If it weren't for reading a thread on blacksmith analysis last night, Ning Zheng wouldn't be so eager to try.

The practical effect was quite good.

Returning to the shop, Ning Zheng directly put the person down.

"Pedestrians... Guests... Drawing cards." Su Yuniang gazed expectantly at the street outside the door.

At this time, seeing the old steward carrying a little beggar over, she displayed a shocked expression.

What's happening here?

The old steward deserves to be a Demon Cultivator big shot, so fierce.

Learning from the Shi Family next door, kidnapping people?

The Shi Family next door, their kidnappings are all about looting small tombs.

But our old steward is impressive, directly robbing this official big tomb, packing and taking people away?

Su Yuniang's imagination was vast.

So with this Scaly Gate, should we also start dismantling streets, fences, and directly move bricks?

Our main goal is to leave nothing untouched, and fiercely teach the owner of this tomb a lesson!

Ning Zheng put the person down and said:

"A little thief I encountered on the street, she ate food worth twenty Spirit Stones, so it's considered a selling contract. She'll stay in the shop doing odd jobs until she earns enough to pay back, then she'll be free."

"It's ultimately an act of kindness, people can't steal things forever. It's better to bring her back for proper work and learn a skill."

The little beggar lying on the ground moved her eyelids subtly.

"The old steward is merciful!"

Su Yuniang gave a thumbs up.

The little girl was skinny, wearing gray linen clothes, covered with scars, with a large patch of her face disfigured, making her look very ugly.

"Poor child, disfigured like this."

Su Yuniang sighed and took her to the second floor of the shop to change clothes.

Ning Zheng didn't stay long, and after a short inspection without any developmental issues, continued to walk outside, resuming his street exploration.

He spent several hours exploring the distant street, moving forward.

He planned to continue discovering new characters.

At the very least, identify their identity, gender, location first.

"Yeah, catch them one by one, ancient saints, all working in my shop."

"Founding generals cooking, ancient war gods as waiters, Xinyi King cleaning the floor..."

"The main idea is finding is profiting."

Ning Zheng spoke confidently.

But if he discovered new unknown individuals, he planned to record them, but wouldn't bring them back for work at the shop!

After all, the little beggar was a lucky coincidence; bringing her back wasn't out of place.

If it's the likes of a bookstore owner, vendor, or waiter, forcefully bringing them back would seem too abrupt.

Simultaneously.

If he kept bringing them back, everyone would know he had issues with the collection.

Ning Zheng wasn't foolish.

"It's really simple, unlike those scholars wandering around, performing madly, finding people is so hard."

"Nowadays, I catch hide and seek, dizzying them to carry back home, arguably good performance, right?"

Ning Zheng pondered.

If the relationship is good, he could link to this thread, having a backing in Xinyi Continent City.

It's like having a free ancestor here, so no one dares bully his family.

But how is a good relationship defined?

Not quite sure.

At any rate, he had very luckily found someone, and should see how the blacksmiths enhanced goodwill.

Ning Zheng wandered again without finding anyone, and instead reached a crowded square.

In the center of the square stood an elderly man with an immortal aura, beside him a gray monument glowed with mystical patterns.

A group of children lined up.

"Wang Xiao, Fire Series Mixed Spirit Root."

"Li Wanqi, Middle Grade Water Spirit Root."

"Li Er, Mortal."

...

As the detection progressed, many parents with children showed varied expressions.

There were cries, joy to the point of madness, despair, even beating and scolding returning sons, yelling for being unambitious.

Ning Zheng silently watched this scene: Is this the detection of Spiritual Roots from ancient times?

People from ancient times were inherently unequal.

At least in this era, those without Spiritual Roots can still plant Spiritual Roots, and at least get an education.

But regardless of the era, parents from each family similarly hope their children become dragons, anticipating immortals in the family.

...

On the second floor of the shop.

Gao slowly awakened, confusedly looking around.

"You're awake, my name is Su Yuniang," Su Yuniang asked.

Gao looked at the older sister named Su Yuniang before her, with clear eyes full of a foolish innocence, very naive.

Clearly easy to deceive, the kind of kind girl.

She usually targeted people like this while stealing, since they were whirlwind with love and easily deceived.

"Hello, my name is Gao." The little girl shyly smiled, "Big sister, where is this place?"

The old steward was a bit scary, finally met someone easy to bully.

Su Yuniang smiled cleanly and innocently:

"Hmm... your injuries are quite serious, scars all over, staying here for a while, sister will take good care of you, just help us with odd jobs as usual."

Su Yuniang figured this free NPC could just explore some information from afar.

"Then work hard here to collect information from around, gather intelligence from all places."

"The Earth-bound Spirits here seem to receive special bonuses, their travel ranges are far, far beyond these trash embers like Jiucai Rong."

"Okay." Gao nodded.

"From now on, stay at the shop, manage guests and do odd jobs." Su Yuniang smiled as she took her downstairs, introducing the shop's operations, members, and products.

"Hello."

The Medical Fairy smiled wickedly, "Sister can help you with surgery, dig out your brain, fill your body, and make you perfectly whole."

"Brain... dig out?" Gao seemed to remember something, feeling immense pain.

"You guys, your shop..." Gao paused, "It seems very interesting."

"Don't scare people." Su Yuniang laughed, "Our shop is a legitimate cosmetic surgery, conveniently able to restore your body."

"Poor little girl."

