Chapter 26 (2/2)

He immediately slowed down, and was hesitating if he should enter.

At that moment, Xiong Gaoan happened to see Ou Yangming standing there when he looked up, so he quickly put his work aside to approach him with a smile. Even from a distance away, he was already cupping his hands together to greet Ou Yangming in a friendly manner, “Oh, isn’t that Brother Ouyang? Quick, quick, come in!”

Ou Yangming smiled embarra.s.sedly. Though he knew why Xiong Gaoan switched from arrogance to humility, he was reluctant to deal with him. Nevertheless, since Xiong Gaoan was willing to humble himself, he should not leave in displeasure, because one should never slap a smiling face.

“Officer Xiong,” Ou Yangming replied helplessly, “you’re wrong.”

“Huh? What?” Xiong Gaoan was puzzled.

Ou Yangming answered, “My surname is Ou, not Ouyang.”

“I see. Brother Ou, I was wrong.” Xiong Gaoan slapped his forehead after being stunned for a while, but he thought to himself, ‘Since your surname is Ou, why is it followed by Yang? Isn’t that just a trap…’

Although he knew that Old Craftsman’s helper was called Ou Yangming, he did not take the time to understand him better since he was just a helper. If Ou Yangming had not pointed out the mistake, he would never know.

“Brother Ou, you’re here to…” Xiong Gaoan asked when he looked at Ou Yangming’s bundle.

Ou Yangming revealed his visitation purpose without keeping Xiong Gaoan in suspense. “I’m here to deliver some armaments, so please help me store them.”

“Okay, okay.” Xiong Gaoan was dumbfounded and confused. ‘He was just given a smithing workshop two days ago, and only retrieved the materials yesterday, so why does he have something to hand in already? Did he smith armaments of a better grade? Hmm, if these armaments are of Good Grade, they’re qualified to be stored.’

At the outer court of the equipment depot, someone was there to collect the armaments.

Even though Ou Yangming had been there before to hand in armaments, it had been on Old Craftsman’s behalf. This time, he represented himself, hence people at the equipment depot stole a glance at him from time to time to see what he was going to store in the depot.

Five armaments were revealed when he opened his bundle.

Xiong Gaoan would not attend to the matter personally if anyone else brought armaments to the depot, but since it was Ou Yangming whom Kang Weibo valued, he dared not neglect him.

He lowered himself to retrieve one of the military sabers, then flicked it with his fingers, causing a loud and clear buzz to be heard.

“Nice, the saber is of Good Grade indeed, and it’s at the peak of Good Grade,” Xiong Gaoan exclaimed as he looked at Ou Yangming. “Brother Ou, your skills are truly unordinary.”

While the munition factories produced a substantial amount of military sabers, their claims to perfect the sabers were empty talks.

Soldiers in the military usually used Common Grade military sabers, and unless one had a way, it was difficult to obtain a Good Grade military saber.

“Officer Xiong, look at them closely.” Ou Yangming shook his head, and was slightly dissatisfied. “If they’re just Good Grade military sabers, will I hand them in?”

“Oh.” Xiong Gaoan was startled, and his heart skipped a beat when an unbelievable thought crossed his mind.

‘Are these five armaments…’

Nonetheless, he dared not think about it further, because it was definitely impossible, but…

After taking a deep breath, Xiong Gaoan cast his thoughts aside, then channeled a hint of essential Qi into the military saber. He was instantly elated.

‘An Attribute Equipment, this is actually an Attribute Equipment!’

He could not be bothered about etiquette at the moment, and he picked up a greave after putting the military saber down carefully.

In a flash, he inspected the five pieces of equipment, and was so overjoyed that he felt dizzy.

Xiong Gaoan stammered when he looked up at Ou Yangming, “Ou, Brother Ou, you… No, what’s the meaning of this?”

Ou Yangming responded, “What do you mean what’s the meaning of this? I brought them here for storage!”

“Ah, storage, yes, they should be stored!” Xiong Gaoan came to a sudden realization, and he turned to yell at the other men, “B*stards, why are you still standing there? Can’t you see that Brother Ou… Master Ou is here? Quick, bring some good tea, the ones that Sir Kang values very much. You, ask for Sir Kang, and tell him that Master Ou’s here to store some equipment. Five, a total of five Attribute Equipment!”

The equipment depot was dead silent for a while as if the sound of a dropping needle could be heard.

Subsequently, everyone started working.

Upon seeing the chaotic scene, Ou Yangming knew even better how much thought Old Craftsman had put into this.
