It was a scimitar about thirty centimeters long, but the angle at which it was curved was different from ordinary scimitars. It looked more like a kukri knife he had seen before, except that it was slightly larger.
It was completely black, and the back of the blade was slightly arched, forming a downward arc. The edge of the blade exuded a fierce killing intent.
Seeing Qi Yuan pick up this unremarkable curved blade, the young man's expression changed slightly. When he saw Qi Yuan stretch out his finger to test the sharpness of the blade, he finally couldn't help but shout out, "That's right.
"Don't!"
His voice was a little nervous, as if something dangerous was about to happen.
"What's wrong?" Qi Yuan stopped what he was doing and looked at him, puzzled.
"Please don't do such a dangerous thing!"
The young man took a deep breath and said carefully, as if he was afraid of scaring Qi Yuan.
"Although this blade is not an energy weapon, it is sharper than any energy weapon. If you are not careful, it will cut off your finger."
Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows and lightly waved the scimitar in his hand a few times. The scimitar was unexpectedly heavy. Based on his initial estimation, it should be more than fifty kilograms, no lighter than Death's Reaper. If not for the support of Steel Strength, it would be very difficult for an ordinary person to even lift it.
It was another strange metal!
When the scimitar was swung, not only did he not hear any sound, but he also did not feel any air resistance. This made him even more interested in the scimitar.
"Don't worry, I have enhanced defense. No matter how sharp this blade is, it can't cut off my finger!"
When the young man heard this, he wanted to say something but stopped. However, when he saw Qi Yuan's calm eyes, he finally gave up on trying to persuade him.
Of course, this scimitar would not cut off a person's finger so easily, even if it did not have a level 1 enhanced defense. He just did not want this scimitar to see blood here.
This saber had taken Qu Shi three months to make. It was definitely the best saber made by Qu Shi, but in a way, it was also an ominous saber.
Originally, Qu Shi was going to create a custom-made weapon for a member of Wolf's Teeth Hunt. However, before the weapon could be completed, that powerful Rank 3 Combat Domain Warrior died during an exploration mission.
That person was one of Qu Shi's few friends in the Iron Chariots. After his death, this unfinished saber had been lying there quietly, accompanying Qu Shi, just like its former owner.
Weng!
Qi Yuan's finger slid across the blade, producing a buzzing sound.
The expression on the young man's face changed slightly. From the sound alone, he almost thought that it was the sound of metal grinding against metal. This was not something a Tier 1 Enhanced Defense could provide.
"Good saber!"
Feeling the sharpness of the blade, Qi Yuan could not help but exclaim in admiration.
Regardless of shape, weight, hardness, or sharpness, this saber completely crushed Luo Kui's Zhanmadao. Moreover, the weight was perfectly compatible with the strength of steel. It could unleash a terrifying destructive force when used against an enemy.
The powerful weight brought about a powerful lethality to this saber. This was an advantage that energy weapons could not compare to. Even a Tier 2 Enhanced Defense might not be able to withstand the rapid slashing of the blade.
If he could activate the Blade Shattering Talent, even a Rank 3 Zerg would die under this saber.
"This is it!"
Qi Yuan looked at the scimitar in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
"Are you sure?" The young man with dark circles looked at Qi Yuan with a complicated expression.
"I'm sure."
"Wait a moment."
The young man with dark circles turned and left the room full of weapons. After a while, Master Qu in a grey robe walked in.
He sized up Qi Yuan and said impatiently, "Put down the Decapitator and change to another one!"
The Decapitator!
Qi Yuan was slightly stunned. He quickly realized that the Decapitator was the name of the saber he had chosen.
He did not expect the eccentric Master Qu to refuse to sell a weapon that he had finally chosen.
"I want to know why?"
Qi Yuan asked with a frown.
"The Decapitator is not completed yet, so it's not for sale. You can choose any other weapon and I'll cut the price by half."
"It's okay if it's half-finished. I want this one!"
Qi Yuan expressed his attitude directly. He did not comply with the eccentric old man that Luan had mentioned.
Master Qu raised his eyebrows. He did not expect Qi Yuan to talk back to him. He squinted at Qi Yuan and said in an unfriendly tone, "Don't think that you have connections with Qi Yuan.
You can do whatever you want here just because you're related to Wolf's Teeth Hunt. Even if Zhao came here personally, he would not dare to speak loudly here. "
"It has nothing to do with Wolf's Teeth Hunt," Qi Yuan shook his head. "I have indeed chosen this saber. Please part with it, Elder Qu."
