Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chen Mao indeed, with his travels, had acquired the strength comparable to a ninth-level expert.
Whether it was armor mastery or forging.
During his travels, he met a woman from a small-town family.
He fell in love at first sight.
Without any obstacles, the woman’s family clan sent her off to follow Chen Mao to the big city.
Chen Mao once again entered the workshop, responsible for forging level seven battle armors.
“That millennium was the happiest time of my life.”
Chen Mao’s eyes were filled with nostalgia as he spoke softly.
In a thousand years, Chen Mao had his own child and family clan.
In the big city, someone like him, a double ninth-level expert, was considered a strong individual, a master sought after by many.
“But who could have thought that a thousand years later, in the Battle for the City, the city where I resided would be defeated, and all of us in the workshop would be captured as prisoners of war.
“Even though I am a second-level patented forger.”
Hatred flashed across Chen Mao’s face as he gritted his teeth.
The Battle for the City.
It was only after becoming the chief that Han Muye learned of such a major battle.
Between the vast cities of the void, there was constant conflict for sufficient resources.
The losing side would lose all their resources.
The cities in the void relied on this continuous absorption through conquests to continuously strengthen themselves.
As for the cities that vanished, so be it.
There were plenty of such cities in the Galaxy Universe.
“Although such customs are cruel, they help in the growth of the strong,” whispered the Golden Bird in Han Muye’s ear.
In the Primordial Chaos and the Immortal Realm, such brutal battles were everywhere.
Without strife, everywhere would be peaceful, but without ambition, one day it would all fade away and become food for external enemies.
Only by being prepared for danger in times of peace and constantly honing oneself could one truly become powerful.
Unfortunately, Chen Mao, not considered among the top-tier experts, became a victim of the Battle of the City.
Chen Mao fled with his family and was pursued all the way. In the end, Chen Dicer was the only one left.
Chen Die’er had also fallen into a deep slumber due to her severe injuries when she escaped from the pursuit.
Chen Mao was deeply saddened and transferred Chen Die’ er’s soul to the battle puppet he had crafted.
This battle puppet was the most precious treasure of his workshop’s owner.
In fact, Chen Mao’s family was being hunted because of this treasure.
“If someone like me reveals my ident.i.ty, I might attract the pursuit of the experts in the city.
“If Die’er’s ident.i.ty is revealed, it will also attract countless troubles.”
Looking at Han Muye in front of him, Chen Mao was calm.
“l wonder if you are willing to take us in.” Escapees from the Battle for the City.
User of the forbidden refining technique.
Bearer of precious treasures.
Each of these would bring trouble to Han Muye.
“l wonder why you chose me?” Han Muye’s gaze landed on Chen Mao and he asked softly.
Logically speaking, a person like Chen Mao should have chosen to continue hiding.
No matter where he was, he should not reveal his secrets.
“It’s Die’er.
“Die’er’s intuition.
“Her body has extraordinary intuition.”
Chen Mao looked at Han Muye and said softly, “She can feel that you can help her.’
After Chen Die’er’s soul fused with the mysterious Battle Puppet’s body, her soul power was depleting.
According to Chen Niao’s calculations, if there was still no way to stop this
loss, Chen Die’er would not live past a hundred years.
He wandered around the various cities to find a way to stop Chen Die’er’s soul from being consumed.
Chen Mao had obtained Chen Die’er’s permission to come to PaG.o.da City this time.
“Is there such a Battle Puppet?” There was curiosity in Chaos’ voice.
He was not the only one. The Golden Bird and the Five Elements Divine Furnace were also curious.
“Alright, Master Chen, you can stay in PaG.o.da City.
“But I’m interested in how you got the patent.”
Han Muye’s words stunned Chen Mao for a moment, then he laughed out loud.
“Chief Han, you think being a patented master is lucrative, right?”
Three days later, Zhang Zhaoyu of the Zhang family was defeated on the gambling stage in PaG.o.da City.
There was no suspense in this battle.
Among the level four experts in PaG.o.da City, no one knew if there was anyone who was a match for He Yangsun, a level four expert in Puppet and Armor Mastery.
Not only did He Yangsun receive the 100,000 source coins raised by Zhang Chaoyu, but others who bet on He Yangsun’s victory also won some.
Not much.
Apart from a small number of people who wanted to take a gamble, who else would bet on He Yangsun’s opponent to win?
“Young Master He, I want to work for the He family. I wonder what price you can offer?” Zhang Zhaoyu, who had lost in the fighting ring, looked at He Yangsun and said loudly.
Zhang Chaoyu was also considered a mainstay of the Zhang family, but he was not from the main line.
In the family clan, without the status of a direct descendant, you were just a handyman, doing dirty work.
Zhang Zhaoyu’s words made the faces of the Zhang family members turn ashen.
Others, however, looked curious.
What kind of important position could a level four expert get in the He family?
If the price offered was too low, there wouldn’t be any experts going there in the future.
If the price offered was too high, the He family might not be able to afford it.
He Yangsun smiled when he heard Zhang Zhaoyu’s words. He waved his hand
and a disciple of the He family handed him a long scroll.
He Yangsun unfolded the scroll. On it was a large character: ‘Recruitment’.
Below that were densely packed recruitment details.
Recruiting 8,000 craftsmen for the casting a.s.sembly line. Five origin coins per person per day. Young and strong individuals, regardless of gender.
Recruiting 3,000 level 1 and level 2 forging masters for the Forging Flowing
workshop. 50 origin coins per person per day..
