In the Arsenal.
Fang ping looked at the pressure cannon and sighed,"if the catacombs are weak, this thing is really good stuff!" "If we throw them into the catacombs, in order to expand their strength, the catacombs might immediately start a war with the demon race!"
"It's a pity that the catacombs are strong. Humans do not dare to throw this to them.
Unlike divine weapons, the manufacturing method was passed down by humans.
"However, divine weapons only increase a high-ranked martial artist's ability. There are actually limitations. Moreover, even if high-ranked martial artists don't use divine weapons, they can still make other similar weapons.
"The pressure cannon, on the other hand, can increase the high-end combat strength of middle and low-ranked martial artists.
"Let's use it first. "
Zhang Tao chuckled and continued to stroke his beard. He had recently fallen in love with this feeling, and it gave him a sense of satisfaction.
After being stunned for a while, Zhang Tao looked at Lu Zhen and said,""Try not to convert it with vitality force. It's hard to preserve vitality force, and it's not very strong. Try to convert the imperishable substance into destructive energy to attack and see if it works!"
Lu Zhen was taken aback."But destructive power is only available to rank-8 and above," he said in surprise."And there aren't many of them. Instead of using this to convert, it's better to fight with destructive power."
Even rank-8 martial artists themselves could not bear to use the power of destruction.
Now, he even had to use the energy cannon to convert it. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Zhang Tao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile,"there aren't many people here, but there are many!" If you can make a cannon of destruction that can withstand the power of the absolute beginning realm, I will find a way to get an absolute beginning realm demonic core!
When that time comes ..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Fang ping swallowed his saliva, despite his dissatisfaction.
"That ... Using a large amount of imperishable substance, can it really unleash peak power?" he asked softly.
Lu Zhen pondered and said,"theoretically, it's possible!" However, the materials used to make it were not ordinary! The absolute nightmare realm was too powerful. The power of an attack from the absolute peak, the backlash it endured, was something that even the strongest alloy could not withstand.
If you really want to make this kind of energy cannon, you'll need at least materials of the same grade, such as the peak level bone armor and the like, to build the energy cannon. "
Fang ping swallowed and suddenly looked at Zhang Tao.
Zhang Tao saw him looking over and said with a faint smile,""Don't look at me! There was still hope for him to get the peak-level demonic nucleus. However, not only did he need the demonic core, but he also needed the bone armor. The difficulty level was too high!
This required killing a peak stage demon. Kid, no one was confident in this, not even the Heavenly King.
If no one caused trouble when killing a peak-level demon, he could still slowly grind the other party to death.
However, I can't kill them all. "
Fang Ping's face was full of regret. 'If I had brought out an energy cannon that's comparable to an apex-level attack ...'
He didn't even dare to think about it!
Back in Tianzhi city, if I had this thing, I would have blown up 99 ore veins with one shot!
Of course, Tian Yu might be able to stop them in the city.
However, this would allow him to possess the battle prowess of an absolute nightmare realm expert in advance!
Also, the peak remains within the king Battle Ground could be used.
Fang ping now realized that there was still hope for him to possess some items that had peak-level might and combat strength in advance.
Unfortunately, the difficulty level was astonishingly high.
Lu Zhen looked at them with some curiosity. He realized that after he came out, the whole world had changed.
Department head Zhang was the legendary absolute nightmare realm.
Not only that, but now that he was talking about the demonic nucleus of the absolute beginning realm, it seemed as if he could get it. Could it be that Minister Zhang also had the strength to kill a peak expert?
Or rather, where had he encountered this before?
As for Fang Ping, he was also full of surprises.
This young man seemed to be highly valued by these paragons.
Lu Zhen was still thinking when Zhang Tao said,""Pressure cannons of the seventh stage, make some more! "Equip the Wu an Army and mcmau with it, and let a large number of middle and low-ranked martial artists join the battle at the rear!
"As for the brain nucleus ... Mcmau has it, so does the government.
It's hard to obtain a complete brain core and heart Core together, but there are still quite a few of them in reserve. "
Zhang Tao was quite serious at the moment and quickly said,""It's not just the pressure cannon. Since you can use your brain core to transform into pressure, you can also use your heart Core to create pure high-grade vitality attacks!
They should also have high-ranked combat strength!
Think of a way to develop it again. If you need anything, just tell me!
"You can apply for all the human and material resources of the government. You can participate in research and development with whoever you need.
It's very important to develop it quickly. As for the war, you don't need to participate in it anymore. You can focus on this in the future. "
"But ..."
