Siheyuan: At the beginning, I can integrate everything!

Chapter 36: Integrating the properties of corundum, the wooden door becomes a bulletproof alloy door.

Inside the east wing.

The fire in the coal stove was burning brightly, making the whole room warm and cozy.

Zhang Huaimin sat cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed), holding a yellowed comic book in his hands.

Although his eyes were on the book, his mind had already wandered outside the door.

"Yi Zhonghai and Yan Laoxi were whispering outside the window just now; they definitely weren't holding back their good intentions."

"That old hag Jia Zhangshi is probably instigating Banggeng to bang on the door right now."

Zhang Huaimin curled his lips into a cold smile and tossed the book in his hand aside.

He put on his shoes, walked to the front door, and reached out to touch the cold door panel.

"system."

Zhang Huaimin silently recited it in his heart.

[Ding! System sprite "Ling'er" is at your service!]

A clear and melodious child's voice rang in Zhang Huaimin's mind.

Although Ling'er has not yet materialized into a physical form, her voice exudes a cleverness.

"Ling'er, even though I've reinforced this door with steel, it still doesn't feel powerful enough."

Zhang Huaimin stroked his chin, his mind racing.

"Those beasts in the Jia family will definitely come and smash it with hammers, axes, or something like that."

"If it's only bulletproof and slash-resistant, it's just an 'iron turtle' at best. If they can't break it, they can just pack up and leave."

"That won't do! I want them to pay a bloody price for every single thing they smash!"

Zhang Huaimin's eyes narrowed, and a devilish smile appeared on his face.

"Open the system store and see what good items are available to reinforce the gate."

[Yes, Master! Filtering for you...]

Soon, a semi-transparent virtual light screen that only he could see appeared in front of Zhang Huaimin's eyes.

The top is densely listed with all sorts of amazing qualities and items.

"Got it!"

Zhang Huaimin's gaze instantly locked onto an icon that was flashing with dazzling golden light.

【Level 9 Hardness Aluminum Sand Specialty】: A super material characteristic originating from a high-dimensional civilization, its hardness is second only to cosmic primordial stone. After fusion, the target object will be indestructible, immune to physical damage from all conventional cold weapons and light firearms.

"That's it!"

Zhang Huaimin chose to redeem without hesitation.

[Ding! 500 Shock Points consumed to successfully exchange for 'Level 9 Hardness Diamond Sand Specialty'!]

"Not only must we be tough, but we must also have the ability to retaliate."

Zhang Huaimin continued searching in the store and soon found another prop that perfectly matched his needs.

【Powerful Kinetic Energy Reflection Coating】: A special technological coating that can instantly reflect any physical kinetic energy applied to the surface of a target object back to the attacker with 100% force. (Note: Can be stacked to enhance the reflection multiplier.)

"Give me two coatings, to be used together!" Zhang Huaimin gritted his teeth, going all out.

[Ding! Successfully exchanged 1000 Shock Points for 'Powerful Physical Kinetic Energy Reflection Coating' x2!]

"Ling'er, integrate the 'diamond sand properties' and double the 'rebound coating' into this door!"

Zhang Huaimin pressed his palm firmly against the wooden door and gave the final instruction.

[Yes, Master! Begin the fusion...]

In an instant.

An extremely dazzling white light erupted from Zhang Huaimin's palm.

The light spread rapidly across the entire door like mercury spilling onto the ground.

The original mottled red paint on the gate began to peel off little by little under the white light.

Instead, it has a layer of warm and delicate luster, like mutton fat jade.

The wood grain is still clearly visible, but if you look closely...

You'll then discover that it's no longer wood at all.

Its molecular structure has been completely broken down and recombined, transforming it into a super composite material that transcends the understanding of this era.

Not only that.

On the surface of the gate, there was a faint, almost imperceptible, layer of dark blue energy ripples.

This is double the "physical kinetic energy rebound coating"!

[Ding! Fusion complete!]

[Current gate status: Defense level MAX (bulletproof/blastproof/slashproof), rebound coefficient 200%!]

The white light gradually faded, and the gate returned to its original state.

Even the red paint that had just peeled off was thoughtfully restored by the system.

Apart from looking slightly brighter, there was absolutely no flaw in its appearance.

"Perfect!"

Zhang Huaimin clapped his hands in satisfaction.

Even if you were to fire a modern anti-material sniper rifle at close range, you wouldn't be able to leave a single white mark on this door.

As for those beasts wielding hammers and axes?

As long as they dare to bang on the door.

This door will amplify the force they exert by two times and bounce it back fiercely!

This is simply the ultimate nemesis of the era of cold weapons!

The ultimate weapon in anti-theft traps!

"Now, we just wait for the prey to take the bait."

Zhang Huaimin yawned, turned around, climbed onto the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove), and snuggled into the warm quilt.

He is not afraid of beasts causing trouble.

I'm afraid they won't come.

The night grew deeper and deeper.

The courtyard was deathly silent, save for the occasional chorus of wild cats in heat, which added to the eeriness of the place.

Thick clouds in the sky obscured the moon.

It was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Intermediate People's Court.

The drafty, dilapidated wooden door of the Jia family's house was carefully pushed open a crack.

A small, thin figure, like a nimble mouse, slipped silently out from under the door.

He was wearing an ill-fitting, oversized cotton-padded coat, the hem of which dragged down to his knees.

In his hand, he tightly gripped a gleaming, cold-looking wood-chopping knife.

This wood-chopping knife was specially retrieved from under the bed by Jia Zhangshi.

It is usually used for chopping firewood and is extremely sharp.

That thin, small figure was none other than Banggeng, who had just broken two of his front teeth during the day.
