Chapter 11 - Weaponry (2/2)
I then threw a blue print towards Lou Gao and waited for his reaction, I then saw that the two brothers were also curious. Then 2 minutes later Lou Gao got up and grabbed my shoulders while shouting next to my ears…
Lou Gao: Please tell me where the other half of this blue print is
You are probably wondering what the blue print I showed him is right, well it certainly is not the hidden weapon that Tang San made. Trust me it is something more dangerous and lethal, the blueprint that I showed him was that of the deadliest sniper rifle in my old world the ”M40A5”. You see back when I was handed the reward money I was invited to the US naval base and that was when I saw the blueprints they had. So, I asked if I could look at them, of course they were sceptical but then agreed because I was only a teenager and I would probably forget about it the next day.
However, what they did not know was that I had a photographic memory and apparently those memories came with me into this world as well. Anyways one of the most interesting blueprint that I saw was that of the M40A5 not only is this weapon able to kill silently, but the power behind it is also something many in my old world feared. However, I couldn't make this weapon because I did not have the materials to build it, and I also did not know the basics of being a blacksmith. However now that I found Lou Gao I could make him teach me and help me build this weapon.
But the substitute for the materials came first, I know that we needed the necessary components of the M40A5. Things like a Barrel, the muzzle, the Bipod, the scope, and etc but if I can get materials for it that are of high grade then not only would the M40A5 become more powerful. But it would also be feared, even in this world where experts can break mountains and change weather. I then looked at the old man in front of me, who was practically on his knees begging to see the other half of the Blueprint.
Oscar: Fine but I have three conditions are you sure you want to hear it.
Lou Gao: Whatever it is I will do it if you let me see the other half of the blueprint.
Lou Gao: Done
Oscar: Second, I want you to never reveal anything about this to anyone
Lou Gao: Yes, I will never
He then turned to the Long brothers and shouted at them
Lou Gao: You brats better not say anything about this you hear
The two brothers could only nod their heads, as they were still in shock seeing their master a respected person in this city is bowing and prostrating in front of a stranger.
Oscar: Okay and the final condition is that we will begin working on this blueprint after I become as good as you.
Lou Gao was fine with that as long as he got to build the M40A5, he then stood up and shook my hand and spoke.
Lou Gao: With pŀėȧsurė
Siri: Ding congratulations host for receiving the blacksmith manual
Oscar: Huh but I did not pay for that Siri
Siri: No need host you received this because you were starting your training to become a blacksmith
Oscar: Really wow, who does not want free stuff. Siri open my items
...............…
Items:
Storage Space: 4x8 meters (Upgradeable)

.................
Oscar: So, Siri what if I wanted to be an engineer, would I also receive a manual for it
Siri: Don't worry host you should know that an inventor, engineer, technician, and many other professions that have a relation to a black smith all fall under that of the black smith manual.
Oscar: Wait so what if I wanted to build a smart phone
Siri: Then host you would have to reach the earth stage in the blacksmith manual
Oscar: Why
Siri: Because unlike the cultivation and body refining manual you received, the black smith manual allows the host to obtain blueprints and better proficiency in creating them when you reach the earth stage.
Oscar: Holy crap, I should have become a blacksmith in the first place.
So, from there I tried to increase the percentage in the manual this way when I reach the earth stage I can receive the blueprints I want. I then used a hammer technique Old man Lou taught me and was finally able to refine a metal piece with 300 strokes. However, this did not satisfy me at all, as I sought to create a technique which limited the number of strokes but increased the refinement of the metal.
I also helped the two long brothers with their engine and glider at the same time, at first, they didn't like me but once they got to try my cooking they immediately warmed up to me. In fact, even the old man commented on it with a smile full of pŀėȧsurė and said that it was better than what the best restaurant in Gengxin city made. From then on, the three inventors accepted me as a part of their small family, but what they did not know was what my plan was for becoming a blacksmith.
There was a saying in my old world, ”You can never be too careful” and this saying is why I am becoming a blacksmith. Once I reach Old man Lou's level I will finally be able to make my other weapons without his help this way when I am in danger I already have a contingency plan. This the is just the beginning of my weaponry to battle those who are stronger than me…
