Chapter 98 - Using Leg Hair to Make a Spear
“Oh?I do know someone, but a newly made spear might not suit you right now . I have a few great spears back home . I’ll bring a few back when I return there . ”
Cheng Bi Wu thought that Wei Xiao Bei wanted to custom make a spear so he smiled .
Wei Xiao Bei did not say anything and removed his clothes . The leg hair tied around his waist had attracted Cheng Bi Wu’s attention .
“This is?”
Without waiting for Cheng Bi Wu to finish speaking, Wei Xiao Bei turned around and gently pulled on the tip of the leg hair . Following after, the binding unravelled, letting out a sound while shooting outwards . Because of the force, it hit against the weapon rack, knocking all the weapons to the ground . Landing on the ground, the hair bounced on the rubber mat a few times before stopping .
In reality, the scene had almost made Cheng Bi Wu dumbfounded, even thinking that it was an extremely elastic rubber stick .
However, he knew that Wei Xiao Bei was not the kind of person that loved to play tricks . He moved towards the leg hair and picked it up with his hands .
As he felt it with his hands, he immediately knew that it was not a rubber stick .
It was glossy to the touch and extremely elastic . When he used both hands to smash down on it, he found that it was very tough .
Cheng Bi Wu’s eyes couldn’t help but shine . He turned his head and asked, “Is this the material that you prepared for making the spear?”
Wei Xiao Bei nodded his head and replied, “I picked it up outside . ”
He never expected that his master’s next words almost made him puke blood, “Can you pick up another?”
“Only this one,” Wei Xiao Bei replied bitterly .
Master seems to have taken fancy to this leg hair .
When he thought about it, any martial practitioner would love to have a good weapon . Even his master was the same .
Cheng Bi Wu stared at Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes . He did not ask anymore . In any case, Wei Xiao Bei had been very mysterious for these last few periods of time, so he did not bother asking any further on this matter .
“If this was made into a spear, it would without a doubt be better than a spear made from Chinese ash . ”
Cheng Bi Wu shook the leg hair a few times before carrying it back into the central hall . Wei Xiao Bei and the others naturally followed after him .
The back of the central hall was the place where everyone lived . Further inside was a tiny storehouse .
Cheng Bi Wu let Liu Jian Cheng open the storehouse . Then he opened the lights, and they walked in a single file .
It was the first time Wei Xiao Bei entered this storehouse, so he was curious about it .
There were a lot of things inside the storehouse such as, broken equipment, prototype weapons, deformed weapons, wooden sticks, flags, and whatnot .
It was also easy to see that even Yao Wu, his senior apprentice brother, had only been in there a few times .
When Wei Xiao Bei thought about it, it wasn’t strange . The only reason needed to come in the storehouse would be when equipment breaks .
Cheng Bi Wu threw the leg hair on a wooden desk and took out a tape measure to measure the leg hair . Then he made Wei Xiao Bei widen his stance to measure Wei Xiao Bei’s height, arm, thigh, and many other body parts .
Afterwards, Cheng Bi Wu stared at the ceiling as if thinking about something .
Nobody dared to disturb him, so they also followed suit and stood in a daze .
Soon, Cheng Bi Wu seemed to have finished calculating something and used a writing brush dipped in yellow ink to draw a draft of the spear head . He also made a few marks on the leg hair .
“Ehn, this should be correct . ”
Cheng Bi Wu nodded his head as he looked at the leg hair . He then placed the leg hair in front of a cutting machine, planning to cut the marked parts . As a safety measure, he let Wei Xiao Bei hold down one end, while his left hand held another end . His right hand then operated the cutting machine and pressed the rotating wheel down the leg hair .
Yao Wu was sent to make tea, while Liu Jian Cheng was sent to make the spear head using the milling machine . .
Wei Xiao Bei wanted to use the White Mist Knife as the spear head, but its corrosive property was too conspicuous . Moreover, when he saw Cheng Bi Wu draft the spearhead, the length was more than 30cm . The White Mist Knife was shorter so it did not match .
As a result, Wei Xiao Bei did not say anything anymore .
Wuwuwuwu . The grinding wheel slowly pressed on the leg hair and immediately let out sloshing sounds .
The cutting machine was almost thrown off by the leg hair, so Wei Xiao Bei used his all to hold it down .
After letting the machine cut for a while, Cheng Bi Wu stopped the machine and took a look at the situation .
Wei Xiao Bei also took a look . After cutting for half an hour, only a white mark was left on the leg hair .
Cheng Bi Wu couldn’t help scratch his head in puzzlement, “Isn’t this thing too sturdy?”
Seeing his master’s puzzlement, Wei Xiao Bei could only smile . In truth, he was much more surprised .
Although the cutting machine was not a dedicated model used in factories, cutting steel reinforced bars and iron plates was but a trivial matter for it . At the very least, it would only use up one grinding wheel .
However, the leg hair of the Citizen of Long Bo was too startling . After being grinded for half an hour, only a white mark was left .
Cheng Bi Wu moved his hand on the white mark and rubbed it a bit . He let out a sigh . Luckily, the white mark was rough . This meant that the cutting machine had some effect on it .
“Master?” Seeing that Cheng Bi Wu did not move for a while, Wei Xiao Bie called out .
“Nothing . Let us continue . ”
Wuwuwuwu . Slish, slish . A strange sound once again broke the silence of the night, attracting the neighbor’s protest .
Yao Wu brought in a few cups of tea and closed the door .
Although the storehouse was not able to completely block out the sound, it was enough to stop the protest that would otherwise occur .
Clang!
After cutting for minutes, a brittle sound was made . The grinding wheel that had already started reddening burst . A large fragment had shot out and stuck itself to the wall .
“Master, how about changing a method?”
Wei Xiao Bei was startled by the event .
“No need,” Cheng Bi Wu was not a person who gave up easily . He changed the grinding wheel and the humming resumed .
Clang! The new grinding wheel broke after using it for a while .
Cheng Bi Wu rubbed the white mark again . After breaking two grinding wheels, the white mark had become a little deeper . However, if this continued on, even breaking the 5 remaining grinding wheels would not finish the job
Cheng Bi Wu thought for a moment before taking out two steel containers . On the milky white container, it was written, acetylene . On the yellow container, industry-use oxygen was written .
After putting on a double end nozzle and opening the valves . Cheng Bi Wu used a lighter, and with a whoosh, a pure white flame came out from the end of the nozzle .
Cheng Bi Wu adjusted the size of the flame and then placed the flame on the leg hair .
