What a lucky world!

Chapter 106: What to do with a spear without a tip?
The next day.

It was a beautiful sunny day.

Zhang Mu got up early and found the Divine Weapon Pavilion according to the directions given by the inn waiter.

Located on Anning Avenue, the busiest street in Yongning City, the Divine Weapon Pavilion boasts five floors, with soaring eaves and corners, creating a grand and imposing atmosphere. Even early in the morning, it's still bustling with people, indicating brisk business.

As soon as Zhang Mu entered the Divine Weapon Pavilion, a pretty maid came to greet him. She bowed slightly and whispered softly, "Sir, are you here to buy weapons or to get them?"

Zhang Mu took out the certificate Lin Jinglong had given him from his pocket, handed it to him, and said, "Come and get it."

When the pretty maid saw the badge, her expression suddenly changed. Then she said more humbly, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will make the arrangements."

As she spoke, the pretty maid beckoned a servant over and whispered a few words to him, who then turned and left. Only then did the maid smile at Zhang Mu again and say, "Sir, the three floors below are where ordinary weapons are traded. The weapon you ordered is a combat weapon. Please follow me upstairs."

Zhang Mu nodded when he heard that, and the pretty maid led the way and took Zhang Mu upstairs.

……

When they were in the mountains, Shisan Niang and Zhang Mu had shared some common knowledge about weapons.

When Shisanniang asked Zhang Mu about his opinion on weapons, Zhang Mu wanted to show off, so he told him the martial arts truth of Mr. Jin -

"Falling leaves and flying flowers can hurt people!"

"Don't be stuck in external things, no sword is better than a sword!"

“A knife in the heart is better than a knife in the hand.”

then……

She was despised by Shisan Niang.

Shisan Niang even wondered if Zhang Mu was crazy.

"Brother Mu, where did you hear about these weird things?"

"A storyteller? You are simply misleading the young people."

"Weapons are the warrior's reliance. How can there be a saying that being without a sword is better than having one?"

"If two people are equally strong, the one with weapons has a better chance of winning. Even with fists and kicks, there are gloves and combat boots."

At first, when Zhang Mu listened to Shisan Niang's words, he thought that although the martial arts in this world were strong, they had not yet reached the philosophical level of Grandpa Jin. However, after listening to Shisan Niang's description of the weapons, Zhang Mu changed his mind.

"Brother Mu, remember, the weapons you used before, including the weapons used by everyone in the village, were all ordinary weapons, made of refined copper and iron. At best, they were tougher or sharper."

"Anything above the weapon is the true weapon of a warrior."

"Any soldier above the rank of soldier is called a combat soldier."

"Forging a war weapon requires firstly the availability of materials, and secondly the demanding forging techniques."

"A qualified combat weapon can amplify the power of your moves compared to ordinary weapons, increasing your strength by several percent."

"For example, if you had used combat soldiers when you killed the tiger demon, I wouldn't have needed your help. You could have killed the tiger demon on your own."

Zhang Mu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

Can it amplify the power of moves?

Then what’s the point of saying that having no sword is better than having a sword? Having a sword means being stronger!
……

Zhang Mu followed the maid up the stairs.

When going down the mountain, Shisan Niang said that the war weapon prepared by her father for her was customized to match the Cold Dragon Killing Spring. Not to mention the rare materials, the manufacturing cost alone cost thirty one-line coins.

This made Zhang Mu very sad.

As far as Zhang Mu knew, the output of luck money in the stronghold was not abundant. For example, Wei Wuyou, who was in the Yangye realm, had voluntarily given up luck money for many years just to avoid adding burden to the stronghold.

Now, my father spent thirty one-coin coins to make a weapon for himself.

Maybe they even emptied the public treasury of the fake one!
This……

It’s like the parents of an ordinary family spent their savings of several years, and even borrowed money from their grandparents, to buy a piano for their child who likes to play the piano.

The key point is that this child is not his biological child.

Zhang Mu had only one thought in his mind: How could I have such honor and ability...

In fact, Zhang Mu also thought about prepaying the luck money in exchange for the opportunity in the Opportunity Tower to help the village go further, but he finally gave up the idea.

Because with his current strength, the opportunities he can get are too expensive, and the ones he can afford do not have immediate effects. It is really difficult to find a truly suitable opportunity.

On the other hand, Ye Hanzhou, who was chosen by the Juyi Hall this time, is a high-quality project with small initial investment and absolute profit in the later stage due to the increase in fortune.

"Sir, we're here!"

Just as Zhang Mu's thoughts were drifting, a gentle call from the pretty maid brought him back to reality.

Zhang Mu looked around and saw that it was obviously an elegant room on the upper floor. He looked at the maid with some doubt. The maid lowered her head and said, "Please wait here for a moment. Our Pavilion Master will be here soon." Zhang Mu was stunned. Pavilion Master?

