“Since everyone is here, I have a tentative proposal,” Nalan Hongwu said at this moment.

“Please go ahead.” All the people looked at him.

“Everyone knows that Mr. Fang, Little Li, and Xue formed a so-called research institute…” Nalan Hongwu felt like the name was a bit strange, and he asked, “Did I say the name right?”

“They have gained some progress with their research and even made some products. It is a partnership that every party contributed their efforts to. I think that we can also form a partnership.”

Nalan Hongwu said the words mainly to the Wuwei Daoist Alliance. Although the Nalan Family gained the highest prize in the Diablo competition, and Nalan Mingxue was the captain of the first place Team in the Counter Strike team competition, the Wuwei Daoist Alliance was also powerful and could study the AK and the rare item through its relationship with the Bu Family.

Instead of hiding their items from each other, it was better to form a partnership. After all, although the Nalan Family recruited many cultivators, their artifact making skills were far inferior to those of Wuwei Daoist Alliance.

Meanwhile, the Nalan Family had a unique item and the sniper rifle, which were things the artifact masters craved for.

“Besides…” Nalan Hongwu looked toward Liang Shi and others and said, “If you like, you can sell your gun to me, and I’ll give you a generous price that satisfies you.”

“Ugh…” Liang Shi and the others hesitated. They indeed wanted a good gun, but crystals were quite important to them as well. More importantly, it was a prize that they won in the first competition that they participated in, and it was quite meaningful to them. If not necessary, they didn’t want to sell it.

“In my opinion, it’s not necessary for them to sell it.” Fang Qi looked at Nalan Hongwu and said, “They can loan you the Desert Eagle and get their shares of the future revenue if you get anything out of the research. What do you think?”

Fang Qi said it for the sake of Fatty Wang. After all, if Wang Tai moved around with the only magic item in the world, he would be in mortal danger. The same went for Liang Shi and his peers.

However, if they put the things in the hands of the Wuwei Daoist Alliance, they would be safe.

“This method…” Liang Shi and his peers thought of it and felt like it was indeed a good solution to their dilemma.

…

“Ahh!” The moment that they left the Origins Internet Club, Liang Shi and his peers yelled at the top of their lungs!

They felt as if they had been dreaming in the last couple of days.

Liang Shi didn’t want to join any forces since he could be forced to do things that went against his principles. However, he was now in a partnership with the Wuwei Daoist Alliance and the Nalan Family, two huge forces!!

It was something that he had never dared to imagine!

It seemed that his life would be completely changed!

Clasping his hands behind his head, Liang Shi said in satisfaction, “I used to dream that I could earn enough money so the talented kids in my town can learn martial arts. Now, my dream is becoming a reality!”

Like most other ordinary people, their dreams were not big

“Hahahaha!” Wu Shan’s mustache moved with his laughter. “I think we can celebrate it with bottles of Coke at that time!”

“Why don’t we celebrate it now?”

“Ugh… I don’t have enough money…” Wu Shan’s face turned dark.

…

“Qi, thank you!”

The customers came or went in groups of two or three, and the orange setting sun extended their shadows on the street.

During the competition and after it, Wang Tai heard people saying that the shop owner had recommended this class to him with today’s competition in mind.

In fact, he had never imagined that Fang Qi’s casual recommendation would bring him such glory!

Of course, he didn’t know that this dirty and unorthodox class had left many scary stories and legends in another world!

Fang Qi shrugged. “You earned it. You don’t have to thank me.”

“Anyway, I still want to thank you.” Fatty Wang grinned as a silly expression appeared on his face, “Oh, I have chosen my item. A blue staff that adds two levels to Raise Skeleton, one level to Clay Golem, and one level to the curse – Weaken.”

“Good choice. Come for it tomorrow.” Fang Qi nodded, thinking that this staff had good properties for a blue item lower than level 10.

…

“Sir! Where’s my trident?!”

“Where’s my rare item?”

In the early morning, Nalan Hongwu and Bu Che strode in; Wang Tai came quite early too.

Even Jun Yangzi and the other artifact masters came with them.

Razortine (Trident)

When the white metal trident with a pale gold color was taken out, it attracted all the people’s attention. They saw many strange symbols engraved on the surface of the heavy trident that was one person in height. The moment that Nalan Hongwu put his hands on it, he could sense the power it contained!

There were no data and digitization in the real world, but he could tell that it was a top-quality weapon that contained immerse power!

“I’ll try it first myself!” Nalan Hongwu cut his thumb slightly with the trident blade.

With his physique, the usual weapon couldn’t wound him even when he didn’t protect himself with warrior qi. However, this trident left a small wound in his thumb.

A weird and strange energy entered his wound and spread all over his body, weighing down his limbs!

“I do feel slowed down!” Nalan Hongwu said, “Besides, when I put my hands on the weapon, I sense that my strength and dexterity have been improved! It indeed contains magic power!”

“Let me see it!” Eagerly, Jun Yangzi took the trident from Nalan Hongwu and touched the weird runes on the surface. He felt the flow of the power inside with excitement and said, “Yeah! This is the power of the rune symbols!”

“Rune symbols?!” All the people looked at Jun Yangzi in astonishment.

“They are Rune symbols!” Jun Yangzi said, “Haoran and I have studied these artifacts for a long time and found that these artifacts rely on runewords that are very similar to the rune symbols in our world. But different from our square characters, these artifacts use a weird twisted language. This artifact making technique is similar to the rune symbols but quite different in other ways.”

“Obviously, their knowledge and applications of the runewords are much deeper than our rune symbols, which are used only for storage spiritual spells for low-level cultivators!”

“This explains why we gained little success after such a long time of research,” Jun Yangzi said confidently, “However, with this weapon as a guide, we will soon make a breakthrough!”
