I like crossing the most

Chapter 187 Best Sixth Man, Exclusive Blacksmith
Aqua is a goddess with the power of a god.But it doesn't mean that Aqua is omnipotent. Even Aqua, the goddess of water, can't do things.

That is to recast mecha parts.

She is very good at modeling, performance debugging, and body design, but she is powerless to recast the mecha to change the original shape.

But I have to say, Akuya is very smart.Since she can't do it herself, then find someone who can.Therefore, Akuya found a blacksmith with superb skills in Novice Village.

"Yes, it's me!"

"Bill..."

Kobayashi raised his head slightly.

In front of him was a one-eyed, bald man with a height of 2 meters, bronze skin, and fleshy tendons all over his body. He was raising his thumb to face him, and at the same time showing a hearty smile and white teeth. The corners of Xiao Lin's mouth twitched unconsciously.

There is a kind of beauty that gay guys want to open my pants chain.

He is the profiteer blacksmith who has not appeared in more than 100 chapters.Oh, I was wrong.He also appeared in the equipment replacement before, but he was ignored lightly.After all, he is not a beautiful girl, so there is no need to waste pen and ink.

"Xiao Lin, what kind of eyes do you have? I always feel that you are thinking about something bad."

"You think too much."

This guy hadn't seen him for a long time, and he made things difficult for him as soon as he came out, and he was a little angry.

He walked quickly to the chair above the lobby, sat down, crossed his legs, propped his head and squinted.

He coughed lightly, and asked, "Tell me, why does Akuya owe you money?"

"...Eh? Ask?" Bill was dumbfounded. He scratched the smooth top of his head and looked at Akuya who was not confident, and asked, "If I remember correctly, you owe me money, right?"

"Yes, yes. Ahahaha...haha..."

Aqua didn't dare to speak at all.

Xiao Lin leaned on the chair, deliberately elongated the voice and said, "Don't you know that the one who owes money now is the uncle? Hey, hurry up and serve tea to the uncle."

"...I've never heard of it." Bill clenched his fists, and there were inconspicuous veins on his forehead.

This shows that he is not in a good mood.

After all, whoever is the party who owes the debt will not be in a good mood if he comes to apply eye drops to himself like a grandfather.

Akuya was also taken aback by Kobayashi's arrogance.

She hurriedly came up to Xiao Lin and whispered in Xiao Lin's ear, "Hey, Xiao Lin. I really asked him to owe the money. Is it really okay to be so arrogant? Didn't we earn money during this time?" , just treat it as my fault, and pay him back the debt.”

This guy has changed his gender, so he's not bad at it?

Kobayashi glanced at Akuya in surprise.

In the past, this stupid goddess was eager to pay off every debt she owed, but now she is so scared that she wants to pay off her debts on her own initiative?
However, Kobayashi still overestimated how shameless she was.

Akuya continued: "Look, he looks so angry, it's not easy to provoke. If he gets angry, the two of us will be beaten!"

It was immediately clear why she had to pay back the money, because she was afraid that the hunk with bronze skin and flesh would get angry.Kobayashi was sure that if it was that weak Miss Lich—Wiz, she would definitely renege on her debt without saying a word.

A shameless goddess who bullies the weak and fears the hardest!
Xiao Lin looked at her with disdainful eyes, and the disrespectful eyes made the goddess of water, who loves to save face, very anxious.

But no matter how she explained it, the label of bullying and fearing hard was still stuck on her.

"It's not that I didn't pay back the money." Xiao Lin explained: "If it was someone else, I would have paid back the money without any complaints, but Bill was an exception, because this uncle who was a profiteer made me miserable at the beginning."

That's right!

That was when he was a novice adventurer.

As we all know, the giant toad is the weakest around Axel Novice Village, and it is also the most suitable crusade mission for novice adventurers.

To succeed in the crusade, the key point is equipment.

After being reminded by Miss Luna, the receptionist of the guild, I learned that the giant toad hates iron the most, so as long as you wear iron armor, you can easily defeat it without stress.

When Xiaolin excitedly took half a month's salary and came to Bill's blacksmith shop to buy equipment, the profiteer uncle mercilessly emptied his wallet.

The most infuriating thing is!

It's fine if the equipment is useful, but this uncle profiteer sells him a tattered armor that looks like clad iron.

This caused him to rush towards the giant toad, and in one fell swoop he was tongue-bound and swallowed.

