He stretched out his fingers to make a ?scissors? sign but ended up showing a ?1001?, what on earth? Did he think that others did not know body language?

?If one is able to re-create 1001 magical weapons and armor every day, that is considered quite fast,? said Zhong Yutang.

Lu Shu said after giving it some thought, ?I request for Wei Wu Army?s supplies to be prioritised, because we have to set off whenever the space pathway opens. Moreover we will only bring Ouyang Lishang away and the other experts will be left with you. I will also ask Ouyang Lishang to teach them as much knowledge as possible so it can be passed down in the Heavenly Network. All of you can then take your time to create the weapons in the future.?

This shocked Zhong Yutang for a moment. When did he sound as though he would never come back again? Especially the sentence on ?passing down in the Heavenly Network?.

?You are not certain too?? said Zhong Yutang.

He had interacted with Lu Shu for too long. He led the team the first time they went to the Beimang remains and encountered Lu Shu inside it. Afterwards, he refused to pick up Lu Shu?s call and Lu Shu climbed up his window. After that, along with Heavenly King Nie, he forced Lu Shu to become the Heavenly King.

All along, they had never drank together or had heart to heart talks after they got drunk. However, for some reason, when Zhong Yutang saw Lu Shu, he felt extremely pitiful.

Although nobody said that they were good friends of each other, who could deny that? If anyone asked Zhong Yutang about whether he was friends with Lu Shu, Zhong Yutang would definitely answer with certainty, yes.

Lu Shu smiled as he looked at Zhong Yutang, ?Don?t worry about me, you should worry for my enemy.?

Zhong Yutang said sincerely, ?I am worried about both parties…?

Lu Shu contemplated before saying, ?I don?t know whether that is a good thing or a bad thing??

?I hope all of you can return safely…? said Zhong Yutang, ?If all of you plan to return.?

?Rest assured,? smiled Lu Shu as he looked at Zhong Yutang, ?If I stay alive, I will definitely return.?

Zhong Yutang was the Chief Manager of the Heavenly Network and the Heavenly Network protected the place. Therefore, they could not leave their roles to help Lu Shu and felt terrible. If they were free, they would have left with Lu Shu. However, they could not.

?Oh by the way, creating 1001 weapons in a day, how long do the experts have to work for?? asked Zhong Yutang suddenly.

?I said one day…? explained Lu Shu.

Zhong Yutang was astonished, ?One whole day of work? Do you treat them as animals??

?Rest assured, they won?t die.? Lu Shu said and went back home.

The weapon experts were going crazy. Initially, Ouyang Lishang taught them how to create weapons at a very fast speed and allowed them to make some hands-on experiments on the helmets as he could fix their mistakes.

However, the experts suddenly realized that they were not there to learn but rather there to work.

Although hands-on practice allowed them to learn faster, they felt that they spent too long doing the hands-on practices! Even apprentices in the historical world did not suffer such a treatment, right?

The overseas experts usually boasted about the Heavenly Network?s skills. However, who expected the top experts to be abused and exploited in such a manner?

Thank goodness, they were all practitioners and could bear with it. However, they gradually realized that the break time was customized to practitioners of respective levels of capabilities.

Those with lower levels of capabilities could rest for approximately three hours while those with slightly higher levels of capabilities rested for about two hours. Everyone felt like dying from the torture but their bodies were alright…

The person who scheduled their break times must be extremely familiar with the practitioners as he had to understand their limits. In fact, everyone speculated that the Ninth Heavenly King did the planning by himself.

In the past, they heard that the Ninth Heavenly King was extremely cunning, now, they finally understood it…

Of course, everyone felt fortunate because they finally gained ?recognition? for their weapons expertise. At least, they knew how to continue down this path in the future.

Everyone respected Ouyang Lishang. Specialists were needed for certain fields and those who were experts were respected.

However, Ouyang Lishang was like an old master in a small workshop who was unkind to his apprentices. When he found out that someone made a mistake, he would not hesitate to kick and punch that person.

To be honest, Ouyang Lishang had always taught his apprentices in this manner. Moreover, he only brought up the ?son apprentice?, which meant that the apprentice was brought up in his house and was treated like his son. Therefore, Ouyang Lishang was not lenient with his apprentices at all.

How would a father be lenient to his son? Ouyang Lishang believed that if he was too lenient, his apprentices would not excel. Only a strict mentor could produce outstanding students!

COMMENT

The eldest elder felt that this would not work. He discussed with Ouyang Lishang, ?Look, we are not young anymore, if you continue to kick and scold them like this…?

Ouyang Lishang stared at him, ?Why do we need to respect them? You aren?t young anymore? How old are you??

The elder was stunned. ?I am almost 70.?

?Only 70 years old, I am almost 900,? said Ouyang Lishang.

The experts were confused.

They looked at each other in astonishment, how could that make sense? This was the first time they heard someone use the word ?only? to describe a 70 year-old.

Then, when Lu Shu discovered this when he went to the laboratory, he stopped Ouyang Lishang immediately and said, ?Times have changed. You can?t use that old-fashioned way to teach your apprentices. You have to be civilised!?

Ouyang Lishang was arrogant when meeting others but listened to Lu Shu immediately. This shocked the other experts…

?Elder, rest assured, I will take note of that, I will be civilised!? Ouyang Lishang did not even have to think about how to flatter Lu Shu and said immediately.

The experts were stunned. Ouyang Lishang, who was almost 900 years old, called Lu Shu an ?elder?? Then how old was Lu Shu…

Wasn?t the Ninth Heavenly King in his teens, the experts thoughts were going wild in the experimental lab…

After two days, they realized that Ouyang Lishang listened to Lu Shu. When he said that he would be civilised, he really became civilised.

?Let?s be content,? sighed the chief elder of the expert team, ?Now, at least he bows to us before kicking us…?
