"Hehe, old man Zeng, why are you still so anxious? It's complicated, so let me tell you slowly! Liu Junming picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, with a very enjoyable expression.

Zeng Shidao didn't urge anymore, but he kept the teapot in his hand, and the meaning was obvious, that is, if you don't say it again, don't want to get even another cup of tea from me.

"That's right, I think I and Xiao Ke are quite compatible, plus he is your apprentice! Like a relative to you, so I did a free soul energy test for him, guess what the result of the test was? Liu Junming sold Guan Zi.

"Say it, get out if you don't say it!" Zeng Shidao did not praise Liu Junming's sale at all.

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

"What did you say?"

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

"This kid is too unlucky, isn't he?" Zeng Shidao's face also became ugly.

"In this base, you are the only person who knows my secret, you know how hard I have been over the years, I can see that Xiao Ke is a very strong kid, this matter must be a big blow to him, if possible, I really want to help him." Liu Junming took advantage of Zeng Shidao's somewhat flustered gap, snatched the teapot from his hand, and poured himself another cup of tea.

"You mean...... What about that 'statue' you hid in the temple? Zeng Shidao was silent for a long time before he spoke.

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

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

"I gave up a long time ago, I'm so old, there's no point in tossing anymore, but Xiao Ke is still young, maybe that 'statue' can help him. You can imagine how much it cost me to get the recipe for this soul elixir, and the precious raw materials I have accumulated, I am afraid that they will all expire if I put them in the future. Only by getting the eggs in the statue and matching your runes can you make it successfully. Liu Junming lowered his voice.

"Bringing eggs back to the base is a serious offense, and if anyone finds out, we're all going to jail! The stakes are too great! Zeng Shidao shook his head again.

"I know, so I'm just casually talking to you, Xiao Ke is your apprentice, treat you as a relative, and maybe I will help you support your old age in the future. It's up to you to decide what to do and whether to help him or not. If he didn't have a soul splitting potion, he would be inferior for the rest of his life; With the Soul Splitting Elixir, maybe he will become a wonder material. Liu Junming said with bright eyes as he poured the last cup of tea from the teapot into the cup.

Zeng Shidao didn't squeak, and kept pondering.

"I've heard before that double soul bodies and multiple soul bodies will also have an advantage over ordinary people if they learn rune carving, old man Zeng, you should know more about this than me, right?" Liu Junming continued to knock on the side.

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

"Don't I have two documents? You make one for me to try first, and if it's okay, I'll give it to him, and my old bones won't be of much use anyway. Liu Junming immediately mentioned it to Zeng Shidao.

"Speaking of which, you still haven't given up." Zeng Shidao saw through Liu Junming at a glance.

"Ahem...... What if I don't give up? This life has been set, and I can't practice even if I succeed in splitting my soul at my age. I think the most important thing is that we two old bachelors still have to find a way to cultivate Xiao Ke. That soul elixir is really successful, I will have some other benefits and creations for him in the future, if he is a person who values love and righteousness, his scenery in the future will be our scenery. Liu Junming continued to sip the last cup of tea slowly.

"In this way, before this matter, you can do me a favor first, test whether he is reliable or not, and whether he really treats me as a relative, so that I can decide whether to take such a big risk for him. You've done me a favor, and I won't treat you badly when the next tea harvest comes. Zeng Shidao pondered for a while and then mentioned it to Liu Junming.

"I'll help you with that, you say." Liu Junming looked at Zeng Shidao with a smile.

"In the next few days, I will take him out of the base to carry the 'statue', and you only need to cooperate with me when the time comes......" Zeng Shidao told Liu Junming about his plan.

"Uh-huh, that's a good idea! When the time comes, you can see whether he is a person who values love and righteousness, whether he really treats you as a relative, and whether it is worth it for us to take such risks and invest in him. Liu Junming gave Zeng Shidao a thumbs up.

……

Three days later.

"Horror City" mobile game, equipment department.

"Boy, come in." Zeng Shidao beckoned 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 mobile phone plug-in, and knew what happened when he hung up, he picked up the phone and looked at it, and found that it was Zeng Shidao looking for him, so he hurriedly responded and manipulated the character into Zeng Shidao's workshop.

After Zeng Shidao closed the door of the workshop, he sat down at a table and motioned for Jin Ke to sit on the opposite side of the table.

On the table was an alloy cuirass and a short knife.

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

"That's right!" When Jin Ke heard Zeng Shidao say this, he couldn't help but have some expectations, it seems that because of his hard work and high-quality work, Zeng Shidao's favorability towards him has increased a lot.

Generally speaking, the NPCs in the game will have a favorability setting, and only when the favorability is high can some special tasks be triggered, I don't know if it will trigger a task that can learn rune carving techniques from Zeng Shidao today.

"Do you know why these armor pieces protect our bodies? Why do these weapons deal damage to creeps or our opponents? Zeng Shidao pointed to the cuirass and short knife on the table, and asked Jin Ke a question first.

"Because...... Are they made of superalloys that are very strong? Jin Ke deliberately pretended not to understand to satisfy Zeng Shidao's desire to explain.

"No, it's because of the runes that contain dark energy on it." Zeng Shidao shook his head, then picked up the alloy cuirass, his fingers caressing the runes carved on the metal plate.

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