Zhang Qihui's Spirit Soldier, almost no one used to bother making them, and now even fewer bother.
After exhausting effort to create a Spirit Soldier, awaken its spirit, a huge amount of resources gets consumed, yet success rates are low.
The key issue is, even if it's created, it could easily be gunned down by an ordinary person wielding a machine gun.
Why bother with all that effort?
Only someone as unorthodox as Zhang Qihui, a respectable member of the Zhang Family, could have the resources, ability, and guts to pull it off.
He invested in the toy industry, coincidentally meeting expanding demand, allowing continuous recovery and research, creating a positive cycle, so he can keep going.
Even so, Zhang Qihui has only eight White Bone Dao Soldiers in his possession.
No one else can keep up the game.
Nowadays, these things are niche within niches, not even used as cannon fodder.
Need to scout? Why not use drones? Need explosions? Send drones.
