The black business car headed towards Phoenix City District and entered the parking lot.
"Master Fox, look..."
The business car stopped, Lin Ying, holding a small fox in her arms, got off the car and opened the tailgate of a Five Spirits Van to show Master Fox the gift she had brought him.
"New Energy Warhammer, once ignited, the burning time can reach up to thirty minutes. When the internal material fully reacts, the highest temperature can reach three thousand degrees."
Lin Ying holding the small fox, smiled and introduced the warhammer handle that looked very similar to a Nine-Ring Zen Staff to Master Fox: "Because the manufacturing process considered portability and quick-release replacement of fuel for convenience and durability. The New Energy Warhammer can be divided into two parts: the handle and the octagonal head that can ignite."
"With this warhammer, Master Fox can deliver a heavy blow with triple characteristics of physical, magical, and toxic damage to the opponent, and also avoid the inelegance of wielding an electric car."
Facing Master Fox for a short fifteen minutes, Lin Ying, in a good mood, said more words than she usually says in a day, proactively taking the role of explaining the New Energy Warhammer, elaborating on its power.
However, this item was entirely custom-made for Master Fox. Once assembled, to ensure a good grip and durability, its weight reaches two tons.
And as the burning time progresses, the final weight of the New Energy Warhammer still remains over nine hundred kilograms.
Lin Ying couldn't lift the New Energy Warhammer, so she had to verbally instruct Master Fox on how to use it.
"Crack, crack....."
Ansheng came into the van and lifted the warhammer handle directly onto the hammerhead also in the van, twisting the hammer handle clockwise. The hammerhead emitted a crisp mechanical locking sound, the two parts perfectly combined.
Ansheng tried lifting the warhammer; the craftsmanship of the New Energy Warhammer gifted by Lin Ying was very meticulous. The connection of the two parts showed no gaps; it wouldn't loosen even when shaken, as if it were cast as a single piece, the hand feel was superb.
The hammerhead has angles and protrusions far exceeding the volume of the fuel package to prevent self-ignition upon impact.
Also, due to the angular design, when the hammer strikes a Spirit Beast, the opponent should suffer bruising.
"The bottom of the warhammer is the mechanism. Master Fox, when you use it, thrust it forcefully into the ground. The spike in the handle will pierce through the safety device and activate the self-ignition feature."
Regarding the hammer's safety, design ingenuity, and energy diversion aspects, Lin Ying didn't mention those at all. Master Fox only needed to use it to hammer beasts, and for other aftersales related tasks, a materials company would provide service for him.
"This thing..."
"Lighting it up once shouldn't be cheap, right?"
Ansheng lifted the New Energy Warhammer off the van and swung it in the parking lot, suddenly thinking of a question, he asked Lin Ying.
If memory serves, at the most ridiculous times, new energy battery prices were calculated based on weight.
And that stuff only burns within a range of five hundred to eight hundred degrees, yet Lin Ying's New Energy Warhammer could reach a maximum temperature of three thousand, it was easy to imagine how dense the fuel package's energy must be to unleash such terrifying temperatures.
More amazingly, three thousand degrees wouldn't melt the warhammer.
"........"
Seeing Master Fox inquire about the price, Lin Ying couldn't help but recall the strange fish in Changle River, demanding reward while swimming in the river, after pondering briefly she replied: "Lighting it once, including after-sales service costs should be around seventy thousand."
"But the price is worth it, the Longevity Club during their Spirit Beast hunting actions in war-torn countries, their average cost reaches ten million US dollars, and large-scale searches in the Amazon Rainforest easily hit a billion. Like when infiltrating Jiule City to investigate the White Snake, the overall cost already reached over two hundred million USD."
"Compared to those expenses, Master Fox only needs seventy thousand RMB to defeat a Spirit Beast, it's truly worthwhile. You could even say, the overall cost of the warhammer is less than Master Fox's appearance fee."
