Chapter 535 Hunter Project
"The power looks pretty good. It has suction properties and can locate enemies." Xiao Ye No. 4 was holding a recording board, recording the data of the Void Grenade.
Beibei looked at Xu Sanshi, who was stuck in the ceiling, and silently reached out and picked up the second grenade marked "Burning".
They attacked my teammates.
Xu Sanshi used a little force to pull himself out of the recess in the ceiling.
"Wow, this thing is awesome. It has a two-stage explosion, which can catch enemies off guard. If you throw this at an enemy, as long as they stick to it, it can cause chaos." Xu Sanshi patted the debris on the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield.
"Next one is coming!" Beibei shouted.
Xu Sanshi got into position, shield in front of him, and said, "Come on!"
"This thing will have a continuous burning effect, Sanshi, be careful to use your soul power to protect yourself," Xiaoye No. 4 reminded him.
Beibei threw a "burning" grenade at Xu Sanshi.
The moment the grenade collided with the Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield, the outer shell exploded, and two fire snakes emerged, firmly coiling around the Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield.
Xu Sanshi first tried to swing the shield forcefully, but found that the flames were extremely sticky. Even though his physical strength had reached the Soul Emperor level, he still couldn't extinguish the flames on the shield.
"Use your water-attribute soul power to dispel it and test your soul power value," Beibei reminded her.
Xu Sanshi nodded, and water-attribute energy emerged on the surface of the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, attempting to isolate the flames.
The flames seemed to have taken root, making them extremely difficult to remove. In the end, Xu Sanshi used a full 30% of his soul power to forcibly extinguish the flames produced by the scorching grenade.
"It seems the saliva from the roasted duck has a great effect. When mixed with the charcoal powder, it produces a special mucus that makes the flames of the fire steel even more intense." Xiao Ye No. 4 said as he made notes, then signaled to Bei Bei to prepare for the final grenade test.
Beibei picked up a grenade labeled "Arc" and asked, "Nanxiao, how do you plan to price these three new grenades?"
Ye Nanxiao made two types of soul tools: one type was sold to the public to earn funds for the Tang Sect, and the other type was used internally by the Tang Sect to supply its disciples with their missions or to find soul rings to enhance their strength.
Beibei was delighted to see the three grenades and considered designating them for exclusive use within the Tang Clan.
"These three grenades represent three factions: Arc, Burn, and Void. Each faction has at least two sets of blueprints. At least one set of each faction's grenade will be sold, but its power and scale will definitely be slightly reduced," Xiao Ye No. 4 explained.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei exchanged a glance and simultaneously recalled a future plan that Ye Nanxiao had once devised for the inner disciples: the Hunter Plan.
Ye Nanxiao gave Tang Ya a suggestion: Tang Sect can no longer just do the business of hidden weapons and be a sect that manufactures hidden weapons. It needs to open up and accept commissions from the outside world, just like other sects, so as to increase Tang Sect's sources of income.
In the past, the Tang Clan was high-profile and protected itself. Its disciples focused solely on making hidden weapons and refused to accept outside employment. Back then, apart from the disciples who went out to purchase food and resources, the rest of the Tang Clan stayed within the sect.
The Hunter Project, similar to Shrek Academy's Inner Court Inspection Team, allows inner disciples to form their own teams to carry out missions. The difference between Tang Sect and Shrek Academy is that Tang Sect charges a fee.
"Is this the prototype of the weapon in the Hunter Project?" Xu Sanshi asked.
Xiao Ye No. 4 nodded. "This is one of the first weapons we've launched. It's easy to carry and has decent power."
Beibei gripped the grenade tightly, aimed it at Xu Sanshi's head, and threw it.
"Holy crap! Beibei, you actually want to smash my handsome face!" Xu Sanshi hurriedly raised his shield. His good brother used his soul power when he threw the grenade, and the grenade was as fast as a soul-guided ray.
The arc grenade struck the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, instantly shattering it. The outer shell disintegrated into countless fine iron needles, which scattered across the shield's surface.
Immediately afterwards, the large cluster of electric light was attracted by the iron needle, expanded and grew larger, and swallowed Xu Sanshi whole.
The test subject that Xiao Ye No. 4 took out was a level three soul tool, which could not harm the thick-skinned Xu Sanshi, but Xu Sanshi was still paralyzed by the electric shock.
After testing the three grenades, Bei Bei stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "These three types of grenades have a surprise effect on both agility-type and power-type Soul Masters. Plus, they can be used without using Soul Power, so they will definitely become best-selling Soul Tools in the Tang Sect. I just wonder, Nan Xiao, how long did it take you to make these three types of grenades?"
"On average, it takes an hour to make one grenade, but with an assembly line, the speed should be twice as fast." Xiao Ye No. 4 squatted on the ground, his hand movements creating afterimages as a large amount of data was written into the recording plate.
It took Xu Sanshi a full cup of tea's time to recover before the intense numbness in his hands and feet subsided, and his movements became smoother.
"Goodness, this numbness is too strong! It's all your fault, Beibei! My hairstyle has turned into an afro!" Xu Sanshi put away his martial spirit, touched his frizzy hair with both hands, and said with a displeased look.