Lu Zhen was a little hesitant, but after some thought, he still said,"But I'm a rank-9 martial artist. Isn't that a little ..."
He wanted to say that it was a waste!
An expert like me is an existence that can suppress an entire cave.
Why didn't the strong do this?
"That's because powerhouses are too useful. Their status is too high. Rank-9 powerhouses can suppress the catacombs.
He was going to do research and development?
'Then, it feels like it's useless for me to break through to rank-9 after so much effort.'
Zhang Tao knew what he was going to say and said indifferently,""It's just a weak rank-9. It won't have much of an impact. And who said that research and development had no future? "Perhaps you will become the first martial artist to walk out of a different origin Dao!
Times were changing, and everyone had their own job. There was hope for everyone to step into the great Dao of origins in every field.
You might be able to open up a wider path and become the first top scientist. Anything is possible, isn't it?"
Lu Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He was still thinking about it when Fang ping said with a stern face,"Elder Lu, on behalf of mcmau, I officially invite you to be the honorary Dean of the School of production at Magic City University of martial Sciences!
Previously, in order to quickly increase their combat strength, the four major colleges of mcmau were no longer worthy of their name. It was understandable that the liberal arts college had been changed to a combat college.
In war, martial arts were the main focus!
"However, the school of production represents logistics. Although mcmau has strong combat power, it lacks the corresponding logistics supply.
"Dean Hu Minghe has to bear some responsibility for this matter. Of course, it's also related to the fact that mcmau doesn't place too much emphasis on these things. We also have to bear some responsibility.
War was all about logistics!
"Nowadays, every time mcmau starts a war, its logistics is a mess. This is very inappropriate.
"That's why mcmau needs an expert like you to provide us with some protection ..."
At the side, Zhang Tao was a little speechless. You want to snatch him?
Was there a need?
Fang ping felt that it was necessary, so he said again, "It's not just that. Some of mcmau's other industries have also entered a stagnant state! For example, the planting of things like the hundred-tempering fruit and Meridian molding flower.
"Also, I feel that it's a waste to just eat energy fruits directly.
"If ancient martial art practitioners can create pills to restore mental power and golden body, why can't we?
He had to endure it every time!
A large number of energy fruits were also eaten directly.
I've obtained a lot of treasures like the Golden body fruit, moon nether grass, and sky Golden Lotus, but I can only swallow them directly each time. It's a huge waste ..."
As soon as he said this, Lu Zhen's expression changed.
Did you obtain a lot?
Is that true?
Lu Zhen thought for a moment and said,"some things are indeed better to make pills with a reasonable combination." For example, the raw materials for the vitality pill, the body-toughening pill, and the eleven pills were not expensive and were very common.
The effect of consuming it alone was too ordinary.
However, when it was made into a pill, it would have a different effect, and the cost-performance ratio would be higher.
When I was young, I also developed some pill formulas. The resurrection pill's formula was developed by me, but I haven't been in contact with this for a long time ..."
Fang Ping's face was blank. He could not help but glance at Wu kuishan, his eyes full of resentment!
Wu kuishan knew what he meant. He shrugged. 'Don't look at me. I can't even move this old man.'
Lu Zhen was indeed a talent, so why would the pill company give him shares?
It was all because he had made a huge contribution!
Lu Zhen had participated in the several improvements to the qi and blood pill.
He had also developed a few types of medicinal pills on his own. The resurrection pill was one of them. Before there were imperishable substances and life essence, the resurrection pill was a martial artist's life-saving straw.
Even Fang ping had been saved by resurrection pills several times.
It was too common for martial artists to be injured.
Many martial artists were unable to recover after being injured, and that was really a waste.
Resurrection pills were extremely effective for treating internal injuries. Looking at the current price, it was not expensive. It was worth five million back then, but it was cheaper now. Almost all martial arts university students could afford it.
The imperishable substance and life essence were limited, but the raw materials of the resurrection pill were quite ordinary.
Fang ping was speechless. An expert like this should be brought to mcmau to produce pills.
Did people from mcmau even need money to buy life pills?
Who knew how much the pill company had earned from this!
In the end, he only gave Lu Zhen that little bit of shares. It was a huge loss.
Now, he felt that these pills were not of much use, but that was under the circumstances that Fang ping was providing them. Fang ping felt that he could not completely rely on himself. This would be irresponsible to mcmau.
Just like last time, without his supplies, there was a problem immediately.
And his wealth was not unlimited.
What would they do when they had no more to snatch?
