Master of Science and Technology - Chapter 28
Translator: Darling | Editor: Nebosuke
This world was so dangerous, seniority was only useful in the Yuqing sect. When they got out, whoever supervised them was the senior. Ye Zan decided to prepare something for the competition, whether it was for his own safety or to get more benefits.
10 days later, Ye Zan met the nine selected disciples with Elder Mo. There were seven men and two women out of these nine disciples, five of them were inner disciples who perfected the lianqi, and four of them were outstanding outer disciples.
“Greetings Martial Uncle!” They saluted Ye Zan. Ye Zan’s false identity was already known throughout all of Yuqing. Although they didn’t know the reason behind it, they dare not be rude to him.
Ye Zan looked at the nine people in front of him and obtained the data in the game at the same time. He then nodded after comparing it. It seemed like Yuqing sect couldn’t play any tricks based on the data. They were all selected according to his requirements from before.
“No need for formalities, I have prepared something for you over there. It’s my gift for our first meeting. Go over there and get one.” After Ye Zan asked everyone to get up and pointed on the ground next to them, they saw a few very delicate boxes that were neatly placed there.
“Thank you, Martial Uncle!” The nine thanked him in unison. They went over, took a box, and returned to their places. It was a large box that was more than one meter long, more than half a meter wide, and more than twenty centimeters thick. It was heavy too.
Ye Zan waved his hand and said, “Open it and see.”
Nine disciples opened the box like Ye Zan told them to do. They exclaimed when they saw what was inside the box, “T-this is!”
There was a longsword and a set of strange armor inside the box. They were not familiar with this equipment. After being selected, the equipment was given to them in the Xushen realm. The armor was called jade armor, and the sword was called a thunder light sword. They were used in the Xushen realm for several days. The disciples were quite familiar with the Yuqing armor and the thunder light sword, but they didn’t expect to see the real thing.
In fact, the jade armor was just a nano-combat suit, but after remodeling, it looked similar to the armor of this world. As for the function, it canceled the interaction with the one who wore it. In addition, the defense mode was set, and it did not require any operation by the person wearing it.
The material of the thunder light sword was the IPZ-351, a special alloy. As the most advanced alloy material in the world of science and technology, and it can be considered as a sharp tool for cutting iron. But the key is not the material as the real mystery lies in the sword which can release high-voltage current in an instant. The voltage is limited, yet it will not kill people.
Since he must keep it a secret, Ye Zan was not soft-hearted. If he really electrocuted a person, it would definitely attract the attention of others. So this trick was so useful besides just the electric current. Imagine two people fighting, locked in battle. As a result, when there is discharge on one side and a tingling hand on the other side, wouldn’t it be an opportunity?
In order to use it, Ye Zan sent virtual equipment to the nine disciples in the game in advance, so that they could familiarize themselves with using it in advance.
Aside from that, Ye Zan did not forget about himself. In the different dimensional space, he already prepared various equipment for exploring the Mijing. He won’t be satisfied if he got some plants and beat some beasts in this competition.
The disciples thanked Ye Zan again and then left, excited to use the equipment.
“Junior disciple, we will surely beat our ranking from before. But we must also watch out for those who will use hidden tricks. I think I will just lead the team personally, and I will protect you.” Elder Mo was very confident now, but he was also worried about attracting the four sects.
But Ye Zan frowned and said, “What? Who are the leaders of the other sects?”
“It should be the same as before, a few young members of the Jindan realms.” Elder Mo replied.
“Then I don’t think you can go with me. Who used to lead the team before? You better hand over this to someone this time.” Ye Zan shook his head and rejected Elder Mo’s proposal. He added, “We have a literary quotation there called, “There are no 300 taels of silver buried here. If you go, they might get suspicious.”
Elder Mo was surprised, and with his slightly embarrassed face, he said, “You’re right, I didn’t think of that. So, let Jin Dasheng lead the team just like before. I will give him the nine-storied pagoda and the earth suppressing seal. It will help you if something really happens.”
The nine-story pagoda and the earth suppressing seal were two of the strongest magic weapons of the Yuqing sect now, and sect leader Wu Changsheng had always been the one to use it. The nine-story pagoda, as its name implied, was shaped like a nine-story pagoda. It was a place someone in the pagoda could put in to suppress them or protect oneself in the pagoda. The earth suppressing seal, a large brass seal, could be thrown at someone to block the way, making it impossible for people to move.
These two magic weapons were the core of the great array of the Yuqing sect in the protected mountain. With the help of the great array, the nine-storied pagoda could grow to cover the five peaks, and the earth suppressing seal could be used to suppress the five peaks.
These two magic weapons played a role in preventing accidents. They would not attract attention if they did not shine. Recalling the information of the two magic weapons, Ye Zan nodded and said confidently, “Alright, so that’s it.”
Of course, Ye Zan wasn’t only confident because of those two magic weapons. He didn’t mind growing a few mushrooms and opening black holes in this world in desperate times.
The place of the competition was far from Yuqing. Although there were flying swords in this world, they couldn’t take ten people on at the same time. So, the Yuqing sect left the mountain 10 days earlier.
Ye Zan rode on a maroon horse. He was not new to this kind of journey since they could ride any strange saddle horse in his world. He just sighed in his mind that the development of this world was really strange. A powerful man who controlled the flying sword was no different from an aircraft, while the weaker person could only use this primitive way.
A group of people rode horses through their journey. Although they were not in a hurry, they arrived at the place two days in advance in a small valley that looked ordinary.
In the valley, some houses were built as a temporary staying and resting place for people who will participate in the competition. The people who stayed behind were jointly stationed by the five sects. Each sect had a disciple who built a foundation and some ordinary heroes.
Ye Zan and others came to the entrance of the valley, and the disciples of Yuqing who had stayed behind were informed that they were waiting there with some heroes.
“Disciple Yue Lin greeting Martial uncle!” Disciple Yuqing, who had stayed behind, met Ye Zan and others. He quickly rushed to salute and greet Jin Dasheng, the leader of the group.
Jin Dasheng nodded, then he let Ye Zan come out and said to Yue Lin, “Come here, I met your Martial uncle.”
Yue Lin froze for a moment. Wasn’t elder Mo the martial uncle? But the young man in front of him did not look like Elder Mo. However, he did not doubt Jin Dasheng. Since what the elders said was right, so he went on to salute Ye Zan and said, “Greetings Martial uncle!”
