It’s better to build the mechanisms around the Ji family as soon as possible, so that next time we encounter the barbarians, we will have the power to fight back.

In the evening, Ji Changying looked at the two boxes of soil. The leaves of the transplanted seedlings had wilted and began to turn yellow and wither.

This happened despite having enough soil, nutrients and water.

It seems that the seedlings are not able to adapt to the sudden change in environment and temperature.

The potato buds that had been cut into small pieces and dried in the shade had begun to sprout. Ji Changying planted them and waited for the results.

Before the time to set off, Ren Dongnan, who had disappeared for a few days, appeared.

He held something up and handed it over: "Here you go."

Ji Changying's eyes lit up and he reached out to take it.

This thing is a bit heavy...

Ji Changying shook the iron whip in his hand. It must weigh at least a hundred pounds.

Ren Dongnan handed the thing to her and put his hands behind his back. He opened and clenched his palms several times before relaxing his arms a little.

The whip is very finely made. Except for the handle, the entire whip body is made of triangular iron buckles that are linked together.

She shook her wrist tentatively, and each iron buckle snapped together, turning the entire whip into an iron rod.

Ji Changying was very surprised: "Did you ask someone to do this specifically?"

Ren Dongnan could tell from her tone that she really liked it, and he was very satisfied. "It's not like I was specifically looking for someone to beat me, but it's just a side effect. There's a ring on the handle. If you pull it, it becomes a whip, and if you pull it again, it becomes an iron rod."

Ji Changying tried it and found that it was true.

"What is the name of this weapon?" Ji Changying asked him excitedly.

"Chains."
