Betty didn’t expect Song Jian to break free from the wooden target on his own; this was completely beyond her expectation.
If Song Jian didn’t move, the last flying knife would just graze his body and embed itself into the wooden target, leaving him in a near-death state at most.
However, now Song Jian had broken free, his position changed, and the last flying knife posed a risk to his life.
Since Song Jian could take out the equipment box, it was evident that he had a good relationship with Hacus. Everyone in the Shadow Circus Troupe knew about this set of equipment. If Betty accidentally killed Song Jian this time, Hacus would probably be furious.
Fortunately, Song Jian had many life-saving skills. Abyssal Phantom appeared, and the flying knife instantly killed the Phantom Clone. Song Jian’s face was pale; the power of this knife astonished him. Even he himself would find it difficult to instantly kill Phantom Clone since it had seventy percent of his attributes.
Betty patted her chest, scared out of her wits. Seeing Song Jian still alive, she showed a relieved expression on her face, but it quickly faded.
She walked up to Song Jian, tossed a purple potion at him, and said with distaste, “You’re so weak. My flying knife didn’t even touch you, and you look like you’re about to die. Were you scared?”
Song Jian gave a bitter smile, took the purple potion, and was stunned when he looked at it.
“Full Recovery Potion? Instantly fills 100% Vitality Points, with a cooldown time of 30 seconds?” Song Jian exclaimed.
“All right, drink it quickly, and don’t tell the old guy about it. It was just for fun, and you’re just too fragile…” Betty said nervously.
Song Jian hesitated for a moment, ultimately putting the potion into his inventory. As for his lost Vitality Points, he wasn’t in battle right now, so he could just wait for them to recover slowly. It would only take two or three hours for Song Jian’s Vitality Points to be fully restored.
“Do you have the Alchemy formula for the Complete Recovery Potion?” Song Jian asked, glancing at Betty.
“I don’t know Alchemy…” Betty rolled her eyes.
Song Jian nodded. Hacus told him to find Betty to repair the equipment. Obviously, her Forge Art must have reached a high level. It was reasonable that she didn’t excel in Alchemy, but there must be someone in the Shadow Circus Troupe who was an expert in Alchemy.
“Um, my equipment…” Song Jian pointed at the equipment box.
“Of course, since I promised you, I’ll fix it for you…” Betty’s eyes gleamed slyly and nodded.
“Thank you so much…” Song Jian nodded, his heart filled with tears. After all, he had just risked his life for this chance to repair the equipment!
“Don’t be in a hurry; I haven’t finished talking…” Betty waved her hand, and Song Jian suddenly felt a sense of unease.
“I can repair this equipment, but you have to provide the materials required for the repair…” said Betty.
“May I ask what materials are needed and how much of them?” Song Jian asked cautiously. He finally understood why after so many years, Hacus hadn’t repaired the equipment. Apparently, the last difficulty must be the materials required for the repair.
“You’ll need the Ant shells from the Golden Ant Clan…” Betty said.
“That’s easy…” Song Jian sighed in relief. He had plenty of ant shells in his inventory, which was almost full.
“Golden-quality Ant shells…” Betty added.
Song Jian: “…”
Ordinary soldier ants and worker ants would only drop blue-quality Ant shells, while the Ant King would have a chance to drop silver-quality ones. To get golden-quality Ant shells, they had to hunt down the Ant King Progenitor.
If Song Jian hadn’t witnessed the power of the Ant King Progenitor, he would have agreed to do it. However, now that he had seen the power of the Ant King Progenitor, he didn’t dare to say he could kill it, even if he reached level 30 and attained the First-Order Combat Power.
“No wonder Hacus hasn’t been able to repair this equipment for so many years…” Song Jian’s face suddenly darkened.
“This equipment was just his gear before he gained First-Order Combat Power. There’s no need to repair it at all. After he gained First-Order power, he stopped using this equipment…” Betty said, sticking out her tongue.
“Is there any other way?” Song Jian asked tentatively.
“Regular blue Ant shells will also work,” Betty suddenly said. “But you must have a large number of blue-quality Ant shells. I can merge blue-quality Ant shells into silver-quality and then use silver-quality to merge into golden-quality…”
Song Jian’s face showed a hint of joy;
Betty glanced at him and said, “To fully repair this equipment, you’ll need at least eight thousand blue-quality Ant shells. Also, there’s a failure rate in the merging process. Lastly, I won’t merge them for free. I’ll need a certain amount of labor fees…”
“No problem!” Song Jian waved his hand.
“The labor fee will be about 1.3 million Doomsday Coins…” Betty said.
Song Jian’s waving hand suddenly froze.
Originally, he thought it would only cost a few thousand Doomsday Coins, but he didn’t expect it to be 1.3 million Doomsday Coins.
“Miss Betty, isn’t this price a bit too high?” Song Jian said with a bitter face.
Although Song Jian’s current financial strength far exceeded that of ordinary players, 1.3 million Doomsday Coins was still beyond his means.
“Aren’t you a lord?” Betty looked surprised, thinking that lords were supposed to be wealthy.
“Sorry, do you have a misunderstanding about lords?” Song Jian said helplessly. “Even if I sold my entire territory, I wouldn’t have 1.3 million Doomsday Coins…”
“Fine, then give me 130,000 Doomsday Coins…” Betty waved her hand.
Song Jian: “…”
I’m so tired!
Just when Song Jian was about to take out the money, he suddenly remembered something, took out a forging recipe from his inventory, and asked Betty, “Can I use this recipe to substitute the 130,000 labor fees?”
“Forging recipe?” Betty looked interested. “Let me see.”
Song Jian handed over the Demonic Ant Queen Set Gauntlet recipe he obtained from the Golden Ant Clan lair.
“The Demonic Ant Queen Set? Not bad. Let me see. Hmm, the forging method is somewhat different from what I know, but the handling of the forging arc is excellent…” Betty took the recipe and studied it carefully.
After a long study, Betty seemed to remember that there was another person beside her. Looking slightly embarrassed, she coughed and raised her head, saying, “All right, I’ll accept this recipe for the labor fee…”
Seeing Betty’s excited expression, Song Jian wondered if he had just sold the recipe for too little…
