Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

Chapter 170 Black Powder Development

Looking back along the blue sky, several distinctive light yellow veins came into view, and upon closer inspection, one could even see specks of light green within them.

"Oh? This stuff is sulfur ore?"

Shibarak looked him up and down, a look of interest on his face.

However, as soon as he got closer, Shibarak frowned.

"Why does it smell like garlic? No, wait! It smells like rotten eggs? And it smells so pungent?"

Shibarak pinched his nose with a look of disgust, turned his head and saw that Lan Tian was already wearing a gas mask.

"What the heck? What's that thing on your face, friend? It looks really creepy."

As he spoke, Shibarak reached out and tried to pull the gas mask off Lan Tian's face.

Seeing this, Lan Tian quickly dodged backward, conjured a gas mask on the spot, and threw it to Shibarak. Then, he went to the sulfur mine, examined it carefully, and said in a serious tone:

"The sulfur in the sulfur mine will evaporate, and the pungent smell you just smelled is from that evaporating sulfur. If you don't want to smell that, you can put on a gas mask... uh..."

As they were talking, Lan Tian turned his head and was met with a sight that left him both amused and exasperated: Shibarak had clumsily put his gas mask on backwards.

"Oh my god, how could I forget about that?"

Lan Tian sighed helplessly and then stepped forward speechlessly to help Shibarak put on his gas mask.

After putting on the gas mask, Shibarak looked around in surprise, then sniffed and found that he could not smell any foul odor.

"This is amazing! You can't smell any stench at all! What's this thing called?"

Shibarak touched and examined the gas mask on his face, looking quite fond of it.

"This thing is called a gas mask. When you wear it, it can block all harmful gases and protect the wearer's respiratory tract from damage."

As he spoke, Lan Tian broke off a piece of sulfur ore with his bare hands, weighed it in his hand, and continued to say to Shibarak:

"Hibarak, I suggest that when you want to arrange for your people to mine sulfur, you should give each of them a gas mask. Unlike us demons, they are not immune to these harmful gases. Otherwise, if they stay here for decades, they will definitely be in danger of losing their lives."

Upon hearing that there might be a life-threatening situation, Shibarak's expression turned serious, and he immediately took it seriously, nodding and saying:

"I will protect my people."

Blue Sky patted Shibarak on the shoulder with satisfaction, then said seriously:

"In addition to gas masks, it is best to wear long pants and long sleeves and gloves when mining sulfur, otherwise long-term exposure to volatilized sulfur can cause a series of skin diseases."

After listening, Shibarak stroked his chin thoughtfully, then nodded.

Knowing that Shibarak had taken his advice to heart, Blue Sky began mining sulfur.

Seeing this, Shibarak also came over to help.

But before Hibarak could attach flames to his palm, Blue Sky swiftly reached out and grabbed Hibarak's hand, interrupting his spellcasting.

"Friend, this is..."

Hibarak was taken aback by Lan Tian's sudden action, but out of trust in Lan Tian, ​​he had no complaints and looked at Lan Tian with a puzzled expression.

"Sulfur will burn if you want to blow this place up."

Upon hearing this, Hibarak was slightly taken aback, and then awkwardly abandoned his idea of ​​using the Flame Fist to mine sulfur ore in a simple and crude way.

……

Several hours later, after mining enough sulfur ore, the two returned to the City of Ten Thousand Fires under the cover of night.

Within a few days, Blue Sky explained his ideas to Shibarak and his Nata people in detail and signed a contract regarding the mining rights of sulfur mines.

In the contract, after some discussion between the projections from Blue Sky and Morax, it was finally decided that during the sulfur mine mining period, Gui Xiuli would provide the protective equipment needed for mining free of charge, pay the Nata people who participated in the sulfur mine mining with 100 million Mora per month, and take 50% of the final sulfur ore.

But Shibarak was not satisfied with this and started arguing back and forth with Blue Sky and Morax.

Finally, as the third dawn broke, under the watchful eyes of the Nata citizens who were yawning from watching the spectacle, Shibarak, amidst the helpless gazes of Lantian and Morax, changed the contract's terms from "final 50% sulfur ore" to "final 60% sulfur ore," adopting a "I won't sign unless you agree" attitude.

Left with no other choice, Blue Sky and Morax had to nod in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Shibarak, whose previously stern expression was almost cracking, relaxed and happily signed the contract.

Seeing that Shibarak had signed the contract, the projections of Blue Sky and Morax exchanged a glance, and simultaneously uttered their signature line in slightly helpless voices:

"The contract has been made; those who break their word shall be punished by being devoured by the rocks!"

……

After discussing some details with Shibarak, Lan Tian bid farewell to him.

After returning to Guixiuli with great speed, Lantian went to the logistics department of the Shura Palace and began to develop and mix a formula according to the ratio of 75% saltpeter, 10% sulfur, and 15% charcoal.

Even Fukaros, who was carefree eating Prostius in the Asura Palace, didn't notice when he came over.

And after a tense period of coordination...

boom!

Lan Tian was caught off guard and got his face blasted black by something from the grinding disc.

"Cough cough..."

Lan Tian paused for a moment, then coughed up a few puffs of black smoke, revealing a set of white teeth that stood out starkly against his charcoal-black face.

"Pfft, hahaha!"

Startled, Fukaros coughed up a few mouthfuls of black smoke at Lantian, ignoring the white creature, Proustis, who had fallen to the ground and was attracted by the noise. She then pointed at Lantian and burst into laughter.

Hearing Fucaros's clear laughter, Lantian reached out and flicked Fucaros's forehead in an annoyed tone.

"Fou, go play somewhere else, why are you meddling in this?"

"Slightly, slightly, slightly~"

Fukalos wasn't annoyed by the light flick on her forehead. Instead, she playfully stuck out her tongue at the blue sky, then turned and skipped away with Little White.

"Remember to wash your face, brother!"

As she left, Fukalos couldn't resist making a joke about the blue sky.

"This girl..."

Lan Tian watched with doting eyes as Fukalos skipped away, then wiped the soot off his face and buried himself back in his research.

After half a month, and after being bombed several more times, Blue Sky finally achieved the perfect ratio.

"You bastard, you've really given me a hard time!"

After confirming that the dish in front of him contained what he wanted, Lan Tian, ​​with his face covered in soot, suddenly went limp and slammed his head on the workbench, looking utterly exhausted.

Even the anvil next to him jumped up from Lantian's movements.

"Brother, turn your head! Look at me!"

Fukalos, standing to the side, poked Lantian's shoulder playfully.

Upon hearing this, Lan Tian subconsciously turned his head to look to the side, and then a cool sensation came from his face.

"Didn't I tell you not to wipe my face?"

Lan Tian closed his eyes and enjoyed Fukalos's face-wiping service while raising his hand to rub Fukalos's head.

"Hehe, Brother Lantian is studying this so that he can fight better. Shouldn't I do my part behind the scenes?"

As she spoke, Fukaros put her hands on her hips with a smug look on her face, and the ahoge on her head swayed proudly.

Hearing that familiar, playful tone, Lan Tian reached out and pinched Fukaros's pert little nose, pretending to be accusing her:

"Tell me, is it what Gui Zhong told you to say?"

"Hehe, my brother found out..."

Upon hearing this, Fukalos scratched his head sheepishly, looking somewhat naive.
