Chapter 299 Ye Fox Forced to Work
When Ye Nanxiao saw this technologically advanced city again, he felt a sense of unreality.
As skyscrapers rise one after another, it feels as if you are in a city on Earth.
"Perhaps, in a few more years, this continent will become as prosperous as Earth," Yi Nian remarked, stepping into Mingdu.
After strolling around the snack street, Ye Nanxiao, carrying a large bucket of snacks, swaggered into the core building of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, the Aodu Building.
Li Yuanren was leisurely lying on his specially made large boss chair, teasing a small bird-like spirit beast with his left hand, and whistling a single syllable.
Wang Yu, the male secretary, stood respectfully at the door.
"Slow down, little sister!"
A girl's sweet shout came from the doorway, followed by two urgent knocks.
Quickly identifying the owner of the voice, Wang Yu looked at Li Yuanren and said, "The three goddesses of judgment have arrived."
Li Yuanren nodded without changing his posture.
After receiving a signal from Li Yuanren, Wang Yu stepped forward and opened the door.
Qiu Ye, with her hair in pigtails, trotted in, followed by Qiu Wu and Qiu Tong.
"President! Why hasn't the boss come to the Chamber of Commerce lately?" Qiuye asked anxiously.
Upon hearing Qiu Ye's question, Li Yuanren suddenly remembered that his boss, Ye Nanxiao, hadn't visited the Aodu Chamber of Commerce for a long time.
"Could it be that they've received another big mission?" Li Yuanren muttered to himself.
If Ye Nanxiao receives a mission and runs off on a long trip, we'll lose our backbone.
"President!!" When Qiuye saw that Li Yuanren was ignoring her, she jumped onto Li Yuanren's desk.
Aside from Ye Nanxiao and her two older sisters, she doesn't give face to anyone else.
Startled by Qiu Ye's sudden action, Li Yuanren quickly put down his precious bird. "Oh my goodness! I have no idea what the boss has been up to lately!"
"Qiuye, come down quickly!" Qiuwu walked forward and picked up Qiuye.
"But sister, I miss the boss," Qiuye said, pouting.
Upon seeing that this troublemaker had been captured, Li Yuanren immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"The boss should have a set time for leaving messages. Has the president received them?" Qiu Tong asked.
Li Yuanren recalled that he had indeed received a message from his boss, and nodded, saying, "The boss said he was going on a trip for a few days and would also like to meet up with a talkative old friend."
"Did the boss say when he'll be back?" Qiuye asked.
"Looks like Xiao Qiuye misses me quite a bit." Xiaoye No. 3 walked into the room with "Mu Shiyi" on her face.
"Boss!" Qiu Ye struggled out of Qiu Wu's arms and rushed into Xiao Ye No. 3's arms.
"Huh? Why is the boss a bit hard this time?" Qiuye touched his forehead in confusion, wondering if he had bumped into something hard.
"Because I am a block of ice," Little Ye No. 3 thought to himself.
The thick-skinned Qiu Ye quickly forgot why she had bumped into something hard. She jumped down from Xiao Ye No. 3's arms, puffed out her chest, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Qiu Ye is now at the peak of Soul Venerable! Isn't Qiu Ye amazing?!"
Xiao Ye No. 3 looked slightly surprised and turned to look at Qiu Wu and Qiu Tong. Both of them nodded to Ye Nanxiao and then released their soul ring cultivation.
"My goodness, so this is the best potential to develop the Dragon Girl!" Li Yuanren said, clutching his chest.
How long has it been since they bought the Dragon Girl, and she's already at the Soul Master level?
Does that mean the Aodu Chamber of Commerce will have three more Title Douluo-level Guardians within the next ten years? And they're Title Douluos with dragon-type martial souls!
Thinking of this, Li Yuanren's expression immediately turned serious. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Boss, what strategic tasks do you have recently? I, Li, will do my utmost to complete them!"
Xiao Ye No. 3 glanced at Li Yuanren, seeing how quickly the three dragon girls were cultivating, he figured this guy was probably planning to try and pick up the scraps again.
"Yes, isn't there another target location on the Xishui Alliance's side? Think of a way to seize that land," Xiao Ye No. 3 said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanren's face immediately fell. "Boss, our assassin guild hasn't returned yet. It's not wise for us to waste our own resources fighting against the Xishui Alliance!"
"No need to wait for those assassins to come back; they probably won't be returning," Xiao Ye No. 3 said, recalling previous intelligence.
"Alright then." Li Yuanren nodded, sensing something unspoken in Ye Nanxiao's words.
Xiao Ye No. 3 walked out of the room and waved to the three Qiu Wu sisters, "Let me see your recent cultivation results."
"Okay!" Qiu Ye ran up and took Ye Nanxiao's hand, with Qiu Wu and Qiu Tong following closely behind.
Li Yuanren and Wang Yu were left in the room.
"Check if any assassin guilds have returned recently. If not, eliminate them all," Li Yuanren said.
"Yes," Wang Yu nodded in agreement.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Mingde Hall Experimental Area.
"Hey kid, put some effort into it! The core array sequence of this mechanical leg isn't finished yet!" Xuan Ziwen shouted from a high platform.
