Chapter 270: The Divine Art of Firing Cannons with an Electromagnetic Induction Coil
The system's sharp tongue was as vicious as ever…
"Sigh!"
Li Jiexuan let out a long sigh. He had once thought himself wealthy, but now it seemed he was far from it…
Just as he was pondering how to make money, a loud bang bang suddenly came from the door.
"Master!"
Ye Shenké rushed in excitedly and knelt before Li Jiexuan. "noshimura has finally made a move! He's gathered several of his old subordinates at his home for a secret meeting."
"…"
Li Jiexuan's expression twisted in discomfort: this unlucky kid his own father is courting death, and he's this happy about it? This isn't even righteous patricide, it's more like laughing your father to death…
But on the surface, Li Jiexuan still gave Ye Shenké his full approval: "Shenké, you've done very well. I'll leave noshimura to you. Keep up the good work (of screwing over your own dad)!"
"Yes, Master!"
Ye Shenké was overjoyed. With a loud thump, he slammed his head to the ground in a kowtow, expressing his loyalty. "From the day you accepted me as your disciple, I decided to dedicate myself and even the entire Land of Ye to you!"
"Good disciple."
Li Jiexuan brushed him off casually. To him, Ye Shenké had always been a disposable pawn. For now, he'd make use of him but it wouldn't be long before he was discarded…
But suddenly, Li Jiexuan thought of something and grabbed Ye Shenké: "Does the Land of Ye have gold!?"
"Yes!"
Ye Shenké answered eagerly. He was willing to offer everything to Li Jiexuan.
"Ye Shenké, you've done a great service!"
Li Jiexuan rubbed his hands excitedly. "The Land of Ye is a country after all I won't ask for much. Let's start with five hundred jin of gold!"
Five minutes later, inside the treasury of the Land of Ye…
"This… is your gold reserve?"
"Yes!"
A dull grayish-yellow gold nugget the size of an adult's fist lay alone in a wooden box. Li Jiexuan turned his head in disbelief, tears of poverty streaming down his face…
This is too hard!
The entire Land of Ye only had this little gold. But thinking about it carefully, how could a small country in the Naruto world possibly possess large amounts of gold?
Whether it was gold or talent, it had long since been monopolized by the Five Great Nations…
At a glance, aside from this impure lump of gold, the entire treasury contained only the lowest-grade ninja tools. It was painfully poor.
Seeing this, Ye Shenké immediately knelt down in fear and sincerity: "Master, the Land of Ye was only recently established. The treasury is barren I've disappointed you."
Before he even finished speaking, Ye Shenké gritted his teeth. "But please, Master, state your needs. Even if it takes the full strength of the entire nation, we will spare no effort."
Hearing this, Li Jiexuan figured he might as well take a shot in the dark and explained the requirements for an electromagnetic induction coil.
"Uh…"
Ye Shenké scratched his head awkwardly, suppressing a laugh for quite a while before speaking: "I've never heard of such a ninja tool in my life."
A spring-like coil wound from a metal wire not only must it have excellent conductivity, but the material must also be strong enough to withstand tens of millions of volts of electricity.
There was no need to think about it no ninja in history had ever used such a tool…
Or rather, no matter how you looked at it, this didn't resemble a ninja tool at all!
"Hmph!"
Li Jiexuan curled his lips in disdain: The world laughs at me for being mad; I laugh at the world for failing to see through it.
The day my electromagnetic induction coil cannon technique reaches perfection will be the day the entire ninja world trembles!
"But why don't you have one custom-made?" Ye Shenké suddenly said seriously. "Even with the Land of Ye's finances, a small ninja tool like this is completely affordable!"
"Custom-made?"
Li Jiexuan froze for a moment. Although he knew Naruto well, that knowledge all came from the anime. Once it strayed from the main storyline, he actually knew very little about the broader world…
"That's right the Land of Crafts offers custom services!"
