Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 132: Either don’t play, or play big
Luo Fei's breathing became a little heavier.
Tang Zheng made things clear. Since it was a bet, there must be stakes. Even if he felt that Tang Zheng had no need for such good materials, he could not come up with any reason to refuse.
However, the Fubi Broken Stone did put him in a difficult position. He thought for a long time and said, "I can't give you the Fubi Broken Stone, but I can give you one or two Jidu Broken Stones..."
Tang Zheng listened to what he meant. It seemed that the rarity of the broken stars left behind by the shattered stars also varied.
Among the billions of stars in the sky, there are only a few hundred whose star power can be borrowed by humans, and each one is extremely precious.
What's more, such a precious star was directly shattered, which shows how rare the broken star stone is.
However, depending on the difficulty of finding and the uses of different Broken Star Stones, there are also differences in rarity. Obviously, the Fubi Broken Star Stone is much more precious than the Jidu Broken Star Stone!
Unfortunately, the other broken Chen stones that Tang Zheng asked for were of no use at all.
He shook his head: "Then there is no way to continue the discussion. I don't need the Jidu Broken Stone."
"With your entry-level casting skills now, it's good enough for you to have a Broken Chen Stone. Why are you still picky?" Luo Fei was angry.
"It's not that I'm picky..." Tang Zheng really couldn't get angry anymore, so he said with a smile, "You have a brain problem. I'll give you a very precious medicine for beriberi, okay?"
"..." Luo Fei opened his mouth for a long time, "You are the one with a problem in your brain! No, you have athlete's foot!"
Tang Xiaotang and the others, who were already extremely annoyed by Luo Fei's constant contempt, were made to laugh again by Tang Zheng.
However, Tang Zheng's words were also reasonable.
He needs the Broken Chen Stone as an assistant. What's the point of Luo Fei betting with him on the Broken Chen Stone?
Luo Fei could see that Tang Zheng really needed this thing, so he looked more serious: " I have the Fu Bi Broken Star Stone! But I've seen the dagger that you and Mo Feng bet on. You don't value the materials at all. So many precious materials were used on a worthless dagger. The casting and fire skills are a mess, and there's not even an engraving array. Even if I don't bet with you, I won't allow materials like the Fu Bi Broken Star Stone to fall into the hands of someone like you!"
Although Luo Fei was very angry with Tang Zheng, his basic craftsmanship still allowed him to distinguish the key points!
Personal sentiment is one thing.
However, no matter how unhappy he was with Tang Zheng, he would never bet on precious materials so easily!
As long as he is a member of Bailianfang, he will never put his emotions above the matter of casting!
Tang Zheng spread his hands and said, "I can't tell you what I'm going to cast. My drawings have been classified as top secret by Master Lu Huang. So, whether you want to gamble or not is up to you."
"Top secret? Orange seal?" Luo Fei's mouth opened uncontrollably. "How is that possible?"
"You can ask Lu Huang for confirmation yourself." Tang Zheng continued to spread his hands. "Anyway, you are the one who is looking for trouble. You can think about it slowly..."
Tang Zheng was actually very anxious, but from what Luo Fei saw, he didn't seem anxious at all.
The Fu Bi Shattered Stone can be regarded as the most crucial and final material for Tang Zheng's fan dagger. He wants to confirm the bet with Luo Fei and win it more than anyone else.
However, he also knew that sometimes, one cannot be impatient.
Luo Fei was very cautious about the materials, and Tang Zheng couldn't hurry no matter how anxious he was.
"In that case, I'll come back tomorrow!" Luo Fei still didn't give in. "I'll go to Bailianfang first to take a look at the design that Uncle Lu Huang can stamp with an orange seal..."
"Slow down..." Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled.
If Luo Fei wants to see it, will Lu Huang give it to him?
If anyone can see it, then why put the stamp on it!
After sending Luo Fei away, Tang Xiaotang quickly brought a plate of food to Tang Zheng: "Eat quickly! Only when you are full can you have the energy to be arrogant!"
Tang Zheng was speechless for a moment...
Tang Xiaotang and the others have really wild imaginations!
Could it be that Tang Xiaotang and the others thought that by feeding him until he was as fat as Luo Fei, he would be as arrogant as Luo Fei?
"Master... he's gone. Do you still want to gamble?" asked another disciple from Tangjiabao.
"Well, he will be back tomorrow. Let's bet...we will definitely bet!" Tang Zheng didn't want Luo Fei to give in halfway, otherwise his assistant, Suichen Stone, would have to breathe out only at the sky.
The young men from Tang Family Castle looked at each other.
A four-year-old boy raised his head and whispered, "Master... Master will win, right? He will definitely win, right?"
Just ask questions, the little boy almost cried.
Tang Zheng touched his head and looked at the other people in Tangjiabao.
The anger of having your beloved looked down upon, the reluctance to accept, the worry of facing a strong enemy...
Tang Zheng lowered his head and smiled: "That's right! I will win!"
