Ji Dong swallowed his saliva.
When he saw the bow, he had a strong urge to pick it up and use it.
He didn’t know what the poundage of the pitch-black bowstring was, what the pulling force was, whether it would fit his habits or not, he just had an inexplicable feeling that this was the greatest weapon for himself that he could encounter in the [Peach Blossom Spring].
“Oh, do you like this bow?”
Yao Wanguan appeared like a spirit behind him taking the opportunity when he was fascinated by the bow, “If you like it, you can pick it up and feel it for yourself oh!”
Ji Dong turned back in surprise, “Really? I can try it out?”
The whale-headed stork raised his cheeks and smiled like a Disney animal with anthropomorphic special effects, “Sure, go ahead!”
When he saw that Ji Dong really reached out to take the black bow named [Lone Silence], he immediately turned into an enthusiastic salesman and started to recommend the product with great zeal.
“This bow is very flexible in its usage and can be adjusted to suit your preferred type and strength according to your habits..”
Yao Wanguan instructed Ji Dong on how to use the bow.
“Just imagine what kind of bow you need…”
Before he finished his words, the bow in Ji Xiao’niao’s hand was showing subtle changes, especially the black string which had become visibly thicker.
“Oh, not bad, not bad!”
Yao Wanguan flapped his wings, “You’ve already figured out how to use it, it seems as if it was made just for you!”
Ji Dong was shocked that the bow could really adjust itself according to his habits and pulled the strings full.
But because he had strengthened his body, the bowstring poundage he used before now felt too light for him. After increasing the weight by another ten pounds, Ji Xiao’niao drew it back to the fullest, it felt much more comfortable in this way.
“I have the set of matching arrows here.”
Yao Wanguan rubbed his wingtips and said with a smile.
“There are seven in total, and if you use them in the [Film], you’ll need to recycle them yourself, in case you are unable to do so, they will be automatically refreshed once you return to the [Peach Blossom Spring].”
Ji Dong nodded and reluctantly repeated the string-pulling action twice more.
——Unfortunately, I can’t try to use a bow here, otherwise…
The strong sixth sense in Ji Xiao’niao’s heart resurfaced again
——Otherwise, he would definitely be able to shoot accurately.
“That’s right, that’s right!”
Yao Wanguan attentively examined Ji Dong’s expression and found it extremely promising, so he raised his voice a few notches in excitement.

Ji Dong: “!!!”
If he hadn’t watched it turn from a bow into a bracelet, he wouldn’t have believed that there is such an extraordinary weapon!
“… Then how do I change it back?”
Ji Dong asked.
“Say the phrase ‘[Lone Silence] restore’.”
As soon as his words fell, the black bracelet clasped on his wrist emitted a series of clicks one after another, stretching out and reverting back to the shape of a bow.
Yao Wanguan clapped his wings, and his tone was very complimentary.
“Amazing! That’s amazing! I don’t even need to tell you how to do it, it really is fate! Fate!”
Ji Dong was really moved.
He felt like an office working woman standing in front of a limited edition bag, “I want that” in red-gold characters were the only things in her head, but her deflated wallet and the due-next-month Huabei credit told her “No you don’t”.
Ji Dong bit his lips in turmoil.
“This bow, how many points does it cost?”
“This is an S-class collectible, one of the rarest weapons, so naturally, it will be a little bit expensive.”
Yao Wanguan approached him with a smile, and told him a number:
“200000 points.”
Ji Dong drew a breath of cold air.
Even if he wanted to buy it, he couldn’t afford it.
He could only reluctantly put [Lone Silence] back on the bracket.
“I don’t have that many points right now.”
Ji Xiao’niao replied calmly: “However, I will try to earn points to exchange for it in the future!”
Of course, he hoped that it wouldn’t take too long. At least, he hoped that before he obtains 200000 points, no one else will buy the bow.
This reaction was anticipated by Yao Wanguan
He raised his wings and rubbed his long beak with the tip of the wing, the feather-covered bird face forced out a “difficult” expression.
“Well, I’ll be honest with you…”
The whale-headed stork lowered his voice.
“Once you’ve experienced more [Films], you’ll understand how difficult it is to obtain weapon-type collectibles, especially the S-class ones, which are akin to treasures. It’s a rarity you don’t come across often. I don’t receive such special goods often, so it’s common that ‘experienced’ players who accumulated points will come here to exchange for a weapon, regardless of whether they can use it or not.”
He paused, a pair of bean-eyes blinked, sincerely staring at Ji Dong, “So, apart from here, you won’t find another store like this!”
Ji Dong silently clenched his back teeth and did not speak.