If everyone relied on him then, they would all be waiting for death.
When Fang ping thought of this, he looked at Lu fengrou beside him. Lu fengrou smiled helplessly. She could not care about her own father.
When the old Vice-Chancellor was still around, he had actually invited Lu Zhen to mcmau a few times, but Lu Zhen had not agreed.
Even if his daughter was in mcmau!
Seeing this, Fang ping suddenly laughed."Elder Lu, you don't have to worry too much about mcmau. It's fine if you don't come." It was the same whether he went to a government agency or stayed in mcmau.
However, I think that it's more convenient for some things to be done here.
"For example, I think teacher li knows the most about the problem of converting vitality into mentality. However, he's also busy and can't go out to cooperate with you in your research every time.
"If you want to research energy cannons and pressure cannons, you'll need a lot of resources, as well as the cooperation of a large number of middle and low-ranked martial artists. It just so happens that mcmau's instructors and students are free now, and there are plenty of people to cooperate with ..."
On the side, Zhang Tao glanced at him and said with a faint smile,""Alright then, let's do it in mcmau!"
This idiot!
From old Zhang's point of view, Fang ping was just looking for trouble.
Originally, he had thought that Lu Zhen's research and development would consume a lot of energy, and he would have to spend a lot more.
"Now ... Mcmau will pay on its own!
After that, he would just use Lu Zhen's research results.
As for Fang ping asking him for a fee?
Don't joke around!
Zhang Tao didn't care about this at all. He continued,""To ensure Lu Zhen's safety, the Wu an Army will station another 3000 people in mcmau to protect Lu Zhen!"
Didn't you want her?
I'll give it to you!
Out of the 38000 Wu an Army, only 5000 have come. I'll give you another 3000, you decide.
Lu Zhen was speechless.
Lu Zhen was stunned!
What was going on?
"I'm a rank-9 doing research and development on the ground, and you want to send 3000 people to protect me?
"Don't we have tens of thousands of teachers and students?
There were plenty of rank-9s!
Other than those at the peak, no one else could threaten him, right?
If the paragons really came, would the 3000 Wu 'an Army be of any use?
Fang ping was about to reject him in a hurry, but before he could say anything, Zhang Tao disappeared. Not only did he disappear, but the huge cannon in front of Lu Zhen also disappeared instantly.
The people around him were all trying to hold back their laughter.
Zhang Tao is a good friend!
Not only did I leave Lu Zhen with you, I also left you 3000 Wu 'an soldiers. In addition to the ones from before, I've left all 8000 men for you.
Old Zhang has been building a team in the Ministry of Education for 30 years, and now you have one-fifth of it.
"I don't want to ..."
Fang ping only said these words after old Zhang had left. For a moment, he felt extremely miserable. 'I don't want it!'
"Your Wu an Army is almost more than mcmau's students!
" 8000 people stationed in mcmau? old Zhang must be crazy!
Protect Lu Zhen, protect Lu Zhen, you might as well send beigong Lin.
There were only a few rank-9s in the Department of Education-beigong Yun, Xie Yifan, Wang Qinghai, and old Zhang. This was the Department of Education's rank-9 allocation.
Fang ping criticized silently. Wasn't old Zhang very generous?
If you send Xie Yifan and beigong Cheng here, I promise to accept them!
While Fang ping was criticizing him in his heart, Wang Qinghai and Wu kuishan looked at each other. Wang Qinghai transmitted his voice to Wu kuishan, saying with a smile,"What do you mean by" Minister "?"
As for taking advantage of him, that didn't exist. Zhang Tao could afford to support the Wu an Army. He wasn't that poor.
Wu kuishan was silent for a while, then he said telepathically,"The Minister wants Fang ping to take over his position? Was there a need for this? He's very powerful, and if he's willing to stay in this position, he can even live for a thousand years ..."
"It's hard to say," Wang Qinghai muttered,"the Minister ... Actually wants to step down!" "It's been about a few years. A few years ago, he felt that he should not continue being the Minister. He had the intention to be stationed in the catacombs for a long time. "
Wang Qinghai sighed and said,"but other than the Minister, who else can hold up this position?" It was too difficult! The Education Ministry was in charge of martial arts, so all the martial artists in the world were actually under the jurisdiction of the Education Ministry!
The central government was in charge of Civil Affairs, while the three ministries and four houses were in charge of war!
Among the three ministries and four prefectures, the military was nominally in charge of war, but in reality, it was the Education Ministry.
