Chapter 274 Chapter 272·【Spring Flowers Blooming】

 【December 4, 14:00 pm】

  【Lord God World·25 District Server】

The decoration style is completely different from the outside world. After walking into this residence, Su Mingan saw a small city that looked like it was carved out of gems.

 The gorgeous stained glass and glazed roof first attracted his attention, followed by various fountains and pools.

Different from the eye-catching Boss Rabbit Fountain, these pools have some pillars engraved with strange patterns standing in the center. There was soft music coming from the edge of the pool, and various players were sitting by the pool chatting.

Under the skylight, various colors penetrated into his eyes after reflection, and he saw a small colorful city, which looked like a place where elves lived in legend.

 A very fantasy place.

 It reminded him of the magical world of brightness.

Noel led him through the "bright" streets until he reached an alley.

While passing by a door, he heard a "dinging" sound inside, like the sound of a hammer.

 “Come in.” Noel opened the door.

When Su Mingan walked in, he first saw the red brick walls, and then saw the vines hanging from the ceiling.

 The square table rests on the wooden floor. Behind the counter, there is a space covered by a blue curtain, and there is a "dinging" sound.

 Noel opened the curtain and Su Mingan saw a girl with loose black hair.

Her fingers pulled some floating light groups, and the transparent frame floated in front of her, waiting for various colored light groups to slowly fill it.

With an invisible rhythm, stripes of lines began to appear on the light mass under her rhythmic fingers. Stretch or bend, push or pull. The colorful materials on the table decreased with her hands and flew into the frame in the air. The originally empty frame became as full as dye.

 Forging.

 This is the profession of life, the blacksmith.

 A small hammer appeared in the girl's hand, and with a crisp knocking sound, the weapon began to slowly take shape.

Blacksmithing is not something you can do by gathering materials in the game and clicking on an icon. It has a high degree of freedom and requires careful planning like building a building.

A little mistake or a little fantasy can make a piece of equipment worthless and precious materials be wasted.

 …just like the boots that Su Mingan saw before that limited his agility points.

 “This is what you just saw.”

 A deep male voice came over.

Su Mingan looked up and saw the bald man walking out of the back room.

 A pair of boots surrounded by the strong wind were placed on the counter in front of him.

 The bald man smiled at him: "Hello, player number one. I am Seruo, the chief blacksmith of the New World Guild."

Su Mingan instantly understood the bad temper that the other party showed when selling things before.

  No wonder he was so arrogant when he sold things before. He turned out to be a blacksmith of a high rank.

 “Hello…I’m Su Mingan.”

"Haha, no introduction is needed. I can call you by name with my eyes closed." Seruo smiled brightly: "It was really thrilling just now. I apologize to you on behalf of my president. He always likes to do such nasty things." Little joke."

 “It’s not a joke!” Noel said immediately.

 “Okay, it’s not a joke.” Seruo rubbed Noel’s head, then turned to look at Su Mingan.

"These boots will be given to you by Noel after he enters the seventh world." Seruo turned around and suddenly saw the black-haired girl looking at him with her mouth bulging.

“—It’s so noisy! Don’t talk while I’m forging!” The black-haired girl slapped the table, and Seruo immediately raised his hands in surrender.

As if she hadn’t seen Su Mingan, the black-haired girl curled her lips and turned around to leave.

"That's Xiao Tang, a newcomer who has just returned and is determined to be a blacksmith." Seruo watched the girl leave and introduced him: "I have to say, her talent is far beyond my expectation. Maybe In a few more worlds, it will be her turn to be the chief blacksmith..."

Su Mingan listened to Seruo's introduction and listened to him talk about some things in the Lord God's world.

“Every time before those adventurous players set off, we will ask them to find some materials...”

“However, sometimes we also change our minds and look for something to replace..."

“Although the failure rate will be very high, and some equipment that cannot be used at all will often be produced, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, adventure players work hard, and finding materials is something that is rare but not something you can ask for..."

“Xiao Tang was clamoring to find everything for us before, but as a result, hey, the whole world was defeated. Fortunately, nothing happened to him, and now he is back as a deputy..."

