Li Yao spread out his hands and said:
"Of course, it was impossible for me to set up hundreds of tactics. From the beginning to the end, there was only one set, which was to assume that the enemy would be apprehensive about the formidable firepower of the Tarantula and give up on shooting at it, choosing to engage in close combat."
"And in close combat, the enemy would also choose the rear and the top as the main attack points. Therefore, I preset two traps here. When the enemy attacks from the top, the Tarantula would promptly disengage its abdomen and use the tail refined from the spine of the Mystic Wolf to launch a fatal blow. That's all."
Jiang Shaoyang's pupils suddenly contracted. The paper cup in his hand slightly twisted as he gritted his teeth and said:
"In other words, from the beginning to the end, I was led by the nose by you and unknowingly fell into your trap?"
Li Yao sighed and said, "That's right.
"The Tarantula is a freak that was hastily modified. It certainly has a fatal flaw. As long as a refiner has a bit of insight, they would be able to see that its head is heavy and its feet are light. Its speed is slow, and it is very clumsy when it turns around."
"This is something that I can't hide no matter how hard I try."
"Since that is the case, I might as well do the opposite and turn the flaw into a trap. This is not to deliberately target the Wolf King, but to come up with the most effective tactic for the time being."
"However, this tactic is only suitable for sneak attacks. The first time, it is possible to succeed. The next time, the enemy will be prepared and this move will not work."
Jiang Shaoyang pondered for a moment before he nodded and said:
"That's true. It's not that I can't afford to lose. Let's talk about the matter as it is. If I were to refine a new Wolf King, input today's battle into the crystal processor, and set up a new tactic, the outcome would certainly be different!"
"I believe you."
Li Yao grinned as he pulled out several dozen blueprints from the crystal processor. "However, my Tarantula is only a semi-finished product. If I were to refine one in ten days or half a month, I would be able to refine one. If I were to refine it in ten days or less, it would not be like this. Come, please appraise it! "
The profession of refiners was mostly a bit boring.
Usually, refiners would hide in their laboratories and refining workshops, immersing themselves in the world of magical equipment. Their minds were filled with formulas, algorithms, and data. They looked somewhat indifferent. Even if others were to talk to them, their reactions would be half a beat slower and they would appear to be indifferent.
However, once they refined a brand-new magic weapon, they were like children who had assembled a new toy. They could not help but want to show it off.
Li Yao was also the same kind of person, a person who was both cold on the outside and arrogant on the inside.
However, in the Grand Desolate War Institution, the only people he could show off to were senior refiners like Yuan Manqiu and Jiang Wenbo.
They were not of the same generation. There was a very deep generation gap. Even if she praised him a little, she would always feel that there was a gap.
Among his peers, Ding Ling Dong, Zhao Tianchong, and Lu Tieshan were relatively good at playing. These people were all valiant martial artists. Showing off the abstruse and complicated blueprints to them was tantamount to winking at a blind person. There was no sense of accomplishment at all.
It was rare for him to meet Jiang Shaoyang, a top expert among his peers. Li Yao was very excited that he had met his match.
He believed that Jiang Shaoyang would be able to see the subtleties of these blueprints.
True enough. Jiang Shaoyang glanced at it and was deeply attracted by it. He repeatedly exclaimed,
"This is the Tarantula's final form? It's really awesome! "
"You used Thundercloud Stone and Bright Jade Gold to create a porous composite material and refined it into an arc-shaped carapace. Under the premise of maintaining the strength and corrosion resistance, the weight can be reduced by at least 25%. You also used the power array glyphs used by medium-sized warbeasts. Its speed and agility have been greatly improved! "
"And the acid chamber in the abdomen has been divided into four vesicles by you, which can store four different liquids: acid, venom, and incendiary. There is also this super strong mucus extracted from the Bullet Dart Frog? Not bad. Once this mucus is sprayed on the enemy, it will be like being entangled in a spider web. Their movement will be greatly affected and they can only be slaughtered by you! "
"A Tarantula that can weave a web. Terrifying. Truly terrifying!"
"However, isn't the ammunition chamber of your Tarantula a little too big? Such a size is enough to carry four basic crystal stones. Even if you use a triple-headed heavy crystal railgun, it will still be more than enough! "
"Although it has improved the ability to fight for a long time, it has affected the speed. Isn't the gain not worth the loss?"
Li Yao faintly smiled and pointed at the four array glyphs next to the ammunition chamber as well as the dozens of components connected to them.
Jiang Shaoyang carefully sized them up. In the blink of an eye, he crumpled the paper cup and blurted out:
"Self-destruct system!"
"You deliberately enlarged the ammunition chamber and installed so many crystal stones. It was actually used to launch a suicide attack!"
Jiang Shaoyang closed his eyes. In the blink of an eye, the dozens of structural diagrams merged into one in his mind, transforming into a majestic Tarantula placed in the middle of a scorching battlefield.
If the design of the structural diagrams could be completely realized, especially with so many crystal stones, once it exploded in the middle of a group of demon beasts...
He shuddered violently.
"Senior Brother Li, you should join Deep Sea University!"
Jiang Shaoyang excitedly said, "Although I heard that there was a misunderstanding between you and some teachers of Deep Sea University, I can see that you are the same as me. We are the most fanatical refiners!"
"For people like us, in order to pursue the strongest path of refining, we can give up anything!"
"A little misunderstanding, what's the big deal? Only by joining Deep Sea University can you fully display your talent! "
"Now that you are a registered refiner, there are many ways to join Deep Sea University. You may not necessarily be a student."
