The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

Yan Cong didn't hesitate, and the two exchanged contact information.

After adding the ingredients, he headed straight for the weapon-refining tower.

There was a long queue outside the tower.

Many of the team members are young people.

Some were carrying bags.

Some were carrying ore.

Some people were even engrossed in reading "Five Years of Iron Forging and Three Years of Tempering," a book they bought online.

Clearly, he wasn't the only one who wanted to get rich through weapon crafting.

The elderly woman at the entrance, who was in charge of distributing time-limited tokens, was already used to this.

"Next!"

Someone came out from ahead.

The woman took the token and casually handed a new one to the next person.

The line moved forward little by little, and before long it was Yan Cong's turn.

The older woman glanced at his face.

Oh wow.

Another new face.

So she mentioned it again.

"New here?"

"Um."

Yan Cong nodded.

The woman handed him the token.

"Newcomer, remember this."

"Two hours of free time per day."

"Only the lower three levels of the weapon-refining room can be used."

"If you want to continue after the time limit has expired, you can pay extra."

"You'll find out the rest once you go in."

"it is good."

Yan Cong took the token and walked through the tower gate.

The moment I stepped inside, the air seemed to shift, and a wave of heat hit my face.

When I opened my eyes again, all I could see were red and black.

The weapon-refining rooms are arranged in concentric circles along the tower wall. The higher you go, the larger the rooms become, and the brighter the runes on the doors become.

The sound of ping-pong balls hitting the metal came from all directions.

Flames shot out through the crack in the door.

The air was filled with the smells of rust, flint, soot, and red-hot metal.

Yan Cong glanced down at the token.

"309".

He chuckled.

"I guess you could say I got a top-tier room right from the start."

As he walked up to the third floor, he recalled the knowledge that the level-two weapon refiner had taught him online.

All weapon-refining towers across the country offer two hours of free time.

However, the free area is only on the bottom three floors.

Each time you come in, you get a different token, and the room is different too.

The larger the room, the higher the temperature of the furnace fire, and the faster the melting speed.

But apart from that, the differences are not significant.

Because the materials, casting platform, quenching tank, and special tools all have to be paid for by ourselves.

Not long after.

Yan Cong arrived at the door of room 309.

The door is made of black and red stone with patterns that look like it has been burned at high temperatures, and there is a groove in the middle of the door.

Yan Cong pressed the token on.

"Rumble..."

The stone gate was raised upwards.

It was actually a single, thick stone slab.

Yan Cong went inside.

There is a second door inside.

The difference this time was that what was blocking the way was a silver-white steel door.

"boom!"

The stone door behind them closed, and the small space of a few square meters instantly darkened, keeping the heat out.

However, the surroundings were strangely quiet.

A few seconds later, the hidden lights above their heads turned on.

The silver-white wall directly in front of them also lit up.

A smart AI assistant appeared on the screen.

"Hello there."

"I am Xiao Ai, the intelligent assistant in room 309 of the 9999th Refinement Tower."

……

"Alright!"

Yan Cong interrupted him directly.

He felt dizzy looking at it.

All I see is money.

"OK."

Xiao Ai maintained her standard smile.

"Excuse me, which package did you choose...?"

Yan Cong did not answer immediately.

"Before that, let me ask one more question."

"Do you charge for the basic forging theory of ordinary soldiers and low-level combat soldiers?"

"We don't accept them!"

"You can learn and observe these things after you enter the secret room."

"However, electronic devices and recording devices such as photo booths are not allowed inside!"

"Okay then."

Yan Cong nodded.

Xiao Ai's eyes lit up.

"Then you choose..."

Yan Cong took out his bank card and patted the steel door.

His face was full of pride.

"Give me two hours to learn and observe first!"

"Okay, please pay here..."

Xiao Ai was only halfway through her sentence.

Yan Cong frowned.

"Pay for what?"

"Isn't it free?"

He looked at me like I was an idiot.

Xiao Ai's lips twitched slightly, but she maintained her smile.

However, that smile seemed somewhat forced.

"OK."

"Please place electronic devices or similar items on the desktop, and you can enter by scanning."

Yan Cong did as instructed.

Cell phone, watch, bank cards, and handbag were all placed on the small table next to him.

Immediately afterwards, a green light swept across his body, but no alarm sounded.

"Sizzle..."

The silver-white door opened, and white mist poured out from the cracks.

Yan Cong stepped inside.

The moment the door closed.

Xiao Ai, number 309, suddenly jumped up on the screen.

She raised her hand and tapped the left side of the screen.

"Bang bang bang!"

"What's wrong? Number 309?"

On the screen next door, an identical AI agent peeked out.

Xiao Ai, number 309, grabbed her and started babbling.

"Number 308, I have something to tell you..."

"A freeloader just showed up!"

"I'm so angry..."

"Thank goodness I went on and on explaining all that!"

"Number 308, do you even know what it means to get something for free?"

"You don't pay for prostitution?"
