The Tree World Descends into Douluo Continent

Chapter 109 Tang San on the Assembly Line

Ning Fengzhi was about to say something when he heard Dugu Bo's voice transmission in his ears and immediately changed his tone.

"Okay, since this is your livelihood, I won't force you to do anything."

Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "But if that's the case, you need to show your sincerity. Just this insinuation is not enough to make me agree to your terms."

"Don't worry, senior. Since you didn't force me, I will show my sincerity." Tang San thought of his few assets and the scene where he and Xiao Wu were stopped at the auction house.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "I still have Zhuge's magic crossbow and sleeve arrows."

Ning Fengzhi nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Well, I'll pre-order 500 of each, and we'll calculate more if we need more later."

Although he had never seen these things, he acted politely as if he knew something about them.

"I have something important to do today so I need to leave for a while. Here are 500 gold soul coins, which is our verbal deposit. Please leave your address and I will have someone come to discuss cooperation with you later."

Considering that it was not appropriate for him to appear in front of Tang San for a long time, so as to avoid being exposed by passers-by, Ning Fengzhi pretended to remember something important and made up a random excuse.

"No problem, senior. I'm a student at Blue Lightning Academy. You can just send someone to the academy to find me." Tang San smiled and took the copper card handed over by Ning Fengzhi.

"Okay, then I'll leave first." Ning Fengzhi exchanged a few words of greeting and walked out of the auction hall with Jian Douluo.

Upon seeing this, Li Xun and Dugu Bo hurriedly chased after him.

"Brother, we are rich." Before leaving, Li Xun heard Xiao Wu's cheering voice and smiled.

Backstage of the auction house.

"Uncle Du, why are you and Xiaoxun here?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Dugu Bo and Li Xun with some confusion.

"Haha. I was out with Xiaoxun on some business, and I happened to pass by here, so I thought of taking him to see the world."

Dugu Bo didn't expect Ning Fengzhi would be the first to ask him. He couldn't help laughing and told a lie.

"Then why didn't you come forward when you saw me and Uncle Jian?" Ning Fengzhi saw the uncertainty in Dugu Bo's eyes and immediately asked Li Xun.

"Tang San and Xiao Wu were right beside you at the time, and I thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so Grandpa Dugu and I hid behind you the whole time."

Li Xun had experienced this kind of thing many times, so he could answer the questions fluently.

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Jian Douluo who couldn't suppress the smile and chose not to continue discussing this issue.

After paying the gold soul coins to the auction staff and handing Catwoman a piece of clothing, the few of them left the auction.

The headquarters of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect in Tiandou City.

"Xiao Xun, you just asked Uncle Du to send me a message, telling me to buy all the hidden weapons that Tang San can sell. What are your plans?"

Ning Fengzhi was a little puzzled: "These weapons are consumables. Even if there are 500 of each, they will eventually break down. Do we have to rely on Tang San to repair them in the future?"

"Let's not talk about the power of his other weapons. If he knows our identity one day, will he still provide repair services?"

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

When he learned that Tang San was not going to sell the production method, he was no longer prepared to buy it. It was the news conveyed by Dugu Bo that made him change his mind.

"Teacher, Tang San is not good at anything else, but he is reliable when it comes to hidden weapons."

Li Xun looked relaxed, not worried about the future at all: "I was just afraid that Tang San would know that you are my teacher, so I asked you to buy more at one time."

“Don’t get involved in the next transaction. Find someone you trust and arrange an identity from another force to conduct the transaction.” Tang San’s hidden weapon came from the Tang Sect’s Hidden Weapon Hundred Instructions, so needless to say, its quality was high.

Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is no longer threatened by the Soul Hunting Operation, considering the weak combat power of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect disciples, adding some appropriate means of attack can indeed help save lives.

Besides, the sect is so rich, what’s the point of saving it and not spending it.

Li Xun thought it was quite interesting that he could spend a little money to have Tang San work as an assembly line worker for him.

Thousands of hidden weapons, it would take a long time even with the speed of Thousand Hands Shura, right? Besides, his purpose was more than that.

"Teacher, you said that even if a hidden weapon made by one person has many secrets, if it is disassembled and analyzed by ten thousand people, can it be copied?" Li Xun took a sip of tea with a smile.

He had just been thinking about this problem.

Not to mention that things like Buddha's Wrath Lotus, Avalokitesvara's Tears, and Torrential Pear Blossom Needles are indeed difficult to replicate, but even if the designer added secret buckles to things like Zhuge's Divine Crossbow and Sleeve Arrows, are they really that exquisite?
What is the most distinctive ability of human beings from ancient times to the present? It is the ability to copy by brainstorming.

"Great!" Dugu Bo slapped the table.

"It's indeed feasible." Thinking of the various hidden weapons Tang San had used in Soto City, Jian Douluo nodded. The hidden weapons Tang San had used so far were indeed not very sophisticated.

"What if Tang San added something that was not in the blueprint during the process of assembling the hidden weapon?" Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly. He was not that optimistic.

Because from ancient times to the present, many things have disappeared in the long river of history because they cannot be replicated.

"Teacher, don't worry. No matter how many tricks he has, they are useless." Li Xun laughed, "With 500 finished products and parts design drawings, we have plenty of room for error."

It's just a mechanical hidden weapon, not some high-precision equipment. With sufficient funds and human wave tactics, it's no different from a beautiful woman wrapped in a quilt.

"What do you want to do?" Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment and gradually smiled.

He had indeed been blinded by the appearances of unknown things before, but if he thought about it carefully, all these things were actually nothing more than that.

"It's a waste of money." Li Xun took out a pen and paper and began to plan: "Since we have already done it, let's do our best. Let's build a factory with 20,000 people first. Then we can recruit top craftsmen from the mainland with high salaries."

"Among them, let's first list 10,000 excellent blacksmiths." Li Xun suddenly looked up when he wrote this: "Teacher, I heard that the best blacksmiths on the continent must come from the Haotian Sect. Is this rumor true?"

"That's true. Even if it's not, it must be closely related to the Haotian Sect." Ning Fengzhi nodded: "The most famous one is the Blacksmith Association."

"Then there's no need to take anti-theft measures." Li Xun thought for a moment: "Everything can be done with money."

Even if someone succeeds in stealing the skills, it will take many years to equip disciples on a large scale like the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Since it was many years away, he didn't need to worry. Besides, even if everyone had a Zhuge Divine Crossbow now, he wouldn't be the one to worry.

"Recruit another 5,000 carpenters and 2,000 people who like to do strange and ingenious things. Also recruit 500 painters." Li Xun wrote this and thought for a moment: "Recruit another 2,500 street children to train."

"Teacher, do you think this staff composition is okay?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Just do it according to your idea. If you feel it's not enough, you can add more."

The number of 20,000 people sounds scary, but the personnel expenses are actually not that high.

In a whole year, there might not be a single slave girl worth anything.

Seeing the teacher nod, Li Xun smiled, then thought of the gold soul coins that Tang San might get from this transaction, and the smile slowly faded.

No, I have to find a way to get the money back.
