Chapter V Preparation of Weapons and Living Supplies
Wencheng Amusement City is right next to the University City. Li Mu and Jiang Mingyue played happily in the amusement park for a long time. When they knew that the amusement park was about to close at around nine o'clock in the evening, the two of them came out with unsatisfied feelings.
After coming out and having a quick bite to eat, Jiang Mingyue sent Li Mu to the parking lot of the snack street in the university town: "Li Mu, since graduation, I haven't had as much fun as I do now for a long time."
She took off her seat belt and turned to look at Li Mu: "Thank you for accompanying me to find some missing things."
Li Mu smiled and said, "How do you want to thank me? Why don't you go home with me? I just bought a bed recently. It's big and comfortable. Do you want to try it?"
Jiang Mingzhu laughed dumbly: "Okay, you can lead the way."
Li Mu: "..."
He suddenly didn't know how to continue: "No, I'm just making fun of you, are you serious? Then I won't play anymore!"
Jiang Mingzhu rolled her eyes at Li Mu: "You have a lustful heart, but you don't have the courage! Where did your previous courage go?"
Li Mu said with a smile: "In the past, I didn't realize the power of money, so the ignorant were fearless. Later, I was hit by the power of money, and I realized that whether there is money or not, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground. Naturally, I lose courage."
."
Jiang Mingyue snorted: "What else are you afraid of?"
In college, Li Mu was full of spirit and never wanted to be inferior to others. He had a strong personality and was not afraid of anyone. Faced with the oppression of Jiang Mingyue's mother and the threats of social gangsters, he still chose to fight and never bowed down.
Now Li Mu claimed to be timid, which made Jiang Mingyue very uncomfortable. She sighed, a little disappointed: "Li Mu, we have all grown up."
Li Mu said: "Yes, we have all grown up."
He looked through the car window at a slim girl passing by. His eyes slowly followed the girl's twisting figure and murmured: "The little post-00s generation has grown up...
ā¦ā
Seeing Li Mu's distracted expression, Jiang Mingyue immediately became angry: "What are you looking at? Your saliva is all over the floor!"
Li Mu hurriedly wiped the corner of his mouth: "Is there any? Is there any? Nonsense, how could I drool."
Jiang Mingyue laughed and scolded: "Men are really just big pigs, and none of them are good!"
She raised her foot and lightly kicked Li Mu: "Get out of here, old gangster!"
Li Mu rolled out of the car with an aggrieved look on his face: "Hey, gangsters are just gangsters, why bother adding the word 'old'? Let me tell you, I am old at heart! What stirs in my voice is still the heart of eighteen years old
!ā
Jiang Mingzhu made a sound: "You still have the heart of an eighteen-year-old? Can you still be hardened now?"
Li Mu was furious: "Hey, do you want to give it a try? I promise to kill you, throw down your armor and call dad!"
Jiang Mingzhu smiled, started the car, and drove out: "Remember to go to the class reunion next week."
Li Mu shook his head and said: "Then I'd better not go. The class reunion is not interesting. It is a place for you rich people to show off. If I go, I will make myself uncomfortable."
Jiang Mingzhu ignored Li Mu and drove away slowly: "I will send you the time and address later."
Before Li Mu could say anything, Jiang Mingzhu's car had already driven away.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and my personality is getting stronger and stronger."
Li Mu watched Jiang Mingzhu's car disappear into the night, shook his head, found his own car, and drove out.
He and Jiang Mingyue will never go back to the past.
He has his life circle and hobbies, and Jiang Mingzhu also has hers. The two circles are incompatible, and the differences in lifestyle and concepts will become bigger and bigger.
In a large family, it is difficult for children to make their own decisions about their marriage, and Jiang Mingyue will be no exception.
The key point is that no matter when, Li Mu always likes an eighteen-year-old girl, and Jiang Mingyue is only one year younger than Li Mu, she is already twenty-seven...
The next morning, the calls from several banks almost annoyed Li Mu to death, so he directly set his phone to silent.
When he had no money, it was extremely difficult to get a loan. Now that he has money, there is an endless stream of people asking him for loans to buy financial products.
This made Li Mu doubt the purpose of the existence of banks. The more money you are short of, the harder it is to get a loan. The richer you are, the more people will lend you money.
Iām so rich, why should I pay back the loan?
"Teacher Li is very busy at work."
At this time, Li Mu was in a blacksmith shop on the outskirts of Wencheng. A sturdy blacksmith was smoking a cigarette and lazily saying to Li Mu: "I've been receiving a lot of calls right now."
Li Mu looked unhappy: "I just made some money recently, and some guys from the bank started to contact me."
