However, before Lucien reached the blacksmith shop, he was stopped by two members of the Law Enforcement Squad.

"Hello, the City Lord of Yizhou invites you. Do you have some time?"

This made Lucien feel a bit strange. Why did the City Lord of Yizhou suddenly think of him?

Had something gone wrong with the quest?

Lucien asked, "What does the City Lord of Yizhou want with me?"

The two members of the Law Enforcement Squad looked at each other, then shook their heads. "We don’t know."

"Fine." Lucien nodded.

Anyway, enhancing his equipment wasn’t something that had to be done immediately.

Soon, under the guidance of the Law Enforcement Squad, he arrived at the City Lord’s mansion.

As soon as he entered, he saw the City Lord of Yizhou pacing back and forth in the reception hall.

Seeing Lucien enter, the City Lord of Yizhou hurriedly stepped forward, a smile on his face. "Falling into the Human World, you’ve finally arrived."

He then glanced at the soldiers at the door and said sternly, "You two, leave. Do not let anyone disturb us."

"Yes!" The two soldiers quickly walked away.

Then, with a wave of the City Lord of Yizhou’s hand, the door slammed shut with a "bang."

He then looked at Lucien with a fawning smile.

Seeing that expression, Lucien was taken aback.

What was the City Lord of Yizhou trying to do?

Did he have a preference for men?

Thinking of this, Lucien couldn’t help but shudder.

This was too terrifying. If this fat guy dared to have any ideas about him, he would definitely run at the first opportunity.

"Come, come, Brother Falling into the Human World, sit, sit. I have some excellent Red Locust Honey Tea here; I’ll brew some for you."

Lucien sat down, watching the City Lord of Yizhou with a vigilant expression.

As for the so-called Red Locust Honey Tea the other party brought over, he didn’t even glance at it.

What if the other party really took a fancy to him and drugged it?

If his innocence was ruined, he wouldn’t want to live anymore.

However, on the surface, he still said, "City Lord of Yizhou, what is this about? Why did you suddenly call me over?"

Seeing that he wasn’t interested in the tea, the City Lord of Yizhou didn’t mind.

He said familiarly, "Don’t call me City Lord of Yizhou anymore, just call me Old Li."

"By the way, how is your quest going? Is there a chance of clearing the Xuanming Pagoda?"

Lucien answered truthfully, "Well, I was preparing to go to the blacksmith shop to enhance all my equipment. After all, there’s only one chance, so I must go all out."

"What? Are you in a hurry?" Li Guowei asked.

Li Guowei quickly shook his head. "No rush, no rush. Those are all minor matters. How about it, do you want my support?"

"I see you’re level 30; I’ll prepare a set of +10 gold equipment for you!"

"Hiss..." Hearing this, Lucien gasped.

This City Lord of Yizhou was too wealthy!

To actually have a full set of level 30 gold equipment enhanced to +10—and to offer it so casually—just how many good things did he have?

However, Lucien didn’t want to accept favors so easily.

Any favor accepted had to be repaid.

If he agreed now and the other party made demands later that he couldn’t fulfill, that would be troublesome.

He might not even be able to stay in the entire Wing Province anymore.

Thinking of this, Lucien quickly waved his hand in refusal.

"No need, no need. I still have some enhancement stones; I can upgrade them myself."

Li Guowei said, "It’s nothing valuable, no need to be so polite."

Lucien still shook his head firmly. "Really, no need. My equipment is good enough for now."

Seeing Lucien so resolute, Li Guowei shook his head. "Fine. But if you have any difficulties, just tell me directly."

"I may not be able to help with everything, but as for equipment and materials, the Wing Province treasury has plenty."

"You must not be polite with me!"

The more Li Guowei acted like this, the more cautious Lucien became.

What exactly was this guy trying to do?

"City Lord Li, what exactly are you trying to do? If you have something to say, just say it directly. As long as it’s within my ability."

Hearing Lucien’s words, Li Guowei’s eyes lit up, though he looked slightly embarrassed.

He glanced around, then leaned closer and whispered a few words into Lucien’s ear.

Hearing this, Lucien’s eyes widened in disbelief.

At the same time, he finally relaxed—at least the man wasn’t interested in him.

"You must not let this spread! This is all for my friend. If word gets out, my friend won’t be able to show his face."

Lucien nodded seriously. "I understand. Your friend—it must be your friend. After all, you’re the City Lord of Yizhou; someone like you surely wouldn’t need it."

Li Guowei nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, yes. With my strength, why would I need it?"

"It’s all my friend’s fault—making it seem like I’m the one who wants it!"

"Anyway, putting that aside, did you get that item or not?"

Lucien nodded. "Yes, I got it."

Li Guowei let out a breath of relief. "Good, good. To have such strength at your age—impressive. Name your price!"

Lucien, however, looked troubled. "But, City Lord of Yizhou, I really don’t want to sell it. I still have great use for it."

Hearing this, Li Guowei immediately became anxious.

"Brother Falling into the Human World, you can’t do this. You’re still young—you’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future!"

"You’ve only been in the Fate Continent for a few months. You have a long life ahead. What kind of treasure can’t you find? You can’t just stand by and watch me—no, my friend—suffer, right?"

Immediately after, Li Guowei gritted his teeth and took out a purple bracelet engraved with exquisite patterns.

The moment Lucien saw it, he couldn’t take his eyes off it.

Whimsical Words (Bracelet)

Special Attribute: Whimsical Words

Whimsical Words: Summons a clone identical to the user in attributes, skills, and talents. (The clone cannot use Whimsical Words.) Max level 60.

This... Lucien didn’t know what to say.

He was tempted—truly tempted.

A clone identical to himself meant safety and overwhelming power.

If there was danger, send the clone. If there was trouble, send the clone.

Even his damage output would increase significantly.

The only drawback was the level requirement—level 40.

Seeing Lucien silent, Li Guowei thought he was dissatisfied and grew anxious.

He quickly put away the bracelet and took out another item.

Just as Lucien was about to agree, he saw the bracelet disappear and another piece of equipment appear instead.

The words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.

Lucien looked at Li Guowei in disbelief.

"Old Li, is this really for me?"

Li Guowei nodded with a pained expression. "As long as you’re willing to trade, this treasure is yours!"

Seeing this, Lucien said nothing and directly took out the one-meter-long Thunderwing Wind Tiger Whip from his backpack.