No, I just came here to get my gun and leave. Do I need to see the Pavilion Master?

But it was difficult for Zhang Mu to refuse. After all, it was his first time in the Divine Weapon Pavilion and he didn't know the procedures inside. So he nodded and found a chair to sit down.

The maid seemed relieved to see Zhang Mu sit down, and soon a maid came forward to bring good tea and fruit. Zhang Mu didn't even look at them, but just closed his eyes to rest.

A moment later, Zhang Mu sensed someone coming in. He opened his eyes and saw an octogenarian walking into the private room with a cane.

"Young man, are you here to get the Snow Frost Sky Spear?" Although the old man looked very old, he was full of energy and his voice was loud.

Zhang Mu stood up, clasped his fists, and said, "Are you the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion?"

"You're so kind! You're so kind!" The old man cupped his hands. "I'm just managing this branch of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. I can't be called the master."

As he spoke, the old man gestured for Zhang Mu to sit down. He also walked to the main seat, looked Zhang Mu up and down, and said, "His eyes are like lightning, his aura is like a mountain. He is indeed a young talent, worthy of the Snow Frost Sky Spear."

Zhang Mu smiled faintly: "Thank you for the compliment, old sir."

"My elders ordered me to come and get a gun. I wonder what the procedure is?"

"This..." The old man opened his mouth to speak, then sighed and said, "It is my Divine Weapon Pavilion that is ashamed."

After saying this, he thought for a moment and then said to the outside, "You should take a look at it yourself, my dear. Bring it in!"

The next moment, Zhang Mu saw a burly man walking in carrying a long box.

Then the strong man put the long box on the table and opened it.

Suddenly a chill emanated from the long box.

But Zhang Mu suddenly stood up, pointed at the things in the long box and asked, "Old sir, what does this mean?"

There was only a silver gun body in the long box, but the gun head was missing.

The Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion waved his hand, and the strong man and the maid retreated. He then bowed to Zhang Mu and said, "Young Master, please sit down and listen to my explanation."

Although Zhang Mu was unhappy, he still calmed down and sat down.

"The tip of this Snow Frost Sky Spear is crafted from millennia-old black ice essence. To ensure it's in top condition when the customer receives it, the tip will be placed within the icy lake of my Divine Weapon Pavilion. It will only be removed and fused when the customer arrives to retrieve it."

"But two days ago, Binghu was robbed and the gun head was also stolen."

"It's what it looks like now."

Zhang Mu frowned slightly, tapping his fingers on the table, and said, "To be frank, the theft at the Divine Weapon Pavilion had nothing to do with me. But I came to get the gun, and the Divine Weapon Pavilion couldn't deliver it. Is that the reason?"

The old Pavilion Master nodded: "That's what the young master said."

"Then how does the old gentleman plan to solve this matter?" Zhang Mu asked again.

Seeing Zhang Mu's appearance, the leader of the Divine Weapon Pavilion breathed a sigh of relief.

What he feared most was that Zhang Mu would ignore his explanation and start a scene. While the Divine Weapon Pavilion wasn't afraid of trouble, opening its doors for business would inevitably damage its reputation. Furthermore, if the higher-ups got to know about this, it would be another stain on his decades of hard work.

"This is the fault of my Divine Weapon Pavilion. I would like to apologize to the young master first." The leader of the Divine Weapon Pavilion stood up and bowed to Zhang Mu.

"As for the solution, I have a suggestion."

"Please speak." Zhang Mu said.

"Please give the Divine Weapon Pavilion another three days."

"If you find the spearhead within three days, you, the Snow Frost Sky Spear, will take it. In addition, my Divine Weapon Pavilion will give you three one-coin coins as compensation for your three days of waiting."

"If the spearhead is not found after three days, our Divine Weapon Pavilion will refund all expenses and pay you an additional ten coins as an apology. If you are relieved, we will continue forging it at a 50% discount."

"What do you think, young master?"

Zhang Mu didn't agree immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and thought for a moment before speaking again, "What if I find the spearhead myself within three days?"

The head of the Divine Weapon Pavilion smiled and said, "My Divine Weapon Pavilion has already issued a reward for finding the spear head. Five coins and one coin each will be rewarded. If you find it, young master, the reward will be the same."

"Okay, I'll wait three days!" Zhang Mu nodded, "But I have a request."

The Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion asked curiously, "What is the request?"

"My elders taught me a lesson: never owe money in business," Zhang Mu said. "According to the Pavilion Master, the Divine Weapon Pavilion will compensate me at least three coins no matter what."

"Then please pay first!"

The Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was slightly taken aback, then after a moment's thought, he nodded readily, "Young Master, that's straightforward."

After saying that, he reached into his sleeve and took out three one-coin coins. He put them in front of Zhang Mu and placed them on the table next to Zhang Mu.

"Thank you." Zhang Mu reached out, put away the three one-line coins, bowed, and walked straight out the door without any hesitation...
