After a long silence, Bibi Dong gave a bitter smile: "It seems that I really do feel like a frog in a well now."

"Never mind... go to sleep!" Bibi Dong buried herself in the blanket. These things are for later; she shouldn't think about them now.

Having worked less during this period, my skin and overall appearance have improved significantly; I don't look like a woman who has given birth at all.

The next few months.

Blacksmiths from Gengxin City arrived in Wuhun City in waves.

They even established the blacksmiths' association within a week, which broadened Xiao Ze's horizons.

It seems that the Spirit Hall has the potential to become a construction powerhouse in the Douluo Continent.

Furthermore, all three departments of the Soul Tool have been completed. Although there is still a shortage of manpower, it is only a matter of time.

With more people comes competition.

But such competition is a good thing. In just two months, a large number of first- and second-level soul tools were manufactured, and some were even ready for mass production.

Some of the remaining blacksmiths went to the assembly line to manufacture soul tools, while the rest began to build the new outer ring of the Martial Soul City.

Wuhun City is less than one-tenth the size of Tiandou City, and now that more and more people are coming, it is becoming somewhat insufficient to accommodate them.

Therefore, it is necessary to expand Wuhun City.

This time, it needs to be expanded to half the size of Tiandou City.

This task was naturally assigned to the Blacksmiths' Guild, and of course, the Power Clan.

Taino was in a very difficult time. Although his family was still alive and well, no one paid attention to his feelings of loneliness. It was as if the world had abandoned him.

Upon learning that Wuhun City was going to be expanded, Tainuo went directly to Xiao Ze and offered to build the city walls for free.

Xiao Ze naturally agreed to such a good offer.

After all, who wouldn't want something that's free?

Moreover, the Power Clan has performed exceptionally well during this period.

Taino is completely different from his father.

A month later, Lou Gao brought the last batch of blacksmiths to Wuhun City.

Lou Gao then excitedly got to work.

This caused even a heartache, albeit only a slight one, from Xiao Ze, an unscrupulous boss.

Lou Gao's talent was indeed extraordinary. In the following month, he directly entered the third level of soul tool, which shocked even Elder Wang.

Then, Wang Lao and Lou Gao engaged in a frantic arms race, with the mentality of "you chase me, I can't let you catch up."

The progress is very obvious.

Two months from now, which is today.

Soul tools developed rapidly for a full six months.

This time, Xiao Ze and Bibi Dong came to the Soul Tool Research Institute.

"Do you think the soul tools will be standard equipment this time?" Bibi Dong asked curiously.

She is not traditional and is very accepting of soul tools. She even plans to reorganize all the legions into soul tool legions. The Spirit Hall has money!

Suppressive firepower is the only legitimate approach.

"It should be possible. It's said that they've already achieved perfect mass production of level-three soul tools," Xiao Ze said.

"I heard you were the one who suggested this assembly line?"

"Yes, this makes it easier to manufacture and less likely to be leaked."

Bibi Dong nodded. She had witnessed Xiao Ze's hard work over the past six months, which hadn't even affected his cultivation. He was indeed quite remarkable.

It's a bit like the time when I had just ascended to the papacy.

The pope is like a new emperor; from the moment he ascends the throne, he inevitably begins to have his own people gradually occupy important positions.

As the saying goes, "A new emperor brings a new court," and there's some truth to that.

You're not one of my people, so why should I use you?

That period was also the most tiring time for Bibi Dong.

Xiao Ze and she were about the same age at that time.

Moreover, this child lost his parents when he was young and had to support himself by farming since childhood.

Bibi Dong suddenly reached out and placed her palm on Xiao Ze's head, gently stroking it.

This touch was so unusual, it even felt warm.

Xiao Ze was stunned, then suddenly looked up.

Deep within Bibi Dong's eyes, there was a soft light that was unfamiliar to him—a maternal tenderness.

"What the hell?" Xiao Ze was completely dumbfounded. Was this still Bibi Dong? She actually had maternal love.

"You..." Xiao Ze had just opened his mouth when Bibi Dong suddenly brushed his nose.

The gesture was so intimate that it gave him goosebumps.

Something's not right, something's really not right. Is this still Bibi Dong?

Oh no, has this guy gone mad?!

What the hell? I'm not your son!