The blacksmith said: "Then what you earn must not be small money, otherwise you won't alarm the bank. No wonder you are so wealthy this time and insist on me building things myself."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's get started."
Everyone has his or her own circle. In addition to his work circle, Li Mu also has his own small circle of hobbies.
He likes ancient martial arts. In addition to practicing boxing and kicking, he also likes to dance with swords and guns. He is also a member of an archery club and plays many tricks. This is one of the reasons why he has not had a girlfriend for a long time.
When a man has many hobbies that can relieve his loneliness, the attraction of women to him will be much reduced. With swords as companions and bows and arrows to play with, what more women do you need?
Women will only affect the speed at which he draws his sword!
He likes to play with swords, but the swords he bought online are basically junk items and are very difficult to use. Later he learned that there are blacksmiths near Wencheng, so he often comes to the blacksmith shop to make some useful weapons.
.
In the past, the weapons he wanted were non-shooting ones, just for practice and fun, but the weapons he was building today were different. He needed to build real weapons that could be used in actual combat.
The world of the Great Yin Dynasty was not peaceful. Not only were there gangsters who bullied the market, but there were also huge forces composed of gang members. The slightest offense could lead to revenge. It was a bit like the society described in martial arts novels.
For the sake of his own safety, Li Mu had to get some weapons for self-protection. Otherwise, he would be unarmed and would have no choice but to run away when he met someone from the gang.
In fact, the best way is to get a few guns. I believe that few people can avoid their bullets.
However, selling guns is an extremely serious matter in the Xia Kingdom. Li Mu has no way to obtain guns, so he can only get some cold weapons to carry with him. He is thinking about going abroad when he has time to find a way to get some guns for protection.
I came to the blacksmith shop today just to make a few usable things.
He originally wanted to make a single-edged sword, but the blacksmith was not willing to do it, saying that he could not make a single-edged sword. It was too dangerous, and if someone was killed, he would be implicated.
Li Mu had no choice but to think about it for a long time, and also wanted to embarrass the blacksmith, so he asked the blacksmith to make himself an iron gun and a pair of tile-faced maces. If a solid iron gun were to be built, it would weigh at least dozens of kilograms.
, it looks like it is used for exercise, and it is more likely to be used as a decoration. Naturally, there is no need to worry about using it as a murder weapon.
The double mace is not a sharp thing at all. After it is made, it will definitely weigh a lot. It is estimated that Li Mu can only keep it at home as a handicraft. It will be difficult for normal people to use it, unless he has extremely strong strength.
.
Although the blacksmith was reluctant to take this job, Li Mu insisted on letting him make it, and he could not refuse. As for the tile-faced double mace, that thing is a rare item. There are very few people who play with such weapons in modern society, and the blacksmith himself has not made it.
Live this life.
But I can't admit that I can't do it, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
Therefore, he offered a high price to Li Mu so that Li Mu would quit in spite of the difficulties.
Unexpectedly, Li Mu had made a fortune recently and was so wealthy that he agreed to the blacksmith's offer without hesitation. This left the blacksmith in a difficult position and had no choice but to bite the bullet and get started.
First, I set the optimal ratio of the weapon's handshake and center of gravity, and then measured the length, pattern requirements and other details. Finally, I called friends in the industry to ask about their experience in building it, and then started building it.
Five or six people in the blacksmith shop worked for a whole day, and almost became exhausted, before they made a pair of four-foot-long steel maces, a solid steel gun, more than thirty darts, and a dagger for Li Mu.
Li Mu received 60,000 yuan.
In fact, if it were to make a sword, it would take less than ten days and a half to make it. However, the steel gun and mace that Li Mu wanted were both stupid and bulky things. As long as the materials were available, the temperature was reached, and the strength was reached.
, it can be built quickly.
However, it still took a lot of effort to create the double-sided tiles. The main reason was that the shape of the thing was strange and the concave shape was difficult to get, so all the time was spent on it.
"Not bad!"
Li Mu took the steel gun in his hand and shook it gently. The alloy steel gun, which was about three meters tall, buzzed as he shook it, and the tip of the gun trembled slightly.
"Fuck!"
The blacksmith looked horrified: "Are you still a human being? How strong is this?"
This alloy steel gun, which is as thick as a duck egg and three meters long, weighs at least more than 70 kilograms. It may not be easy for an adult to hold it with one hand. Now, in Li Mu's hand, it can almost shake out flowers. This is simply not human power.
All you can do.
"To be honest, brother, I had an adventure recently. I took a legendary elixir and my strength increased two or three times, so I made a few weapons to try my hand at it."
Li Mu swung the steel gun a few times, and felt that it was easy to do. He smiled and said, "I'll try the double mace again."
