42. Weapons
"I never meant to curry favor with anyone, but your attitude really hurts me."
In the eyes of the admiral, she seemed like a puppet without self-awareness, and had to obey his manipulation of her marriage.
She was pushed first to Ansel and then to Vincent.
Huo Jie arbitrarily decided her marriage destination without ever asking her for her own wishes.
Although, the thoughts of a small person like her should not be taken seriously by the high and mighty general.
Closing his eyes, Su Liu whispered, "You can think I'm ungrateful or hypocritical. But my marriage is my own decision. Please don't bother worrying about it anymore."
After saying that, she blocked the number and hid under the quilt.
Inside the castle, Huo Jie held the laptop with a black screen and remained silent for a long time.
After listening to the whole thing, Vincent handed over the spare computer and said, "I still have a lot of numbers."
Huo Jie glanced at him.
This was the first time his younger brother suffered a defeat, and he had no way to deal with him. Vincent was almost injured from trying to hold back his laughter.
But in order to prevent his ancestors' legacy from being destroyed by this prodigal son, Vincent had no choice but to act serious.
"Or would it be better to apologize in person? Liuliu isn't a narrow-minded child. As long as you are sincere enough, she will forgive you."
"Don't worry about it." Huo Jie spread out his hands with a cold face, his brain had turned into powder and floated away.
As a new day arrives, Skyrim enters autumn and the temperature drops.
Su Liu skipped class in the morning, took a walk in the fields, and then went to the parts center of the Mechanical Department.
Fu Yanlai, the third-year mechanic, had received Su Liu's message long ago and was waiting here.
When Su Liu arrived, he was grinding the animal bones into smooth flakes.
Su Liu greeted, "Hello, senior, I'm Su Liu, I contacted you yesterday."
"I know you. The Department of Planting has two Purifiers in its first year this year. The whole school is buzzing." Fu Yanlai stretched out his hand towards her, "Give it to me."
"Money?" Su Liu was puzzled.
"Weapon design," Fu Yan said, "If you don't have any ideas, I will build it according to my own understanding."
Su Liu really had no idea. "I originally considered a sword, but I wonder if it would be suitable?"
She really liked Huo Jie's giant blade. Although it was such a huge and heavy weapon, when Huo Jie wielded it, it looked elegant and powerful.
"I don't recommend you to use the sword." Fu Yanlai gave her a critical hit.
Her fantasy was shattered, and her face fell. "Why?"
"You Purifiers are merely catalysts for purification, without any increase in strength. Your physical fitness isn't as good as that of combat types. Plus, you're a girl," Fu Yan said. "I don't mean to discriminate against you, but you'll be able to better demonstrate your strength with lighter weapons."
Lightweight?
Su Liu said a little disappointedly, "Then the embroidery needle?"
"Don't be so pessimistic." Fu Yanlai felt that the gap from sword to needle was too big.
"In your opinion, senior, what weapon shape is suitable for me?" Su Liu decided to listen to the opinions of professionals.
Fu Yan said, "You purifiers use a lot of musical instrument designs, especially the girls, who prefer flutes, zithers, or other mirrors, whips, bows and arrows, etc."
The purifier is mainly responsible for purification, which is equivalent to a mage with long-range output, and will not use weapons for close combat.
For them, the shape of the weapon is not very important, they just choose the one they like.
Su Liu thought for a long time, "Then let's use a fan."
"Fans are definitely more common," Fu Yanlai took out his laptop and began to record, "round fans, folding fans, waist fans, and cattail-leaf fans?"
"A folding fan, it's easier to store."
"What's the color?"
"casual."
"What material is the bone body made of?"
"Bone body?"
"The fan has a skeleton appearance and can be made of jade, gemstones, metal, animal bones, animal teeth, bamboo, wood, etc."
Su Liu felt that gemstones and jade were extremely expensive, so it would be better to use bamboo.
Seeing through her thoughts, Fu Yanlai added, "Comparatively speaking, wood is the most brittle material. The service life of bamboo and wood is not long."
"Isn't this just a disguised way of asking me to use gemstones?"
"That's what I mean," Fu Yanlai explained to her, "Jade and gemstones, these materials took a long time to form, which also determines their durability. Moreover, the older the material, the more vigorous power it contains."
Materials like obsidian, aquamarine, jadeite, white jade, emerald, etc. are not materials that can "grow" in a short period of time.
The longer they are buried underground or on the seabed, the more powerful the power they absorb, just like a surging ocean, which can bring endless energy to the holder.
Su Liu thought this made a lot of sense, but her wallet was trembling.
"I understand what you mean. Just tell me how much it would cost to make a skeleton out of gemstones."
"30 million star coins as a base."
"Wood is pretty good, really." Su Liu didn't consider it at all.
Mahajaya is a school for the common people. There are few rich people who can study here, at least in the first grade.
Fu Yan came to comfort him, "It's okay, just use the broken weapons for a year or two, and then get new ones when you're in the third or fourth grade. It'll be fine as long as you can survive until then."
Su Liu was hurt by the "broken" weapon, but then he thought that it would cost a lot of money to make weapons, so there was no need to waste too much money on bones.
The two of them continued to design other aspects of the weapon. After roughly confirming it, Su Liu paid Fu Yanlai a deposit of 10,000 star coins.
The mechanic's fee was usually 10% of the total cost of the weapon's materials. Fu Yanlai, as a senior from the same school, gave Su Liu a 30% discount.
Finally, he made a list for Su Liu, "These are the beast materials. Go buy them yourself. If you can't afford them, team up with the combat department to hunt exotic beasts."
Su Liu took a look and found that the type and quantity of metals were not clearly written on it.
"Don't you need to prepare the metal?"
"I still need to look up some information. I'll come back to you after I've made a list. In the meantime, please prepare some extra money."
You can only buy metals, which will probably empty your wallet.
In order to save money, it is best to collect animal materials yourself.
That night, Su Liu posted a message on the campus website.
All kinds of crops: I am a first-year purifier and I am looking for senior students to guide me.
Content: Hello seniors, I need some animal materials to make weapons, and I’m looking for a team to go to the infected area to hunt strange beasts.
Less than ten minutes after the post was published, replies popped up one after another.
Ali Family: A first-year purifier? Is she a junior or a junior?
The Wind is Calling: Aren't there just those two in first grade? I remember the younger sister was quite cute, and the younger brother was also a handsome boy.
I think humans are very humorous: Those who live upstairs, please don’t scare your juniors.
A talented gourmet: Please be serious, your junior student is asking for help.
…
They were all meaningless replies. Su Liu was about to quit the Internet when someone sent him a private message.
Your nutrition pack: Hello, would you like to go explore the restricted area of Liuyun Star?
What's the infection level on Liuyun Star? I've just become a purifier, and my control over purification isn't that great, so I don't want to hold the team back.
