Bing’s method of controlling the mechanical weapon was actually wrong?
Tang Tian heard and thought that he was dreaming, Bing was the true expert in playing with the mechanical weapons. Tang Tian suspected, no one else in the world could be as proficient in controlling mechanical weapons, unless the Southern Cross Army had other lucky survivors.
Bing was also stunned, and he subconsciously stopped.
His own methods were wrong?
“Do not use your old methods to control the Sky Tiger.” Sai Lei’s tone was not forgiving: “It is not the same mechanical weapons as you have used last time, because it has a martial spirit.”
“Martial spirit?” Bing was even more stunned.
“That’s right!” Sai Lei turned serious: “You still remember that spirit bead right, it has already become the martial spirit of the Sky Tiger. It is more familiar to the armor than you are, so you need to try communicating with it, to control this mechanical weapon. You will realize, it is much stronger than you think!”
Upon hearing that, Bing was shocked: “You succeeded?”
“That’s right, I succeeded!” Sai Lei said proudly: “You think I took apart those mechanical weapons for nothing? The quality of this spirit bead is very good, it did not defile this mechanical weapon. Now the martial spirit and mechanical weapon are truly merged into one. Another way to put it, is that it has already become an existence like a treasure.”
“How do I communicate with the martial spirit?” Bing was confused.
“I have created a special set of training for you.” Sai Lei had prepared adequately.
Hearing that, Bing’s face turned sour. Wasn’t that sentence the same one he regularly gave to other people? Now it was Sai Lei using it on him….
“Don’t think that it is a hassle, to really release the true potential of the Sky Tiger, you need to learn and be compatible with an entirely new way of fighting.” Sai Lei explained: “The Sky Tiger will undoubtedly change the position of mechanical martial artists, without question, the era of the mechanical martial artists has come, but your era is entirely different. The martial spirit has allowed the mechanical weapon to be even stronger!”
Tang Tian looked at Bing, he felt that Bing would definitely not agree, he was such a stubborn person, someone who had pledged to uphold the teachings of Southern Cross Army, how could he possible agree to it?
But he did not expect that, Bing did not hesitate, and agreed: “Ok!”
Tang Tian’s eyes grew wide, he did not dare believe it.
“Wise choice!” Sai Lei happily stroked her chin, glanced at Tang Tian: “Young man, even if you’re envious there is no chance for you, there is only sufficient materials to construct one. It’s cost, could possibly be more worthy than all those bronze mechanical weapons.”
Tang Tian reacted back: “I think i should earnestly stick to my martial techniques, if you are ok, then I am going back to train.”
“Hey, don’t go!” Sai Lei quickly shouted for Tang Tian.
Tang Tian’s face darkened as he looked at Sai Lei: “Is there anything else?”
Sai Lei retorted: “Of course there is, and there are many things! All the good things in the camp, are all almost depleted. The mechanical weapons have all been taken apart, even the components have been taken apart countless of times. So, other than this place being a warehouse, there is no value in it anymore.”
Tang Tian and Bing looked at her with puzzlement.
Sai Lei looked at their puzzled look, but could not get her anger up, so she resorted to a higher pitched voice: “Please, mechanical weapons is a profession that burns money. In a sentence, we are now out of money! We have to earn money, only with money can I continue with my research, and can create even better mechanical weapons!”
“How much money do you need?” Bing asked carefully.
“Not me that needs the money!” Sai Lei widened her eyes, her face unsatisfied: “Hey, didn’t I give you guys the mechanical weapon that I made?”
Bing immediately realized his mistake, and quickly changed his sentence: “How much money do WE need?”
Sai Lei snorted: “The creation price of Sky tiger, plainly the materials already exceeds thirty million star coins, and that is not inclusive of my crafting fees.”
It was as though Tang TIan and Bing were shot by Sai Lei, they stood there like dumb chickens.
After a period of time, Tang Tian finally reacted by stuttering: “Three…three zero million star coins?”
It was reasonable to say that, Tang Tian was now a wealthy man, one thousand star rocks had immediately caused his wealth to erupt into an astonishing figure of twenty million star coins. This was already his richest status in his whole life.
But even with that, he was still unable to purchase a sky tiger.
“IF not for the fact that the base had left so much good materials, honestly, today you guys wouldn’t be seeing the sky tiger.” Sai Lei waved her hand: “So, I feel that we need to discuss the problem of money.”
Tang Tian spoke out: “On me I have about twenty million star coins worth of star rocks.”
Sai Lei jumped in fright: “Woah, when did you have so much money? Twenty million star coins!”
“Someone gave it to me.”
Sai Lei was even more surprised, she sized up Tang Tian, a face of suspicion: “I say, did you sell your body. No…..with that little muscle, I’m sure it’s impossible for you to earn so much!”
Tang Tian did not know how to reply to her, honestly, he too did not know why people would give him so much money.
Sai Lei clapped her hands, with excitement on her face: “That’s great! Since we have twenty million, that’s good news!”
Tang Tian reminded her: “Twenty million isn’t enough to make a sky tiger!”
