Chapter 103: S-Grade Alloy Combat Suit
“The M4088 nuclear missile launcher fires W-55 nuclear warheads that are over twenty-kilograms, and those warheads come in two different yields: ten tones or twenty tons.” Cheng Dongfeng introduced.
Clearly, he had hastily memorized the data, and could not continued after that. Instead, he barked at the driver’s seat of the truck, and a young man wearing a military-uniform got off.
“Jiang He, this is the weapon specialist Commander Chen sent you specially. You may ask him if you have something you don’t understand.”
The youth was rather reserved, and said, “Hello, Mister Jiang.”
Meanwhile, after taking a long look at the M4088 rocket launcher Cheng Donfeng was holding, Jiang He could not help asking, “What’s the effective range of that thing?”
“There are two different launchers for the M4088, and this variant is the 155cm M29 launcher, which has a range of four kilometers.”
“What about precision? The explosive radius? Would there be radiation?”
“The range of the M4088 is longer than its explosive radius, and its effective range include radiation, heat, shrapnel shockwave…”
Then, seemingly understanding Jiang He’s worries, the young military man paused before quietly explaining, “But its accuracy is lacking… that is why I suggest immediately ducking behind cover after using it.”
“…”
Jiang He was rather stumped.
At the same time, the young military man introduced the other weapons.
There were two newly developed gatling cannons, a more powerful weapon with a greater rate of fire developed based on the principle of gatling guns.
Moreover, it was equipped with a hundred thousand alloy armor-piercing shells, and a barrage could blow up even rank-seven martial arts grandmasters!
“This stuff is not bad.”
Jiang He nodded and praised.
He would strengthen those with Mysterious Soil and put one on both sides of the gate. Who would dare to intrude after that?”
There were also the Vulcan rotary cannons which was another new military development, weighing just 18 kilos. It was easy to carry around, fires rapidly and would not easily blow up.
Jiang He was a little uncertain at that.
Were the gatling cannon and the Vulcan actually different things?
Still, he did not ask any questions, since it might just be different models.
Moreover, the only shortcoming about his reward was that there were only three W-55 nuclear warheads provided for his M4088 launcher, with two being the 10-ton variant and one being the 20-ton variant.
“Please wait for a moment. I’ve got something to do, and you could send the stuff back to my house when I’m done.”
Jiang He told the two men before heading to Mu Wanqiu’s office.
Mu Wanqiu had already prepared the blended qi pellets, whereas Jiang He had taken out the two S-grade alloy weapons from his System Backpack as well.
After that, Mu Wanqiu sent for her evaluation specialists, who soon decided on a price—
The S-grade alloy sword was worth 45 million, whereas the staff adorned with a dragon head and bearing a hidden blade was worth 52 million.
“If that’s the case… I’ll have it rounded up for Mister Jiang.”
“Two weapons for one hundred million, what do you think?”
“The Feral corpses before total up to fourteen million and the horned boar is worth thirty-eight million. Counting in the two weapons would make a total of a hundred and fifty-two million, and after deducting the blended qi pellets for thirty million, I would still have to wire you a hundred and twenty-two million.”
Mu Wanqiu appeared quite generous.
Still, the truth was that she was still profiting despite the price.
Both weapons were maintained in perfect condition, and they could be either melted down or resold—of course, she would resell them at a higher price.
Nonetheless, Jiang He was quite surprised.
The alloy weapons were much more valuable than he thought, but that was nothing too surprising. With the rank-seven Ferals and corpses laying a foundation with a dozen millions and the rank-eight horned boar earning him at least thirty, it made sense that the S-grade weapons were a little expensive.
However, Mu Wanqiu stopped him when he was about to leave.
“I have something I need your help with, Mister Jiang.”
“What is it?”
“Well, the Superpower Research Department has been conducting an experiment recently that needs the blood of rank-six Ferals. Rank-seven blood would be better, of course, but we are especially in need of living blood samples, which is why we require several rank-six Ferals and one rank-seven—all of them alive.”
Mu Wanqiu smiled. “You’re formidable and a beast tamer at that, which is why we need your help in capturing several Ferals.”
Jiang He, however, frowned. “My beast taming style is rather special… I might end up with severe casualties.”
“That’s fine, since we would never lack Ferals in this day and age.”
Mu Wanqiu quickly said. “The Superpower Research Department would reward you generously, of course, and would even provide you with a floral spirit if you could capture a rank-seven Feral alive.”
Floral spirit?
Musing to himself for a moment, Jiang He then nodded, which counted as agreeing to it.
Mu Wanqiu was all smiles, rose to her feet, and shook Jiang He’s hand. “Very well. I’ll arrange for my people to keep an eye out, and would inform you when we’ve found suitable targets.”

After leaving the Superpower Research Department, Jiang He went to greet Cheng Dongfeng and the young military man.
The young military man boarded the military truck, whereas Cheng Dongfeng sniggered as he climbed into Jiang He’s sports call, looking around enviously as he took a seat. “I’ve heard before that your sports car in an unmanned vehicle… I’ve heard that the technology had been developed years ago, but I’ve never heard of one installed in a sports car…”
Jiang He could not continue the conservation.
Would Cheng Dongfeng believe him if he planted it out?
Meanwhile, he activated the voice control and picked his destination.
The car started forward, with the military truck following behind.
That was when Cheng Dongfeng became serious and said, “Jiang He, three Grands of the Sky Demon Cult and their Sixth Elder are still in hiding within Lingzhou’s jurisdiction. Still, you don’t have to worry—Commander Chen has taken up residence near your village, and you just have to unleash your aura if the Sky Demon Cult really tries anything against you. He would sense it immediately and head over.”
“Oh?”
Jiang He exclaimed in surprise. “Isn’t Commander Chen going back to Yuzhen?”
“That’s just for show.”
Cheng Dongfeng smiled. “He returned discreetly later. Would the Sky Demon Cult dare to show up if he hangs around in Lingzhou City? Instead of having them hide, we should lure those snakes out of their caves and wipe them all out at once.”
“You don’t have to worry about your safety. There is still another container on the military truck behind us, loaded with an S-grade combat suit. Consider that your commendation.”
There was envy all over Cheng Dongfeng’s face. “You should know that even rank-nine martial artists would have a hard time tearing through S-grade combat suits. It’s worth ten times the price of S-grade alloy weapons—in fact, the set of combat suit I had which was imbued with a little S-grade alloy cost me over a hundred million bucks.”
Jiang He’s eyes twinkled then.
S-grade…
Combat suit?
Could he plant that?
“Hmm…”
“Am I possessed or something? Why am I thinking about planting everything?”
“That said, if I really did plant one and strengthened it with some Mysterious Soil, is it possible that I’ll get an even stronger combat suit?”