"I'm telling you, even though our guild leader looks easy to deceive, he is actually quite good. I remember the last time he... dared to deceive his members about building materials. He was killed by him in the game copy. I was struggling so much that I couldn’t even find my pants…”

 “Don’t say anything that could cause ambiguity.” Noel smiled beside him.

 “Ha, ha, ha, isn’t this the truth...”

 Seruo pulled Su Mingan through the backyard of the forge house, taking him to see the on-site potion making process, and then to the large garden at the back, like a tour guide on a spring outing.

Su Mingan gradually understood Noel’s intention.

Relax.

 After the end of the Sixth World, people really need such relaxation.

 In the familiar voice, he did feel that his tense spirit relaxed a lot.

 In the end, Seruo showed him something wrapped in white cloth.

"This is a weapon specially prepared for you." Seruo said, "I heard from my guild leader that you still need a spare weapon, right? I was still worried after hearing this. This customized weapon does not have the specific information of the player. I can't do it... But I randomly searched on the forum, and all the information was yours. I instantly got an idea and made one, and it actually flashed and I created a rare red-level weapon..."

Su Mingan glanced at Noel in surprise.

"I will bring this sword to you in the seventh world." Noel said, "It is still considered a gift."

 “…is it too precious?”

Su Ming'an knew that the materials needed to create red-level weapons were not cheap.

 No less than the price of buying one.

 But more importantly, red-level weapons have a price but no market. They are much more precious than ordinary red-level equipment. Equipment of this level cannot be seen in the stalls.

"Compared to a weapon." Noel turned his head and looked at him: "A partner who can fight side by side is much more important to me."

 “Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

The bald man tutted at the side: "It would be great if the first player was a little girl... I don't have to worry about it."

"Yeah, if only you were a little girl, Seruo, I would send you out directly to build equipment specifically for Su Mingan..." Noel was arguing with Seruo on the side, but the video communication on Su Mingan's side flashed.

 “Dingling bell—dinging bell—”

“Sorry, take the call.” Su Mingan clicked on the video call.

 A pair of familiar dead fish eyes appeared on the screen in front of him. A young man in black Hanfu was holding an extremely ugly dog ​​and looking at him blankly.

Su Mingan just remembered this.

 …It had been so long that he had almost forgotten about Lu Shu, and he had not contacted him for a long time.

 And...this dog is really ugly.

“Jasmine and Qingqing have been under Lin Yin for a long time.” Lu Shu said business as usual: “They had a lot of fun, but they didn’t improve their strength much.”

 “It doesn’t matter, I don’t need followers.” Su Mingan said.

"Seventh World, let's form a team." Lu Shu said: "The team limit is five people. Me, you, and Lin Yin, three people are actually just right."

 Noel came over instantly, with lightning speed.

 “And me,” he said.

Lu Shu’s eyebrows wrinkled visibly.

“Learn to hide your expression.” Noel said, “I can see your obvious rejection of me.”

Lu Shu ignored him and looked at Su Ming'an.

"Noel is my partner and can form a team." Su Mingan said.

"Okay." Lu Shu responded: "Then, I'll see you in the seventh world."

 “See you in the seventh world.”

Without any unnecessary nonsense, Su Mingan hung up the call. Lu Shu and he were both concise and to the point people, and their calls were usually short and quick.

 Hang up the communication, Su Mingan looked at Noel.

Seruo had already left on his own, and Su Mingan had a vague sense that Noel wanted to talk to him about something serious.

“Originally, I wanted to take you to play with me for a while.” Noel said, “But along the way... I can see that you seem to prefer to be alone than relaxing with me.”

His words were straightforward, and Su Mingan admitted it straightforwardly.

He knew that Noel wanted to help him relax, but rather than waste time in the Lord God's world, he would rather use his shuttle skills to go to other worlds.

"sorry, I…"

"No need to apologize." Noel shook his head: "As the inviter, it is my responsibility not to let you enjoy your leisure time."

Su Mingan discovered that Noel’s emotional intelligence is really high.

Even when he said this, the other party's expression was only sincere, without any trace of falsehood.

