Douluo: Becoming Stronger Starts with Eating Soul Beast Meat

Blacksmith Yuan's mistake was that he underestimated his own craftsmanship and at the same time underestimated business behavior.

In the cruel world of business, good quality and good character are not enough.

However, it is precisely because of this character that Quan Yi feels at ease to cooperate with him.

"Young Master, would you like to visit the forging room with your own eyes?"

At this time, Yuan Xing, who had just finished signing the contract, also walked to Quan Yi's side.

Unconsciously, the way he addressed Quan Yi changed from boy to young master.

"Of course, I have long wanted to see the superb craftsmanship of Yuan the Blacksmith."

After that, this is Quan Yi’s secret base, so of course we have to take a good look at it.

Led by Blacksmith Yuan, the group walked through the hall and into the backyard.

As Quan Yi stepped into the backyard door, a wave of hot air hit him in the face, and the empty forging room appeared before everyone.

Although there were no customers and no blacksmiths, the flame in the blacksmith's furnace was still burning lonely.

There are various forging tools in the forging room, but the whole environment is in an orderly state.

It was totally different from Quan Yi's impression of a dirty, messy and poor place.

Although he only took a glance, Quan Yi was able to judge the blacksmith's character by the environment.

Blacksmith Yuan walked to the largest workbench inside and started introducing it to everyone.

"This is my workbench. I usually work here. The young master's ironware is also made here."

It was also Quan Yi's first time to enter the forging room, and he was immediately attracted by the various forging tools.

There is something romantic about having your own forge.

Quan Yi's mood also became more cheerful.

"Without further ado, Blacksmith Yuan, could you please show us your craft?" Quan Yi couldn't contain his excitement and made a request to Yuan Xing.

"Of course. Son, help me pump the bellows."

This was a great opportunity to show off his skills to his boss, so Yuan Xing called his son to show off his skills together.

"Okay, Dad."

They both took off their shirts at the same time, revealing their well-dressed upper bodies.

At the same time, their eyes became extremely serious, just like Quan Yi's focused feeling when he was exercising.

"Huh, huh."

Under Yuan Fei's rhythmic control, the flame continued to burn the iron block at a stable temperature.

After a while, the iron block was burned red. Yuan, the blacksmith, who had not moved for a long time, suddenly clamped the iron block with pliers and put the red-hot iron block on the anvil.

Then, there was a flash of light in his right hand, and a square iron hammer appeared on his right hand.

"Clang, clang, clang."

Blacksmith Yuan began to hit the iron block hard with a hammer.

The iron hammer that just appeared is the Yuan family's heirloom martial spirit, the square-headed hammer.

Under the superb skills of blacksmith Yuan, the originally irregular block of iron began to slowly form a certain shape.

Not long after, Blacksmith Yuan stopped hammering, then picked it up with pliers and put it into the water.

"Squeak."

The hot iron block met the cold water, causing the forging room to suddenly become foggy.

When the sound completely disappeared, Blacksmith Yuan immediately took out the block of iron and showed it to Quan Yi.

Seeing the finished product in front of him, Quan Yi couldn't help but clapping his hands.

"Pah, pah, pah, amazing skills. Blacksmith Yuan is definitely worthy of the title of master."

A round ball, and a perfectly round ball at that.

In just over ten minutes, blacksmith Yuan hammered an irregular block of iron into a perfect ball.

This is also the bullet for the shotgun that Quan Yi had previously commissioned.

Realizing this, Quan Yi immediately took out the iron pipe he was carrying and put the iron ball that Yuan the blacksmith had just made into it.

The iron ball slid into the bottom of the iron pipe without any hindrance, and the gap between the iron ball and the iron pipe was only a few millimeters.

You have to know that just now Blacksmith Yuan had no reference at all and was forging entirely based on his feeling.

Now this miraculous technology is in Quan Yi's hands. With this technology, Quan Yi's dream is no longer just a pipe dream.

After witnessing Yuan the blacksmith's skills, Quan Yi moved directly into the blacksmith shop for the following week.

The clanging sound of iron hammering continued from morning to night, every day.

It was not until the day before departure that the sound of pounding iron in the blacksmith shop finally died down.

"Young Master, is this kind of iron tool really useful?" Yuan Xing asked Quan Yi unconfidently.

"Don't worry, I know how to use it, and this thing can only play its real role in my hands." Quan Yi answered confidently.

Quan Yi was holding a long iron object in his hand.

One end is thin, the other end is thick, one end is straight, and the other end is irregular.

Yuan Xing had never seen such a strange weapon, and he couldn't imagine what its use was.

But Quan Yi was very satisfied.

I didn't expect that the weapons from my previous life could actually be replicated in this world.

That’s right, this iron weapon is a gun.

This was made by Quan Yi based on the shotgun from his previous life.

Compared to the previous simple iron pipe, this time Quan Yi also came with a handle and a buttstock. With these two things, Quan Yi can more easily offset the recoil of the Rhino Seal, and even allow people without soul power to withstand it.

Moreover, the most important part of this work is that Quan Yi also made a simple magazine and access port.

This type of magazine is on the top. After firing a shot, Quan Yi only needs to push the switch to open the entrance between the barrel and the magazine, allowing the bullet to slide naturally into the barrel.

This makes it much easier for Quan to shoot.

Although, only Quan Yi can use this gun now, but this may not be the case in the future.

The Ironware Research Institute actually has another name in Quan Yi's mind, that is the Firearms Research Institute.

