My Stand-in is Steve

“Boss, strengthen Sajia!”

Fang Mo slapped the Mayuling knife in his hand on the table and shouted.

"Why!?"

Kelly was cleaning a pile of metal scraps on the ground, and didn't notice the movement on the street. Suddenly she heard Fang Mo's voice, and she seemed to be startled, and she almost dropped the broom in her hand. Go down.

 Subconsciously raising her head, Kelly also noticed Fang Mo here.

Of course there was the huge purple blade next to him. Kelly was slightly startled at first, but soon, a harmless smile appeared on her pretty face.

 Look, isn’t this just business?

 “Hehehe.” Kelly greeted in a friendly tone: “This young man is quite handsome...”

 Actually, to be honest, Kelly looks surprisingly pretty.

Originally, the vertical painting of this product in the game was quite good, but now that I have seen her in person, her appearance seems to be even better.

The friendly and attractive face... has just the right amount of makeup. Her dark brown hair is randomly **** with two wooden hairpins. She is wearing a breathable cloth robe, and the collar on her chest is very low, revealing her bulging breasts. It's a big piece, and the hem of the robe on the left side is also very high. Inside is the Tianjie people's iconic white long crotch... This really has the flavor of a sassy and optimistic big sister in it.

 To be honest, she was just standing here.

It can attract a large number of young and ignorant adventurers.

In fact, Kelly has always done this...when she sees an adventurer passing by, she says hello, and then makes a conversation about using her power-up machine or something.

 It’s a pity today.

Her wishful thinking may come to nothing.

Because Fang Mo doesn't like this kind of sister-type role at all. Female gunmen and the like are not his cup of tea at all. Rumor has it that the Tianjie people are taller than the little demon at the age of three, and they can scare the mayor of Echeng County at the age of eight. , maybe some people are better at this, but for Fang Mo... this is not copper at all!

 “Stop **** doing this with me!”

Fang Mo slapped the table directly, feeling like he didn't buy it at all: "Hurry up and strengthen my weapons, or I will punch your ashes into the sea of ​​​​the sky!"

 “Ahaha, little brother, you have quite a bad temper.”

However, Kelly just smiled: "But I think you are quite unfamiliar. It must be your first time coming to Hedunmar, right? If you want to strengthen your equipment, you have found the right person, because there are only I just have this kind of technology.”

 Speaking of which.

Kelly walked directly towards a machine.

“Did you see it? This is called a strengthening furnace. It can make your equipment stronger.”

Kelly patted a machine at the door of her store, then pointed to the weapons display rack next to it, and introduced: "Did you see the light shining on those weapons? This is what the weapons look like after they have been strengthened. It looks like they are several times stronger than before."

"Oh, is it so?"

 Fang Mo nodded deliberately and cooperated: "Then what is its principle?"

"Haha, these are all heavenly technologies. Even if you tell me, you don't understand." Kelly laughed at first, but then quickly explained: "But to put it simply, it is probably the use of machinery to convert colorless crystals into Extract the power and strengthen the weapons, but if you want to activate the machine, you must use the furnace carbon unique to the Heavenly Hearth Desert."

 “Then where can I buy it?”

Fang Mo asked again deliberately.

"Actually, I also found traces of this thing on the continent of Arad." The smile on Kelly's face became brighter: "If you don't have it, you can also buy it from me... Of course, this money But it has to be calculated separately.”

“It’s okay, buddy, I’m not short of money, I can just buy it from you.”

Fang Mo waved his hand generously, then took out a large gold brick and slapped it on the table: "Hurry up and strengthen it for me."

 “Hehehe, okay.”

Kelly nodded immediately when she saw this, and then reached out to pick up the Mayuling cleaver on the table.

"etc!"

However, just as Kelly stretched out her hand, Fang Mo suddenly shouted a little harshly.

"What...what's wrong?" Kelly retracted her hand subconsciously, and the smile on her face seemed a little stiff: "Little handsome boy, do you have any other questions?"

 “You are strengthening...”

Fang Mo stared at Kelly with a thoughtful look on his face: "Is it cooked?"

"ah?"

Kelly was stunned when she heard this: "What?"

