Breaking The Fourth Walls (A Douluo Dalu Fanfic) - Chapter 11

After 3 days of smooth traveling I had finally arrived in the city of technology and metal, Gengxin city. As I went thru the city I noticed that this place looked like Britain, when it was going through the industrial revolution. I mean each of these technologies have the same objective as some of the things in my old world, I saw that there was a machine that had the shape of a teapot. However, the person who was developing it, told the audience that it was supposed to store anything in a cool environment ironically. Another, inventor that developed his own technology with another man were on a stage saying that he had developed a machine capable of flight.

At that moment I turned to look at those two people and saw that they were standing next to a machine that looked exactly like the first airplane. The young inventor then continued his speech while looking at the crowd in front of him.

Long tian: Ladies and gentlemen for years only those of titled douluo, were able to explore the sky and look down upon the continent. Now me and my brother long Yun have finally invented a machine capable of flight without having to become a titled douluo. Feast your eyes upon “the rising dragon”, this machine has an engine capable of creating wind up to 5 knots. As well as wings to let the rising dragon float above the clouds and allow it to slowly descend. Included to this, are two rubber wheels that are attached to its bottom so that the aircraft can descend on the ground safely without any accidents.

Long Yun: Now allow us to demonstrate what our creation can do.

They then got on what would be known as the first airplane and started the engine and began gaining speed and finally they were flying. Everyone on the ground were stunned at this and began cheering for the two brothers, however I saw that their engine caught smoke and was on fire. I quickly ate my sausage that had capability to let me fly, I then flew to them before the aircraft crashed. I landed on the ground while holding the two brothers who had looks of disappointment on their faces, as we landed on the ground one of the bystanders laughed at them.

Bystander 1: Hahahaha, I guess you don’t need to be a titled douluo after all.

He said this annoyingly as he pointed at me and seeing how I was able to fly without being a rank titled douluo.

Bystander 2: What do you expect, these guys are the sons of the failed inventor and blacksmith Long Shin. The only reason they are even considered inventors is because of their master who is the only one everyone respects.

I then noticed the two brothers ignored those two pricks and everyone else, while they went to pick the remains of their invention. They then left the area looking upwards and then at each other while having a smile on their faces as they hid the disappointment behind it. I followed them hoping if they could help me find the person I was looking for, but then I noticed a big spider shaped building. Only then did I notice that this machine was in the manhua and belonged to the person I am looking for.

Long Yun: Hey old man, open up

The door on the spider shaped building opened and slid down metallic steps that the brothers used to step on. I then shouted to the two brothers to wait…

Oscar: WAIT

Long tian:!!!

Long Yun: Who are you, wait aren’t you the guy that saved us from the fall

Oscar: Yes, I am

Oscar: A thank you would be nice

Long Tian/Yun: Thanks

They then tried to close the door on me but with my speed I swiftly got in, while getting behind the brothers who were still facing forward. Then as they were sure that the door was shut they turned only to see the person that they had just rudely closed the door on was in front of them. At first, they were about to attack me but then realized that if I was able to slip past them I must be strong.

Long Yun: What rank are you

Oscar: NOYB

Long tian: What does that mean

Oscar: None of Your Business

Long Yun: What do you want

Oscar: To meet your master

Oscar: Alright, thanks you guys.

Long Yun: Shut up and don’t make any noise once you see the old man, he does not want to be disturbed by strangers.

Oscar: So are you guys the only disciples of Lou Gao

Long Tian: Yeah, why do you also want to become his disciple as well

I then stood still and scratched my head while blushing and nodded my head slowly

Long Yun: Well good luck with that, since the old man is not accepting anyone right now.

Oscar: I’ll try my luck

I then thought to myself that it is also different here because Lou Gao’s disciples were Si long, Si Yu, Si kai, and Si di. Haaah I guess my knowledge of the timeline is useless, I then distracted myself by looking around at the metallic walls and this labyrinth like path. 2 minutes later we finally entered a room full of inventions and light, I then noticed a short, fat, and bald man with an unkempt moustache. This man is the one I am looking for, the one who could help me invent a weapon from my past that was lethal in every way. I was about to call to him but then the two brothers told me to shush, seeing as the old man is in a critical step of his invention.

Then 5 minutes later he finally stopped and threw whatever he just made on the floor as if it had no use or purpose anymore. But I saw that what he just invented was a watch that looked like the ones in my past life, a hand watch. I then saw him sit down on the chair next to him and finally noticed us standing at the entrance.

The brothers only replied with silence and were looking downwards while hiding their broken invention behind them. He then saw that there was an additional person next to the two brothers, he then turned to the brothers asking his second question.

Lou Gao: Hey brats what did I tell you about letting in strays

I felt annoyed at this old man for calling me some stray animal that was brought into his house from the street.

