Starting From Zero

Chapter 12 Super Weapon

The Jade Emperor's head was so big when he saw the huge scroll. He was already prepared to bleed when leader Hong Jun told him to pay compensation, but now he was really frightened when he saw this huge scroll.

Seeing the Jade Emperor in a daze, I shouted: "Jade Emperor?"

"Huh? Oh!" Jade Emperor responded. "There are too many of these things. It would be troublesome for me to look through them all. Let's do this! Let the matter be left to Zhenjun Erlang. If there are any problems that he can't solve, you can ask Taibai. Most of the collections in Heaven are with him. .”

Hehe, it's best to leave it to Erlangshen. With the help of this big man, we can definitely search it fully. "In this case, I won't disturb the Jade Emperor, and I will go now."

The Jade Emperor nodded and asked me to leave first and then left Erlangshen behind. When I walked away, he started talking to Erlangshen, but they did not notice a beautiful crystal beetle lying in the middle of the flower.

"You have to be stricter, save as much as you can, and try to use things from the Four Sacred Beasts for compensation. Our finances in Heaven have been tight recently!" The Jade Emperor is indeed a stingy guy.

"This little god understands." Erlang Shen, of course, gave a formulaic answer.

The Jade Emperor suddenly thought of another thing. "By the way, I heard that the new Suzaku brought something from the settlement of the Four Divine Beasts. Did you see what it was?"

"I saw it." Erlang Shen nodded and said, "It's Caiyun Stone. The new Suzaku wants to rearrange his residence. She doesn't like the design style of the previous Suzaku."

"Oh! I understand. Go and do your work. Be careful with that boy named Ziri, his eyes don't look kind!"

"Don't worry, Jade Emperor, little god, please leave."

Erlang Shen turned around and left, and I quickly manipulated the crystal beetle to crawl back. Hehe, apart from fighting, these little bugs are most suitable for use as unmanned reconnaissance vehicles. The connection between the soldier bug and the mother bug allows me to feel any external stimulation that the soldier bug feels, and magic can't block this instinctive connection.

Erlangshen left the Royal Garden and saw me waiting for him outside, so he immediately came over. "Let's go, I'll take you to Taibai to count the compensation items together. He has a lot of treasures there."

"Okay, please lead the way."

Erlang Shen turned around to lead the way, and while he was not paying attention, the crystal beetle released just now crawled along my legs and onto my body. While keeping up with Erlangshen's pace, I stuffed the little guy back into my wrist armor. Because there is not enough space, I usually only carry 10 small bugs with me for emergency use. If you want to summon a large number of people, you need to open the space door. Although it is troublesome, there is no good way!

After following Erlang Shen for a long time in the heaven, we finally arrived at Dou Shu Palace, where Taibai lived.

As soon as we pushed the door open and walked in, we saw Taibai with white hair and white beard standing in front of the Bagua stove directing the Taoist boy to light the fire. Erlang Shen bowed first: "Taibai Immortal Lord."

Taibai was a little surprised when he turned around and saw us. "How come Mr. Erlang has time to come to my place?"

Erlang Shen immediately said: "This is Ziri who was persecuted by Suzaku some time ago. The Jade Emperor asked me to bring him here to discuss compensation with you."

"Since it is the Jade Emperor's will, then come with me."

Taibaijinxing's status in heaven may not be considered one of the best, but its palace area is second only to the Jade Emperor's own main palace complex and Chang'e's Guanghan Palace. Giving him such a large area is not because he is very popular, but because his experiments often lead to accidents, so a larger area is safer. Another reason is that the treasures of heaven, except for some commonly used items, are held in the hands of the gods themselves. Most of them are centralized and kept here.

Erlangshen and I followed Taibai through a large group of buildings before entering an independent area at the back. This place is very strange. I didn't seem to notice such an area when I first walked in from the outside, but now I have entered such an area, which means that it is actually in another space and is not part of the heaven.

