Strike While the Iron Is Hot

Han Xing couldn’t help but feel a pang in his heart when he saw her like this. He nodded and said, “Of course, once the diagnosis is confirmed, I won’t stop you from doing anything you want.”

“Really?” Han Yanran smiled sweetly. “Xing, you’re the best brother in the whole world!”

Han Xing couldn’t help but smile as well. However, when he took Han Yanran to Stone Village, he had no idea when her illness could be cured. And he also had to worry about the leaderboard of the game, hoping that the other members of the guild wouldn’t cause any delays.

While he was getting into the game, North Star was receiving intelligence from the undercover agents. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Guild Master, we have two more days. Do you have any experience to share with us for this leaderboard?”

“I have some offline matters to attend to, so 1 might be a bit delayed for this leaderboard. North Star, you’ll be responsible for managing the guild’s affairs.”

Upon hearing this, North Star’s face turned serious. “No problem, guild master. You can focus on offline matters, leave the guild affairs to me.”

After discussing for a while and arranging guild matters, Han Xing was about to log off when he received a message from Luyao.

Luyao had been waiting for him for almost a day, and now that he was finally online, she couldn’t wait any longer.

“Guild Master, 1 have some important matters to report to you.”

She was overjoyed when she saw Han Xing. The thought of Liu Feng’s actions today made her feel nauseous, but she didn’t want to let go of such valuable information.

“Guild Master, I’ve received some insider information. The Second World is planning an offline player competition in Rainbow City, and the Liu family wants to bid for hosting rights.”

Han Xing was taken aback when he heard this, but then he remembered that there was indeed such an event in his past life.

Back then, the Second World held offline competitions to quickly expand its player base and strengthen player combat capabilities.

The Sky Dragon Guild had his assistance. In the previous life, he had already established a good reputation in the Second World. With Liu Feng’s efforts, the hosting rights naturally fell into Liu Feng’s hands. In the offline competition, he also made acquaintances with many scions of prestigious families, further elevating the status of the Liu family.

In this life, he didn’t want the other party to have their way. With this in mind, he gave a meaningful glance to Luyao. “Alright, 1 will pay attention to this matter.”

Luyao felt extremely proud in her heart and was about to say a few more words to Han Xing when, unexpectedly, Petite Delicate rushed over in a state of urgency.

She saw Han Xing and urgently exclaimed, “Guild Master, please come and take a look at something!”

“What happened? Don’t be anxious, talk slowly.”

Petite Delicate didn’t let Han Xing finish his words before she grabbed him and headed out. “Guild Master, just come with me and see for yourself. I can’t explain it in a few words.”

Luyao couldn’t reveal the slightest bit of anger in front of Star Rebel. She could only grit her teeth and say, “Guild Master, you go ahead and take care of things!”

Why did Petite Delicate have to butt in at a time like this? Luyao became more and more frustrated, thinking about the precious alone time she could have had with Star Rebel, all ruined by her.

“Alright, if you have any updates, report them to me. 1’11 go handle the trouble here first.” Han Xing glanced at Luyao and then followed Petite Delicate to her blacksmith shop.

Inside the blacksmith’s workshop, the temperature was scorching, and the most terrifying thing was the constant shower of sparks emanating from the densely packed heart of the furnace.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Every now and then, the furnace would explode with a crackling spray of sparks.

Petite Delicate stammered as she explained, “Guild Master, today, 1 followed the method you taught me and placed the weapon directly in there for forging.”

“I didn’t expect things to turn out like this all of a sudden, and I didn’t dare to act rashly. I originally wanted to find North Star and meet the Guild Master, so I called out to you directly.”

Han Xing was taken aback by her words. “But I only taught you how to handle mineral veins and select the purest ores.”

Petite Delicate felt a little guilty and nervously said, “Yes, and 1 was bored, so 1 decided to give it a try.”

Han Xing couldn’t help but laugh at her words, “I didn’t forbid you from trying, but your current level of skill can’t control the temperature of the flames at all. If a fire broke out, the Mad Dragon Guild’s building would be gone, and I wouldn’t mind that, but what about you? Are you prepared to endure the pain of being burned to death?”

Originally, Petite Delicate thought that she would receive a scolding from the guild master, so she was also taken aback. She didn’t expect that the guild master would be considering this. During her confusion, she felt a touch of gratitude.

“Guild Master, you’re right. 1 will pay attention next time and won’t make the same mistake again.” Petite Delicate stammered as she admitted her fault, while the temperature in the room continued to rise, making it impractical to cool down.

Han Xing surveyed the surroundings and his gaze fell upon the ores that had melted into molten iron due to the high temperature. “Do you want to forge a sword?”

Petite Delicate nodded, somewhat embarrassed as she explained, “This is the only set of parts I can acquire.”

This was a piece of iron she spotted while browsing the Trading Pavilion. She thought the design was nice and bought it right away. She planned to use it as a template and forge a sword.

“Alright,” Han Xing didn’t say anything else, and suddenly flames burst out all over his body. With the Fire Dragon Spell, he was engulfed in flames.

This skill granted him temporary immunity to fire damage. Han Xing used tongs to take out the molten iron from the furnace, which was emitting sparks.

With the continuous reaction of the molten iron gone, the temperature of the furnace slowly decreased. Han Xing wasted no time and looked at Luyao, saying, “Give me your hammer.”

Without hesitation, Luyao immediately handed the hammer to Han Xing, who smoothly poured the molten iron onto the mold.

In just a few minutes, the molten iron quickly solidified, and Han Xing, holding the iron hammer, began hammering away at it.

Petite Delicate sat nearby, quietly enjoying the scene while also carefully observing Han Xing’s points of exertion. However, as she watched, her gaze started to wander.

It must be said that a man engrossed in his work is indeed handsome. He hadn’t seen Star Rebel’s appearance, but Star Rebel’s aura was far from ordinary. If and when the guild master reveals their true face, their popularity will surely surpass what it is now.

When Petite Delicate was lost in her thoughts, Han Xing had already immersed himself completely in sword forging.

After the explosion of the artisan class in his previous life, Liu Feng had once let him try it. It was not an easy task for a guild to sustain an artisan. To make the Sky Dragon Guild stronger, he devoted all his energy to blacksmithing.

Unfortunately, talent is talent. No matter what he did, he could never reach his satisfaction. In the end, he had to give up and decided to choose a reliable artisan from whom he could source his supplies.

With a sizzle, Han Xing tempered the already hammered iron sword for a while before tossing it into the cooling pool..
