Chapter 142: Chaos' Fury
Gong Zibai and Lao Niu were both stunned at the same time, frowning and saying: "What kind of thing are you making!?"
Su Dongtan calmly said, "Ling Wu, the name is called Chaos Fury. Lately, the Lingwu Sect has been searching for a specialized weapon to deal with large sea beasts, so I researched this thing."
The old cow frowned and sighed, "It's really absurd. The Lingwu system does need new weapons to deal with sea monsters, but this spirit bow is too exaggerated! It's too big and difficult to shoot into the depths of the ocean."
Su Dong smiled and said, "Don't forget, warriors' vision is limited. If the sea beast hides in the depths of the ocean, the warriors can't see it, no matter what kind of weapon they have. My Chaos Fury is huge, but its range exceeds 500 meters. I think the warriors' visual system can only see that far at most."
The old cow hesitated for a moment, Su Dong was right, the seawater would block the warriors' observation. If they couldn't see the sea beast, even if the range could reach 5,000 meters, it wouldn't be able to play its role. To kill the sea beast, two steps were needed: first, find it; second, kill it.
A 500-meter range in Lingnu is not considered the strongest, but as a specialized weapon for underwater attacks, it is absolutely qualified.
The old ox was a bit puzzled, Su Dong made the Ling Nuo so huge, the arrow shaft would have to withstand very strong water pressure, it seemed unlikely to reach an effective range of 500 meters.
At this time, Gong Zibai said: "Our Dan medicine emphasizes experimentation. Whether it works or not can be known by trying it out. Su Dong, since you have so much confidence in your Lingnu, dare you experiment with us here?"
"Of course I dare, but there is no lake nearby. Even if there was one, the depth might not be enough, and that's what I'm worried about." Su Dong said calmly.
Gong Zibai disagreed, saying: "This is no problem, we'll just increase the range. If it can shoot 5,000 meters in the air, it should be able to attack objects at least 300 meters away underwater. Old Niu, throw one high up and let Su Dong demonstrate."
Niu Kun nodded, looked around and saw a set of bluestone-carved table and chairs in the Gongzi Bai's courtyard. Old Niu easily lifted up the thousand-jin-heavy table and said: "I will throw this thing into the air, towards the back mountain, where it is uninhabited, so you don't have to worry about hurting others. If the distance exceeds 5,000 meters and can still shatter this stone-made table, it will prove that your Lingnu indeed has the ability to kill large sea beasts."
Su Dong nodded and shouldered the Lingnu, getting into position. "No problem, this thing is very powerful," he said. "If someone gets hurt, I'm not responsible."
The old cow didn't say a word, its sturdy arm swung back and then suddenly exerted force, the stone table weighing over 1,000 catties was really thrown out by him!
Perhaps because of the pent-up energy in his heart, Old Cow's throw was quite forceful, causing the stone table to shatter with a loud crash, one half flying forward and the other backward. The speed was incredibly fast!
Snap
Su Dong lightly pressed the button, and a two-point aiming mechanism extended from the Lingnu. This mechanism was originally hidden inside the Lingnu, borrowing the structure of optical sights from his previous life. Neither Lao Niu nor Gong Zibai had seen it before, and they were quite surprised.
"Hurry! We're almost out of range of 5,000 meters!" Huan Yu shouted with some tension.
Su Dong remained still and expressionless, he was waiting for a crucial turning point!
When the stone table broken into two pieces flew out about seven kilometers away, Su Dong finally pressed down the mechanism.
Whoosh!
The sound of the bowstring's scream was extremely piercing, and the 1.2-meter-long arrow shot out like a beam of light!
At this time, the two halves of the stone table had already turned into two small black dots in the air. Only then did Su Dong's spirit bow shoot out a black light that whizzed as it chased after them. Hit the first target!
Rumble...
What a strange arrow, when it hit the stone table, it shattered immediately! Shattered into thousands of sharp metal thorns of varying sizes! Just like buckshot, the attack area is rapidly expanding!
Half of the stone table was blown to pieces at that time, and those metal thorns continued to attack the second target, blowing the remaining half of the stone table to pieces!
Explosive effect, what an explosive effect!
Su Dong's arrow shaft will explode when it hits an obstacle! This is probably the first explosive spiritual crossbow in the history of the divine realm.
The old cow rubbed his eyes in a self-deprecating manner, while Gu Zi's face was increasingly surprised.
"What incredible power! This thing can not only kill sea monsters, but also be used for engineering, it's simply a legendary killer!" exclaimed Gong Zibai.
The old ox turned his head and asked with a somewhat disbelieving expression, "The power is very strong, how can you guarantee that the arrow will not deviate from its target even underwater?"
"There are four stabilizing fins, at least guaranteeing that the first two hundred meters is a straight line." Su Dong said.
"Why did the arrow explode?" Old Cow asked again.
"Secret."
"Is the aiming device accurate?"
"Accurate."
"What principle?"
"Secret."
Lao Niu and Gong Zijian asked Su Dong a string of secrets, but whenever it came to the core issues of Ling Nu, Su Dong uniformly refused to answer. As a reincarnated earthling, Su Dong's awareness of intellectual property rights was still very strong.
The discussion gradually became more heated, and both Lao Niu and Gong Zibai were very excited. In fact, it had been proven that Su Dong's design of the ultra-large-caliber Ling Nu's Fury was a new type of weapon with tremendous killing power!