Elder Qu was silent for a moment.
He said slowly, "Must it be this saber?"
"It must be this saber!" Qi Yuan nodded solemnly.
"If you can agree to two of my conditions, I'll let you take it away!" Master Qu said expressionlessly.
Qi Yuan looked at Master Qu calmly and said in a neither servile nor overbearing tone,
"Please speak, Elder Qu."
"This saber is called the Decapitator. The main body of the saber alone cost me 200,000 yuan. Moreover, it's not completed yet."
Master Qu paused and looked at Qi Yuan before continuing, "If you want to take it away, you can take it away.
The first condition is to take out the materials that I used to make this saber. 200,000 yuan! "
200,000 yuan!
This was a high price that most Tier 3 Iron Chariots hunters would shrink back. Even if it was a custom-made weapon made by Master Qu, he would rarely ask for such an expensive price.
Thinking of the power that this saber could unleash when combined with Steel Strength, Qi Yuan gritted his teeth and agreed, even though he knew that Master Qu was deliberately making things difficult for him.
"No problem!"
As long as he could obtain Talent Points from the check-in area, money would not be a problem once his strength increased. Regardless of whether it was 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, it was just a number.
Master Qu looked at Qi Yuan with a faint smile.
"Luan said that you are rich. It seems that she didn't lie to me. You can actually take out 200,000 yuan at once!"
"The second condition!" Qi Yuan said through gritted teeth.
"Don't be anxious. If you can't fulfill the second condition, you won't be able to take this saber away even if you have the money."
"Give me the saber!" Master Qu said calmly.
Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment before handing the Decapitator to Master Qu.
Master Qu casually weighed the saber a few times. Although he looked thin and weak, he didn't seem to be straining at all when he held the Decapitator, which weighed more than 50 kilograms. It was obvious that he had also strengthened his body.
"I've engraved an energy matrix that can quickly release energy in the blade of this saber. I've also reserved a slot for embedding an energy core at the hilt."
As Master Qu spoke, he turned the blade upside down and pointed the hilt at Qi Yuan.
Only then did Qi Yuan realize that the slot at the hilt, which he had originally thought was for decoration, could actually be used to embed an energy core.
"The second condition is to complete the embedding of the energy core and complete the final process of the Decapitator.
As long as you can complete this step, the Decapitator will no longer be a half-finished product. You can then take it away from me! "
F * ck!
Why don't you ask me to make a new one myself?
Qi Yuan couldn't help but complain in his heart when Master Qu made things difficult for him.
However, Qi Yuan had no choice but to lower his head. If he really fell out with Master Qu and chopped him up, he wouldn't be able to leave this place alive with the defensive capabilities of the workshop.
"I don't have any relevant experience. Please advise me, Elder Qu!"
"I don't have time. Go find someone else."
Qi Yuan looked around. In the entire workshop, other than Master Qu, there was only a group of young apprentices who had been squeezed dry.
"I wonder what level I have to reach to complete the embedding?"
"As long as you can activate the energy matrix that I've set up and use this saber to unleash a torrential amount of power, it'll be considered a success!"
Master Qu casually returned the Decapitator to Qi Yuan, turned around, left the weapons and equipment warehouse, and returned to the workshop.
Qi Yuan held the Decapitator and observed it for a while. In the end, he found the guy who had brought him in with dark circles under his eyes.
After hearing Qi Yuan's request, the guy with dark circles looked bitter and said softly, "Master Qu clearly doesn't intend to take this saber away.
"Master Qu obviously doesn't want you to take this saber away. If you weren't introduced by the Wolf Fang Hunting Team, you would have been chased out long ago!"
"Qu Shi has always been like this. You don't have to be so angry. Just change to another weapon. Although there are no other physical weapons that can compare to the Decapitator, there are still a few powerful energy weapons."
Qi Yuan shook his head.
"Although the energy weapons are good, this saber is more compatible with me!"
"If any of you can help me complete the embedding of this energy core, I can pay an extra 100,000 yuan!"
In order to get the Decapitator, Qi Yuan had also spent a lot of money.
100,000 yuan!
Upon hearing this, the guy with dark circles under his eyes shone brightly. 100,000 yuan was a huge number for them!
However, in the end, the guy with dark circles under his eyes shook his head with some regret.
"The final process of embedding the energy core is not complicated, but it requires very precise energy control. In the workshop, only Qu Shi can do it with his Elemental Domain ability. We are only apprentices in Qu Shi's workshop and have not awakened the corresponding ability."
