My Players Are So Fierce

Detective Old Chen’s Unexpected Discovery_2

The discussion about the rift crossing the city is actually quite popular on the forums.

Many newcomers who haven’t experienced the Cardman City disaster are guessing what might be below, and there are those fearless enough to have actually jumped down.

Regrettably, the dense Star Realm aura obscures observation and perception, reducing visibility at the bottom of the rift to less than half a meter.

Plus, there’s the severe negative condition of Star Realm erosion that makes it impossible for newcomers to last very long.

But players who have jumped down are convinced there’s definitely something in the chasm, and little by little, this rift has become Crimson Castle’s “urban legend”.

However, experience has shown that urban legends are really unreliable in most cases!

“I’ve been spinning around here for half an hour, and there’s nothing but stones that have turned purple due to contamination by the Star Realm aura!”

Little Wei Ming, with her Iron Hammer Guard in tow and dual revolvers in hand, flutters her wings as she flies back and forth, speaking with a face full of disappointment to the person behind her:

“I was hoping to find some formidable Star Realm Beasts here.

I thought this might be a ‘challenge area’ the developers left for us.

Who would have imagined it’s so boring!”

“It’s not entirely boring, though.”

Lumina, dressed as an explorer, fiddles with several stones emitting a purple glow, saying:

“Didn’t Professor Chen say?

These rocks have been in contact with the Star Realm Spiritual Energy for so long, they’ve been affected by the physical rules.

Although we don’t know what these stones are for, bringing them back is definitely useful.

Look, they can even explode.”

Lumina tosses a stone from her hand onto a cluster of crystal-like rocks, causing a flash of purple light followed by a pop, like the sound of a firecracker being set off.

The power can’t be said to be great; in fact, there’s practically none…

But they’re just right as children’s toys.

“Alright, alright, I admit, this exploration isn’t as interesting as we thought.”

Under Little Wei Ming’s languid gaze, Lumina, tossing several purple stones in her hand, shrugged and made a face:

“Had I known, I would’ve stayed at Lady Shui’s shop helping her design military uniforms.

The few sets of uniforms she and Mao Brother designed for the People’s Army Commander are actually quite nice.”

“Could they be anything but?

They copied the classic designs from our place directly, only scarcely stopping short of putting the Third Reich’s military emblem on them.”

Lumina retorted:

“It’s only because Lady Shui and Mao Brother have the bottom line of a designer and firmly want to create a style, refusing to use the copy-paste method directly.

Otherwise, our side would really be elated with pure joy.

Speaking of which, Mao Brother even invited us to his gallery for coffee.

That guy is just like the classic artist type, completely out of touch with reality.

He’s even planning to make a 1:1 statue of Lady Triss in his gallery; they’ve already started working on it.

If it weren’t for my reminder, he’d probably have forgotten about the big quarantine lockdown going on right now.”

“Right, right, I always feel there’s something odd about Mao Brother’s hair, like he’s some middle-aged, over-the-top, emo punk, but his leatherworking skills are really good.”

Little Wei Ming, patting the armor on her body, said:

“Look, the armor he modified for me even comes with attribute boosts.

Lady Shui said Mao Brother is a master leatherworker, and from what I see in terms of craftsmanship, Mao Brother seems to be even better than Lady Shui.”

“Of course, he is Lady Shui’s senior, and even Lady Shui herself has said that she considers herself more of a designer than a seamstress.

She makes clothes by hand just for fun.

After marrying into wealth, she no longer needs to sell her craft to earn a living.

Now she’s just having fun with it, but Mao Brother is serious about it.

He has his own shops on various platforms, specializing in these antique-style armors and leather jackets from different countries.

I searched online before, and let me tell you, those prices are simply stunning.”

Lumina covered her face, speaking with indignation:

“I haven’t even started working and I’m already feeling the disparity of the world.

I bet when I do start working, half a year’s salary might just be enough to buy a pair of ladies’ leather gloves from Mao Brother…

Ah, how can it be so expensive?

Is this what they call the spirit of the craftsman?”

“Hehe, but now if you just say the word, he’ll make the equipment for you free of charge.”

Little Wei Ming, patting her sister’s shoulder, laughed and said:

“Mao Brother is vying for skill proficiency.

He’s planning to apply to be the Blood Vulture Clan’s armor craftsman.

He needs to level up his leatherworking skill to Master Level before Lady Triss recovers.

You’ll miss out if you lose this opportunity.

It’s one thing not being able to afford it in real life, but here, as long as you bring the materials, you can even order custom gear!

Little Lumi, this is a great chance.

Why don’t we go hunting this afternoon?

I know that a lot of beasts have surged into Smugglers’ Forest due to the Swamp Battle, and Hog has a lot of top-quality fur goods.

If we just say the word, his wife will open the warehouse for us to choose.”

“Hmm, makes sense, let’s take a trip to Smugglers’ Forest this afternoon.”

Lumina nodded in agreement, and then said to Little Wei Ming:

“By the way, introduce me to that secretive friend of yours.

Didn’t you say he works at the field hospital near Smugglers’ Forest?”

“Sure thing, he’s been teaching students there, living a day-to-day life of boredom.”

Little Wei Ming slapped her chest, promising her.

Having settled their plans for the afternoon, the two girls felt a little less bored and ran back to ask Professor Chen for leave, only to find Old Chen furrowing his brow, holding a pickaxe, and personally collecting some unique mineral samples with the help of the Witch Hunter guards.