Long Tian: This guy came in against our will and told us that he wanted to meet you

Lou Gao: You, what’s your name

He said as he pointed at me with his index finger and rubbing his moustache with left hand

Oscar: My name is Oscar and I want to be your disciple

Lou Gao: Hahahaha, what do you think I am some orphanage that accepts anyone out of the blue

Oscar: I did not come here for nothing, and I got something for you if you make me your disciple

Oscar: Even this blueprint

Lou Gao: Huh?

I then threw a blue print towards Lou Gao and waited for his reaction, I then saw that the two brothers were also curious. Then 2 minutes later Lou Gao got up and grabbed my shoulders while shouting next to my ears…

Lou Gao: Please tell me where the other half of this blue print is

You are probably wondering what the blue print I showed him is right, well it certainly is not the hidden weapon that Tang San made. Trust me it is something more dangerous and lethal, the blueprint that I showed him was that of the deadliest sniper rifle in my old world the “M40A5”. You see back when I was handed the reward money I was invited to the US naval base and that was when I saw the blueprints they had. So, I asked if I could look at them, of course they were sceptical but then agreed because I was only a teenager and I would probably forget about it the next day.

However, what they did not know was that I had a photographic memory and apparently those memories came with me into this world as well. Anyways one of the most interesting blueprint that I saw was that of the M40A5 not only is this weapon able to kill silently, but the power behind it is also something many in my old world feared. However, I couldn’t make this weapon because I did not have the materials to build it, and I also did not know the basics of being a blacksmith. However now that I found Lou Gao I could make him teach me and help me build this weapon.

But the substitute for the materials came first, I know that we needed the necessary components of the M40A5. Things like a Barrel, the muzzle, the Bipod, the scope, and etc but if I can get materials for it that are of high grade then not only would the M40A5 become more powerful. But it would also be feared, even in this world where experts can break mountains and change weather. I then looked at the old man in front of me, who was practically on his knees begging to see the other half of the Blueprint.

Oscar: Fine but I have three conditions are you sure you want to hear it.

Lou Gao: Whatever it is I will do it if you let me see the other half of the blueprint.

Lou Gao: Done

Oscar: Second, I want you to never reveal anything about this to anyone

Lou Gao: Yes, I will never

He then turned to the Long brothers and shouted at them

Lou Gao: You brats better not say anything about this you hear

The two brothers could only nod their heads, as they were still in shock seeing their master a respected person in this city is bowing and prostrating in front of a stranger.

Oscar: Okay and the final condition is that we will begin working on this blueprint after I become as good as you.

Lou Gao was fine with that as long as he got to build the M40A5, he then stood up and shook my hand and spoke.

Lou Gao: With pŀėȧsurė

Siri: Ding congratulations host for receiving the blacksmith manual

Oscar: Huh but I did not pay for that Siri

Siri: No need host you received this because you were starting your training to become a blacksmith

Oscar: Really wow, who does not want free stuff. Siri open my items

………………

Items:

Storage Space: 4×8 meters (Upgradeable)

Martial arts manual: Mortal stage (39%)

(Moves from; Tai chi, Kenpo, Karate, Judo, Muay Thai, Capoeira, etc)

{Combined into; ZuiZhong Yidong or ultimate moves}

Weapons manual: Mortal Stage (20%)

{Sword proficiency: 70%}

Body refining manual: Mortal Stage (32%)

Heaven and earth cultivation manual: Mortal stage (40%)

Food wars cooking skills: Mortal stage (50%)

Godly cooking sets: Mortal stage (15%)

Blacksmith manual: Mortal stage (2%)

……………..

Oscar: So, Siri what if I wanted to be an engineer, would I also receive a manual for it

Siri: Don’t worry host you should know that an inventor, engineer, technician, and many other professions that have a relation to a black smith all fall under that of the black smith manual.

Oscar: Wait so what if I wanted to build a smart phone

Siri: Then host you would have to reach the earth stage in the blacksmith manual

Oscar: Why

Siri: Because unlike the cultivation and body refining manual you received, the black smith manual allows the host to obtain blueprints and better proficiency in creating them when you reach the earth stage.

Oscar: Holy crap, I should have become a blacksmith in the first place.

So, from there I tried to increase the percentage in the manual this way when I reach the earth stage I can receive the blueprints I want. I then used a hammer technique Old man Lou taught me and was finally able to refine a metal piece with 300 strokes. However, this did not satisfy me at all, as I sought to create a technique which limited the number of strokes but increased the refinement of the metal.

I also helped the two long brothers with their engine and glider at the same time, at first, they didn’t like me but once they got to try my cooking they immediately warmed up to me. In fact, even the old man commented on it with a smile full of pŀėȧsurė and said that it was better than what the best restaurant in Gengxin city made. From then on, the three inventors accepted me as a part of their small family, but what they did not know was what my plan was for becoming a blacksmith.

There was a saying in my old world, “You can never be too careful” and this saying is why I am becoming a blacksmith. Once I reach Old man Lou’s level I will finally be able to make my other weapons without his help this way when I am in danger I already have a contingency plan. This the is just the beginning of my weaponry to battle those who are stronger than me…
