Chapter 39 The Circle of Geniuses Surrounding Huo Yuhao
"Hello, President Mu Chen."
Gu Yuena picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup for herself and Mu Chen, and said elegantly, "It seems you were mentally prepared to come here and talk to me today. So let's get straight to the point."
"Hmm, shouldn't we wait for the other person?"
Mu Chen was taken aback. This girl was quite assertive, like an old monster who had been in a high position for a long time. This kind of negotiating prowess was not something someone her age should have.
His original purpose was to negotiate with Gu Yuena and the others, so he did not feel offended. In his opinion, such geniuses are also very busy. The fact that they are willing to take the time to negotiate with him personally shows that they attach great importance to this.
His original plan was simply to meet Huo Yuhao and then take the opportunity to act as a go-between, helping his daughter build a good relationship with him. He never expected it to turn out this way.
"No need, he and I are one. I can make the decision for him in this matter, but there are other things to do. Hurry up, our schedule is tight, we only have one hour."
Gu Yuena glanced at the time on the call, tapped her jade-like fingers lightly on the table, exuding an air of confidence that she had everything under control.
"Wait, what are you talking about? What do you mean by 'making decisions'? Are you trying to do business with my father? Don't be ridiculous! Dad, what's going on? Why did you call me here? Just to see this absurd drama?"
Mu Xi was completely dumbfounded and, unable to accept it, slammed her hand on the table and stood up.
From the very beginning, she knew nothing, was kept in the dark, and was treated like a doll to be observed.
How old is this little girl? How can she be negotiating a deal with her father here? What exactly did her father do?
What kind of deal is this?
Why did they call me over here? She had countless questions in her mind and desperately wanted answers.
"This is my blacksmith's badge," Gu Yuena simply placed a badge on the table. The badge had a white background, and on it were five purple stars made of some unknown metal. Brilliant, elegant, and noble.
Five stars means master craftsman!
Grandmaster, that is, the Spirit Forging Realm!
Spirit Forging and Thousand Forging are qualitatively different, just like battle armor with only one word difference, yet their power is worlds apart.
Spirit forging elevates metal, allowing it to reach another level. Forgers who reach the level of spirit forging are in no way inferior to mecha makers or mecha designers of the same level. In fact, they are even rarer.
Spirit forging is the communication between soul power and metal, the fusion of one's own mind and the metal. It is the process of giving life to the metal.
Thousand forgings merely bring out the full potential of the metal itself, while spirit forging is a process that triggers a transformation in the metal! It truly transforms it from quantitative to qualitative change.
To complete a spirit forging, one must merge one's mind and body into one, truly immersing oneself in the world of metal. At the moment of its completion, bring it to life.
Spirit forging is the creation of life.
It can be said that blacksmiths at this level are already able to support themselves by forging.
Mu Xi stared at Gu Yuena in disbelief. A nine-year-old master craftsman? How did she manage that? The youngest level 5 blacksmith ever recorded was fifteen years old.
Even if this child was cultivated from the womb, it couldn't be this outrageous, right? Mu Xi felt her Dao heart shattered. This badge couldn't be faked. All the certification badges for various professions had anti-counterfeiting certificates. As the daughter of the guild leader, she knew this all too well.
"Sigh, Xixi, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Gu Yuena is indeed a genius unlike any other. I brought you here today so you could get to know her."
Mu Chen's plans were disrupted, but he could only grit his teeth and continue. Helplessly, he told his daughter how cruel the world was, and that this was what it meant to be a prodigy.
Mu Xi remained silent and obediently sat back down. Gu Yuena was actually a Grandmaster? Then what was she, a Level 2 Blacksmith? Thinking about how she had previously wanted to cause trouble for a kid named Tang Wulin, Mu Xi found it all laughable. Having seen mountains, Tang Wulin was like a hill.
"Level 2 at nine years old? I'm a useless piece of trash." Recognizing this reality, Mu Xi felt much better.
"Wait—you just said there was another person? He's also a five-star master craftsman? And the same age as her?" Mu Xi thought of something, and her gaze towards her father was filled with horror as she looked at him for confirmation.
"Yes, his name is Huo Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao? Mu Xi did have a vague impression of him. She learned by chance from a conversation with her best friend that their elders were buying spirit-forged metal from a master named Huo Yuhao to upgrade their battle armor and mecha.
She thought it was one of the older masters in the association.
"Without further ado, you two geniuses, your ultimate goal is nothing more than to become master craftsmen, isn't it? As a blacksmith, I hope that blacksmithing can become more and more glorious and explore a deeper world. But as a person, I also have personal interests and personal pursuits."
With his original plans disrupted, Mu Chen had no choice but to follow Gu Yuena's lead, secretly thinking: This young man is meticulous and will surely rise to a high position in the future!
"Since this is a transaction, we naturally won't let you lose out. We hope to connect with Master Craftsman Zhenhua through you. What do you want in return?"
Gu Yuena nodded slightly. A transaction is a game of strategy, and it depends on who gives in first. She has the patience and confidence, but what about Mu Chen?
They couldn't sit still any longer and came to find Sikong Hong. It can be said that the outcome of this game was already decided, it was just a matter of redistributing the benefits.
"You know, there can only be one master craftsman in a single era. When another master craftsman appears, the master craftsman of the old era can no longer perform Heavenly Forging. Therefore, I hope that one of you can become my disciple..."
Mu Chen made an outrageous demand. Negotiations must start with a large offer to allow for more room for negotiation and ultimately bring the final deal closer to his bottom line.
"Oh?" Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow, a mocking smile curving her lips. She murmured, as if seriously considering something, "You're dreaming, President Mu Chen. If we can't become apprentices of the Divine Craftsmen, there are plenty of Saint Craftsmen in the Spirit Transmission Tower who can teach us."
A pair of foxes, one big and one small, began their game.
…………
"Oh, Xiao Si, how's things going on your end? Is Yuhao alright?"
At the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda, Han Tianyi, who had been given great power by Lady Lingbing, was very busy. He was now like an imperial censor, busy with all sorts of things, and had little time to pay attention to his two disciples.
I can only entrust it to the sensible Xiao Si for now, and then ask about the recent situation whenever I have time.
"Don't worry, Elder Han, Yuhao and the others are doing very well. By the way, you don't know yet..."
On the other end of the communication, Sikong Hong recounted in detail what he had seen Huo Yuhao's performance in the Hall of Heroes, especially emphasizing his self-created combat techniques.
"Yuhao figured out this combat technique on his own?"
Han Tianyi was no less shocked than Sikong Hong. It's not that there are no geniuses who have figured out their own combat skills before becoming Title Douluo, but those are either Soul Kings or their combat skills are flashy but impractical, or they are just combinations of Soul Skills.
Huo Yuhao's fist technique is different; it's comparable to the Unyielding Staff Technique!
It seems I underestimated him...
However, this means that some things need to be prepared more quickly.
He has already planned to build a circle of geniuses around Huo Yuhao. He wants to cultivate his own team from a small place! This can also be used to win over some unstable individuals.
To build momentum for Huo Yuhao's future!
