"Wait! Did Fan Mao give us weapons?"
The Lord widened his eyes, in disbelief.
All the Lords were still trying to find out what exactly Fan Mao wanted, hoping to get those weapons as soon as they were released.
Unexpectedly, he had already reached the endpoint ahead of everyone else and killed the competition.
And even made a connection with Fan Mao through this.
Although this connection was superficial, merely having a word with his subordinates, it still put him way ahead of the other Lords.
Others still didn’t have this opportunity!
"Yes, and those weapons require specific energy batteries.
They told us we could go to the market and purchase from Fan Mao’s people there, they said they would sell to us.
We have already tried ourselves; these weapons indeed do not use ordinary Magic Power.
Ordinary Magic Power is hard to activate, we were worried about damaging them and did not forcefully test.
Also, they even gave us the Space Ring where we stored the firearms to keep them less conspicuous, take a look, Lord!"
After saying this, the team leader handed over the ring that he had been safeguarding. The Lord took it and after sensing it briefly, felt struck by surprise.
But before that, he first realized this was not the place to discuss these matters and gestured for everyone to enter the room.
Making sure there was no one outside and locking the door, he then shared his discovery:
"This ring’s space is much larger than what Fan Mao is currently selling! Definitely 300 cubic meters!
The ones Fan Mao is selling now are only 100 cubic meters!
This is definitely an internal product from Fan Mao!"
He had no doubt that Fan Mao was holding back the best and only putting out the lesser good for public display, as anyone would do, keeping the best hidden while presenting the less desirable openly.
Also, influenced by long-standing traditional arts, he was very accepting of the practice of developing one generation, hiding one generation, using one, and selling one.
Thus, at this moment, obtaining equipment still in use by Fan Mao’s subordinates, he was extremely excited.
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but take out those weapons to fiddle with, immediately pulling out a sniper rifle.
All his subordinates were firearms users, he himself was certainly not naïve about firearms.
He spotted the impractical aspects of these firearms at a glance.
But with the captain’s introduction, he was quickly immersed in the strength and beauty of it, feeling how good these firearms looked.
"You’re saying these firearms need special energy batteries?"
"Yes! Exactly these!"
The captain pointed out a bunch of cylindrical metal pieces as thick as a forearm taken out from the ring, indicating that these were it.
"These won’t last long...
Here’s what we’ll do, tomorrow I will send people to the market to inquire, to see if we can leverage this purchasing privilege to find the materials Fan Mao needs!
Right now, the information from other Lords is too chaotic, hard to tell truth from falsehood, since we got this favor, it’s better to get firsthand information!
No, not tomorrow, right away!
For now, you guys will keep these weapons for use.
Remember, do not use them unless absolutely necessary, but don’t be stingy when needed!"
The Lord was still following his old mindset of hiding and not letting others discover he had ahead start.
But he soon realized, times have changed, only having significant Combat Power would earn respect and more benefits.
And these firearms couldn’t be kept secret for long, if not used now, wouldn’t it waste the advantage?
And this could also discreetly show off his connection to Fan Mao, borrowing a bit of Fan Mao’s prestige.
After all, others were not clear about the extent of his connection and couldn’t possibly find Fan Mao to verify who he was.
As long as he didn’t blunder and boast widely, gaining a bit of influence was still possible.
Leaving these weapons with his squad instead of reallocating was for the same reason.
After all, it wasn’t he who made a connection with Fan Mao, but his subordinate unit types; he was clear on this.
He hurriedly had someone take a ring, a few used batteries, and a rifle and left the camp to run inward the region.
Now, with Fan Mao’s arrival and everyone gathering information and preparing resources, this did not attract attention.
The next day, on the southern side of White Poplar Mountain, Eternal Garden
Upon waking up, Bai Yi’s marinated soul had already been fully infused.
He immediately paused his research on gene entry and began attempting to create his first man-made anomaly.
But before starting the crafting, the first dilemma was deciding on a form.
The first creation was definitely for his own use, and it could only be an accessory, but deciding on what accessory was somewhat troubling.
Bai Yi was caught in the dilemma of selecting clothing, unsure of what accessory to add for himself.
Having too many rings was impractical, and also a bit show-offy.
Bracelets were the same, and as for earrings and the like, too small couldn’t carry a soul slice, too big would give off a bad girl vibe.
In the end, among various accessories, Bai Yi still chose a hair accessory, settling on a hair clip as his new piece.
The creation was actually very easy, just needed to create a biological model, infuse the soul, and then craft a personalized shell for it, and that was it.