He had actually practiced the double mace with a martial artist for fun before, but at that time it was purely for fun. The double mace was too heavy and could only be used to practice grip strength and the flexibility of his hands.
Being able to use an iron mace or an iron whip to his advantage, sword practice would not be a problem, but now that his strength has increased sharply, Li Mu really wants to use the two maces as weapons.
Compared with swords, weapons such as whips and maces are much more destructive. When facing the enemy head-on, whips and maces are more powerful than swords. Especially on the battlefield, long weapons such as spears and spears are the mainstream, and ordinary swords are useless at all.
, whips, maces, hammers and other blunt weapons are the real powerful things.
As a descendant of ancient martial arts, Li Mu naturally knew that those things were practical and those were just showpieces, so he asked the blacksmith to make steel guns and maces.
Li Mu thrust the steel gun into the ground. The handle of the steel gun suddenly broke through the concrete floor, penetrated more than ten centimeters into the ground, and was inserted straight in front of the blacksmith shop. Spider-web-like cracks opened in all directions from the position of the gun handle.
.
After inserting the steel gun, Li Mu picked up the two steel maces, waved his hands a few times, and said happily: "Not bad, the center of gravity is designed very well."
When the blacksmith saw this, he was furious: "Why did you damage the road in front of my door? Pay for it!"
Li Mu made a whirring sound with the two steel maces in his hands, and the sound of breaking wind was extremely shrill. He turned to look at the blacksmith: "What did you say?"
The blacksmith looked at the whining steel mace in Li Mu's hand, and his tone suddenly weakened: "It's wrong of you to do this! The ground at the door is damaged, which will affect my business."
Li Mu laughed and handed the two maces to the blacksmith: "Get me a mace scabbard to make it stronger, and a pouch for the big gun."
He took out his mobile phone and transferred 90,000 yuan to the blacksmith: "Okay, if you damage the ground, just pay for it. Is this enough?"
Seeing that Li Mu gave him an extra 30,000 yuan, the blacksmith suddenly became happy: "That's enough, that's enough. If you do this, I'll give you a long sword and a few small things."
He gave Li Mu a long sword that he had made a long time ago: "I must state in advance that if you use this sword to hurt someone, I will not admit that I gave it to you."
Li Mu drew out his long sword and saw that the sword was actually an open-edge sword with extremely beautiful patterns. He was immediately overjoyed: "Damn it, you guy said you didn't make an open-edge sword. It turns out you were just lying to me."
The blacksmith smiled and said, "If you have money, anything can be done easily."
Li Mu agreed: "That's true."
The blacksmith gave Li Mu a few more throwing knives and short knives, and then he started to drive away the guests: "It's already dark, and we've been busy all day, so I won't keep you here."
Li Mu smiled and scolded: "You don't recognize people after receiving money?"
However, it is indeed late now, it is already seven or eight o'clock in the evening. The blacksmiths have been busy for a whole day and are almost exhausted. Li Mu is too embarrassed to stay here all the time.
Immediately, he put all the weapons in the car and drove back to the city.
After returning home, Li Mu moved all the weapons into the house, and then went downstairs to take out his express delivery.
He had purchased several sets of stab-proof clothing online before. Today's express delivery is a few styles mailed by the manufacturer. These stab-proof clothing are lightweight and can be worn under clothes and used as small clothes, which can protect against ordinary swords.
attack.
But if you are hit by a blunt object, there is nothing you can do.
Therefore, for strong combat masters, blunt weapons are the most lethal weapons. No armor or helmet can withstand being hit hard by hammers and whips.
In addition, I also bought two bows and arrows.
I originally wanted to buy a crossbow, but it turned out that crossbows were controlled items and were extremely difficult to buy, so I had to settle for the next best thing and bought two bows and hundreds of arrows.
These things almost filled the entire basement.
After packing up everything, Li Mu fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, he drove again to purchase a large amount of daily necessities. Life in the Yin Dynasty was extremely inconvenient, and toilet paper, soap and other items were not available.
Because there is no glass in the room, mulberry paper is used to cover the window lattice, which makes the room too dim. The light of oil lamps and candles is also a bit dim at night.
Compared with modern society, the Great Yin Dynasty lacked many convenient things, such as matches, sports shoes, tires, springs, etc. These things were not available in the Great Yin Dynasty.
Li Mu is going to bring some things in life to the Great Yin Dynasty step by step in order to improve the quality of his life in the Great Yin Dynasty. Otherwise, living in that kind of society would really be a bit miserable.
After purchasing all the daily necessities, he packed them up and carried them to the room. After preparing the weapons and bows, Li Mu put on his wig and hood again and changed into ancient clothes.
As soon as he thought about it, the whole person and the things in the room disappeared in an instant.
