"........"
Lin Hao's eyes widened, clearly shocked by the appearance of Master Fox.
Lin Ying was also somewhat surprised, seemingly finding it strange that Master Fox knew Lin Hao.
Master Fox, the amusement park owner... how could the two possibly be connected?
[Where's the cargo I requested?]
Ansheng looked bizarre, glancing at Lin Hao who was obviously waiting there to greet Lin Ying. After taking another look at Lin Ying, he typed a line on his phone and showed it to Lin Hao.
Apparently, Sister Lin Fu misunderstood something, thinking he wanted a foot massage. Through personal connections, she booked a private room at Lin Hao's clubhouse, and Lin Hao was deliberately waiting here to welcome her arrival.
"It's... it's on the car."
Seeing Master Fox writing something, Lin Hao, with a slightly aggrieved expression, came back to his senses, then looked at Lin Dong and pointed into the parking lot. He wasn't at all surprised that Master Fox could read and write; their family's Granny Hedgehog communicated with the Hao Village people through writing before that loudspeaker was invented.
Granny Hedgehog not only knew simplified and traditional characters but also had a solid foundation in Russian and could tell old Soviet jokes.
Therefore, even if Master Fox liked to tell American hell jokes, Lin Hao wouldn't find it surprising either.
After Master Fox raised the phone, the scene maintained silent and still.
Lin Hao led the image post subordinates to a corner of the parking lot to a truck. The little brother beside him skillfully ran to the tool box of the truck, taking out a hydraulic plier and handing it to Lin Hao.
The truck container was locked after being sealed to prevent any unforeseen incidents, and it didn't come equipped with keys.
Granny Hedgehog did things carefully because she wasn't sure what exactly Master Fox intended to do with the item.
But due to Master Fox's oppressive power, Granny Hedgehog chose to procure weapons from Treasure Island, and through tax-free channels sent them to the Xia Dong region. Even if Master Fox went on a rampage with an iron hammer on the streets, it couldn't be traced back to her.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
Lin Hao, wearing gloves, picked up the hydraulic pliers, instinctively wiped them all over before clipping the chains securing the truck container, opening what had been kept sealed.
The nearly seven-meter-long container was opened, releasing a rich pinewood scent from within. In the dim, empty container lay a pallet attached to a series of canvas ropes tied to a rectangular object, tightened and locked with hooks, firmly secured in the container.
"......."
Seeing the sledgehammer inside the container, a subtle glint flashed across Lin Hao's eyes. He slowly turned around, looking at Master Fox being held by Lin Dong in a child-like embrace, and said:
"For the method of welding steel pipes to serve as the handle of the safe, we couldn't guarantee the material quality. Hence, Granny ordered a shock-absorbing hammer for Master Fox."
"Its overall weight reaches 1.2 tons, equivalent to the safe you once used."
"1.2 tons?"
Lin Ying showed no unusual expression. After all, she had witnessed Master Fox throwing the prehistoric crocodile against a dam like a gecko; however, Lin Shu and Lin Bingyun, upon realizing the details of this transaction, were evidently shocked.
Especially the newly arrived Lin Bingyun, this elegant and intellectual old butler almost dropped her jaw.
"Whee, whee..."
Ansheng jumped from Lin Ying's arms, standing upright on top of the truck, raising its little fox paw and pulling hard on the canvas ropes, snapping each strand restraining the hammer during transport.
Ansheng went to the back of the hammer, gently grasping the long handle that was clearly adjusted for its form.
"Creak——"
Ansheng gripped the hammer handle with force, causing a crisp noise from the truck's suspension, gradually bouncing up and down.
"Clang, clang, clang——"
As the hammer swung, a resonating sound from metal pellets inside was gradually heard.
The shock-absorbing hammer's characteristic was the internal cavity holding a multitude of steel balls. When the user swung it outward, these balls moved with inertia, offsetting recoil to prevent the occurrence of rebound.
Using this 1.2-ton shock-absorbing hammer on someone, what a miraculous experience it must be; no one had tried, but from a mechanics standpoint, the design was very reasonable.
"Whee, whee, whee——"
Ansheng lifted the hammer to try its grip, then waved to the people outside the container, signaling them to step aside to avoid colliding upon his exit.
After all...
A 1.2-ton thing hitting you is quite painful, and could leave bruises.
Ansheng, holding his big hammer, manifested his three-tailed form, hoisting the large iron hammer high and lightly landing from the truck.
Illuminated by moonlight, standing upright, the little fox of no more than eighty centimeters with its three tails swaying, holding a hammer that was 1.8 meters long and 0.7 meters wide, created an intensely impactful image.
"Huff, huff, huff——"
Ansheng walked a bit further away, attempting to swing the shock-absorbing hammer, testing the grip's strength.
Of course, as he wasn't here for a vendetta this time, Ansheng carefully managed his destructive power, avoiding damaging the parking lot which had just been repaired not long ago.
After testing the grip strength, a smile involuntarily spread across the little fox's mouth.
Large blunt objects are so fun!
Master Fox specifically deals with thick-skinned spirit beasts.
Don't speak, wait for me to give you a hammer.
"Bang" sounded, alright, let's see who's the big boss, and territory master. You can now speak freely to reason with me, Master Fox.
However.
As Master Fox imagined himself, hammering [Wish Power +3], and treating the big hammer as a scythe, his wish list suddenly moved.
[Awww? Awooo?—During his ocean sprint encounters, White saw a strange large flyer. As he approached to inspect and rob, someone on the ship suddenly raised a rocket-like long-tubed weapon; White's mouth and tail, and fur got glued. White, in utter shock, appealed to Master Fox for help.]
[Wish accomplished: Fox Brother, save me!]
Ansheng saw the wish list flashing, clicked on the message to view. At a glance, he nearly bulged his eyes out:
"Stuck... chemical adhesive weapon? Damn! Did White attempt to rob the regular army?"
"No way! Would regular army use a large flyer? The sea police repaint a flyer and then it's classified as regular army?"
"What did White bump into?"
Upon seeing the details in the wish list, Ansheng clearly realized something was off, at least, the people White encountered with the flyer weren't part of any regular army.
But they possessed a deep knowledge of spirit beasts and carried technological weapons to deal with them.
"Whee! Whee! Whee!"
Ansheng toss the big iron hammer back into the container, took a deep breath, and opened his mouth to Hai Linglong, letting out a clear whee:
"Come doggo! Deliver Fox Brother's command, let the golden lion notify the Orca Family!"
"Everyone's rebelling, applying adhesive on our White!"
"Once found, let the dolphin inform me!"
The little fox jumped atop the truck, lifting its head towards the moon letting out a loud fox cry.
"Huh?"
Granny Hedgehog, originally soaking in a bath and grooming in the top floor pavilion, heard the fox's call and the content of Master Fox's words, instantly feeling a headache.
"The little ones nowadays are so annoying, every day brimming with vitality and aggression, fighting all the time..."
"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"
Granny Hedgehog stood in the bath, spreading her arms, signaling the three maids alongside to come over, help dry the water on her body, she wouldn't soak anymore.
Compared to her most beloved bathing activities...
Granny Hedgehog was evidently more concerned about what kind of mischief that smelly fox will stir up.
