Marvel Superheroes in China

Wu Huida was about to cry. He was certain that Chen Baima had never said anything about making up the difference in price for him. If Qin Wu really had swindled him out of "150," Chen Baima, with his personality, would probably tell him, "If someone swindles you, that's their ability." Then, Chen Baima wouldn't pay a single penny, and Wu Huida would end up paying the bill.

The main problem here is that you take things without paying a debt. If you don't settle the payment, you definitely won't get out of here... If Qin Wu tries to take advantage of you and insists that you're the one who has to pay, you'll have to sell your pants to settle the debt.

"Qin Wu, you son of a bitch..."

Wang Jindou watched the two bickering with great interest, then suddenly interjected with a smile:

"Who pays is another matter, let's not argue about it. What you just meant was that I should melt down these two hammers and have them forged into a gun for you?"

Qin Wu quickly replied, "Yes, senior."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Wang Jindou suddenly burst into laughter, leaving Wu Huida and Qin Wu staring at each other in disbelief.

After a moment, Wang Jindou took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Young man, you probably don't understand... This pair of drum-shaped golden hammers seems to be made by me. I crafted them decades ago."

"???"

Qin Wu and Wu Huida were both completely dumbfounded.

what?

Wu Huida quickly picked up the hammer and saw that there was a raised signature on the inconspicuous bottom of the hammer—Wang Jindou.

'puff'

When Wu Huida saw this line of text, she almost choked on her own saliva.

Qin Wu's face darkened, and without saying a word, he turned and left: "Senior, farewell."

Wu Huida didn't dare to breathe loudly, cupped her hands in a respectful bow, and followed Qin Wu as they prepared to slip away...

What a joke! A piece by Wang Jindou from decades ago is being brought to his door today, and he's being asked to melt it down and use the materials to make a big gun.

This is a slap in the face to Wang Jindou!

If it were an ordinary weapons master, being slapped in the face wouldn't be a big deal, but the problem is... Wang Jindou is a master of Gang Jin!

You, one with internal energy and the other with neutral energy, come to someone else's territory and slap a powerful expert in the face. If they catch you and beat you to death, probably no one will even plead for you...

Wu Hui was utterly miserable. "Am I crazy?" he thought. He'd gone on this trip with Qin Wu and almost gotten himself ripped off. But that wasn't all; he'd missed this detail: the pair of golden drum-shaped hammers were actually Wang Jindou's work.

Hurry up and get out of here!

If a fight breaks out later, Qin Wu will probably turn around and accuse him of having the idea. And since he is at the Transformation Realm, he is a whole realm stronger than Qin Wu.

It's estimated that Wang Jintou will need to deal with himself first...

Thinking of this, Wu Huida quickened her pace and walked ahead of Qin Wu.

When Qin Wu saw that Wu Hui was so scared, his heart tightened, and he quickly ran out as well.

Wang Jindou lay on the rocking chair, watching the two lively characters, the old man and the young man, with a smile. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, and his mood improved considerably.

The moment Wu Huida's hand touched the doorknob, Wang Jindou's smile vanished, and he said calmly, "Stop."

hiss--

Wu Huida and Qin Wu gasped and immediately stood upright at the doorway... not daring to take that final step out.

The two turned around sheepishly;

Qin Wu spoke first: "Senior, listen to me..."

Wu Hui's pupils contracted, and she quickly shouted, "Master Wang, please listen to me first..."

"Senior, there might be some misunderstanding. You know, I'm just a kid with internal energy, and I'm not very influential, so I probably don't have much to say. Don't worry, I'll definitely stop talking about this and never mention it again. As for us coming here, I was just introduced... If there's any misunderstanding, I guess some people have ulterior motives. I'm just a pawn being used."

Wu Hui was stunned. Listening to Qin Wu rattle off a string of words like a machine gun, she thought to herself, "Damn, that's impressive. You just opened your mouth and completely absolved yourself of any blame. What am I supposed to say?"

After thinking for a moment, Wu Huida forced a smile and said, "Master Wang, Qin Wu took it upon himself to come find you. I was only responsible for leading the way; I don't know anything else. You..."

"senior!"

"Master Wang!"

"..."

The two of them launched into a frantic, back-and-forth explanation. 2.2

While explaining, Wu Huida was also thinking of a way to escape. She couldn't stay in the capital any longer; she had to get back to Chen Baima's side…

While Qin Wu was trying to persuade them, his eyes kept wandering out the window, searching for a house like Wang Jindou's. He was still determined to steal; since he was already here, he figured he wouldn't be able to sleep or eat unless he exchanged those hammers for a big gun.

Wang Jindou watched the two talk with a smile, and after a long while, he finally said:

"I didn't hit you, what are you afraid of? Do you think I'm such a petty person? Young man, why did you melt it down? Do you think this hammer is no good?"

Chapter 36: Long Spear

Why did you want to melt down those hammers? Did you think they were bad?

Qin Wu remained silent.

Subconsciously, he felt that the question was probably a trap. Perhaps if he wasn't careful and said something that didn't please Wang Jindou, he might not be able to leave this place unscathed today?

No, I have to shift the blame to Wu Huida...

