Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Heavy Sword as a Gift

Nian Shutong didn’t say the closing remarks for Little River Live and just ended the stream.

This left many netizens a bit unaccustomed, even those with a touch of OCD felt somewhat driven crazy.

Do they have to wait for the next live stream? Or could they just say it to themselves and count that as the end?

Nian Shutong was unaware of the netizens’ dilemma. She had ended the live stream perfectly, logged off, and drank.

She had prepared dishes for drinking, and not drinking would be a disservice to these dishes.

Moreover, these were some basic drinks, almost like drinking water to her; they wouldn’t make her drunk.

She pulled Fu Yunhe and sat him down with her.

Nian Shutong picked up the wine jug and filled Fu Yunhe’s cup, saying as she poured, "The first time I wanted to drink with you, you were not well enough."

"I was just physically weak, not necessarily weak in other aspects."

Nian Shutong put down the wine jug and looked meaningfully toward Fu Yunhe’s indescribable part, her voice rising, "Not necessarily weak?"

"Hmm!"

Fu Yunhe spoke quite calmly, though the fingers holding the wine cup turned somewhat white, highlighting his unease.

"Oh..."

Nian Shutong just uttered a meaningful "Oh," not saying anything more. She held her wine cup in one hand, leaned back in the chair, and looked up at the starry sky.

Fu Yunhe also lifted his own cup in Nian Shutong’s direction and they clinked glasses.

"To us."

"To us."

Both tilted their heads back and drained their cups.

After drinking for more than an hour, the two then parted ways.

Nian Shutong, having drunk, was in a particularly good mood. She didn’t go to cultivate but instead found a wasteland, ready to engage in artifact refining.

Firstly, she planned to forge some basic weapons, such as knives, guns, swords, and spears. It wasn’t right to expect her residents to fend off enemies with just shovels and hoes each time.

This batch was easy to make, using materials Nian Shutong had collected at Rubble; they just needed to be a bit harder than ordinary weapons, and she casually made a few hundred.

After forging these few hundred, Nian Shutong sat down to regain her composure, preparing to forge the next weapon.

The second weapon she refined was a heavy sword for Lin Mu.

Nian Shutong used the body of the ugly bird from Tata Jupiter, adding some ores scavenged from Rubble.

Spiritual energy overflowed, flames burst forth.

Batches of materials melted and combined.

Nian Shutong’s actions were nonstop, the weight of the heavy sword had to be right, even heavier than the one Lin Mu used to wield.

As the heavy sword gradually took shape, Nian Shutong finally used the spiritual flame to temper it.

"Done!"

"Boom——"

"Ting——"

The heavy sword plummeted from the sky, hitting the ground and creating a deep pit; it seemed to strike something, issuing a crisp tinkling sound.

"What is this? So hard?"

Nian Shutong stepped forward. Her forged heavy sword should be able to shatter anything with one strike.

Yet, it only made a crisp sound, with no sound of shattering.

Nian Shutong walked up to the pit; the hole made by the sword was over three meters deep, a testament to the quality of the heavy sword.

Using spiritual power as a rope, she dove into the bottom of the pit, pulling up the heavy sword first, then using the light from the spiritual power, she looked to the bottom of the hole.

"Heh heh... So it’s you."

Familiar in size and color.

The zodiac ox appeared.

Nian Shutong pulled up the ox sculpture, holding it in her hands, talking to herself.

"I was still wondering when the next one would appear."

After unlocking the monkey, whenever she went out, she always kept an eye on her surroundings, but she hadn’t found it until now.

"I’m starting to believe you all are following me, showing up wherever I appear."

Regardless, another statue was obtained.

Nian Shutong filled the cave entrance, took the weapon he had crafted along with the bull statue, and returned to the small wooden house.

After returning, it was the morning of the next day.

Nian Shutong found Lin Mu practicing her boxing in a corner and did not disturb her, waiting until she finished.

When Lin Mu finished her punches, she walked over to Nian Shutong and asked, "Is something up?"

"Nothing, just here to give a gift."

Nian Shutong casually threw the Heavy Sword, which landed with a clang; the blade pierced into the ground, leaving only the hilt visible.

Lin Mu looked at the Heavy Sword with just the hilt showing and pointed at herself, "For me?"

"Yeah! Who else would use this thing?"

"No one."

Lin Mu shook her head, stretched out her hand, and pulled out the Heavy Sword. The different texture made her feel slightly uncomfortable at first, but it fit her even more as she got used to it.

Waving it casually a couple of times, it felt even more comfortable in her hand.

Her previous sword was somewhat rolled at the edges and had become lighter, which was not very suitable for her.

"Thanks."

Lin Mu was very pleased and did not decline, but as Nian Shutong turned to leave, she said, "Besides marrying you, I can do anything."

"Huh?"

Nian Shutong had already walked a few steps away but turned around, "Marry me?"

"Why do you say that? Do I look like I’m here to snatch a bride?"

Lin Mu shook her head.

"If you were to snatch me away, I couldn’t resist anyway, it’s just a saying."

Nian Shutong laughed and shook his head, not really caring, and waved his hand at Lin Mu before turning away,

"Don’t worry, I like things that are exceptionally good-looking."

After giving the gift, Nian Shutong handed over a few hundred weapons to Wang Fu to distribute among everyone.

Then she returned to the small wooden house, ready to search for some information.

But as soon as she entered the house, she saw a bouquet of wildflowers on the table.

"Quite early."

The flowers were picked by Fu Yunhe.

She didn’t know where he found these flowers, but he came every day to replace them with a fresh bundle.

Nian Shutong was mildly fond of the flowers, but what truly pleased her was the thought and persistence behind them.

She decided to see how long he could keep it up.

Sitting down, Nian Shutong started using the Star Network to search for information about contribution points.

The functioning of Blue Star was already very normal; she just needed to buy seeds or small animals when there were new crops or animals, nothing else required her busy involvement.

So, the next step was set in motion.

Establishing a Transfer Station had always been on Nian Shutong’s mind, and with the money secured, the next step was the contribution points.

Nian Shutong knew two ways to earn contribution points, one was by participating in various Star Network events and earning rewards.

The other was by killing Insect Beasts.

She planned to first check on the Star Network if there were any methods to obtain contribution points, and if not, she was ready to venture to the Insect Race border after First Year to earn contribution points.

Currently, establishing a Transfer Station required at least a million contribution points, but that was just the minimum.

Nian Shutong wanted to be absolutely sure, the more contribution points, the better.

While browsing the Star Network, Nian Shutong noticed that many websites had started to decorate in red and green, making it very festive.

After searching for a while, she finally found the information she needed.

Turns out, the best time to earn contribution points each year was the ten days before the First Year.

Nian Shutong checked the time; there were eight days left, and it had already started.

"Good, there’s still time."
