1774 Weapon of Alchemy

After telling Han Rui about Jiang Rongguang, Xia Xibei and Qiao Yanjue gave him a bunch of things.

“Here, this is a gun I made for you…”

“A gun?!”

Han Rui held the wooden object in his hand, looking confused and bewildered.

“Are you sure this is a gun?! This? A gun?”

It did look somewhat like a gun, with the grip and all, but… Where was the muzzle?!

This was some shabby craftsmanship!

Han Rui held the thing with a “you must be kidding me” look on his face.

“Of course it is,” Qiao Yanjue nodded with a serious look and then took the gun. “Come, let me show you how it works. You press here…”

Then, with a “pow”, a beam of light was ejected.

Han Rui looked over and was scared out of his wits!

There were three sandbags in the room, lined up in a row. Now, all three of them were smashed into pieces, with sand spilling out!

What the hell?! Was this a gun or a laser gun?!

Han Rui felt he really hadn’t really seen much of this world, otherwise, how could he have witnessed something so magical?

This was just too unscientific!

Qiao Yanjue handed him the thing.

“This looks pretty ordinary, but it can pass security checks and won’t arouse suspicion. Plus, even if you lose it, no one will suspect that it’s a gun.”

Han Rui was at a loss of words.

His face was twitching in disbelief.

Indeed, no one would suspect this was a gun, because it didn’t look like one at all!

If it weren’t for Qiao Yanjue’s demonstration, he would never have expected it to have such shocking power!

It looked more like a children’s toy!

He took the tiny item and turned it over, back and forth, and still couldn’t seem to wrap his head around how it worked.

When had technology advanced to this point?

“You know that the Qis are a family of ancient martial arts, right?” Xia Xibei interjected.

“I do know that,” Han Rui nodded, “But… What does that have to do with this?”

“It has everything to do with it,” Xia Xibei smiled. “This is a weapon of alchemy.”

“Weapon of alchemy?!” Han Rui’s eyes widened. “Are you kidding me?!”

He had heard of alchemy and such before, but… Wasn’t it a lost craft since a long time ago?

Although families of ancient martial arts still existed till this day, things like alchemy should have long been extinct with technology of the modern days!

The reason why ancient martial families were different from the others was not only because of their years of experience, but also because of the special set of skills that they learned.

With the development of technology, however, things like alchemy should have been replaced by modern machinery!

Han Rui felt like he was running out of brains, as he looked at the weapon of alchemy that appeared out of nowhere.

So this was how magical weapons of alchemy were?

Even though Han Rui had traveled to a lot of places and seen a great deal of awe-inspiring things in other nations, he still found this hard to accept.

“Anyway, don’t bother yourself with it,” Qiao Yanjue slapped him on the back. “All you have to know is you can use this. You never worry about how a gun actually works either, even if you’re using one, do you?”

Han Rui was speechless.

That made a lot of sense.

As long as it worked, who would need to know the ins and outs of it?

Same with a refrigerator- who in the world would actually take time to learn about how it worked?

Han Rui nodded, “Alright then, I’m clueless anyway. But this thing shouldn’t be dangerous… Right?”

“It’s not,” Qiao Yanjue shook his head. “It won’t fire by accident. If you were to use it, you have to press this at the same time.”

He taught Han Rui the ways around it.

After some time, Han Rui nodded with delight, “It’s even better than a gun!”
