Chapter 252: The Merging

The two points increased in the Dwarf’s loyalty value caused Li Chunhua to misunderstand that the Dwarf liked to be called Uncle.

A few minutes later, Li Chunhua built another Basic Hut Residence first beside the men’s hut. Everyone was either inside the training field, tailoring workshop and the residence and they didn’t notice their group.

With the temporary dorm settled, Li Chunhua constructed the Blacksmith Workshop besides the Tailor Shop.

[Do you wish to consume 80 units of wood, 80 units of stone, 5 silver coins to build the Basic Blacksmith Workshop?]

A small wooden shop occupying 40 square feet of the land appeared after the mandatory fog. It had the same exterior and lobby design with the neighboring tailoring shop.

The group entered inside to see and saw the puppets, the shelves, the desks and the door leading to the employees’ station.

Dalloram examined the layout and didn’t react much until he opened the smelting room with complete tools.

There was a hearth with its bellows, water through, shovels, tongs, rake, poker and a large water barrel for damping down the fire and cooling objects on his right. It was connected to a chimney.

Apart from that, Dalloram also saw an anvil, sledge, swage, cutters, chisel and a hammer to refine and reshape the weapons and other gears.

His satisfaction further increased when he saw they were not without grade. Each of the tools was of bronze-quality.

"How was it, Uncle?" Li Chunhua didn’t know much about blacksmithing so she couldn’t judge if the room was good enough.

"It’s good." Dalloram was excited as a child and decided to make the workshop his home.

Li Chunhua couldn’t persuade him to reconsider and only gave him woods for the hearth, match, the rest of the star steel, blankets, snacks and water.

Dalloram pretty much ignored all what she gave except the ores. His eyes shone and asked her what she wanted him to forge first. "A sword? An armor? Or a dagger?"

However, Li Chunhua’s answer was completely out of his guess. "Oh, I know. Can you make a kitchen knife Uncle?" She wanted to gift it to Chef Long. He already done so many things and cook so many kilograms of food, and gave her so many copper coins.

Long Haoran who was silently following her and looking through the tools because he was interested with forging was stunned by her request and immediately turned around. Is it for him? He had a faint expectation as his heart skipped a beat.

Dalloram was speechless. "Master, this is a star steel. A gold-grade material. It’s very suitable for making weapons." A kitchen knife would be such a waste. It’s better to use something with lesser grade for it.

"Uncle, do you mean it can’t be made to a kitchen knife?" Li Chunhua responded with a slight frown. It there some sort of restrictions?

"What I meant to say was. If you want a kitchen knife, we can use metal ingots or other lower-quality metals and ores. It would be such a waste." Dalloram explained.

The dwarf made sense. Long Haoran turned around and didn’t want to hear Xiao Hua’s reply. He touched the tools to keep himself distracted but he failed to because his ears were still waiting for the girl’s next words.

"Then its durability would become less. Chef Long is worthy of a star steel kitchen knife. If there’s no problem anymore then it’s settled."

Suddenly, the clanging sound of something dropping on the stone floor echoed in their ears.

Li Chunhua saw a tong beside the feet of Chef Long.

She walked towards him and saw his face was slightly red.

"Chef Long, are you okay?"

Xiao Hua’s words caused Long Haoran to awakened from his stupor and picked up the tong and placed it back on the shelves before covering half of his face. "I’m fine." Although he said so, his mind was still replaying her words earlier- ’Chef Long is worthy.’

The blush on his ears darkened in shade.

Dalloram sighed and submitted to his Master’s stubborn request. "Fine. How about the length and the width of the knife?"

"Oh, Chef Long, Uncle is asking about you about your ideal knife." Li Chunhua spoke.

"Ohhh..." Long Haoran retrieved his hand and answered with a little stutter.

Dalloram memorized it. "I got it. I got it."

Li Chunhua sighed in relief. With the kitchen knife, Chef Long can even cook better.

The three went out the Blacksmith Workshop and returned to Main Residence.

Now there’s only the little girl left.

Her basic stats were all in single digits.

With stats like that any landowner would certainly doubt the girl’s S-level potential.

But Li Chunhua was not particularly concern.

Starting grades and initial stats aren’t necessarily the most important.

Even a native would have a high star rating but if he/she doesn’t necessarily exert more efforts to further improve, then their development will stuck.

Related to that case, there are certain instances that a low-star rating individual with enough training and opportunities can upgrade their stars.

In the novel, there are those with a similar situation. Some defied the odds and became more powerful than those with greater starting advantage.

But what got her impress the most was the girl the protagonist once encountered. She was fleeing from a group of monsters after being discarded and used as bait by her landowner.

She should be summoned at this point but the author didn’t particularly mention the number of the newbiemountain. Li Chunhua only knew she didn’t have a name and her hair was silver, red ruby eyes...

Wait...

Li Chunhua’s head snapped and gazed down at the girl holding her.

The girl sensed her gaze and looked up sending chill on Li Chunhua’s spine.

Don’t tell me I just summoned the future Bloody Carnage Reaper?

Li Chunhua’s body ran cold. That girl just destroyed almost half of Xun Minsheng’s Mercenary Team and army in a few encounters.

The Protagonist got the chance to acquire a spell book and gave it to the girl and she was determine to avenge and studied it hard and eventually was put under the wing’s of Li Jingnan, serving as a shadow guard.

"Xiao Hua..."

"Xiao Hua..."

Long Haoran called a few more times and when she didn’t answer, his eyes travelled on her cheeks and before he knew it, his finger moved and gave it a gentle poke.

Still so soft...

His finger became numb.

Li Chunhua regained her senses. What is she thinking of? This girl is still far from that frightening Reaper. If she educate her into a good citizen and instill good morals and conducts like Brother Siri’s historical teachings, it would go all well.

Unfortunately, Li Chunhua didn’t calculate one factor- the violent Elga and it was too late for her to notice then.

The three entered the residence. Li Chunhua helped the girl cleaned herself and gave her her only set of track suit left. Afterwards, Long Haoran used the picture book to give the girl a meal.

The Girl after receiving a warm welcome smiled. "Thanks for the meal."

At 10: 00 a.m, the most-awaited merging occurred and a map appeared on everyone’s screen.

[Area no. 3]

Li Chunhua and Long Haoran looked at the map and saw a lot of new places.
