The Last Gentleman

Chapter 78

Under Chamberson’s guidance, Yi Chen followed him to the mid-level district of the city, a street primarily focused on the sale and forging of weapons: . A large number of blacksmith shops of various designs were set up here, characterized by:

- Massive metal chimneys,

- A stifling heat at least 10°C hotter than other districts,

- The ceaseless sounds of hammering and shouting.

Despite such an environment, many gentlemen frequented this area,

"How much does it cost to add transformation features?"

Yi Chen couldn’t help but worry about the price, as he still hadn’t repaid the money owed to Edmund.

"If transformations are added, the cost will exceed ten thousand."

Just as Yi Chen was about to decline,

Chamberson firmly placed his business card on the counter.

"Go for the highest standard. As long as the final product meets the specifications, charge it to my account.

This technology is quite impressive and deserves to be paired with this precious crystal material. I also have some materials here—feel free to use them if needed."

"Alright then.

Next, we’ll need to finalize the design details, including the weapon's transformation modes and forms, as well as address feasibility issues.

Once the blueprint is finalized, we’ll select materials and take precise measurements of the user’s physical parameters.

After completing all the preparations, it’ll take over two weeks to manufacture. Once it’s done, we’ll notify you immediately."

"Sounds good. William, you stay here to confirm the weapon’s design details. I’ve got some other matters to attend to."

As Chamberson left, the initial stages of weapon crafting officially began.

When it came time to measure Yi Chen’s body parameters, Bengus was surprised to discover that the seemingly lean young man actually had an oddly powerful and robust physique.

"Your body… this wasn’t built through conventional training, was it?"

Yi Chen smiled and replied, "Let’s just say the process was extremely painful."

"No wonder you could slay severely infected beings, and Professor Chamberson values you so highly.

Since you might be someone capable of helping humanity escape its plight, I’ll do everything I can to forge the best weapon for you.

To ensure the final product fits you perfectly, we may call you over to test it from time to time. So, stay in the city for now and don’t wander off."

"No problem. I’ll be at the academy most of this month anyway. Thank you, Mr. Bengus."
