Chapter 772 Hero Invitations, Those Fated With Connate Divine Weapons (1)
"Old Shi, how can you say that I"m taking advantage of you?" Zhou Shu shook his head. "This is called friendly a.s.sistance.
"Old Shi, if you want me to help you get the Divine Stones, shouldn"t you do me a small favor? I can"t possibly risk my life to help you get the Divine Stones for nothing, right?"
"Are you trying to fool me? You"re still too inexperienced," Shi Changsheng said disdainfully. "Unless you place a Divine Stone in front of me now, you"d better give up on getting me to help you."
"I don"t care." Zhou Shu shrugged. "Old Shi, it"s fine if you"re unwilling. Don"t talk about Divine Stones anymore. I"m still busy forging. I don"t have time to do anything else."
Shi Changsheng fumed and glared at him helplessly.
There was a saying that went, one who had no desires would be firm. Now, Zhou Shu wasn"t asking him for a favor. Instead, he was asking Zhou Shu to do something. If he had a request, it was equivalent to having a weakness. So he couldn"t blame others for wanting to take advantage of him.
The conversation in his consciousness didn"t affect Zhou Shu"s movements at all. He continued to use the Iron Smelting Hands Technique to forge.
Although Zhou Shu also wanted the Divine Stones that Shi Changsheng mentioned, he wasn"t in a hurry. In this situation, he wouldn"t move if he didn"t need to.
Wouldn"t it be nice to forge more divine weapons, enrich his worker team, wait for the war to start, and harvest strength?
Zhou Shu was not in a hurry, but Shi Changsheng was.
Shi Changsheng originally thought Zhou Shu, a forger, would hurriedly take action when he heard the news of the Divine Stones.
In the end, Zhou Shu was completely indifferent!
Shi Changsheng didn"t know that Zhou Shu had the Legendary Armament Canon. Even forging the most ordinary connate divine weapons could constantly bring him benefits.
He didn"t need to pursue a single powerful divine weapon at all.
After all, no matter how powerful a divine weapon was, how many demonic beasts could it kill?
It was better to have more ordinary connate divine weapons. As long as there were enough of them, they could bring Zhou Shu immense benefits.
"Young fellow, do you know how precious Divine Stones are?" Shi Changsheng continued to bewitch Zhou Shu in his consciousness. "Let me tell you. There are probably not many Divine Stones in the entire world now. As a forger, don"t you want to forge a peerless divine weapon one day?"
"I want to, but there"s no point in being anxious. I have to take things one step at a time," Zhou Shu said indifferently. "I know my own level. I"m not in a hurry to forge a grotto-heaven divine weapon."
Shi Changsheng: "…"
"Young fellow, as a forger, you have to have ambitions!" Shi Changsheng said earnestly. "If you don"t grab the Divine Stones now, it"ll be too late when you want them!
"They aren"t things you can get anytime you want. There won"t be another chance like this!"
Shi Changsheng showed a rare hint of urgency.
"So be it," Zhou Shu said indifferently. "Without a Divine Stone, no one in the world can forge a grotto-heaven divine weapon. Since no one can forge one, it"s no different from not having one."
Since no one had one, he could take it as they didn"t exist.
Shi Changsheng: "…"
What he said makes sense. I"m speechless!
"How can you not have any ambitions?" Shi Changsheng said angrily.
"I have ambitions," Zhou Shu said. "Aren"t I busy forging?
"Old Shi, it"s not that I"m bragging, but putting aside grotto-heaven divine weapons, there are not many ordinary connate divine weapons that are forged better than mine, even among the grotto-heavens."
Zhou Shu was very confident. As for grotto-heaven divine weapons, there were not many Divine Stones in total. Moreover, how many people could forge grotto-heaven divine weapons?
Hearing Zhou Shu say this, Shi Changsheng felt a little helpless, but it didn"t seem too unreasonable. In this world, there had not been many people who could forge grotto-heaven divine weapons back then, let alone now.
Even if he couldn"t forge a grotto-heaven divine weapon, it didn"t seem to affect anything much.
"You…" Shi Changsheng glared. "Forget it. For the future of the human race, I"ll sacrifice a little."
Shi Changsheng sighed. "Tell me. How do you want me to help you? If not for the fact that I see that you can resist demonic beasts in the future, I definitely wouldn"t help you like this. You have to be grateful."
"Old Shi, you"re right." Zhou Shu smiled.
As long as the substantial benefits were his, so what if others took advantage of him?
"Actually, what I want to ask you to help me do is really just a trivial matter," Zhou Shu continued. "If not for the fact that I really don"t have any manpower with me now, I wouldn"t need you to do anything. But right now, I"ll have to trouble you."
"Alright, let"s not beat around the bush. You"re not sincere enough. It"s unpleasant to hear," Shi Changsheng said angrily.
"Alright, since you like to be direct, Old Shi, I"ll be straightforward," Zhou Shu said. "I want you to help me deliver hero invitations."
"Hero invitations?" Shi Changsheng said in confusion. "What is that?"
"The so-called hero invitations are invitations to invite all the heroes in the world…" Zhou Shu explained casually.
"Invite all the heroes in the world?" Shi Changsheng sneered. "Who are the heroes in the world today? Who dares to call themselves a hero? Who is qualified to call themselves a hero?"
"Old Shi, why are you being so serious?" Zhou Shu shook his head and smiled. "It"s just a t.i.tle. Even though they"re called hero invitations, do they have to invite true heroes?"
