Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 641 Three Top-Tier Armory

Xu Jiujiu nodded at this moment.

Chen Ping's words were indeed correct. Rather than dealing with Xu Tianran, who was armed to the teeth and was still a Contra Douluo himself, dealing with the old emperor was clearly a better choice.

In recent years, Xu Tianran has launched too many purges in order to consolidate his power as crown prince. Countless princes with real power hate Xu Tianran to the bone, as clearly mentioned in the original work.

Although Chen Ping was unsure of the extent of power these princes could achieve, he was clear on one thing: Xu Tianran was quite wary of them, and now Xu Tianran was on the verge of officially ascending the throne.

These princes couldn't possibly be unaware of Xu Tianran's vengeful and ruthless nature, like a wolf or hyena.

Therefore, without this opportunity, they might only be able to lie low until Xu Tianran ascends the throne and is completely purged. But if Xu Jiujiu and Vina give them such an opportunity, they will definitely cause quite a stir, Chen Ping is certain of that.

Anyway, this plan couldn't possibly be worse than the brain-dead story in the original novel where a dozen or so titled Douluo assassinated Xu Tianran right in front of Long Xiaoyao. Therefore, Chen Ping felt no burden at all when he gave such a strategic suggestion.

"We need some time to develop a plan. We'll meet with your senior alumna tomorrow to discuss the specific details."

The two women exchanged a glance, clearly more inclined to use the intelligence and plan provided by Chen Ping, as it was far safer than trying to figure it out on their own.

Finding a way to shift the blame to Xu Tianran is a highly technical task, requiring a meticulous plan.

When Chen Ping heard what the two women said, he simply smiled and nodded. After seeing the two women off, he turned his gaze to the Sun and Moon Palace.

If Chen Ping remembered correctly, the Sun Moon Empire had three top-tier armories.

One of them was the arsenal beneath Mingde Hall, which was originally described as a day of destruction where the sun and moon lost their light, but has now been completely looted by him and now contains sixteen level-nine fixed artillery shells.

As for the second top-tier armory, it's the one Chen Ping is currently eyeing, the one whose trail can only be found through Chen An's connection. It's guarded by a prince trusted by Xu Tianran, and its internal reserves of military-grade rare metals amount to tens of thousands of tons!

These rare metals are not particularly rare, but the quantity is enormous, and this is only one of the three sections of this armory.

Chen Ping was drooling with envy over the reserves here, but he couldn't come up with a way to steal all of these treasures no matter how hard he tried.

Even if we used coal trains from Earth, each carriage could carry 70 tons, and a train would consist of 30 carriages, with a total load of only 2,100 tons. It would take five such trains to completely haul it away. Even the Eiffel Tower weighs only a little over 7,000 tons.

Therefore, Chen Ping was extremely conflicted about this issue.

As for the third top-tier treasure vault of the Sun and Moon, it is naturally the treasure vault in the Imperial Palace. The original work says that the second treasure vault, which contains tens of thousands of tons of rare metals, does not contain a single fixed-mount artillery shell of level seven or above because these things are all under the Imperial Palace.

emmmmmm, it's under the palace.

When Chen Ping first saw this scene, his cerebellum almost shrunk. He couldn't understand why the Sun Moon Empire liked to hide its most powerful weapons under its own rear end.

However, if the opportunity really comes in the future, Chen Ping wouldn't mind trying to find some good treasures in the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace—I can't do what the Body Sect makes.
After the tunnel war launched by the Body Sect, Chen Ping believed that the Sun Moon Empire would strengthen its underground defenses, and that was indeed the case.

The key question is how much you can strengthen underground defenses.

Having figured out his next objective, Chen Ping quickly appeared outside the Mingyue Hotel after nightfall.

As Chen Ping's research into mirage shells deepened, he became more adept at various operations.

At least in terms of stealth, he's quite skilled at it now.

A few minutes after leaving the hotel, in a secluded corner, Chen Ping, shrouded in a black robe, gradually revealed his face—a face skilled in singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball. A short while later, a figure peeked in—it was Chen An, the manager of the Golden Hall.

"Young Master Kun."

Upon seeing Chen Ping, Chen An immediately jogged over and bowed in greeting.

Having witnessed the Mingdu Soul Instructor Elite Competition, his respect for Chen Ping was now entirely from the bottom of his heart.

Whether it was Chen Ping's formidable strength displayed in that competition or his strange power that could make people rejuvenate, it was enough to make Chen An wholeheartedly serve him.

"Hmm, I heard you're going to give me a big gift today." Chen Ping's deep voice carried a hint of pleasure. "How is it?"

Chen An quickly took out a form and handed it over with both hands: "It's almost done. Here's the form. Please take a look."

"Not bad, more than I expected." Chen Ping glanced at it casually.

"But if you want more from me, this number is barely passing."

Chen An smiled wryly and said, "Young Master Kun, I have done everything I can. You have no idea how scarce rare metals are right now."

"All the items on this list are prohibited from sale even within the alliance, and have ceased circulation on the black market."

"The bigwigs up there said that the value of these things will definitely increase two or three times in the near future."

"I was able to get these because a friend of mine is a high-ranking official in charge of warehouse management. That's how I was able to keep a small portion for myself and offer it to you."

"A warehouse? More like a strategic arms depot, isn't it?" Chen Ping looked at Chen An with a half-smile. "As long as you can get your hands on the stuff, I don't care where you got it from. You must have made quite a bit of money by now, right?"

"Keep working hard and keep going. I'll give you everything you want in the future. Soon you'll understand that money is just a number. There are so many things in this world that can make you more intoxicated than money."

"Get everything ready as soon as you get back. You'll definitely get your share of the benefits once it arrives."

“Okay.” Chen An nodded. “Young Master Kun, I have an idea. In a few days, the day after the semi-finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, our Mingdu Elite Soul Master Tournament will hold its finals.”

“When the finals begin, all the high-ranking members of our Xishui Alliance will go to watch, which will be the time when the warehouse is the emptiest. Let’s meet here again. I’ll have someone deliver the goods, and you can send someone here to inspect them.”

"We'll settle the money and goods on time, and neither of us will be there. Even if the warehouse does come to light in the future, they won't suspect you. What do you think?"

A faint smile appeared on Chen Ping's lips: "You're good, very meticulous, which pleases me. Let's do it this way. Be careful and quick, pay attention to your safety, and go back."

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, sir."

Chen An was thrilled and excited to have gained Chen Ping's approval.

He quickly turned around and, after realizing that no one was around, quietly left.

What Chen An didn't know was that Chen Ping had already concealed himself and quietly followed behind him.

After spending so much time on the Chen An line, we're finally about to see the massive arsenal behind it all!
Tens of thousands of tons of various rare metals, three stories high, a top-tier arsenal with different internal storages—here I come!