This special space has a door connected to the heaven. After entering, you enter a large courtyard. This courtyard is a bit ridiculously big, almost the same as the home of the Earth Mother Goddess. There are mountains, water, trees, and animals in the wide space, but something doesn't feel quite right. I can't figure out what's wrong.

There are only two artificial buildings in the entire yard. One is the courtyard wall outside, and the other is the tall tower on the island in the middle of the lake. This tower is an octagonal tower in the Chinese classical style. From the outside, it looks like it has eight floors. It is of average height and not exaggerated in size. However, it looks very beautiful with a bell hanging on the hanging corner of each floor.

Taibai Jinxing walked without saying a word, so I had no choice but to follow. When we walked to the lake, Taibaijinxing flicked the whisk in his hand, and then a bamboo bridge rose in the lake. After following him to the island, the bridge sank into the water again. Although I am very curious, I don’t want to waste time on this thing.

When we walked outside the tower gate, the two red lacquer doors opened automatically. I thought that this kind of place for storing treasures must be as tightly guarded as a bank vault. At least it must be locked with seven or eight locks and guarded by a few monsters, so that it would look decent. Unexpectedly, not only was there nothing here, but there was no door lock installed either.

There is a plaque above the door of this tower with several words written on it. "Tabao Kungan?"

As soon as Erlang Shen heard me saying this, he immediately said in embarrassment: "It's the other way around!"

"Inverted?" I suddenly realized that ancient Chinese characters were read from left to right. "Qiankun Pagoda!" What a shame! I actually pronounced my name backwards. Fortunately, Erlangshen and Taibaijinxing were both more educated and didn't laugh. Otherwise, I would have found a crack in the ground and crawled in.

After entering the tower, I finally understood why this place is called Qiankun Pagoda. I couldn't help but sigh: "The Qiankun Pagoda really has Qiankun inside!" From the outside, this tower looks no different from ordinary towers. But the inside looks particularly huge. The entire first floor of the pagoda seems to be tens of thousands of square meters, with a circle of weapon racks placed against the wall. There is a mess of everything up there.

The tower door automatically closed after we entered, and Taibai Jinxing sat down on the edge of the stone table in the middle of the tower. "You two, please take a seat."

After Erlangshen and I sat down together, Taibai began to say: "Now please tell me what items need to be compensated, and then we will discuss the specific items to be compensated."

I put the huge scroll on the table. "This is a record."

"So many?" Taibai Jinxing was startled.

I nodded: "Suzaku demolished all my cities, do you think we can do less?"

Taibai couldn't help but nod: "That's right! Then I'll see what's missing."

Taibai said he wanted to see it, of course I couldn't stop him. But I asked casually: "Can I look around?"

Taibai immediately said: "You can see, but some things are dangerous. You'd better ask Zhenjun to accompany you. At least he knows what things can't be touched."

Erlang Shen immediately agreed. "Okay, I'll remind him."

When I started visiting I realized that Taibai's words were pure nonsense. Everything here is wrapped by an invisible force, and nothing can be picked up. After I read it for a while, Taibai had finished reading my scroll, and we returned to the table and started negotiating.

Taibai Jinxing first said: "I just read the contents of this scroll, and it seems that the most popular ones in the catalog are books. The books mentioned above are basically Western things. Of course they are not available in Heaven. Do you think they can be replaced? Into something else?"

My purpose is of course to change things. Those books are all backed up, so it’s pointless for me to take two sets. The key issue is to replace them with good ones. "Actually, I also know that you don't have these books, but knowledge is knowledge, and it would be a bit degrading to exchange it for other things."

Taibai Jinxing nodded. "That makes sense, so what do you want to change?"

"I still want books. For example, books on Taoism and Immortality. I believe there should be many such books in Heaven, right?"

Taibai Jinxing thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to give you some books on Taoism and Immortality. However, some of the things that are secretly transmitted are inconvenient. Do you think there are not too many restrictions on the content?"

"Then you find me the same number of books as I lost, and I'll see which ones I can accept and which ones I can't accept. You replace the ones I can't accept until the number I can accept reaches my Loss amount. Do you think this is okay?”

