Protagonist:
Chen Yi
If heaven gave Xi Tan a bear's gall, he would surely spit a mouthful of blood onto Yin Senpi's face right now.
If heaven gave Xi Tan a bear's heart and leopard's guts, he would surely mix that bear's gall with blood and spit a mouthful onto Yin Senpi's face.
"After all this talk, we still have to go find Chen Yi for an explanation!"
"If we could find Chen Yi for an explanation, why would we bribe you!"
Xi Tan roared inwardly, glaring at Yin Senpi with bloodshot eyes, luckily not shouting it out.
Xi Rong spoke as calmly as he could: "Divine Art Knight Sir, may this matter be resolved without going through Mr. Chen Yi? This is between us, making it too troublesome is not good, and besides, I don't want the matter I entrusted to you to be exposed."
He was lying with all his might, and finally put on the "about to die" template.
Usually, the "about to die" template could get one something. Yin Senpi looked at Official Xi Tan with pity and said: "Are you worried I'll tell Lord Chen Yi that you're about to die? Oh, don't be afraid, leaking secrets doesn't fit my faith. But not informing Lord Chen Yi while taking on a disciple also violates faith."
"Faith?" The Xi Family knew Divine Art Knights had faith, but didn't understand the importance of faith.
Yin Senpi replied just as strangely: "Of course, keeping oaths is my faith; I swore I would not privately teach any Earthling."
"Swear such an oath?" Xi Rong thought, you're stupid, right.
Yin Senpi thought it was very normal; the Temple's doctrine could fill several rooms, while Chen Yi only required a document as thick as a palm, which was already very generous.
The two sides couldn't reach an agreement and should have parted unhappily. The Xi father and son also wanted to do that, but Yin Senpi held onto the black bag and wouldn't let go.
Xi Rong said softly: "Divine Art Knight Sir?"
Yin Senpi said regretfully: "What?"
"This... bag?"
"Oh, the bag. Isn't Xi Tan wanting to pay tuition?" Yin Senpi said reluctantly. Having just become a Divine Art Knight, he still had some need for money. It was also helpless to say; the Yin Sen Family had produced so many Divine Art Knights at once. Although it was a once-in-a-millennium good thing, the family's resources could no longer be like when Yin Senyong first became a Divine Art Knight, with mount, armor, stomach weapon, and full set delivered. No choice, if they couldn't afford it, they couldn't afford it. At such times, of course they could only let them find money themselves.
The banknotes the Xi father and son brought could indeed solve his urgent need.
But Xi Rong didn't want to solve his urgent need, especially not letting Chen Yi know about their secret actions, so he said nervously: "Divine Art Knight Sir, all of a sudden, I feel troubling you too much is not good, troubling Lord Chen Yi is also not good, so please let us consider it again."
This was said flawlessly; Yin Senpi regretfully let go of his hand and said: "When you've decided, come find me. Also, when you're about to die, notify me."
He still wanted to be the protagonist.
Xi Rong fled the stadium in a sorry state.
"We still have to use our own methods; we must become Divine Art Knights." Only when he reached a distance did he say decisively.
Xi Tan recalled his middle school days; his father had said the same thing then. At that time, he said "we must become Navy generals."
Xi Rong thought for a moment, then said: "We need to hold a larger gathering, about faith, at the stadium, small range, high population density..."
He waved his fist, leaving Xi Tan unable to refute.
Xi Rong's firm will was both the drill to conquer a fortress and the rocket booster forcing his own side forward; he would never stop, not even turn.
Yin Senpi regretfully saw off the two, counted the gambling winnings he had just earned once more, shook his head, and headed toward Xima Market.
Compared to the original market, this riverside wholesale institution had only doubled in area, but its prosperity had increased by who knows how many times. Just like merchants of any era, the people here were the freest and most adaptable.
Native merchants, Earthling merchants, native customers, and Earthling customers could all find what they needed at Xima Market; even new Earthling merchants would be dazzled by the dazzling yellow and white conch shells.
Yin Senpi found the newly opened "Xu Zhou Heavy Industry Flagship Store," brushed aside the bored shop assistant, and with great presence threw a stack of money on the table, shouting: "I want to custom-make an alloy weapon!"
"How long?" The store owner belonged to the Zhang Family; Zhang Pei was already a famous joke, but it didn't affect the Zhang Family's dominant position in metal. In the cold weapon wars of the West Continent, metal was always the most useful weapon.
Yin Senpi answered proudly: "35 meters long."
"35 meters? How can you lift it?"
The manager heard and quickly ran over, stopping the shop assistant and smiling: "Divine Art Knight Sir, he's a newcomer."
"A 35-meter long spear, can you make it?"
"Oh, that would need to be custom-made from Earth, but no problem. Would you like to look at the price list?" The manager took out a color-printed book with beautiful pictures and prices inside.
He glanced at Yin Senpi's attire and smiled: "We now have three types of long spears, respectively the Super Hard Series, Long-lasting Series, and Explosive Series; since you're a Divine Art Knight, the Explosive Series probably holds no interest for you."
Yin Senpi didn't know what to say at all, like a student getting glasses for the first time; besides numbers, he understood nothing.
