keep?
That's definitely too conservative!
Looking at the three-digit weight bead, Wang Dongqi remained silent for a long time.
"Uh... Master Wang, can the knife still be made?" Seeing that Wang Dongqi didn't speak, Shen Mo said, "I can pay more."
"I can't do it..."
'
Wang Dongqi snapped out of his daze, and his usually aloof expression turned slightly helpless as he said, "I'm just an intermediate-level magic armorer. Although I've managed to make two excellent-grade swords by sheer luck, I don't yet have the ability to make one that meets your requirements."
Shen Mo felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.
After thinking for a moment, he took out the Fly Demon Crystal and said, "Does anyone in your workshop have the ability to make one? I'd like to order another one."
Upon seeing the Fly Demon Crystal, Wang Dongqi's eyes widened. After a moment, he said regretfully, "I'll ask around for you tomorrow... But, do you still want the knife we're making now?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Mo pondered for a moment.
It's uncertain how long it will take to remake the longsword, so it's better to use this excellent-quality one for now. He nodded and said, "Let's get it made first."
"Okay." Wang Dongqi nodded, then said to Shen Mo, "Your knife won't be fixed until tomorrow. Why don't you wander around for a while?"
Shen Mo didn't intend to stay at the Rose Workshop any longer.
I chose a piece of excellent quality scale armor with E-grade sturdiness, magic resistance, and magic control enchantments, as well as F-grade invigoration and shackle-breaking enchantments.
He then took his leave and rushed to the Demon Hunter Association with Mu Li.
He still had 9 points left and wanted to choose some suitable combat skills.
After explaining his needs to the teller, and after some selection, Shen Mo spent 8 points to exchange for two Tier 1 combat skills.
One is a movement-based combat skill: Flash Step.
Combat skill effects provide a momentary speed boost when the user moves, changes direction, or dodges.
Another combat skill is called Piercing Thrust, which has armor-piercing and magic-piercing bonuses against "thrust" type attacks.
It is a very versatile combat technique that can be used with any weapon that can be used to stab, such as knives, swords, and spears.
Shen Mo hesitated a bit when making his choice.
Because the Piercing Thrust is unlikely to be able to be combined with combat skills such as Sky-Piercing Slash and Crescent Slash.
Ultimately, I chose it mainly to enrich my swordsmanship skills and to use it in conjunction with the penetrating technique.
He currently lacks the kind of attack method that can break through the entire area by targeting a single point.
Every time they grab a knife, it's either severing limbs or beheading; it's too brutal and bloody.
The reason Shen Mo didn't save those 8 points to buy a second-tier combat skill was because he felt the advantage of combo skills.
Piercing Strike won't work, but Flash Step can probably be combined with Sprint.
At that time, we might be able to obtain another movement technique that is comparable to a third-tier technique, but consumes far less magic power and enhancement points than a third-tier technique.
Secondly, since a second-tier combat skill requires at least 15 points, it's better to convert the resources at hand into combat power first.
After all, just 15 points of combat skill enhancement are enough to upgrade a Tier 1 combat skill to perfection, thus bringing about a qualitative change.
It's very cost-effective.
After selecting their combat skills, Shen Mo took Mu Li back to Ninghe Residential Area.
The family was pleasantly surprised by his sudden return.
The surprise stemmed from Shen Mo's noticeable physical change—the joy came from Shen Mo's safe return.
However, the family was quite surprised when they saw Mu Li.
The main surprise was that Shen Mo, who was always honest and unassuming, would bring a girl home.
Shen Huiying gave Shen Mo a mischievous smile, her gaze sweeping over Mu Li from head to toe.
But after Mu Li took off her mask and glasses and greeted everyone.
The family stood there stunned, at a loss for what to do and speechless... It took them a while to come to their senses.
They then gestured for Mu Li to sit down, and some poured water while others washed fruit.
After a chaotic scene, they stood around in the living room, staring at each other, speechless.
"Mu Li... my teammate," Shen Mo explained to his family. "She might have to stay at home for a while."
He told a lie to fool his family.
But what to do with Mu Li became a new problem.
The apartment is 50 square meters and has only two small bedrooms.
Shen Mo has a room to himself, while the other master bedroom is divided in two by a large wardrobe and is occupied by his parents and Shen Lang. Shen Huiying is squeezed onto the balcony by herself.
He refused to let his parents give up their room.
Shen Mo arranged for Mu Li to rest in his bedroom, while he planned to spend the night on the sofa in the living room.
I'll go check again when I have time to see if there's a bigger house.
Looking at this cramped space, Shen Mo is thinking about buying a house again.
As his income increased, he also wanted a better living environment; otherwise, nothing was convenient for him.
late at night.
While other districts were under curfew, the north gate of Dusk Valley slowly opened.
A magic oil carriage drove into the city, traveled along some secluded paths for a while, and finally entered a manor.
A moment later.
In the high-rise conference room at the center of the manor, the family's senior executives began to gather.
The middle-aged man sitting in the center, seeing that everyone had arrived, looked around the room and said with a serious expression, "You should all know about the Desolate City Laboratory, so I won't go into details."
This incident not only caused huge losses to the family, but also destroyed years of research, leaving only some data and unfinished products.
The reason I've called everyone here today is to discuss whether the research project on the Beast Blood Potion should continue.
After he finished speaking, the reception room fell silent for a moment.
Snapped!
One of them slammed his hand on the sofa chair, his face contorted with anger, and demanded, "Who did this? Are there any clues?"
"There are some, but not many, and it's rather troublesome to check," one person replied.
"We can't just let this go!" the man roared. "Such a huge loss deserves an explanation!"
"This is not the time to discuss this," the middle-aged man corrected. "What we need to determine now is whether the Beast Blood Potion project should continue."
"I don't think it's necessary to continue."
"We've already invested so much, how can we give up?"
"Has all that investment yielded any results?"
"I disagreed with this project from the start!"
"But I heard that there are similar research projects in the surrounding area, and they have made good progress."
After some discussion, the topic was finally put on hold with the suspension of the research project, the resignation of the elder in charge of the project, and disciplinary action against the relevant personnel.
Then, everyone's attention shifted to what happened next.
"The killer was clearly targeting the lab, and might be connected to those companies."
You should investigate the witchers and hunting parties they sponsor.
I also have a list of tasks for today's Witcher, Witcher Team, and Witcher Guild in the south of the city.
Someone will be assigned to conduct screening and investigation.

The middle-aged man had his assistant place the list on the table, then said with a headache, "I've already sent someone to inform Jiang Yuan about what happened here."
The annihilation of the entire squad is a significant blow to the Viper Hunting Group, and this venomous snake will likely be difficult to deal with.
But the Viper Hunting Group is the strongest among our funding targets.
To maintain the cooperative relationship, some sacrifices are inevitable.
"Who among you is willing to go to Longyuan City to negotiate with Jiang Yuan?"
Before anyone could answer, a man strode into the reception room and whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear.
The middle-aged man's expression turned somewhat serious as a result...
