Chapter 192 Goodbye Master Lin
Chapter 192 Goodbye Master Lin
With Teacher Wang's departure, only three people were left in the car, looking at each other in bewilderment. Qi Yu lifted the curtain again and looked outside. He saw Teacher Wang first handed a small purse to the driver, and then, at the driver's nod, he walked straight to a tavern with a smile on his face.
Qi Yu was slightly embarrassed when he saw this. How could this be a way to get work done? This was clearly a pretext for eating, drinking and having fun.
Seeing Qi Yu's expression, Zhao Ran just shrugged and said, "Don't worry, Qi Yu, it's normal for teachers on duty to do this. When you are promoted to the teacher level, you will know."
Qi Yu looked up and asked in surprise: "Do you know me?"
"I recognized you the first time I saw you at the school gate." Zhao Ran winked at him and said, "With your fame, there are very few apprentices who don't know you."
While the two were talking, Zhou Xi stood up almost suddenly, and then without saying a word, walked out of the carriage in front of the two people.
It was not until the carriage door slammed shut that Qi Yu reacted. He rushed to the door, opened the door and rushed out under Zhao Ran's surprised gaze.
Qi Yu was seen standing in front of the carriage looking around, trying to find Zhou Xi, but to his disappointment, there were only passers-by coming and going, no trace of her.
"What should I do?" Qi Yu said to himself, "I haven't asked him about the dungeon yet."
At this moment, Qi Yu heard a noise behind him. He turned around and saw Zhao Ran also got out of the car. He asked with a strange expression: "What's wrong, Qi Yu? Why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that Zhou Xi took your things?"
Hearing this, Qi Yu shook his head and said, "No, I just want to ask her something. They are all trivial matters. It won't be too late to ask her when she comes back."
Zhao Ran nodded: "Is that so? Does classmate Qi Yu have anywhere to go? If not, I know a good place. I'll buy you a drink?"
Qi Yu thought about it, and finally shook his head and politely declined the other party. His plan was to use this time to search for some equipment or potions that could save his life.
After all, unlike the other two, he came to the Fire Element Academy not just for exchange studies, but to a place like hell where people could die. So in the face of the overall situation, he should focus on business. Eating, drinking and having fun? He could wait until he was settled.
His original intention was to get closer to him. After all, Qi Yu was a rising star and might be useful in the future. But since Qi Yu refused, he couldn't insist. After all, it was their first meeting and the invitation was abrupt. It was understandable that the other party refused. So after saying goodbye to Qi Yu, he walked into the downtown alone.
Looking at Zhao Ran's disappearing back, Qi Yu sighed, then looked around again and found that he didn't know where he was.
In fact, it was normal that Qi Yu didn't know him. Except for the time when he first arrived in the Element City, the time when he went to the auction with Zhang Xu, and the time when he took Su Yu and the other daughter out for a trip, he had never been around the city again.
So he found a few vendors on the spot and asked for directions. After paying a few copper coins in directions, he finally figured out where the place was and got a map of the entire Elemental City.
He looked at his location on the map and was surprised to find that he was actually not far from Master Lin's blacksmith shop, just two streets away.
This discovery made him very happy. After all, he had already planned to find time to go to the master's blacksmith shop to repair the broken cobalt blue knight shield, and he also wanted to ask about the grass sword.
Thinking of this, he followed the direction of the map and walked towards Master Lin's blacksmith shop two streets away.

Elemental City, Master Lin's Blacksmith Shop
At this time, Master Lin was sitting in front of the craftsman's workshop. His white coat was already covered with dust and oil, becoming dirty and messy. The glasses on his face were also dirty. He looked like he had crawled out of a garbage dump.
Although he looked very disheveled, his eyes were shining brightly. He looked at the mechanical device in front of him with a slight smile on his face, and then he began to assemble the parts one by one.
"Add a little of this, and adjust this side..." As Master Lin muttered to himself, the handbrake moved faster and faster. After a while, accompanied by a burst of sparks, a brand new ornament appeared in his hand.
"Successful, hahahahahahaha, my rocket boots 2.0 are a success!"
Master Lin wiped the sweat off his face that had already turned into mud, and raised the thing in his hand with excitement. It was a pair of brown leather boots. The boots were beautiful as a whole, with many mechanical parts and gears inlaid on the top. At the bottom of the boots, eight flame-jet holes were arranged in a geometric distribution on the soles of the feet.
"After the improvements this time, it is definitely much stronger than the last time. As for how much stronger it is, we have to find another unlucky person to test it. Who should we find..."
Master Lin looked at the boots in his hand, talking to himself, and recalling the scene of the last test: at that time, the first generation of boots had just been made, and in order to test its performance parameters, he randomly hired someone to try them on.
The result was that the flight function test was successful, and the powerful rocket thrust quickly made the man fly, but before he could continue to be happy, problems arose.
The man did fly, but he couldn't control his direction in the air. In addition, the thrust was too great, so he ran around in the alley like a headless fly.
It smashed a house's glass one moment and bent a telephone pole the next. During this process, the poor experimenter was almost wailing constantly. Finally, as the fuel ran out, it stopped in free fall.
Imagining the inhuman experimenter at that time, Master Lin shook his head and then encouraged himself:
"No, it definitely won't happen this time. I've learned from the last lesson and installed a balance module and a fuel convergence module on the rocket boots. I spent a lot of money to get this from the Mechanical Kingdom. There will be no problem this time. However, someone needs to test it."
Master Lin was quite distressed about this. After all, after the last incident, basically no one in the surrounding area was willing to be his experiment subject anymore.
What? You ask why he doesn't try it on himself? Are you kidding? He still wants to live a few more years. If he has an accident, how can he live up to his reputation as a craftsman and pursue more powerful inventions?
Just as he was struggling, the door was suddenly pushed open. Master Lin turned his head to look at the person who came and smiled: "Hey, aren't you here?"
