Chapter 39 [015] Beads, marbles, long-range attacks

"Long-range attack skills?" The master's eyes flashed with disdain under his white eyebrows. "If you want to learn firearms, you've found the wrong person. But I can teach you something else."

As he spoke, the master took off the small string of beads from his wrist and easily broke the string with a twist of his fingers.

"Watch it, I'll only demonstrate it once."

"!!"

Linlin didn't see the master's movements clearly at all. She only felt the master's arm move slightly. Across the training ground at least 30 meters away, a floor-standing vase broke in the middle and turned into a pile of porcelain pieces.

Qin Jiandan took a deep breath and sweat broke out on his forehead.

He saw the master hold a rosary between his thumb and index finger, and then eject it with force. The high-speed rosary brushed past him and hit the vase behind him.

There was no time to react! If the master had aimed at my heart, I might not have had time to use the Steel Armor Breathing Technique!

"Do you understand?" the master asked, "Did I just flick the beads out?"

When the master mentioned the rosary, Linlin noticed for the first time that the rosary that had smashed the vase had been deeply embedded in the wall behind.

Isn't this more powerful than an ordinary pistol? And the Master used soft wooden beads. If they were replaced with steel balls, the lethality would double. How can one train his entire body to become a deadly weapon like the Master?

"It's not just a simple ejection of the rosary." Qin Jiandan replied, "Master should have used the Steel Armor Breathing Technique to harden his thumb at the moment when the thumb finished charging and ejected the rosary, achieving the maximum degree of "rigid collision", so it has such a fast speed and such great power."

Master: "Rigid collision? Is this a term you learned from Doctor Li? You don't need to know the scientific principle behind it. Just practice diligently according to my demonstration, and you can kill the long-range enemy with marbles when you encounter it next time."

Qin Jiandan searched his jacket pockets, but found nothing resembling marbles. The master waved to Qin Jiandan and handed him the disassembled rosary.

"This is the rosary Aunt He gave me through Hu Chi. She said it was obtained from a blessing ceremony. Although she didn't know that I was sick, she seemed to have some guesses of her own."

Although the master is older, he also calls her "Aunt He" like Hu Chi. Qin Jiandan suspects that the master has forgotten Aunt He's real name.

"I've worn the rosary for two days, but I'm not used to it. Besides, life and death are determined by fate. What's the point of praying to God when you encounter difficulties? You might as well kill a few more enemies!"

Qin Jiandan stuffed a rosary into the gap between his thumb and index finger, then raised his hand and aimed at the place where the vase was broken.

"Snapped!"

The rosary was also embedded in the wall, but not as deep as the master's, and its accuracy was worse, with a horizontal deviation of at least 5 meters from the vase.

"What kind of aim is that?" the master taunted. "You missed so much. Are you planning to ask the sheriff to give you special training?"

When Linlin heard that her brother was going to learn shooting from the policewoman, she became anxious: "Brother, why don't you try using your left hand? Maybe your left hand is more suitable for marble shooting!"

Qin Jiandan didn't think Linlin's suggestion would work, but he still tried it. The result was unexpected. The rosary he flicked out with his left hand was perfectly embedded in the wall, right below the rosary of his master.

The master stroked his beard with satisfaction, and Linlin raised his hands high in a joyful gesture of "Long live!". Only Qin Jiandan didn't understand the principle behind it.

"What's going on?" Qin Jiandan asked Linlin, "How do you know that my left hand is more suitable for marble shooting?"

Linlin changed her celebratory posture from raising her hands high to a proud posture with her hands across her chest.

"Because even though you are right-handed, your left hand's fingers have a stronger grip! How do you know this? Sometimes when you get excited and hold my shoulders, it hurts more when your left hand holds my shoulders!"

Eh? Sometimes I am not as familiar with my body as Linlin! And I usually pay attention to controlling the strength, but I still hurt my sister accidentally. It's shameful! I will be more gentle next time!
Because she had not sat down to rest since coming out of the monitoring room, Linlin felt pain in her left leg. She asked her master in a low voice, and after getting permission, she sat down sideways next to her master.

Master's teacup was empty, so Linlin sat down and filled it with tea for Master.

Linlin never worked for her master in vain. Her master picked up the teacup from the low coffee table and looked at Qin Jiandan who was still experimenting with marbles:
"Jiandan, Linlin is much more useful than your sheriff, right? If you go to her to learn shooting, how long will it take her to find out that your left hand is more suitable for killing people with marbles?"

The master has no qualms about talking about "killing", and he deserves the nickname "God of Killing" given by people in the martial arts world.

If I ask Sheriff Mu Yue to teach me how to better master the "Pencil Killing", she will definitely not want to be an accomplice to murder. To put it another way, gun shooting and marble shooting are two different categories. Even if I train for a day and a night, I may not think of using my left hand.

Linlin saved me a lot of time, so I am very grateful! But Master, don’t you have bad intentions when you praise Linlin? Is the next step to the topic going to force me to marry my sister?

Qin Jiandan continued to practice ejecting the rosary beads while trying to avoid dangerous topics.

