Chapter 36: Ignorance

  "Bryan brought a sword, I'll go find a steel bar to chop, if possible, I'll buy one from him myself" He said, pointing at Jin Hu: "It can cut through a steel bar as thick as a wrist".

  As soon as Kim said that, the others also became interested. Evan looked at the knife in Kim's hand and said: "There are two knives over there that I brought back from Japan, which cost me a lot of money. They were made by a famous Japanese swordsmith, so let's just cut it once to see."

  As Duncan was about to take the samurai sword, Jin Hu said: "You'd better leave that thing alone, a steel bar will do." Before Jin Hu could finish speaking, Duncan brought over a short knife.

  Yiwen drew it out, and Jin Hu felt a pity for the good knife. The bright blade, as soon as it came out of its scabbard, could feel a hint of chill on the blade, and the little devil's knife-making skills were indeed worthy of praise. However, when it encountered its own nemesis, the treasured sword "Dang Fu", its tragic fate was sealed.

  Evan grasped the warrior's sword in his hand, and as soon as it touched Kim's dagger, the sword broke into two pieces like a noodle. Evan looked at the dagger in Kim's hand and took a deep breath, asking Jinhu: "Where did you get this thing?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Kim, who handed the dagger over to Evan.

  Yiwen took the knife and walked towards the wall, against a table with the back of the knife facing upwards, and the table was cut off at one corner.

  "I've seen a swordsmith make one before," said Jin Hu. "Two of them emptied my pockets."

  "How much?"

  "One for $450,000!" After a moment, Jin Hu said: "Twenty million less!"

  "Get me a long one that can be made into a Japanese sword style!" Evan didn't hesitate for a moment and placed the order.

  "This won't do! The old man has a bad temper and doesn't accept custom-made Japanese swords," Jin Hu hurriedly said. "Bro, it's a pain to make a Japanese sword for you, love it or not, this hurts my national feelings." "I reckon the one he has in his hand now is about the length of that Japanese sword you just held, only smaller, but the color of the blade might be different."

  Lautrenso also stood up and walked to Evan's side, looking at the knife: "It would be better if it could be changed into a military dagger".

  "If you want a military dagger, the material might be slightly inferior, and according to my estimate, it will take two or three months. I've been waiting for these two for a year."

  "How bad is the material?" Lautrenso asked.

  "It's still no problem to easily cut off the Japanese sword from just now" Jin Hu thought of one thing and couldn't help but want to slap himself, why did he sell such a powerful one, wouldn't it be enough if it was just a bit better than the current best weapon? Fortunately, not many people said that they were of the same level, only a few, and Lautrenso didn't ask either. Thinking about this again, he felt that he had priced himself too high, and his heart was still a little empty for the first time doing business.

  "I'll order two, and I'll find the style pictures for you tonight." Doing business with this rough but straightforward man is refreshing! After taking a look, Lautrenso also placed an order.

  "Alright!" Jin Hu nodded and said.

  "I'll also order two military-style ones, and I'll give you the blueprints later," Duncan said after a moment of thought, speaking to Jin Hu.

  "If you have a deal, let's make one. Cutting off the Japanese sword just now won't put you at a loss. This price is very good." Ivan said to everyone present.

  Jintiger suddenly felt that he had fallen into a big pit, you two took one and Kim also ordered a small Tang knife. Suddenly, nearly $1 million was in hand, Jintiger thought to himself that robbing a bank might be wrong, why not just make this thing and sell it? Then he thought again, still not quite right, several tens of thousands of dollars per piece, only a few people can afford to play with it, and he didn't have any connections, in his heart he felt there was something not quite right that he hadn't thought of yet.

  "Brian! When can I see the sword?" Kim asked Jinhu.

  Jin Hu thought for a moment and said: "I need to go back home for this, I'll tell the old man in person."

  "Can't you just make a phone call?" Kim asked Jinhu.

  "It's deep in the mountains, no phone signal, and no electricity!"

  Aiyin glanced at Jinhu and asked: "About how many days will you be back?"

  "It'll be seventeen or eighteen days," Jin Hu said, raising his eyes.

  Aidan furrowed his brow: "Will it take so long?"

  "I'm an illegal immigrant! And that's putting it mildly," said Jin Hu.

  "Don't worry about this, Joey can get you an ID and you can just take a plane back. We've just finished a job and have a bit of downtime now, so it's perfect for you to go take care of things." Ivan said to Jinhu.

  "That's it!" Jinhu immediately agreed. Generously told everyone to pay after checking the goods, on the third day, Jinhu took a plane back to his home country. As soon as he got off the plane, Jinhu found a secluded spot and sneaked onto the warship.

  He told the robot manufacturer about his requirements and showed him Duncan's design, in less than five minutes, all the knives were produced, and Jin Hu also made an extra dog leg knife as a sample for custom knife bars.