 As if feeling really guilty.

 Appropriate words, coupled with excellent expressions and temperament, can impress others very well.

  Noel possesses such qualities.

"Follow me to the last place of this trip." Noel said: "Have a good rest after that. See you in the seventh world... I feel that your face is still not good."

 He said, turning around.

 …The last place?

Su Mingan felt a little confused.

He followed Noel and walked through the sun-drenched corridor, and suddenly saw a building painted in various colors.

 He heard a burst of laughter.

 The laughter of a child, crisp and clean, like a swaying wind chime.

A wall covered with graffiti appeared in front of him. Through the railings, he saw the running children, the teachers following the children, and the colorful windmills spinning in their hands.

 The warm wind blew across his cheeks, and the air was filled with the scent of candies and desserts.

“Dean—Brother dean is here!”

Seeing Noel, dozens of children who were playing immediately gathered together and moved toward the two of them.

 “President.” The teacher ran over, said hello to Noel, and glanced at Su Mingan in surprise.

She took one look, then couldn't help but take another look, and finally confirmed Su Ming'an's identity.

 She covered her mouth to suppress the screams in her mouth.

In Noel's gesticulating eyes, she did not scream, but stepped away to give space to the children.

 The children quickly gathered together, stretched out their hands, and asked Noel for candy.

The little girl with braided braids came close to Noel, and Noel showed candy from the palm of his hand like magic and handed it to her.

 “Thank you, Brother Dean!” The little girl smiled like a flower.

"Xiaochen, please listen to the teacher and don't run around." Noel touched the head of the child next to him: "I heard before that you were running around again. It's dangerous outside."

 “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, Xiaochen is not afraid!”

The little boy named Xiaochen puffed up his chest: "If you get lost, report the name of brother dean. People say that brother dean is awesome! I know it!"

 Noel laughed.

“Brother Dean, Brother Dean, when can we go home? When will our parents come back from their trip?”

 The little girl came closer to Noel.

“Just wait for more than nine months, and your parents will come to pick you up,” Noel said.

"So long…"

 “Let’s play here together, don’t you have fun?”

"Happy!" the little girl answered first, then lowered her head and tightened her grip on her dress: "But I still miss my parents...I want them to read me bedtime stories..."

Noel said nothing.

His fingers gently stroked the girl's head, and then he turned his palm:

"Look! Candy!" He raised his right hand: "There are also matching little red flowers!"

“Ah! Brother Dean, give it to me, give it to me—”

 The little girl put aside her worries for an instant and jumped up and down like a child eager to express herself.

"Don't give it to Yaya! She just ran away to play a few days ago!" The children behind immediately started shouting.

 “Hey, you’re so old and you still don’t listen to the teacher, you’re so embarrassed...”

“I, I didn’t run out, you’re talking nonsense!”

 “Ah, Yaya ran out again! I want to report it!”

 Children were laughing and shouting and making a fuss.

Noel stood in the middle of them like a little sun, with a smile on his face.

 The warm wind blew his blond hair, and a sticky golden light flowed from it.

Su Mingan stood outside the railing and watched this scene.

Noel turned his head and waved to him: "Okay, everyone, look - Brother Dean has brought you a new friend today!"

 The children looked up.

 A little boy suddenly started screaming:

 “I know! I know! It’s Brother Lighthouse!”

 “Brother Lighthouse! I saw him on the big screen played by my aunt!”

Su Mingan was stunned for a moment.

Like a trickle of water, the children rushed to him.

 “Brother Lighthouse, do you have any candy?”

“Brother, can you play the harp?”

“Brother, I often hear teachers and aunties calling you husband. When did you get married?”

 A flower-like smile appeared in front of him.

The little girl with dark complexion showed a row of white teeth, like pearls.

He stood there, surrounded by shorter children. The children's hands were touching him, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.

 He could feel the emotions in the children.

 Clean, bright, glassy.

 …Completely different from the group of piranha-like players just now.

 Warm wind passed before his eyes.

 Through the sea of ​​dancing colors, he could see the smiling faces of the children.

 Like spring flowers in full bloom.