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo behind him seemed not to have seen anything, and lowered their heads, but they were still very shocked.

Who would have thought that His Holiness the Pope would lay hands on a little child?

I have no idea what His Holiness the Pope is planning.

However, this has nothing to do with them, and they absolutely cannot watch it.

The more you know, the more miserable your death will be later.

"Your Holiness, we are almost there," Xiao Ze said.

Bibi Dong suddenly came to her senses, and the loving look in her eyes shattered instantly into a familiar coldness.

She recoiled as if electrocuted, her ears turning red.

She felt like she'd gone mad; what had she just been doing?!

How could she do such a thing? Something's not right!

The Rakshasa God, watching from the shadows, smirked.

This is the benefit of the Rakshasa God's power erosion being reduced; it becomes normal.

Bibi Dong treated Qian Renxue that way back then, partly because she genuinely disliked her. After all, Qian Renxue was the child she was born after being raped, and seeing her reminded her of the time Qian Xunji had dragged her into the secret room.

Secondly, another reason is the erosion caused by the power of the Rakshasa deity.

After all, the Rakshasa God was not a good god, but rather inclined towards evil, so it's quite normal.

Bibi Dong and Xiao Ze arrived at the research institute.

The research institute was very busy at the moment, with various voices, but mostly discussions.

Lou Gao and Old Wang, in particular, almost came to blows.

“I already said, this is how the route is drawn, and this is how it’s written in the books,” Old Wang said.

"Bullshit! What's in the book is right. My way of doing it saves some soul power, which is even better!"

Chapter 314 Level 3 Standard Rifles and Sniper Rifles

Lou Gao continued, "Besides, if everyone just reads everything from books, what are we supposed to do?"

Old Wang said helplessly, "Our priority now is to get the product made. If you want to change things, we can talk about it later. Are you going to die tomorrow?"

"Bullshit! Can't you speak properly? I'm younger than you. I won't die even if you die," Lou Gao cursed.

"Then why are you in such a hurry? Our main task right now is to get this level-three defensive soul tool manufactured on the production line. We can put everything else on hold," said Old Wang.

"It won't take me much time to do this research, and I've already done most of it."

“You’ve done your research, but 40% of the things are different from what’s in the book. What are you going to do with the people who manufacture them? Can they understand your ideas? Are you going to manufacture them yourself?” Old Wang said.

The height of the building is somewhat frustrating.

Xiao Ze understood that Lou Gao wanted to modify the soul tool, but it was too difficult to manufacture.

"You two, stop arguing." Xiao Ze stepped forward.

Bibi Dong followed behind. Not to mention that she hadn't been here for several months, this place was indeed quite well-organized and had grown very quickly.

I don't know when we'll be able to standardize the manufacturing of level 5 soul tools.

Of course, this is unlikely, and besides, it's unnecessary. Level 5 soul tools basically require a Soul King to use. It would be a waste to use a Soul King as a Soul Tool Legion; they're mostly just squad leaders or something similar.

"Your Highness, Holy Son," the two said respectfully.

"In my opinion, you two are both right. Research progress is essential. We cannot rely on a book that is thousands of years old and stand still."

Upon hearing this, Lou Gao immediately looked up at Old Wang, his face beaming with excitement.

Old Wang completely ignored him.

"However... our Spirit Hall doesn't have that much time for research and development right now, at least not for the next few years, or until the Spirit Tool Legion is built."

Lou Gao's face stiffened, and he sighed softly. He knew this would happen. "Your Highness, I understand."

"No need for that. Elder Wang can continue working on the standard soul tool. As for Chairman Lou Gao, since you want to do research and development, of course you can. I've found that you have excellent research and development abilities. You can select ten people to form a research and development team with you to work together on the research."

"That's better than having to do it alone. Everyone has their own ideas, and maybe someone else's ideas are even better," Xiao Ze said.

Lou Gao's eyes lit up again: "Really?"

"Of course, otherwise it would be a waste of your talent."

“Alright, Your Highness, I’ve decided to proceed with the research.”

"Very good. If the soul tool you develop is really good, there will be a reward. After the continent is unified, the soul tools will also be sold in the shops. As long as it is a soul tool you have researched, 0.5% of the income from the sale will be yours."
