"That’s no reason to give her such a name!"

Su Mu was relentless: "For a little girl, taking an ugly name, even if it’s a nickname, will affect her future reputation, and it’s easy for this child to be teased and excluded, which is not conducive to her growth;"

"And it’s even worse for her to find a husband in the future;"

"So, listen to me, don't call her by this nickname anymore! Just call her by her formal name, Huang Yueying!"

"I think this name sounds very good!"

Huang Huang Chengyan’s wife, Cai Shi, smiled knowingly, clearly very happy in her heart.

Because she had always opposed the nickname Achou.

And the formal name Huang Yueying was chosen under her guidance.

Unfortunately, she couldn't control her husband’s will.

But Third Aunt could!

She just wanted to give Third Aunt a thumbs up: "Well done!"

PS: New book uploaded, seeking collections, flowers, and reviews!

"Yes! Yes! Everything as you say, Third Aunt!"

Huang Huang Chengyan naturally noticed his wife’s expression and felt amused, but on the surface, he hurriedly agreed with his Third Aunt.

"Hehe!"

Huang Ping, who was on the side, just smiled awkwardly and didn't say much.

Because he had actually voted in favor of the nickname Achou back then.

Before long, the group arrived at the woodworking workshop and met the Old Master Huang, whose hair was already gray but who was still in high spirits.

"Grandfather! (Father!)"

Su Xuan, Su Mu, and the others hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

"You’re here! Xuan’er! Come! Look at this and tell me your thoughts!"

After the greetings, Old Master Huang didn't say much, looked at Su Xuan, who had become much sturdier, with satisfaction, beckoned to him, and pointed to a crossbow in front of him.

"Yes!"

Su Xuan nodded, stepped forward, picked up the crossbow, and examined and explored it with bright eyes.

In a short while, he was skillfully manipulating the crossbow.

Then, he easily disassembled the crossbow.

"You..."

Then, without waiting for Old Master Huang or Huang Huang Chengyan to speak, he reassembled it at lightning speed.

He pulled the trigger at a target on the right.

This series of operations left Old Master Huang and the others stunned.

"When did my cousin become so amazing?"

Huang Huang Chengyan thought to himself.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately, a crossbow bolt hit the bullseye precisely.

[You disassembled and observed the Qin crossbow replica. Combined with deep analysis and deduction from your previous life’s memories, you restored the true Qin crossbow.]

[Based on the Qin crossbow, combined with the concept of the Zhuge repeating crossbow from your previous life’s memories, you deduced and created the Su Family Repeating Crossbow, Yuanrong Crossbow, and Divine Arm Bow technology.]

For a time, countless inspirations surged in Su Xuan’s mind, restoring and creating various powerful bows and crossbows that had appeared in history in his previous life.

He even strengthened them on the original basis.

At this moment, he dared to say that he was the number one crossbow-making grandmaster of the Three Kingdoms.

Then, Su Xuan nodded in understanding, put down the crossbow, turned to look at Old Master Huang, and said: "Grandfather! This crossbow should be a restoration of the Qin crossbow, right?"

"Oh? You can tell?"

Old Master Huang stroked his long beard in surprise and nodded: "Indeed! It is indeed a restoration of the Qin crossbow, but the strength cannot be compared to the Qin crossbow at all;"

"Sigh! The Qin crossbow that swept across the world has ultimately been submerged in the tides of history!"

"The Mohist inheritance in the hands of our Huang family is also incomplete;"

"This is the result of my many years of research and restoration! But it’s still far off."

"I’m afraid I won't be able to restore the true Qin crossbow in this lifetime."

Having said this, Old Master Huang paused, looked at Su Xuan seriously, and said: "A while ago, your mother wrote to me saying that you had become enlightened and your comprehension had greatly increased!"

"You also have good achievements and understanding in woodworking and mechanical arts, and I hope I can teach you the Mohist mechanical arts of the Huang family;"

"That is why we have today’s meeting;"

"I was originally prepared to test your talent, but now it seems there is no need!"

"Your performance just now is enough!"

"I will teach you the Mohist inheritance of the Huang family, hoping that you can restore the true Qin crossbow in the future;"

"When the time comes, you just need to give a copy of the restored technology to the Huang family as compensation;"

"Also, if I am no longer around by then, you must burn a true restored Qin crossbow for this old man. Are you willing?"

In this generation of the Huang family, his grandson Huang Huang Chengyan actually had good talent in mechanical arts and woodworking.

If Su Mu hadn't begged for it, and Su Xuan’s performance hadn't been amazing enough, Old Master Huang would never have agreed.

This involved the inheritance of his Huang family.

Even if Su Xuan was his own grandson, it would be extremely difficult to obtain the inheritance.

This involved the foundation of the family.

Of course, it was also because Old Master Huang really loved his youngest daughter.

There was no help for it; Su Mu was his youngest daughter, the most like him, and had extreme talent in mechanical arts.

"I agree!"

Su Xuan thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively.

Then, he smiled slightly at Old Master Huang: "Grandfather, actually, when I was disassembling your crossbow just now, I already had inspiration. Perhaps, without waiting for the future, I can restore the Qin crossbow for you to see right now."

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Old Master Huang to say anything and took out paper and pen from his bosom.

"Swish, swish, swish!" He wrote and drew rapidly.

Before long, several blueprints filled with the Qin crossbow were completed.

"Here... these are the blueprints! Next, I will make a physical object!"

Su Xuan handed the completed blueprints to Old Master Huang, then ran to the side, selected wood, iron sheets, bowstrings, etc., and began to make it.

With his cultivation at the early stage of the Dark-Qi realm and his control over Dark-Qi, his production efficiency was very high.

He could even process many iron parts directly by hand.

After Old Master Huang finished reading the blueprints, only amazement remained on his face.

Although he had countless questions in his heart, he didn't rush to disturb Su Xuan.

Instead, he led everyone to watch Su Xuan busy on the side quietly.

More than an hour later,

"Click, click, click!"

Su Xuan completed the final assembly, and an exquisite Qin crossbow was successfully produced by him.

He tried pulling the trigger at a target more than ten meters away on the right.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately, the crossbow bolt precisely pierced the bullseye, went straight through, and stuck deeply into the earthen wall behind for more than ten centimeters, almost piercing the earthen wall before stopping.

According to this penetrating power, the effective range of this Qin crossbow was at least between 150-200 paces.

A great killing weapon!

"Good!"

Old Master Huang couldn't help but clap his hands and shout in approval, walked up excitedly, and said to Su Xuan: "Good grandson, can you show Grandfather how?"

"Here... take it! I’ll give this thing to you directly! Hehe!"

Su Xuan smiled and handed the Qin crossbow in his hand to Old Master Huang.

"Haha! That sounds great!"
