TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 189

Chapter 189: Chicken Rib

Luo Shuyou let Su Nanle go, ceasing to pursue him, and got back to the point, saying, “Alright, tell me how this thing is actually used.”

Su Nanle revived in a second, vibrantly saying, “No, no, no, no, let me first tell you why Wu Zixiao has something from my aunt’s research institute. Let me tell you, I’m not bragging, just relying on this little thing, our Su family has made a fortune. Other families can’t make things with the same power, so they have to buy from my family, hehe!”

“And then use something bought from your family to kill people from your family?”

“What are you talking about? Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Do you know how precious this thing is? It costs a lot of Jīngpò to make, and the people who buy it have to provide even higher-value items in exchange. It’s not like people have to be killed. Who would needlessly fight another group to the death? Everyone just kills if they can, robs if they can. If they can’t kill or rob, there’s no need to go to great lengths to kill the other person, right? There’s no deep hatred. The only thing that could warrant using this kind of thing is a life-threatening zombie!”

The people at the research institute are reluctant to use high-level Jīngpò to make weapons. That iron ball is made by extracting the energy of hundreds or thousands of level one and two Jīngpò bit by bit, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Luo Shuyou looked at Su Nanle with pity, like looking at an idiot, “Didn’t he just try to kill Xie YunChuan with this?” The truth is right in front of you, how can this fool keep talking nonsense with his eyes open? At such a young age, he’s either blind or stupid, how pitiful!

“Oh, that’s different. For the Jīngpò, let alone one iron ball, ten would be worth it. If that iron ball could really be exchanged for the Jīngpò, the Wu family would definitely be willing to empty their coffers to buy my family’s iron ball. Of course, my family definitely wouldn’t sell it.”

“Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and tell me, how do you use this black iron egg?”

Su Nanle muttered in a low voice, “Why are you so anxious to know? Anyway, you can’t use it any more than I can. No, you’re even worse than me.”

“Are you going to talk or not? If you don’t, I’ll smash it on your face?” Luo Shuyou threatened, pretending to raise the hand holding the iron ball.

Su Nanle habitually shrank back, using his hands to shield his face, “Don’t!” After realizing it, he put down his hands and calmly stepped forward, making a face and sticking out his tongue, saying in a snide tone, “Blegh, it’s useless even if you smash it on my face, it won’t explode.”

Luo Shuyou said gloomily, “Then tell me, would you know if an iron ball smashed on your face would hurt?”

Su Nanle quickly covered his face and retreated, “You… don’t really smash me, it would hurt a lot.”

“Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and tell me.” Luo Shuyou put down his hand. It’s really annoying, holding it makes his arm sore, he really wants to smash it down and kill this guy who can’t stop talking nonsense.

“Okay, okay, I’ll tell you, why do you have to be so fierce?”

Su Qingshan walked over at some point. Hearing Su Nanle’s affected and coquettish voice, he gave him a head-splitting slap, “You want to die? You’re a grown man, talk properly!” In the blink of an eye, he smiled at Luo Shuyou and said, “Hey, Shuyou, you guys chat, you guys chat.”

Su Nanle was inexplicably ambushed from behind and slapped. If it weren’t for the immediately following voice being his old man’s full-throated lecture, he might have pushed back. Fortunately, his old man’s voice was highly recognizable. By the time he turned around to look, Su Qingshan had already returned to join Xie YunChuan and the others in interrogating Wu Zixiao and the other two.

Su Nanle complained in a low voice, “Why did you suddenly come over and slap me?”

“Maybe he sensed how much you deserved to be hit.” To be honest, Luo Shuyou wanted to hit him too, that annoying sound, that annoying voice, ugh~! What’s with that?

Seeing Luo Shuyou’s expression that was on the verge of exploding, Su Nanle didn’t dare to say any more nonsense, “Oh, this little iron ball is, ordinary people don’t have the ability to detonate it. Think about it, he’s storing so much power in such a small iron shell under extreme compression, so the outer shell definitely can’t be made of something of ordinary strength that would be cracked open. The outer skin is made of a special material that is very tough.

Only a strike that can store power and concentrate it at a single point to release a powerful piercing force can pierce the weakest point and instantly detonate, releasing a huge amount of energy to produce an explosion.

It’s like a balloon that’s been inflated to the fullest being pricked by a needle and instantly exploding. This strike requires extremely high precision, needing both sufficient toughness, so it won’t break when hitting the ball, and super-strong piercing power, to pierce that hard shell. This not only requires a high Jīngpò level but also requires the ability user to have a high degree of familiarity with controlling their powers. Currently, only capable level six ability users or higher-level level seven ability users can do this.”

“So useless?” Luo Shuyou said quickly. This thing is purely a tasteless and regrettable but difficult-to-make exquisite trinket. If you don’t have enough ability, you can’t use it, and if you have a strong ability, you generally won’t need it.

“Don’t be ignorant, let me tell you, even if you’re a level six or seven ability user, you’re still human. Compared to zombies in terms of consumption and numbers, if you enter the zombie city, no matter how powerful you are, many people will still be lost inside. Just this little iron ball can kill all the level six and below zombies that are surrounding you, so it’s a huge help.”

“That’s true, it’s useful. Put it away, put it away.” As Luo Shuyou said this, he securely put the thing in his pocket.

Su Nanle opened his eyes wide with envy, just watching, and said in a weak voice, “Just… just put it away like that?” Then, as if self-consoling, he muttered, “Anyway, you can’t use it.”

Luo Shuyou patted his pocket to make sure the thing was put away properly before raising his head to pay attention to Su Nanle, this resentful woman, “I haven’t even said anything about you yet. Who was it just now who said this thing was prone to misfire?” Who could easily make it misfire? It would have to be a mobile nuclear weapon that could easily detonate this iron ball with a simple flick of a finger, right?

Su Nanle laughed awkwardly, “Hehe, alarmist talk, alarmist talk, I was just scaring you.”

Luo Shuyou: “……!”

Good upbringing allowed him to resist the urge to slap this guy to death.
