Chapter 642 Divine Martial Continent (4)
Looking at the sword in front of her, Wangyou wanted to try it out herself, but unfortunately, her physical condition limited her ability to use it. She could only look at it and wait for her brother Zhou Yingcheng to return to find out how effective it would be.
However, judging from her success on the first try, her talent for crafting weapons should be quite good. However, she has limited materials. Although she has some in her space, those materials are different from those on the Divine Martial Continent. The crafted items can only gather dust and cannot be used.
Just like when she refines pills, she uses spiritual herbs from the Divine Martial Continent. She rarely uses the ones in her spatial storage, and when she does, it's only for her own use.
Lacking materials, Wangyou bought a few pieces of black iron online and started carving array plates, figuring she wouldn't be idle anyway.
Just as the food stored in the Forget-Me-Not Space was almost gone, Zhou Yingcheng returned from his vacation, bringing back a considerable amount of supplies.
"Little sister, you haven't been eating properly for the past month, you've lost weight. I'll go make you something delicious." Zhou Yingcheng put the spatial key in Wangyou's hand and went to cook.
Wangyou checked the supplies in the spatial storage. It seemed that her brother's strength had indeed improved a lot. The storage was full of good stuff, and she could study some fun things again.
Zhou Yingcheng quickly prepared four dishes and a soup.
"eat fast."
After finishing his meal, Zhou Yingcheng hurried off to store grain for Wangyou. His younger sister wasn't good at cooking, so he needed to earn more merit and join the army as soon as possible so he could take her away with him.
Wangyou placed the finished longsword on the table so she wouldn't forget it when she got busy. Then, she opened the alchemy furnace and began refining pills. She didn't know how many pills her brother had used when he went out, so she tried to replenish them as much as possible.
While busy cooking, Zhou Yingcheng would occasionally glance at Wangyou and discover that while other assistant masters would take at least an hour to refine a batch of pills, his sister could do it in a quarter of an hour with zero failure rate, something unprecedented in the history of the Divine Martial Continent.
Zhou Yingcheng kept his mouth shut. This matter couldn't be spread. He was still too weak, and his sister was still too young. He needed to be more careful with the medication in the future. At the very least, the Marrow Cleansing Pill was something that absolutely could not be known to outsiders.
Zhou Yingcheng was busy until evening, but he was still almost done.
"Brother, you don't need to prepare so much. If it really doesn't work, I can drink nutritional supplements," Wangyou said with difficulty, because the taste of the nutritional supplements was truly indescribable.
"Sigh, following your older brother must have been tough for you." Zhou Yingcheng felt a pang of sympathy. His younger sister was too sensible; he wished she could be a bit more spoiled like the other support characters.
"Brother, it's not bitter. By the way, this is the longsword I forged for you. Brother, quickly try it out and see how powerful it is." Wangyou handed the sword on the table to Zhou Yingcheng and said.
"Let me see." Zhou Yingcheng noticed it as soon as he came over, but because the sword looked rather dull, he was afraid of dampening his sister's enthusiasm for forging it, so he didn't ask.
As soon as Zhou Yingcheng picked it up, he immediately sensed something different. The ice energy was incredibly rich. Zhou Yingcheng channeled his supernatural power into it and realized that it was actually a high-level energy sword with area-of-effect attacks.
"You used that ice-type energy stone?"
"Hmm, brother, how's this sword?" Wangyou, who couldn't wield a sword, asked expectantly.
“Great, it’s at least a high-level energy sword with an area-of-effect attack. With it, I can hunt more prey in the future. By the way, sister, what else did you add? Why did it seem so ordinary when I first saw it?”
"I added some stones that were scattered during the stone-cutting process."
“That’s right. A stone that can block the detection of a high-level assistant master must have a different effect. Little sister, you’re really smart.”
"My brother is amazing too; he brought back so much meat and vegetables this time."
"With this sword you gave me, I can bring back even more next month, and you definitely won't go hungry."
"Brother, let's put aside the meat for now. You can't risk your life just to kill a monster. If something happens to you, your little sister will really become a pitiful little thing that no one wants," Wangyou said seriously.
"I know, I will take good care of this little life." Zhou Yingcheng knew his sister's worries and solemnly promised.
The time spent together was always too short. The next morning, Zhou Yingcheng got up early, prepared breakfast, and went back to school.
After Wangyou got up and ate breakfast, she saw the medicine in her space. Well, she was too excited last night and didn't give him the pills. But Zhou Yingcheng should still have a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have refused them. Thinking of this, Wangyou felt much more at ease.
Afterwards, she sat in the courtyard and began to sort through the supplies Zhou Yingcheng had given her the night before. There were spirit herbs, ores, and two exotic beast crystal cores. It seemed that her brother was quite strong.
What Wangyou didn't know was that in the Divine Martial Continent, the highest combat strength was only a level nine ability user, and most combat masters were between level three and four. Level five and above could be the captain of a hunting team, and he, a freshman, was already level five, which would inevitably attract the attention of the higher-ups.
And the higher-ups are indeed paying close attention. An eighteen-year-old level five ice-type ability user is worth their training. If trained well, he will be a great source of reassurance for the Federation in the future.
This shows that as long as Zhou Yingcheng doesn't do anything reckless, his future will definitely be bright.
However, he also faced many challenges. First of all, all the major families wanted to win him over. Fortunately, Zhou Yingcheng was determined to join the army, and with the help of a high-ranking military official, the brother and sister were able to live a peaceful life.
However, Zhou Yingcheng may or may not know these things, and Wangyou certainly doesn't know them either. Right now, she's thinking about how to increase the birth rate. Putting aside everything else, her brother will definitely get married in the future, and he'll have to have at least one nephew or niece for her to play with.
However, Wangyou wasn't in a hurry. Her brother definitely wouldn't get married early. In the Divine Martial Continent, the average lifespan of a warrior is around three hundred years, while that of a support warrior is around two hundred years. Plus, Zhou Yingcheng has her as a burden, so he definitely won't get married early. Therefore, she has plenty of time.
Wangyou now wants to go to the poisonous fog area to see if there are any herbs that can increase the chances of getting pregnant. She's tired of staying in this square area every day.
She couldn't go out either. Although the crime rate near the military district was extremely low, it didn't mean there was none. What if someone tried to break into her house and steal her supplies? Her small arms and legs wouldn't be able to stop them!
If she uses medication, it's fine if no one notices, but if someone does, does she have to kill everyone? That would be even bigger trouble.
Depressed, Wangyou has lost interest in studying and has now taken to daydreaming.
Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye. Zhou Yingcheng had already entered the military two years ago, and because of his outstanding military achievements, he was promoted very quickly. A year ago, after obtaining the qualification to apply for housing, he immediately applied and brought Wangyou to live with him.
