Chapter 43 Chapter 42 Actually There Is No Time

"Just a little bit..." Zhuang Xuteng came to Heisenberg with a wronged expression on his face. He didn't know where to put his hands and tugged at the hem of his pants twice.

"No one can succeed in one go. This is normal. And you also said it was just a little bit off!" Heisenberg looked at the remains of the pistol in front of him and was actually a little shocked. The steel bar has completed the shape of a double-ring knuckles, and most of the technical runes that need to be engraved are also in good shape. At first glance, it looks very complete. Although its core was cut off and the two rings were twisted 90 degrees in the end, it is definitely unusable, but it is indeed as Xiaofen said: just a little bit off.

This kid is good! Heisenberg touched his chin and thought to himself: If this kid can succeed in the second one, then his talent is still better than mine, and he will be a competitor in the future. Well, teach him now, and tell the Wild Monkey Gang later that there is a wild chef named Pinkman on the market who is breaking the rules.

Why do only gangs have chefs who make guns? Because only gangs, and they must be gangs with corporate backgrounds, can keep the chefs. The other chefs are essentially just a dish.

"Don't be impatient to make the gun. You need to be patient. If you find 5 more green shadow followers, take a break first and relax your mind. The state is related to the success rate. Remember this."

This sounds good, but if you really want a good "apprentice", why don't you bring out a few high-level domesticated shadow followers?

Heisenberg waved his hand to send Zhuang Xuteng away and continued to work on his own. He had to complete the mission of the Wild Monkey Gang, continue to let the Wild Monkey Gang protect him, and make money from it. No one can delay him from making money, not Xiaofen, not Lucy.

Seeing that his performance had worked, Zhuang Xuteng "obediently" returned to his workstation. With the first preparation, he was full of confidence and waited patiently for more than four hours. Only then did he start the second attempt while Heisenberg went to the toilet.

The pistol was taking shape, and the progress was smoother than before, and he didn't need to fail deliberately this time. But at the last step, even though he had good control, the pistol still twisted, and the key technical rune broke, and all the previous efforts were wasted.

"How could this happen?" Zhuang Xuteng was puzzled. "I can do it! The steps are correct, the control is correct, and the mental state and performance of the whole person are also fine. Why did I fail?"

Not only did he fail this time, he couldn't figure out why. There was no way. In order not to expose the secret of his ability to quickly search for the shadow slave, he could only wait until tomorrow to ask Heisenberg again. It would definitely not work today.

There was still one chance, and he had to succeed, otherwise he would not have the confidence to steal Heisenberg's steel bars. Zhuang Xuteng's mind was full of gun-making. He couldn't sleep even when lying behind the cupboard, and he had been thinking about the technical rune array of the pistol. He wanted to complete it by his own strength, so that he could make progress, instead of relying on the help of the lich master. He believed that with the knowledge of the lich master, this kind of spell practice problem would definitely be solved immediately. But if he couldn't think independently, asking the lich master would be like copying Heisenberg, and it would not be considered progress. And there was only one step left to make a gun, and he believed that he could definitely cross it with his own strength!

As he thought about it, he would definitely think of the rune array of the Lich Master. This was the knowledge he had already learned, and finding inspiration from it was still his own ability, not copying the answer.

Lying on the ground, with his hands stretched to the sky, he still felt that the blue sky was within reach, despite the two-story basement and seven-story building. With his ring finger and little finger folded together and the remaining fingers straightened, Zhuang Xuteng made a shooting gesture. At the same time, he thought about the spell of the new version of the bone spear and imagined that he had a gun in his hand...

The stinging feeling came from the wrist, as if it was bitten by sharp teeth; the whole arm was also a little weak, and the muscles trembled slightly. Just when Zhuang Xuteng didn't understand, a milky white ball of light flew out from his fingertips and hit the ceiling with a bang.

He was startled. This was clearly the feeling of firing a gun, but the power was too small. The ceiling was just shaken, not to mention being penetrated, there was not even a trace left. If he hadn't cleaned this place, he would definitely be able to knock down some dust. But this is not a question of power, but how can he shoot?

There is no pistol ring!

In this case, Zhuang Xuteng must ask the Lich Master. He listened carefully first to make sure Heisenberg was not awakened, and then went into meditation.

"You wasted the energy from the shadow just for this question?" The Lich Master looked angry and helpless. He said: "The answer is simple: this spell should be cast directly and used on firearms, just to enhance the power and improve functionality. Since it is a spell, whether it is a necromancy spell or a technical rune in your world, the spell itself must be established first, and then it is necessary to use external objects to enhance it."

Yes, it seems to be the truth.

"The spell is the main body, and your gun is just a carrier. The reason you failed is..."

