53: Chapter 53 Balance is Broken Again 53: Chapter 53 Balance is Broken Again Zhao Guang seemed to recall something, and pulled a book from his bag, which recorded information about Jade. “This is it, help me look around to see if there’s any. Yes, it’s a kind of stone, an ordinary stone on the surface, but inside you can cut out these beautiful stones.” “This? Is it some kind of gemstone, what does it do?” The elder looked at it curiously. But it must be said, the album was really exquisite, as if it were real. At least their Beastman side absolutely couldn’t produce such refined items. “Isn’t this just an ordinary stone, what’s it good for?” Kapas became lively again. “It is stone, but not just any stone, it’s a kind of building and sculpting material. Many people on our side need this stuff to make statues,” Zhao Guang said without blinking. “I see, we’ll look for it when we have time.” Suddenly, the elder looked at Kapas, who had strapped the plate to his left arm, and directly said, “Have you figured out how you want to use it?” There were no prescribed uses for weapons here, it’s all about what worked best. This was completely different from the human side. Kapas nodded, “We’ve figured it out, human arrows aren’t very fast, and as long as they are not too many, we can barely make them out. So with just this shield, we can block all of them.” Then Kapas patted Zhao Guang on the shoulder: “We really owe you one this time, we had been planning to make armor out of it, but now we don’t have to bother.” Beastmen had poor blacksmithing skills, few blacksmiths, and their craftsmanship was very rough. Leaving these people to make armor was less effective than using Zhao Guang’s iron plate. “Originally it was supposed to be armor? Why not craft weapons,” Zhao Guang said offhandedly. But Zhao Guang also realized that these Beastmen’s reaction skills seemed higher than he had thought. Initially, this item was meant to serve as a Chestplate Mirror for the Beastmen, increasing their defensive power. Now it seemed, no Chestplate Mirror was needed at all. Given the Beastmen’s reactions, it was better to strap it to the arm as a shield rather than wearing it. As long as it wasn’t a vital area, even if hit by arrows, it wouldn’t pose too much of a problem. Human poison was powerful, but the massively usable types were not of the strong variety. Except for a few with weaker constitutions, other Beastmen could withstand it for quite a long time. Thinking about it, to continuously stand off against these monster-like Beastmen, those humans must also be quite strong. It seemed that he still knew too little about them. Now he realized, ever since he had practiced the Breathing Technique, his stamina had increased greatly. After using the Holy Spring once, Zhao Guang felt that his stamina might have already surpassed that of an average athlete. If he kept improving like this, those so-called first-level martial arts athletes could not compare to him at all, could they? Kapas, excitedly waving his shield, performed various blocking actions. “Of course, we were originally going to make weapons, but then we found out, we really didn’t need to make weapons.” “Yes, we already had weapons, and now we can do even better. With this weapon modification, human armor won’t stand a chance,” hearing this, Zhao Guang became curious. “What kind of weapons? What makes you so confident?” Kapas pulled out a big stick from behind: “This is the one, just one hit and those humans will be down.” Zhao Guang looked at the stick, and why did it look like a mace? On the surface, it was a wooden stick, very brutish in style, with many spikes on it. These spikes, under the sunlight, twinkled with sharp cold light. Wait, why do those spikes look somewhat familiar, Zhao Guang thought, frowning. “These, could it be, could they be those arrowheads?” Suddenly, Zhao Guang’s eyes widened, no wonder it looked so familiar, these were none other than the arrowheads from the arrows he had sold to Yars. He had not expected that after the arrows reached the Beastmen, they would be used as spikes on their maces. “Hahaha, it’s those arrowheads, those humans would never have guessed.” Kapas swung the club joyfully, and Zhao Guang quickly moved away, fearing being hit by this guy. “Previously the arrowheads from the humans were too soft, some were even reluctant to use iron, they just sharpened the ends and used them. Really, previously all the iron was sent to the blacksmiths, and couldn’t be used at all.” That seems like the real use, you guys really seem to lack metal, huh? “So this time, why wasn’t it sent to the blacksmiths?” Zhao Guang thought helplessly to himself. Now, with added armor and powerful attacks, the strength of these Beastmen seems to have increased too much. This is bad, the balance has been disrupted again, it is necessary to enhance the strength on the human side. If the balance is completely destroyed, how is he supposed to continue his business in the future? At this time, the elder spoke: “No choice, this time, for some reason, the quality of the humans’ arrowheads was too good, they were very difficult for our blacksmiths to remold, so they had to be left behind.” What? Because the quality is too good, you can’t use them? How poor are the Beastmen’s smelting skills, Zhao Guang couldn’t even imagine. In this world, the polarization seems even more severe, the upper and lower levels are completely like two different species. Even though they could possess powerful forces through cultivation, why is it that the fundamentals are so poorly developed. From this, it can be seen that perhaps the human side is also not doing very well. Zhao Guang’s mind whirred, it seemed there were many business opportunities here. “That must be really tough on you guys,” Zhao Guang said insincerely while thinking to himself. “Tough? Not tough at all. Even when there was iron, it was always sent someplace else to be used. This time is perfect, it can be left for our own use, we must really show those humans the power of the Beastmen.” Show the power? One hit with that club, and a normal person would surely turn into mince. “Alright, alright, stop showing off your clubs in front of Lord Zhao Guang, let’s talk about trade instead.” The elder waved his hand impatiently, sending Kapas off to prepare for the feast, then turned to Zhao Guang. “As for magic items, there are some available for common people too, but most don’t have much battle effect.” Hmm? So these Beastmen do have goods, as for battle effects, what do I need battle effects for?
