Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 793 - 43: Female Weapons Master

The two of them waited for thirty minutes, but Master Ji still had no reaction. He continued to stare at the weapon draft before him, his eyes seemingly glued to their sockets, like a wooden stake, unmoving.

"Master Ji has this kind of temperament; I heard from those in the inner hall that he often goes without sleep for days and nights over a high-level custom draft," Helian Sheng patiently explained, fearing Yue Jinghua would grow impatient.

Helian Sheng was different from Yu Mubo. Though young, he had been rigorously trained by the Helian Family since childhood, participating in the design and development of the Xuan Crystal Cannon, so upon entering Star Sparrow Hall, he was naturally assigned to the inner hall.

Any master has eccentricities, so Helian Sheng understood this well.

A high-level custom draft, also known as a weapon design drawing, right?

Thus, Yue Jinghua circled around to Master Ji’s side, glanced at the draft paper on his desk, and also saw the custom requirements next to the drawing.

It was a crossbow; calling it a crossbow would be less accurate than calling it a killing weapon.

Just looking at the draft could make one feel the bloodthirsty aura emitted by this crossbow, its mouth resembling a wolf opening its large maw, the crossbow body weighing a hundred pounds, its length rivaling the arm of a strong Highland Giant, a typical Dark Practitioner could not handle such a crossbow.

Master Ji had no reaction to Yue Jinghua’s approach. Yue Jinghua could only vaguely hear him muttering fragmented words: "Increase killing power...not enough, still not enough."

This giant crossbow, named "Wolf Slayer Star," was a high-level holy-grade Dark Weapon custom ordered by a Core Formation Stage Dark Practitioner living in Yue District. Star Sparrow Hall spent a substantial amount of materials and manpower to craft this crossbow. However, after the crossbow was made, the customer used it once and thought it didn’t have enough killing power, demanding a redesign from Star Sparrow Hall.

From the draft diagram, this Wolf Slayer Star was already a peak masterpiece. It considered the weight and height of the Dan Realm expert, perfectly crafting the proportions of the crossbow, with each equipped crossbow arrow having blood grooves, enough to kill a Ninth Rank Dark Beast within a few arrows.

Yet, the customer demanded the ability to kill a Ninth Rank Dark Beast in one arrow. If switching arrows took extra time, it left even Star Sparrow Hall’s most outstanding weapon designer, Master Ji, quite vexed.

Since the material and dimensions of the crossbow had reached their limits, adding more weight or embedding extra Xuan Beast Xuan Pill could possibly harm the user physically.

Suddenly, a hand appeared on the draft before Master Ji.

That hand pointed to a place on the draft, "Add a small wind-type Dark Array on the crossbow’s arm to reduce weight and add two small crossbow arrow slots on the body, enhancing attack power with a fire-type Dark Array on three arrow shafts. This way, you could achieve the customer’s request, a single strike kill."

Seeing Yue Jinghua interrupting Master Ji’s thoughts without a word, Helian Sheng jumped in surprise. This guy is quite bold, dare to show off in front of a master.

You should know, these masters often have a bad temperament, and this Master Ji is especially known for his bad temper, akin to swallowing a barrel of gunpowder. Anyone who messes with him ends up unlucky.

Just as Helian Sheng expected Master Ji to fly into a rage, Master Ji did indeed jump up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, grabbing Yue Jinghua by the collar, eye to eye, nose to nose, loudly questioning, "What did you say? Embed a small Dark Array on the crossbow arrow?"

Yue Jinghua struggled to break free from Master Ji’s grip, found a pen on the table, and quickly penned amendments on the original draft, adding arrow slots and drawing crossbow arrows capable of being inscribed with Dark Arrays.

In her past life, Yue Xiaoqi was a Top Female Spy versed in various hot and cold weapons; she had all the cumulative human wisdom recorded in the Western Era Century in her mind. Combining this with her rich practical experience, she was able to craft Feng Buhui’s reverse-heaven Demon Crossbow.

Having also encountered Qian Luo’s various mysterious arrays, altering this crossbow seemed quite easy after integrating the arrays.

With a few strokes, Yue Jinghua transformed the originally cumbersome crossbow design.

As she put pen to paper, Master Ji’s eyes changed abruptly. Staring at the crossbow drawing like a treasure, he began muttering about the lack of anyone in Vermilion Bird Hall who could draw such a small Dark Array, wondering where to find such an Array Master on short notice.

"I know an Array Master who is proficient in various Dark Arrays. She charges only ten Merit Points per drawing for aiding in creating relevant Dark Arrays," Yue Jinghua seized the moment, swiftly offering Qian Luo a job opportunity, "If drawn correctly, this crossbow’s weight can be reduced by thirty percent, allowing customers to exert less Dark Power and maintain stamina maximally."

Master Ji nodded in satisfaction, suddenly remembering, "Who are you? How do you know how to draft weapon designs? Are you also an Artifact Master?"

"Master Ji, she and I are both newcomers from Canglong Continent, participating in this Xuyang Trial. Her weapon needs refining, so I brought her in," Helian Sheng explained.

"I am not an Artifact Master, just happened upon some knowledge about weapons, especially weapon modifications. Not only crossbows but also Xuan Crystal Cannons or crossbow guns or Great Swords, I can think of ways to help with modifications," Yue Jinghua took a glance at the custom high-level product’s draft and saw that this Heavy Crossbow’s customization cost priced at one hundred and fifty Merit Points.

According to Star Sparrow Hall’s regulations, this reward allowed Master Ji, who designed the weapon, to earn sixty percent, while the forging master earned twenty percent, and the remaining twenty percent went to Star Sparrow Hall.

These Merit Points are far quicker to earn than picking up jobs at the employment agency.

Hearing that Yue Jinghua could design more complex weapons, Master Ji became spirited, immediately signing a collaboration agreement with Yue Jinghua. The agreement stipulated that for every array Qian Luo assisted with drawing, she would receive a ten percent share, while for each weapon design amendment Yue Jinghua made, she’d get an extra ten percent of Merit Points. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Moreover, Yue Jinghua used her eloquence to squeeze a so-called "member discount" from Master Ji, granting her a twelve percent discount on any Star Sparrow Hall equipment purchases she made herself.

Seeing Yue Jinghua earn a decent income of Merit Points seemingly effortlessly, Helian Sheng was both impressed and envious.