"This is a good idea. But the number of books you lost is as high as millions. Can you get it by yourself?"

I summoned the space door and put it aside. "I'm not alone. And I don't have to move far, I just put it in." Although the number of my sub-dragon cavalry dropped because the level was too low. But that doesn't stop me from moving things.

"In that case, let me help you find it." Taibai Jinxing quickly began to carry various classics next to me. The books in this tower don't need anyone to carry them at all. They will fly down from upstairs and pile up next to me. Because these items are all unique copies, it is impossible for me to take them away directly. As long as I choose a book, Taibaijinxing will summon a 'hair' pen, and then the 'hair' pen will copy the book I selected on a blank book, and the speed is very fast.

Of course I can't read them all in detail, and I can't understand them either. When I choose a book, I only look at the name. If I don’t understand the name, I read the introduction. Considering that one person's strength is limited, I simply summoned all the humanoid magic pets to help me turn over, and the most important one, the little dragon girl, couldn't be spared. Xiao Longnu is an expert in fairy arts, and these books look simple to her. Those humanoid pets were originally unable to understand Chinese magic, but because they received rapid education in reality and now have basic common sense, it is not a problem to read the title of the book. Of course, the 21 Ring Knights cannot be spared either.

It's like a million books. But in fact many books are divided into many volumes. This kind of book can be read as soon as you read the first one, so we can flip through it very quickly. I worked on it until night and finally finished the books. It was already past ten o'clock, but there seemed to be no difference between night and day in heaven.

After finishing the book, there will be much less stuff left. After counting the special buildings and special items, the repayment list is very clear. The first thing to be compensated is our super weapon. We won the last war between the Temple of Darkness and the Temple of Light. The dragons got double breeding rights, and our guild got a super weapon. The super weapon is installed under Essinger because it is too large. It was not dismantled when the city was evacuated. Now, this is one of the few items I most hope Heaven will compensate for.

Taibaijinxing looked at me in confusion and asked: "This thing is too complicated, I don't understand its characteristics. Can you tell me its uses and effects? I will try to find you something similar to compensate you. .”

"The purpose is to attack. This weapon can produce light waves and explosions when fired, and it is very powerful. We once used it to defeat millions of enemies at once."

"Isn't that about the same power as the Haotian Array?"

"I don't know what you are talking about, but my super weapon is a system reward. Now that your people have destroyed it, you must give me a satisfactory answer."

Taibai thought for a long time and still had no idea, but Erlang Shen whispered something into his ear. Taibai immediately said with a smile on his face: "Oh, could you have told me earlier! It cost me so much effort." As he said that, he waved behind him, and four books flew into his hand. "This is the property list of the four divine beasts. There should be similar things." He flipped through it for a while and suddenly said: "Yes."

"What is it?" I was very excited and didn't know what it was.

Taibai Jinxing said: "Qinglong has an ancient artifact called the Seven Spiritual Dust Bell. This bell is very large. As long as it is ringed, it can emit a purifying sound. In the covered area, except for the things that the bell ringer wants to protect, All life and matter will be reduced to dust. Unless it is an item such as a divine weapon, nothing can withstand this destructive power. Data records say that this clock is very dangerous and will hurt innocent people every time it is used, so it is generally not allowed to be used. . And this clock is powered by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After each use, it needs to re-gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Therefore, after using it once, you must wait three days before using it again. If you agree, we can use this thing to supplement you. Land loss.”

"How far can the sound of this clock travel?"

"About 160 miles, which is what you call 80 kilometers."

Seven Spiritual Dust Bells? Judging from Taibai's introduction, this thing is much more powerful than our super weapons, both in terms of damage radius and power. However, this interval is slightly longer. But this thing attacks from all directions, up, down, left and right. The effect of three-dimensional coverage should be better than firing weapons in one direction. The overall value should be beyond our super weapons, which is not a loss in business.

"I agree."

