In the Blade

Chapter 434 Shield

In fact, Du Chengfeng has always had a problem.

As we all know, if there are sharp spears that can pierce the human body, there must be solid shields that can resist the spears. In this world, since weapons have incredible power because of people's will, why has there been no means of defending against these weapons until now?

You must know that in ordinary people's battles, those soldiers know to wear armor to protect their bodies. Those armors are even good protection when the evil spirit enters the body - but once the evil spirit is released, it immediately becomes another way of fighting. Everyone seems to have become a glass cannon, with extremely high attack power, but only paper-like defense.

So the question is, do they not want to make some better protective gear?

The answer is no.

At least not in the evil spirit system. After all, the source of evil spirit is the fear and resentment of the dead. That will is attached to the weapon and becomes a part of the weapon, allowing the weapon to kill more fiercely and fight more fiercely. It actually sounds a bit like helping the tiger. The evil spirit left by the dead becomes the ghost of this weapon. Just like the ghost in the story will help the tiger hunt, these evil spirits will also create more dead.

In other words, this is a very aggressive force, born to kill people.

As for defense, it has nothing to do with evil spirit.

"But now..."

Du Chengfeng looked at the stab-proof suit in his hand.

If you just go with the evil spirit system, there is no defense. After all, evil spirit is only suitable for attacking and only suitable for people to attack to the extreme. But now, he already knows that evil spirit is not the only source of power in this world.

Just like the blunt pen in his hand, although it is indeed a weapon with evil spirit, the source of its incredible power has nothing to do with evil spirit.

It is a deeper power, something that directly points to willpower itself.

"This power can be used for more than just killing people."

As someone who has personally experienced that power, Du Chengfeng knows very well how mysterious that power is.

It is an omnipotent power.

"In other words..."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng hurriedly made a few steel wire stab-proof suits and prepared to sell them cheaply to those yamen runners.

It's just a stab-proof suit, which is just ordinary iron that is weaker than armor, but if everyone starts using this thing, then as a prototype, the stab-proof suit in his hand will inevitably produce some incredible power.

"But... hey."

After the thing was made, Du Chengfeng sighed.

The ideal is very full, but in reality, the promotion of this thing will definitely receive considerable resistance - first of all, this thing is not very friendly to wear. Although the dense inner shirt made of fine steel wire is soft, it still feels a bit like wearing armor when worn on the body. Another thing is that most people don’t actually use this. After all, this thing can’t stop the swords and swords of those evil masters.

So at present, the only ones who can use these things are really those yamen runners. At least when facing petty thieves and those iron knives, this thing can really have a defensive effect.

"After a long time, my Unit-01... Why is it a long time again?"

Du Chengfeng frowned, but he still remembered that this was not what he wanted.

What he wanted was a prize that could be taken out immediately, not a big pie that could be expected in the future - indeed, he knew that this thing could be expected in the future, but the problem was that in the eyes of those evil masters, this was just ordinary iron, just a fragile bubble that would break at a poke and was useless.

"We still have to use something ready-made... We can't really kill some evil spirits and use weapons, right?"

Du Chengfeng began to scratch his head.

Although it's not very difficult to really kill some evil spirits, he is still a pacifist after all. He rarely uses evil spirits now, and even his face has become kind-hearted - he hasn't even killed many people recently. He only killed a county magistrate a few days ago, and it was the other party who took the initiative.

It's still a bit inappropriate to sacrifice human lives to soldiers, not to mention that the weapons sacrificed are just for prizes, which is even more unnecessary.

But if the evil spirits don't go away...

"If you don't go away, you can only look forward to the future."

Du Chengfeng's face was a little subtle.

Obviously, even if the evil spirit is a thing with a lot of faults, it at least has the word "fast" - this is even more outrageous than the magical internal skills in those martial arts novels. After all, magical internal skills also need to be practiced to master the power, but the evil spirit, as long as you can withstand the erosion of the evil spirit, you can immediately hold the power in your hands.

Even if you can't stand the erosion of evil spirit, you can actually gain strength. It's nothing more than a crazy person, but it can't be said that a martial madman has no fighting power.

Du Chengfeng himself is even a beneficiary of this system. He can grow from a nobody to the top of the world's first echelon at such a fast speed. Although this is also due to his strong will, the rapid improvement brought by the evil spirit system is also indispensable.

It is precisely because of his personal experience that he understands the benefits of evil spirit. Everyone is rolling up evil spirit, and there is a reason. This thing works too fast, even immediately.

In comparison, although the power of will is deeper and more powerful, this thing is ultimately a more complex system, and it also requires more cost to study.

It's like now, apart from the entertainment time he spends on his hobbies, at other times, whether walking, sitting or lying down, he is actually thinking about how to master this in this devilish idealistic world. The power of will.

This is not even people chasing knowledge, but knowledge chasing people, just like the classic story of "Don't think about the elephant". When he understood all this in depth, when he truly understood the essence of power After the source, it was difficult for him not to think about this aspect.

However, this kind of thing is very inspiring, but I just can't think of any results. In addition, it is getting dark now, so Du Chengfeng tidied up and prepared to go back to eat and sleep first.

On the way back, he saw the neighbors who worshiped the red rabbit.

For the pair of red rabbits, the neighbors worshiped them as if they were something extraordinary. Even Du Chengfeng, who was passing by, was once moved by this piety - but if he thought about it carefully now, he had listened to it during the day. There are really too many mistakes and omissions in the stories about rabbit worship. It is obvious that people don’t actually care that much about rabbit worship.

