lost book?"

Rakshasa was somewhat confused, but still nodded.

"I think the logistics company will do its best."

While the two were playing riddles, the pageboy finally managed to organize the 48 books that Xing He needed and painstakingly placed them on the counter.

"Hey, sir, I'll give you a 20% discount on the 48 books you requested. That'll be a total of 20,000 credits."

Xing He quickly paid the bill, then reached out and gathered all the books piled high on the counter into his backpack.

Although he really wanted to continue watching the spectacle between the man and the woman, business had to take precedence.

Not long after Xing He left, Huan Long didn't pretend anymore. He casually flicked his finger and knocked out the page behind the counter, then leaned lazily against the counter.

"Hey kid, did you see that little guy just now?"

Luosha turned her head and glanced at Xing He, who was about to disappear at the end of the street: "What's wrong?"

"He has two star cores inside him. Heh, so he must be the nameless guest. If you can't get the original star core back, you can take the one inside him. I'm not picky."

"The nameless passenger on the Star Train? I think I should go find the original one first."

Luosha closed the book and turned to leave. Huanlong watched him leave, snorted coldly, and then snapped his fingers. Two strange humanoid figures, seemingly wearing plant armor, walked out.

"Go and tell your master that if you want to obtain an immortal body, go and deal with that nameless guest. He also has a star core inside him."

The two strange humanoid figures nodded and disappeared back into the darkness.

Huanlong looked at the street corner where Xinghe had disappeared, then raised a finger and touched her lips.

"Hmm, to be able to safely store two star cores in your body, interesting... Since you can do something like this, these little guys shouldn't be a problem for you either, right? Hehe, maybe I can get close to you and see some interesting things."

————————————————————————————

After buying the books, Xing He rushed to the nearest blacksmith shop before nightfall.

As for what Tingyun had said about the large amount of magma in the Engineering Bureau, he did not intend to go there.

Fortunately, Xing He arrived just in time; the blacksmith shop was still open.

"Oh, sir, coming here in the middle of the night, are you here to order some kind of knives or cookware?"

A shirtless, burly man greeted them with a smile as soon as he saw them arrive.

Xing He said directly, "Boss, give me ten buckets of lava."

"what?"

The big man was a bit confused. It was the first time he had ever heard of someone going to a blacksmith's shop to buy lava. Was this stuff valuable?

The burly man immediately shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry, sir, this thing isn't worth much. If I sell it to you, our blacksmith shop will be out of business. We still have a batch of goods to finish tonight."

"Ten thousand credits."

"Sir, this isn't about money..."

"One hundred thousand."

"Please go ahead, boss!"

The burly man immediately changed his tune and eagerly invited Xing He into the blacksmith's shop.

Xing He casually put down a workbench and used the iron ingots he had previously made ten iron buckets. Anyway, he didn't lack iron for the time being, so he could splurge a little.

Xing He quickly scooped up ten iron buckets and plunged them into the lava. In no time, the blacksmith's shop was completely emptied of lava.

The burly man, who had originally intended to ask Xing He how to pack the lava, was suddenly astonished and opened his mouth wide.

Xing He ignored his seriousness, instead pulling out an axe, quickly retrieving the workbench, and then leaving behind 100,000 credits before swaggering away.

The burly man held the 100,000 credits left by Xing He in his hand, marveling at their value.

"I've really met a remarkable person tonight."

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Xing He turned towards a remote place, until he stopped in a place where no one's name was even displayed on the mini-map. He then took out his pickaxe and chiseled two blocks into the ground.

"The construction of Hell Gate shouldn't have any impact."

While Xing He was busy creating the Gate of Hell, a group of people quietly peeked out from behind the wall in the distance.
