My Items Can Upgrade-Chapter 182 - 141: Golden Arrow (45–47/101)

Zhao Jiayan emerged from the back hall, her expression somewhat solemn as she said, "A being whose words become law, even if they’re not a true god, is likely somewhat related to one. You want to meet the carver, you wouldn’t be..."

"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything I’m not sure about," said Yang Yuan.

He didn’t want to be trapped here for the rest of his life.

The sandstorms here would definitely last for decades, surviving in such an environment for decades would be unbearable even for superpower users.

Zhao Jiayan recalled that when Yang Yuan devised the plan to kill the Drought Fiend, he seemed to have said similar things.

At that time, she didn’t quite believe it either, but in the end, that terrifying Drought Fiend was indeed killed by him.

So she nodded, "Then wait until you have absolute confidence before proceeding, don’t take risks."

"I know, my life is precious," Yang Yuan chuckled.

Director Yan’s efficiency was really high, within less than ten minutes, Deputy Leader Lingde personally brought over a middle-aged man.

"Mr. Yang Yuan, this is Tang Song, Tang Carver," he said to Yang Yuan, then turned and left.

Yang Yuan looked at Tang Song.

This was a very skinny man, unkempt and scruffy, and at the moment, he was carrying a huge, worn travel bag.

Anyone who didn’t know might think he was a homeless man thrown out by his wife.

"Hello Mr. Yang Yuan, I’m Tang Song, nice to meet you."

Tang Song clearly already knew the purpose for which he was brought over, and he also knew Yang Yuan’s identity.

He happily said, "I heard you want to purchase a large number of Exorcism Sculptures, I’ve brought all my remaining sculptures, take a look."

With that, he placed the worn travel bag down and unzipped it, revealing at least forty to fifty palm-sized wooden Buddhas inside.

Yang Yuan picked up one of the wooden Buddhas, discovering it was indeed identical to the one Yan Chenggong gave him last night.

So he asked, "How much are they?"

"One hundred Spirit Monster Core each, of course, if you want them all, I can give you a twenty percent discount."

Tang Song made a ’eight’ gesture with his hand.

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "I’ll take all of these sculptures, but I want to order some sculptures with different functions, can you carve sculptures with other functions?"

"Of course!"

Tang Song proudly stated, "Back on Earth, I was a well-known carver, and after coming to this world, naturally, I awakened the ability of a carver superpower. I can carve anything from the heaven and earth, and whatever I carve, it resembles that thing and possesses some of its characteristics."

Yang Yuan glanced at this man who only had a barely human-level initial aura, outwardly showed a sincere smile, and said, "Great, let’s go inside and talk, Tang Master, please come in."

"Alright, alright."

Tang Song happily carried his backpack and walked into the shop, business like this wasn’t seen often.

Yang Yuan casually pulled down the shutter door.

Tang Song’s expression changed, he quickly backed up a few steps, warily watching Yang Yuan, "Mr. Yang Yuan, Director Yan won’t allow robbery within the camp, even if you kill and silence me, it’s no use. If I don’t return tonight, Director Yan will definitely know."

Yang Yuan was amused and explained, "Tang Master misunderstood, the things I need carved require secrecy, so I have to close the door."

"Is it really so?"

Only then did Tang Song breathe a sigh of relief and curiously asked, "What do you need carved?"

"The Golden Arrow of Aeolus from the Athena myth — the Godslaying Arrow," Yang Yuan said.

"Godslaying..."

Tang Song’s face changed, "What are you planning? And carving such a thing here is very dangerous."

"Meaning, you can really carve it out?" Yang Yuan was surprised.

"Of course I can, but I refuse," Tang Song said without hesitation.

"How about I offer one thousand Spirit Monster Core," Yang Yuan proposed.

"One thousand?" Tang Song sneered at him, treating him like those poor outsiders?

"...I misspoke, ten thousand," Yang Yuan said.

Tang Song hesitated, ten thousand Spirit Monster Core was already a lot for him.

But it would be risky, and it might even pose a life-threatening danger, especially with a Mountain God nearby.

Even if that Mountain God wasn’t a true god, anything linked to ’god’ wouldn’t be simple, and if angered...

"Twenty thousand, no more, Tang Master, don’t be too greedy, it’s just an arrow, maybe you’re overthinking it," Yang Yuan said.

"I’m not overthinking."

Tang Song said, "The Golden Arrow must be carved from gold to have that divine charm. Moreover, carving on gold is extremely draining and exhausting."

After a pause, he quickly added, "However, if you truly offer twenty thousand Spirit Monster Core, I’m willing to take the risk and try, but you must ensure this matter doesn’t spread, or those believers in gods will surely trouble me."

"Of course, that’s why I closed the door, for your sake. Otherwise, I’d have said it directly outside," Yang Yuan smiled.

"Thank you, it was my misunderstanding before."

Tang Song showed gratitude, realizing the other party had considered even this for him: "By the way, what do you want the Golden Arrow for?"

"It’s for self-defense, after all, there’s a malevolent Mountain God nearby. Do you really think I’d use it to kill the Mountain God? Hahaha, Tang Master wouldn’t be so naive, right?" Yang Yuan laughed.

"For self-defense? Alright."

Tang Song believed him, after all, he knew best what kind of thing he himself carved.

The things he carved, although they had some divine charm, that was about it.

Thinking of using it to kill a Mountain God would indeed be overthinking it.
