Han Li, who had returned to his original appearance, and Lou Gao, who was grinning from ear to ear, walked down the open stairs side by side, while Zhu Zhuqing followed silently behind them.

"Don't worry, brother. I will make it for you as quickly as possible. After I finish this, I will immediately start studying the ideas you mentioned. Oh, what a pity! I wish I had met you earlier. I have wasted so many years. I hate it."

When Lou Gao said this, he meant it sincerely. After listening to Han Li's thoughts, he just felt that they had met too late.

"Good things are worth waiting for. You are still in your prime, so you have plenty of time."

Han Li took the initiative to comfort her, and he meant it sincerely.

Such a good tool, even if the man is about to die, he wants to help him prolong his life.

This time, he had specifically instructed that soul beasts could be used for blood sacrifices, and that body sacrifices were not allowed.

What the hell is this? A weapon without a soul, not even a soul guide. Is it worthy of costing someone’s life?

He wanted this thing to have other uses. If we really want to talk about attack power, wouldn't it be more powerful if he used his martial spirit to shoot an arrow? Seeing that the two of them had only chatted for more than an hour and were already brothers, Silong rubbed his eyes in disbelief. When did the teacher become so easy to deal with? On the side, the head of the Chamber of Commerce closed his eyes and bowed his head, as if he hadn't seen anything.

"Okay, brother, you're busy. I have urgent matters to deal with, so I really can't stay any longer. Once the things are ready, just give them to me through the Chamber of Commerce channel."

Han Li pointed at the head of the Chamber of Commerce on the side.

"Okay, then I won't send you off. To be honest with you, I'm a little itchy right now."

Lou Gao laughed loudly, not trying to hide his thoughts at all.

"Brother is a real person. It seems that success is only a matter of time."

Han Li gave him a thumbs up, praising the tool man's enthusiasm.

Lou Gao was even happier. He glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, then turned his head to look at his apprentice:

"Oh, right, Silong, go get those two pieces of Eight Treasures Ruyi Soft Armor and give them to my brother and..."

"Sister-in-law."

Han Li replied with a smile.

"Yes, for my brother and sister-in-law."

Lou Gao continued with his words, but was wondering in his heart which family this lady was from.

"teacher……"

Silong stood there hesitantly, but was glared back by Lou Gao.

You idiot, you know nothing. In other situations, even if you want to give something to others, they may not be willing to accept it. They are still afraid of accepting favors.

Seeing that the teacher was angry, Silong immediately went to get the armor in dejection.

"Don't worry about it, brother. He is short-sighted and not worthy of being on the stage."

Lou Gao saw him leave and tried to make up for it.

"It doesn't matter. After all, it's my brother's hard work. If it were me, I would feel bad too."

Han Li answered with a smile. He really understood this. He even felt that Lou Gao was a little too generous.

In the world of Douluo where defense basically depends on physical strength and defensive soul skills, close-fitting soft armor that can withstand damage below level 60 is not much less valuable than soul bones, and may even be higher.

Because soft armor does not require the consumption of one's own soul power, it is equivalent to having a ten-thousand-year-level defensive soul skill that is solidified on the body. This is quite amazing, and it is also the reason why the status of the master craftsman is quite good.

Of course, most of this fame comes from Lou Gao. As for Tang Hao and Titan, they only have names but no works have been published.

Han Li was somewhat suspicious as to whether the Blacksmith Association gave these two guys a rating simply because the Haotian Sect was so powerful at the time and they wanted to use the name to ask.

Of course, I can't ask Lou Gao about this, but I can ask Tang Hao when I meet him in the future. I hope he won't get angry out of embarrassment.

Since others gave him gifts, Han Li naturally had to return the favor.

After taking a look at the Chamber of Commerce's head, Han Li lowered his head, looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, like an old monk in meditation. He put away his smile and looked at Lou Gao.

"Remember to keep your oath, those who violate it will be purified."

This time, he mobilized his mental power and sent this sentence deeply into Lou Gao's mind.

Lou Gao was a little confused and looked at Han Li with some doubt, but found that the smile on his face had returned to normal, but those words were still echoing in his mind.

He was not prepared to breach the contract, and he could not afford to offend the Spirit Hall.

He was about to ask when Silong came back with two boxes in his arms.

"teacher."

"Give the things to my brother."

Lou Gao's thoughts were interrupted and he pointed in Han Li's direction.

Han Li took it casually and handed the box to Zhu Zhuqing beside him. He did not open it to look at it, nor did he put it away directly. This was out of courtesy.

"Okay, brother, I'll take the stuff. If you have any follow-up questions, just communicate through the Chamber of Commerce. I won't disturb your interest. Inspiration is fleeting."

Han Li pointed to the stairs.

"Okay, see you later then."

Lou Gao cupped his hands and looked at Silong, "Send my brother back."

"Also, forget it. I'll go pick the ore myself. Don't bother me recently unless it's news about my brother."

After saying that, Lou Gao quickly rushed up the stairs. He had been patient for a long time.

Silong scratched his head and quickly followed.

I don't understand what's going on, but it's correct to follow what the teacher says.

