733 Let the Forgers Compete Too (2)

Tang Mao’er’s and Zheng Yongtai’s expressions froze at the same time. Their gazes landed on the three weapons, and one word flashed through their minds.

Impossible!

Only the big shots at the Grotto-Heaven realm could casually produce three connate divine weapons.

Although Zhou Shu’s cultivation was higher than theirs, he was definitely not a Grotto-Heaven expert.

“These are connate divine weapons?” Tang Mao’er said solemnly.

“Don’t you know after seeing them?” Zhou Shu said casually. “These are my practice works from the past. They’re not very good. I’m not trying to show off, but I just want to tell you that connate divine weapons are nothing to me.”

The Ming Hong Saber, the Tiger Soul Saber, and the Kun Wu Saber he had obtained from the Heavenly Hub Armory were lined up. In fact, of the three sabers, only the Ming Hon Saber was made by Zhou Shu.

But in order to scare Tang Mao’er, Zhou Shu naturally wouldn’t tell him the truth.

Zheng Yongtai and Tang Mao’er were really shocked.

With their statuses, they had only been rewarded with a connate divine weapon when they broke through to the Earth Immortal realm.

Zheng Yongtai was better. He was a forger and had the ability to forge connate divine weapons. It was just that his success rate was not high, but he had seen many connate divine weapons.

Tang Mao’er was different. Although he spoke arrogantly about wanting a hundred connate divine weapons right away, actually, he had never seen so many connate divine weapons in his life.

“Okay, now we should have established our initial trust.” Zhou Shu put away the three sabers and looked at Tang Mao’er. “Now, we can talk officially.

“Do you want the ten connate divine weapons to be customized? Or can they be anything?

“Let me get this straight first. If they’re customized, the price will definitely be higher.

“Also, whether you provide the forging materials or use mine, the price will be slightly different.

“By the way, most importantly, what is the currency used in your grotto-heavens? Gold?”

Zhou Shu’s series of questions almost stunned Tang Mao’er.

How would he know this? This was also his first time buying a connate divine weapon.

How could he pretend to be an expert?

He subconsciously looked at Zheng Yongtai for help.

Zheng Yongtai rolled his eyes. I’m competitors with this Zhou fellow, okay?

If you buy connate divine weapons from him, won’t our Sima Grotto-Heaven lose a lot of business?

Help you?

Yes, I do have to help you, help you fail this deal!

Zheng Yongtai said, “Gold is useless to us martial artists, especially when buying connate divine weapons. According to the rules of our Sima Grotto-Heaven, usually, if you provide the forging materials yourself, you only need to provide two sets of materials.”

The two sets of materials Zheng Yongtai mentioned were forging materials that could be used to forge two connate divine weapons. After all, there was a success rate in forging connate divine weapons, and the chances of success were extremely low.

And once it failed, the forging materials would be scrapped.

Therefore, when hiring others to forge connate divine weapons, people usually had to prepare more forging materials for the forger.

After the weapon was successfully forged, the remaining forging materials would be the reward for the forger.

In the Sima Grotto-Heaven, engaging a forger would require at least three times the amount of forging materials. Otherwise, no forger would take action.

Zheng Yongtai doubled the price because he wanted Zhou Shu to reject it because the price was low.

If Zhou Shu rejected Tang Mao’er, he would have to go back to the Sima Grotto-Heaven.

After all, the Sima Grotto-Heaven was also in the weapons business.

“Double the forging materials?” Zhou Shu’s eyes lit up. There’s such a good thing?

One for two, and I can even get a batch of workers. Tang Mao’er is really a good person.

Zhou Shu had already decided to let go of his previous arrogance.

What was a good customer? This was it.

“Okay.” Zhou Shu nodded. “If you provide the forging materials yourself, I can accept two times the forging materials.”

“You are willing to accept just twice the amount of forging materials?” Zheng Yongtai frowned. “You’ll lose money!”

Even in the Sima Grotto-Heaven, there were very few people who had a 30% success rate when forging connate divine weapons. It would definitely be a loss to forge connate divine weapons with twice the amount of forging materials.

“So what?” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “Tang Mao’er wants connate divine weapons to resist the demonic beasts. I only hate myself for not having the ability to help you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked for any forging materials.”

Zhou Shu said righteously, “It doesn’t matter if I lose a little if I can help with resisting the invasion of the demonic beasts.”

Tang Mao’er was touched by his straightforwardness.

“I was wrong about you in the past. I apologize. You’re indeed our fellow comrade,” Tang Mao’er said seriously. “It’s settled then. I’ll provide the forging materials myself. Two times the forging materials for a connate divine weapon!”

“Wait!” Zheng Yongtai shouted. “Tang Mao’er, why can’t you be more steady? The matter hasn’t been settled yet!”

“Didn’t we already agree on the price?” Tang Mao’er asked.

“That’s only the general price. Can a custom-made connate divine weapon have the same price as any other connate divine weapon?” Zheng Yongtai said resentfully.

“Can connate divine weapons forged by different forgers have the same strength?

“Also, if the forging fails even with twice as many forging materials, who will bear the loss? Forging isn’t as simple as you think!”

Zheng Yongtai didn’t expect Zhou Shu to be willing to accept such a low price. It made him panic.

He was also very envious of a big order of a hundred connate divine weapons. If he could accept this order, how many benefits would he get?

Previously, he was just probing Tang Mao’er. In addition, he wasn’t sure if he was joking about the one hundred connate divine weapons.

Now that he was sure that Tang Mao’er was serious, how could he not be anxious?

Tang Mao’er cupped his hands at Zhou Shu. “Brother Zhou, what do you say?”

“I just said that although I’m weak, I’m willing to contribute to resisting the demonic beasts,” Zhou Shu said seriously. “Whether it’s a customized connate divine weapon or something else, the price will be double the forging materials.

“If the forging still fails with double the forging materials, I’ll bear all the losses, and I promise to hand over the connate divine weapon to you.”

“This is against the rules!” Zheng Yongtai shouted. “Besides, if the forging fails, how are you going to forge the weapon? Do you have that many forging materials?”

Zhou Shu glanced at Zheng Yongtai. “Brother Zheng, since you’ve said that, I’ll broaden your horizons.”

It had to be said that these people from the grotto-heavens might have very high cultivations and might not be young, but maybe because they grew up in the grotto-heavens, their way of thinking was too simple.

Zhou Shu waved his hand, and a pile of forging materials appeared in front of them.

Zhou Shu clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly, “Do you think these forging materials are enough?”

Zheng Yongtai’s and Tang Mao’er’s eyes widened again.

Gulp—

Zheng Yongtai gulped. Damn it. You already have so many forging materials, yet you’re still snatching business from me?

For the sake of the business of a mere hundred connate divine weapons, you can even accept twice the amount of forging materials as the price. Why are you doing this?

How shameless!

Zheng Yongtai cursed in his heart.

Zhou Shu smiled. “Brother Zheng, do you still suspect me?”

Wasn’t it just a price war? Zhou Shu was familiar with it. If you want to snatch business from me, your Sima Grotto-Heaven won’t have it easy.

“Tang Mao’er, if the forging materials you have are not suitable, I can lend them to you first. After all, war can’t wait. The earlier the soldiers use connate divine weapons, the higher their chances of winning when fighting demonic beasts.

“Tang Mao’er, although our Ten Nations have meager strength, we are duty-bound to resist the demonic beasts. This is my sincerity!”