"Oh, I'm sorry for being ridiculous." Fang Mo playfully touched his Mayuling cleaver: "I mean, is there any risk in strengthening it?"

 “Oh, you said this.”

When Kelly heard this, she felt relieved, and then she smiled charmingly again: "Of course there is a risk... After all, how can becoming stronger be costless? Brother, don't you think so?"

 “That makes some sense.”

Fang Mo nodded, then looked up at the other party: "So... what's the price?"

“Don’t worry, I have optimized this machine many times. Although there is still a certain risk of failure, this chance is very small.”

I saw Kelly patting her chest vowingly: "And if you only strengthen the first ten times, if you fail, you will be back to the starting point at most, without damaging the equipment. Of course, the strength is relatively low. If you really want to To become stronger... you can also consider strengthening it fifteen times in one breath."

“It’s okay to strengthen it fifteen times in one breath.”

Even Fang Mo couldn't hold back after hearing what Kelly said: "What if the reinforcement fails?"

"If you fail, the equipment will be damaged, and the temperature of the strengthening furnace will turn the equipment into residue." Kelly said with a bit of dodge in her eyes: "Of course, I will try my best to help you recover the losses and remove the remaining crystal blocks and residues in the furnace. The element crystal is returned to you."

 “Well, if you break my equipment...”

Fang Mo pondered for a moment, and then raised his head as if he had made a decision: "Then help me say hello to your dad."

"Excuse me."

Kelly was stunned for a moment, but she still subconsciously said: "My father has passed away."

"I know."

Fang Mo smiled and nodded.

　　　…”

Then this time Kelly couldn't laugh anymore.

After a long time, she laughed awkwardly: "Well, please don't worry, the success rate of my strengthening furnace is quite high."

 “It’s useless to talk too much.”

Fang Mo nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Just strengthen it."

"Hehehe, okay." Hearing the word "strengthen", the embarrassment on Kelly's face disappeared instantly, and she immediately came over with a smile and prepared to get the Mayuling chopping knife on the table, but just at this moment, Fang Mo He patted the table again.

"etc!"

“…Brother, what’s going on with you?”

Kelly was interrupted several times, and to be honest, she felt a little dissatisfied. At this moment, she subconsciously frowned and asked, "Don't you want to become stronger?"

 “I definitely want to become stronger.”

Fang Mo raised his eyebrows: "But I didn't let you touch my mazi either. Did I say I wanted to strengthen it?"

 “Then what do you want to do…”

Before Kaili could finish her words, Fang Mo took out a wooden sword from his arms and slapped it on the table: "To strengthen such a major life event, of course you have to use a mat to test the waters first... Go ahead. Strengthen this broken cushion carefully ten times! Don’t let it fail at all!”

 “Oh, that’s it.”

Hearing this, Kelly took the wooden sword with a smile and said, "Hey, handsome boy, couldn't you have just said this earlier?"

　　He is talking with his mouth.

Kelly also tinkered with the stove next to her.

This is a stove that is as tall as a person. It looks quite big. Behind it is a lot of densely packed engines, pipes, and wiring and other messy things. The front end is in the shape of a round can, and the whole thing is It is lead gray and has a groove for inserting the weapon.

Kelly grabbed a few pieces of furnace rock carbon and threw them into the stove.

Not long after, the stove made a loud roar and started to burst into flames.

After that, Kelly stuffed the wooden sword into it, and then the stove made an even more harsh noise, just like the decomposer of IC2 in MC or the crusher of IE. pain.

 Then probably more than ten seconds passed.

The machine gradually became quiet, and Kelly also drew out the wooden sword.

“Look, handsome boy, this weapon has been successfully strengthened.” Kelly handed the wooden sword to Fang Mo and looked at it. At this moment, it was flashing with a faint white fluorescence: “Now it is strengthened by +1, do you want to continue?”

“Didn’t I tell you to strengthen it ten times?”

Fang Mo didn't even look at the wooden sword and said directly: "Can't you understand people?"

 “…haha, okay.”

Kelly didn't say much, and quickly stuffed the weapon into the furnace. After several consecutive operations, the wooden sword was quickly strengthened ten times.

 “Handsome guy, it’s done.”