The manager had seen many such knights and introduced excitedly: "In the Super Hard Series, the best is the Tungsten Alloy Spear, mainly Tungsten Gold, mixed with 3% manganese hard alloy spear, piercing power 4 meters, starting at 6 meters, ¥10,000 per meter, the numbers are here."
He drew a line in the book.
Yin Senpi leaned in to look, clutching the money in his hand. How much gambling money could there be? It was completely out of sync with the zeros behind.
The other party seemed not to notice and continued: "The super hard tungsten alloy mixed with manganese and aluminum is even more powerful, piercing power 5 meters, selling price ¥30,000 per meter, starting at 10 meters; over 20 meters counts as special customization, with a 30% service fee added."
"Last is the specially forged tungsten-manganese alloy spear, best ratio, professional smelting company laboratory formula, piercing power 5.5 meters, selling price ¥80,000 per meter. Also starting at 10 meters, custom-made starting at 20 meters. Take a look, which one suits you?"
The clever shop assistant presented a box, inside which three spearheads were neatly placed.
Yin Senpi impatiently grabbed them to feel. In the West Continent, there were also very good metal long spears, but those surpassing Earth products were almost all hailed as divine artifacts.
Those were things Divine Art Knights needed to risk their lives to seize under good fortune. Now they could be settled with a few banknotes...
He glanced at the price list again and said: "Show me another kind."
Among Divine Art Knights lacking money, there were no newly promoted family knights no one cared about.
"You mean the Long-lasting Series, right? Men need to be long-lasting; even with a long spear, one cannot slacken." The manager made an understanding expression and smiled: "Our Long-lasting Series are all long spears with added precious metal titanium, guaranteed to continuously pierce thick shields over 1500 times. With it, maybe you can last 2 hours."
The manager blinked again.
Yin Senpi, eating level 7 konjac, nodded very clearly: "If you mean fooling around with women, I've already exceeded 2 hours at minimum; continue talking about the long spear."
His gaze was full of disdain.
The manager was greatly struck, lowered his head, and pretended to focus: "Our ordinary Long-lasting Series is a Titanium Steel Alloy Spear usable 1500 times, selling price ¥20,000 per meter; the next Long-lasting Series is more expensive but can pierce thick shields a full 3000 times, selling price ¥40,000 per meter, very cost-effective. The best is the Strong Long-lasting Series, able to pierce thick shields 5000 times, selling price ¥80,000 per meter."
"All Gold Bonds?"
"All Gold Bonds."
Yin Senpi hummed in acknowledgment, wanting to leave yet reluctant to do so.
When they taught at the Outer Hall, they had quite a not small income, but a Divine Art Knight's expenses were likewise not small; merely the food alone was enough to make one exclaim.
"A 35-meter long spear, how much money?" This time, Yin Senpi's head was lowered.
"If you choose the manganese-aluminum and tungsten hard alloy with 5-meter penetration power, 7.8 million will suffice." If it were a custom-made single spear of this specification, it might truly cost several million. But if it is mass production, the cost can be lowered to below 10 times.
The wonder of large industry lies in this; the key point lies in replicability.
After the Zhang Family chose this line of work, they studied the market in detail — mainly obtaining materials from the Diamond Office Hall and paying information fees.
Yu Weichao did not forcibly collect this fee, but under various restrictions, enterprises that did not pay the information fee could almost not obtain professional market information, and thus could not conduct professional market business.
Because the Zhang Family had hired a Pocket Qi Level 1 Knight at a high price, they had no choice but to continue down the metal path, lest Zhang Pei's contract all go to waste; looking at it today, those several hundred tons of salary were truly worth not a small amount of money.
Fortunately they did not have to directly bid for Channel Tonnage on the market.
This is also where the Channel Committee is clever; if all families bid for Channel Tonnage, it would not necessarily make the tonnage price higher, but would instead exhaust other families' funds — for Chen Yi, the West Continent is even more a new continent needing investment attraction; any investment here, he would definitely not lose.
The Freshman Divine Art Knights belonging to the Chen Family actually also gained many benefits. Like Yin Senpi, not only did he obtain the Divine Art Knight position, but he could also use money to buy very good weapons...
Only he currently cannot afford them.
Yin Senpi had to gently shake his head and say: "How much deposit must I pay? How long to get the spear?"
"We have stock on hand."
This instead left Yin Senpi with no way out.
The Manager recently has not encountered few cash-strapped Combat Knights and Divine Art Knights — their expenses in the dazzling world have greatly increased, yet income has not changed much.
Seeing Yin Senpi's appearance, the Manager immediately proposed a suggestion: "If you are tight on hand, we offer installment loans, there are two types of patterns."
"Hm?"
"One is an interest-free installment loan; you can repay with labor, the time is very loose, 10 hours per week, 20 hours, 100 hours all can, at your convenience..." The Zhang Family's Hard Metal Research Center has had some results to some extent; although disproportionate to the input, if it can attract better and cheaper Native Knights to offset costs, the average cost ultimately can be lowered.
"No!" Yin Senpi interrupted his words, saying: "Why are you all like this, I will not work for anyone other than Lord Chen Yi..."
The Manager was greatly startled, asking: "Why?"
"Faith!" Yin Senpi had no mood to explain to him.
"Alright, then let us speak of the second installment method; this one has interest, 24 installments is very common..."
