After hearing Zhao He's words, Wei Zhongzheng, who was sitting in the top position, couldn't help but look surprised.
It is very common for people from the Weapon Casting Association to give some gifts to talented Weapon Casting students and hand them over in advance.
Therefore, he was not too surprised to learn that Zhao He was a steward of the Weapon Foundry Association and came to give a gift to his grandson.
but……
This is a bit much money.
A lot more than he imagined.
In Wei Zhongzheng's original expectation, Zhao He would at most give Wei Ran some good soldiers-making materials, or give him ten to twenty thousand yuan, and that would be enough.
Who would have known that he actually gave away one hundred thousand yuan and three sophisticated Xuan Weapons.
Judging from the quality of the sophisticated mysterious weapons he brought out, the market price is probably around 30,000 yuan.
In other words, Zhao He came over this time and directly gave 200,000 yuan to Wei Ran!
Two hundred thousand, this is not a small amount.
I can buy a pretty big house.
You can also buy a pretty good rare-level mysterious weapon.
Although he had organized a celebration banquet for Wei Ran in advance after his literary exam ended yesterday, it cost him nearly 100,000 yuan.
But firstly, it was because he wanted to save face, and secondly, he also wanted to use this opportunity to get to know more people, so as to pave the way for Wei Ran and establish relationships with the Wei family.
That's why he was willing to spend so much money.
But this does not mean that one hundred thousand yuan is a small amount of money.
Wei Zhongzheng was not the only one who was surprised by this.
The same goes for Wei Ran.
"Um?"
When Wei Ran heard this, he carefully recalled what Zhao He had just said.
Become a member of their Weapon Casting Association as soon as possible...
And when we first met, I said that I learned that he designed a rare mysterious weapon...
Wei Ran's eyes flashed with strange color, and he took a closer look at Zhao He.
Suddenly, a not very clear memory emerged.
He seemed to have met these grandfather and grandson yesterday when he went to the Weapon Casting Association to purchase weapons-making materials.
I think I saw it when I went to the armory room...
Wei Ran's heart sank, and he vaguely guessed something.
So, he reached out to take the gift from Zhao He and said, "Thank you for the gift, uncle. Is your uncle from the Weapon Foundry Association?"
"Yes." Zhao He nodded and said with a satisfied smile: "I am the manager of the weapon casting area. If you want to come to the Weapon Casting Association to cast soldiers, just come to me. Don't be afraid of trouble. I can directly reserve a casting room for you.
You don’t have to queue up to wait in the military room..."
"Thank you so much, uncle..."
After hearing Zhao He's answer, Wei Ran's face remained unchanged, but he knew in his heart that his guess was correct.
The old man in front of me actually entered the weapon-making room he used last night, and then discovered that he had forged a rare mysterious weapon...
Wei Ran actually didn't care about others knowing that he could forge rare mysterious weapons.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have directly taken out the design drawing of the resurrection armor during the exam.
And his parents also found out last night that he had sketched out a rare mysterious weapon design.
The reason why I didn't tell my classmates and teachers today was simply because I thought it would be a waste of time and effort, so I said I bought it.
And although he doesn't mind being known about it, it doesn't mean that he likes to be peeped by others!
After all, this involves a bit of the secret of the divine weapon arsenal!
However, although Wei Ran was unhappy, he did not fall out on the spot.
He said with a smile: "By the way, uncle, how did you know that I came up with the design of the rare mysterious weapon? I even hid this matter from my parents and grandfather..."
When asked, he looked embarrassed and a little naive.
It seemed that he wanted to hide a surprise, but it was accidentally revealed.
When Zhao He saw this, he knew that his guess was indeed correct.
That autumn leaf knife was the design that Wei Ran submitted for the literary exam.
So, he smiled casually and replied: "I have a friend who is an examiner. I asked him about it, so I know..."
This is of course false.
He has a friend who works as an invigilator, but absolutely no one dares to reveal the information to the outside world at this time.
However, according to Zhao He's idea, since Wei Ran went to the forging room to try to cast a mysterious weapon after the literary test, and it was a rare mysterious weapon, it must be the design he submitted during the literary test.
It's impossible that the martial arts test only lasts five days, and there are still people who have the leisure to forge unrelated mysterious weapons, right?
Even if Wei Ran is talented enough to produce two rare mysterious weapon designs, it is impossible for him to forge the Akiba sword at this time instead of handing in the Akiba sword, right?
Why should I cast the mysterious weapon that should be cast during the martial arts test, so that I can be more confident that it will be cast on that day!
Years of experience have caused Zhao He to fall into misunderstandings.
It's also rare for people like Wei Ran who don't play by the rules.
As a result, what he said in front of Wei Ran was full of clumsy lies.
Explaining with a smile, Zhao He said to Wei Ran: "The martial arts test will be held in a few days. You should come to our Weapon Casting Association often to try out the forging of soldiers in the past few days. My uncle will help you save a forging room, by the way."
, if you have time, you can also communicate with my grandson. It just so happens that his exam question is also about knives..."
Hearing Zhao He's words, Wei Randan smiled and explained: "Uncle, my exam question is not about swords, but about armor. I was just playing with the sword last night..."
Suddenly, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhao He's forehead.
He understood that he had made a mistake!
Without really understanding the truth of the matter, he rashly came to Wei Ran and wanted to befriend him in advance, but instead he let him know his despicable methods!
Made a fatal mistake.
Now, if Wei Ran goes to the Weapon Foundry Association to report him!
Even if he doesn't lose his position in charge, he may still shed a layer of skin!
"ah……"
"That's it..."
Zhao He was very flustered and stuttered a little: "Maybe... my uncle heard it wrong. I'm so sorry..."
"Well, it's okay..." Wei Ran said expressionlessly.
Zhao He was sitting on pins and needles, and after saying a few more words, he finally couldn't sit down anymore, so he stood up to say goodbye and leave.
"Why are you leaving so quickly? Why don't you sit down for a while? We are old classmates. I want to have a few drinks with you tonight..."
Seeing that Zhao He was about to leave, Wei Zhongzheng was greatly surprised and quickly tried to persuade him to stay.
This is sincere.
Not to mention the relationship between the two as classmates, just because Zhao He gave such a large sum of money to his grandson, should he save it for dinner, right?
"No, no, I still have something to deal with..."
Zhao He quickly refused and his face turned pale.
"Okay." Wei Zhongzheng saw this and said helplessly: "Xiaoran, go and see off your uncle and Xiaocheng..."
"Yeah." Wei Ran agreed with a smile.
After the three of them walked out of the Wei family's old house for a while.
Zhao He looked at Wei Ran with a somewhat unnatural expression and said, "Xiao Ran, you don't have to send it off, we can just go back by ourselves."
"Um."
Wei Randan responded calmly and said, "Don't you have anything else to say?"
Zhao He knew that after Wei Ran revealed that his test question was armor, what he had done had not been hidden from Wei Ran.
He took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, I... I was confused for a moment, and I promise it won't happen again..."
"I accepted the money, and that's how it goes..."
Wei Ran turned around and walked towards the Wei family's old house.