Commander li, Minister Nan, and the others were powerful, but they were not the type to plan for the overall situation, and their minds were not on this.
The others did not have the qualifications to do so.
For the past few decades, the Minister had been trembling with fear, as if he was walking on thin ice. The neo martial era had been started by Chen and Shen.
"However, these two guardians have been staying in the catacombs for a long time. 30 years ago, Sino nation's martial arts was not as prosperous as it is now. At that time, there were not many rank-9s.
It was not until the Minister came to power that the glory of the neo martial era was born.
The rank-9s emerged one after another, and the higher ranks quickly broke through a hundred, then a thousand!
" 30 years ago, middle-ranked martial artists could lead the war. 30 years later, middle-ranked martial artists are now as numerous as carps crossing the river, uncountable!"
In Wang Qinghai's words, his admiration for Zhang Tao had reached a point of no return. The glory of the new martial era was not created by Chen and Shen, nor by Li Zhen and Nan yunyue, but by Zhang Tao!
He didn't even care about those false reputations. The outside world thought that Li Zhen was stronger than him, and that the military department had a higher status than the Education Ministry. Even the success of the new martial arts era was attributed to Chen and Shen. Zhang Tao rarely cared about these things.
Those who were not familiar with Zhang Tao would not be able to imagine all of this and would not know what he was bearing.
He was also the Paragon who had the least temper and was the easiest to talk to.
In the past, when Tian Mu had scolded him, Zhang Tao had just laughed it off. He actually quite liked people like Tian Mu, and the reason why Tian Mu had scolded him was because he knew that Zhang Tao was easy to talk to and had a mild temper.
Although he was scolding her, it was also a form of acknowledgment.
After Zhang Tao, who would be qualified to take over his position?
This was not glory or status. This was a responsibility, a monstrous responsibility!
Could Fang ping afford it?
Did he have the right?
Even if Fang ping had become a Paragon, even if Fang ping had really led mcmau to become stronger, he still did not have the right. He was still far from it!
Wu kuishan heard Wang Qinghai's words and glanced at Fang ping, who was still mumbling. He laughed and said telepathically, "We'll see! The current him indeed did not have the qualifications to do so. He was far from it.
However, who could say for sure what would happen in the future?
"There's no need for the Minister to be so anxious. I think the Minister wants to make him change. There's no need to.
He had a donkey's temper. The more you arranged and nurtured him, the more he disliked it and wanted to do the opposite.
In fact, he had been very good before. This kid didn't say it, but he really admired and envied the department head. He knew it in his heart.
However, after the battle in Shanghai, this kid's stubbornness has come up and he's still feeling awkward now. "
Wang Qinghai didn't know whether to laugh or cry."With his personality, he's really not suitable to be the Minister of Education, even if he's the best! However, he was still young and had high potential.
"The Head of Department has high hopes for him, and I hope that this kid won't disappoint the Head of Department's good intentions. In these past few years, the Head of Department has rarely shown such great approval for any martial artist."
Wu kuishan suddenly laughed and said,"he probably saw his own past!" When he was young, the Minister wasn't a good person either, but he wasn't as easy to talk to as he was now. "I heard from principal Yu that the department head at that time was also selfish and wanted to take back all the benefits he saw.
It was said that forty years ago, he wanted to create his own sect and seek independence. He almost fell out with the Minister of Education at that time because of this.
In the end, the old Minister's death had been a huge blow to him, and that was how Zhang Tao came to be.
"Think about it, isn't the Fang ping now similar to him back then?
"Of course, if he were to entrust the cause of Hua country to Fang ping before he died ... Haha, that would be even more like it!"
Wang Qinghai almost laughed out loud.
Wu kuishan, this fellow, really dared to say anything.
Wasn't he afraid that the Minister would hear him and punish him?
Of course, he was a rank-9 powerhouse after all. Unless old Zhang broke through by force, it would be difficult for him to secretly spy on a voice transmission.
This time, no one cursed out loud, probably because they didn't hear it.
Wang Qinghai laughed and did not continue. He glanced at Fang ping, who was still in a daze, and shook his head slightly. He hoped that one day, this kid could become a department head.
It was too difficult!
Zhang Tao's strength did not lie in his strength, but in other aspects.
Fang ping, on the other hand, had yet to see these qualities.
……
27th of December.
In Shanghai.
At the entrance of the catacombs.
Fang ping glanced at the passageway and suddenly said,""Let's tear down the alloy house! Not only the alloy building, but all the buildings on the ground have been demolished, revealing the passage!"
