Chapter 106: Making a Sheath
Chapter 106: Making a Sheath
Zhou Yu decided to act right away. He took a piece of Wind Eagle Meat from the refrigerator, then carefully made a cut with the Green Radiance Flying Sword. It was incredibly fast, like a flash of lightning.
He didn’t feel anything at all, and a small piece of Wind Eagle Meat was sliced off. If it were an ordinary kitchen knife, he would have needed to saw back and forth a few times to cut it in two.
A wide smile spread across Zhou Yu’s face. Cutting Wind Eagle Meat would be much easier from now on. Although there wasn’t much meat left in the fridge, that didn’t mean he couldn’t get more from the Immortal World later.
Just then, as if they smelled the Wind Eagle Meat, Huzi, Dabao, and Xiaobao trotted up to the door. They barked once, then looked at him with big, pleading eyes.
“You just finished eating Wind Eagle Meat not long ago, and you already want more?” Hearing the barks, Zhou Yu glanced at the door. Seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Seeing the group still looking at him with eager anticipation, he shook his head. “Well, since I’ve already taken this piece of meat out, I can’t exactly put it back. Come on, let’s go have a barbecue.” Now that there were no more Spirit Beast Pills, all these guys could eat was Wind Eagle Meat.
Then, he took out another piece from the refrigerator. He went to the kitchen and began gently cutting it with the Green Radiance Flying Sword. With this Flying Sword, cutting meat became incredibly easy. Small pieces of meat were sliced off and skewered onto bamboo sticks.
If Song Qingxiu saw this, he would be so angry he might go insane. The Lifebound Flying Sword he treasured, Green Radiance, forged with many precious materials using all his savings, was actually being used to cut meat by someone.
Zhou Yu, however, felt no remorse whatsoever as he used the Green Radiance Flying Sword to cut the meat. For now, the sword’s greatest use was just cutting meat. He couldn’t exactly go pick a fight with someone using this Flying Sword.
Given the sword’s sharpness, merely brushing it against any part of the body would probably cut it clean through.
He thought that if he consumed all the Bone Blood Pills he obtained from the Immortal World, his body’s strength might improve enough to resist, to some extent, the sharpness of this sword.
Animals like Huzi, Dabao, and Xiaobao seemed somewhat afraid to get too close when they saw this Flying Sword. It was as if they could sense its extraordinary nature.
After finishing the Wind Eagle Meat, it was almost time for surfing. Zhou Yu let Huzi rest at home and took Dabao and Xiaobao to the Beach.
As soon as he arrived at Li Guomin’s Guomin Food Stall, Wang Fugui rushed over excitedly, peering at the electric scooter. “Brother Universe, where’s Huzi? Where is he? Why isn’t he here?” It wasn’t just Wang Fugui; some tourists nearby also gathered around.
“Gouwa, why are you in such a hurry? Huzi went to shoot an advertisement this morning. He’s resting today.” Seeing Wang Fugui acting as if his pants were on fire, Zhou Yu said with slight annoyance.
“Haha, Brother Universe, stop pretending. I didn’t know originally, but the tourists here surrounded me, asking about Huzi. When I asked, I found out. Huzi’s amazing performance while surfing in Jing City today was caught on video! Some guy tried to steal his wave, but Huzi still managed to overtake him successfully. In the end, that guy got knocked over by the wave. It was so satisfying! Here, take a look.”
Wang Fugui laughed heartily, then took out his Mobile Phone, opened Weibo, and played a video.
Zhou Yu watched the video and couldn’t help but smile. It was indeed footage of Huzi surfing today. He didn’t expect someone had filmed it and uploaded it online so quickly.
The video showed the entire process from when Huzi started surfing to when he made the overtake. However, the footage was shaky, very blurry, and had a lot of background noise, but you could still make out Huzi’s impressive surfing.
When Lu Yiming stole his wave, Huzi didn’t give up. He charged forward, cut through the rolling wave, and directly overtook him. While watching it live, Zhou Yu had only been concerned about Huzi’s safety. Now, watching it on video, his feelings were much stronger. Each scene was truly astonishing.
Especially the moment when Huzi successfully overtook the other surfer, it made you want to cheer out loud.
