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

Chapter 75 Soul Guidance Equipment Testing Field
"Hey, kid, what are you doing in our Soul Guidance Department?"

Qian Duoduo was overjoyed, but he still kept a stern face and called out to Chen Ping.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping first put away his manuscript paper, then turned to look at Qian Duoduo.

But when he turned around and saw it for the first time, Chen Ping was shocked.

so high!
The teacher in front of me, who looked to be only in his fifties or sixties, was at least two meters and two meters tall. When he stood there, he looked like a double door.

No, the door of the Shrek Academy dormitory is not even two meters and two meters high, which is enough to show how exaggerated this person's height is.

There was not a single wrinkle on the other person's face, but he had white hair as hard as steel needles, which made him look a little vicissitudes of life. He had broad shoulders and back, bronze skin, and a strong body of tendon meat.

He doesn't look like a teacher in the Soul Guidance Department, but more like a blacksmith in a blacksmith shop, or an old man on a construction site.

But soon, Chen Ping felt relieved.

It seems that many students in the Soul Guidance Department are of considerable stature, such as He Caitou, who is a typical example. After all, they are aiming to develop a mobile arsenal.

Students in the Soul Guidance Department are not necessarily pure research scholars. Practical soul guides who conduct research and fight at the same time are more in line with Shrek's ethos.

This is just like an orthopedic surgeon in a hospital. To put it bluntly, he's a carpenter with a slightly antiseptic mindset. Surgery is like sawing away. A little muscle development is normal.
"Hello, teacher. Dean Yan asked me to come and get a special material. I will go back after I get it."

Chen Ping didn't make his words too clear, but he stated his purpose by saying that Yan Shaozhe asked him to come and get the materials, which was considered to give Yan Shaozhe enough face.

Unfortunately, Qian Duoduo knew everything and burst into laughter.

"You kid really know how to save face for Old Yan. Dean Yan asked you to get a piece of special-grade material. Do you know how expensive a piece of special-grade material is?"

"Even if Old Yan spent a whole year living a life of luxury, he wouldn't be able to spend that much money. If this material was his, would he be so confident in letting you come and get it?"

Qian Duoduo patted Chen Ping's shoulder cheerfully and said, "But it's good that you know how to save face for your elders. Come on, I'll take you to get the materials."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping hurriedly caught up with Qian Duoduo. Qian Duoduo led Chen Ping all the way forward until they reached the last room in the entire soul guide test area, which was the door of Laboratory No. 20.

Qian Duoduo turned his wrist, and a hexagonal light golden token appeared in his hand. He pressed the token on the door of experimental area No. 20.

A magical scene appeared. A gap appeared on the door, just enough to accommodate his token.

Chen Ping seemed to feel a brief fluctuation of soul power.

The token bounced from the gap.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a crackling sound, the door of Test Area No. 20 opened horizontally.

When the door opened, Chen Ping was shocked to find that this door, which was made entirely of metal, was two feet thick.

There are slide rails on the ground and the top to allow it to start slowly.

All the doors were opened, Qian Duoduo waved to Chen Ping and took him in.

"boom--"

As soon as Chen Ping entered the door, he was startled by a loud noise. The strong shock force mixed with the air flow fluctuations hit his face, making his school uniform rustle.

Qian Duoduo seemed to be accustomed to this and continued walking inside.

Entering the test area No. 20, you will find that this is a different world. Thick metal plates divide this place into different areas. It is like a series of metal boxes.

Under the leadership of Qian Duoduo, they soon arrived at the largest area.

This is an open space, about 2,000 square meters wide and more than 10 meters high.

At the edge of the venue, some people were fiddling with strange objects in their hands.

Chen Ping felt that his horizons had been broadened. He had just entered the laboratory at the beginning of the school year, and everything he saw was new to him.

He glanced at the shield decomposition cannon in the distance, and then at the sites where the jet devices of flying soul guides were dismantled and fixed on machine tools to test the maximum propulsion force, and he felt a little excited.

Qian Duoduo glanced back at Chen Ping without leaving a trace, and his satisfaction instantly reached a new level.

He was originally worried that Chen Ping was a pure theorist. It’s not that theorists are bad, it’s just that they are not what Qian Duoduo likes.

What Qian Duoduo likes more is the feeling of making a soul guide device and then stuffing it into the enemy's mouth and firing.

In Qian Duoduo's eyes, those soul engineers of the Sun-Moon Empire who were only interested in soul guide theory and did not even use the soul guide devices they made were really wasting resources.

He dreamed of touching many of the Sun-Moon Empire's top soul guides and taking them to the testing ground to play with them.

As a result, there are soul masters who lose interest in the finished product once it is created. How can this be justified?

"Why, do you want to go up and try it?"

Qian Duoduo looked at Chen Ping who was eager to try and made a joke.

"Really?"

Chen Ping's eyes suddenly lit up. Who could refuse to fire a cannon in school?

Moreover, among the soul guide cannons in this soul guide test area, the smallest caliber that Chen Ping has seen so far is over 90 mm.

If this thing hit a well-trained athlete, he would at least be covered in bruises and would have to lie in bed for half a month before he recovered.

"It's a beautiful thought."

Qian Duoduo burst out laughing. The soul guide cannons here are at least level five, which is not something that Chen Ping, a freshman who just enrolled, can handle.

Chen Ping scratched his head embarrassedly when he heard that, and followed Qian Duoduo to a secret room where a token was needed to open several heavy metal doors in succession.

"The quota for one special-grade material is basically what a seventh-level soul engineer in the academy needs to make a seventh-level soul guide. Depending on the market price, it fluctuates between 40,000 and 100,000 gold soul coins."

"The reason why the price fluctuates so much is not only because of the huge differences between the seventh-level soul guides themselves, but also because of the amount of rare metals smuggled in by the 'mules' during this period."

Qian Duoduo's words made Chen Ping stunned: "Mule?"

Qian Duoduo shook his head. "They are smugglers who travel through the Mingdou Mountains year-round, traveling back and forth between the two empires. The Mingdou Mountains may seem like just a mountain range, but in reality, the Sun and Moon Army, the Xingluo Army, remnants of bandits, and even evil spirit masters operate there."

"This kind of place, where all kinds of people mix, is perfect for fishing in troubled waters. The chances of getting caught are much lower than other border smuggling activities."

"The more rare metals the mules have smuggled in recently, the cheaper they are. Otherwise, they become more expensive."
