Chapter 21

Welco me Hearing a voice, a man walked out from the backroom. He was startled to see a young boy. Little boy, hurry and leave. This isnt a place you should be loitering at, he said immediately.

Do you need any help here?The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

What do you mean? the man asked, utterly confused.

Im here to work! Chui Yim patted his chest and said.

Kiu Chi Gong stood at the counter, frowning at Chui Yim. Kiddo, how old are you even? Do you know what this place is?

I might be shorthanded, but not so much that I need a child to help me, he said, scanning Chui Yim. But just as he was observing Chui Yim, Chui Yim was observing him back too.

He looks pretty young, about twenty something years old. Its hard to believe that the owner is so young. Hmm, his muscles arent even, especially his shoulder. It makes him look like a beast when he raises his shoulders. Theres black coloured cloth similar to the ones that Chor Shing Chit uses on his right hand. So hes a glipher too.

Im not here to work, Chui Yim said, shaking his head and looking at the man seriously. Im here to find someone to work for me.

Kiu Chi Gong looked at him, his mouth slightly open. Is this kiddo crazy? Is there something wrong with his brain? But Chui Yim ignored him and walked to the sword that looked like an iron rod.

Chui Yim might not know anything about the water or grass style, but he was an expert at the fire forging style in a broad sense. This sword only makes use of a single ingredient, the fallen star's stone. Its a type of rock that comes with a gliph in it, but not one of good quality. Other than its weight, there are no other pros about the rock. If Im right, you used at least a hundred and twenty kilograms of fallen stars stone on this weapon.

You melted all the rocks with high heat before forging it into a sword with the essence of the rock. You did well here, but not for the rest of the processes.

How bad are you at forging that you made the sword into a rod? And you tattooed the Strength gliph in the weapon, right? A Strength gliph is supposed to help a Glipher increase their strength, but it doesn't make sense to tattoo it on a swords hilt handle. Let me guess, the gliph you wanted to use originally wasnt this, but it turned out like an iron rod unexpectedly. Thus you changed your mind and tattooed the Strength gliph on it instead.

So, that was how a grade two-weapon became a grade one.

Kiu Chi Gong stared at Chui Yim, thunderstruck. Who are you exactly?

Someone who came to save you from the abyss of worldly sufferings, Chui Yim said, happy with how Kiu Chi Gong was staring at him. Cmon, call me master.

Chui Yim left Kiu Chi Gongs shop and went back to the academy. He didnt go to the weapon street for fun, but with the goal of finding a source of income.

I need a way to earn money because Chui Tin that bastard stopped giving me money! Money not only allows me to research more about forging, but more importantly, because of Lam Ming.

Hes a great cook, but sadly, a poor kid like me cant exactly get good ingredients.

After the day that Chui Yim fainted, Lam Ming admitted that the pig heart he used in Chui Yims porridge had gone slightly bad. Chui Yim barely managed to hold back the urge to strangle Lam Ming when he heard that.

So I need money to get quality ingredients.

Lam Ming said that if we are rich enough to get gliphic beasts or gliphic plants, he could even try to make us g-food thats excellent for developing our bodies. Its always good to have some money too. Kiu Chi Gong is a good source, but his temper I dont have any idea for now.

Chui Yim heaved a sigh and went back to his dorm. As soon as he opened the door, he was welcomed by a tantalising aroma that made him drool.

Lam Ming was making a fire secretly. Hurry and shut the door. Ill be scolded if the warden finds out that Im cooking again, he whispered as soon as he saw Chui Yim.

What are you making? Chui Yim shut the door and squatted beside him.

I went to the market today and picked up some unwanted vegetables Be at ease, they arent spoiled. Theyre just not that fresh. I made a pot of mixed soup with them and some minced meat.

Chui Yims eyes twitched. Forget about the ingredients. forget about where the ingredients came from He repeated to himself in his head.

But the soup was so aromatic. He pinched his nose and tried it.

Hmm? Chui Yim's eyes widened. Its so good! He started gulping down the soup.

Chui Yim had a full meal together with Lam Ming. This meal made him even more determined to earn money.

He can make even rotten vegetables taste so good, so what if it was fresh
