Full-Time Magister: The Strongest Summoned Beast is Actually Myself

Chapter 71, Throwing Magic Weapons

The fragmentation bomb is spherical in shape, ten centimeters in diameter, and filled with a thousand fragments, each made of magic-resistant metal, making it indestructible. At its core is a B-grade fire magic stone, and the outer layer is intricately carved with explosive array patterns and filled with a large amount of magic sand. Finally, it is detonated by a mechanical fuse.

It sounds simple, but in practice it's hellishly difficult. Material proportions, energy conduction, fragment arrangement, and detonation control—every step requires extreme precision. To this end, Chen Hao specially recruited more than a dozen ordinary researchers to be responsible for massive mathematical modeling and theoretical calculations, practically turning the forging workshop into a magic-industrial composite laboratory.

But the results are encouraging—each fragmentation bomb, costing only 100,000, is enough to clear out a group of servant-level enemies within ten meters when it explodes, with explosive power comparable to a level three wind disk magic!
Most importantly, it is now in stable mass production!

The high-explosive bomb uses an A-grade fire-type magic stone as its detonation core, infused with concentrated magic energy, and further enhanced by lightning-type activation patterns to accelerate energy release. Its outer shell is covered with three layers of magic-based alloy, and its internal structure is complex, with spiral guide channels filling the entire central cavity. At the moment of explosion, all energy can be precisely directed to the outside, creating a burst of flames like a blooming lotus.

Its power is comparable to the Nine Palaces Fierce Fist of a Spirit Seed Mage. One bomb can kill within a radius of 20 meters. Although the cost is as high as 150,000, it still has strategic value and is also capable of mass production.

The Shock Sensing Bomb is a prototype of a sensory-blocking weapon personally proposed and designed by Chen Hao.

Drawing inspiration from the shockwave technology of the technological world, he fused it with the three elemental systems of the magical world:
The exoskeleton is constructed using a magical sound crystal shell, which naturally resonates with sound waves and magic.

The core structure is embedded with sound-based brain-penetrating noise array patterns, mind-based illusion-disrupting array patterns, and light-based shimmering interference array patterns.

With the aid of wind-based array diffusion, the interference radius is ensured to be uniformly covered and unaffected by terrain.

Once detonated, the sensory systems of enemies within a ten-meter radius instantly collapse, rendering them senseless. At best, they experience dizziness and lightheadedness; at worst, they lose mental control and their spells collapse, lasting for more than ten seconds!

Currently, only two prototype missiles have been successfully tested, and due to their extremely complex structure, mass production is not yet possible.

However, if the bottlenecks are overcome in the future, it will surely become the king of cutting-edge technologies for battlefield control.

With the advent of three brand-new throwing weapons, Hongsheng Forge finally turned a corner and officially entered the profit-making stage!

"--boom!!!!!"

On the outskirts of Shanghai, along a deserted coastline, a deafening explosion shattered the rocky area. Flames soared into the sky, waves crashed back, and the flames and shockwave nearly ripped the entire reef off its foundation. A blast of scorching air, carrying metal fragments, swept outwards, the air thick with the smell of burnt rust and turbulent magical energy.

Behind the blast shelter on the shore, Chen Hao, Ding Yumin, Chen Hongsheng, and more than a dozen researchers dressed in lab coats and goggles watched intently, holding their breath. Modern high-definition cameras and a magic-based imaging array were recording every frame of this explosion test from all angles.

The next moment, as the echo of the shockwave subsided, Chen Hong slapped his thigh violently, his face flushed red, his voice trembling with excitement: "Good! Good!! Good!!! This power—this diffusion! It's perfect!!!"

The harmonizer, Ding Yumin, also brightened up and commented in a low voice: "The destruction limit radius has stabilized at twenty meters, the energy curve is released almost perfectly, there is no delayed explosion or energy leakage... It's even better than I expected."

"Tell me, with this video recording, how much do you think those hunter mages and military mages would be willing to pay?" Chen Hao took off his goggles, revealing a meaningful smile.

……

After careful consideration, Chen Hao priced the fragmentation bombs at 30 each and the high-explosive bombs at 50 each!
The cost more than tripled, which wasn't too expensive, but it wasn't too cheap either. After deducting the cost of magic stones, manpower, consumables, equipment wear and tear, and experimental expenses, each item still yielded nearly half the net profit.

This is already considered extremely profitable in the magical artifact industry.

The only weakness is production capacity.

At present, the maximum daily output of the forging workshop is only ten pieces even when it is operating at full capacity, and it is not certain that it can deliver stably every day - magic stone selection, core shaping, array pattern carving, blending and packaging, each process relies on the accumulation of experience.

But once the market opens, this is a road to gold!
Moreover, once sales stabilize and their future strength grows, they will no longer need to fear technology leaks. At that time, they can openly expand production lines, recruit large numbers of blacksmiths, blenders, and array pattern craftsmen, and establish a true magical weapon factory.
For now, I can only spend my own time and energy on it.

...A few days later, the Qingtian Hunting Grounds received a special commission.

Mission objective: Protect Mo Fan.

“I don’t need protection,” Mo Fan said firmly at the bar, his eyes revealing a suppressed anxiety. “Let that senior brother Dasheng protect my dad and my sister.”

Lingling frowned and unfolded the scroll in her hand: "But the commission clearly states - Target: Mo Fan."

Mo Fan shook his head, his tone heavy: "If something happens to them... there's no point in me living."

"This..." Lingling was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute it.

At this moment, Old Man Bao put down his pipe and casually interjected, "Let him be. I'll personally give instructions regarding Dasheng."

"Grandpa!" Lingling exclaimed anxiously, "This isn't an ordinary mission! It's... being hunted down by Hei Jue Ting!!!"

The moment the words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

In the magical world, the name Black Jueting is synonymous with death and fear.

No one can easily ignore their threat, let alone with the bloody warning still fresh in their minds.

But Old Man Bao simply waved his hand and said slowly:
"Don't worry... Doesn't our hunting lodge still have one person at Pearl Academy?"

Lingling was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened: "You mean... Chen Hao. That bastard hasn't been to the hunting camp in ages!"

Lingling gets angry whenever he's mentioned. Ever since that forging workshop started to improve, the once-a-week hunting trips have been reduced to once a month.

They promised to help me get a leave of absence if I didn't want to go to school, but when it came down to it, they were nowhere to be found.

“Yes.” Old Bao smiled. “That guy has really made a name for himself now.”

……

Thus, the task of protecting Mo Fan fell to Chen Hao. Tang Yue was very generous, spending 200 million yuan directly on Qingtian Hunting Grounds, which was almost equivalent to more than a day's profit of the forging workshop.

Recently, Chen Hao's life has become more regular and fulfilling.

During the day, they study the latest knowledge of magic and array patterns at the main campus and absorb various resources from the academy; at night, they return to the forge to help optimize the mass production process of three throwing weapons, while also initiating the research and development of several new products.

As for cultivation? It's no longer Chen Hao's main focus.

He replaced sleep with meditation every day and circulated the "Basic Qi Refining Method" a few times to maintain the flow of Qi in his body. He was no longer obsessed with the exhausting and blind involutionary asceticism of the past.

no way.

After experiencing the resource disparity brought about by the Three-Step Tower, he fully understood a cruel and realistic truth:

Choice is more important than effort.

Even if you cultivate diligently for ten years, it can't compare to someone who occasionally enters a cultivation paradise!