The Medical Fairy was also overwhelmed with compassion, instructing Dizzy and Embers Jiucai Rong to guard the entrance, while she took people to the back to restore the body.

"Can this be restored?" Su Yuniang asked curiously.

"I'm not too sure, because she doesn't have brain matter, nor is she alive, the soul bubble is just this scar shape."

The Medical Fairy didn't shy away, for the ghost naturally became reasonable.

Su Yuniang asked, "So traditional cosmetic methods can't be used?"

The Medical Fairy nodded, "It can be restored, but I estimate that after a while, the flesh will wriggle, returning to its current state, and scar restoration is too superficial, it will fall off with a touch."

"Anyway, I'll give it a try, find a long-term solution."

The Medical Fairy showed a pitying look, "I wonder what hardships she suffered in life, little girl, where is your home? Who are your parents?"

"All my family died while fleeing, leaving only me." The little girl looked very well-behaved, "I've been begging with friends all along, planning to participate in the annual Immortal Inquiry Conference."

"Immortal Inquiry Conference?" Su Yuniang was curious.

"It's when immortals descend from the mountain to check the twelve-year-olds for Spiritual Root." The little girl said.

Su Yuniang froze for a moment.

She thought this girl looked thirteen or fourteen, but she's only twelve?

Ancient humans, in height and physique, were stronger than modern humans by a margin?

...

Dusk.

Ning Zheng returned to the villa, ate at the prison, and immediately rested.

He looked at the forum, where discussions about development were happening everywhere.

And it developed extremely fast, vaguely starting to have the momentum of a second-tier small family in Pingchang City!

Because those second-tier small families basically have Middle Tier professionals.

First was the blacksmith shop section.

Due to memory acceptance, several talented people stepped into the ranks of mid-rank blacksmiths in the last few days.

Still studying which middle grade Spiritual Root to choose as material.

There are too many middle grade Spiritual Roots on the procurement list, it's overwhelming.

They plan to choose ten from them, apply for procurement from the old steward, then bring them back to open the Spiritual Roots and forge Magical Artifacts to see the effect.

These ten must be carefully selected.

Thinking that among them, the Divine Techniques crafted in the Magical Artifacts must be useful.

Middle Tier blacksmiths have been troubled by this for the last few days.

Ning Zheng saw this and nodded slightly:

"I estimate that once the middle grade Spiritual Roots are selected, the first batch of middle grade Magical Artifacts will be out soon, hoping the shop sells well."

Spirit Farmer zone also showed the emergence of Middle Tier Spirit Farmer.

But only one Mudworker.

And he barely upgraded after consuming two Middle Tier Experience Books and taking a hefty loan of ten thousand Magic Coins.

After all, the Spirit Farmer zone started relatively late.

Judging only by experience, his foundational accumulation is indeed not as good as Daojiu.

Nonetheless, a Middle Tier Spirit Farmer did appear, fully cultivating the Blood Separation Flower and Soul Separation Flower, and researching various industries.

But in the Alchemy Room, due to purchasing Experience Books, a low tier Alchemist appeared, concocting some basic Pill Medicine.

Ning Zheng doesn't emphasize the Alchemy Room.

Mainly to digest the by-products of the Spirit Farmer profession, some Companion Spirit Grass and plants.

The low tier Pill Medicine crafted from them was not intended for sale, but for blacksmiths to enhance practice speed.

Therefore.

The current main core is still the blacksmith shop and Spirit Farmer, these two areas.

Now, everyone is chatting.

Daojiu: "The ultra-large card pool officially launched, the shop is just a card drawing zone, as long as you fool people to come in, they can draw cards, a small chance to draw mythic cards, many ancient saints, and the legendary ancient Saint King - Xinyi King."

"Xinyi King was a fierce figure in the founding period, rumored to be brothers with the Saint, distributing territories and borders!"

Su Yuniang: "Hahaha, so much fun, operating the shop these days, super fun, business rivalry, guest reception, way better than me being an Enchanter at the villa,

I've been squatting for days, observing which passerby seems like a hidden big boss, secretly visiting our shop, incognito observing.jpg."

Jiucai Rong: "That's something you can't perceive, those big bosses definitely hide extremely deep, otherwise, how could it be called incognito observing?"

Food God: "It's hilarious, just the Scaly Gate area alone has an ancient tomb with millions of people, quite like the area of one province on Earth, the card drawing chance among the population is one in several thousands, it's not that simple."

Everyone agrees.

The scholars here are all cunning, when they come to the Historical Corridor, they probably all transform into top detectives, searching everywhere.

The several thousand to one chance is too difficult!

Moreover, the big boss isn't necessarily right in their tomb.

They might have gone to the Central Ring, the real living area, in incognito observing over there, which would make it even harder to find.

Of course, they may not necessarily role-play.

They might be indulging in laziness, reluctant to go out, happily sleeping at home, isn't that nicer?

The probability is too low!

So, more often it becomes a kind of legend.

Shao Chaikun: "Today, the old steward brought a little beggar, do you think this person might be a hidden ancient saint?"

Mudworker: "You mean the planners changed our card draw rate, immediately exploding SSR, stuffing them into our home? That's unlikely right?"

Shrimp Catcher: "(￣ ii￣;), the planners wouldn't dare to openly manipulate, right?"

Su Yuniang: "Blatantly changing data would be excessive! But if it's the game planners running this... help, they have a history of it!"

Everyone started breathing heavily.