If Dust hadn't happened to pass by, he might have gone to see Eris at that time, becoming the most aggrieved traverser with cheats!

When he ran back angrily and confronted him, Bill taunted him by saying that it was your own lack of vision.

Yes, just like when he was learning from Eris.

That's why Kobayashi was angry.

"Hey, hey, please forgive me for the past half a year." Bill lost his temper when he heard Xiao Lin's words, and even explained aggrievedly: "Didn't I pay you a junior novice suit later? The price of a set of equipment can be several times higher than the money you got scammed."

"That can't change the psychological trauma you caused me at the beginning! Do you know how much psychological trauma a set of junk equipment will bring to me?" Xiao Lin's words were very lethal.

Bill scratched his head, with a distressed expression on his face, but he couldn't explain himself.

Because it is a fact.

As for Xiao Lin, as if he had seen through him, he squinted and mocked deliberately: "It's the same this time! You must think that Akuya is a fool who is easy to deceive, so you just sit on the ground and charge a high fee."

"Wait, wait! Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! This time it's not what you think, Kobayashi!"

Bill threw up his hands and hurriedly defended himself.

Xiao Lin raised his brows and said nothing, which meant he was asking him to explain himself.

Bill simply said: "It may be true that I did a little too much in the previous things, but this time I assure you, I absolutely did not charge high fees. Rather, these are material fees, and I haven't charged manual fees. Woolen cloth."

Um?Have you changed your gender too?

Kobayashi looked at him in surprise.

One must know that nature is hard to change, and what Bill likes most is to deceive novice adventurers or idiots like Akuya, saying that it is impossible for him not to take the opportunity to charge a high fee.

Bill saw Kobayashi's doubts.

"How should I put it..." He rubbed his hands, and said with some embarrassment: "Everyone has their own hobbies. I like to build equipment, and I also dream of building a set of huge equipment that no one can stop. At this time, Akuya The lady sincerely invited me to transform the mecha together, so I readily agreed.

His bronzed skin was abnormally reddish, and it seemed that he also felt that this reason made him shy and not convincing.

But Kobayashi believed it.

"That's it, that's it."

"...you believe it?"

"Ah, after all, there are a lot of weird people in this world, and it's normal to have weird hobbies, let alone your hobbies are normal."

He thought of Hui Hui.

The little loli who has been clamoring to become the strongest explosion magister in the team also likes large robots, doesn't she?

Looking at it this way, Bill's hobbies are quite normal, and they have a lot to do with his career.

Bill was very happy. Panting heavily, he leaned over and said loudly: "Xiaolin, Xiaolin! I have a good proposal! Let me be your team's exclusive blacksmith! I will make all your equipment in the future! Of course, Ah I will fully cooperate with Ms. Kuya if she wants to forge the mecha, and she will not charge anything except the material fee, how about it! It is a very exciting proposal!"

"Wait, wait, don't bring your face closer!"

Kobayashi pushed his big, panting head away.

To be honest, the way he looked at him with eyes shining brightly and panting inexplicably made him subconsciously clamp his butt.

Put some distance away and let the excited Bill slow down.

Kobayashi asked strangely: "Why do you want to be our exclusive blacksmith? Don't tell me that the reason is just to build mechas. In that case, as long as you spread the news that the mechas that showed great power in the Battle of the Destroyer were made by you , I think many adventurers will come here especially.”

"No, no, you're thinking too simply, Kobayashi."

As if he had guessed that Kobayashi would say that, Bill raised his index finger to deny his statement.

"What do you mean?"

"Think about it carefully, even if I can build a mecha, can it exert its strength as before without the blessing of related technologies? And the most important thing is you, Kobayashi who is driving the mecha. Can the full performance of the mech be exerted? No, it is impossible! Only when the mecha and the driver are integrated can the mecha's strength be fully exerted!"

"……I see."

To put it simply, he not only took a fancy to Akuya's mecha technology, but also took a fancy to Kobayashi's driving skills.

The modifiable main body—[Supreme Throne] has been blown up, can it be transformed into a mecha again?
"No problem, I have successfully recovered the broken mech." Bill gave a thumbs up, grinning with white teeth.

"So it was recycled?!" Xiao Lin was very surprised.

After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "Okay, let you become the exclusive blacksmith of our team. However, to sign a contract, not only the mecha, but also the ordinary equipment must be made by you. But Correspondingly, we will pay you. Of course, it would be even better if we could get a [-]% discount.”

