Chapter 337 Red Lotus's Troubles!
"Is this difficult?" Xiao Yu asked doubtfully.
"Hmph! It's more than just difficult!"
Seeing Xiao Yu's matter-of-fact attitude, Dongdong was immediately indignant. She put her hands on her hips and said:
"Lord of the City, do you know that even with my sister's skill in mechanisms, it took her several months to open the fifth mechanism? You opened it as soon as you got it, what do you say?"
You should know... once this mechanism is used, it's enough to easily kill a fifth-tier expert!
However... when my sister uses it, she might accidentally hurt herself.
However, the city lord was able to control it with ease and without suffering any backlash.
"I see." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu suddenly understood.
Actually, to be honest, his mechanical skills are no better than A Qiu's.
Because... he didn't open it using ordinary mechanical techniques either.
Instead, he used his energy perception talent again. With a sweep of his mental energy, he could see all the mechanisms clearly, at least the ones on the outside.
Once you figure out how the mechanism works, opening it is easy.
Of course... the internal situation is still a mess.
There seems to be some kind of energy source interfering, which is impossible to detect.
However, after opening more mechanisms...
The secrets within will eventually be thoroughly investigated.
By then, we might be able to invent reconnaissance kites (unmanned reconnaissance aircraft), training puppets (robotics), repeating crossbow carts (mobile repeating crossbows), armored vehicles...
That would be amazing!
In addition, the principles behind levers, gears, pulleys, etc., in these mechanisms.
Besides being useful in combat, it will also greatly improve one's quality of life.
"Lord City Lord! Lord Black Horse says he has something to discuss with you." At this moment, the voice of a maid rang out at the door.
"Let him in," Xiao Yu replied.
A moment later, in the city lord's office, Black Horse handed over the new list of patrol officers.
Xiao Yu glanced at it casually and nodded slightly.
The management personnel of the patrol police superintendent had already been determined beforehand.
These people now are candidates for grassroots administrative positions.
As long as you're in charge of getting things done and don't have any moral flaws, there shouldn't be any problems.
"By the way, Lord City Lord, since the police are responsible for maintaining order, shouldn't they be equipped with weapons?" Black Horse asked, remembering something. "What kind of weapons should they be equipped with?"
"Weapons? We really should think about that." Xiao Yu nodded seriously.
In my previous life, when police officers dealt with criminals, they were similar to soldiers, carrying guns.
Otherwise... what can we use to stop violence? Hand-to-hand combat?
However, the violent incidents targeted by the patrol police superintendent are on a completely different level from those of the city defense forces.
Equipping everyone with a powerful crossbow, almost a divine weapon, would be going too far.
Not to mention that many of them did not deserve to die... Just considering the personnel of the police superintendent, they are no less than those of the city defense army, so equipping each man with a powerful crossbow would be a huge expense.
"Have it!"
Xiao Yu inadvertently noticed the hidden arrow on the table.
The power of this hidden arrow can vary greatly.
Moreover, due to its small size, the manufacturing cost is relatively low.
Each officer was equipped with a low-end hidden blade, coated with a paralyzing toxin.
In this way, if a violent incident occurs, the opponent can be taken down with a single arrow.
Without hesitation, Xiao Yu immediately called over the two sisters, A Qiu and Dong Dong, and told them his idea.
"This weapon is perfect for maintaining order!" Black Horse's eyes lit up when he heard Xiao Yu say that.
He felt that police superintendents should not be without weapons, but there was no need for them to be too lethal.
The hidden arrow that the city lord mentioned is just the right power. With this weapon, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort!
"Mass production of a large number of hidden blades is not a problem, but..."
As for Xiao Yu's words, A Qiu pondered the efficiency of her two sisters and nodded, saying, "If we need fifty sets, it might take half a month to finish."
"I understand, I will have Chu Ling Shuang assist you." Xiao Yu nodded to indicate that he understood.
The reason the two sisters were slow in making the hidden blades was because their forging skills were very limited.