After saying that, Fang ping looked around and said, "Where's the uncle who guards the door? Let him come, we'll tear down this alloy house together!"
Everyone looked at him, but no one spoke.
"If we win this battle, there's no need for the alloy house to exist anymore!" Fang ping said in a deep voice.
"If we lose this battle, the alloy house will be meaningless if it can't stop a rank-9!"
"Rather than wasting it here, why don't we take it down and use it to forge weapons and armors to increase the strength of human martial artists!"
"And this time, there are more than 10000 martial artists ready to go. This passageway and this underground hall are too narrow! "We'll transform this place into a public square and dig up the passage between mcmau and this place. We'll turn it into a great path so that mcmau can come here and fight at any time!"
“……”
After Fang ping explained for a while, Zhang Tao, who was not far away, nodded slightly.
In the crowd, the military general Xu MOFU had a complicated look in his eyes. He nodded slightly. Soon, someone went to the surface to call for the guard.
In the past, when Fang ping had entered the catacombs for the first time, the two of them had guarded the door.
The first time he was here, Fang ping had said that he wanted to tear this thing apart!
The scar-faced man had also disappeared after Fang Ping's first entry into the catacombs.
The remaining person guarded the door alone, and no other candidates were added.
……
A moment later, the guard came.
The middle-aged man walked on and on until he suddenly stopped. His eyes were a little wet, and he didn't know why he was so emotional.
However, when he saw Fang ping standing in front of the alloy building, he suddenly had the urge to cry.
It was indescribably complicated.
Uncomfortable?
Carefree?
Or something else?
The gatekeeper ... He had been here for years and years. He had witnessed people enter, exit, and enter without leaving. He had seen too much.
The guards also changed one after another.
He wasn't the first generation of gatekeepers. As for the people before him, where did they go?
They had all died in the other world within the same passageway!
"Are you going to tear it down?"
"Don't we need people to guard the door anymore?"
The Guard's eyes reddened. He continued to stride forward. Very quickly, he was in front of Fang ping.
Fang ping looked at him, and he looked back at Fang ping. After a long time, he grinned, revealing an ugly smile. His smile was a little strange."Are you really going to tear it down?"
Fang ping chuckled,"what's the point of keeping it if I don't tear it down?" Uncle, do you still remember what I said back then?"
"Of course!"
The guard reminisced and said softly,""Year 09, 20th of June. Mcmau is going to undergo a reform. Tang Feng brought a group of new people into the catacombs, and you were one of them. You're the only rank-3 martial artist!"
"This is your first time here ..." He asked.
"It's my first time here,"the gatekeeper laughed," but my eyes changed when I saw the alloy house. They were almost shining. Scarface asked if you wanted to tear down the alloy house. In fact, it wasn't the first time he had said this. He had said it to many people, so it could be considered a kind of encouragement.
I remember you said that you wouldn't be interested in the alloy house anymore. At that time, Dao BA was just joking ..."
"A year and a half!"
The guard muttered. Had Dao BA ever thought of today?
Fang ping also laughed,"uncle scar left early and didn't see this scene. What a pity." However, he said that he went to the catacombs to catch beautiful women. Perhaps he was still catching them now and had not finished. Uncle Dao BA was really greedy!
We don't care about him, we'll tear down this house. When he comes back and sees that the alloy house is gone, he'll probably be dumbfounded!"
"Hahaha!"
The gatekeeper laughed loudly. At this moment, he was unspeakably carefree. He suddenly shouted,"Then tear it down! What kind of gatekeeper? At this point, the human race is almost completely defeated. I'm just comforting myself!"
"Tear it down!"
The gatekeeper was extremely straightforward. He threw a punch, causing sparks to flash in the alloy house.
Fang ping was even more straightforward than him. He went up and punched, directly punching a big hole in the alloy house.
"Cool!"
Fang ping laughed out loud,"this feels great!" I told you I was going to tear this thing apart, but I've been waiting for a year and a half. I'm not interested in it anymore!"
The two of them laughed and smashed the alloy house madly.
Fang Ping's punches created holes in the alloy house. In his hands, the alloy house was like paper.
The gatekeeper also did not care about the blood dripping from his hands as he punched again and again!
It hurt, but he didn't care!
He would smash this house and get rid of the fear and dread in his heart. He would burn his cauldrons and sink his boats. He could only win!
The battle was about to start. What use was there for a house other than to comfort himself?
The alloy building was not the last line of defense, and the humans did not need this useless line of defense!