He could not deny that this tailor-made weapon was indeed very appealing to him.
“Ai…”
Yao Wanguan let out a sigh.
“Seeing how much you like it, and given that you’re someone who knows how to use it, you are indeed destined with it…”
Seeing that the bedding was almost ready, the whale headed stork made a big move:
“How about this, I will suffer a big loss today… and let you exchange the [Moon God Stone] for [Lone Silence]!”
Ji Dong: “……”
Although it is also an S-class collectible, when the bird offered him a bid for the [Moon God Stone] just now, he only offered 40,000 points.
Even going by the principle of bargaining and pulling the strings back and forth, in the end, there will be a slight change but compared to 200,000 points, the difference in zeros was unbelievable!
——And…
Thinking of this, Ji Dong shook his head, “I can’t do this transaction.”
He looked at Ren Jianmo and Mo Tiangen next to him and explained.
“The [Moon God Stone] is considered a joint possession of the three of us, and I cannot alone decide whether it stays or goes just for my own needs.”
——And, when things go wrong, there must be demons, for a shrewd second-rate dealer to offer to trade the [Moon God Stone] for the S-rank weapon that he said was particularly rare and best-selling, meant that the value of the stone must not be lower than that bow.
Ji Xiao’niao made up his mind that he would never easily offer it up until he had researched what exactly the [Moon God Stone] had to offer.
“Okay, then, you can go back and discuss it among yourself first.”
Yao Wanguan’s eyes swept over Ji Dong and the others’ faces one by one and shrugged regretfully.
“However, this good bow won’t wait for anyone, so you should make up your mind as soon as possible!”
Before the three left the store, they each received a business card from Yao Wanguan.
As long as they had this card, they could contact him at any time and patronize his store at any time.
In the words of the whale-headed stork himself, “Although the difficulty level of the first three [Films] is relatively low, if a player can stimulate the hidden ending and obtain an S-level collectible in the F-level difficulty. There is no doubt about their luck and strength, and they will definitely be my regular visitors in the future”.
However, Ji Dong felt that the reason Yao Wanguan was so enthusiastic about them boiled down to the [Moon God Stone].
——After going back, I still have to think carefully about what the [Moon God Stone] is for…
Ji Xiaoniao massaged his forehead and felt a little headache.
Today’s trip, although he has gained a lot of information, and also a lot of insight, what followed was even more questions.
Ji Dong turned his head and looked at Ren Jianmo beside him.
——Don’t know what Ren Jianmo was thinking, should he find time to discuss this with him?
“That’s right.”
Ji Xiao’niao was still quietly using the corner of his eye to glance at Ren Jianmo beside him when he suddenly spoke:
“It’s not too early now, let’s go to the Hourglass Cube to draw lots in the afternoon.”
Ji Dong and Mo Tiangen were both quite surprised when they heard this, “You mean, this afternoon?”
Although they spent quite a long while at the store, there was still an hour or so until noon, which was more than enough time for them to make a quick stop at the Hourglass Cube.
Ren Jianmo nodded and gave his reasons.
“Watching the previews requires a lot of concentration, so it’s best to recharge yourself.”
Ji Dong thought about it and found it quite reasonable.
After all, they had consumed a lot of mental energy in Yao Wanguan’s store, so there was nothing wrong with resting first.
“Then let’s make an appointment for three o’clock in the afternoon…”
—————–
‘Lian Ge’, in the store.
“Click”, the round arch-shaped door opened.
“Aiya Aiya, you are really back.”
Sitting at a long table, the whale-headed stork with tarot cards arranged in a cross star formation raised his head, shook his huge beak, and said in a low and magnetic voice, “My divination is indeed correct, today is not suitable to go out. An old friend is visiting.”
Ren Jianmo walked into the store, and the door of the room behind him then closed.
“You knew me from before?”
He waved the small business card in his hand, although the business cards Yao Wanguan gave to all three were the same, the one Ren Jianmo received had a tiny line of text written on the back: “You have collectibles deposited with me, you are welcome to retrieve it at any time.”
“Haha.”
Yao Wanguan stood up and staggered over to the guest, “This is the first time I’ve seen you like this.”
Then he tilted his head and stared at Ren Jianmo’s face with a pair of bean-eyes, he looked at him from multiple angles and sighed, “So, your face under the mask looks like this, really handsome… tsk tsk, really worthy of your nickname the ‘King of Lanling’…”
Then Yao Wanguan patted the bird’s beak with his wings and shook his head, “However, it looks like you don’t even remember it, right?”
woahhhh im gonna bet Ren Jianmo will get the bow for Ji Dong 👀👀
