Chapter 683 Cooperation?
Cao Shiyan sighed and said, "Well since you want to do it here. We are all second in line. I do not know if you understand, but we are always treated as the first losers in our families. We have no respect, nor do we have anyone to love us."
Shi Lang looked at them and could tell they were telling the truth from their gaze. Yet, he did not empathize with them and asked, "So, what does that have to do with me? You probably do not know, but I am an only child and never faced the competition you do, so forgive me, but I do not care." Yue Hanling stepped forward and said coldly, "Bastard, we are not asking you to care for us. We are enough. Listen before you start spouting shit." Shi Lang glanced at her from head to toe and said, "You sure have a dirty tongue for that pretty face, but fine, continue." Cao Shiyan said, "The family has asked our so-called genius elder siblings to come out and use all means necessary to win the two things on you." Shi Lang nodded, and Cao Shiyan continued, "I am aware that your devices must be very meaningful to you, but still if you can provide us with the plan to manufacture them, we can promise you a share of the profit." The terran smiled and asked, "You people do not have dignity in your own house. How can you promise me a share in the profit? Do you see anything written on my forehead?" Cao Shiyan nodded and spoke sincerely, "Your doubts are reasonable. However, the elder siblings have lived enough. We will be taking over their positions soon." This shocked Shi Lang; he had not expected this bunch to have such a plan. He was sure that whatever was going on in there, these five people stood behind each other in complete support. For a second, he seemed to have seen the glimpse of his Ace Squad back on the federation. Shi Lang replied, "I will not ask you how you intend to achieve how you will this, but what is the surety? After all, your elder siblings are stronger than you." Cao Shiyan smiled and said, "How about this? We will show you ours, and you can show us yours?" Shi Lang narrowed his gaze; he had not expected Cao Shiyan to act so confidently. He thought briefly and asked, "Sure, mine is easy to show, and it will motivate you guys. I will go first. Come along." The group of people was surprised, but they still followed Shi Lang quickly. The terran took them to the zone where wolves lived. It was dark, and the beasts were already active. Shi Lang said, "We are looking for a lone wolf, not the pack. They have Beast kings among them, and I do not wish to live with their hatred on me." The people nodded, and after searching for fifteen minutes, Carl Hamilton suddenly released a low whistle, and everyone gathered around him. Shi Lang smiled and said, "Thank you for your contribution. Now, please enjoy the show." Shi Lang found the tracks of a wolf, and the hunt began. The people did not know what he would do, so they followed him. After walking several meters, Shi Lang waved his hand for them to stop. He said, "Converge your spiritual energy flow. Only watch there." The terran pointed in a direction, and the people spotted a wolf chowing down on a deer. This was the most common prey. Shi Lang crouched on the ground and took out his sniper rifle. He took out a bullet and showed it to the people. The group was hooked. Cao Shiyan mumbled, "Array formations?" Shi Lang nodded. He knew this guy was a brainiac, which also saved him a lot of time. Shi Lang charged the bullet and placed it inside the firing chamber. He used the bolt to load the weapon and aimed it at the wolf. The trigger was squeezed, and the bullet flickered through the void and penetrated the skull of the beast with pinpoint accuracy. The shot was silent, and the distance shocked the five people the most. Shi Lang did not use his spiritual sense just now, so how could he make a shot at the wolf with such an error? The terran could sense his intent gaze and said, "I placed a telescopic vision array on the two crystals embedded on the top of the barrel." The group looked at each other, and they did not know that someone could combine these seemingly useless array formations to come up with such a nice weapon. Shi Lang said while walking, "It may look like this weapon is only useful at the low-level cultivators. However, the fact is that it can be used by Immortal Emperors too. It is just that this particular specimen cannot store more spiritual energy." Cao Shiyan said, "If what you said is true, then this weapon will replace bow and arrow completely." Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "This weapon may seem efficient, but it has its own requirements. You need to clean it every once in a while, and for that, you need an array expert who can get around the array patterns without damaging them. This is such a complicated process. The people who are looking to manufacture these in big batches. They are risking the lives of their people." Yue Hanling asked, "What do you mean by that?" Shi Lang crouched down near the dead wolf while saying, "The barrels will explode if it is clogged up. The array patterns will explode if they are damaged during maintenance. Imagine the damage this ordinance can do if it is charged with spiritual energy and explodes near the user?" The five people shivered at the thought. Xuan Qiling asked, "Can you tell me why you are inputting the spiritual energy into your projectile just now?" Shi Lang nodded and replied, "The steel used for this projectile is just your average metal. Without the aid of my spiritual energy, it will not be able to penetrate the head of the earth-back wolf. This guy has a diamond-like skin." The terran stopped paying attention to them and began cleaning the corpse to extract meat and tradeable parts. The five people conversed with each other using spiritual communication. After Shi Lang was done, he asked, "Tell me, do you think it is worth cooperating with me now?"