On the fifth floor, Gao, who was already looking at the drawings, was just getting interested when Han Li's words just now echoed in his mind again. He couldn't help but shiver and almost tore up the drawings.

What the hell, how come there is an echo?

He unconsciously reviewed the contents of the oath in his mind. He always felt that it was a bit weird, so he had better be careful.

After sending Silong and the person in charge away, Han Li and Zhu Zhuqing returned to the room.

"Open it and take a look. Inside is a piece of soft armor for you. Try it on to see if it fits you well before you leave. If it doesn't fit, it will be easy to adjust it."

"Besides, your fighting style tends to be close combat. It can resist attacks below level 60, and is also safer."

Watching Zhu Zhuqing put the box on the table, Han Li pushed it in front of her.

It’s hard to say, but after Han Li finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing was even more reluctant to extend her hand.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

She looked at Han Li seriously and said, "Give it to Lingling. She needs it more than I do."

After staring at her somewhat childish face for a long time, until she could no longer bear it and turned her head away, Han Li smiled and said:

"No, this is your gift, just accept it. As for Lingling, if you don't mind, you can modify the men's suit and give it to her. What do you think?"

"After all, the defense of soft armor is indeed a bit low for me."

After hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

"Okay, open them all. This is the first time I've seen this kind of soft armor."

Han Li pulled one of the boxes in front of him and opened it, while Zhu Zhuqing also opened the other box.

One blue and one white, they look quite exquisite.

Han Li reached out and picked it up, stretching it with force. The soft armor was stretched a long way due to his strength, but when he let go, it returned to its original shape.

"It looks like there's no need to change it. The flexibility is sufficient."

Han Li glanced at Zhu Zhuqing who was doing the same thing and said casually.

Afterwards, he controlled the intensity and tested its defensive effects against elements, energy and sharp weapons respectively, before he put the blue one away with satisfaction.

It’s light blue, and there’s not much difference between the men’s and women’s versions, so it wouldn’t be too outrageous even if it was given to Lingling.

His eyes drifted towards Zhu Zhuqing who was still wearing the white soft armor: "Don't you want to try it? What if it doesn't fit?"

His words made Zhu Zhuqing, who was about to put the soft armor into the box, pause for a moment and lowered her head: "I will change it in the evening."

Is it the basic white soft armor? Or the enhanced white long skirt? Of course, Han Li didn't really ask aloud, because a cat will run away when it is anxious.

It seemed that Han Li's gaze was a little too much for Zhu Zhuqing to bear. She quickly put the box away and changed the subject.

"Are those weapons you told Lou Gao about really possible?"

She had been listening in on the conversation between the two, feeling longing but also fearful.

"If it's just a basic gun, it's not difficult to make with Lou Gao's technology. But even if he really makes it, it will be difficult to develop it."

Han Li talked eloquently. As a keyboard political scientist, combined with his experience over the past ten years, he could easily make a judgment.

"Why?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked with some confusion, because according to what Han Li and Lou Gao said, it can be said that soul masters below the level of Soul Saint should be very difficult to resist.

"Because the masters of this world are now soul masters. Even if there are not many of them, there is no doubt that the masters who can make the decisions are soul masters, and only soul masters."

"Besides, do you think that the Blacksmith Association has the ability to mass-produce weapons? Once the news leaks out, I'm afraid they will be destroyed by the swarming forces while they are still producing."

Han Li couldn't help shaking his head when he thought about what Lou Gao had taken them to see in his foundry.

The current Blacksmith Association is only able to walk on one leg. Serious hardcore players, the kind who rely on their martial arts and brute force to rub parts, even consider mold casting as heresy, let alone assembly line manufacturing.

However, Han Li had no intention of reminding him. Now was not the right time, and there was no need.

In his plan, universal cultivation will be the trend in the future. Instead of investing too much in traditional firearms, it is better to transform directly and move towards soul guides, which will be the mainstream in the future.

The pie he painted for Lou Gao was also moving in that direction, but of course, such a short period of time was definitely not enough.

Therefore, his request was that after Lou Gao had built the necessary plot props, he should focus on the research of gunpowder.

Regarding this point, after coming into contact with the gunpowder formula, although Lou Gao was a little surprised, he only lamented that it was better than the formula they had. For the idea of ​​increasing the power of firearms, he agreed without hesitation.

Although he also knew that this was different from the direction Han Li had painted for him, he had no idea about soul guides and could only work honestly for the time being.

He could only hope that after the research and development was completed, Han Li would be able to give him some advice, giving him the opportunity to start the so-called "rise and transformation of the blacksmith."

Han Li did not lie to him about this. For him, who had access to the rules, although he did not understand how various soul guides were specifically manufactured, this did not prevent him from carving out the relevant array patterns. The biggest problem for him was actually the simplest.

It is worth mentioning that through communication with Lou Gao, Han Li confirmed one thing.

That is, the gunpowder produced based on the materials on the Douluo Continent is indeed a beggar's version in terms of power.

However, even if it is the beggar's version, as long as the quantity is sufficient, it is enough. After all, the starting line is the same, and everyone is the beggar's version!
