Chapter 145 I seem... quite rich?
Cheng Yan still held the boy's shoulders, his lips tightly pursed, and his eyes became sad as he looked at the precious sword stuck next to the golden long sword.
What should I do... Tai Guang lost his grip. This is the last stage of the competition and I seem to have... messed up.
"Archie!"
When the boy named Aqi heard the shouting, tears immediately welled up in his eyes.
"Niwa, I'm sorry, I seem to have messed up again."
The host on the stage witnessed the whole process and spoke.
"Ah! It seems that the result has been determined. Contestant Aki from Tadashi Sand failed to complete the last evaluation because his precious sword 'Taikou' fell out of his hand! Then I declare that the winner of this sword forging competition is - Contestant Tianmu from Narukami Island!"
The result was decided, and the heavy stone in his heart fell away. Archie covered his chest with his hands, tears falling from his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hold it well enough."
[Drip - Target's Heartbreak +50, current Heartbreak 80, due to host interference, target's Heartbreak is too high, points -100, current points 968]
Cheng Yan was stunned by this sudden news.
"Heartbreak? What is that?"
[This strategy mission does not require the development of a relationship. The host only needs to gain enough trust from him and reduce the heartbreak to 0 to complete the mission.]
"Then since he's so heartbroken right now, isn't my mission going to fail?"
[Yes, so please take action as soon as possible]
Cheng Yan was angry at the system for not telling him these things in advance, but the current situation was indeed caused by him, although he had no prior knowledge of it.
"Wait! Mr. Referee! I have a question."
Cheng Yan raised his hand and shouted loudly to attract the referee's attention.
"This player was unable to complete the race due to interference. It is unfair to judge the result like this!"
The referee held all the previously recorded evaluation results in his hand and read them carefully before speaking.
"Well... the last test of sword suitability is to test the sword's ability to resist unexpected events during use. Tai Guang not only slipped out of his hand, but also exhibited uncontrollable behavior. This will not produce good results in any way."
While listening to the referee's statement, Cheng Yan saw the new target beside him.
The Strange One... a somewhat strange name.
The depression and dejection in the short-haired boy's eyes had not yet disappeared, but after hearing Cheng Yan's words of struggle, he showed a look of hope again.
Cheng Yan was stunned by her pure look as if she had never been to this world. What a... clean person.
Just like the water drops gathered in the center of a lotus leaf that is spotless, they feel a bit helpless like floating duckweed.
"What are you looking at! Are you doing this on purpose?"
Niwa couldn't bear the slightest bit of bad face towards the man who messed up the game and made the curious person cry.
Cheng Yan came back to his senses and was about to argue with the referee again, but he saw the eloquent referee clapped his hands.
"Oh, please don't make it difficult for me. The result of this competition is not decided by me alone. The judges' decision has come out. It is indeed the Tianmu Sword Forging Field that won."
Then he turned his head to look at Niwa and the strange one, "Don't be sad, the two of you, the Taling Sword Forging Field is flourishing, I believe you will win the next competition!"
Niwa's face changed, "Please give me a chance, we will go to the Taliang Sword Forging Field..."
"Good! It's time to give out the prizes! The prize for this sword forging competition is - the Shogunate's exclusive sword forging certification! Let's congratulate Tianmu!"
His words of striving were interrupted, and Niwa pursed his lips completely. Looking at the burly man opposite him respectfully accepting the token symbolizing the special gift from the shogunate, his anxiety became even greater.
Niwa closed his eyes tightly and patted the shoulder of the person beside him who had been silent for a long time.
"Aqi, it's okay. In fact, we didn't have much chance in the first place. Maybe... the Ta'er Sword Forge will really be closed one day."
The moisture in the curious person's eyes had not disappeared, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but he was choking with sobs and no sound came out.
Cheng Yan was standing aside and watching this scene, his guilty conscience was clearly visible on his face.
"Um, is this exclusive supply from the shogunate important to you?"
I just arrived and I ruined someone's business? Ah, what a sin.
Niwa glanced at him and didn't want to say too much to him, but spoke after seeing Zhufeng clearly.
"The Tadashi Sand Sword Forge has been unable to continue production for a long time because of a mistake in a batch of raw materials. However, the price of the new batch of raw materials has been raised. With our current funds, we can't support it for a few days. If we don't get the opportunity to get exclusive supply from the shogunate, the sword forge will be divided up even with the support of the castle tower."
Cheng Yan's face straightened and he extracted the key information.
"So, you're short of money... No, you're short of Mora, right?"
Niwa lowered his head tiredly, and was about to leave with the curious person, with no intention of talking to Cheng Yan anymore.
"So what? That's a huge sum of money. It's impossible to get it together in a short time."
"Archie, let's go."
The curious one was holding the precious sword "Tai Guang" that had been chasing Zhuo Feng just now, and before leaving he looked at Cheng Yan with a look of resentment and anger.
"Tai Guang and you are not relatives."
Cheng Yan was stunned. "You are too slow to respond to me. Besides, this knife and I are not relatives. I mean you and I are relatives."
"Neither do I."
The response was completely lackluster, but Cheng Yan was actually somewhat attracted to him.
"Well, no matter how much money you have, we should try. Aren't you guys also trying to find a solution? Even if the Mora I take out is not enough, the result won't be worse, right?"
As Cheng Yan spoke, he took out his bracelet and took out all the paper bills.
"Take a look at these. How much of these are still missing? This matter is related to me as well. I want to try my best to help you."
Niwa turned around and saw the thick stack, his pupils shrank, and he leaned closer to look at the denomination.
After seeing the number clearly, he grabbed the curious person's arm without hesitation.
"Archie, let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out, leaving only the echo of one sentence.
"I'm telling you this out of kindness. If you forge Mora deposit slips without permission, you'll be arrested and punished! Run now!"