"That's great!" After getting Tang Zheng's promise, the children of Tangjiabao almost jumped up, and the silent cafeteria was in an uproar again.
"No matter whether it's Bailianfang or Jubao Pavilion, or even if the Purple Gold Emperor is resurrected, what does it matter? As long as our Master says he will win, he will definitely win!"
Tang Zheng shoveled the rice on his plate and listened to their chatter with a smile.
He won't win...
But, we must win!
Whether it was for the sake of obtaining the Fu Bi Shattered Stone, for the protection given to him by Tang Xiaotang and the others, or for the pride of being a senior professional in his previous life, he had to win the bet with Luo Fei.
But how easy is it to defeat Luo Fei?
Don't be fooled by his outspokenness. He will directly criticize someone he thinks is not good enough without any politeness. But in fact, Tang Zheng can see from Lu Huang what kind of existence the thirteen surnames that founded Bailianfang are!
They are a group of people who truly devote their lives and everything they have to casting.
Although Luo Fei was the same age as him, he couldn't catch up with him in terms of material selection, processing, and fusion, understanding of casting technology, and research on engraving arrays and array patterns...
Because that is not just something that Luo Fei possesses, it is the soul of forging passed down from generation to generation in Bailianfang!
"I'm sure I'll gamble, and I'm sure I'll win." After Tang Zheng finished his meal, he wiped his mouth and said, "The question is, how do I gamble, and how do I win?"
Tang Xiaotang and the others are actually worried about the same problem.
Tang Zheng stood up after finishing his meal, and seeing that Tang Xiaotang and Tang Zixie had not left yet, he asked, "What are you doing?"
"We...we want to ask, Master, what are your plans for the bet with Luo Fei?" Tang Xiaotang asked in a low voice.
Although they all had an inexplicable confidence in the Master, the object of the bet with the Master was, after all, the leading foundry force in the Xingyao Continent, the second son of the Luo family of Bailianfang Star Hunter. It would not be an exaggeration to even say that Luo Fei was a potential master who would become famous throughout the entire Xingyao Continent in the future.
The opponent is too powerful!
"Oh..." Tang Zheng smiled frivolously, "Although the enemy is very powerful, our army is more cunning!"
Tang Zheng always decides the outcome first before doing anything, be it time traveling, killing Lan Shaoze, or making a bet with Bailianfang.
And this time, the result of his decision can be summed up in one word: win!
Then, he needs to work backwards from the result he has decided on to the process of achieving that result!
"My basic fate palace is a perfect balance between the Sun and the Moon. The Sun is assisted , and the Moon is blessed by the stars. This is a basic condition that no other caster in the world can achieve." Tang Zheng stretched out a finger.
"Yes!" Tang Xiaotang and the others nodded heavily.
"I still have money!" Tang Zheng stretched out his second finger.
"Pfft..." Tang Xiaotang was amused by him, "Luo Fei has already said that he is not afraid of you using money to pile up!"
"There is one more crucial thing." Tang Zheng held up his third finger. "He just said that the rules of this bet are determined by me!"
Tang Xiaotang and Tang Zixie looked at each other.
They suddenly felt that, although Tang Zheng had little chance of winning this bet, at least it seemed like someone was going to be unlucky?
Tang Zheng did not continue to talk to them about the bet, but pulled them over: "Hey, let me tell you a story first. In my hometown, there is a sport called football..."
…
Tang Zheng spent about a quarter of an hour telling a story about "Captain Tsubasa".
Tang Xiaotang and the others were completely confused.
"Well, so, in the end, Hyuga Kojiro who was practicing in the waves was still defeated by Ozora Tsubasa, and that... Devil Team you inserted was also defeated by Shaolin Soccer?"
"Why do I feel that anything related to water never ends well..."
"The most important thing is... what does this have to do with... casting?"
Tang Zheng told a completely irrelevant story, and Tang Xiaotang was completely confused.
Just now they were still discussing casting and how to defeat the powerful enemy from Bailianfang, but what did Tang Zheng mean by jumping directly to change the subject?
Tang Zheng nodded: "Actually, what I mean is that practicing underwater is exciting and cool. I plan to try it starting tomorrow... Xiaotang, can you help me find a nearby lake or river..."
“Hey, hey, hey…” Tang Xiaotang and Tang Zixie were about to collapse. “Is this the time to cultivate star power or practice martial arts? The key point! The key point!”
It was Tang Zheng himself who just said that Luo Fei would definitely come back tomorrow, so their bet could definitely stand.
What a pity, how did he suddenly jump to...some exciting and cool underwater training?
He wouldn't be planning to get himself to Samsung in one go, kidnap Luo Fei, and then ask Bailianfang for that Fu Bi Shattered Chen Stone as a ransom, right?
Tang Xiaotang and Tang Zixie's imaginations are getting bigger and bigger.
However, Tang Zheng completely ignored Tang Xiaotang and Tang Zixie's shouting, and left the cafeteria alone with a smile...