Bill subconsciously refused, "No need, for this kind of money..."

"No." Xiao Lin refused straight away, saying: "Only an equivalent transaction can make the cooperative relationship last for a long time. This is what you deserve, and you cannot be made to pay in vain."

Brothers are still clear.

Although Bill's proposal can save them a lot of expenses, it will inevitably make Bill have different ideas in his heart in the long run, and this is also necessary to promote a good relationship.

But if Akua and Sato Kazuma are allowed to come, I wish Bill would give them free.

After all, that's who they are.

In that case...

"Happy cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation!"

He held Bill's hand tightly, and after the deal was concluded, Xiao Lin suddenly relaxed, leaning on the chair and letting out a long sigh.

"Yeah, I'm exhausted."

"……Eh?"

"Is it an exclusive blacksmith? I didn't expect to have such a harvest, it's a big profit!"

"Aha?!"

The contrast between the front and the back is a bit big, and Bill blinked, not knowing why.

The dumb macho is a little funny.

"Actually, my original purpose was to take the opportunity to ask for a free weapon, but I didn't expect to sign a blacksmith."

"That is to say... I was cheated?"

"Yes, you were deceived."

Kobayashi had a smirk on his lips.

Before, he intentionally asked for trouble just to pave the way for his own benefits. Unexpectedly, Bill would not follow the routine in the middle of the process, but there is no reason not to accept the benefits delivered to the door, so Xiao Lin naturally couldn't let it go.

Bill smiled helplessly after learning the truth.

But he wasn't too angry. One was that he had indeed done something wrong before, and the other was that his goal had been achieved.

It's a win-win situation.

"Then Xiaolin, you can just pick a weapon at random. Of course, it's free, and it's your reward for saving Axel Novice Village."

"Oh, thank you so much."

Kobayashi did not refuse.

Not only Bill, after the villagers learned that it was Kobayashi who saved the town, every time he went out he would get gifts from others to express his gratitude, and Kobayashi did not refuse everyone's kindness.

This time is no exception.

Choosing a long sword is the best choice in terms of material and craftsmanship.

It has to be said that Bill is indeed the best blacksmith in Axel, there is no doubt about it.

Akuya didn't make a mistake either.

"By the way, there is still money." Xiao Lin took out a check from his pocket, handed it to him, and said, "Here, [-]W Eris."

"……Eh?"

Bill, who saw the check, didn't take it, but was stunned for a moment.

Kobayashi was also taken aback.

"What's the matter, maybe there is less money."

"No, it's more."

"Ok?"

"The total material cost is [-]W Eris, not [-]W Eris."

"........."

Kobayashi was silent.

He also thought that the material cost was [-]W Eris, that's why he thought that Bill's asking price was high, and he came to trouble outrageously.

I didn't expect the cost of materials to be so much.

Then, he turned his head slowly and looked at the stupid goddess who was about to leave the blacksmith shop on tiptoe.

"A, Ku, Ya!"

"Yes, sorry!!!"

Akuya was startled when she was discovered, apologized loudly and ran away without looking back, Kobayashi immediately chased after seeing this.

Bill, who was sitting on the chair, sighed, "It's nice to be young..."

Akuya's profession is the High Priest, and her speed and physical strength are hard to describe, so she was quickly caught by Kobayashi.

Rubbing her face desperately, forcing her to tell where the rest of the arrears were spent.

"I bought wine! I bought bubble wine for use!"

"Why is wine so expensive!"

"It's a super rare limited premium sparkling wine!"

"Where's the wine?!"

"Drink up."

What kind of wine can spend [-]W Eris!And he hasn't seen that bottle of wine yet, it was all drunk by the idiot goddess, it's no wonder he's in a good mood.

But all the money was spent, and the wine was drunk, so what else can I say?

Sigh deeply.

Xiao Lin held the cheek of the stupid goddess, his eyes were not affectionate, but threatening, and asked, "Is there no money owed outside?"

"...Huh?" Aqua blinked.

"I said! It's outside! It's gone! It's in arrears! Right!"

"Y-should be gone... right?"

Even though her cheeks were fixed, her eyes were still looking around, not daring to look at Xiao Lin.

"Akuya, why don't you dare look at me?"

"This, this... eh?"

"Hey, what a head!!!"

Akuya suddenly made a cute expression, and Kobayashi was in a bad mood.
