Chapter 129: New Version of Panlongsi
"Boss Du, this time the reward is five times as much as last time, won't you consider it?"
Li Yu's voice was still neither hurried nor slow, but she slightly prolonged the five-times sound to make it full of temptation.
"hehe."
Du Ruo watched the elevator arrive and walked out of it, chuckling:
"Last time, a big reason was because of the bones. If it was just about money, I don't think you would have to say more."
Because of the phone call, Du Ruo spoke vaguely. If Du Ruo didn't care before, no one would pay attention to him, but now it seems a little different, so Du Ruo feels that he still needs to pay attention.
"Okay, I understand. I don't know what Mr. Du is interested in. Next time, if the other party can come up with something that Mr. Du is satisfied with, I will contact you again."
After hearing this, Li Yu did not try to persuade him further, and was even delighted. She was not afraid that Du Ruo would be greedy. Anyway, no matter how much money it was, she would not have to pay. Naturally, there would be people in need who would pay the reward. She was just afraid that Du Ruo had no desires. If that was the case, it would be difficult to cooperate with him in the future.
"Precious medicinal herbs useful for martial arts training, very valuable and rare martial arts, Taoist, Buddhist classics, or valuable opponents will also be fine... There are actually many things that can interest me. As long as they are available, I will be able to make a move."
Du Ruo swiped the door open and walked in. What he said was a bit vague. In fact, it was just a way for him to improve his status.
Otherwise, would he go as soon as Li Yu called him? That would only make him look cheap.
"Okay, I understand. I will go collect things in this regard."
Li Yu seemed to understand, agreed and hung up the phone.
Of course she has to pay attention to the relevant things herself, otherwise, would she wait until the employer is looking for a job before asking?
The last time she did an agency job, she earned the same amount as she had earned in the previous year. This made her feel sweet and was the reason why she was so interested in it. Anyway, it did not hinder her career and could even help promote it, so she enjoyed doing it.
As for this time, it doesn’t matter. There are many desperate criminals in this world. If Du Ruo doesn’t go, there will naturally be people willing to risk their lives for her. This will not be a loss for her at all.
Du Ruo threw the phone on the bed, walked aside and started his daily practice. The phone call just now was just an episode and did not affect Du Ruo.
The next day, it was still the familiar scene and the familiar people.
"Master Du, the new Panlong silk has been made and is waiting for you to inspect it."
Chen Yanting was still standing in the same place and greeted Du Ruo enthusiastically.
"Master Chen, thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work."
The two sides exchanged some pleasantries. This time, Chen Yanting did not invite Du Ruo to the tea room. Knowing Du Ruo's purpose, he took Du Ruo directly to the sword-testing venue.
But this time Chen Yanting was not alone. There was a young man following him with a small wooden box in his hand.
However, Chen Yanting did not give much introduction, and Du Ruo did not ask many questions. He just listened to Chen Yanting's introduction of the blacksmith shop while walking slowly behind him.
"Master Du, I also tried the Panlong silk this time. It may not be so easy to control. You have to be mentally prepared."
When they were almost at the sword testing room, Chen Yanting gave Du Ruo a heads-up in advance. The Panlong silk was made yesterday and he had indeed tried it. They must try it in advance before delivery.
They can't just find out the product is defective when it's delivered, they can't afford to lose face.
Of course, the results of the experiment could not satisfy Chen Yanting. If the Panlong Si in the past was an assassination weapon that was enough for ordinary weak women to use as a self-defense weapon, then the Panlong Si now, to use the words of his grandson holding the wooden box behind him, is a modified version of the spindle reel for lures.
The only difference is that one reels in a fishing line, while the other reels in a steel wire. They cannot be used or viewed as weapons at all.
"Here we are. Try it."
When they arrived at the sword-testing room, Chen Yanting took the box from the young man, handed it to Du Ruo, and made a gesture of invitation. After Du Ruo took it, he took a few steps back and waited for Du Ruo to perform.
Not only was he curious, the two women were equally curious. They stood together, expecting whether Du Ruo would give them a surprise.
Only the young man didn't pay much attention to Du Ruo, but glanced at Li Qiyao and Xiang Yuanyuan from time to time.
Du Ruo opened the box, and the new Panlong silk lay quietly in the box.
The color of the new version of Panlong silk has changed slightly. Although it is still covered with patterns, the color is silverier this time and does not have the low-key feeling of the past.
"The color has changed a little bit because the steel wire has been lengthened and the weight has also increased. So without making the bracelet bigger, the bracelet needs to be made thinner. So in order not to lose performance, some more precious materials have been added. So the color has changed a little bit. This is also what my grandson proposed. For the sake of performance, I also adopted it. The appearance and size have not changed much, but the weight has increased. There is no good way to deal with this. You can only adapt to it yourself."
