Xia Chujian looked at Huo Yushen, coughed lightly, and said, "I have one more condition, which is that you have to tell me the real reason why you want this gun."

Huo Yushen smiled faintly and said, "I like this gun, I like its design, I like it so much that I want to collect it, is that not okay?"

Xia Chujian said, "You like this gun and its design, of course, and I'm very happy."

"But I know myself well. Even if this is a gun I designed, I know it's not worth that much money."

"But the fact that you insisted on spending such a huge price to get this gun makes me think that perhaps there are secrets in this gun that even I, the maker, don't know."

"So, if you tell me what the secret is, I can give you the gun for free. Of course, I still have to waive the favor."

Xia Chujian wouldn't be so stupid as to give the gun to Huo Yushen without any conditions.

Huo Yushen thought, not bad, quite alert, and caught the "fuse" he threw out.

The purpose of his doing this, of course, was to make Xia Chujian realize the strangeness of this transaction.

Fortunately, Xia Chujian was not dazzled by the huge wealth and the conditions that made her heart beat.

Huo Yushen looked at her admiringly and activated the shielding program in the aircraft.

He said, "Now, everything here is only heard by the two of us. I hope you know the seriousness of the matter and don't let anyone else know about this."

Xia Chujian said perceptively, "The third person? Who else knows?"

Obviously, she did not consider herself as the second person who knew the truth.

Huo Yushen understood her train of thought very well and said calmly, "Su Buyan, your master."

Xia Chujian understood immediately and became nervous again: "Tell me, what happened to my gun?! I really built it according to the school's requirements!"

Huo Yushen displayed a set of performance comparison data sent to him by Su Buyan on his virtual display screen.

He said, "When Su Buyan was testing your gun, he separated a very small amount of an unknown substance from it."

"When he added this trace material to the Destroyer No. 1 gun material, he created the second-generation Destroyer model sniper rifle."

Xia Chujian's eyes widened: "...What?! Are you sure it's an unknown substance separated from my gun?!"

Huo Yushen nodded: "Su Buyan's testing environment is first-class, and you can absolutely trust his judgment."

"The Destroyer sniper rifle has been around for fifty years, and its performance remains unchanged."

"But this time, the performance has doubled, reaching the standard of the second generation."

Xia Chujian listened in a daze, thinking about the various procedures he had used to synthesize the materials. He wondered, "...But I didn't add any other materials..."

"They are all the lowest-grade materials provided by the school-run arsenal."

She had even thought about whether she should secretly put in a little bit of the exotic metal that Qi Lu had stored in her Shao Siming black and silver mecha.

But then I felt it was boring. Isn’t this cheating?

She doesn't need to do this to get first place.

So she didn't let Qilu take action.

From design drawings, to synthesizing materials, to making molds, and finally casting the parts.

She personally took care of every step.

When she got such results, she was even happier than when she broke the record in the online game class!

Therefore, Xia Chujian continued: "...Also, you can go and watch the surveillance video of the arsenal."

"Because this is all counted in the scoring, every minute we work in the Arsenal is monitored in real time."

Huo Yushen said: "I checked and confirmed that you didn't add any other ingredients, but..."

As soon as Huo Yushen said "but", Xia Chujian felt something was wrong and sat up straight involuntarily.

Huo Yushen said, "...But, Su Buyan noticed from your work video that when you melted the synthetic material and poured it into the mold, your gloves weren't worn properly, causing your fingers to come into contact with the mold. As a result, a little bit of your skin tissue became fused with the synthetic material..."

Xia Chujian understood immediately and said, "Absurd! Even if I accidentally scratched a little skin on my hand and it fell into the mold, how can this prove that the new material discovered by Master Su is related to my skin?"

Huo Yushen said: "Yes, it cannot be proven. So once others know about it, they will ask you to prove it..."

Xia Chujian was so frightened that the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.

Because she believed what Huo Yushen said was very likely to come true...

Her expression turned cold. "So? What are you going to do with my gun? You might as well just lock me up, cut me into pieces today, cut me into pieces tomorrow, and use me to test new materials!"

Huo Yushen didn't say anything, just looked at her silently, waiting for her to calm down.

Sure enough, Xia Chujian just spoke without thinking out of extreme fear.

After she finished speaking, she realized that she had wronged Huo Yushen.

If Huo Yushen really wanted to do this, there was no need for him to flatter her.

Xia Chujian took a deep breath, lowered his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Huo Shuai, I was too impulsive."

Seeing her admit her mistake, Huo Yushen nodded and said, "Well, it's not your fault. If this happened to me, I'd probably react even more than you."

Although Xia Chujian felt that Huo Yushen would definitely not react more strongly than her, his way of comforting her was quite effective.

After all, the target she wants to catch up with is Huo Yushen.

Knowing that her target has the same weaknesses as herself, this comfort can make her calm.