  I spent five whole days on the warship, thinking about this matter from head to toe. If there are too many divine soldiers, it would be a waste of resources. Even if they cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands each, we can't play with them like that. From now on, we should produce fewer divine soldiers and lower their standards when producing more, so they won't become as common as trash on the streets. If there are divine soldiers all over the streets, it would be hard for me to stand out myself. I took two Tang knives out for a look, and the streets were still full of them - what's the point? After thinking about it, it's better not to take out too many good things, it's better to keep them for ourselves.

  Jin Hu decided that from now on, he would no longer sell any of his excessively modified steel mouths, and so he brought the three knives back to the arena from the sea.

  As soon as he entered the door, people surrounded him. Kim rushed over first: "Brian, has my knife arrived?"

  Jin Hu handed over the package in his hand: "The two small Tang knives are Aiwen and Jinmu's, that dog leg is a sample I brought, the steel mouths you ordered are all like this."

  Two small Tang knives, one was all black and the other was all silver in color, shining brightly. Kim picked them up and asked Evan on the second floor, "Which one do you want?"

  "You choose first," Evan said to Kim.

  Kim thought for a moment: "Well, I'll give you the black one instead. You might be close to others, and black is better." Seeing Evan nodding, he walked over and threw the black short knife up.

  Jin Hu looked at a few people, shook his head, Jin Mu took out his own knife and started looking for something to cut, finally becoming holding a short knife and inserting it into the wall, playing very happily.

  Duncan then took a steel rod the thickness of a thumb and, with one powerful chop, cut it into two pieces. The edge of the blade didn't even have a slight curve.

  When the dog leg reached Lautrenso's hand, he took it to Gim's side and inserted it into the wall in the same way as Gim. However, their knives were not as smooth as Gim's Tang knife, and they had to use a lot of force to insert them halfway.

  Let Kim see the triumphant big laugh.

  Duncan walked up to Jin Hu and asked him: "Make one of those small swords for me too!"

  Jin Hu shook his head and said, "You can forget about this, by the time I arrived, there were only two left, one of which was even sharpened by me. The old man has now kept only one for himself!"

  "Kim didn't say you said there were seven or eight of them?" Duncan asked Jinhu.

  Jin Hu looked at Deng Kun and said: "It's been a year since I last went, now even the materials for dog legs in your hands are not many, after making them for you, at most there can be four more daggers, if someone orders a long sword then there will only be one, or half of it. This thing is not cabbage, you can't have as much as you want."

  At this time, Evan walked over and heard Jin Hu's words, and continued to say: "I think so too. This kind of ore is definitely hard to find, just like a Damascus knife. Once the ore is used up, it can't be made again. Since that's the case, let's buy the rest as well! Make me a short sword."

  "Alright! I've told the old man, his son will come to town tomorrow to receive your call. What kind of style do you want? Chinese-style is fine, Western-style these people haven't seen much of," said Jin Hu.

  "Then it's Chinese-style, no big deal," Evan said.

  It's either that people's hearts are like this, or when something is gone, they think it's a good thing! As soon as they heard that the divine sword Tang Knife had become an absolute legend, several people who had fixed their eyes on military knives looked at the knife in Jin Mu's hand with envy.

  "You don't have to look at me like that, I won't back down." Kim said with a smile, holding the Tang knife in his hand.

  Ivan listened to Kim's words and followed, saying: "You guys don't envy me and Kim! Just now I saw the knives in your hands, if they were all made of this steel, you would be satisfied. I dare say that it is absolutely better than Damascus by a lot. You calculate it yourself! Is it worth spending tens of thousands of dollars to buy a knife that is sharper than Damascus? When fighting with someone and cutting off the opponent's weapon with one knife, that feeling, the opponent's willpower weakens at the weak point, and they want to turn around and run away."

  Lautrenso immediately tightened his grip on the dog leg in his hand: "Bryan! I'll take this!"

  Jin Hu thought to himself, "This deal is a loss for me, I'm the fool! If only I had known earlier, I would have added another 100,000 or 200,000. But thinking about it now, following them and working together will also benefit me, so I've calmed down. At least my teammate has been armed, so it's not a big loss."

  When they heard that the item they were using was a rare find, everyone paid up quickly this time, unlike a few days ago when, except for Lautrenso and Evan, everyone else thought it was a bit expensive to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a knife.

  By the evening, Jin Hu's one million dollars was all in his hands with just a nod. Lautrenso smiled and handed over the money for the three knives to Jin Hu, as if he had taken advantage of him greatly.

  The next evening, Jin Hu made a phone call to Hu Fei in front of Jin Mu, told him about the current situation, and then hung up the phone. He immediately followed Jin Mu and said that everything was settled.

  As a result, Jin Hu's relationships improved a bit, and he got along well with everyone. Often someone would invite Jin Hu to go out and have fun together.
