Despite the unorthodox methods, Mr. Wannabe's training sessions were much more effective in strengthening the soldiers than those of Wang Tong. Meanwhile, Wang Tong had spent most of his time in the workshop, tinkering the crystal gun he had brought back and trying to find a way to mass produce these guns. Wang Tong wished to equip the weaker soldiers —Guan Dongyang had to call them the reserves— with crystal guns, so that they would have a chance on the battlefield.
Wang Tong had tried, but they lacked soul energy to catch up with the pace of the class. Therefore, he was convinced that the only way for the reserves to fight was using the crystal energy guns. Although its power would fall short when used against the dark ones, these guns should be able to handle primitive Zergs with ease.
After working on the original gun for a while, he realized a fatal flaw in the Kaedeian design: it was too sophisticated.