"I actually think you look quite pleasing to the eye. You're constantly being struck by my lightning, and I thought you'd developed a resistance. But it seems your turtle shell hasn't improved at all." Beibei took a comb out of her storage bracelet and tossed it to Xu Sanshi.
Xu Sanshi grabbed the comb and vigorously combed his spiky hair. "If you can't fix my hairstyle, I'm not finished with you today!"
He has a date tonight!
How can I face anyone looking like this?
Beibei ignored Xu Sanshi and turned to Xiao Ye No. 4, asking, "What price are you planning to set?"
Xiao Ye No. 4 gestured to Bei Bei, "You and the sect leader should keep track of the costs."
Beibei had guessed that Xiao Ye No. 4 would say that, as expected of Ye Nanxiao's clone, but the pricing issue still needs to be discussed with Tang Ya.
"Do you have the blueprints for the next two sets of grenades? Let me see them?" Beibei asked.
Xiao Ye No. 4 handed the blueprints for the weapon he was about to develop to Bei Bei and continued inputting data.
After observing for a while, Beibei slowly asked, "Among these two weapon sets, are there any other matching weapons?"
He noticed that the text descriptions on the design drawings included two codenames: "Titan" and "Warfare".
Xiao Ye No. 4 paused for a moment while holding the pen, then nodded. "Yes, there are other weapons, but they are not part of the hunter's plan."
Beibei frowned slightly. If it wasn't part of the hunter's plan, then it meant it wasn't prepared for the inner disciples of the Tang Sect.
As far as Bei Bei knows, the only entities that have allowed Ye Nanxiao to personally design and assemble weapons are the Tang Sect and the Shrek Academy's inspection team.
Who else could get Ye Nanxiao to personally design and equip weapons?
"Is it an order from Xingluo?" Beibei asked.
"There's a squad with the main body over at Xingluo." Xiao Ye No. 4 didn't say anything more.
The latest novel is first published here!
"I see." Beibei closed her eyes slightly, put the blueprint in her hand back to Xiaoye No. 4.
Ye Nanxiao spent some time in Xingluo and designed soul tools for the Xingluo royal family, a fact known to all members of the original Shrek Academy team.
With Ye Nanxiao's talent for soul tools and his business acumen, he must have opened up a commercial channel in Xingluo.
However, opening a commercial channel is no easy task, and Beibei knows all too well how difficult it was when the Tang Clan was first rebuilt.
Even with Shrek Academy as a close ally and supporter, Ye Nanxiao initially suppressed the sects using commercial tactics, but fortunately, he managed to resolve these issues one by one.
Moreover, taking a share of the soul tool market in Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire, is no easy task; it will inevitably involve bloodshed and hardship.
The reason why the Tang Clan can now chat and laugh with many sect clients and enjoy tea and wine is because the Tang Clan has powerful methods and strong fists.
Beibei couldn't imagine how much pressure Ye Nanxiao was carrying all by himself.
"This soul-guided shield that can be used for counterattacks looks pretty good to me. If it's convenient, keep one for me. I'll use it to play around with that jerk," Beibei said with a smile.
Xiao Ye No. 4 made an OK sign.
Having ordered a new toy, Beibei happily skipped away like a child.
As for Ye Nanxiao's faction, he had no intention of asking about them. He knew that Ye Nanxiao would let them know if he felt it necessary.
Just as Xu Sanshi has the Xuanming Sect behind him, and he himself has the Dragon God Douluo behind him, they also have forces in their hands besides the Tang Sect.
After Beibei left, Xiaoye No. 4 spent half an hour collecting data on the three types of grenades. The small, easy-to-deploy, and powerful grenades would be the preferred weapons for the Hunter Project.
"The hunter's data is fine, so Titan and Battle Mage can be put into testing now." Little Leaf No. 4 added a reminder to the logboard, indicating that the initial testing of the main hunter had been completed.
"Titan is expected to require the longest testing period and has the strongest overall capabilities. We'll place it in Audu and leave the battle tactics to Shadowstream."
Xiao Ye No. 4 was allocating resources in his mind. The team's upgrade time had to be raced against time, otherwise, who knew when an accident might happen.
"Over there with Shadow Stream, it seems that Number One now has Feng Shiliu and Feng Shiqi under his command, and they want to get Number One moving."
Feng Shiliu and Feng Shiqi are inseparable. They are aloof and have strong execution skills, but they only have a superficial understanding of soul tools and cannot keep up with the progress of the research project. In addition, the other puppeteers are busy with their own things, so the task of monitoring the progress can only fall on Xiao Ye No. 1.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ye No. 1, far away in Xingluo, simply turned himself into a large block of ice to avoid trouble from a certain princess. He would make a sound when needed and play dead when not, and this method was surprisingly effective.
However, given the current situation, the only option is for Xiao Ye No. 1 to revert to human form.
"Hopefully, Number One won't suddenly come up with some new and strange ideas again?" Little Ye No. 4 thought worriedly, since Little Ye No. 1 had also inherited Ye Nanxiao's brainstem deficiency.
