Super Island Tycoon

Indeed, seeing Yanran’s expression, the Master of Casting laughed heartily, his laughter carrying a hint of pride and excitement.

He said to Yanran, ”How is it, the weapon I crafted for you isn’t bad, right?”

Yanran’s beautiful face beamed, ”Not just good, it’s simply amazing!”

She looked again at the claw that fitted perfectly with her palm, silently waiting for the Master of Casting’s response.

The Master of Casting sighed, but his sigh was full of relief: ”It was truly a stroke of luck, I’ve been holding onto this meteorite, unable to find a suitable use for it, so it’s been sitting there untouched until suddenly I remembered it last time.”

The Master of Casting found a spot to sit, gesturing for Jiang Cheng and Yanran to sit down as well.

He continued: after refining the meteorite, I was even more certain that I had extracted a type of material I had never seen before, and considering I’ve been dealing with various materials all my life, the fact that I encountered something new was immensely surprising.

Jiang Cheng and Yanran nodded to show understanding. For those who have reached the apex in certain domains, discovering anything new, whether an item or a research method, has become exceedingly rare, considering they’ve spent decades, if not longer, researching in their familiar fields.

The Master of Casting continued: ”Besides confirming this as an active metal, it seems to be imbued with something else that I can’t quite articulate; I can’t figure out what substance it is.”

He looked at Yanran, ”You’ll discover some additional functions while using it.”

He seemed to have recalled something again: ”This substance seems...” perhaps he deemed his thoughts too whimsical, so he stopped mid-sentence.

Well then, I’ve fulfilled your request, so you must agree to do something for me,” the Master of Casting deftly shifted the topic, smilingly looking at Yanran as he spoke.

Yanran nodded, determined to fulfill this elder’s request.

The Master of Casting nodded contentedly. Indeed, he hadn’t misjudged, for the young girl had agreed before any request was even uttered.

This meant whatever he asked of her, she would endeavor to accomplish it.

My request is,” the Master of Casting intentionally drew out his words, ”when you have free time you must come visit me, hmm, considering you’re quite busy, at least once a year; how’s that, not too much to ask, right?”

Yanran was silent for a moment.

The Master of Casting was a bit disappointed, ”Well then, once a year...”

Yanran interrupted him, ”Once a year won’t suffice! At least four times a year!” She winked at the Master of Casting, ”If you’re not satisfied, then five times a year, okay?”

Watching the mischievous little girl before him, the Master of Casting couldn’t help but gently flick her forehead, ”You little rascal, joking around with this old man.”

Alright, let’s settle on twice a year.”

The three of them laughed heartily, their joyful laughter dispelling the cold atmosphere of the Master of Casting’s home, something extremely rare.

As they reluctantly bid farewell to this kind old man, the Master of Casting told Jiang Cheng and Yanran that he now has a new goal, he’s planning (hopefully) to explore the history of their race from the source, documenting their existence, the major events they’ve experienced, customs, and more, hoping to write a book to commemorate their soon-to-be-extinct species.

The Master of Casting felt this was more meaningful than staying cooped up at home every day.

So, he told Jiang Cheng and Yanran, once they left, he too planned to pack up and embark on a journey to potential places in search of related information.

Yanran repeatedly urged the Master of Casting not to overexert himself, given his advanced age, he must take care of his health, do things according to his capacity, and if she visits him and finds him unwell, she’ll be upset.

After a brief reunion, this elderly and young member of the Alorri Busby Fergus race embarked on their respective journeys once again.

Hopefully, their next meeting won’t be too far off.

The Master of Casting truly lived up to his reputation, the weapon he crafted for Yanran was practically a masterpiece, while also perfectly meeting Yanran’s needs.

Moreover, the material of this weapon was extremely special, a rare active metal that would adapt based on Yanran’s use.

Yanran was very satisfied with this weapon.

After their heartfelt farewell, Jiang Cheng and Yanran headed towards the satellite of Erma Planet where Ba Lv resides.

If it were only Jiang Cheng, he could’ve teleported directly given the short distance, but now that he’s with Yanran, he had to take a transport spaceship.

The satellite where Ba Lv resides is called Harry, and aboard the flight to Harry Satellite sat all sorts of people from different planets, and it seemed none of them were ordinary folk.

Jiang Cheng and Yanran had just sat down when someone next to them started talking to them proactively.

Mister, Miss, are you going to Harry Planet for business or tourism?”

Jiang Cheng ignored him, and Yanran didn’t reply either.

That person didn’t mind at all, continuing to speak self-assuredly.

”If you need accommodation, please go to Old Harry’s Inn, the owner is my uncle, I could get you an 80% discount.”

At this point, he seemed to recall something and quickly introduced himself: ”I’m Corey, very pleased to meet you both.”

Despite being quite talkative, this person wasn’t overwhelmingly annoying.

This Corey said he had lived on Harry Planet since childhood, describing it as an exciting and unforgettable place for many. Then, he gave Jiang Cheng a wink as if implying something.

Next, he turned to Yanran, showing enthusiasm, warning that a beautiful lady like her should not wander around Harry Planet alone. If a young Miss like Yuan Liang accidentally enters somewhere she shouldn’t, she’d end up ’knocked’ around, and his words implied that everyone would understand what he meant.

Yanran turned her head away, unwilling to look at his carefree demeanor.

Jiang Cheng, however, started talking to him, inquiring about whether Harry Planet was chaotic and if it was a place where Dark World people acted lawlessly.

Before Corey could answer, another nearby person interjected.

According to him, if they went to Harry Planet for fun and excitement, and behaved properly, absolutely no one would trouble them.

If they sought adventure, at this point that person piped up enthusiastically, saying Harry Planet was definitely a place worth exploring, provided one had sufficient skill.

This person, with his burly physique and surly face, definitely didn’t look like a good person.
