Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Linglong Seven-Shape Box

"So it is!" Phoenix’s voice sounded somewhat disappointed, "I just wanted more ways to protect myself, so I could do more for Mr. Shen and you."

"I am already grateful that you can help us, don’t think too much," Yang Yu earnestly looked at Phoenix, "Remember, at any time, your own life is the most important. Only ensure your own safety first, then think about other things. Otherwise, if you lose your life, how can you still help us?"

Phoenix asked quietly, "Yang Yu, why did you risk your life to save me last time?"

"That was because I misjudged the situation, I thought Alfred couldn’t kill me," Yang Yu found an excuse, "So, you don’t need to dwell on it."

"Mr. Shen saved me from a fire, you restored my appearance, and saved me again, the two of you have given me three lives," Phoenix looked straight into Yang Yu’s eyes, "My life belongs to you both."

"Alright then," Yang Yu couldn’t change Phoenix’s mind and could do nothing but let it be, "While we can’t use the Bone Dissolving Powder, if you want some means to protect yourself, I do have some good things in mind."

Yang Yu casually picked up a pen again and wrote a list, sending it to Wen Yishan: "Yishan, replenish some materials."

"Yes, Master," Wen Yishan replied instantly, to Yang Yu’s satisfaction: "Phoenix, let’s go downstairs. Once Yishan comes back, I’ll give you a few good things."

Seeing Yang Yu taking out a pile of woodworking tools, Xia Yu was utterly befuddled, "Yang Yu, what are you planning to do?"

"Make a Linglong Seven-Shape Box," Yang Yu said, "Those few items must be hidden well inside the box, I can’t trust a regular safe."

"You can actually make a Linglong Seven-Shape Box?" Xia Yu was shocked by Yang Yu once again, "I’ve read about it in ancient texts, it’s said to be far more advanced than modern safes. Safes can only lock things up, but that box has hidden mechanisms inside, and opening it recklessly can be lethal."

"Yes, you really do know a lot," Yang Yu smiled, "Truly worthy of being a knowledgeable and resourceful Female Zhuge."

"Hmph," Xia Yu found it unpleasant to listen to, but couldn’t express her irritation and could only be silently disgruntled.

It didn’t take long for Wen Yishan to arrive with several movers, carrying a huge pile of materials that filled the living room.

"Master, what are you preparing to do?" Wen Yishan asked, "Do you need my help?"

"Of course," Yang Yu said, "Plus, this is a great opportunity for you to learn Lu Ban’s Magic."

Excited about learning new Mechanical Technique, Wen Yishan was overjoyed, "Thank you, Master; shall we start now?"

"Yes," Yang Yu nodded, "Process the materials according to these blueprints, and once everything is ready, I will personally demonstrate how to craft the mechanisms."

Wen Yishan took the blueprints and began to work.

Xia Yu glanced over and casually said, "One person processing the materials is too slow, I can help too. I may not know Mechanical Technique, but I’m quite good at woodworking."

"Fine," Yang Yu handed a few other blueprints to Xia Yu, "You handle these!"

The two apprentices began working on the materials, and Yang Yu didn’t let Phoenix be idle either, "You are skilled with Flying Knives, but the speed and power at which you throw them aren’t comparable to a mechanism. I’ll make you two sets of sleeve arrows; I’ll handle the arrowheads, you can whittle the wooden arrows."

Four people started working at the same time, and the house immediately filled with the sound of hammering and wood shaving, creating a lively atmosphere.

Yang Yu finished first, completing fifty arrowheads in less than half an hour.

Phoenix finished carving the wooden arrow, and Yang Yu began installing the arrowhead, "Once the Arrow Box is ready, I’ll apply some Bone Dissolving Powder to the arrowhead. No matter which part of the opponent it hits, as long as it touches the skin, it will peel it off without killing them!"

Yang Yu quickly crafted the mechanical Arrow Box and placed the short arrows smeared with Bone Dissolving Powder inside.

After the Arrow Box was completed, Yang Yu fixed it onto Phoenix’s arm, "This is the safety catch. Before it’s released, the Arrow Box will not fire arrows. Once released, all you have to do is aim at the target, clench your fist, and bend your wrist down like this... and the arrow will shoot out."

Yang Yu demonstrated, and Phoenix nodded, "Let me try."

Phoenix aimed her fist at a fortune tree in the living room, bent her wrist downwards, and with a "whoosh" sound, before she could even blink, an arrow had pierced through the fortune tree!

The next moment, that fortune tree began emitting hissing black smoke, and in a few seconds, a penetrating hole had formed due to corrosion!

Phoenix’s facial expression behind the mask was invisible, but her shocked eyes said it all, "This thing is scarier than a gun!"

"Indeed," Yang Yu replied, "most people won’t die if a bullet doesn’t hit a vital spot. But if hit by this arrow, they’d be lucky to survive at half their strength."

Yang Yu handed a bag to Phoenix, "This is the antidote for the Bone Dissolving Powder. If you’re hit by it, you have three seconds to apply the ointment inside to the wound, and then it will be like any normal injury."

Phoenix took the bag, not sure what to say.

She had intended to help Yang Yu, but now it seemed Yang Yu was the one helping her. The debt she owed this man was growing!

"Phoenix, you’ve had a tough day, go back and rest at Rena’s place," Yang Yu said, "Besides, I won’t be at ease unless you’re keeping an eye on her."

"Alright," Phoenix nodded and turned to leave.

"Master, I’ve finished my preparations."

"Yang Yu, I’m all set here too," Wen Yishan and Xia Yu announced that they had prepared their materials, and only then did Yang Yu take out the last blueprint, "Yishan, the materials you made will be used in these parts. Xia Yu, your materials will be used in these parts. Now, I’m going to assemble these materials together. Yishan, watch carefully. You can’t make a single mistake in the steps, or all our efforts will be for naught, and there’s even a chance of self-injury."

"Okay, Master," Wen Yishan nodded attentively, staring with wide eyes.

Xia Yu’s eyes were also wide with anticipation, while Yang Yu took a glance at her, which she pretended not to notice.

Even if Yang Yu only glanced at her, or tried to drive her away, she would not leave.

How could she miss such a rare opportunity to watch the construction of the Linglong Seven-Shape Box?

"First step, assemble the parts for the front, back, left, right, bottom, and top sides. Gunpowder, Poison, and Poison Arrows should be installed in their respective paired sides."

"Second step, and the most crucial part, assemble the central control mechanism of the Seven-piece Box."

"Third step, attach each side to the central control mechanism one by one. Remember, the sequence for front, back, left, and right doesn’t matter, but you must always do the bottom before the top for the final two steps."

As Yang Yu worked, he explained, "See that Balance Pearl inside the central control mechanism? If the balance of that pearl is disturbed, the box will activate the gunpowder for a self-destruct, turning it into a mini bomb."