Ye Nanxiao crawled out from under a thick mechanical leg, looking indignant, and said, "I'm right here! What the hell are you yelling at, you little devil, at Leg Number Four?!"
Hearing Ye Nanxiao's voice, Xuan Ziwen turned in Ye Nanxiao's direction and shouted again, "Hey kid, put some effort into it!"
"Damn it! Get down here! Why should I be the only one doing the work!" Ye Nanxiao grabbed a piece of scrap paper next to him, crumpled it up, and threw it at Xuan Ziwen.
Xuan Ziwen easily shook his head to dodge, holding a large megaphone in his hand, "Can you be a little quicker! At this rate, there won't be any food left in the cafeteria at lunchtime!"
Ye Nanxiao cursed and threw down the wrench in his hand, looking up at the big machine he was currently working on.
Its appearance resembled a large spider, with six thick, long legs gleaming with a chilling light. The cockpit, large enough to accommodate several people, made Ye Nanxiao wonder if a bed could be placed inside.
"Where's Yuhao! Where's Ju Xiaohan! Where's Keke! Why are there only the two of us here! And why is only the young master doing the work!" Ye Nanxiao said, grinning.
He had barely stepped into the gates of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy when Xuan Ziwen, who was squatting at the entrance, dragged him into this laboratory.
Even the snack bucket in his arms wasn't touched; it was all taken by the two guards at the door!
The worst thing is when all the snacks you're holding are taken away before you even get a chance to eat them.
"Yuhao went to Mingde Hall; he passed the assessment. Ju Zi is still asleep. Ke Ke has a mission today to help out at another lab. We haven't heard from the remaining two for a long time; the initial estimate is that they've died from overexertion in their seclusion!"
"I've been waiting for you for a whole week! Your leave has exceeded the time stated on your leave slip! Go back to work!" Xuan Ziwen said righteously.
"But I remember this thing was one of your experimental projects, right? It was a confidential research project of Mingde Hall." Ye Nanxiao reached out and patted the big thing next to him.
"We're short-staffed. Those lazybones at Mingdetang refuse to work overtime on such an important project, so I'll have to find people myself," Xuan Ziwen said dismissively.
"So, I'm your free temporary worker?" Ye Nanxiao said, staring with dead fish eyes.
Xuan Ziwen nodded and brought the megaphone to his mouth. "Hurry up, break time is over! Try to finish installing the core magic array sequence for both mechanical legs today!"
The snarling fox, Ye, was forced to start operating under the threat of being exempted from a month's worth of assignments by Xuan Ziwen.
Ye Nanxiao transferred the entire core magic array sequence plate prepared by Xuan Ziwen into the mechanical leg. Holding onto the mechanical leg, he hung on it like a monkey and tightened the screws.
Xuan Ziwen stepped into the cockpit of the all-terrain soul-guided detector, looked at the data parameters on the display screen, and reached out to grasp the control stick.
Ye Nanxiao, who was tightening screws outside, suddenly felt as if he were rising.
"Damn it, Lao Xuan, what are you doing! I'm still installing it!" Ye Nanxiao cursed.
Xuan Ziwen manipulated the metal leg with Ye Nanxiao attached, raising it to the front of the cockpit and looking at Ye Nanxiao through the glass.
"Hmm, it seems the movements are very smooth, without a trace of stiffness." Xuan Ziwen ignored Ye Nanxiao's scolding and took out a small notebook to record the experiment log.
Seeing that Xuan Ziwen had entered a research maniac state, Ye Nanxiao rolled his eyes at Xuan Ziwen and slid down the mechanical leg.
After walking a few steps away, Ye Nanxiao examined the all-terrain detection soul guide device.
"This thing is the first large-scale soul tool to be completed in history, it's like a mecha." Ye Nanxiao stretched out his hand and drew a few circles in the air.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Xuan Ziwen stepped out of the cockpit.
"If you have any, please let me know quickly, otherwise I will have to continue testing."
Listening to Xuan Ziwen's hurried tone, Ye Nanxiao wondered if Xuan Ziwen could have mass-produced such a large device as the all-terrain detection soul guide device by himself if it weren't for the limited manpower.
"Look how big this thing is, isn't it a waste to only use it for reconnaissance? Why not add more functions? For example, install two soul-guided cannons in the cockpit, or install soul-guided ray emitters on the mechanical legs. With weapons, it will be a qualified mech," Ye Nanxiao suggested.
The difference between an all-terrain detection soul guide and an all-terrain self-propelled turret is essentially whether or not it is equipped with weapons.
"My original intention for using soul tools was to make things easier for the public! You should know that!" Xuan Ziwen frowned as he looked at Ye Nanxiao, clearly dissatisfied with Ye Nanxiao's suggestion.
"Old Xuan, your ideal is beautiful, but reality is harsh. Given the current situation on the mainland, various small frictions are constantly evolving into large-scale conflicts. Every country is making every effort to develop soul tools with powerful destructive capabilities. Only a fist big enough can fulfill your dream," Ye Nanxiao said calmly.
Xuan Ziwen didn't speak, but silently continued to record his experimental log in his notebook.
He did not deny Ye Nanxiao's words. As a researcher at Mingde Hall, he was well aware of the current research direction of the Empire's soul tools and its war reserves.
