Li Younan's gaze shifted to the steel materials in the corner and he asked, "Sir, I would like to borrow your blacksmith shop for half a day to forge a hunting knife for myself."
The older man jumped up immediately, his tone slightly annoyed, "Young man, do you know what a blacksmith shop means to a swordsmith? It's like a kitchen to a chef, like a boat to a fisherman, like..."
Li Younan listened with some impatience. The older man, who didn't seem highly educated, was rattling off parallelisms as if preparing for a comedy skit.
He directly pulled out 200 US Dollars from his pocket.
The older man's words came to an abrupt halt, and he coughed, "Half a day? Half a day it is..."
...
No time to waste.
The sword forging was about to begin.
Li Younan set up the camera in position.
This was a good content point, and naturally, Li Younan wanted to record the whole process and make it into a video, which would gain high traction on international platforms when posted.