Kelly put the wooden sword on the table, wiped it with cork and asked: "Is it time to strengthen your weapon next?"

"What are you trying to do! Stop! If you try ten more times, you will fail... Don't try to succeed at all!" Fang Mo said sternly with raised eyebrows, and then he took out an iron sword and threw it on the table: "This is also a mat! "

"I…"

Kelly frowned when she heard this: "You just said it was okay to succeed, but now it is going to fail again. This stove is not under my control. What if it succeeds..."

“You’re just using it to force me, but are you afraid that I’ll lose your money?”

 Fang Mo fiercely took out a few gold ingots.

"Handsome guy wants to strengthen it... Then I'll help you strengthen it, but this stove is not under my control." Kelly took a deep breath, picked up the iron sword with a forced smile, and then turned around and walked over The strengthening furnace started to stir up troubles.

Of course the reinforcement this time did not go very smoothly.

After strengthening it a few times, there were a few strange noises coming from the stove, and then there was just a "stuck" sound. The strengthening failed, and the strengthening level went back directly. After repeated efforts dozens of times, Kelly finally got the iron. The sword has also been strengthened to ten times.

 “This pad...this weapon has also been strengthened.”

 After strengthening the weapon, Kelly couldn't help but turn around and let out a long sigh of relief.

Although the time required for strengthening is not long, this is not a game. Kelly has to throw furnace carbon and small colorless crystals before each strengthening. She goes back and forth for a long time, and these dozens of After finishing the first strengthening, it was almost noon.

As mentioned before, Arad is a reinforcement store called Kelly.

 So even though it’s a trap, there are still many adventurers who come here because of it, hoping to strengthen their equipment.

But at this moment, Fang Mo was sitting in the room with a gloomy face, and Kelly, who was strengthening outside, also had a black look on her face. This made other adventurers afraid to come in, but they didn't want to leave, so He simply stood at the door and waited.

The adventurer waited longer and longer, and in the end a lot of people were gathered here. When other residents saw this, they thought something had happened, and they also came over curiously.

 Seeing these adventurers outside, Kelly quickly returned to the house with an iron sword.

“You should strengthen your own weapons this time, right?”

 After wiping the iron sword with a soft cloth, Kelly also quickly said to Fang Mo. After all, there were many adventurers waiting for her outside, and the work in hand should be faster.

 But what Kelly never expected was.

Fang Mo did not nod, but instead reached out and took out a golden sword from behind.

"Strengthen this golden cartilage for me again... No, strengthen this golden sword for me again." Fang Mo said lightly: "This time, the handle must be strengthened ten times without failure, and the blade must be strengthened ten times without success, otherwise I will I'm going to poke those two swords into you just now and see if it's the stove that's burning you or you that's burning more."

“…You are really playing tricks on me, right?”

After Fang Mo said so, Kelly couldn't help it anymore and put the iron sword on the table with a bang.

 “I didn’t spend any money on making mats? Why don’t you let me make more mats?”

Fang Mo asked directly: "You said it yourself, the strengthening machine may fail. My Mayuling scalpel has been with me for so long, and I don't know how many people have been taken away...I don't know how many people have been cured. Wan Can you afford to lose your heart if you accidentally get it here?"

“It has nothing to do with me if your equipment is broken.”

After being tortured by Fang Mo all morning, Kelly was clearly feeling a little angry at this moment, so she simply stopped acting: "But if you are a man...just put the weapon into the stove and try it, don't do it here, mother-in-law, other things Adventurers are not as ink-stained as you."

“Why don’t you ask me about my weapons yourself.”

Fang Mo simply shrugged: "If it doesn't make any sound, just use it to strengthen it."

 “Then I won’t be polite.”

Kelly was already angry, but now she didn’t care so much. She stretched out her hand and was about to grab the Mayuling chopping knife on the table.

 However, what Kelly didn’t expect was.

The moment she was about to touch the handle of the knife, the knife actually spoke.

 “Kelly, I’m the master of drafting!”

Mayuling's machete, which was lying quietly on the table, shook violently, and then the whole knife quickly retreated a distance, and then a straightforward voice echoed throughout Hetton Mall Street.

“Try to touch your grandpa today!!”
