After a week, Li Yao once again came to the Zenith Cliffs to conduct the first actual combat test of the Demon Beast Detector. N ∈
A rattlesnake was cut in two and quietly twisted above the desert. The sweet smell of fresh snake blood spread hundreds of meters away.
This was Li Yao's bait.
Soon, a lizard more than half a meter long drilled out of a crack in the rock. It carefully observed for a long time before it finally couldn't resist the torment of hunger and jumped.
"Whoosh!"
Two membranes opened on both sides of its body like wings, allowing it to glide in the air at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it pounced on the rattlesnake.
Its vigilance was much higher than that of the Hump-Nosed Viper. The moment it pounced on the rattlesnake, it faintly felt that something was wrong.
With another "Whoosh" sound, from both sides of its head, a pair of semicircular wings opened, making its head look ten times larger.
In the natural world, this was a very common means of intimidation.
Under the setting sun, the wings exuded a strange brilliance. Circles of blue ring-shaped stripes grew on them.
At first glance, this seemed to be a highly toxic Blue Ring Flying Lizard.
In addition to its swift movements, the venom gland under its tongue could shoot deadly venom more than ten meters away. It was a very troublesome high-level demon soldier.
In Li Yao's eyes, however, it was a different scene.
"Beep Beep! Beep Beep! "
The crystal camera clearly scanned the features of this flying lizard in half a second and compared it with the 1875 types of lizard demon beasts.
In less than a second, a brief message jumped out from the pale red lens:
"Purple Ring Flying Lizard, low-level demon soldier, non-toxic, agile, can glide for a short time. Good at disguising as a close relative of the Blue Ring Flying Lizard to scare off the enemy. "
"The highest combat strength of an adult Purple Ring Flying Lizard is comparable to a 5th level Refinement Stage cultivator."
Li Yao grinned and jumped up from the camouflage cloth. The saber at his waist flashed, rolling up the sand and stones.
"Trash with a combat strength of the 5th level Refinement Stage, die!"
...
While Li Yao was slaughtering his way through the Zenith Cliffs with the help of the Demon Beast Detector... In the No. 1 laboratory of the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution, Yuan Manqiu, the dean of the department, was chatting with Jiang Wenbo, the logistics supervisor of the Mountain Sea Sect, through a spiritual crane messenger.
Jiang Wenbo was also a refiner from the grassroots faction. Ever since he had discovered Li Yao, a rising star, he had been quite fond of Li Yao's talent. Every few days, he would communicate with Yuan Manqiu about Li Yao's cultivation progress with Yuan Manqiu. As a guest professor, he had even given Li Yao two professional classes and had even persuaded him in every possible way. He persuaded the management of the Mountain Sea Sect to sponsor the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department with five million.
The money was not much, but the Mountain Sea Sect's management had been poor for the past two years, and it had been suffering losses year after year. Although it was not to the extent that it was strapped for cash, its cash flow was still quite tight. Yuan Manqiu and Li Yao were very grateful for his kind intentions.
On the screen. Jiang Wenbo's expression was somewhat dejected as he said dejectedly,
"Big Sis. I'll leave this matter to you. You have quite a wide network, and you also have some connections in the military. If there is someone who needs the 'Mystic Light Microengraving Machine' and the supporting assembly line, help us communicate! "
"Sure. However, the complete set of Mystic Light Microengraving Machine and the miniature component assembly line is very expensive, and the target is too strong. I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell in a short time. I estimate that it will take a few months. "
Yuan Manqiu paused for a moment. She said with a slightly reproachful tone:
"Old Jiang, don't blame Big Sis for scolding you. When your Mountain Sea Sect had spent a lot of money to purchase this set of equipment and was about to launch the 'Spirit Watch Project', I had already told you that the market for spirit watches has basically been saturated. There is also the Zephyr Guild, a giant that has been refining spirit watches for hundreds of years."
"Your Mountain Sea Sect has neither the manpower nor the technology. How can you compete with others?"
"Let's just say that the spirit watches you have refined have a good accuracy, but the noise is too loud. The ticking sounds can be heard by demon beasts hundreds of meters away, so what is the point of hunting? It would be strange if someone would buy your magical equipment! "
Jiang Wenbo heaved a long sigh and said rather helplessly:
"How could I not know about these problems? However, at present, the Xing Yao Federation has a great number of sects. Not only are the top 500 sects showing more and more aggressive momentum, there are also many young cultivators who have come out to establish their own sects. Although their strength is not high, they are creative and have enough gimmicks. The magical equipment they refine is suitable for the young people's tastes. Moreover, they go into battle with light equipment, small boats are easy to turn around, and quite a few of them have made a name for themselves. "
"Our Mountain Sea Sect, this kind of second-rate sect, is miserable. We are caught in the middle, neither high nor low, neither big nor small. We don't have any magical equipment that we can take out, and we don't have any Core Formation Stage or above experts to lead a team to kill high level demon beasts. If we don't think of a way, the entire sect will go hungry!"
"At that time, we were also forced into a corner, so we purchased all new equipment and wanted to transform."
"I didn't expect that the refining of spirit watches would be so difficult. After the functions of the miniature crystal processor became more and more powerful, the market for traditional spirit watches gradually shrank."
"These days, even the Zephyr Guild is having a hard time, so how can we survive?"