"Okay." Taibai recorded it in the notebook next to him. "This is Qinglong's item. I can't give it to you now. Let's write it down first and wait for the last time to get it."

I nodded and asked worriedly: "Will Qinglong refuse to give it?"

Erlangshen said with a smile: "This time it was originally the fault of their four divine beasts. Suzaku has already been punished. Let the three of them take something to blame. It's too late for them to be happy."

I nodded: "That's right. Then take a look at how you want to compensate me for this thing?"

Taibai Jinxing looked at what I pointed out to him. "Excuse me, what is this so-and-so tower for?"

I explained: "This is called the Tower of Babel. It can peek from the sky to any corner of the world, and you can see anything as long as it is not blocked."

"Oh! It turns out to be the Haotian Mirror!" Taibai Jinxing said nonchalantly.

"Not only can it be seen, but it can also be attacked. This thing can attack wherever it sees it. The power of each attack is about the same as that of a dragon flame. If you concentrate the energy once, you can blow up half a city."

"That's it!" Taibaijinxing thought about it for a long time and said, "If it also has attack capabilities, it would be a bit tricky. Let me take a look at my records again!" This time it seemed to take a particularly long time, but Taibaijinxing still found one. Something he thought was more in line with the requirements. "There is a treasure in Suzaku's collection called the Divine Arrow. I will show it to you right now."

"Ah? Why are Suzaku's things here with you?"

Taibai was tearing something with yellow paper and said: "After Suzaku was punished, all her collections were confiscated. So they are all here."

"Then the new Suzaku doesn't have anything?"

"Suzaku is a position. But the collection is collected by each Suzaku himself. If the previous Suzaku has any last words before reincarnation, he will follow the last words. If there is no last word, it will be left to the next Suzaku. But this one is punished, so all of them are confiscated ” After Taibai Jinxing finished explaining, he just finished tearing up the things in his hands. He threw a dozen paper figures and landed on the ground. After these paper figures landed, they immediately ran upstairs to move things.

After a while, the thing called the Divine Arrow was moved over. Because it was said that this thing was very large, we had to go outside the tower to display it. The paper people put a small box on the ground, and then Taibaijinxing took out the small thing inside and placed it on the ground. There was a seal on the thing. As soon as Taibaijinxing tore off the seal, it started to grow bigger. The shape of the divine arrow is very simple. It is just a square pillar and has nothing to do with the arrow. This pillar-like thing is almost 50 meters high. The bottom is a square with a side length of meters. I really don't know how it looks like an arrow. However, the upper and lower sides of this thing are divided into 16 squares, and each square is numbered, from row one to sixteen.

The surface of the divine arrow looks like rosewood, but it doesn't seem to be wood to the touch. This material is very hard, which is more like metal, but it feels warm to the touch, which is not consistent with the characteristics of metal. There are a lot of strange symbols on the surface of the divine arrow. These symbols are spelled out from green substances. The surface of those symbols feels different from other places, but I can't feel the seams and don't know how they are embedded. Anyway, this thing is weird.

"Is this the divine arrow?" I asked, looking at Taibaijinxing.

Taibai Jinxing said unsteadily: "Actually, I don't know what this is. The catalog says it's called a divine arrow, and its function is to hit enemies at any location. But it takes time from the time you use it until it hits the enemy. The length of this time depends on the distance. The description mentions that the power of this thing is relatively ordinary, but it can attack 16 times in quick succession, and then you need to have a chance to recover every day."

"Only 16 times. My Tower of Babel can attack 40 times in a row!" Anyway, Taibaijinxing has never seen the Tower of Babel, and he doesn't know about my 'random' report.

Taibai Jinxing immediately said: "There is not just one divine arrow. Suzaku has a total of 4 divine arrows, so it can attack 64 times in a row, and can use it 4 times the next day. Although the power is not as good as your tower, and it changes with distance. It will affect the attack time, but with more attacks and faster recovery, it should be able to compensate for your tower."

"I need to see the experiment. I can't understand what you said."

