Although Bai Gui's face changed very quickly, his smile was partly polite, partly distant, and partly indifferent and easy-going, which gave people a pretty good first impression.
What's more, his bad tone just now was not intentional, it was entirely a matter of personal habits and personality. His assistant had already explained it to Yun You before coming in, and Yun You understood it quite well.
This little temper is perfectly normal.
"Hello, Master Bai Gui."
"Boss Yun, just call me Bai Gui or Professor Bai." Bai Gui replied.
He is not used to others calling him master. Firstly, it sounds awkward, and secondly, he feels that he cannot be called a master yet. He still has many deficiencies in his research in this area.
It's just that the research on making cold weapons and superpowers better adaptable, so that superpower users can use them better, has just started not long ago.
He just walked ahead of everyone.
It was just a title. Yun You didn't hesitate. He immediately changed the title and nodded to him: "Professor Bai, I came today to ask you to help make a weapon."
"What kind of supernatural attribute does it tend to be?"
Originally, when he came to the station this time, he only planned for his students and team, and did not plan to do it himself. However, the weapons proposed by Boss Yun still made him a little curious.
"Ice power." Yun You replied.
"Ice power?" Bai Gui looked hesitant.
He was actually not sure about cold weapons with ice-type abilities. Compared with other attributes, cold weapons with ice-type tendencies were more difficult to make. First of all, the materials were a problem.
There are few materials compatible with the ice system, and the low temperature of the ice system is also a problem.
The dangers of low-temperature brittle fracture are no joke. At least so far, he does not have a satisfactory ice-type cold weapon. There are still some small mechanisms and disposable component weapons.
"If possible, I hope that this weapon is not so cold for the user. Or if it can warm the user's body, that would be great." Yun You seriously did not add a condition.
After hearing this, Bai Gui said: "..."
This is the first time I heard this strange request. Ice-type cold weapons are not ice-cold but give people a warm feeling. Isn't this contradictory?
"Sorry, Boss Yun..." After hearing Yun You's description, Bai Gui calmly rejected Yun You's request, "This is beyond the scope of what I can do."
Sure enough?
Yun You thought in her heart, but she was not too disappointed. She still had the scroll, so she was not completely hopeless.
"Then we don't need those conditions, just a cold weapon with an ice element tendency." Yun You retreated and settled for the next best thing.
"Boss Yun, cold weapons with ice-type tendencies are not easy to make, and the success rate is low. Why do you want ice-type weapons? As far as I know, Boss Yun, you should have mental powers?"
Bai Gui's cold voice calmly analyzed the facts for Yun You, and asked with some doubts.
"It's not that I need it myself, I just want to help my friend make a handy weapon." Yun You replied, "He has ice powers."
"I see. However, the success rate of ice-type tendencies is the lowest among all tendencies. I am not 100% sure." Bai Gui replied.
Yun You frowned.
She had learned before she came that Bai Gui's production level was among the highest in this apocalyptic world. Of course, these were the only people who could combine supernatural powers with cold weapons.
Even if the forging techniques of this kind of cold weapons are inferior to ordinary weapons, or the weapons themselves are inferior to ordinary weapons, they are still stronger than ordinary weapons in the hands of superpowers.
Being able to combine superpowers with weapons more smoothly is equivalent to a weapon being used as a device that can receive, store, and release superpowers during combat.
This type of cold weapon with superpower tendencies can also be immune to the effects of metal superpowers to a certain extent.
This type of special weapon can be understood as having an alternative enchantability.
However, there is a rather special power here, the metal power. Common metals with this kind of power have quite powerful effects, and the ability to control metals is very popular in the apocalypse.
Since Bai Gui is not sure about the tendency of the ice system, let alone others.
"What's the approximate success rate?" Yun You asked.
"This depends on the material. Different materials have different properties. However, as far as I have encountered so far, the highest success rate is no more than 10%." Bai Gui replied.
Due to Boss Yun's identity, he temporarily ignored the issue of production price.
"Cold weapons can actually be made using the scales of special animals. This is a topic we have been researching recently, but there is still a certain gap compared with metals." Bai Gui added.
"Although there are strange beasts whose scales are comparable to those of metal, the difficulty of obtaining such materials must be hellish."
Although he knew that Boss Yun was very strong, he still did not recommend Yun You to look for such materials.
Speaking of scales, Yun You immediately thought of the jade-smooth scales that had fallen off Han Qichuan's body in his own system space.
It was just a thought, but Yunyou quickly put it behind her. She made this weapon to give to him as a birthday gift, as an employee benefit.
There is no need to use the things he had on him, process them and then give them to him again.
"What if the material is ice and iron?"
When Bingtie bought this thing from Hanyue Village, Yunyou wanted to make it into a weapon.
"The probability is...huh? Ice iron!"
After talking to Yun You for so long, Bai Gui, who had always had an indifferent and calm expression, showed a hint of surprise and excitement in his expression.
It is true that he has never used ice iron. According to his understanding of the performance of ice iron, ice iron is resistant to extreme cold and seems to be very suitable.
However, he remembered that the ice and iron came out of the crater. People had no way to smelt or destroy it, so it was just a piece of "scrap iron", and it was quite useless.
After only being excited for a moment, Bai Gui calmed down completely.
The possibility of ice and iron is zero.
"Boss Yun took the picture from the Hanyue Village gathering before. It's just a piece of waste stone that can't be smelted, at least according to the temperature that people can reach now." Bai Gui shook his head and sighed regretfully.
Even those with metal powers who can control the power of metal can also control ice and iron, but they cannot melt ice and iron.
This piece of ice is a task given by the system. Logically speaking, the system should have a way to handle it.
"What if I have a way to smelt ice iron?" Yun You said. Although she has no way now, it does not prevent her from making assumptions first.
Bai Gui's eyes lit up: "What?!"
"Boss Yun has a way to smelt ice and iron?" Bai Gui was a little excited and found it difficult to maintain his calmness.
Yun You:......
"Not now, but I probably have some ideas and will verify them later." Yun You said.
Bai Gui: "..."
He calmed down and felt that Boss Yun was not an unfounded person, so he believed her hypothesis for the time being.
"If Boss Yun has a way to smelt ice and iron, there is a 90% chance of success unless there are special circumstances."
