"This... Brother, Fengqi is that powerful? Even more powerful than you?"
"The extraordinary skills of the Mystic Artificer Ninth Dan Perfection of the Fengqi Secret Craftsman? How is that possible? How old is this child?"
"Compared to Fengqi, I'm nothing! Holy crap, amazing! Our institute spent half a year researching a project that even Director Chen personally oversaw but failed to complete, and it was ultimately scrapped. Fengqi actually perfected it! That's more than just awesome!"
"Hiss----"
Inside the Cao Family's restaurant, gasps of surprise rose and fell, everyone utterly astonished.
Especially the people at the surrounding tables.
The person who suddenly came to find them was a relative from the countryside. This young boy actually possessed extraordinary skills that were even more powerful than those of his uncle/great-uncle.
Moreover, judging from the old man's tone, his abilities surpassed those of Director Chen at the Transcendent Arsenal Research Institute?
This is unbelievable!
Director Chen of the research institute is already considered a high-ranking official in the Tianbei Base City government.
"So-so!"
Cao Fengqi looked at the shocked expressions on the faces of his relatives around him, and then at the look on his face.
He felt he was being too modest and low-key.
Mystic Artificer Ninth Dan Perfection?
She's only fit to shine his shoes.
However, he is only at the Mystic Artificer Sequence. To say that he possesses the super-casting skills of a ninth-level Smelter would be far too 'extraordinary'.
There is a risk of it being sliced and studied.
"..."
"This is no ordinary thing! Little brother, you're a freakish prodigy!"
Cao Fengzhi exclaimed in surprise, staring at him in disbelief.
As a fellow Mystic Artificer, he understood the difficulty of extraordinary skills. His cousin, who was only 18 years old, had reached this level in just three years since becoming Transcendent Sequence, which was unique in the entire Tianbei Base City.
No, it's probably number one in the whole world!
"..."
Cao Fengqi looked at him speechlessly.
"Fengqi, if you had the ability to join the Transcendent Arsenal, you would have a place in the entire arsenal."
"No, at your age, the authorities will do everything they can to nurture you."
Cao Jianjun stared at him and spoke.
"Never mind, sir, I understand what you mean."
Cao Fengqi looked at him and shook his head. "I've already joined the Spark Guild. Their benefits are pretty good. The main thing is that I don't like being constrained. I refused the core position that the Spark Guild promised me."
"..."
"..."
His words, Versailles's words, silenced everyone.
They were naturally familiar with the Spark Guild; although its overall strength couldn't compare to the official guild, it was still a dominant force in its own right.
"With your abilities, you would be a highly respected figure in any organization."
Cao Jianjun took a deep drag of his cigarette and slowly began to speak.
"Hehe, it's nothing special. Let's eat, sir. If you have any questions later, feel free to ask me."
Cao Fengqi said to him, "I can do it and I won't refuse."
The old man had previously said he would teach him, and although he didn't need it, he was willing to teach the old man if the old man came to him.
Hmm, it's the reverse of the Heavenly Gang.
Reasonable, reasonable!!
"Um... how about after we finish eating, Fengqi, you come with me to the arsenal?"
Cao Jianjun looked at him expectantly and asked, "Could you give us some pointers on the final forging?"
"Sure, no problem."
Cao Fengqi's mind stirred, and he nodded.
The [Transcendent Vulcan Autocannon] is a war-type weapon similar to the Holy Light Cannon, which requires several specific level 7 metal materials to craft.
The metal consumed would be at least 1500 jin (750 catties).
That's one of them; another is the consumption of bullets.
If bullets are made from grade 7 metal, one pound of grade 7 metal can only make 10 bullets.
What does this mean?
The Vulcan Autocannon can fire up to 3,000 rounds per minute.
One minute of full-power firepower requires the consumption of 300 kilograms of level 7 metal.
That's really outrageous.
Cao Fengqi didn't have that many level 7 metals, nor did he have the corresponding metal materials.
There must be one at the Transcendent Arsenal.
So... it's not unreasonable for him to go along with it, is it?
No, he deserves it, after all, he helped create such an awesome weapon.
"Haha, great, great, that's wonderful!"
Seeing that he agreed, Cao Jianjun grinned and got up to put a dish on his plate. "Come on, my good nephew, have some."
"..."
"Xiaocheng, you stay home and chat with Xiaowen Xiaoxue the others. I'll take Fengqi to the arsenal."
"Okay, bro, son, help your grandpa out more."
After finishing their meal, Cao Jianjun said something to his younger brother, then pulled Cao Fengqi and hurriedly headed towards the arsenal.
The younger generation of the Cao Family watched the young man being enthusiastically led to the arsenal by the 'family head', their hearts filled with complex emotions and profound shock.
This meal brought them a great deal of shock.
These aren't just poor relatives from the countryside; they're practically wealthy people returning home in glory! Look at this group of poor relatives!
"These two children, Dabao and Xiaobao, are so cute. Come here and let Auntie give them a hug."
When they looked at Liu Chunying and the others again, they couldn't help but show a hint of flattery and respect.
