Now that he had some money, the first thing Tian Cheng thought of was how to make a few sturdy cages. Since this method was feasible, Tian Cheng would naturally continue with it. It would be a waste of time and very dangerous. At present, he could only rely on capturing a few little Magical Beast to live. As for, he had thought about it before, but he decided to take it step by step for now. After all, he knew too little about this world.

He finally found a weapon shop, and it seemed to be the only one in town. In front of the door hung a large sign: dwarf Weapons Shop. After walking in, Tian Cheng looked around at the sabers, swords and other strange weapons on the shelves, and frowned. Although he was not really familiar with the forging industry of this world, Tian Cheng was able to discern with a single glance that these things were all inferior items.

Slightly shaking his head, he thought to himself: "Luckily I do not need to sell any weapons now, otherwise, with these damn things, taking them home to chop firewood would be fine. Didn't Grandfather say that the weapons of dwarf are all good quality goods? "Is the construction industry in this world that underdeveloped?" In fact, it was no wonder that Tian Cheng would think this way. What was placed in front of him was indeed not good stuff, and the things that he had seen before all came from advanced technology.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out from the store. Although he was not as fat as the fatty from the Magical Beast, his body was still slightly fat. Seeing Tian Cheng's face full of disdain, she immediately became dissatisfied, but in a state of mind that didn't care about being a child, she still welcomed him. After all, she was a guest.

Seeing that the owner of this place was not dwarf but a human instead, Tian Cheng was not too surprised, he had long heard from the old man that the conflict between the dwarf and the human race was not a problem that could be resolved by war, that over the years, humans had always used all kinds of excuses to wage war against the dwarf, in order to obtain the dwarf's special forging techniques, but even though they had failed to obtain the most valuable forging methods they wished for, the dwarf s that he had captured would mostly have ordinary forging techniques, but just these were not things that normal human forgers could do, so on the slave exchange center, they were all extremely tasty. The dwarf slaves that were bought had no choice but to forge weapons for their masters in order to protect their own lives. Even so, every single dwarf slave still worked hard to forge every single weapon. Their goal wasn't to please their master, but because they viewed forging weapons as a sacred matter. Building a good weapon was their lifelong dream. This also caused the treatment of dwarf slaves in the human society to be way beyond what ordinary slaves could compare to.

Seeing the boss coming forward to welcome him, Tian Cheng's disdainful gaze quickly changed into a respectful attitude. After all, he had something he needed from others. The middle-aged owner did not have any opinions because of Tian Cheng's clothes. Seeing Tian Cheng's smiling face, the trace of anger in his heart immediately disappeared, and he asked: "What does this little brother need? Our weapons are all made by the dwarf, so the quality is very famous. " The middle-aged man praised his weapon.

Seeing the boss's warm smile, Tian Cheng's impression of him improved a lot. At least he wasn't someone who could judge a person's appearance by their appearance. Tian Cheng said apologetically: "I'm sorry boss, I'm not here to buy weapons, but to create some things." As he spoke, he took out the blueprint and handed it over to him. These blueprints were all drawn by Tian Cheng that night. He separated all the parts in the cage and prepared to bring them back to be assembled. This way, it would be easy to carry around and it would not reveal his little secrets. However, Tian Cheng had also made a decision in his heart. Once he had gained a certain amount of economic power, he would teach some hunting techniques to the villagers. After all, when he and the old man were in a difficult situation, there were many people who had helped them.

Looking at the complicated patterns on the paper, the middle-aged man suddenly felt a headache. He had never seen these things before! Although he could read a few words, he was not a blacksmith. To him, these things were even harder to understand than the Heavenly Book. Wiping his bloated eyes, he returned the blueprint back to Tian Cheng, then pointed behind him with a slightly embarrassed look: "Go and find our blacksmith from dwarf, I think he will know what you want to do."

Tian Cheng took the map and walked back into the house. Following the sound of his voice, Tian Cheng quickly arrived at a messy mud hut. He saw a dwarf about 1.2 meters tall, swinging a large hammer that completely didn't fit his figure as he strongly hammered on it, with his upper body bare, sweat flowing all the way to his pants leg, his entire red skin was wrapped around his strong muscles. Although he already knew of dwarf's existence, this was the first time he had seen him today, Tian Cheng was still unable to hold back his shock.

Seeing Tian Cheng's appearance, dwarf also stopped tapping. Wiping away his sweat, he rubbed his goatee as he looked at the young man in front of him and asked straightforwardly: "Kid, what do you have to say? I'm busy right now!"

Tian Cheng shook his head and laughed: "I have long heard that the dwarf Master is the best blacksmith on the continent. These words were definitely not Tian Cheng bragging, but came from the bottom of his heart. Looking at the forging conditions, they were extremely simple and didn't have any technical knowledge. To be able to forge to such an extent with just astonishing strength and skill was an incredible feat.

Hearing Tian Cheng's heartfelt praise, dwarf's heart fiercely laughed a few times, "Not bad, kid. You have a good eye, our dwarf's weapons are ranked second in the entire continent, so no one dares to claim themselves as number one." After saying that, he laughed again.

Tian Cheng took out the map and handed it over to dwarf: "Master still has to trouble you to pack something, to you, there shouldn't be any problems." Tian Cheng knew that there were some things in the design that were difficult to do by hand, so he intentionally said it like that.

dwarf took the map and looked at it. He frowned, but after hearing Tian Cheng's words, he immediately relaxed and said, "Don't call me Grandmaster. My current identity is still a slave! Call me Luk! No problem, although this thing of yours is a bit difficult, it's only a matter of time. "Oh right, how many sets do you want to make?"

Tian Cheng thought for a moment, then said: "Let's have five sets, if there's not enough, we can do it again." The blueprint included two normal cages and one trap. The five traps should be enough for now. As for the ten cages, they would be used as storage.

Luk thought for a while and said: "Alright, I'll take the goods in three days. You're very much to my liking, so I won't do anything else these few days. I'll just specifically serve you."

When Tian Cheng heard that it would only take three days, he was immediately amused. He thought it would take another ten days to half a month! I will come back for it on time in three days. By the way, Master, do all of your dwarf s make weapons like you? "

Hearing that, Luk's smile instantly froze, he lowered his head and sighed, then slowly said: "Of course not, our dwarf's forging techniques are extremely profound, I have only learned a little, and am not even ranked in our clan." He stopped for a moment, his eyes filled with anger as he looked at Tian Cheng and said fiercely: "If it weren't for the fact that you humans plundered our dwarf to such an extent, and killed our clan members mercilessly, which caused a lot of techniques to be lost, our dwarf would not have been reduced to such a state."

Tian Cheng stood there and did not speak. He felt that he had nothing left to say, and the truth was as he had said. If not for the human's greed and cruelty, his dwarf might have been fine, and not being a slave here. However, where there were people, there would be competition and slaughter. Only this way would there be progress in society. The rule of survival of the fittest, the rule of the victor being king, no matter which world it was, was followed.

He was filled with sympathy towards these slaves. Since he couldn't change the rules here, he could only do his best to help them, but he couldn't do anything now. His previous life might not be much better than these slaves'.

After a while, Luk regained his composure and did not explain anything. He simply said, "When the time comes, come and take the goods. Then, he ignored Tian Cheng and started to beat the drum once more.

Tian Cheng also understood what Luk was feeling at the moment. He bowed slightly towards Luk and without saying a word, he turned and walked out of the house. He knew that according to the blacksmith's price, the shop owner would only charge him 5 gold coins for these products that were not considered weapons. Even the most ordinary ones on the shelves would cost dozens of gold coins.
