"Mom, little sister, I'm back."
After returning home, Chen Lei greeted his mother and younger sister.
"Lei'er, how was your day? Are you tired?"
Chen Lei's mother is a beautiful young woman. Although she is wearing a coarse cloth skirt, it cannot hide her gracefulness. And her younger sister, Chen Qian'er, is a rare beauty. She is also very talented. Although she is only eleven years old, she has already reached the eighth level of Wuji Realm. Although she is not as good as Chen Lei back then, she is definitely a rare genius in the entire Chen family.
Chen Qian'er's catchphrase is: "Brother, I will protect you!"
Seeing his mother and sister, Chen Lei felt a deep warmth in his heart. In his previous life, his parents and younger sister died at the hands of the Blood Wolf Bandits. In this life, he wanted to protect his parents and younger sister and make them happy for the rest of their lives.
"Mom, I'm fine. There's still a lot of money left at home. I need it urgently."
Chen Lei was not polite and spoke directly to his mother.
Chen Lei's mother was very confident in him. She did not ask Chen Lei what he wanted the money for and directly gave Chen Lei the only one hundred taels of silver in the family.
"One hundred taels of silver? That's enough. Mother, I'm going out for a while and will be back later today. Don't worry."
After taking the money, Chen Lei said something to his mother and younger sister, then turned and left.
"Be careful and come back soon."
Mother Chen gave Chen Lei some instructions and watched him leave.
After Chen Lei left home, he went directly to a blacksmith shop in the town and said to the blacksmith Chen Dachui, "Uncle Dachui, can you lend me your shop? Here is one hundred taels of silver. I'll rent it to you."
Chen Dachui smiled and said, "Okay, no problem. Can I help you, uncle?"
Chen Lei said: "No, but don't let anyone disturb me during this time. I will be out in two hours at most."
Chen Dachui said, "No problem." Then, Chen Lei went straight into the blacksmith shop, and Chen Dachui locked the door of the blacksmith shop.
After a while, a series of clanging sounds came from the blacksmith shop. The sound contained a certain charm, which made Chen Dachui's eyes light up outside: "This kid is so mysterious, what is he tinkering with?"
Two hours later, Chen Lei came out holding a copper stick more than two meters long, which was engraved with intricate patterns.
"Uncle Dachui, I used your two hundred catties of red copper and ten catties of refined iron, plus the rent for the shop, one hundred taels of silver should be enough, right?"
Chen Lei said to Chen Dachui.
"That's enough, that's enough, it won't work, what did you get?"
Chen Dachui smiled happily. Sixty taels of silver were enough to buy the things Chen Lei needed.
"That's fine. Goodbye, Uncle Hammer."
Chen Lei did not answer Chen Dachui's question at all. He ran away with the copper stick that was more than two meters long.
"This kid is still so irritable."
Chen Dachui laughed and scolded him, but ignored him.
Chen Lei quickly left Qingyang Town and, regardless of the darkness, went straight into the Qingyang Mountain behind.
Soon, Chen Lei arrived at an uninhabited hilltop in Qingyang Mountain. After checking that there was no one around, he took a deep breath, inserted the two-meter-long copper stick in his hand into the top of the hill, and activated a mechanism on the copper stick.