The bowstring has been repeatedly tempered with ice-casting techniques to reach the extreme limit of metal toughness, and its elasticity is extremely frightening, capable of shooting heavy arrows over a distance of more than ten kilometers.
The arrowhead is made of a dozen or so metals fused together, hard and brittle, shattering as soon as it hits something hard.
To know that this fragmentation can occur at high speed, thousands of metal shrapnel flying in all directions, the lethality is no different from a shell!
An arrow shot into the body of a sea beast is like being hit by over a thousand arrows at once, tearing out a bloody big mouthful from its body, even if it's a large sea beast, it's hard to escape.
Gong Zibai burst out laughing and said, "How's that, Old Cow? I told you Su Dong's little friend still has real skills. This spirit bow should meet the requirements of your Spirit Martial Sect, right?"
"Very powerful spirit crossbow, but this thing is too vicious. Using burst arrow technology to cause large-scale casualties, if it falls into the wrong hands, it's not a good thing."
Gong Zibai nodded slightly, and the old cow's worries were not unfounded. The new type of spiritual crossbow made by Su Dong was indeed terrifying. After all, the warriors were all spiritual warriors, and when they attacked, they would attach their spiritual power to it. If thousands or even tens of thousands of such spiritual crossbows were aimed at a certain war god, it could potentially knock down the mighty war god.
"After some thought, Gong Zibai said: 'Why not do it this way? In the name of the college, we can buy a batch and then only rent them out, not sell. When the students need to use them, we lend them out, and when they're done, we take them back.'"
The old cow nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I'll take the sample back for discussion."
After listening to the rain, he frowned and said to Su Dong: "If we rent it out, won't the sales volume go down? Will it affect our income?"
Su Dong smiled and said, "The academy wants to rent them out to those students, but isn't it the same as renting them out to the academy? Originally, I planned to casually make some, not seeking to make the best, but seeking to make them at the fastest speed. By the time these spirit bows break, they will still come to me for repairs and I can earn another fortune."
"Now if I rent it out, I can slowly build up a batch of high-quality goods. No matter how long I rent it for, this batch of goods is still mine, and the money has been earned by me. How can that be a bad thing?"
Fantasy Rain was speechless, Su Dong had calculated it to the bone. If he were to sell, he would mass-produce low-quality goods, and when they broke, he'd sell new ones to others. But if he rented them out, Su Dong would craft high-quality goods. Either way, he'd make a huge profit from the arrow sales and rental fees!
"I now think you're probably even more ruthless than Huang Bu Ren!" Xiang Yu thought he understood Su Dong's plan, and said in a low voice.
……
Su Dong didn't expect that Old Cow was actually the person in charge of the Ling Wu department. He acted quickly and decisively, and by the next day, he had already placed an order for one hundred sets of Ling Nu bows, plus two thousand arrows, with the income to be extracted at a rate of 10% according to the standards of the transaction center, leaving Su Dong with 90%.
Lingwu's rent is one white spirit crystal per week, and the arrow shafts are five for one white spirit crystal. Calculating it out, if business is good, Su Dong can get around two to three hundred white spirit crystals from the Academy every week. If the usage increases in the future, the income will also increase.
This is almost a cost-free business, the original materials were left by Bing Shen, Su Dong only needs to spend some time creating the Ling Nu, from then on he can collect rent for years to come, Su Dong feels like he's starting to get a sense of being a landlord.
……
West Sea
This sea area is where the Academy takes on its next task, cleaning up the Sea Beast's lair.
The fourth batch of warriors from the Wudang Academy arrived here, with the mission of shooting and killing as many sea beasts as possible. For each large sea beast killed, one White Spirit Crystal would be rewarded; for every three medium-sized ones, one crystal; and for every ten small ones, one crystal.
In all tasks of Wudang College, this sea beast task is just average, but fortunately, there are many sea beasts. Staying by the sea for a week can also exchange for good points.
Unfortunately, the sea beast is too cunning and lives in the sea. The first three batches of warriors who came here didn't gain much benefit, so this time there are only thirty people in total, a significant decrease from before.
Iron-clad warships set sail, warriors stand on the deck searching for their targets. Some hold long spears, hoping to use their spiritual power to pierce the water and kill sea monsters. Others hold ordinary spirit bows, and some are even prepared to use bombs. In short, the warriors have come up with all sorts of methods in order to gain points.
Among them, only one warrior rented Su Dong's Lingnu, named Wei Ying. Last time he came, he was bitten by a sea beast on his thigh, and this time it would be better to say that he came to take revenge rather than to earn points.
Su Dong's big move, Ling Wu, is called Chaos Fury, domineering! Wei Ying didn't care if it was useful or not and immediately rented a set, also buying twenty arrow shafts.
When Wei Ying took out the Chaos Fury, he couldn't help but be ridiculed by his fellow disciples. Su Dong was a pragmatist who only cared about making things sturdy and durable, not whether they looked good or not.
That Lingwu was a big lump of black, without even any decorative patterns on it, its shape was strange and ugly compared to other people's spiritual weapons.
"It's coming! It's a giant sea monster!" A warrior on the left deck shouted loudly.
Wei Ying suddenly stumbled, carrying an enormous and boundless Chaos Fury as he rushed over, opening up a stance...