"Moreover, even if we have this ability, no one in this workshop would dare to help you. Unless someone is willing to be kicked out of the workshop for this 100,000 yuan."
The guy with dark circles under his eyes revealed an expression of helplessness.
In the workshop, Master Qu represented absolute authority. Expelling an apprentice was only a matter of time for him.
Qi Yuan was silent for a while, then asked tentatively, "Is it possible to complete the embedding of the energy core as long as one can control the energy carefully?"
"Of course." The guy with dark circles under his eyes nodded.
"The energy circuit, energy matrix, and contact points connecting the energy core in the blade have all been completed. You only need to place the energy core in and then control the intensity of the energy core's output to connect with the contact points to activate the energy matrix etched on the blade."
The guy with dark circles under his eyes suddenly sighed softly. "The core ability of the energy matrix etched on the blade is to pour out energy. When it cuts into the enemy's body, it can explode with terrifying lethality by pouring out energy. It can deeply damage the body of a Zerg Beast from the inside. Even if it is a Rank 3 Zerg Beast, as long as its defense is broken by the Decapitator, it can cause huge damage in an instant."
"This manufacturing process that perfectly blends physical weapons and destructive energy is Qu Shi's unique skill. Back then, the Black Steel Shelter's Biological and Mechanical Laboratory invited Qu Shi into the laboratory for this unique skill of his."
"If anyone can master this unique skill, I'm afraid that they will soon receive an invitation from the Biological and Mechanical Laboratory. Not only will they become a permanent resident of the Black Steel Shelter, but they will also be able to enter the laboratory. At least, they will be able to obtain a good identity and authority."
Qi Yuan held the Decapitator and tried to use the frost energy stored in the energy heart to sense the contact points connecting the energy core in the card. Soon, he found a few places with very active energy fluctuations.
In those places where the energy fluctuations were active, Qi Yuan vaguely felt the existence of the energy circuit, but the frost energy could not penetrate it.
Qi Yuan's mind moved and tried to change the intensity of the frost energy input. Under the Energy Control, although he could only use the energy stored in his body, his control of this energy was very precise. The intensity of the energy output could be changed at will.
As the intensity of the frost energy continued to change, suddenly a weak frost energy passed through the contact points connecting the energy core and entered the energy matrix along the energy channel.
The energy matrix on the blade faintly appeared with a blue light.
This blue light was very weak, but his eyes never left the Decapitator's dark circles, and he was keenly aware of the changes in the blade.
"This … What's going on?
I seem to see a node in the energy matrix being activated! "The dark circles said in disbelief.
Qi Yuan's mind moved and dispersed the input of frost energy. The light of the energy matrix also disappeared.
Energy Control. The precise control of energy seemed to be able to meet the requirements of the energy core inlay!
The dark circles man spoke subconsciously and did not lower his voice. A few young people with tired eyes next to him, as if they had been pulling all-nighters for a few days and could die at any time, heard the sound and came over.
"The Decapitator's energy matrix has been activated?
Where is it? "
"Isn't it not activated?
There is no energy core!
You lied to your father! "
"You must be hallucinating. Hurry up and rest!
If you continue to endure, I'm afraid you will die in the studio! "
"You actually believe that a combat ability user can activate the Decapitator's energy matrix. Your brain must be fried!"
…
"I just saw a node of the energy matrix being lit up. Am I really hallucinating?"
The dark circles man wiped his eyes, looked at Qi Yuan, and then looked at the Decapitator. He instantly fell into deep self-doubt.
How could a crude Combat Domain activate the energy matrix?!
I must be seeing things!
How long has it been since I rested?
Three days or four days?
No, if I don't sleep now, I might really die suddenly!
"I'm going to rest first!"
The dark circles man muttered to himself. Before he left, he patted Qi Yuan's shoulder earnestly.
"It is more cost-effective to change to another weapon. There are only two people in the entire Iron Chariots who can complete the energy core inlay process. One is Qu Shi, and the other is Leader Ling You. Don't be angry with this Decapitator."
"Give me a frost attribute energy core!" Qi Yuan said.
The dark circles man shook his head. He was still so stubborn.
If he dared to compete with Master Qu in the studio, he would probably leave with his tail between his legs. A Wolf's Teeth Hunt was far from enough to make Qu Shi change his mind. Even if Zhao came personally, it would be impossible.
Before he left, the dark circles man took out a frost attribute energy core from the studio and gave it to Qi Yuan.
Although Qu Shi had a strange temper, he never went back on his words. Since he proposed to let Qi Yuan complete the inlay himself, he would not make things difficult for him.