After all... mechanisms and weapon forging, while complementary, are also distinct.
Given their talent and age, the sisters have already devoted most of their energy to mastering mechanical arts, leaving them with only a small portion of their time to learn forging. Currently, both sisters are only level 3 silver-level forging masters.
The only way is to slowly wear it down with time.
Only then can they become like their father, a master of both mechanical engineering and forging.
"With her help, there won't be any problems. It should be all done in about three to five days." The two sisters assured each other when they heard that Chu Ling Shuang was being sent to help.
In the past two days, Chu Ling Shuang has often come over to discuss hidden weapons with them.
The two sisters also learned forging from Chu Ling Shuang.
Both sides admired each other's talent in their respective fields and felt a mutual respect.
Now, we have a relationship that is both teacher and friend.
It was soon noon. During lunch, Xiao Yu suddenly noticed that the red-haired girl was holding her chopsticks but hadn't touched them for a long time, looking troubled and conflicted. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
"Oh, no, not at all."
Honglian then realized what was happening and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Isn't today the gravity chamber officially open? Chenlong and the others have spent quite a bit, each of them spending several hundred merit points."
"That's good. Tell me about everyone's training in the gravity chamber," Xiao Yu said with a smile.
He didn't think that a few hundred merit points per person per day was expensive.
After all... he had equipped all of these people with 3rd or 4th tier quasi-divine crossbows.
With a powerful crossbow, you can easily earn hundreds or even thousands of merit points by going hunting every few days.
Therefore, anyone who is at least Tier 4 now has over 10,000 merit points at home.
A few hundred a day is nothing to them.
Besides, as long as you can improve your strength, earning merit points will be easier.
"That's definitely good news, judging from today's income from the gravity chamber." Hearing Xiao Yu's question, Honglian immediately pulled out her notebook from her sleeve, turned to the gravity chamber page, and said:
"The dark horse has already reached the third floor today, and with 30 times the gravity, it has lasted for nearly an hour. Danai, Chenlong, and Tienan have also entered the third floor, and each of them can last for about half an hour."
These few people alone consumed over a thousand merit points each.
However, their improvement in strength is also undeniable.
"Oh, that much? That's quite an improvement." Xiao Yu nodded with a smile.
The Dark Horse and Wild Wolves teams consist of over a hundred people, the weakest of whom are at least Tier 3.
Over the years, they have ventured into human-controlled forbidden zones multiple times and earned a considerable amount of energy stones.
Before joining Longcheng, over a hundred people had already spent hundreds of thousands of yuan.
After joining Dragon City, I considered that merit points had a higher purchasing power than energy stones.
Therefore, all of the more than one hundred people directly exchanged all their energy stones for merit points.
This brought Xiao Yu an additional million energy points.
The dark horse alone has accumulated as many as 15 merit points!
He instantly transformed himself, surpassing all the early high-ranking officials of Dragon City, including Chenlong and Tienan.
He became the richest man in Longcheng.
With over 100,000 merit points in hand, one naturally wouldn't care about spending them.
The fifth and sixth-tier powerhouses in Danai's hunting team each had tens of thousands of coins.
Chenlong, Tienan, and the others had relatively few merit points, so it's surprising they were so willing to spend them.
All I can say is that the effects of the gravity chamber left them in awe.
After using the gravity chamber for training, no one wanted to train normally anymore because the speed was too slow!
"That's great. If this continues, it won't be long before each of them breaks through a major realm. At that time... the overall strength of Dragon City will also increase several times over." Xiao Yu highly appreciated everyone's enthusiasm for working hard to improve their strength.
Each member of the family has a large number of merit points. The existence of the gravity chamber can not only help them quickly improve their strength, but also allow the merit points to circulate.
"It's really good, but the main problem is... with the sudden increase of several hundred people in Dragon City during this period, updating the merit point system has become quite cumbersome, and we've been struggling to keep up," Honglian said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"Brother, to be honest, it's my fault. I've been a bit lax lately."
