Meng Huai honestly replied, "No, it's not."
Although this saber couldn't be mounted on a mecha, Jing Yuan Cheng still liked it very much. Collecting it was a good option.
However, Jing Yuan Cheng was still a little hesitant. If it were just a useless saber, even if it only cost three thousand star coins, he would consider it not worth it.
So, Jing Yuan Cheng asked, "This saber looks good, but I wonder if it's all show and no substance."
Not knowing if Senior Jing was used to being arrogant, his words didn't seem to consider others' feelings much. Were these words too impolite? Many people looked at Meng Huai with concern.
Meng Huai casually waved her hand and said, "Senior can try it freely."
Although Meng Huai wasn't quite sure what level current weapons could reach, she still had confidence in her own craftsmanship.
Seeing the tension between the two, Qiu Han stepped forward, wanting to mediate. However, this wasn't a situation that could be resolved by a few casual words. So, after thinking, she said, "Why don't we test the saber's power with this?"
Qiu Han picked up a piece of ore from the stall. Jing Yuan Cheng looked over and asked, "This stone?"
Qiu Han explained to Jing Yuan Cheng, "Yes, that's right, Senior Jing. This ore is purple gold stone, the hardest among A-class materials. Many mecha outer shells are forged with this material."
The hardest A-class material. Jing Yuan Cheng nodded, thinking that testing the saber with this stone was feasible.
"Alright," Jing Yuan Cheng said, intending to give it a try, but then he turned to Meng Huai again for confirmation, "Can I use this to test it? If it gets broken, I won't pay you!"
Although Jing Yuan Cheng wasn't short of money, he didn't want to pay for it because of Meng Huai's blind confidence.
Meng Huai maintained her calm demeanor. She looked at Jing Yuan Cheng and said, "Senior, please feel free to try. If it breaks, it's on me!"
Upon hearing Meng Huai's words, Jing Yuan Cheng asked Qiu Han to place the purple gold stone on the ground nearby. Then, he raised the saber and swung. As the saber rose, the stone split into two.
The people who had been drawn over by the commotion began to discuss, "Wow, this saber is really good!"
"Yeah, didn't that mecha engineer say this stone is the sharpest? I didn't expect it to split in half with just a light swing."
Looking at the neat cut on the supposedly sharpest purple gold stone, Meng Huai nodded. It seemed Senior Jing really had some skill, as the cut was very clean. Moreover, it split the stone in half with just one strike, leaving no marks on the ground. This level of precision was not achievable without considerable skill.
Jing Yuan Cheng looked at the saber in his hand and then at the stone on the ground, thinking to himself: it seems this is truly a good saber.
Qiu Han was also shocked. This was raw ore, and its hardness was no joke. The raw ore was twenty percent harder than the finished product because there were inevitably some losses during material processing.
"This... this... even a lightsaber can't easily cut through purple gold stone in one go! Junior sister, your saber..."
Qiu Han was speechless. Furthermore, Qiu Han couldn't readily accept that this saber, which she had never paid much attention to, was better than the weapons on a mecha.
Jing Yuan Cheng, holding the saber, also sighed, murmuring, "Truly remarkable!"
Then, he looked at Meng Huai, "I'll buy this saber."
Just moments ago, three thousand star coins seemed a bit steep to Jing Yuan Cheng. Now, he felt he was getting a bargain. Hearing Meng Huai mention earlier that she had forged the saber herself, Jing Yuan Cheng became curious about her.
He looked at Meng Huai and asked, "Are you also a freshman? Majoring in Mecha Engineering?"
Mecha Engineering was what these mecha engineers had to study, but Meng Huai, of course, was not.
Meng Huai had to explain again, "Yes, no, I'm a freshman in the Logistics Department."
Jing Yuan Cheng was surprised again, "Ah? This saber isn't your work?"
Meng Huai said, "I made this saber. The forging method is a bit different from usual weapons. Well... I have B-class perception, so I can only enroll in the Logistics Department."
Hearing Meng Huai's words, Jing Yuan Cheng wasn't sure whether to focus on this so-called forging method or on the B-class perception and logistics.
"So it's the forging method that's different! No wonder..." No wonder he hadn't noticed this saber before, nor thought it was anything special. Qiu Han trailed off, thinking to herself.
Before Jing Yuan Cheng could say anything, Qiu Han spoke up first with a sigh.
Jing Yuan Cheng's words were interrupted by Qiu Han, but he was even more curious about the B-class perception.
Jing Yuan Cheng looked up at Meng Huai, "You have B-class perception? I really can't tell. Let's add each other on comms. If you have any good weapons, let me know. Your saber is quite good."
Meng Huai was now in a position where whoever paid was the boss, so she added Jing Yuan Cheng to her comms.
"Okay, I actually have a few items. I'll bring them to show you next time."
However, if they were all priced at three thousand star coins, Meng Huai would be heartbroken. It was only because she was in urgent need of money now that she reluctantly sold the Wuji Saber. Meng Huai thought that she should charge a higher price next time.
