It is a material that should not exist here; it is an existence beyond its specifications!
"A billion! If it's your craftsmanship, I'd be willing to pay double that amount."
Eugene looked around the dazzling array of equipment in Chun's collection room, a smile on his face.
"But we're already so close, do you think it's appropriate to argue about such trivial gains and losses?"
Chun felt uneasy under his question. Although she was sharp-tongued, she actually knew the truth in her heart.
The supply of those rare materials is of far greater practical significance than all the old works in the collection.
These creations, which are already fixed and defined, are outdated and will never become better no matter how carefully they are nurtured.
But what Eugene brought to Tsubaki was material that could potentially lead to the future.
That was a treasure that only he could bring and only she could digest.
For the world, even the best materials are worthless if they are not processed; they are merely valuable but meaningless.
But in Chun's eyes, the significance of these materials far outweighs any so-called level one weapon or indestructible equipment!
Adamantite, magic gems, the hard leather of a black giant, the super-tough scales of a carnivorous plant, the liver of a black water dragon...
Each and every piece is a masterpiece.
According to Eugene, the process of obtaining them was also extremely arduous.
These are things that cannot be measured by price or contract.
He even admired a magical artifact.
Furthermore, when he was being corrupted by the power contained within the artifact, it was Eugene who intervened, dispelling the raging storm and calming the angry shadow of the giant.
These things cannot be counted in monetary terms.
And, on that day, Eugene showed her that unparalleled, magnificent mountain.
For the first time in a thousand years, a vision that even the gods had to surpass resounded in the ears of mortals.
The Undying Demon Sword—how can such an absurd yet incredibly grand plan, such a wildly imaginative and infinitely arrogant idea, be measured by price?
Chun, her heart pounding with panic and her eyes darting away, had already realized what was happening.
She is the one who owes debts she cannot repay.
Without Eugene, she would never have reached the realm of the gods, nor would she have been able to so profoundly admire the divine artifacts.
He will be forever overshadowed by Crozier's immense shadow.
Even without Eugene, she would still be outstanding.
However, she could not become the protagonist.
"What, are you regretting what I said?"
Eugene approached the bewildered master step by step with a wicked grin.
His expression and demeanor were extremely aggressive, and with each step he took forward, he forced Chun to retreat.
She felt as if the air in front of her had been swallowed up by this guy.
Even if this room is big, where can she hide?
With a jolt in his ankle, Chun scrambled backward and fell to the ground in a flustered manner.
The fact that a dignified level 5 one-eyed master could be driven to such a loss of composure by a young man is enough to terrify anyone who sees it.
But Chun did indeed lose her self-control.
She slumped into her recliner, watching helplessly as the man stood before her.
In his eyes, the desire for something was particularly evident.
Ah, is that so...?
Chun then realized that she had already fallen into a trap from the very beginning.
This person is incredibly greedy.
Whether it's money, treasures, or women, he'll take them all.
"You guessed it right."
Eugene's voice was very soft. He leaned down and his breath hit Chun's forehead.
"To me, the treasures in this room are not just boring swords and knives."
!!!
Chun's pupils trembled.
Her cheeks flushed a captivating red, as if infused with fine wine.
In Chun's life, there were people who confessed their feelings to her.
But compared to the sparks in their hands, they clearly failed to capture Tsubaki's interest.
But this person is different.
He knew what Chun wanted most, and he also knew what Chun hoped to achieve most.
He has a crazy desire, and he can also pull Chun into his scheme.
From the initial surprise and novelty to the awe-inspiring power of the immortal demon sword and divine artifact, these complex emotions intertwined and intensified.
Until now.
Chun then realized that she was already deeply trapped and could not escape.
"Miss Tsubaki, has no one ever told you that you look beautiful when the firelight shines on you?"
Eugene's sweet words made Chun so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear. How could she, a one-eyed woman, who didn't even dress properly, be considered beautiful?!
"No, no, no!!"
Chun shook her head repeatedly, but Eugene didn't care at all.
"So, has anyone ever told you that you look beautiful when you pick up those pretty weapons, with a smile on your lips and focused eyes?"
No!
Chun was utterly defeated and had nowhere to defend herself.
She covered her eyes, unable to look at Eugene's face.
Doesn't this person feel even a little bit ashamed?!
"That's a real shame."
Eugene's voice suddenly turned serious.
This sudden change also made Chun unable to help but reveal a glint in her eyes.
She watched him secretly, his expression solemn and incongruous with his usual demeanor.
Is he... angry?
"It's a real shame that so many people in this world have the wrong perspective."
"Fortunately, I was the first person to see the truth."
Eugene took a light breath: "Miss Tsubaki."
"If, as you say, no one has ever praised you, then I can be sure that no one in this world has ever truly understood you."
"Huh?" Chun was completely bewildered.
Her straight-girl spirit suddenly kicked in.
No, sis? I've always had a great working relationship with Finn and the others.
But Eugene's real intentions were not what they seemed; he launched a flanking attack, followed by a barrage of witty remarks.
This is what they mean by setting aside the facts and talking about sentiment!
“Miss Chun, I believe that there should be two most beautiful moments in your life.”
"Firstly, it's when you're immersed in your favorite world, fully focused on 403, and sweating it out."
"Secondly, it's when you've poured your heart and soul into forging and completing your work, and you admire it with immense pride."
"At these two moments, you connect with your ideals and rejoice in your efforts."
"No matter how you try to explain it, you were at your most beautiful then."
"But they all focused on the burning materials and the finished equipment; not one of them truly saw your beauty."
"Therefore, I regret it, but I am also fortunate about it."
"Because I am the first person to see such a beautiful moment of you."
Chun was stunned.
Her mind was completely blank at that moment; the calm and focused mind she had been maintaining while forging was now stuck together, unable to move.
And the culprit behind all of this is Eugene.
His words were so gentle and warm, carrying an irresistible heat that penetrated into Chun's heart.
This was the first time Chun had ever felt such fervor.
She could hear her own heart pounding, urging her to respond to the man's affection.
However, in such a long life, opening one's heart to the opposite sex for the first time is easier said than done.
Therefore, with Tsubaki in such a wavering state, Eugene immediately activated his ultimate move.
"You don't need to take my words to heart. After all, as I said, you are beautiful as you are. I'm just the lucky one who had the right eyes."
"Now that things have come to this, I can say this as many times as I want."
Eugene smiled charmingly, his eyes sparkling with a bewitching light, like stardust stirring the heartstrings of Tsubaki.
Even away from the blazing fire, even surrounded by countless gleaming swords, you are still the most beautiful one among them.
With a price difference of 206, you're already mine!
Even if they weren't forging those precious materials.
