"This is a story I once read in an ancient book… It speaks of a time of Warring States conflict in ancient times. There were many states, and among them was a monarch named Duke Huan of Qi…"
Yu Chen spoke eloquently, completing the relevant story.
Hearing him speak, Ning Fengzhi also showed a thoughtful expression, and after a long while, he opened his mouth and asked him again.
"So you plan to use a similar method to deal with the Clear Sky Sect? Is this the real reason you plan to sell these Red Coat Cannons to the Clear Sky Sect later?"
Yu Chen nodded, continuing to reveal more.
"That's right. In fact, what you all see now is merely a simplified or, rather, an outdated version of the Red Coat Cannon.
The improved version is already under further research and production at our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Academy.
That version, compared to what you see now, requires less gunpowder and consumes less spirit power, yet its range is greater, and the destructive power when the cannonball lands is also greater."
Ning Fengzhi was completely astonished after hearing this.
"You want to sell the obsolete version of the Red Coat Cannon to the Clear Sky Sect, in exchange for their funds and refined iron resources for the next step of research. You're using their money to raise your own army."
"That's right. It's using their money to raise my own army!"
"This is the key to the plan I spoke of. If this continues repeatedly, within five years, given the exorbitant price of a military strategic weapon like the Red Coat Cannon, it will definitely empty out the Clear Sky Sect's entire fortune."
Yu Chen nodded, finally revealing his entire plan.
And seeing his confident demeanor,
Not only were Ning Fengzhi and the other person dumbfounded,
Everyone under the heavenly curtain was also stunned.
After a long while, they recovered, marveling at the terrifying power of the Red Coat Cannon.
They were even more astonished by the terrifying and ruthless strategy of Yu Chen.
"How ruthless, killing and condemning."
"Yu Chen's plan is far more terrifying than directly attacking the Clear Sky Sect's gates."
"Who says it isn't."
"I can't even imagine what kind of expression and reaction Tang Hao will have when the parallel World's Yu Chen appears at the Clear Sky Sect's entrance with his army five years later, if this plan is truly perfectly implemented."
At Shrek Academy.
The current Shrek Seven Devils also had similar reactions.
"Hmph, just as I thought, Yu Chen always resorts to these underhanded schemes and despicable methods."
If even they reacted this way, there's no need to mention Tang Hao.
However, even though he was terrified by it,
He was unwilling to show anything on his face.
Instead, he continued to snort coldly, saying sourly,
However, as soon as these words left his mouth, Ning Rongrong, who was nearby, immediately refuted him, saying,
"Is this called a scheme? This is clearly an open plot, isn't it?"
"How do you distinguish between schemes and open plots? Is it that any idea Yu Chen comes up with is an open plot to you?"
Tang San saw Ning Rongrong argue with his father twice and couldn't hold back his anger.
He angrily retorted.
Compared to his anger, Ning Rongrong appeared much calmer.
Now, hearing Tang San's question, she replied with a composed expression,
"Of course not. The most important distinction between a scheme and an open plot is whether it can be made public."
"Just like now. Let alone this happening in a parallel World, even if it happened in the real World. Even if you knew the entire content of the plan, it would be useless.
Would you, knowing all this beforehand, make the Clear Sky Sect not purchase the spirit tools provided by Yu Chen?
If that were truly the case, then forgive my frankness. It might not even take five years; the Clear Sky Sect might be destroyed in an instant."
"Ning Rongrong, that's enough. Why are you becoming more and more alarmist now?"
Hearing him say this, both Tang Hao and Tang San were extremely angry, but after these words were spoken this time,
Ning Rongrong, however, did not open her mouth to refute anything further.
Because above the heavenly curtain, Ning Fengzhi and the other person had already voiced similar doubts, inquiring of Yu Chen.
"Your idea is naturally good, but how can you be so sure that the Clear Sky Sect will definitely purchase these weapons? And purchase them like crazy."
"The money is in their pockets; you can't just watch and force them to buy, can you?"
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Yu Chen, however, maintained a composed demeanor, replying unhurriedly,
"Because I said before, the hidden economic pillar of the entire Clear Sky Sect comes from their Divine Craftsman techniques. Every Spirit Master in the World hopes to obtain excellent spirit tools from them to enhance their combat power.
It is precisely because of this that the Clear Sky Sect has enjoyed the support and vast financial resources from the entire World without actively managing their affairs.
However, with the emergence of military spirit tools, this phenomenon has clearly undergone significant changes.
Indeed, the spirit tools currently produced by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Academy certainly cannot compare to the pure handcrafted creations of the Clear Sky Sect's artisans in terms of meticulousness, but industrialized assembly line manufacturing brings more affordable prices. Coupled with the ingenuity of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Academy next year,
This leaves them with only two paths to choose from.
One of them is naturally, as you said, to stick to their old ways and disregard everything external, but what the ultimate outcome of that will be, I believe you already know without me having to say it.
With the continuous promotion of military spirit tools, if they completely abandon contact with these weapons and reverse research and development, then it might not even take five years; at most, two or three years, and they will be completely left behind.
By then, the Clear Sky Sect will decay and decline even more rapidly!
And if they want to avoid this decline, there is only one way…"
Yu Chen paused here, not continuing to speak further.
But among the people present, who was truly a fool?
At this moment, they clearly understood his unspoken meaning.
Ning Fengzhi then spoke, even taking the initiative to continue the conversation, adding,
"That is to actively purchase the military spirit tools you produce, is that what you mean?"
"Exactly!"
Yu Chen nodded solemnly, continuing to speak eloquently.
"Although these are obsolete products for our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Academy, for the entire Douluo Continent, they are undoubtedly the most cutting-edge technology. Purchasing military spirit tools, from the Clear Sky Sect's perspective, is by no means a losing business."
Upon hearing his words, Ning Fengzhi felt somewhat exasperated.
Even Sword Douluo, who had been silent for a while, couldn't hold back and began to softly complain,
"You're going to empty out their entire fortune, and it's still not a losing business?"