Chapter 60 Dark Flame Elephant

Researching firearms was the result of Quan Yi's careful consideration.

Although he has not revealed his real purpose to anyone, Quan Yi did choose to set up this research institute in order to manufacture firearms.

The Quan family is a family of soul masters that has been developing for less than a hundred years.

Before the birth of the Black Iron Gauntlet, the Quan family was just a civilian family living in Quanjia Village.

However, the appearance of Quan Yi's grandfather, Quan Li, changed this situation.

After graduating from the Advanced Soul Master Academy, Quan Li did not accept the title of nobility. Instead, he returned to Quanjia Village and led the entire Quanjia Village to develop together.

When the situation on the mainland was turbulent, Quan Li made a name for himself with his pair of iron fists and laid the foundation for the development of the Quan family.

Another family heirloom of the Quan family is the white gloves. Its advantages are similar to those of the black iron gauntlet spirit. Both have the talent of being dexterous and able to multitask.

White Gloves cannot use this talent in battle because they have no attack power and soul power.

However, this talent shows its unique advantages in making high-quality handicrafts. Whether it is weaving or knitting, as long as it is hand-made, the products of Quanjia are of extremely high quality.

Under the protection of powerful military force, the advantages of the White Gloves were brought into play, and the entire family found its own path of development.

After two generations of development by Quanli and Quanyue, the family is also growing and prospering.

But this growth is more reflected in financial resources.

In terms of military strength, although the Quan family is a family of soul masters, there are only five soul masters in the family, including Quan Yi.

Quan Yi, Quan Yi’s parents, Quan Yi’s grandparents.

Although there are few of them, each of them has strength and talent that is among the best in the continent.

But from the perspective of the family as a whole, the Quan family is actually still in its infancy and cannot compare with the top families and forces on the mainland.

As the next head of the family, Quan Yi will inherit the family in the future. It is Quan Yi's responsibility to plan for the development of the family.

If Quan Yi wants to lead his people to continue to develop without relying on powerful forces, he must integrate all available forces.

Establishing the research institute is an attempt. The role of blacksmiths is limited in this world, but Quan Yi is confident that they can bring out their true abilities.

Although, only "empty shell" firearms can be manufactured now, this is only the first step.

Through this attempt, Quan Yi clearly felt the possibility.

The institute is still in its establishment stage, but Quan Yi has high hopes for it.

Today is the first step towards the future.

At this moment, Quan Yi's heart is full of expectations for the future.

Quan Yi picked up his beloved gun and looked at it carefully again.

The dark color and coldness brought Quan Yi a sense of intimacy and security.

Moreover, in order to create a perfect work this time, Quan Yi spent a lot of money to purchase precious metals.

With high-quality materials and superb craftsmanship, this terrifying weapon in your hand was finally born.

The overall hardness is far greater than that of the previous simple iron barrel. Although it has not been tested yet, it can theoretically withstand hundreds of explosions.

"Is there something like a sword-testing stone here?" Quan Yi was already a little impatient.

"Yes, outside the forging room." Yuan Xing led Quan Yi out of the forging room. There were several half-human-high stone pillars standing in the middle of the backyard.

The stone pillar was covered with scars, showing traces of being chopped by weapons.

"Weren't you curious about what this weapon was used for? I'll show you its function now."

Quan walked forward and stopped ten meters away from the stone pier.

Yuan Xing and Yuan Fei, father and son, also widened their eyes with curiosity, wanting to see how Quan Yi would use the peculiarly shaped "iron rod" in his hand.

"Scorching Sun Gauntlets."

Quan Yi took out an iron ball, engraved the Rhino Seal on it, and put it into the empty magazine. Then, he loaded the gun and took aim, all in one smooth motion.

"Be careful with the debris." Quan Yi finally spoke to remind the two people behind him.

Yuan and his son were also frightened by Quan Yi's display. They swallowed nervously and then took a few steps back obediently.

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise like thunder coming out of nowhere, and the two people were so scared that they closed their eyes unconsciously.

However, the explosion came and went quickly, and when the two men recovered from the shock and opened their eyes again, the scene before them made them feel genuinely terrified.

I saw that the stone pillar in front of Quan Yi was covered with dense fragments, and the fragments also extended to other stone pillars around and even to the ground.

Although they didn't know the principle behind this, they believed that Quan Yi must have done something with his martial spirit, otherwise, that "iron rod" alone would not have been able to cause such destructive power.

After trying a gun, Quan Yi was very satisfied with it, especially the buttstock which fits the body perfectly and disperses the recoil.

Moreover, the most important part of the gun barrel did not move at all in the explosion. With such quality, in the end, as long as he collected the most important fragment, Quan Yi's dream would surely come true.

"Blacksmith Yuan, I am very satisfied with this weapon. I will arrange for Uncle Ying to reward you two later." Quan Yi was delighted and praised the two men generously.

This is a talented person and he has made such great contributions, so of course he should be rewarded.

"Thank you, young master." The Yuan family father and son were overjoyed. After joining the Quan family, they not only received a huge amount of money from the sale of the store, but also had a fixed salary every month.

I didn’t expect that in less than a week, I would receive an extra bonus.

Moreover, they can use free high-level materials to hone their skills, and their loyalty to Quan Yi has reached its peak.

"I may not be able to appear in the forging room in the next few months, so I would like to ask you to continue forging this weapon."

"It's the young master."
