Li Dagou accepted the money and promised, "Don’t worry, Miss Bai. The goods will arrive by this afternoon at the latest."
After ending the call, Bai Hanyun tapped her phone thoughtfully.
’If I really want to help Feng Xiyan win this war, I will have to keep buying more and more supplies. It would be troublesome if someone kept an eye on me. Looks like I need to set up a live broadcast company as soon as possible.’
With her decision made, Bai Hanyun headed out to visit the local public office to get a permit to build the company’s headquarters and a business permit.
While Bai Hanyun was busy, time flew by without her noticing.
In the afternoon, the owner of Mu Construction Material Store called to inform her about the incoming delivery.
With Hua Yuyu accompanying her, Bai Hanyun went directly to the warehouse from the local public office.
Just as they arrived, more than a dozen trucks loaded with high-carbon steel pipes approached the warehouse.
Seeing this, Hua Yuyu couldn’t help but glance at Bai Hanyun. ’What is she planning?’
Signaling the drivers to park in front of the warehouse, Bai Hanyun said, "Sir, please move the goods inside."
The drivers got out of the truck, accompanied by more than ten workers, and began unloading the high carbon steel pipes while Bai Hanyun checked the purchase receipt handed to her by one of the drivers.
After verifying the goods and the amount, she transferred the remaining 30 million yuan to the store owner and sent the drivers and workers away.
Noticing it was nearly lunchtime, Bai Hanyun turned to Hua Yuyu and said, "Brother Hua, can you help me buy some food for lunch? I still need to deliver the goods to my customer."
Although she was lying, Bai Hanyun’s expression remained calm.
Hearing this, Hua Yuyu couldn’t help but think, ’It looks like she didn’t hire me as a bodyguard but as her assistant instead.’
Despite his thoughts, Hua Yuyu nodded and drove off to buy lunch.
After he left, Bai Hanyun hurried into the warehouse and locked the door behind her. She then took out the antique mirror from her backpack and tapped the frame twice.
As the antique mirror’s surface cleared, she saw Feng Xiyan and the generals gathered around the sand table, deep in discussion.
Without wasting time, Bai Hanyun said, "Feng Xiyan, I have bought the materials for forging weapons and armor. I will send them to you right away."
Hearing this, Feng Xiyan quickly walked up to the altar and took the bronze mirror outside.
As soon as he stepped out of the tent, hundreds of thousands of high-carbon steel pipes dropped from the sky.
When the generals came out of the tent, they were stunned by the sight of a mountain of neatly stacked high-carbon steel pipes in front of them.
Curious about the blackish pipes, Zhan Qi stepped forward and touched one. Feeling the smooth surface, he was momentarily surprised and exclaimed, "It’s so smooth!"
Most empires on the Great Continent used bronze to forge weapons and armor. Even the widely circulated coins were cast from bronze. Even the most precious weapons were only made from iron.
Aside from the weapons and armor previously gifted by Bai Hanyun, this was the first time Feng Xiyan and his generals had seen pipes made from such a good material.
As they admired the steel pipes, Bai Hanyun explained, "Feng Xiyan, bronze ore is hard to buy here, so I decided to buy high carbon steel instead. It’s the same material as the weapons and armor I gave you before."
When her words echoed around them, everyone, including Feng Xiyan, was stunned. Looking at the mountain of high carbon steel, they all had the same thought.
How many weapons, arrows, and armor can be forged with these materials? The Feng Army might become the strongest force in the world if it could maximize these materials.
While Feng Xiyan and the others stared at the steel in awe, Bai Hanyun received a message informing her about the incoming delivery from the Sweet Bun Bun store.
Putting away her phone, she said, "Feng Xiyan, I have another delivery arriving. Wait a moment. Once I receive the goods, I will send them to you."
Without waiting for Feng Xiyan’s response, Bai Hanyun ended the connection and went outside to receive the delivery.
At the same time, Tan Pengtai had drawn his sword and slashed at one of the steel pipes.
The iron sword struck the pipe, sending sparks flying. A second later, cracks spread across the iron sword—and it broke.
The iron sword was a reward from the previous emperor, granted to Tan Pengtai for his military achievements. It had accompanied him through countless battles and was considered one of the finest swords in the Yu Empire.
The iron sword shattered at the first blow against the steel pipe, showing how much stronger it was compared to the iron sword.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned.
Looking away from the shattered iron sword, Tan Pengtai turned to the steel pipe. Seeing only a faint scratch on its surface, he stared at it in amazement.
In the next moment, cheers erupted.
One of the soldiers couldn’t hold back and excitedly exclaimed, "Heaven! The pipe is even stronger than General Tan’s iron sword! Just how powerful will weapons made from this material be?"
Another soldier nodded in agreement and added, "With this high carbon steel, we can rebuild the soldiers’ weapons."
Hearing this, the others said, "There are too many discarded bows and arrows in the armory just collecting dust because they lack arrowheads. If we can forge arrowheads using this material, then we can reuse those bows and arrows!"
Tan Pengtai’s eyes lit up as he stroked the high-carbon steel pipe. "Many soldiers still use bronze spearheads and halberds. Now, we can replace them with fine steel."
This batch of high-carbon steel was a priceless treasure in the entire Yu Empire. Thanks to Fairy Bai, they could finally create powerful new weapons!
