"According to the current progress, we will be able to build the production line in about three or four days, but there will be debugging afterwards. Dad, you have to be prepared to stop work for half a month."

At the dinner table, Carl gave his father a heads-up in advance.

With the performance of these new muskets, Carl would not worry about having no business in the future, but he was not very clear about the financial situation of his own factory. He was afraid that his father's desperate real estate upgrading would destroy the factory's capital chain.

“It doesn’t matter. Our products aren’t selling very quickly anyway, so the little bit of stock we have left is enough.

The bandits around Wana City have been basically wiped out by the Ranger Army in recent years, and ordinary people can only buy one or two for self-defense at best."

Listening to his father's introduction to the current situation of his factory, Carl, the son, broke out in a cold sweat.

The factory's sales situation is like this. It's really hard for him, the factory director, to be so calm.

The conversation between the father and son reminded Hope of something. Putting down the bowl in his hand, Hope poked Carl's arm.

"By the way, Carl... can you modify those two chainsaws for me? I won't be able to hold them when I transform into a beast later. Is there any better solution?"

Although the druids of Eberron do not like metal weapons, the only things they cannot equip are metal armor and shields.

It’s just that weapons made of bronze wood can directly serve as their spellcasting tools, so they prefer to use bronze wood as the raw material of weapons.

"Unable to hold it? Hmm~, this is a problem. I'll help you think about it later."

After thinking about it for a while, Carl used the giant bear to replace Hope's beast form, trying to find a way to allow her to use the chainsaw.

"Use something like a glove to wear on the claws? Or just install an arm guard directly...but the material must be bronze wood."

While Carl was thinking of a solution, Ryan became interested in the chainsaw that Hope mentioned.

"Chainsaw? Can you show it to me?"

"Okay, Uncle Ryan, I'll get it for you right away."

Soon, Hope returned with the two chainsaws.

Looking at this ferocious thing, even Ryan couldn't help but shrink back.

"Hiss~, son, this thing can also be produced in our factory! You, you have so many good things, but I, as your father, am the last one to know about it?"

Ryan carefully took the chainsaw and swung it twice. He felt that the gravity balance and feel of the weapon were unexpectedly good.

This immediately made him resentful towards Carl.

"Ah? I didn't know our factory was at the brink of life and death. You never told me!"

Faced with his old father's complaints, Carl gave an impeccable excuse - he didn't know.

"Okay, okay, you two can talk about this after dinner. Now, eat first!"

In the end, it was the mother, the local sheriff, who suppressed everything.

However, this incident also opened up Carl's mind.

Not only the guns from the previous life, but also the weapons that have appeared in various games can be used!

For example, the various equipment in Monster Hunter are very suitable for Eberron, right? After all, most of the people in the ranger unit are hunters! 'It's just that the insect stick is not easy to deal with, but I remember that there seems to be a branch of cluster shepherds in the ranger's sub-class. They seem to use the clusters formed by [invisible natural spirits] to fight.'

Carl was calculating in his mind and decided to put the making of the insect-controlling stick on hold for the time being and instead focus his energy on other weapons.

After dinner, the father and son began a discussion in the yard.

Carl took out his shield axe and showed it to Ryan. This peculiar weapon immediately made Ryan excited again.

However, when he heard that this thing was luxuriously installed with dragon crystal, Ryan returned it to his son.

"The most important features of our products are that they are cheap and durable! How can we sell them if you install dragon crystals? How can ordinary people afford them?"

"Then I'll see if I can create a device that can replace the function of dragon crystal."

"No! The rangers also have the ability to cast spells, just let them cast spells themselves."

In order to test the attack power of the axe without the dragon crystal backing, Carl removed the dragon crystal and gave the weapon to his father.

"Would you like me to help you?"

Watching his father swinging his sword around by himself, Carl felt that there was really no visible effect, so he suggested trying it in actual combat to see the effect.

Ryan naturally would not refuse this proposal to show his strength in front of his son, so he readily agreed.

"Transform!"

Asking Hope to open his dimensional bag backpack, Carl activated the Arcane Knight feature directly in the yard and summoned the power armor onto his body.

As soon as it was put on, some of the structures of the power armor underwent some detailed changes under Carl's control.

That was the transmission structure part that had not been revised after receiving Moore's guidance. These changes would allow Carl to reach 18 points of strength of a medium-sized creature when wearing power armor.

"bring it on!"

Holding the shield axe in one hand, Ryan launched a wave of actions and rushed directly towards Carl.

The shield axe that Carl could only wield after wearing power armor was very smooth in Ryan's hands. The broad axe blade cut through the air and hit directly on Carl's hastily raised arm armor.

Warriors of the Warrior subclass are the most reckless. They are proficient in heavy strikes and like to destroy their enemies with powerful attacks.

As soon as the axe blade of the shield axe touched him, Carl felt an extremely powerful force acting on his power armor.

Not daring to take it head-on, Carl and his 200KG body including the power armor were sent flying.

Following the force, Carl activated the flamethrower.

“Da da da…”

Flying into the air with the help of the jet, Carl raised his arms and harassed Ryan with bullets.

But Ryan is also a battle-hardened adventurer. He manipulated the shield axe to disintegrate, raised his shield and blocked Carl's bullet.

"Not enough firepower! This needs to be changed later!"

Seeing that this trick couldn't do anything to Ryan, Carl immediately changed his tactics. He stretched out his hand to summon the hammer, and he turned the hammer handle in mid-air, using magnetic field line cutting to intensify the lightning.

"Bang!"

The lightning-filled hammer was thrown by Carl with gravitational potential energy and hit the shield in Ryan's hand.

Ryan's huge body was knocked back by the hammer, and his arms were weakened by the lightning and vibration.

At this moment, a vitality surged from his body, and Ryan's arm immediately returned to normal.

Warrior's level 1 characteristic, energy recovery.

"Good boy! But that's enough for you! I also have the ability of a priest in the field of forging! I'll open your eyes today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shield and sword in Ryan's hands turned red in an instant.

This is a domain spell held by priests in the forging domain - Burning Metal.

Most people would cast this spell on their enemies, causing their armor to become scorching hot, but priests in the field of forging have a high resistance to high temperatures.

Combined with the spell of enchanted weapon, the shield axe suddenly has magical blessing no less than that of [Elemental Weapon].

Without giving Carl any chance to breathe, Ryan transformed the shield axe back into an axe form and performed the Blazing Slash.

Rays of white-hot light appeared on the weapon, and Carl immediately used the Mage Armor to try to avoid the attack.

However, he was still a step slow.

Ryan, with his skillful technique, struck again with a heavy blow, and the super-unlocked shield axe, with the help of magic, directly split Carl's power armor.

If Ryan, as a father, had not been so ruthless as to not eat his own cubs, and had not held back his strength at the critical moment, Carl would have been cut in half if the blow had been successful.
