Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating



84 Retired Blacksmith

When Lu Yu heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense.

Even if there was a powerful force behind the City Lord’s Office, he did not have to be afraid of them.

After all, no matter how powerful they were, they could not affect this tiny satellite city, Lunan City.

Moreover, the wave of Fearsome Beasts besieging Lunan City outside had yet to be completely eradicated, and the people outside could not enter the city easily.

As for offending others, he would think about it later.

Moreover, henceforth Lu Yu would be charting his future development in the Gamma Military Zone, aligning himself with the Military Lord. There was no need for him to be afraid of the City Lord.

As long as Lu Yu was given sufficient time, he could rely on his Gluttony Talent to continuously increase his strength without encountering any bottlenecks.

When he became really powerful, he would be completely fearless.

“That’s right. We still have to attack this time. We must pay them back for this.” Lu Yu said with a nod.

Seeing this, Song Yu didn’t try to dissuade him anymore. She then changed tack and said, “All right then. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to me for help. If I really can’t help you, I’ll ask my father for help. Our Song family can still help a bit.”

Lu Yu nodded slightly and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Lu Yu was about to leave, Chu Shiyu quickly said, “Wait, there’s something else you need to prepare. It’ll be safer this way.”

Hearing this, Lu Yu looked at Chu Shiyu in confusion.

Chu Shiyu smiled and said, “You took the risk to come to the core area of the blood-sucking wasteland to save my life. You even helped me recover from my injuries and increase my strength to a certain extent. I must of course express my gratitude. You should have obtained a batch of rare ores from that mine, right?”

Lu Yu nodded slightly. He had indeed obtained a heap of ores from the mine, and they were extremely rare. Judging from the color, they appeared to be extremely valuable and precious.

However, Lu Yu didn’t know much about these things, so he could only look for someone who knew about these rare ores to appraise them at a later stage.

Chu Shiyu smiled and said, “With this batch of rare ores in your hands and the crystal core of an S-class Earth Dragon, it’s more than enough to forge a powerful weapon. Our Chu family has a branch in Lunan City, and there happens to be a powerful high-level blacksmith residing there. If we ask him for help, he can definitely help you forge a powerful weapon. At that time, you will be more confident when you exact your revenge.”

When Lu Yu heard this, he was immediately tempted.

The Blood Emperor Battle Saber in Lu Yu’s hand had already risen to A-class after absorbing the blood essence of the Earth Dragon, so it was already extremely powerful.

However, compared to Lu Yu’s current Great Grand Master strength, it was still not powerful enough to unleash his full strength.

If he had a stronger weapon, Lu Yu would be able to unleash his full combat strength, and his fighting prowess would be even more terrifying.

However, it was extremely difficult to obtain a powerful weapon that exceeded A-class.

A-class weapons were already extremely rare, let alone even higher grade weapons.

Much to his surprise, Chu Shiyu could actually help him in this aspect.

Song Yu’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “The Chu family’s forging skills are ranked in the top three in our Flame Country. Lu Yu, you’re really lucky this time. With so many rare ores and the crystal core of the Earth Dragon, they will definitely be able to successfully forge a powerful weapon for you.”

Thus, Lu Yu agreed to Chu Shiyu’s suggestion.

Thereafter, they followed Chu Shiyu to the old district of Lunan City.

When they arrived in front of a blacksmith shop, Chu Shiyu stopped in her tracks.

Lu Yu and the others looked over this shop. It looked like an ordinary blacksmith shop and didn’t seem to have any powerful forging chambers.

However, Chu Shiyu smiled and explained, “Don’t be fooled by the external appearance of this blacksmith shop which looks extremely simple and crude. There’s a powerful figure who has been living in seclusion there. However, he does not have a good temper. It’s best that you watch your mouths and don’t speak later. I’ll do all the talking.”

Lu Yu and the others nodded in agreement.

Chu Shiyu stepped forward and knocked on the door. There was no response.

Chu Shiyu knocked on the door a few more times before an impatient voice roared out from inside.

“Who is it? You’re waking me up in the middle of the night! Get lost!”

When Chu Shiyu heard this, her face was filled with joy. She hurriedly shouted, “Uncle Qinglin, Shiyu is here to look for you. Are you not going to meet me?”

There was a moment of silence.

Immediately after that, the door swung open and a middle-aged man walked out.

The middle-aged man was disheveled. It was unknown how long it had been since he had taken a shower, but he reeked of alcohol and an extremely unpleasant smell.

However, the middle-aged man’s brawny muscular body was not to be sniffed at.

The middle-aged man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving him a somewhat scary appearance.

However, when he saw Chu Shiyu, his expression softened and he said with a smile, “It’s really you, Shiyu! I haven’t seen you for a few years and you’ve grown so much. You used to be so little, but now you’ve grown so big.”

As Chu Qinglin spoke, he gestured at his waist and recalled how Chu Shiyu looked when she was still a little girl a few years ago.

Chu Shiyu smiled and said, “Uncle Qinglin, you are too much! You’ve been staying here in seclusion after retiring. You won’t meet anyone in the family!”

When Chu Qinglin heard this, he smiled helplessly and said, “That’s only towards other people. If you come to look for me, I’ll definitely meet you. After all, I watched you grow up!”

After some simple reminiscing, Chu Shiyu quickly got down to business. “Uncle Qinglin, let’s chit chat later. I came to you this time to ask for your help. I want you to help my friend forge a weapon.”

As Chu Shiyu spoke, she pointed at Lu Yu behind her.

Lu Yu walked up and said respectfully, “Hello, Uncle Qinglin.”

Chu Qinglin immediately put on airs and said angrily, “Who do you think you are? How dare you address me as Uncle Qinglin? Go, go, go away! Get lost.”

When Lu Yu heard his response, he was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Chu Qinglin to have such a bad temper. Lu Yu hadn’t even said anything, but the other party was already pulling such a long face.

Song Yu couldn’t stand it anymore. She walked up and said angrily, “Why are you so fierce?”

Chu Qinglin wanted to continue reprimanding him, but Chu Shiyu quickly pulled him over and said, “Uncle Qinglin, I really need your help this time. Can you help my friend forge a weapon?”

Chu Qinglin appeared to be in a difficult position. He said helplessly, “Shiyu, it’s not like you don’t know that I’ve retired for many years. It’s been five years since I’ve forged any weapons or equipment. It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I really can’t.”

Chu Shiyu ignored him and pouted her lips. “To tell you the truth, I was trapped in the blood-sucking wasteland and almost lost my life there. If Lu Yu hadn’t risked his life to save me, you wouldn’t be able to see me anymore for the rest of your life. It’s up to you whether you want to help or not!”

Chu Qinglin was very surprised to hear that. When he heard that Chu Shiyu had almost lost her life, he became very worried.

Now that Chu Shiyu was ignoring him, Chu Qinglin appeared very helpless.

After hesitating for a while, Chu Qinglin looked at Lu Yu with resignation and said, “All right, consider yourself lucky. If you hadn’t saved our Shiyu, I wouldn’t have helped you no matter what. Tell me, what weapon do you want to make? I’ll make an exception for Shiyu’s sake.”

Chu Shiyu, who had been pretending to be sullen, broke into a wide smile when she heard that.
