My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 272 - 191: Let’s Try Jinling First

As soon as the old man spoke.

The high-ranking members of the Security Army immediately stared at Luo Mountain,

almost as if they wanted to carve the words 'hurry up and agree' onto their faces.

Luo Mountain: "..."

He understood.

This group of Security Army was already impatient.

Actually, he could understand them.

Without deploying large-scale weapons, the Security Army could only assist the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

After all, they are ordinary people, no matter how well-trained, they can't do much against clearly abnormal Empowerers and activated legends.

In this situation, feeling aggrieved is the least of their worries.

...Losing control over the Celestial Strategy Mansion, or more accurately, the Security Army losing its deterrent power, is the most terrifying thing.

The Celestial Strategy Mansion is a compromise... originally, the Security Army had a strong deterrent power.

But as time passed and old events were forgotten, the Celestial Strategy Mansion got on track.

The deterrent power of the Security Army began to gradually weaken.

Although control is still there.

After all, regardless of anything, the Celestial Strategy Mansion combined with Kunlun could never truly resist the state machinery.

But the weakening of the Security Army's deterrent power is an indisputable fact.

And this new weapon is undoubtedly an opportunity.

However...

Luo Mountain slowly looked towards Chen Lusi.

Does the Security Army not know... at the current stage of the weapon, there is a crucial step that cannot be replaced at all?

Moreover, this step must be completed by a member of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

On the other side.

The old man noticed Luo Mountain's gaze and suddenly laughed: "Luo Mountain, stop thinking, you're just overthinking it."

Luo Mountain: "..."

"Do you think in this matter, without Ji Xin, we would completely ignore it?"

The old man shook his head again, then smiled lightly: "That little girl specifically talked to me before I set off. She said — 'The Security Army has always been on the outside, unable to intervene, so the top levels will always hold a skeptical attitude towards the existence of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.'"

Luo Mountain was slightly startled, then showed a sudden understanding expression, his face changing slightly.

"Understand?"

The old man said softly: "This time, the Security Army is not just doing it for themselves; it's also for the Celestial Strategy Mansion, and of course for Kunlun as well."

Speaking of this.

He paused for a moment, then looked at the puzzled Chen Lusi, smiled kindly at him, and continued: "As for you, Chen Lusi, I also understand your intentions. Ji Xin's response to me was to trust him, as did Li Zheng and Zhou Jian.

I am very aware that building complete trust takes some time... but I am very willing to trust young people first."

"..."

Luo Mountain remained silent for a moment, then slowly exhaled: "I understand, the first batch of new 'Tip' weapons can be delivered within a week. As for the quantity... a total of eighty pieces, of which ten are equipped with 'Che Xin' tier stones."

"One hundred."

The old man shook his head: "The number of weapons equipped with 'Che Xin' tier stones is doubled."

Luo Mountain hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Additionally."

The old man seemed to think of something: "Ji Xin said that calling such weapons 'Tip' is no longer appropriate, he suggested changing it to 'Celestial Punishment', I think it's quite fitting, so let's call it that from now on."

"Celestial Punishment... fine."

Regarding this, Luo Mountain had no objections.

After all, names are just superficial.

"Then I look forward to the delivery of your first batch of 'Celestial Punishment'."

The old man left with a final sentence, then glanced meaningfully at Chen Lusi before he was about to turn around and leave.

And when other high-ranking members of the Security Army saw the expression on the old man's face, they roughly understood the result, exchanged glances, and all showed expressions of excitement.

Many looked at the 'Celestial Punishment' weapons on the table and then at Chen Lusi standing there, even lightly clenching their fists.

Until.

The officer who had been accompanying the old man turned and coughed.

Only then did they come back to their senses and head grandly towards the exit.

On the other side.

Chen Lusi kept noticing stares landing on him, he wasn't surprised but just felt a little uncomfortable.

It wasn't until the high-ranking Security Army members made their grand exit that the discomfort eased.

"...Let's try again next."

Luo Mountain noticed the gazes from the high-ranking Security Army members.

He knew what it meant: for the Security Army, the 'Celestial Punishment' weapon developed by Chen Lusi carried significant weight!

This, coupled with the influence of Li Zheng and others, as well as Chen Lusi's past performance...

Tsk tsk tsk.

It's not hard to guess how the Security Army would view this Chen Lusi, who hasn't even condensed his stone yet.

For this, Luo Mountain actually felt quite emotional.

However, this thought only lasted for a while.

Soon.

Luo Mountain put it behind him.

After all... he is really not interested in these matters.

"Try what?"

Chen Lusi noticed the time and did not object.

"Pistol."

Luo Mountain said softly: "Li Zheng mentioned that you could also wield great power using a pistol, right? Just one shot... and you blow off the head of the First Rider Position's leader Hamiti."

Chen Lusi nodded: "You could say that, but..."

His sentence wasn't even finished, just barely started.

Simultaneously.

On the other side.

Swish.

The high-ranking Security Army members who were about to leave suddenly halted their steps.

Then, they all turned around, once again staring intensely at Chen Lusi.

And soon they, with almost forgotten expressions, all turned back.

They didn't leave.

Chen Lusi: "..."

Luo Mountain: "..."

...

In the end.

Luo Mountain didn't manage to test the power of the 'Celestial Punishment' pistol.

Because he temporarily didn't have the 'Tip' pistol for quickly detaching stones at hand.

However, the high-ranking Security Army members didn't leave disappointed.

Because they were about to leave anyway...

The most important thing is, Kunlun is full of confidence in producing the 'Celestial Punishment' pistol! This alone was enough to send them home on a high note.

And that night.

Just as Chen Lusi left the seventh underground level.

Outside.

Under the cover of night.

A member of the Security Army, carrying a bulging paper bag, quickly approached a certain room.

As soon as he entered the door.

He immediately slowed his steps, then handed the paper bag forward.

Soon, a pair of old hands took the paper bag.

After the Security Army member left.

The old man sat down, slowly untied the paper bag, pulled out the contents, and began to carefully examine them.

About twenty minutes later.

The old man slowly put down the data in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Under the light.

A three-inch photo of Chen Lusi reflected a faint glow...

At the same time.

In Jinling.

This famous historical and cultural city was also shrouded in night. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Undoubtedly.

This is a city full of charm.

But what exactly is the city's charm... surely everyone has different opinions.

It could be the famous scenic sites.

It could be the duck blood vermicelli soup.

It could also be... the bloodstains from old dynasties scattered in the earth.

"It's really a pity."

A horse-faced man stood at a high place, looking down at the Six Dynasties Ancient Capital, slowly opened his hand, breathing in the fresh air, and muttered: "I wasn't born in that era..."