"You can directly join the laboratory of Deep Sea University's Refining Department as an assistant researcher. You can study and research at the same time."
"We have a total of twenty-seven main laboratories, which simultaneously carry out hundreds of projects. If it is you, you are qualified to join any one of them!"
"Come on, right now, the students of Deep Sea University are like clay chickens and pottery dogs in my eyes. I can't even muster up the slightest bit of fighting spirit. If you come over, we can exchange pointers and compete with each other at any time. Our cultivation can progress by leaps and bounds!"
Jiang Shaoyang looked at Li Yao with eyes full of expectation.
Li Yao was silent for a long time. Finally, he shook his head and said:
"You are wrong. Although I rejected Deep Sea University in the beginning because of a freak combination of factors, the reason why I have persisted to this day in the Grand Desolate War Institution is not because of a little misunderstanding."
"The following words. If it was someone else who asked, I would definitely not say it. But since it is you, you should be able to understand my meaning. "
"Yes, from a material point of view, Deep Sea University is, of course, the best choice for a refiner. The floating mountain, the laboratories, the faculty, the academic atmosphere, the long heritage... these are all things that other institutions cannot compare with. "
"But compared to material things, I pay more attention to the spirit, or in your words — fighting spirit!"
"Only by contending with a colossus like Deep Sea University can my fighting spirit be raised to the peak. Every minute and every second, when I think of my arrogant declaration, every cell in my body seems to be burning fiercely, releasing all the light and heat. I don't dare to slack off in the slightest. It makes me break through my limits again and again! "
"Presumably, you have also been in this state. You should know how refreshing and wonderful it is to enter this kind of state where one's fighting spirit is soaring!"
"After joining Deep Sea University and standing on the shoulders of this colossus, it is true that one can see further. But sometimes, it is inevitable that one will slack off. Because one cannot find a target that can ignite one's fighting spirit. Every minute and every second is burning crazily! "
Jiang Shaoyang could not help but ask: "How can there be no target?"
"My target is to become the number one person in Deep Sea University!"
"I want to eliminate the Novem Stellae first, and then defeat Uncle Jiang Sheng, Professor Xie Tingxian, Professor Zhu Yueqin, and the other experts. I want to even surpass Dean Chu Xiuhong!"
"One day, I will become the dean of Deep Sea University's Refining Department!"
"I have no interest in the position of dean. I just want to prove that I am the strongest in Deep Sea University! "
"This is my path, this is my target!"
"How about it? Are you interested in walking this path together? Let's fight for a few decades and see who can become the dean of Deep Sea University's Refining Department? "
"Not interested."
Li Yao shook his head. The depths of his eyes were blooming with stinging starlight: "Deep Sea University has been established for hundreds of years, and the Refining Department has also had dozens of deans. In the future, it will continue to exist for thousands of years, and there will be hundreds of deans."
"There are predecessors and successors. Even if you persist to the end, you will only be repeating the path that others have taken, doing what hundreds of people can do."
"What's the point of that?"
"The path that I am walking is different."
"With the worst Refining Department in the Federation, I want to challenge the strongest king. Even if it is not impossible, at least in the past 500 years, no one has ever done it!"
"Only such a path is worth me persevering to the end; only such a career is worthy of me fighting for my whole life; only such a goal can make my fighting spirit soar to the limit, to give 1000% of my effort, and to completely burn myself!"
Jiang Shaoyang suddenly stood up. The chair flipped backward, making a loud noise.
"Have you ever thought about how small the probability of success is?!"
His face was distorted, and he was close to screaming.
"The smaller the probability, the more interesting it is."
Li Yao said, "Life is a battle. Of course, it is fun to choose the most powerful enemy. Against a three-year-old child, the probability of winning is 100%. But is such a battle what you want?"
This sentence was like the last straw, completely crushing Jiang Shaoyang's spirit.
His face was pale as he sat back down. He didn't notice that the chair had flipped over, and he fell to the ground with his four feet facing the sky.
"Are you okay?"
Li Yao was astonished. He looked over the table, only to see Jiang Shaoyang's big hands and big feet. He was facing the sky with no intention of getting up. Every strand of muscle on his face was twitching, his eyes were rolling quickly, and his mouth was mumbling, as if he was crying and laughing at the same time.
"I understand now. This is the secret of your strength!"
"Spirit, fighting spirit, fighting spirit!"
"I grew up in the faculty district of Deep Sea University. Magical equipment components were my toys. The maintenance workshop was my paradise. Every day, I heard the most profound algorithms and theories!"
"Materially, I am a hundred times better than you, but I was defeated by you!"
"What I lack is fighting spirit. Fighting spirit that burns to the limit every minute and every second. You are right. You are absolutely right!"
"Goal, damn goal!"
"Compared to you, the life goal that I set for myself is too small. Yes, yes, Deep Sea University's Refining Department already has 22 deans and 135 vice deans. Even if I become one of them, what's so great about it?"
"No wonder I feel more and more bored, more and more boring. So that's why. The life enemy that I chose is too weak, too weak!"
Jiang Shaoyang mumbled for a long time. His deathly gray skin turned into a light red of excitement. It was boiling hot, as if it was on fire.
He stood up straight like a zombie, took a deep look at Li Yao, and suddenly turned around and ran out of the room, flinging his long hair in a frenzy.
Only when he reached the end of the corridor did he hear a crazy cry.
"I got it, I finally got it!" “
"Thank you, Senior Brother Li!"
"Tomorrow, tomorrow morning, I will come to you for a duel!"
Li Yao shuddered.
