Chapter 384 The First Generation Repeating Crossbow!
He noticed the women looking in his direction, with expressions that suggested they were looking at a wealthy man with a dog.
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes and said irritably, "If you think it's wasteful for me to use Night Glow Dew and milk, then I won't. However, I should state in advance... soaking in hot springs for too long can easily cause your skin to become dry, peel, and dehydrated..."
"Ah what?"
Upon hearing this, all the women were shocked.
They even wanted to have a drink here, since the hot spring was so comfortable.
So you tell her, there's actually this side effect?
"Hehe..." Chu Ling Shuang chuckled dryly, shaking her head repeatedly, "How could the City Lord be so extravagant? This Night Dew and milk are nothing to the City Lord, please have more. I'm very grateful! Hehe!"
She spends all her time in the forging room, and her delicate skin is already being ravaged every day.
Now it goes through another round of dehydration? Won't it turn you into an old woman?
"Yes, yes!" The women nodded in agreement.
Dryness and dehydration can be fatal to any woman's skin!
"Now you know my good intentions, right?" Xiao Yu teased.
The water inside is purified by slime, making it extremely pure and clean.
There won't be any harmful germs, but side effects such as dry skin are unavoidable.
However, when a large amount of luminous dew and milk are added, it becomes essentially a medicinal bath.
It can not only solve these side effects.
Night-shining dew and milk can also nourish the body and skin, strengthen the body, and beautify the skin.
Most importantly, the training has a very good effect on improving physical fitness.
After a while.
The maid brought over popcorn and cold drinks that had been prepared beforehand.
Then, it was the usual routine of listening to Xiao Yu tell stories.
"Brother." After the story was finished, Honglian, on the other side of the hot spring, squinted her eyes and sighed, "Such a comfortable hot spring would definitely be a huge hit if it were promoted in Dragon City, right?"
"That's a good idea." Xiao Yu thought for a moment and nodded in approval.
To create an artificial hot spring, all you need is Crimson Flame Stone.
This thing may seem precious, but if pangolins search hard enough, they can always find it.
What's left now needs to be used to craft new equipment for the red-haired girl.
Therefore, Xiao Yu immediately gave the pangolin another order: to find the Crimson Flame Stone.
The happiest person to hear this was the little maidservant who was serving everyone.
Seeing the expressions of enjoyment on everyone's faces while soaking in the hot spring, she felt very envious.
If hot springs could become widespread in Dragon City, she would naturally be able to afford them given her current financial situation.
"and..."
Xiao Yu thought of the auction that the City Lord of Snow Night had mentioned and laughed, "There's a large auction in just over ten days. Many super strong individuals will arrive in the City of Ruins. These are all big fish!"
"An auction? Shouldn't we prepare some items for auction?" Honglian asked with a smile.
A group of important figures arrived in the city of ruins.
She knew her brother would never let go of such a chance to make money.
"What else do we need to prepare? Don't we have enough good things in Dragon City?" the women asked, puzzled.
Even Sotun and Lord Xueye were incredibly envious when they arrived in Dragon City, and were completely impressed.
"not enough!"
Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head, "These are all eighth-tier experts! The rare and precious materials we sell, such as Night-Shining Dew, can all be bought at the Rare Treasures Pavilion. Many people know their prices, so it's unlikely we'll get a high price at auction."
Unless it's something never seen before... only then can it truly make a splash.
"Never seen before?"
All the women tilted their heads and began to ponder.
"Brother, could it be that you want to..."
Honglian, realizing something, asked in surprise, "Are we going to auction off that kind of wine?"
"Is it the kind of wine that the city lord has just successfully brewed?" The women suddenly realized.
“That’s right, we can auction off a small number of them,” Xiao Yu said with a shrug.
The wine that Honglian mentioned was naturally the "Ascension Wine".
Although Xiao Yu used up all the ingredients when brewing the Ascension Wine, he only managed to brew one jar, about two liters in volume.
However, after drinking only one cup the first time, each of the women awakened a second time.
In the past few days, Xiao Yu has given the women a second and a third cup of wine.
Although drinking it a second or third time may have the same effect, if you want to undergo another transformation or a third awakening, even if you finish the whole can of wine, it probably won't have the same effect as the first time.
Therefore, Xiao Yu was thinking of using a small amount of Ascension Wine to exchange for benefits at the auction.
"What kind of thing can be compared to the Ascension Wine?" the wolf girl asked curiously.
She felt that the ingredients used to brew this Ascension Wine were the finest natural treasures.
In the end, it took so many top-quality ingredients to brew just one small jar.
This jar of Ascension Wine must be worth at least tens of millions of energy stones!
"Never underestimate the heroes of the world!" Xiao Yu shook his head with a smile.
Those who came this time were all eighth or ninth-level experts; there's no guarantee they wouldn't bring some good stuff.
If there were a treasure similar to the skeleton of the Void-Breaking Beast, even he would be tempted.
But... even without good stuff, rare and precious materials like Night-Shining Dew alone would be enough to outshine everything!
The following day, in the office of the city lord.
"Lord City Lord, we have completed the repeating crossbow you designed. Please take a look..." Xiao Yu was studying the Thousand Chance Umbrella when the two sisters, A Qiu and Dong Dong, came to visit.
The two women excitedly handed over a new type of crossbow.
"Oh, let me see, the craftsmanship is quite good." Xiao Yu smiled as he took the repeating crossbow from Dongdong and praised it.
After developing the Thousand-Machine Umbrella, he designed a repeating crossbow in imitation of Zhuge Liang's repeating crossbow.
Two days ago, Xiao Yu gave the crossbow design blueprints to the two sisters.
Unexpectedly, the two sisters produced a sample so quickly.
He glanced at the two women and noticed that both of them had dark circles under their eyes.
It was obvious that after receiving the crossbow design blueprints from him, he stayed up all night for several days in a row.
Moreover, it looks very exquisite, showing that the two women put a lot of effort into it.
Xiao Yu aimed at the circular target on the studio wall and pulled the lever.
Suddenly, an arrow flew out with a 'whoosh' and hit the bullseye dozens of meters away.
He then pulled the lever several times in succession.
Six arrows were fired in succession, all hitting the bullseye.
"Lord City Lord's archery skills are getting better and better!" the two women clapped and cheered.
Xiao Yu chuckled and said with satisfaction, "The accuracy of this repeating crossbow is better than I expected."
Upon hearing this, the girl with shoulder-length short hair smiled sheepishly and said, "Although the repeating crossbow has solved the problem of rapid fire, it still has shortcomings compared to the powerful crossbow you designed before. The power and accuracy of a single arrow have both declined considerably."
The design of this repeating crossbow is actually not that complicated.
From the outside, the biggest difference is that the crossbow arm is equipped with an arrow magazine and a firing rod.
The quiver can hold ten crossbow bolts.
For ordinary people, this repeating crossbow is quite good.
Pulling the lever allows arrows to be fired continuously, eliminating the need for frequent reloading.
It's like upgrading directly from a pistol to a machine gun.