"Maybe they were just two ordinary rabbits that gradually became incredible because people worshiped them?"

Following his understanding of power, Du Chengfeng instinctively analyzed the situation at hand.

"Just like the bald pen, people have a fixed impression of the judge's pen, so they... wait?"

At the intersection on the street, Du Chengfeng was suddenly stunned.

He felt as if he had overlooked an extremely important issue.

"The reason why Bald Pen is capable is because people have a certain inherent impression of Judge Pen."

Du Chengfeng carefully chewed what he just said.

"In other words... the inherent impression is the key?"

Du Chengfeng slapped his head when he thought of this.

Yes, that's it, the inherent impression is the key. First of all, people's willpower is attached to the Judge's Pen, and they have a certain understanding of the Judge's Pen. Only then will the world's first Judge's Pen have the opportunity to gather all their abilities.

So, if we follow this line of thinking...

Can he skip certain steps?

The Judge Pen is a natural phenomenon. Because there was this prototype first, a system of Judge Pens gradually evolved. In the end, the perception of all Judge Pens in the eyes of the public changed the original perception of them as mere mortal objects. Prototype - this is a normal process, but what if it is replaced by an abnormal process?

For example, he first tells a story and brags about the judge's pen. When everyone feels that this boast is true, does the judge's pen take another form...

"It's like they worship rabbits."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but look at the neighbors who were worshiping him again.

Are rabbits really that sacred? uncertain.

These rabbits may have some abilities, but in truth, there is no such thing as being divine.

But some people worship, some admire, and some believe that these two rabbits are also dyed with a sacred halo.

That is the power of will.

It is far deeper than the evil spirit, the fundamental power of this world.

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng vaguely realized what he should do.

So the next morning, new news came out in Sanshan Town, saying that a new project had been developed here, which not only allowed people to gain enlightenment in the mass graves of Jubao Mountain, but also allowed them to hunt evil monsters freely - I just heard When this statement was made, all the Jianghu knights were confused. Not only these foreign Jianghu knights, but also the government officials responsible for handling this matter were confused.

"Why do you sound like Yuan Zhixian?"

Facing Du Chengfeng who proposed a solution, the government officials were so shocked that their mouths opened.

"Then do we still have to go to the inn and guard the intersection to collect tickets?"

"Then why...it's not right! I want to collect it!"

Du Chengfeng, who was about to push it away, slapped his head.

"Collect it! Not only must it be collected! But it must be collected fiercely! This kind of hunting opportunity is rare, not to mention that we have to engrave their names on the stone tablet and stand it at the door of the inn. Such a good person can become famous. Opportunity, how can they not pay for it?”

"this……"

The government officials were all dumbfounded. They could no longer understand the cook's brain.

Do you think those people in the world are crazy? Others are asking people to come over to help deal with the evil monsters, but they are still collecting money from them, so who would come to a place like this? Why do people come here?

"We will be richly rewarded."

Saying this, Du Chengfeng took out all the guy styles he had created yesterday.

Naturally, one of the sticks was given to each of these government officials. After all, it was agreed upon yesterday. These government officials also liked lightweight things like the sticks. For a while, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves - and after that , Du Chengfeng also took out the steel wire soft armor.

"Try this, it's my absolute must-have."

"...Where did you get it from? If you make armor privately, you will be beheaded!"

The government officials were immediately shocked and threw out the batons they had just received.

It is no wonder that they are so frightened. After all, in this day and age, even if armor is useless against evil spirit masters, it still has enough defense and suppression power to deal with ordinary people, even to the level of evil spirit entering the body. Therefore, armor has always been owned by the court. Privately keeping armor is a serious crime, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

"Don't worry, this is not armor, this thing is called... anti-stab clothing."

Du Chengfeng patted the soft armor.

"Clothes, they are all clothes. At most, the way they are made is a little special, but they are still clothes."

"... Clothes?"

The yamen runners looked at the soft armor with suspicion.

It seems that it can really be considered as clothes. At least this thing is completely inconsistent with the shape of armor. In fact, just looking at the appearance of these soft armors, even if they are really worn as clothes, they are at most a little heavier.

"It is really clothes, but good clothes."

Du Chengfeng continued to introduce the armor in his hand.

"It is cut-proof, fire-proof, and a must-have for home travel. I tell you, this stuff is mixed with silk from the silkworm, lotus root silk, and spider silk. It needs to be woven with special techniques to make this light but strong enough fabric..."

"...Silk? Where is the silk?"

The yamen runners still looked at these armors with suspicion.

There was no way, they really didn't see any other silk on these armors, they could only see thin but flexible steel wire.

There are also silk from the silkworm, lotus root silk, spider silk, etc.... They know the latter two, but what is that silk from the silkworm, the silkworm?

If there is such a thing, why haven't they heard of it at all?

"In short, you just need to know that this thing is very powerful."

Having said this, Du Chengfeng patted these armors again.

"Also, don't look at me like that. You don't think this is some cheap stuff, do you? This is not ordinary iron."

"...Not ordinary iron?"

The yamen runners were stunned. They keenly grasped the key point.

They still knew what ordinary iron was. For example, these weapons without evil spirits in their hands were collectively called ordinary iron.

Not ordinary iron, that means.

"Just like you think."

Du Chengfeng nodded.

"These body armors can resist evil spirits."

"Resist evil spirits, are you kidding?"
