The Qin family prepared a few options for Han Sen to choose from. In the end, Han Sen chose a weapon that was made from Z-steel.
Z-steel ores contained a lot of impurities. One thousand grams of Z-steel ores could only produce five grams of Z-steel that was ninety-nine percent pure.
Z-steel was very hard, but it was also very brittle. Its ductility and ductility were poor, and it could not be used as a weapon or machine component.
To use an inappropriate analogy, the refined Z-steel was like harder porcelain. Only when it was fused with other metals would it have good hardness and toughness, which made it suitable for forging weapons.
But in Z-steel ores, there were always high-purity ores. No one knew how those ores were formed, but they were usually only the size of a finger. They contained at least fifty percent Z-steel, and some of them were even higher. They could reach eighty to ninety percent.
These Z-steel ores were not only very hard, but also very flexible and ductile. They were very suitable for making weapons. However, once this ores were smelted, they would become as brittle as ordinary Z-steel. Therefore, they could only be polished a little, and there was no way to use them for forging.
These raw stones were usually used to make bullets, but because guns could not be used in the sanctuaries, the Z-steel raw stones were not very useful in the sanctuaries.
But the Qin family had many Z-steel ores, and they had accumulated a lot of Z-steel ores. Some of them were quite big.
The best ores had a Z-steel content of over ninety percent, and they were much bigger than normal ones. They could be made into simple objects.
When Han Sen saw the Z-steel, he thought of his peacock crossbow. The Z-steel was only one foot long, and it was as thick as a finger. It was too thin to be used as a knife, and it wouldn't be easy to sharpen the Z-steel into a blade, either.
Han Sen thought that if he worked with the ores, they could be made into good bolts. They would be very useful to Han Sen.
So, Han Sen chose the Z-steel raw stone, and the Qin family promised to help him make bolts. Grinding Z-steel raw stone was a complicated process, and it would take a long time. So, Han Sen couldn't get his hands on the bolts just yet.
According to the Qin family, Han Sen should be able to get his first two bolts in half a month. After that, the Qin family would give him two bolts each month.
Han Sen could understand why. Z-steel ores were very hard, and they could not be heated or chemically treated. They had to be ground slowly, and that took a long time.
Han Sen was looking forward to seeing the Z-steel arrows. If the Z-steel arrows were made from raw stones that contained more than ninety percent Z-steel, they would be as tough as the raven feather arrows. They might even be stronger.
Raven feather bolts could not be taken out of the sanctuaries, but Z-steel bolts could be taken anywhere.
Han Sen quietly returned to the Goddess Shelter and put away the beetle knight. He returned to the Alliance to do some research, hoping to track down some second-generation super creatures.
"Brother, have you signed up for the Divinity's Bout yet?" Tang Zhenliu contacted Han Sen and asked excitedly.
"No, it would be a waste of time." Han Sen laughed.
"Why don't you sign up? You should. You have such an awesome pet. Maybe you really have a chance to become one of the top ten Chosen and win glory for us humans," Tang Zhenliu said.
"It doesn't matter how strong my pet is. If someone tries to kill me, I'll still die. Why bother?" Han Sen spread out his hands.
"You are right. But if you don't go, we humans won't stand a chance in this Divinity's Bout.
For the past one hundred years, the top ten Son of God's have all been spirits. It is a disgrace. "Tang Zhenliu looked depressed.
"Unless we max out our super geno points, we won't be able to compete," Han Sen said with a smile.
"It will be difficult. There are already people in the First God's Sanctuary who can obtain Life Geno Essences, but they can't find a way to absorb them. It is the same in the Second God's Sanctuary. Who knows how long it will take to obtain super geno points?" Tang Zhenliu, hearing Han Sen say this, felt even more depressed.
"I hope it won't take too long. I want to become a surpasser sooner." Han Sen laughed.
"You are so lucky to have a pet like that. Next time you kill a super creature, consider our family. We can give you what the Qin family can give you," Tang Zhenliu said.
"Let's wait until I kill a super creature first. You know pets are just pets, and I'm too weak as a master. Hunting a super creature is dangerous, and I don't want to risk it," Han Sen said.
…
After ending the call with Tang Zhenliu, many people came to ask him if he wanted to join Divinity's Bout. It seemed that many people wanted him to join.
Many people really wanted Han Sen to become a Son of God. They wanted to make sure the name of humanity was on the tablet.
But Han Sen told them he wouldn't join Divinity's Bout.
He didn't know how many people were watching him every day, so he couldn't do something like that.
Many people didn't believe Han Sen wouldn't join Divinity's Bout, but Han Sen wasn't in the Alliance or the Goddess Shelter. He didn't go out at all, so the people watching him knew. When the registration for Divinity's Bout was over, Han Sen didn't go to the Martial Hall to sign up. It looked like he really had given up.
"I hope I can become a Son of God this time. If I can get a super spirit, that would be great." Han Sen used the beetle knight as a stand-in again and snuck out.
If Dollar participated in the competition, he could show off his super power and let people know that he had obtained super geno points. That would distract the attention of the others, so he wouldn't be the center of attention.
But there was still some time before the start of Divinity's Bout, and he didn't have to participate in the preliminaries of the shelter. He could take first place right away. So, Han Sen planned to use this time to check out a second-generation super creature.
Recently, Han Sen had done a lot of research, and he had learned something. In an evolver's post, Han Sen believed the evolver had encountered a second-generation super creature.
The place where the evolver encountered the creature was in Devil's Mountain, which was close to Han Sen. So, Han Sen wanted to take a look. Perhaps it really was a second-generation super creature. If that was the case, then his chance had come.
