Not long after Wang Han posted the notice recruiting retainers and servants, several people came to inquire. Among them was a man named Li Si, who was a martial artist. He was tall, standing at least eight feet tall, and very strong. The rest of the people came to be his servants.
Wang Han invited them into the courtyard, gave instructions to the servants, and after Li Si demonstrated his skills, he agreed to let him stay as a retainer and arranged a room for him to stay.
——————
The next day, upon hearing the sounds of Li Si practicing martial arts in the courtyard, Wang Han got up early. After watching Li Si practice for a while, he went to the blacksmith shop.
As soon as Wang Han entered the blacksmith's shop, the blacksmith quickly brought out the weapons Wang Han had customized: two types of spiked clubs, one long and one short; a pair of drum-shaped golden hammers; a heavy, sturdy axe; a thick shield; a dragon-slaying broadsword; a three-bladed scythe (imitating Hidan's); a powerful bow; twenty iron arrows; and over a hundred steel needles shaped like spears. However, all of these items were miniature versions; even the heaviest pair of drum-shaped golden hammers weighed less than a pound.
The weapons Wang Han customized were all versions of those from online games he remembered. Their appearances were either terrifying or gorgeous, but when magnified, they were ridiculously large compared to ordinary weapons, and their weight was terrifying.
After receiving the items, Wang Han ordered another batch of weapons for martial arts practice from the blacksmith shop, and asked them to forge another batch of the same miniature weapons. He then left the city and ran all the way to the mountains where he practiced his spear skills.
In the mountains and forests, after practicing his marksmanship, Wang Han took out the miniature weapon he had crafted to familiarize himself with it.
The first thing Wang Han took out was a miniature powerful bow he had crafted. This bow had two connected bow sections, four thick bow limbs, and two bowstrings intertwined in the middle. With Wang Han's enhanced power, the palm-sized miniature powerful bow transformed into a 1.7-meter-long large bow in his hands. Then, Wang Han took out a miniature iron arrow, and with a flick of his wrist, it transformed into a 1.5-meter-long iron arrow, which he nocked onto the bowstring. The triangular arrowhead emitted a cold, sharp light.
Wang Han easily drew back the bow and aimed at the target he used for practicing his marksmanship 150 meters away. Because of the massive object and its transformations, Wang Han couldn't perceive the difference before and after the transformation; drawing this large bow was as easy for him as drawing his previous miniature bow.
"collapse……."
After taking a careful aim, Wang Han released the bowstring.
The iron arrow flew out at a speed of 100 meters per second and struck a thick tree about two meters away from the target. The arrow hummed and penetrated the tree 30 centimeters deep, almost piercing through it.
Wang Han took out another miniature iron arrow, enlarged it, and nocked it onto the bowstring. Learning from his previous experience, he adjusted the angle.
"Bang..." The arrow flew out again at high speed.
This time, the iron arrow did not miss the target; it pierced through the target and embedded itself in the large tree behind it.
"This power and force are comparable to an armor-piercing bullet." After practicing a few more arrows, Wang Han came to the front of the target and sighed as he looked at the iron arrow that had almost pierced through the tree.
"Looks like we'll have to make more iron arrows." Wang Han reached out and tried to pull out an iron arrow stuck to the tree, but it wouldn't budge; it was firmly embedded. He had no choice but to abandon the idea of retrieving it.
Then Wang Han took out the Thunder Drum Golden Hammer, which was only half the size of a palm. With the transformation of the object, the Thunder Drum Golden Hammer became 1.4 meters long. The oval copper hammerhead was 60 centimeters in diameter, larger than a small millstone. Eight protruding rhomboids extended from the hammerhead to the hammer tail, increasing its lethality. The fine steel handle was as thick as a wrist, and Wang Han's hand could only barely grasp it. A thick iron chain extended from the back of the hammer handle, increasing the attack range.
Wang Han weighed the enormous, terrifying golden hammer in his hand, then forcefully swung it at a thick tree beside him.
"Crack..." The tree snapped in response.
Wang Han didn't need to be incredibly strong; the weight of the Thunder Drum Golden Hammer itself easily broke the tree.
Wang Han swung the hammer a few more times, as easily as if he were wielding a miniature hammer, without affecting his speed at all.
Wang Han then tried other weapons, and aside from the fact that others couldn't use them at all, they all worked without major problems, so Wang Han was quite satisfied with the results. Especially the three-bladed scythe; Wang Han had transformed it to a length of 2.5 meters, giving it an attack range of over 6 meters. Plus, it felt almost weightless to Wang Han, and the speed at which he could swing it with one hand was extremely fast. Without exceptional martial arts skills, it was practically an unstoppable killing machine on the battlefield.
——————————
At night, Wang Han returned from outside the city and found that there were many more people at his residence, men and women, old and young.
Upon further inquiry, Wang Han learned that these people had all come to answer the call for servants after seeing the notice outside the door. However, none of them were the martial arts practitioners Wang Han had hoped for. In this chaotic world where food was scarce, working for a wealthy family was a good way out; not only would one not have to worry about starving, but one would also receive wages. However, martial arts practitioners were highly sought after in this chaotic world and were not so easy to recruit.
After selecting some of these people, Wang Han kept most of them and told them to go back and prepare, pack their clothes, and come back the next day.
Afterwards, Wang Han changed the notice on the door to only recruit retainers. He told his servants about the contents of the notice and instructed them to wait at the door early the next morning. If anyone asked, he should tell them that he was only recruiting retainers now. After discussing martial arts with Li Si for a while, Wang Han went to rest.
Wang Han did not want to become an apprentice because after using the cheat, he would appear to be a person with extremely strong martial arts skills. Becoming an apprentice would easily expose his true identity and let people know that he was actually a person who did not know martial arts. Therefore, Wang Han planned to recruit more disciples to learn from various schools of martial arts.
