"I haven't surrendered yet!"
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Yang Yu also shouted out.
"But you've already stepped out of the circle."
Hu Ke'er reminded him again.
"Huh?"
Yang Yu was slightly stunned. When he looked down, he indeed found that he was already outside the circle.
"How could this happen?!"
"You've lost. You're not going to renege on it, are you?"
To prevent Yang Yu from going back on his word, Chen Tianyi didn't put away his flying sword. Instead, he controlled it to hover quietly beside him.
"I admit it. But about the bet..."
As Yang Yu said this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"What's wrong? Do you want to renege on your debt?"
Seeing Yang Yu's coy look, Hu Ke'er frowned slightly.
"That's not it. It's just that I don't have the authority to decide this matter."
Yang Yu blushed and said with a pained expression as he gritted his teeth.
"Ah?"
Hearing Yang Yu's words, Hu Ke'er and Chen Tianyi both showed surprised expressions.
"I'm just the one sent here to keep watch. I don't have that much power to decide this, so I can't meet your request."
Yang Yu turned his head and said.
"Are you kidding me? At this point, you tell me you can't do it?"
Chen Tianyi also said angrily.
"Well... how about this? How about changing it to something you can do?"
Hu Ke'er rubbed her chin and thought for a while before saying.
"Sure. As long as I can do it, I'll definitely do it!"
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Yang Yu gently patted his chest.
"You said so yourself. You can't go back on your word this time!"
"Never!"
Yang Yu promised.
"Just tell me what you want me to do, miss!"
"This is a really simple thing. I just hope you'll turn a blind eye when this uncle helps me forge weapons and don't report it."
"This..."
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Yang Yu showed a hesitant expression.
"What's wrong? Didn't you just say you'd definitely do it and wouldn't go back on your word?"
Seeing Yang Yu's look of about to renege again, Hu Ke'er quickly resorted to reverse psychology.
"Well, let me think about it."
Yang Yu frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, he began to ask questions.
"How long will it take you to forge the weapons?"
"It should be quite fast. It won't take a few hours!"
"Well... okay then. I'll keep watch for you. Hurry up. You only have two hours!"
"Okay!"
Hearing Yang Yu's agreement, Hu Ke'er quickly nodded and said.
"Junior sister, although we've dealt with the guards from the Shu Sect, the blacksmith uncle still won't forge weapons for us. With these two hours and subtracting the time we need to persuade the blacksmith, it might not be enough at all!"
Seeing Hu Ke'er and Yang Yu reach an agreement, Chen Tianyi also reminded her in a low voice.
"Please come in, masters."
Just as Chen Tianyi finished speaking, the young man from before gently pushed open the wooden door of the blacksmith shop and said softly to Hu Ke'er and Chen Tianyi.
"Hehe, it seems we'll make it in time."
Hu Ke'er said with a smile.
"It's good if we can make it in time!"
After Chen Tianyi said that, he followed Hu Ke'er into the blacksmith shop.
"What was that you used just now?"
As soon as the two of them came in front of the old blacksmith and before they had a chance to speak, they saw the old blacksmith with an excited look on his face and directly asked.
"Well, it's just a spiritual energy tank and a few small iron beads inscribed with detonation talismans."
Hu Ke'er said softly.
"A spiritual energy tank and detonation talisman iron beads? I've never seen such weapons before!"
The old man said after hearing Hu Ke'er's words.
"You're the first ones who can combine things related to cultivators with these ordinary materials to come up with such strange things. I'm really curious which one of you two came up with this idea?"
"It was me."
Hu Ke'er didn't hide it and said generously.
"Oh? I didn't expect a girl like you to come up with these strange things."
The old blacksmith looked at Hu Ke'er again with a scrutinizing look.
"It's not entirely my own idea. These two things are quite common in my hometown, so there's nothing strange about them."
After all, the spiritual energy tank was just like a gas tank, and the iron beads with detonation talismans were not much different from bullets.
"Oh? Where are you from, girl?"
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, the old blacksmith showed a surprised expression.
"It's a very, very far place. As for what it's called exactly... I'd better not say for now."
She couldn't exactly say that she had traveled from another world. For now, Hu Ke'er could only barely conceal it.
"Since you don't want to say, then forget it."
The old blacksmith saw Hu Ke'er's attitude and didn't force her. He just asked softly.
"Then is the weapon you want me to make this time the spiritual energy tank?"
"Of course not!"
Hu Ke'er shook her head to deny. At the same time, Chen Tianyi took out the drawing that Hu Ke'er had drawn before.
"Uncle Blacksmith, take a look at this. This is what we want to make this time."
"Okay."
The old blacksmith took the drawing from Chen Tianyi's hand and replied.
"This is..."
The old blacksmith gently unfolded the drawing in front of him and then exclaimed in surprise.
"You want me to make a set of molds?"
"Yes. Please, uncle!"
Hu Ke'er looked at the old blacksmith with shining eyes.
"It's no problem for me to make this. Anyway, you've already dealt with the people from the Shu Sect outside. But before I start making it, I want to know what this is for?"
"This is a mold for bullets. The bullets made with this mold can be used in a gun."
"Used in a gun? How can a long spear hold the bullets you mentioned?"
"The gun I'm talking about is not a long spear. It's this kind of gun!"
As Hu Ke'er said this, she took out the flintlock pistol from her waist and placed it in front of the old blacksmith.
"This... I seem to have one that's quite similar."
As the old blacksmith said this, he squatted down and rummaged around in the blacksmith's workbench.
"What? It's impossible. Guns should only be used by people from our place..."
"Smack!"
Before Hu Ke'er could finish her sentence, the old blacksmith slapped an old - bronze revolver in front of Hu Ke'er.
"Wow, this is a Colt!"
Seeing the Colt pistol in front of her, Hu Ke'er was shocked and quickly asked with concern.
"Uncle Blacksmith, where did you get this gun?"
"Decades ago, a friend of mine left it here with me. He said that if someone recognized it, I should give the gun to that person!"
"Huh?!"
Hearing the blacksmith's words, Hu Ke'er was also surprised.
It seemed that she wasn't the only one who had traveled from Earth to this world. Just from this Colt pistol, Hu Ke'er could tell that there must be someone else who had traveled from Earth.
