Chapter 102 The Snowstorm's Edge

Two days later, we set off for the capital again.

This time, the team was led by Shen Qing and Xie Chong, and included the Li siblings and Chen Chen, making a total of ten people.

The exchange meeting is tomorrow, so they naturally came to headquarters first.

"Shen Qing!"

Major Shen.

From the moment he entered the headquarters gate, he was greeted non-stop, and Xie Chong's eyes widened more and more.

"No, are you that famous?"

Although he knew about Shen Qing's outrageous performance at headquarters during the assessment, the scene before him was still somewhat beyond his imagination.

Not only were there hummingbird members passing by, but there were even prospective members of the Night Owls among them.

That's a bit strange.

Normally, shouldn't the conflict between the owl and the hummingbird be quite significant?

Shen Qing blocked the finish line during the first test, causing everyone to fail and forcing an overtime round.

Shouldn't we hate him to the core?

"team leader!"

A loud voice suddenly rang out, and the group looked over to see a burly man dressed in a Night Owl uniform.

After walking over, he put his arm around Shen Qing's shoulder without saying a word, and then greeted the Li siblings behind him.

It was Yang Dazhuang, whom I hadn't seen for a while.

"Night owl?"

Xie Chong was even more bewildered. A formal member of the Night Owls calling Shen Qing "Captain" was, although it was barely acceptable in terms of military rank.

But aren't those people always arrogant and condescending? They usually have an attitude of ignoring everything.

Aside from the Li siblings and Chen Chen, the other team members also cast puzzled glances at them.

"This is Yang Dazhuang. I was the captain of the temporary team during the initial assessment."

Shen Qing explained, then looked at Yang Dazhuang, "But why didn't you go on the mission?"

"It's because we're not strong enough yet."

Yang Dazhuang scratched his head and explained, "Although I have passed the assessment, I need to raise my strength to E level as soon as possible."

Night Owl usually operates in groups of two to three; F-rank isn't enough for him.

"I just heard that you were coming, so I volunteered to come and pick you up and take you to the rest area."

After some explanation, Xie Chong and the others finally understood.

However, due to my previous contact with the night owl, it still felt somewhat absurd, like a dream.

With Yang Dazhuang leading the way, Shen Qing and his group quickly found a place to stay. After that, Shen Qing left alone to go to the logistics department.

Following the directions Fang gave him, he arrived at the basement level of the headquarters.

Looking at the various unfamiliar instruments around him, and the burly men with bare chests smashing iron, the two scenes seemed completely out of place.

Is this the place where the magic weapon was made?

With a worried heart, Shen Qing bypassed the forging area and entered a room full of display cases.

It contains various weapons and magical artifacts, such as short swords and bronze cauldrons, but it's unclear whether they are real or models.

"Shen Qing?"

A voice rang out, and Shen Qing noticed that there was a middle-aged man in the room, standing next to the display case.

There was a strange sense of familiarity—a feeling of similarity to that cat girl, but I just couldn't quite put my finger on it.

"senior."

Shen Qing bowed respectfully.

He didn't think this was an ordinary person, and the cat-girl was no simple character either.

The middle-aged man nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a nearly three-meter-long spear appeared in his hand, its entire body black.

Beneath the spear tip, the blood-red tassel flickered like smoke, giving it an indistinct appearance.

"The gun's name is 'Great Snow's Edge'."

The middle-aged man slowly said, "Heavy Snow is one of the twenty-four solar terms, the mid-winter season, when all things are dormant and only a desolate scene remains between heaven and earth."

The essence of this spear lies in its imposing, chilling aura of death.

As he spoke, another large, equally dark bow appeared in his other hand. He was bowing, without a string, yet it exuded an aura of sharpness.

"And this great bow, named Juefeng," the name is derived from the phrase "Juefeng" (绝锋), meaning "absolute edge" or "sword's edge" in Chinese, referring to the origin of the bow.

The middle-aged man pushed the two magical artifacts forward and continued, "Whether it's the great bow or the spear, their basic ability is armor-piercing, imbued with a chilling intent. Both are quite fitting for your title of 'The Instantaneous Rakshasa.'"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing immediately felt embarrassed.

Not only was this somewhat childish title read aloud to someone's face, but it was also read aloud by a big shot in a serious tone.

The level of embarrassment has practically doubled!

"After the blood is dripped, let's see how it goes." The middle-aged man handed over the two magical artifacts.

Shen Qing quickly took it, bit her finger, and the moment the blood seeped into the surface of the magic weapon, a feeling of being connected by blood and flesh surged into her heart.

He subconsciously had a thought, and it actually transformed into two beams of light that merged into his body.

My natal magic weapon!

Shen Qing was shocked. The so-called natal magic treasure is a type of magic treasure that can be nurtured and grow together with its master.

Normal supernatural beings create magical artifacts for themselves, and apart from a few who use them as one-time talismans, they all strive in this direction.

Moreover, it takes time and requires a certain level of strength to build.

Not to mention building it for someone else, that's no ordinary difficulty, Shen Qing was certain, even his 400 contribution points might not be enough to cover the material costs.

The only pity is that he has not yet opened his Qi Sea, so he does not yet have the ability to nurture magic treasures.

"Thank you, senior."

Shen Qing took a deep breath and bowed deeply. Although he didn't know the other party's identity, he was clearly a big shot.

These two magical treasures of mine were entirely funded by the other party.

Refusing is definitely out of the question. Not to mention that he actually needs it, would he dare to refuse a gift from an unknown big shot?

Just when Shen Qing thought the middle-aged man was about to say something more, he simply waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

As Shen Qing walked out of the exhibition hall, she was still in a daze.

What does this big shot mean? It's just an investment, but he doesn't seem to care at all? That's the impression he gets.

However, the preciousness of this magical artifact doesn't seem to suggest that it was cast in a wide net.

With these questions in mind, Shen Qing returned to her rest area.

In the corridor, I happened to see Xie Chong talking to a tall, short-haired woman, although she left after only a few words.

"Looks like you're not up to the task; they barely acknowledge you."

Chen Chen suddenly appeared out of nowhere and put his arm around Xie Chong's shoulder with a playful expression.

"Get lost."

Xie Chong waved his hand dismissively. "He Zheng's personality is just like that. If she really doesn't want to talk to me, do you expect me to send her a talisman?"

"Healing talismans are very rare in the game; you can't buy them even if you have money."

"So, you bought that talisman with your own money?" Shen Qing walked over and casually asked.

Xie Chong's expression froze instantly, but he still stubbornly said, "Then other people can't even buy it if they want to."

Before the words were finished, a conversation could be heard from not far away.

"He Zheng, right? I wanted to ask you how much your talismans cost?"

"We won't sell it; you can only exchange it for contribution points or pills."

Xie Chong's voice stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes turned to him. He opened his mouth, but still managed to explain, "At least—at least I bought it with cash."

Shen Qing patted him on the shoulder and didn't say anything more. Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
