The End of the World: Start with a Book, All Superpowers Depend on Reading

Chapter 56: Replace muskets with cannons



After lunch, we took a short break.

Wang Mingyang shot all the steel needles on the back of the mutant rat king last night, and now there is no silver bead on his body.

Looking around, most of the metal products in Su Yu's house have been used to seal the windows.

Since there is nothing useful at home, Wang Mingyang took the two women who have recovered their strength out.

However, the three did not choose to go downstairs, but went straight to the rooftop.

Standing on the rooftop, you can see the university town from afar.

"It is about three kilometers away from the nearest university, Chuncheng Normal University. Brother Mingyang, which school do you want to go to?"

Su Yu looked into the distance and asked softly.

"Yunnan University!" Wang Mingyang has a clear goal.

"Oh!"

Su Yu nodded. Yunnan University is considered the best university in Yunnan Province. It is also suitable to go there if you want to find a library.

"Well, I have to prepare my weapons first."

After Wang Mingyang said this, he took the lead and walked towards Yunnan University, followed by Su Yu and Mu Ningxue.

"You cleaned up several small buildings this morning. Do you know which room has the most metal objects?"

"Uh... I remember the third building in front. The kitchen there is very big, with many pots and pans, most of which are stainless steel." Su Yu thought for a while and said.

"It seems that the first floor of that store sells kitchenware, and there are many iron pots and knives." Mu Ningxue added.

"Okay, let's go here first. I need to replenish some steel needles." Wang Mingyang's eyes lit up and he immediately decided.

"What about your previous ones? Those are all forged by me." Su Yu was puzzled.

Wang Mingyang touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed: "Uh... I shot it on the Rat King last night and didn't have time to recover it."

Su Yu:...

Mu Ningxue:...

The three of them quickly entered the third small building through the rooftop. The zombies inside had been cleaned up by the two women.

Wang Mingyang walked into the living room and saw all kinds of ironware in the open kitchen at a glance.

With a wave of his hand, the steel knives turned into metal liquid and gathered in front of him. Wang Mingyang closed his eyes and sensed it.

The ability was activated again, and a part of the silver-white liquid was separated from a large mass of metal liquid.

This ball of silver liquid composed of titanium alloy slowly floated into Wang Mingyang's palm.

After testing the weight, Wang Mingyang nodded with satisfaction.

When the metal control ability manipulates metal, the lighter the metal, the less energy it consumes.

After reading "Basics of Metallurgy" many times, Wang Mingyang still gained a lot.

But his metal control ability is far from reaching the molecular level of control.

In this way, there is no way to adjust the molecular structure of the metal itself to construct the lightest and hardest metal alloy.

Although titanium alloy is not the hardest metal product, it is light in weight, and the steel needles and blades formed are sharp enough.

This is the most cost-effective control object for Wang Mingyang.

When carrying it with you, you will not be affected by the excessive weight caused by carrying too much.

Turning downstairs, he sorted out many knives and iron pots on the first floor and extracted a large amount of titanium alloy.

After being calcined again by Su Yu's dark flame ability, a large ball of refined and enchanted titanium alloy was stuffed into the backpack.

Wang Mingyang stuffed two more separated silver beads into his pocket.

Now Wang Mingyang is like a cannon for a musket!

At this time, he only wanted to say to the mutant rat king:

"If you dare to jump in front of me again, I will shoot you all over!"

Looking at the large group of metal balls floating around him, Wang Mingyang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If he had synthesized the mustard space ability at this time, he could just stuff all these titanium alloys in, and there would be no need for such trouble.

But he was reluctant to throw them aside, because they were all weapons to kill the enemy!

Wang Mingyang, who was not very concerned about the mustard space ability, suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

He must gather enough fragments of the mustard space ability as soon as possible so that he can carry a large amount of supplies with him.

This is too good!

At that time, he doesn't have to search for the control steel needle, and can directly transform into Li Xiaoyao and wave his hand to perform the Ten Thousand Swordsmanship!

It's all about being handsome!

"I'll go back first, you guys continue to clean up and practice! If you meet a survivor, be more careful, don't be a saint!"

Wang Mingyang said, and walked down the rooftop by himself, leaving the two women looking at each other.

"He really trusts us so much!" Su Yu was speechless.

"Who cares? Anyway, we have been acting alone for a whole morning, so it doesn't make much difference whether he is there or not." Mu Ningxue was very calm. In fact, she didn't reject Wang Mingyang's free-range method.

"Okay! We work hard and will surpass him sooner or later, so that he will bow his head and call me sister, hum!" Su Yu shook her bangs and turned to walk towards the rooftop on one side.

Mu Ningxue smiled slightly, shook her head and followed him, with an ice flower faintly condensed in her hand, ready to release an ice shield at any time.

Wang Mingyang returned to the house with the metal ball, transformed it into a metal cube and placed it in a corner of the living room.

He took out the book and returned to the desk, brewed a pot of tea leisurely, and continued to read the book.

This time, he focused more on understanding the knowledge of quantum mechanics and the microcosm, hoping that through this knowledge, he could increase the probability of obtaining the mustard seed space superpower fragments.

For this purpose, he also specially found a book "Discovery and Explanation: The Secret of the Material World".

After thinking carefully, he materialized another "Avatamsaka Sutra" from the system library.

A science book, a theology book...

Maybe while bringing him knowledge, he can also get some extra inspiration.

The cigarette smoke is accompanied by a hint of tea fragrance.

If before the end of the world, tell everyone that they can get superpowers by reading.

I believe that the most profitable ones are definitely those bookstores!

"Uh..."

Wang Mingyang suddenly discovered that this Buddhist classic not only gave reading value, but also actually extracted mustard seed space ability fragments...

"System, why can this theological book also extract ability fragments?"

[This "Avatamsaka Sutra" belongs to the Blue Star theological book, but its theory on the universe is indeed unique. 】

Great!

Originally, I thought that this "Avatamsaka Sutra" book derived the concept of "Mustard Seed Containing Sumeru" from a theological perspective.

Wang Mingyang wanted to use this to change his thinking, maybe it would help understand the mustard seed space.

Unexpectedly, fragments were really extracted!

Surprise!

It seems that religious books like this do have their own advantages.

In this way, the "Mustard Seed Space" ability fragment is only one piece away.

Wang Mingyang was delighted and continued to work hard!
