Upon leaving the divine realm, Zhao Lun was holding a tray.
On the tray lay a pristine white teapot and five matching teacups.
On the training ground, the ladies, having exercised for several hours, were now sweaty and holding towels, preparing to rest.
"Would you like some tea?"
Zhao Lun brought the tea over.
"Ah, brother, give Maria a cup!"
Maria's eyes lit up as she dropped the towel and rushed over.
"Boss, one for me too!"
"Me as well."
"One cup won't be enough, I need to drink until I'm satisfied!"
Zhao Lun strongly supported their training, always bringing a pot of divine spring water tea to refresh them when they reached their limits.
The tea was fragrant, not only easing their fatigue but also improving their health, making them stronger and more beautiful.
A week had passed, and they all felt that their physical condition had surpassed even the elite soldiers in the military. If they were to compete in a long-distance race, all three were confident they could beat them.
After physical training, they proceeded to combat training.
With Zhao Lun's powerful support, their combat skills had grown immensely.
Now, they were so strong they could easily overpower any ordinary person. Although they hadn't been to the battlefield, they were already qualified warriors.
Next, they began shooting training.
The focus was on firearms, but they were also provided with bows, crossbows, and various cold weapons as supplements.
These cold weapons mainly consisted of sharp blades, with knives being the most common due to their ease of handling.
In a corner, there were some other harder-to-master cold weapons, which the ladies only needed to familiarize themselves with. If they were interested in learning, Mulan, a master chef with an innate talent for cold weapons, would offer her help.
In the evening, in the living room, a long table displayed an array of weapons, resembling exquisite works of art—swords, long knives, machetes, short swords, daggers, axes, sickles, ropes, whips, and Chinese guns and halberds.
These weapons varied greatly, their blades as cold and sharp as a deep, clear spring. The axes and halberds were visually striking.
The quality and design of these weapons were exceptionally refined. Even if they didn't have a particular preference for a weapon, they would still admire its beauty.
On another table were many finely crafted firearms.
These weapons were as crystal-clear as black crystal steel, and one could immediately tell that both the cold weapons and firearms came from the same source. Upon closer inspection, they revealed a common symbol—an elegant seal.
The design of these seals was so clever that it made each weapon even more aesthetically pleasing.
Maria and the others couldn't take their eyes off the items on the table.
Women loved things that glittered, and these weapons, though shiny and beautiful, were also captivating, making them all fond of them.
Even if they weren't used, these weapons would make excellent collector's pieces or decorations.
Everyone's gaze turned to Zhao Lun.
"You may each choose two weapons."
These weapons were prepared for them, so Zhao Lun wasted no time and let them pick.
The ladies were not shy. They eagerly grabbed the weapons they had been eyeing and held them in their hands, admiring them with a look of deep affection.
"These knives are very sharp, be careful not to hurt yourselves."
"Maria, your weapon is over here."
Zhao Lun called out to Maria, who was trying to stretch and reach for a weapon on the table.
The petite girl had some difficulty reaching it.
Zhao Lun guided her to a small table nearby, where a golden-red box lay. It looked elegant and grand.
It was obvious that the box had been carefully crafted, and its value was comparable to that of any piece of fine art.
Maria eagerly looked at him, her big eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Is this mine?"
This box was also designed by Zhao Lun, its mechanism inspired by the puzzle on a divine treasure chest.
The image on it was simple and could be set repeatedly like a password. Without a reference, opening the box would be a considerable challenge for Maria.
"Open it and see."
Zhao Lun nodded, winking at her to open the box.
"Thank you, brother!"
Maria thanked Zhao Lun and eagerly opened the box. The initial image was simple, and it had already been completed. She just had to press the final part of the image for the box to open.
Inside, there was a velvet lining, with four weapons carefully arranged—two beautiful scabbarded swords, one large and one small, and two exquisite, compact pistols.
The scabbards were golden-red, inlaid with lovely violet gemstones.
The pistols were slender, lightweight, with ample range and magazine capacity, with only minimal recoil. They were comfortable to hold.
They also had holsters and clips.
"They're so beautiful!"
"Maria loves them!"
"Brother is the best!"
Maria happily embraced the weapons Zhao Lun had given her, standing on tiptoe to kiss him, unwilling to leave his side.
Her weapons were all custom-made, perfectly suited to Maria.
"Maria, let me take a look at your weapons."
"They have gemstones on them, they're so beautiful."
"Really, they're perfect for Maria."
After choosing their own weapons, Nicole and the others came over to admire Maria's.
Same materials, same craftsmanship, but with a more delicate design, adorned with gemstones, making them look more like decorative art pieces.
In truth, they were weapons, just made to be more beautiful, and such beautiful things often caused one to overlook their danger.
"Alright, don't underestimate these weapons."
"These weapons can threaten wizards and are capable of slaying terrifying creatures."
"They are sturdy and will ensure your safety."
Zhao Lun activated a projection, displaying even more weapons—varied and dazzling.
Nicole and the others saw not only a kitchen knife but also bottles marked with perfume logos, various medicines, and new types of transportation and small items.
"Do you see these?"
"These will be stored in the Bounty Guild's warehouse as rewards for hunters."
The Bounty Guild would undoubtedly gather many powerful individuals. As a powerful person, one needed not only wealth but also a reliable weapon. These weapons, like sweet bait, would attract many people.
Perfume hunters could use them or exchange them for money. Medicines, being life-saving, were irresistible to almost anyone.
There were also energizing tea drinks among the many good things.
"Oh, and Zhi Jie, here's a set of kitchen knives, take them to Mulan."
"As a token of gratitude for her."
Zhao Lun handed Angela a rectangular, antique-style box from beside him.
Mulan had been here for a while, not only preparing delicious meals every day but also helping them train in combat. She deserved to be rewarded.