After thinking for a moment, Qin Wu said in a deep voice:

"No. First of all, I didn't know beforehand that these hammers were made by you, senior. Secondly, and most importantly, it's because I practice Xingyi Quan and am skilled with the spear. I've always wanted a spear, but finding a suitable one is too difficult; I don't even consider ordinary spears. I only came here with high hopes because I've heard of Senior Wang Jindou's great reputation, hoping you could forge a spear for me. As for your question..."

After a pause, Qin Wu glanced at Wu Huida.

In that instant, Wu Huida, who was of one mind with him, suddenly felt a twitch in his eyelids; he had a vague premonition of something bad.

The next moment, Qin Wu continued, "Senior asked me if I thought these hammers were bad? I, of course, didn't think they were bad. In fact, I think they're perfect... Of course, I only know about spears; I don't know much about other weapons. I've heard that Senior Wu Huida is quite knowledgeable about weapons, so I'd like to take this opportunity to hear his insights. After all, I don't know much about other weapons, so this is a good chance to brush up on my knowledge."

Damn it...

Wu Huida's face turned green.

Qin Wu, from this day forward, if I, Wu Hui Da, ever look for you again, or ever appear within ten meters of you, I, Wu Hui Da, will die—die outside, or jump off this cliff.

You went through a whole round of Tai Chi, making yourself sound so sincere and humble.

So, when it came to the last crucial question, you shifted the blame to me? You're making me answer this sensitive question...

How do I say?

All I can do is flatter. But the problem is, this flattery is so disgusting it makes you want to vomit blood, like swallowing a fly.

You've laid the groundwork beforehand, now it's my turn to flatter you.

If the filming goes well, Wang Jindou will think you're a good kid, and all the credit will be yours.

If I said that I wasn't comfortable taking the photos, Wang Jindou would hold a grudge against me.

Wu Huida has gone mad; he wants to die!

But under Wang Jindou's gaze, Wu Huida took a deep breath and chuckled awkwardly, "I'm not an expert on hammers either. But I have to say, just looking at them, these hammers have a truly groundbreaking, pioneering spirit..."

Wang Jindou said with a stern face: "The creation of heaven and earth refers to the axe!"

"Forehead……"

Wu Huida wiped away a cold sweat and quickly said, "Anyway, this is my personal opinion. I've seen quite a few weapons, including works by various masters. But I've never seen anything like these hammers before. At first glance, I, Wu Huida, even mistook them for ancient divine weapons. They're practically spirits of heaven and earth, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon."

As she spoke, Wu Huida finally got the hang of it, a cold smile flashing in her eyes, before she abruptly changed the subject:

"Sigh, but it's such a pair of peerless hammers. I really can't understand why Sect Master Qin insisted on melting them down. It's like a cow chewing on a peony, a complete waste of resources. Of course, we can't rule out that Qin Wu is a wolf in sheep's clothing with a particularly perverse taste for destroying divine artifacts. Sigh, speaking of which, I, Wu Huida, am also full of anger. If it were me, I would rather give up learning spear fighting and start practicing hammer techniques just for these hammers made by Master Wang."

Qin Wu: "..."

Wang Jindou forced a laugh.

He hadn't been this happy in a very, very long time.

To be honest, he didn't care at all about refining his own creations. A weapon is a weapon; a good weapon is one that can kill.

His feigned indifference and刁难 (diāonán, making things difficult) of the two was actually because the old man and the young man were simply a pair of clowns. A rare sight indeed in the martial arts world.

The two of them were there to amuse him. And it has to be said that after chatting for so long and playfully teasing each other, Wang Jindou was indeed in a great mood.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Suddenly, Wang Jindou burst into laughter: "I won't make things difficult for you anymore. Since Chen Baima recommended you... Qin Wu, right? Tell me your requirements, and I'll agree. What kind of gun do you want?"

Qin Wu was stunned. He had originally thought that a weapons master like Wang Jindou would have a terrible temper. But he never expected that Wang Jindou would disregard such a taboo among craftsmen.

I inexplicably began to admire Wang Jindou's courage.

He quickly replied, “Senior, my requirements are very simple. The spearhead must be hard, sharp, and sturdy. The shaft must be heavy, easy to handle, and resilient. I can make do with everything else, but the spear must be sturdy enough to withstand my strength. I plan to use it for at least ten years, so there’s no room for carelessness.”

Wang Jindou's face darkened: "Bullshit! What do you mean by 'compromise'? Something made by me at 150, how could I compromise? What you say, it will definitely be exactly what it is, not a single bit off. Who told you to compromise?"

Qin Wu chuckled sheepishly and quickly apologized, "You were right to teach me a lesson..."

Wang Jindou snorted, then changed the subject: "You just said you were prepared to use it for at least ten years? What do you mean? Aren't a martial artist's weapons supposed to accompany them for their entire life? Even if they don't accompany them for their entire life, they should at least last forty or fifty years, right?"

Qin Wu said seriously, "My current strength is just enough to use S-grade alloy. But this gun barrel is A-grade alloy, it can't withstand much."

Wang Jin, furious, glared and puffed out his beard: "What nonsense! Grade A alloy can at least withstand the power of a Gang Jin expert. What level are you at? Are you trying to brag to me?"

Qin Wu muttered to himself, "That's it. It can only withstand the power of a Gang Jin expert... So in ten years, I'll at least be a Grandmaster. I was right, I really can only use it for ten years. Using Grade A alloy at the Grandmaster level is not suitable."