"Okay then, let's find an uninhabited area outside the heaven to experiment."

I originally planned to go out, but Taibaijinxing directly opened a portal for us, and it was much more convenient from here. The divine arrow was sealed and immediately shrunk to the size of a palm, and then brought out together.

Taibaijinxing has never seen this thing. I heard that Suzaku got it from some overseas mage, so the experiment can only be done according to the instructions. Taibai read the instructions: "First of all, we must distinguish the front and rear. There is such a mark in the front." Taibai Jinxing pointed it out to us.

We quickly found the mark on the divine arrow and figured out the front and back. After working on it for a long time, Taibaijinxing has been placed upside down. The front is the side that stands underground, and the side facing the sky is actually the tail.

"Choose the target. And hold the control crystal." Taibai read and suddenly realized something was wrong. "It's strange, why is there still a control crystal? Wait a minute, I'll go back and look for it." After a while, Taibai ran back again, and this time he got a light green crystal ball. "It turns out that this ball is a part of the divine arrow. I thought it was a separate item!"

Because I want to use it, I do the experiment. I held the crystal and thought about the target. In order to see the effect, I found a visible hillside as a target.

Taibai continued to read: "Let the front of the divine arrow face the sky, or tilt it at a certain angle, so that it reaches a horizontal position at most. Do not make the front lower than the height of the tail. It is recommended to maintain an angle of 40 to 50 degrees with the horizontal plane. Ensure that the front direction of the divine arrow is 500 There are no obstacles within a meter range, so the front of the divine arrow should be aligned in the general direction of the target. If the conditions of use do not allow it, it does not matter if it is not aligned."

We put this thing down as required and propped it up with something, keeping the angle at about 40 degrees and the direction slightly tilted toward the hillside.

Erlangshen and I were still adjusting the direction, and Taibai Jinxing said again: "If you use a non-special support frame, please try to ensure that the support is stable. The weapon will produce large vibrations when used." Upon hearing this, Erlangshen and I quickly re-reinforced it, and now It's definitely not stable if it's supported by a few boulders like this!

After we finally finished it, we looked at Taibaijinxing, and he immediately started reading the following content. "The user holds the control crystal, thinks about launching an attack, and attacks once every time he thinks about it. As long as there is still an opportunity to attack, he will continue to attack. No maintenance is required after the attack. The divine arrow will automatically restore the opportunity to attack, and the opportunity can be restored once a day."

Weird, the instructions say that no maintenance is required after the attack, which means this thing should still be here after the attack. Could it be that this thing doesn't launch itself to attack the target? I don’t understand it at all, let’s talk about it after using it! You should understand it when you see the effect.

The three of us stood behind the Shenjian side, looking at the hillside in front, and then I thought about attacking that hillside. As soon as my thoughts moved, the square numbered 01 in the upper left corner of the divine arrow suddenly popped open with a pop. This square lattice with a side length of 5 meters is divided into four triangles and opened on all sides to reveal a square hole in the middle.

I suddenly realized that it was not good, because this thing changed too much like a very terrifying weapon. Originally I wanted to remind everyone, but it was a little late. Suddenly there was a loud noise, and the tail of the divine arrow was quickly covered in thick smoke and flames. The three of us happened to be within the coverage area. Along with the loud noise and the continuous spurting of flames, a red cylinder with a hemispherical head emerged from the zero square. This guy burst out of the grid with a loud roar and billowing smoke. Although this grid is 5 meters long on a side, the walls of the grid inside seem to be very thick and take up some space. So the actual diameter of the cylinder is only about 4 meters, and its length is only about 40 meters.

The cylinder had a red flame at its tail, and a long black smoke trailed behind it as it flew towards the target I set. That thing was very fast. It hit the target point I designed very accurately. With a bang, the cylinder exploded, and a big fireball shot up at the target. It seemed to be pretty powerful, but the three of us didn't. Saw this scene.

"Cough cough cough cough!..." Amidst a burst of chaotic coughs, the three of us walked out of the smoke, covered in black bodies.