"In short, this step was wrong. I only hope that we can quickly sell this set of equipment and recover some of our losses."
Yuan Manqiu nodded and said:
"This is also true. The path of cultivation is like rowing a boat against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall behind. It is the same for individuals, and it is also the same for sects. If you don't think of a way to maintain your competitiveness, you will be eliminated at any time!"
"You can rest assured. I will definitely think of a way to help you contact some buyers."
"Then, thank you, Big Sister."
The two chatted for a while before Yuan Manqiu ended the call. From the mailbox, she pulled out a huge telepathic thought sent by Li Yao.
Although Li Yao was Yuan Manqiu's only disciple, according to the tradition of the university, Yuan Manqiu didn't interfere too much with Li Yao's cultivation.
Unless Li Yao took the initiative to ask her for advice, or if she needed help in refining, the two would research independently and not disturb each other.
Yuan Manqiu had long known that Li Yao was refining a brand new magical equipment. However, she had always restrained her curiosity and didn't ask until now.
"This kid, what exactly is he refining? A powerful saber? "
Yuan Manqiu knew that Li Yao was researching saber-type magical equipment. Moreover, his progress was very fast. His knowledge of many sabers was already above her, his tutor. He could even draw dozens of rare ancient sabers' structural diagrams.
She opened the document and took a look. Only then did she discover that it was not a saber, but an auxiliary magical equipment.
"Demon Beast Detector? This is a bit interesting. "
This auxiliary magical equipment was rare in the market. Yuan Manqiu's interest was piqued.
She swiped the hologram page by page. Her expression became more and more solemn, her eyes became more and more scorching, and her expression became more and more excited.
"This thing. If it is improved, it will be very versatile in actual combat. "
"Moreover, its structure is not too complicated. Except for a high-precision crystal camera, which is relatively expensive, there is no need for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. It can be mass-produced."
Yuan Manqiu spent a full five hours studying the refining report of the Demon Beast Detector over and over again.
It was not until Li Yao came back from the Wasteland with the smell of blood all over his body and respectfully knocked on the door that she came back to herself.
"Why are you knocking on the door? What a waste of time, quickly come in! "
Li Yao sat across from Yuan Manqiu. His mood was somewhat perturbed.
The results of the first actual combat test were very good. His hunting efficiency increased by more than 500%. Not only did he hunt a dozen weak but valuable low-level Demon Soldiers, but he also saw through the disguises of four groups of high-level Demon Soldiers in a timely manner. He avoided the fatal traps early on and did not waste even a second of fighting.
Yuan Manqiu, the knowledgeable "Deep Sea Goddess". What would she think of this magical equipment?
"Teacher, what do you think?"
Li Yao asked with great expectation.
Yuan Manqiu carefully looked at the Demon Beast Detector on his left eye. She nodded, pondered for a moment, and said:
"If I approve of this magical equipment, what are you going to do next?"
Li Yao said as a matter of course:
"Of course, I will refine more and sell them to my classmates!"
Yuan Manqiu shook her head and said:
"In my opinion, the Demon Beast Detector is a very good magical equipment with great combat value. However, if you want to rely on it to reach 40,000 credits, I'm afraid it will not be easy. "
After pausing for a moment, Yuan Manqiu explained:
"First of all, this is a brand-new magical equipment created by a freshman. How can you make everyone believe in the reliability of this magical equipment?"
"That's right. You have modified some close combat magical equipment, but they were all based on the classic magical equipment and did not make any changes to the overall structure. "
"Moreover, close combat magical equipment is a consumable item. It is very normal to have some small faults on the battlefield!"
"However, the Demon Beast Detector is different. This is a very sophisticated magical equipment. How can you make others believe that this magical equipment can distinguish between two different demon beasts with 100% accuracy?"
"Even if there is only a 0.1% chance that a Demon General is mistaken for a Demon Soldier, it is possible that it will cause fatal damage to the user."
"This is a matter of life and death. Everyone is very cautious. They will either choose a relatively reliable brand from a big sect or choose a well-known senior refiner in the industry. It is impossible for them to completely trust a freshman like you."
Li Yao opened his mouth. He wanted to explain, but after thinking for a long time, he was unable to say anything.
"Secondly, and most importantly, you used a purely manual method to polish the control chip. Your technique is indeed superb. Even I am very shocked."
"But what about the output? You can't refine three to five units a day, can you? "
Li Yao shook his head:
"No matter how fast it is, it will take at least five days to refine a Demon Beast Detector."
Yuan Manqiu said:
"In other words, if you don't sleep or rest for a month, you can only refine six units at most."
"Moreover, you will use a quasi-military level crystal camera. The cost will not be too low."
"What price are you going to set so that you can earn a profit of more than 10,000 credits in the remaining two months?"
"I'm afraid that even two to three thousand credits for one unit may not be enough, right?"
Li Yao carefully thought about it. Indeed, no one would spend so many credits to exchange for an auxiliary magical equipment.
Scratching his head, he asked in a very tangled manner: "Teacher, then what should I do?"
Yuan Manqiu smiled:
"Don't worry. In my opinion, the Demon Beast Detector is indeed a magical equipment with great practical significance. Its prospects in the market are very broad. It can bring you more than just 10,000 credits."
