Chapter 330 - Overlord Suppresses Mount Hua
Baili Gucheng clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, but he needed to take this chunk of Deep Sea Profound Iron with him no matter what. If lifting this chunk was all he needed to do, then he was all too ready.
Baili Gucheng stretched out his arms, opened his palms, and grasped the bundle with both hands.
It was only at this moment that he realized the bundle was wrapped in leather woven from the hide of some unknown beast. It was remarkably tough, likely chosen to compliment the absurdly heavy strange iron.
Baili Gucheng focused his breath and calmed his mind, thinking no further. With a loud "Ha!", his arm muscles tensed instantly, and veins on his forehead throbbed!
The bundle weighed no less than two hundred jin. Baili Gucheng’s face flushed red, but he finally managed to lift it slowly. However, it was uncertain how far he could actually go if he were to carry it on his back and walk away.
Standing by the door, Xue Qiming clapped his hands in delight, clearly enjoying watching Baili Gucheng struggle.
"Amazing! I'm a man of my word. This lump of iron is yours. Take it away."
Baili Gucheng deflated instantly, letting the bundle drop back to the ground. He gave a wry smile and said, "Brother, you don't need to make fun of me. I'm afraid I can't take this with me after all."
Xue Qiming grinned. "As long as you can lift it, it's yours. Don't worry—I have an idea for you." With that, he turned and went into the courtyard.
Before long, Xue Qiming came back out, pushing a wooden wheelbarrow.
"Use this."
Xue Qiming pushed the wheelbarrow before Baili Gucheng's feet.