"Master, what do you think of the Furui people in dog form? If I bring such a Furui person to the guild, you won't eat her, right?" This is of course referring to Vale. Vale is very concerned about the sign at the entrance of the Night Dragon Club that says "Dogs and English are not allowed in." The fact that Master loves to eat dog meat is also...

The master glared at me and said, "Jiandan, are you stupid? The Night Dragon Guild is so big, isn't there anyone from Furui in our guild? And who said I like to eat dogs?"

Linlin whispered beside him, "Master, everyone in the guild seems to say that you really like to eat dog meat..."

The master stroked his beard for a while before he remembered something.

"Oh, it was during the famine in the outer city. Everyone was starving, but few people ate the 'dog cell animal mud' that was brought over. I got angry and said I loved eating dog meat, and asked them to bring all the dog stuff to me. Maybe that's why the rumor started."

"There are mutant wolfhounds in the outer city, but the mutated animals are quite toxic. Why would I eat them if I have nothing better to do? If I catch ordinary dogs that have not mutated, why don't I sell them back to the inner city at a high price? Wouldn't it be crazy if I just stewed the dogs and ate them?"

I see. It seems that Vale doesn't have to worry about Night Dragon not welcoming her or being eaten by the Guild Master... The biggest obstacle at the moment is that she is unwilling to betray the Sheriff. But if the Sheriff becomes the Young Master's wife...

The string of beads was soon used up. Qin Jiandan had initially mastered the technique of shooting marbles, but he was temporarily out of ammunition.

One idea is to go out and ask Aunt He if she has more rosaries, but it would not be good if Aunt He knew that the rosaries obtained from the gods and Buddhas were used to kill people.

"The rosary is a little too soft. My skills are not as good as Master's. It might be more appropriate to use something harder."

"Use this! Master mentioned before that you might need it, so I prepared it in advance!"

Linlin took out a bag of beads from her multifunctional belt and Qin Jiandan took it. Qin Jiandan sometimes felt that his sister's multifunctional belt was like Doraemon's four-dimensional bag.

Packed in a small sealed plastic bag are 12 colorful transparent glass beads, which have been used as marble props by children since the Earth era.

In order to test the feel, Qin Jiandan shot a glass bead at the wall. The glass bead made a fierce sound of breaking through the air, created a bigger hole in the wall, and shattered inside.

"It's of moderate size and hard enough. It will break into pieces after hitting someone, and the fragments will further increase the lethality..."

Qin Jiandan stuffed the remaining glass beads into his jacket pocket. As long as they were stuffed into the corner of the pocket, they would not fall out easily during the battle. Qin Jiandan was overjoyed to have a handy weapon.

"Linlin, you are so smart! If you use glass beads, it will be so easy to get ammunition! If the glass beads are used up, I can just steal the glass beads from the runny-nosed kid!"

Linlin's face was filled with black lines: "Brother, please don't bring shame to the Night Dragon Society. If a young master goes to rob a child... you should at least buy him with money, right?"

When Qin Jiandan put the last glass bead into his pocket, he found that this bead was different.

The other glass beads were completely transparent, with the fancy colors inside coming from the colored glass, but this bead was deep red, as if a small explosion had been frozen inside the time sphere.

"Brother, be careful," Linlin said, "That red bead is my prototype. It contains pyrogallol. It will explode if you throw it out!"

"Ph...phlogiston explosives?" Qin Jiandan's hands trembled. "Linlin, how could you keep such a dangerous thing in your belt?"

Linlin: "It's okay. It has multiple insurances. It's safe as long as you use it correctly. Brother, come over here..."

The chubby-haired girl called her brother to come closer. Considering her sister's leg injury, Qin Jiandan moved closer to listen to her explanation.

Linlin pointed to the top of the red bead. If you look closely, you will find a tiny hole there.

"An average person's grip strength is not enough to do this, but my brother can destroy the mechanism inside by just pressing his thumb on this small hole with a little force. After the mechanism is destroyed, you can feel the surface of the bead getting noticeably hot. As long as you throw it out within 5 seconds, it will explode if it hits other objects!"

When talking about "explosion", Linlin used expressions and gestures to simulate a "bang" special effect.

"Besides that, it won't explode if it's hit by pressure from other directions or if it falls to the ground. It's as safe as the city police's explosive grenades. Just trust me, brother!"

"Look how good your sister is to you," the master commented, "I had Tiger Chi test the red bead with his mechanical prosthetic limbs. Although he was able to crush the mechanism, the angle of force he applied was different from your fingers, so the red bead did not explode."

So they are using Brother Huchi for experiments again! Fortunately, there was no explosion, otherwise Brother Huchi would have to carry his prosthesis to be repaired again, and his salary as the security captain would have been used to repair his prosthesis! This kind of behavior of casually destroying other people's prostheses should be thoroughly criticized!
After hearing what his master said, and with his sister's guarantee of quality, Qin Jiandan confidently put the last red bead into his jacket pocket.

Linlin leaned her elbows on her master's low coffee table, her face supported by her hands as she looked at her brother's profile.

"Hehe, this bead is red, and red is my color..."