Lin Ying felt the high usage cost might impact Master Fox's speed at hammering Spirit Beasts, she decided to give Master Fox a cost breakdown compared to Longevity Club's Spirit Beast hunting costs.
In contrast to Longevity Club's costs.
Master Fox is simply amazing.
The best fox in the world.
Impossible to find another like him.
"......." Ansheng awkwardly turned his head, feeling embarrassed by Lin Ying's straightforward praises.
But deep in his heart, he couldn't help feeling secretly pleased and slightly proud, his head unconsciously starting to tilt upwards at a slight angle.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"When it's time to use it, I will. But for now, let's take a look at the gift I brought you!"
Having been praised by Lin Ying, Ansheng's little fox face was almost red when he hurriedly changed the subject. Ever since graduating elementary school, he hadn't heard such blatant comprehensive praise before, afterward, he only heard harsh comments.
After putting the warhammer back into the van, the small fox stood upright, taking Lin Ying's hand, leading her to the front of the black-painted Raptor, pointing to the door panels in the cargo area.
"Last night during the tomb exploration, I heard Wang Qiqi say these things weren't useful, so I picked them up." Ansheng spoke: "They might not look like much, but the door panels are creations from the last Spiritual Power Recovery period."
"Their hardness and toughness are incredibly high, even after fiddling with them for over ten minutes with the Golden Leopard, we couldn't scratch them."
"Perhaps......by analyzing their metal molecular structure, we can gain further understanding of the past and present of the Spiritual Energy Recovery era."
Ansheng patted the door panels, chuckling softly.
Yesterday in the ruins, it was evident from Wang Qiqi's words that their security bureau had acquired similar Spiritual Particle Metal and had surely researched it.
Otherwise, how could they quickly and accurately recognize the item's origin and era of creation?
Since it wasn't unique, Ansheng followed a southern saying and brought it home.
"Find a treasure." And when you find treasure on the ground, asking heaven and earth won't retrieve it.
Lin Ying looked at the Spiritual Particle Metal, then at Master Fox standing with arms akimbo.
"Thank you..."
She only glanced at the Spiritual Particle Metal briefly before turning to Master Fox, earnestly saying: "Thank you for braving danger to fulfill my requests, even those that could be considered capricious and....."
"Shoo shoo shoo!"
Standing in the cargo area, Ansheng was able to reach out and hold Lin Ying's mouth shut. He extended his hand, covered Lin Ying's mouth, slightly lifting his fox head:
"You simply needed a little help, and I could provide it. What's all this about thanks or not? When you have time, scratch my chin more often, make me feel comfortable."
On a fox's head, next to the ears, the chin, and where the tail connects to the butt, due to densely packed sensory nerves, touching those areas feels akin to itching or similar to the human feeling of ear cleaning.
Ansheng didn't know before, but Ah Qing discovered it through thorough exploration.
Compared to the head and butt, itching the chin always brought pleasantness to Ansheng.
"Alright."
Lin Ying watched Master Fox, slowly extending her palm, full of serious intent to gently scratch Master Fox.
Just as her palm touched him briefly, Lin Bingyun, who had been waiting outside the parent-child parking spaces, knocked lightly on the car door with a phone displaying a lit-up screen, reminding the pair inside of their presence.
"Master Fox, Miss Wang Qiqi says there's an emergency to inform you, asking if you can respond to the call immediately." Lin Bingyun asked.
"An emergency call....."
Ansheng looked at Lin Bingyun, then at the door panel placed at his feet, showing a strange expression as he asked:
"Could she...be here protecting her food?"
"What food guarding! Who are you calling a food guard? You heartless fox! Yesterday you asked me to help you apply for a security bureau banner, hey! I got the honorary principal to present the award, and you're whispering behind my back!"
When Lin Bingyun was asking, although she covered the mouthpiece, she underestimated the microphone's sensitivity and Wang Qiqi's keen senses.
Wang Qiqi didn't hear the entire phrase but upon hearing the term 'food guardian', she immediately imagined Master Fox whispering about her.
