Chapter 179 Gift of Knife
After Meng Xueyi finished speaking, the room fell into an eerie silence, and everyone else remained silent as well, plunging the room into silence once again.
Glenn watched her quietly, feeling as if he had discovered a treasure. She was a master of close combat! You really couldn't tell from her appearance!
"Hmm, this Meng Xueyi also has investment potential! Hey? These 100,000 soldiers are all handpicked from the best of the best; there are probably quite a few talented individuals among them!"
Glenn thought to himself, already having devised a plan.
Seeing this situation, Meng Xueyi immediately fell silent and stopped hoping for any weapons, entering a state of complete dazedness.
It was only then that Glenn realized the atmosphere.
He asked:
"What kind of weapon do you want? Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, anything is fine. Oh! By the way, draw the style and size you want on paper."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and a pen from the micro-wormhole and floated towards Meng Xueyi.
Meng Xueyi's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously took it. With the surprised help of her comrades, she began to draw according to the size she needed.
As a close-combat expert, she was all too familiar with her own needs.
Before long, a simple sketch of the weapon appeared on the paper, with its dimensions marked.
After finishing the drawing, Meng Xueyi carefully approached Glenn and handed it to him.
Glenn took it without hesitation.
After finishing this task, Meng Xueyi rushed back, during which she heard her team leader, Lin Ying, sigh.
Meng Xueyi lowered her head nervously. After all, she had made the choice on her own, which was an overstepping of authority in the military.
But deep down, I really wanted a good weapon, even though the one I was previously equipped with in the army was of good quality.
But when she fought the aliens in close combat, she learned that the weapon couldn't even penetrate their armor. If it weren't for her exceptional skills, she might have been killed multiple times.
In order to maintain her advantage in the legion, she was eager to solve this problem, only in this way could she kill more enemies in future wars.
To protect the nation, to protect the people, and to defend her beliefs.
At this moment, she was facing an opportunity, which is why she did not hesitate to overstep her authority and try to seek a sharp weapon from the state through Glenn.
Based on the information they received, the weapons and equipment of the Super Soldier Company were made by the state.
Therefore, her request might be approved.
Glenn looked at the detailed weapon sketches on the paper, glanced at Meng Xueyi with some surprise, and thought to himself:
"This girl actually uses a Tang sword?"
Looking at that long, straight, single-edged weapon, it was clearly the type of Tang sword that he often used! It was just a little short, but that was normal. With Meng Xueyi's petite figure, this size was just right.
Noticing Meng Xueyi's occasional glances, Glenn chuckled. Interesting.
Since it was such a weapon, Glenn didn't waste any time and directly reached out and grasped at the air.
In an instant, to everyone's astonishment, a long, slender, dark-colored sword began to appear out of thin air, taking shape little by little.
In particular, the faintly glowing golden patterns inside the blade made the originally dark blade look much more noble and gorgeous.
In addition, delicate spirals appear on the handle, gradually forming a magical pattern, like a living phoenix spreading its wings and soaring into the sky.
From this moment on, it is a work of art, not a weapon.
At this moment, Meng Xueyi stared intently at the long sword, not moving an inch, nor pondering Glenn's miraculous skills. Her mind was only on the sword; it was so beautiful.
How beautiful! That's what everyone else is thinking too.
Seeing the long sword take shape, Glenn flicked his finger, and the long sword automatically appeared in his hand.
Although the material is not top-of-the-line, Glenn incorporated more than one shimmering pattern into it to enhance its stability, sturdiness, and sharpness.
It can be said that this longsword is at the level of a divine weapon on Earth at this moment. Of course, it is still not as good as the weapons of the Super Soldier Squad members. After all, those are high-tech equipment with weapon engines, and there are only a few sets of them in the world.
Holding the small-looking longsword in his hand, Glenn looked at Meng Xueyi and said:
"This longsword has reached its limit in all aspects and should be able to meet your needs. Now, it is yours."
As he spoke, he gently tossed it towards Meng Xueyi. The next moment, to Meng Xueyi's astonishment, it fell straight into the ground like a javelin.
The smooth movement stunned Meng Xueyi for a moment before she subconsciously bent down to catch it. However, her reaction was too late, and she could only hurriedly grasp the handle of the knife after it had been falling for a while.
The crowd stared in astonishment. What had they just witnessed?
The blade was already halfway into the ground. If Meng Xueyi hadn't reacted quickly enough to grab the hilt and stop the fall, the blade would have plunged all the way to the bottom.
Keep in mind that what they're standing on is a reinforced concrete structure! And it's extremely hard; even a shell wouldn't penetrate it in one go.
As you can imagine, this knife was incredibly sharp, almost like a kitchen knife cutting through tofu – it was a complete waste of time.
Meng Xueyi remained bent over, staring blankly at the blade stuck in the ground. Her small mouth opened slightly involuntarily, revealing her pink, upturned tongue.
"cough!"
After a long while, Meng Xueyi finally came to her senses amidst Lin Ying's coughing.
She quickly straightened up, and the long sword was easily and smoothly pulled out.
At this moment, Meng Xueyi's big eyes sparkled, revealing her affection.
He then thanked Glenn, saying:
"Thank you for the knife, sir. I will cherish it."
After saying that, she wanted to put away her long sword, but then she realized that the sword was not sheathed. Because of the sharpness of the blade, she dared not put it down casually. Helpless, she had no choice but to hold the sword in her hand and face Glenn in an awkward posture, as if she were challenging him.
Glenn found it somewhat amusing; he had forgotten to prepare a scabbard for her—a lapse in judgment.
The main reason is that I never use that thing. I take it out of the micro wormhole space during battle and put it back when I don't need it. I've never had the habit of carrying it with me.
Seeing her like this, Glenn performed another operation, and an exquisite scabbard appeared out of thin air again, which Glenn then casually tossed over.
Meng Xueyi understood Glenn's intention the moment he made his move, and a big smile spread across her face.
Just as the scabbard was pointing directly at her, Meng Xueyi moved, thrusting the knife straight into the scabbard with extreme precision.
Then, with a slight flick of her slender fingers, the long sword, along with its scabbard, leaped upwards, and she caught it, spinning it around and holding it upside down beside her.
The series of movements were extremely precise, natural, and elegant, making them a delight to behold.
Glenn's eyes lit up. As expected of someone from an ancient martial arts family, such exquisite control is not something an ordinary person can do. He is truly a talent!
The others remained calm. They had witnessed Meng Xueyi's superb skills during their training together. If it weren't for the fact that her physical fitness, shooting, and command abilities were slightly inferior, she would also be qualified to serve as the battalion commander.