“That guy actually dared to steal Huzi’s wave. He simply didn’t know what was good for him. I heard that guy got slammed into the water by the wave, and Huzi jumped right off his Surfboard to save him. If it were me, I would never go over there, no matter what. It was so dangerous.”
While Zhou Yu was watching the video, Wang Fugui complained bitterly beside him.
“It’s not just Huzi. If it were really you, you might have gone to save him too.” Zhou Yu gently shook his head. Unless they were sworn enemies, most people wouldn’t just stand by and watch Lu Yiming die in a situation like that.
Afterward, he took Dabao and Xiaobao and walked to the front of the Guomin Food Stall. Instantly, they were surrounded by the tourists nearby.
“Hey buddy, where’s the Divine Dog? We all saw that video today. It was amazing!”
“Yeah, man, why didn’t Huzi come today? I rushed over as soon as I saw the video, just hoping to catch a glimpse of Huzi.”
“Big brother, when will that ad film you shot be released? I can’t wait to see it.”
Everyone asked questions one after another. The video of Huzi surfing in Jing City today had also been shared by some well-known bloggers. That’s how they found out so quickly. The scenes of him surfing were truly shocking, just like something out of a big movie.
Seeing the excited expressions of the people around him, Zhou Yu felt deeply moved. This surfing trip to Jing City had truly made Huzi a stunning Divine Dog. “Everyone, the Divine Dog went to shoot an advertisement today, so he’s taking a rest. He’ll be back performing surfing for you all tomorrow. As for the release of the ad film, it still needs some time for production. Please disperse for now. In a little while, the two Divine Dogs, Dabao and Xiaobao, will perform surfing for everyone.”
“That’s right, let’s all disperse. I watched Dabao and Xiaobao surf here yesterday. They were total goofballs. I almost died laughing.” After hearing Zhou Yu’s words, the crowd gradually scattered.
Li Guomin, watching from the side, also felt a flood of emotions. When Zhou Yu first returned to his hometown from the big city, he had worried whether the young man could adapt to the hometown environment. Now it seemed he was doing exceptionally well, far better than they were.
Village Chief Yao, who had gotten the news and was watching from not too far away, had a face full of contentment. He had been taking a casual stroll nearby earlier and saw so many tourists gathered. He thought something had happened. After asking around, he found out it was good news.
Huzi had become famous again. Before, he had tried various methods but couldn’t increase the tourist numbers in Taoyuan Village. Now, it was being accomplished through Zhou Yu and his dogs.
During the following surfing session, Dabao and Xiaobao continued to surf while playfully attacking each other, making the whole event full of fun.
That night, back at home, Zhou Yu took out the Green Radiance Flying Sword. He felt he needed to make a sheath for this sword. After all, he couldn’t just carry it around and swing it freely. Given the sword’s sharpness, that would be very dangerous.
He used a ruler to measure the dimensions of various parts of the sword. Then, he opened his laptop and started drawing a diagram. Anyone who took one look at the Green Radiance Flying Sword would recognize its uniqueness. Therefore, he couldn’t just take the sword to someone else to have a sheath made.
After finishing the drawing, Zhou Yu sent the image to someone who specialized in making cosplay props. Back in university, he and some gaming-enthusiast roommates had bought some props too. After sending it, he specified that the sheath should be made from the best cowhide material and must strictly follow the provided dimensions.
The sheath’s dimensions were slightly larger than those of the Green Radiance Flying Sword. This ensured that when the sword was placed inside, the blade wouldn’t touch any part of the sheath. Otherwise, given the sword’s sharpness, not just cowhide, but even crocodile skin would be sliced through instantly.
The prop maker looked at the dimensions and Zhou Yu’s requirements and gave a rough initial quote. Given the sheath’s size, it wouldn’t require much leather, so the price wasn’t too high. Zhou Yu agreed immediately, asking the maker to work quickly while ensuring quality.
After completing all this, a smile appeared on Zhou Yu’s face. With this sheath, he could safely carry the Green Radiance Flying Sword with him.
The only pity was that the half-body Wind Roc meat obtained from Song Qingxiu in the Immortal World had already been skinned and plucked beforehand, feathers and all. Otherwise, making a sheath from Wind Roc skin would have been absolutely perfect.