"Don't say it!" Zhuang Xuteng interrupted him and said first: "I want to figure it out myself! I have a brain to use. It can not only copy old things, but also solve new problems!"

"Since you insist so much, then well, I won't tell you unless you ask me." The lich snorted and laughed twice, and said: "Come in, don't waste your energy, how about talking about other things?"

"What do you want to say?"

"It must be Heisenberg! When are you going to kill him, and how are you going to get out?"

"I haven't decided to kill him yet, but I have some ideas about how to get out, which may depend on Hercules and the Wild Monkey Gang."

"Do you know what Hercules is, where he is, and what he does?"

"Hercules is a living shadow slave. It is most likely on the second floor underground. Its function is unknown. I only know that Heisenberg used the strong men and women of the Wild Monkey Gang to kill the shadow slave's resentment and make it more controllable. ”

From the conversation between Cassandra and Heisenberg, we can know that only the two of them knew about the Hercules Project. The Wild Monkey Gang either didn't know about it at all, or they only knew the surface disguised information and didn't know what they really wanted. In this way, since the seven floors on the ground are the training base of the Wild Monkey Gang, and gang members come and go, the risk of exposure is too great, and it is definitely not suitable for placing a living shadow slave.

The second underground floor is locked by a door from the stairwell inwards. It looks like a place to hide things, and it also meets the technical needs of "using the Wild Monkey Gang to filter shadows". Zhuang Xuteng also noticed that Heisenberg rarely left his workbench except when sleeping and eating. In more than a week, he only left the third underground floor three times, and came back within half an hour each time.

Considering that he couldn't just go for a walk and still have time to do something, the place he wanted to go must be somewhere within five minutes. Assuming he was dealing with Hercules, both entering and exiting a secret location would take time. After adding, subtracting, and subtracting, the second underground floor is almost the only possible location.

"Your speculation is very reasonable." Master Lich said: "How to do it specifically?"

"If the situation is confused, for example, if the Monkey Gang discovers Hercules, then they will definitely ask Heisenberg to find out. If..."

Master Lich shook his head and said: "This approach is a bit naive. The Wild Monkey Gang will only see Hercules as an opportunity, whether it is to make money or to get closer to the company. They will continue to protect the sea. Heisenberg, because Heisenberg is where the money comes from. Those guys treat living shadow slaves the same way you do, only they're stronger."

"Are you kidding me that I'm also an orangutan?"

"You're not like a monkey, a monkey is like you, so that's all right?" Master Lich said, "You've made the plan too complicated. Just pick up a pistol, destroy Heisenberg directly, and then walk out of the gate. "

"Ah? Are you so reckless?"

"Yes, the simple way is often the best way."

"I haven't thought about killing him yet." Zhuang Xuteng said firmly.

"If you haven't prepared for this yet, then you must have overlooked one point: if you can make a pistol and master the weapon, will you still have a chance to do it?"

Zhuang Xuteng was shocked and had to admit that what Master Lich said made sense. Heisenberg attached great importance to safety and often held a shock pen in his hand to deal with Zhuang Xuteng at any time. Well, if he had a pistol, Heisenberg would definitely tighten the supervision, or use this as a reason to directly announce that the teaching was completed and let Zhuang Xuteng leave.

Still thinking about trying it out again? Thought there was still about a week left? There is literally no time left! Zhuang Xuteng immediately realized that no matter whether he succeeded or failed in these three opportunities to build a gun, Heisenberg would find reasons to send Zhuang Xuteng away.

Heisenberg only thought about taking advantage of himself, and he only thought about the immediate advantages, and did not have a long-term vision. He will not complete the things he promised honestly, so his promises cannot be trusted. He was obviously in the Wild Monkey Gang and accepted the protection of the Wild Monkey Gang, but he actually made a private deal with Cassandra of the company without telling the Wild Monkey Gang, and used the resources of the Wild Monkey Gang to make profits for himself. This...

Why would anyone want to spare him?

Zhuang Xuteng pays attention to commitment. He attaches great importance to every job and wants to have a good and long-term development. The task entrusted this time has two parts: to learn the knowledge of shadow slaves and to ensure that Heisenberg will not tell anything about Lucy. If she was sent back within two days, both parts of the mission would have failed: nothing would have been learned, and nothing would have made Lucy safer. Zhuang Xuteng was determined not to have such a result!

How to solve this situation? Is there no other way besides stealing a gun and killing Heisenberg directly? Especially taking into account Heisenberg's caution, he probably knew that there was something in Zhuang Xuteng's stomach through the shadow detection spell, and even knew about the existence of the shock bomb. This also needs to be taken into account.

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and fell into deep thought.
