Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
After leaving Ye Feng's tent, Luo Lin walked quickly toward Luo Qing.
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
The steel produced by Steel Plant No. 1 has been used in all aspects of Xinluo City.
Elsewhere, steel is very valuable; a suit of armor made of fine steel can be worth several hundred taels of silver.
But in Silla City, steel had become completely worthless.
Increased production is enough to lower steel prices. Moreover, in Xinluo City, ordinary currencies, such as copper coins, silver, gold, and even spirit stones, have basically lost their meaning.
Because the common people's food and lodging are all provided by Yefeng, and all the necessities of life are provided, they only need to work.
Therefore, Nightwind has not calculated their salaries yet, and they have completely ignored this point.
"It seems we need to develop a new type of currency. Using silver and gold for settlement is just too cumbersome," Night Wind muttered to himself.
Suddenly, the maid Luo Xiaotong came running in.
"Grandpa, Miss and Madam are looking for you!" Luo Xiaotong said quickly.
"Are they there?" Night Wind asked.
For some reason, seeing Luo Xiaotong, this slightly confused little girl, made Ye Feng feel cheerful.
"I forgot!" Luo Xiaotong shouted.
"How could you forget that?" Zijing stared wide-eyed at Luo Xiaotong.
Ye Feng then raised his hand and sent out a communication talisman, then grabbed Zijing and moved her directly out of the tent.
The hilly area west of Silla City.
Several guards stood here, and Jiang Wei was also here.
In front of Luo Qing was a large box containing cylindrical objects.
This cylindrical object has a metal shell made of steel with many diamond patterns on it, and there is a switch on the top.
As can be seen from the structure of this switch, it is normally locked and the pin on the switch must be popped out before it can be turned on.
"Why hasn't the Ancestor arrived yet?" Luo Qing asked.
"Be patient, the Ancestor will definitely arrive here soon, and he's very busy too." Luo Lin glared at Luo Qing.
Just then, the air not far away distorted and fluctuated, and the next moment, Ye Feng stepped out from it, carrying Zi Jing.
"The Ancestor has arrived!" Luo Qing shouted.
Seeing Luo Qing's reckless behavior, Luo Lin felt quite helpless.
"You're supposed to be the young lady of our family, can't you be a little more mindful of your image?" Rowling snapped angrily.
Luo Qing chuckled and ran towards Ye Feng, lifting her skirt.
"Ancestor, my aunt and I have made what you asked for!" Luo Qing said.
"Really? Where is it? Let me see," Night Wind asked.
“Ancestor, come with me.”
As Luo Qing spoke, she grabbed Ye Feng's hand and pulled him toward the large box.
Upon arriving, Ye Feng noticed the dozen or so cylindrical metal objects inside the large box.
These cylindrical metal objects are not very large; they can be held in one hand.
Needless to say, these cylindrical metal objects are explosive weapons created by Luo Qing and Luo Lin together, with artificial spirit stones at their core.
Ye Feng took one out and weighed it in his hand. He found that it was not heavy at all, less than half a pound. Three of these things would probably just make up a pound.
Its small size and light weight mean it is easy to carry.
So even before testing it, Ye Feng was already satisfied from the bottom of his heart.
"Ancestor, see this pin on top? First, pop the pin out, then press the switch on top. This thing will explode in five seconds," Luo Qing chattered on.
Ye Feng then followed Luo Qing's instructions and pressed down on the latch with his thumb.
The latch has a spring, so when Ye Feng pressed it hard, he heard a crisp snap and the latch was launched out.
"Can I just press the switch now?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes." Luo Qing nodded repeatedly.
So Ye Feng pressed the switch again, and a slight clicking sound immediately came from inside the thing, like the sound of the second hand of a mechanical clock turning.
"It'll explode in just five seconds, Ancestor, hurry and throw it away!" Luo Qing said urgently.
"Throw it there!"
Rowling pointed to a spot several dozen meters away.
On a mound about fifty or sixty meters away, there were several straw-made dummies, and around them were several wild boars tied up with hemp rope.
Without a doubt, those mannequins and wild boars were experimental subjects.
Without further hesitation, Ye Feng threw the new weapon in his hand toward that direction.
So the thing drew a beautiful parabola in the air and landed very precisely on the mound, right in the middle of the straw man and the wild boar.
The next second, flames burst forth.
Boom!
The sound of the explosion came from there, making Zijing's scalp tingle.
Jiang Wei and the others also widened their eyes, revealing expressions of disbelief.
"Ancestor, what do you think?" Luo Qing asked smugly.
"Very impressive!" Ye Feng said with a smile.
That explosion was quite a sight to behold.
Art is truly explosive!
"Let's go take a look," Ye Feng said with a smile.
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, he took a step forward and reappeared on that small mound.
Zijing transformed into a black shadow and chased after Yefeng.
Compared to Zijing, Luo Qing and Luo Lin were much slower, and Jiang Wei and the guards were naturally even slower.
Moreover, not all the guards came along; two guards remained there, after all, there were still more than a dozen new weapons in that large box, and these things were extremely powerful and could not be lost.
Night Wind bent down to examine everything, only to find that the dummies had been blown to pieces.
All the wild boars died; none survived.
Most importantly, the wild boar carcasses had many wounds, from which bright red blood was gushing out.
These wounds were definitely not caused by the blast wave and shockwave of the explosion, but by some kind of sharp metal fragment.
Night Wind raised his right hand and grabbed, and the carcass of a wild boar immediately rotted open, revealing several deformed metal fragments.
These metal fragments were roughly rhomboid in shape, about two millimeters thick, and had sharp edges.
Night Wind immediately connected these metal fragments with the metal casing of the new weapon.
The cylindrical metal shell has a diamond pattern on it. Obviously, this is not for aesthetic purposes. After the artificial spirit stone explodes, the metal shell will break along the diamond pattern. As a result, the metal shell will form sharp diamond-shaped metal fragments in the explosion, which will fly in all directions.
