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.