Chen Yanting, who was standing behind him, seemed to see what Du Ruo was looking at, and explained from behind. Weapon forging is a very serious matter. Many warriors use a weapon for their entire lives. Even if it is damaged, they will try their best to make it fit the previous habits when recasting it. Especially for strange weapons like Panlongsi, if it is not explained in advance, the weight change may make the user trapped in his own trap, or even hurt himself, which is funny.
"Well, it's fine."
Du Ruo nodded to Chen Yanting and his grandson to show his approval. Although the color of the bracelet had changed, the impact was not big. As long as it was not too flashy, Du Ruo could still accept the current style.
Du Ruo had a very sharp sense and he knew right away that this Panlong silk was about a quarter heavier than before. This had no effect on Du Ruo and he didn't care.
Du Ruo grabbed the dragon's tail and pulled it, and a steel wire was pulled out. The steel wire was less than one-third of the previous size and was woven together from a number of tiny steel wires. Similarly, the color of this steel wire also had a bit more silver. From Du Ruo's eyesight, in terms of thickness, if these three steel wires were woven into one, it should be similar to the previous Panlong silk.
"The steel wire we used is also of a higher strength. Although the strength and toughness cannot be compared with the previous ones due to the size problem, the difference is not much. If you ask me to make a new quotation now, we may not accept this Panlong wire if it is less than 50,000."
Chen Yanting also gave an explanation, and finally said something half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Then I'm taking advantage."
Du Ruo smiled. After Chen Yanting said that, he would not give him only 35,000 next time.
"chop!!!"
After Du Ruo finished speaking, he clasped the dragon's tail with his fingers and flicked it. The dragon's tail flew out silently and was nailed to a solid wooden pillar five meters away. The huge force made the dragon's tail completely embedded in the pillar.
"good."
Du Ruo nodded. He had just used the dragon tail at such a fast speed, but there was no sound between the steel wire and the bracelet, which made Du Ruo very satisfied. The previous one actually made a slight sound, but Du Ruo's move was only in an instant and the battle was over, so the impact was not big. However, the new one made less noise, which naturally made Du Ruo more satisfied.
Chen Yanting on the side did not respond, but stared in a daze at the dragon's tail that was completely inserted into the wooden stake.
At this moment he understood why Du Ruo was confident that he could control the ten-meter-long Panlong silk.
This is not a simple concealed weapon technique. The metal dragon tail is connected to a steel wire. Du Ruo can easily penetrate so deep from five meters away. This is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do.
"Snapped!!"
Chen Yanting was still sighing when Du Ruo had already made a new move. Du Ruo waved his hand and the steel wire shook in the air.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Chen Yanting only felt that the steel wire flashed red light instead of silver light. The shaking seemed to carry a huge force, which actually caused the dragon's tail that shot into the solid wooden pillar to be driven and shot out of the solid wooden pillar horizontally in an instant. A piece of wood was actually pulled out of the solid wooden pillar by the dragon's tail and fell to the ground.
"This unscientific!!!"
Before Chen Yanting could scream in shock, his grandson had already spoken beside him. At this time, his grandson's attention was no longer on the two women. He stared at the solid wooden pillar with wide eyes, his tone full of disbelief.
It was a solid wooden pillar. In his eyes, it was a miracle that the metal dragon's tail could be driven into it. He had touched the dragon's tail before, and it was not a sharp weapon. Although it was flat, it was not sharp.
What's even more incredible is that Du Ruo was able to make the dragon's tail come out horizontally from the wooden pillar by shaking the steel wire. If it were him, he might not be able to pull it out even by force, let alone using horizontal force without any leverage.
But no one gave him an explanation, and Du Ruo did not stop his actions.
The five-meter-long steel wire seemed to come alive in Du Ruo's hands, flashing red light and dancing in the air like a python, directly whipping the multiple wooden stakes and human-shaped targets in front of it, leaving behind completely unscientific knife-like marks.
"Drink~"
Du Ruo suddenly retracted the steel wire, then shouted softly and threw the dragon's tail out again with his yang hand.
The dragon's tail did not stop with the five-meter steel wire, and continued to move forward with the dragon buckle and the five-meter steel wire behind it. Then Du Ruo shook his wrist and transmitted the strength into the steel wire. The flying dragon's tail actually turned in the air and shuttled between the wooden pillar and the human-shaped target in a way that no one could understand.
"Ding ~"
With a crisp sound, the dragon's tail passed through a wooden human-shaped target and then connected with the steel wire. The slight sound of metal collision was heard by everyone as they held their breath and watched carefully.
At this time, in the space in front of Du Ruo, steel wire was wrapped around a solid wooden stake and two human-shaped targets, and red light occasionally flashed on the silver steel wire.
"drink!!!"
Du Ruo roared and pulled his arm back, and the Panlong silk on his wrist was also retracted, and the wrapped steel wire suddenly tightened.
