"Hehe, Old Man Zeng, why are you still so anxious? This matter is quite complicated. Let me tell you slowly!" Liu Junming picked up the teacup and tasted the tea with a very enjoyable expression on his face.

Zeng Shidao didn't urge him, but he kept holding the teapot in his hand. The meaning was very obvious. If you don't say anything, don't even want to get even a cup of tea from me.

"That's right. I think Xiao Ke and I are quite close. In addition, he is your apprentice! Just like you, I did a soul energy test for him for free. What are the results of the test?" Liu Junming kept it in a silence.

"Just say it, just say it, just get out if you don't say it!" Zeng Shidao did not support Liu Junming's suspense at all.

"Poor Xiao Ke, he is a multi-soul body, and he is even more unlucky than me." Liu Junming sighed.

"What did you say?"

"I said Xiao Ke is a multi-soul body, alas... it's aborted! It's aborted!" Liu Junming repeated.

"This kid is too unlucky, right?" Zeng Shidao's face also became ugly.

"You are the only person in this base who knows my secret. You know how hard I have worked over the years. I can see that Xiao Ke is a child who is very strong. This will definitely have a great blow to him. If possible, I really want to help him." Liu Junming took advantage of Zeng Shidao's stumble, snatched the teapot from him and poured himself a cup of tea.

"You mean... the 'statue' you hid in the temple?" Zeng Shidao was silent for a long time before speaking.

"Opportune." A hint of joy flashed in Liu Junming's eyes.

"After so many years, you still refuse to give up!" Zeng Shidao shook his head.

"I gave up long ago. I am so old, no matter how hard I try, it's meaningless. But Xiao Ke is still young, maybe that 'statue' can help him. You should be able to think about how much it cost to get the formula of this soul splitting agent, and the precious raw materials I have accumulated, and they may expire and expire if I put them down. Only by getting the insect eggs in the statue and cooperating with your runes can you succeed." Liu Junming lowered his voice.

"Take the insect eggs back to the base is a serious violation of regulations. Once they are known, we will all go to jail! The risk is too great!" Zeng Shidao shook his head again.

"I know, so I just told you casually that Xiao Ke is your apprentice and treats you as a relative. Maybe he will help you with his old age in the future. What should you do, whether to help him or not. If there is no soul-dividing agent, he will be inferior to others all his life; with soul-dividing agent, he may become a masterpiece of nature." Liu Junming said with his eyes shiny, and at the same time poured the last cup of tea from the teapot into the cup.

Zeng Shidao didn't say anything and kept thinking.

"I have heard before that if you learn rune carving, you will have an advantage over ordinary people. Old Man Zeng, you should know more than me in this regard, right?" Liu Junming continued to thrust indirectly.

"Is your recipe reliable? Also, my rune attainments are not as powerful as you think. What if the things you made are wrong and cause him to die? Have you considered the risks in this regard?" Zeng Shidao was still very hesitant.

"Don't I have two ingredients? You can try one for me first. If it's okay, then give it to him. Anyway, my old bone is useless." Liu Junming immediately brought it out to Zeng Shidao.

"You still haven't given up." Zeng Shidao saw through Liu Junming at first glance.

"Well... what if I don't give up? I've already set my own shape in this life. Even if I succeed in my soul separation, I can't practice it even if I succeed in my soul separation. I think the most important thing is that we two old bachelors should find a way to cultivate Xiao Ke. If the soul separation agent is really successful, I will have some other benefits and luck in the future. If he is a person who values ​​love and friendship, his scenery will be our scenery in the future." Liu Junming continued to savor the last cup of tea slowly.

"Let me do this before, and test whether he is reliable or not? If I really treat me as a relative, I can decide whether to take such a big risk for him. You have helped me, and I will not treat you badly when the tea harvest next season." Zeng Shidao pondered for a long time and asked Liu Junming.

"I will definitely help you with this, you said." Liu Junming looked at Zeng Shi with a smile.

"In the past few days, I will take him out of the base to move the 'statue'. At that time, you only need to cooperate with me..." Zeng Shidao told Liu Junming his plan.

"Yeah, this idea is good! By the time he looks at his performance, you can know whether he is a person who values ​​love and friendship, whether he really treats you as a relative, and whether we are worth taking such risk and dedication in him." Liu Junming raised his finger to Zeng Shidao.

...

Three days later.

"Horror City" mobile game, equipment department.

"Boy, come in." Zeng Shidao waved to Jin Ke who was busy outside in the workshop.

"Oh." Jin Ke, who was hanging up in the real world, heard the warning sound of the plug-in of the mobile phone and knew what happened when he hung up. He picked up his phone and looked at it. He found that Zeng Shidao was looking for him, so he quickly responded and manipulated the character into Zeng Shidao's workroom.

After Zeng Shidao closed the hatch of the workroom, he sat down at a table and signaled Jin Ke to sit opposite the table.

On the table was a metal breastplate and a short knife.

"Boy, do you want to know about rune carving?" Zeng Shidao took the initiative to ask Jin Ke.

"Yes!" Jin Ke couldn't help but look forward to Zeng Shidao's words. It seems that because of his hard work and high-quality work, Zeng Shidao's favorability towards him has increased a lot.

Generally speaking, NPCs in the game will have favorability settings. Only when the favorability is high can some special tasks be triggered. I wonder if the tasks that can learn rune engraving technology from Zeng Shidao today will be triggered.

"Do you know why these armor equipment can protect our bodies? Why can these weapons cause damage to wild monsters or our opponents?" Zeng Shidao pointed to the breastplate and short sword on the table and asked Jin Ke a question first.

"Because... they are very sturdy materials made of super alloys?" Jin Ke deliberately pretended to be incomprehensible to satisfy Zeng Shidao's desire to explain.

"No, it's because there are runes with dark energy on it." Zeng Shidao shook his head, then picked up the alloy breastplate, and gently stroked the runes carved on the metal plate with his fingers.

"Oh..." Jin Ke clicked on the alloy armor in Zeng Shidao's hand, and the carved runes could be clearly seen on it. Each stroke of the runes was surrounded by a faint black mist, giving people a very mysterious feeling.
