It's Not That the Zhuge Crossbow Is Too Expensive

At this moment, the Diary continued to update.

[The world I came from before I transmigrated was fascinating. It was different from Tang San's world; where I lived, there were endless games to play, novels to read, videos to watch, and... endless work to do.]

[Pah!]

[Actually, my world wasn't that great either. Those damned capitalists were just like the nobles in this world, forever squeezing the commoners dry.]

[Alright, back to writing about transmigrators.]

[As a transmigrator, besides that, one also has a "Golden Finger" cheat. Without a cheat, how are we supposed to act cool and pick up girls? My Golden Finger cheat is this Diary. For instance, Tang San has the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record; not only can he cultivate internal energy, but he can also craft hidden weapons... wait?]

[Tang San's Buddha Fury Tang Lotus can kill a Titled Douluo, and the Guanyin Tear can even pierce the heart of the Angel God Qian Renxue. Holy crap! Writing this, I suddenly realized that I can craft hidden weapons too!]

[One part saltpeter, two parts sulfur, three parts charcoal—make some gunpowder and it's game over.]

[The Buddha Fury Tang Lotus is a fragmentation grenade, while the Guanyin Tear should be energy condensed by the user and fired at a single point.]

[When it comes to gunpowder manufacturing, concentration, and purification, I know far more than that ancient guy Tang San. Douluo Continent also has quite a few special metals. If I collect special metals to make throwing grenades, and then use special metals to make a shotgun, could I take out a Titled Douluo with every shot?]

[It's not that the Zhuge Crossbow isn't affordable, it's just that a shotgun is more cost-effective. Five-star critic MacArthur once said: When Mr. Su Chen pulls out a big black barrel, the era of hidden weapons will finally decline.]

Su Chen stopped writing, got up from Hu Liena's lap, his face filled with bewilderment.

Absurd!

This actually might really work...

Hu Liena also looked at Su Chen with a strange expression. She couldn't understand anything about hidden weapons or gunpowder, but the mere thought of what Su Chen wrote—taking out a bunch of Titled Douluos with one shot—felt completely outrageous.

Would Titled Douluos like Chrysanthemum Grandpa and Gui Mei really be taken out in one shot?

What kind of blade is a blade? A Golden Ring Broadsword. What kind of sword is a sword? A Moon-Closing Light-Shaming Sword.

What kind of gun is a gun?

"Three Origins Into One!"

Just as Hu Liena was feeling confused, a ball of energy the size of a ball suddenly condensed in Su Chen's hand, the pressure radiating from it was terrifying.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei were instantly shocked, looking at Su Chen in disbelief:

"What is this?"

"A self-created soul skill?"

Su Chen waved his hand to dissipate the power and nodded.

"You could call it a self-created soul skill, but it's not perfected yet. It'll be powerful once I finish it."

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong was also wearing a grave expression at this moment.

"One part saltpeter, two parts sulfur, three parts charcoal; hidden weapons, gunpowder, grenades."

She muttered to herself for a long time... anyone who didn't know better would think she was reciting something for an exam.

However, the subject matter was completely wrong!

She racked her brain for a long time but couldn't figure out what these things were.

"Someone come!"

"Pass down my order!"

"From this day forward, Spirit Hall is to begin collecting special metals and secretly inquire about what saltpeter and sulfur are. Anyone who understands these things will be rewarded with ten thousand gold."

Bibi Dong felt a sense of panic in her heart. Previously, Su Chen's diary hadn't written many details, and she had thought this so-called Tang San was nothing special.

Today, she saw the details:

The Buddha Fury Tang Lotus could kill a Titled Douluo.

The Guanyin Tear could even pierce the heart of the Angel God, little Xue.

This shocked her to the core. Tang San was truly worthy of being a transmigrator; his hidden weapons were indeed terrifying!

Crown Prince Mansion.

Qian Renxue's head was buzzing at this moment...

I can become the Angel God in the future?

And then.

After I become the Angel God, I get my heart pierced by Tang San using a hidden weapon?

If not for the mystery surrounding Su Chen, Qian Renxue would never, ever believe it. What level is the Angel God?

I've already become a god, yet I can still have my heart pierced by a so-called hidden weapon? Then what kind of god am I?

However.

Qian Renxue couldn't help but believe it. Even after becoming the Angel God, she still couldn't beat Tang San?

A transmigrator.

Terrifying indeed!

This truly made the little angel break out in a cold sweat.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were both stunned.

The diary entry for today had completely reorganized their outlook on life, the world, and their values...

Ye Lingling said weakly:

"Yanzi, why don't you take your grandfather and go hide somewhere?"

Dugu Yan's expression was unsightly, and she said with some resentment:

"That bastard!"

"But he only just thought of it today; he hasn't even made those hidden weapons yet, has he?"

Ye Lingling said with a wry smile, "But haven't you noticed? These transmigrators are truly mysterious and powerful. Even that Tang San could slay a god, let alone someone even stronger like Su Chen."

"I..."

Dugu Yan suddenly lost her confidence as well, whispering in a grievance-filled voice, "That hateful bastard! I don't even know him, so why does he have to come and bully me? Damn it! Damn it! I hate him to death."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan's voice began to choke with sobs.

Seeing her best friend so upset, Ye Lingling gently hugged her to offer comfort:

"Yanzi, actually, things aren't that bad. That Su Chen doesn't seem to have any malice toward you. At worst, we can just swallow our pride and not provoke him."

Dugu Yan nodded apprehensively, but in her heart, she remained unconvinced!

He couldn't possibly be a match for her grandfather, a Title Douluo, could he?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Although he was a transmigrator, he had only awakened his power for three months and was only at level ten-something soul power; he was definitely no match for her grandfather.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

Dugu Yan felt even more apprehensive, becoming restless and uneasy.

Dugu Bo had been following his granddaughter all afternoon, and his anger only grew... Just which bastard had upset his granddaughter? Once he found out, he would definitely teach him a harsh lesson!

Heaven Dou City.

Spirit Hall branch.

Spirit Hall was quite conspicuous in the bustling Heaven Dou City. The architectural complex was dark in tone, and the main hall was grand and imposing. Its structure was symmetrical, with four ten-meter-tall pillars supporting the front portico, making everyone who passed by feel insignificant.

The top of the main hall formed a conical roof, which increased the overall height of the building to nearly thirty meters, naturally causing it to stand out from the surrounding low-rise structures.

After Su Chen and his group arrived, many people immediately came to greet them. Platinum Bishop Salas rushed over at top speed, stepped forward, and bowed:

"The Heaven Dou City branch of Spirit Hall, Platinum Bishop Salas, greets Lady Hu Liena and the two esteemed Elders."

"I did not know you were arriving today, and I failed to welcome you properly. Please forgive me."

Although Hu Liena was not yet the Saintess, as the disciple of Pope Bibi Dong, her status within Spirit Hall was extremely high.

As for Yue Guan and Gui Mei, there was no need to mention them; as Title Douluos and Elders themselves, their status was exceptionally noble.
