Han Xing frowned as he read the message on his phone. This matter was not as simple as it seemed.
He decisively sent out a message, “Check the Wang family.”
There were too many families with the surname Wang, not only in the province but also in other counties. He didn’t know Han Yanran’s intentions, but he still followed this direction and let the private detectives investigate.
Although there were many Wang families, they would eventually find a useful one. At this point, Han Xing did not expect Han Yanran’s background to be so complicated.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Han Yanran’s medication required blood from her blood relatives, he might not have continued to investigate.
As soon as Han Xing logged into the game, the Second World company immediately sent an email and a system announcement.
[Congratulations to player Star Rebel for winning first place in the leaderboard this time. You have shocked the world with a single feat and are unparalleled in the world!]
[Congratulations to player Star Rebel for winning first place in the leader board this time. You have shocked the world with a single feat and are unparalleled in the world!]

The system announcement was repeated three times before it stopped. Han Xing was also stunned by the company’s series of actions. It wasn’t like he hadn’t taken first place on the leaderboard before. Why wasn’t it so grand last time?
As expected, the public chat was now full of discussions.
“F*ck, why is the company making such a big deal out of it? I don’t see the game company giving any benefits to the players usually. It seems like they’re planning to do that now.”
“You’re all missing the main point. Isn’t the main point that Guild Master Star Rebel Star got first place?”
“It’s none of my business whether he takes it or not. It’s not like I got first place. Wait until I get first place!”
“Don’t say those heartless words. Guild Master Star Rebel has done us players a huge favor in this competition. This was a competition for the entire server. Being able to get first place is already considered to be above everyone else.” “How did he get first place? He would know very well in his heart. I don’t care anyway. Rich people are just better than us.”
Han Xing saw these words, but he didn’t take them to heart. Playing online games had always been a way to magnify one’s other side. One would not die in this world, so naturally, one would not be afraid of being hunted down.
However, he glanced at the mail he received. The game company was really generous this time. They gave him all kinds of herbs, pills, and weapons.
He was given 20 white weapons and 5 bronze weapons. The game company would not give gold weapons away so easily. There were only a few gold-grade weapons in the entire server.
In his previous life, he probably wouldn’t have even looked at these white-grade weapons, but in this life, he gladly accepted them.
He was going to use ‘Turning Trash Into Treasure’ on all of this trash. Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that he hadn’t finished studying the pill formula with the White Jade Snow Orchid the last time.
The Han family had yet to officially make a profit. His income basically came from the Second World. In addition, he had to host the offline competition, so he basically had to pay for all the rewards. The Pan family could not get so many weapons and equipment.
At that time, he could hand in another batch of low-quality weapons, such as white and black iron weapons. Of course, white would be the best.
Just as Han Xing was thinking about where to get more white weapons, a clear voice suddenly sounded.
“Guild Master, 1 have an urgent matter to discuss with you.” Petite Delicate ran briskly to Han Xing. She handed the thing in her hand to Han Xing and said excitedly, “Guild Master, what do you think of the quality of this batch?”
Han Xing looked at the shuriken that Petite Delicate handed him. The shuriken was extremely sharp, and its blade was sharp. There were many patterns carved on it, and even its shape was impeccable. However, its quality was only white.
“Is this your newest forging? Not bad, the quality and appearance this time has reached a higher grade.” Han Xing weighed the shuriken in his hand. It was extremely light and could be used as a hidden weapon.
Petite Delicate nodded excitedly and then looked like she was asking for praise. She said, “I’ve improved again. I’ve finally improved. If 1 couldn’t forge anything, I’ll doubt my own strength.”
“It’s fine. Don’t be too stressed. Just do what you want to do. I won’t make things difficult for you.”
Han Xing’s words made Petite Delicate smile sweetly. She shook her head and said, “I can’t do that, Guild Master. I definitely can’t embarrass you. Many people say that I’m your mascot. I want them to know how good your eyes are.” Looking at the shuriken in his hand, Petite Delicate had failed countless times to reach this grade.
Failed… Suddenly! A golden light flashed in Han Xing’s eyes.
“You must have failed many times to reach this quality. Did you throw away the ones you failed?”
Petite Delicate shook her head and immediately replied, “I threw all of them into the storeroom in the warehouse. The quality of those wasn’t too good, so I thought of returning them to the furnace to forge later.”
“Alright.” Han Xing returned the weapon to her and said, “Don’t mention it to anyone else. Also, you can start practicing with more advanced weapons.”
“As for the materials needed for those weapons, I’ll help you get them.”
When Petite Delicate heard this, she was surrounded by a strong sense of happiness. It had to be known that materials in the Second World could not be obtained or bought as and when they wanted. Basically, they could only appear through players exploring and killing monsters.
She had wanted to practice forging a weapon of a higher level, but the materials required were not only hard to find, such as refined iron and diamond crystal gold, but even the water used for refining and cooling was of a special quality.
Last time, in order to compete for a mineral vein next to the Mad Dragon Guild, they almost started a war between several guilds. Every time she thought of this, she would sigh at how rare the resources in the Second World were.
“Wait for my good news. Continue to forge white-grade weapons for the next few days. If you feel that they are not good, throw them all into the storeroom in the warehouse and I’ll take care of them.”
Petite Delicate nodded obediently. It had to be said that she was extremely beautiful. Paired with the biack-cloaked craftsman’s attire, it looked a little comical.
When Han Xing accompanied Petite Delicate to the smithing area and personally watched her forge a new weapon, he felt relieved. He went to the storeroom again and found that the floor was filled with discarded items. There were a total of 100 items.
There were a total of 36 white-grade weapons among these discarded items, and the rest were unsuccessful. It was obvious how hard Petite Delicate had worked in the past month.
Without a second thought, Han Xing used all of the white-grade weapons and turned them into something better using ‘Turning Trash Into Treasure’. This was a great harvest. He had 26 black-iron-grade weapons, 11 bronze-grade weapons, and even gold-grade weapons..
