After trying again, Li Si still couldn't lift the Golden Hammer. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, how heavy are these hammers? I used all my strength but still couldn't move them."
Upon hearing this, Wang Han estimated in his mind that the two sledgehammers together weighed about 0.8 cubic meters, and said, "I don't know how much they weigh. But I estimate that each one should weigh more than 3,000 jin, and the two should weigh more than 6,000 jin, since they are all made of copper."
However, Wang Han forgot that the jin he used was different from the jin of this era; he was using kilograms. (One cubic meter of copper weighs 8932 kilograms, but ancient copper was less pure and therefore lighter.)
"Gulp, one weighs three thousand jin, two would weigh over six thousand jin." Li Si swallowed hard as he looked at the Golden Hammer of the Drum, staring at Wang Han as if he were a monster. Wang Han had just picked them up with ease, and even a pair. Now he knew that Wang Han was the real powerhouse with the strength to lift ten thousand jin.
"Li Si, later have someone find a stonemason and buy a batch of stone locks, both big and small," Wang Han instructed Li Si. "I'm going out for a while and won't be back until tonight. Also, once the servants we hired yesterday arrive, assign them jobs and have someone build a shed in the yard to store weapons so they don't rust when it rains. Also, have someone sharpen my few bladed weapons."
"Well, sir, we can't move your weapon, and we can't even pick it up or sharpen it," Li Si said awkwardly. It was quite embarrassing for a martial artist to be unable to even move someone else's weapon.
"I'll carry the weapons myself when I come back tonight. As for sharpening them, I'll just have the servants use small whetstones to sharpen them," Wang Han said with a smile. After Li Si nodded in understanding, he ran off towards the city gates.
Not long after Wang Han left, the servants got up and were all speechless at the sight of the exaggerated weapons in the courtyard. They tried to lift them, but apart from the bow and arrows, none of them could be moved; they couldn't even draw the bowstring. When they heard Li Si mention the weight of the sledgehammers, they were all astonished. When Li Si said that these were all Wang Han's weapons, including the pair of sledgehammers that Wang Han could lift easily, they were even more astonished, their jaws nearly dropping. Everyone expressed disbelief; how could a person lift such heavy sledgehammers? After some debate, they all said they would wait until Wang Han returned that evening to see how he would put the weapons in the armory. Then, under Li Si's instructions, they each began their work.
At noon, the blacksmith delivered the weapon that Wang Han had ordered. The blacksmith was startled when he saw the weapon in the yard.
"Master Zhang, how heavy are these two hammers?" a servant who knew the blacksmith asked curiously, pointing to the golden hammer.
"Well, I can't say for sure. It's made of copper. If it's hollow or has other materials inside, it's hard to say. But if it's pure copper and solid, I estimate it would weigh at least six thousand jin." The blacksmith carefully examined the sledgehammer, and his words startled everyone.
"Six thousand catties (in real history, one catty was about 223 grams at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. This is the world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so we use 500 grams of the market catty to calculate the weight. Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade weighs eighty-two catties in the book.) Master Zhang, you're not joking, are you? Li Si just said that our master can lift these two big hammers." Everyone expressed disbelief upon hearing this.
"Whether it's a joke or not, we'll find out by testing it," Master Zhang said with a smile. He himself was very curious, and he was even more curious after hearing that their master could lift it.
"How do we measure it?" everyone asked quickly upon hearing this.
"It's simple," Master Zhang said with a smile. "Everyone tells each other how heavy something they can lift, and then we lift it together to see how many people it takes to move it, and that'll give us a rough idea."

In the mountains and forests, Wang Han was unaware of his dwelling place, while his servants and busybodies were making a big fuss about measuring the weight of his golden drumstick.
After finishing his marksmanship practice, Wang Han was now diligently training his body. Because the unlimited resurrection cheat is in a passive state when not activated, it can accelerate the recovery speed of the user's physical strength, mental strength, and soul power. Therefore, Wang Han can withstand more and stronger training, constantly challenging his limits. Even if he suffers hidden injuries, he can use the cheat to revive in the future. After reviving, his body will be restored to its peak condition, and all adverse conditions will disappear, including hidden injuries. Therefore, Wang Han trains extremely hard, and his physical fitness and strength are rapidly improving.

In the evening, after a day of exercise, Wang Han returned to his residence and found the courtyard almost crowded with people, including two guards. When they saw Wang Han return, everyone turned their attention to him.
Upon seeing Wang Han enter, Li Si rushed over indignantly and said, "Master, I told them you could lift those two hammers, but they didn't believe me. They're waiting in the courtyard for you to come back and show them. Quickly lift them up and let them see if I'm lying. We martial artists are born upright and honest; how could we lie?"
"How come there are so many people?" Wang Han asked, the courtyard was almost completely packed with people. There was no entertainment at this time, so everyone liked to join in the fun when they had nothing to do.
"Well... the servants mentioned it to others when they went out to buy groceries and wood, so everyone came out of curiosity. Master, I'm sorry," Li Si said softly, thinking that Wang Han was blaming him.
"Alright, it's not a big deal, I don't blame you," Wang Han said with a smile, walking over to the Thunder Drum Golden Hammer, casually picking up a pair of large hammers and heading towards the weapons shed. If people came to watch, word would spread, which was exactly what Wang Han wanted. This way, he could not only openly learn from others, but people would also think he was appraising their skills, and might even ask him for pointers, which would be quite beneficial for Wang Han.
"My God, he can actually pick it up."
“Those two sledgehammers each weigh over 6,000 jin, and it would take nearly 30 people to lift them. The two of them would weigh more than 12,000 jin, yet he lifted them so easily.”
The people in the courtyard gasped in astonishment when they saw Wang Han easily lift the pair of golden hammers from the ground; their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Rubbing their eyes, and confirming that Wang Han was carrying the hammers towards the weapons shed, their mouths gaped open wide enough to fit a fist.
"Thank you, sir." Seeing that Wang Han didn't blame him and hearing the exclamations of surprise from those around them, Li Si said happily, as if he had lifted it himself. He quickly ran to the side, laboriously dragged Wang Han's dragon-slaying broadsword up, and walked with Wang Han towards the weapons shed.
"Alright, leave it there." Seeing that Li Si was struggling to drag it, Wang Han said, "Now that the sledgehammer is lifted, you can let everyone who needs to leave disperse."
"Yes, Master." Upon hearing this, Li Si quickly replied, putting down his Dragon-Slaying Greatsword and saying to the people in the courtyard, "Now my master has picked up the hammer. My master wants you all to disperse, disperse."
Upon hearing that it was Wang Han who had ordered everyone to disperse, they all shrank back and quickly went their separate ways. They had already seen the show, and if they displeased Wang Han, they would be in deep trouble.
Soon, most of the people in the courtyard had left. Apart from the servants and Li Si, only three people remained: two servants and a strong, burly man.
