"Boss!! Tell me quickly! Have you chosen me to lead this project?!" An old man with a weathered face but still thick black hair shook Ye Nanxiao's collar vigorously.
After the old man finished speaking, the other old men glared at him angrily.
"Bah! You old fool! You good-for-nothing who only knows how to drink tea all day! You dare to compete with me?"
"Get out of my way, all of you! I'm determined to win this project!"
A group of old men shoved each other, while Ye Nanxiao drifted along like a piece of duckweed on the vast ocean.
Even with his physique enhanced through three transformations, he was no match for these utterly insane old men.
Completely insane~
"No! Old men, calm down! It's just a project!" Ye Nanxiao shouted, trying to break through the crowd of old men.
Upon hearing this, all the old men who were arguing heatedly immediately stopped and turned to look at Ye Nanxiao in unison.
Suddenly being stared at by six pairs of eyes, Ye Nanxiao didn't understand what was going on, so he raised his left hand and greeted them.
"Stop arguing?"
"Boss, do you even know anything?!"
"This is a soul tool that will change the course of history!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand! Just listen to me, and make sure I'm the project supervisor first!"
"Pah, you shameless old bastard!"
Ye Nanxiao couldn't break free and had given up resisting, letting the old men finish arguing first.
Feng Shiyi leisurely took out the recording soul tool "Sphere No. 1" and recorded the scene in front of her.
"Can't you wait a bit before using this thing?" Ye Nanxiao said, speechless.
"Of course not! You don't look this disheveled every day!" Feng Shiyi said matter-of-factly.
It's a rare sight to see so many level-nine soul masters arguing over a single soul tool.
Although these level nine soul masters all stayed with the Aodu Chamber of Commerce under employment contracts, Ye Nanxiao had said that when developing new soul tools, he would announce the names of the soul masters involved in the research.
If a revealed soul tool becomes famous, then the soul tool master will also be able to leave their name in the history book of soul tools.
This was a fatal temptation for these old scholars.
So far, the only Soul Masters who have made their mark on the history of Soul Tools are the three Soul Masters known throughout the Sun Moon Empire: Kong Deming, the father of Soul Tools; Ye Yulin, the inventor of high-altitude Soul Tools and Starry Sky Douluo; and Jing Hongchen, the founder of the renowned Mingde Hall.
Although Jing Hongchen's cultivation level is not even comparable to the lowest-ranking enshrined in the Hall of Offerings, his reputation is so high that a large number of soul tool talents choose to join the Mingde Hall every year.
Ye Nanxiao struggled a few times before finally breaking free from the encirclement of the crazed old men.
He underestimated the allure of leaving a mark on history for this group of people.
Six old men turned the laboratory into a vegetable market.
It seemed that cultivation was useless at this moment; only the loudest voice was the victor.
To prevent the group of old men from having a stroke, Ye Nanxiao quickly activated the device and shut down the research pillar containing the semi-finished battle armor.
This action caused the six old men to turn around and stare at Ye Nanxiao in unison.
"Alright, everyone be quiet!" Ye Nanxiao put on a stern face, trying to adopt the demeanor of a big boss.
The six old men exchanged glances, then sat cross-legged on the spot, closing their eyes to rest, showing a tendency to protest indefinitely if the other man didn't agree.
"These old guys!" Ye Nanxiao was both annoyed and helpless.
What's infuriating is that their boss is completely overbearing, but what's frustrating is that these veteran employees are incredibly enthusiastic.
They were both level nine soul masters, and neither of them would yield to the other.
After thinking for a while, Ye Nanxiao remembered the main purpose of his trip: "Could an older brother tell me what the current research progress of the battle armor is?"
The six old men opened their eyes at the same time and each took out a recording board.
"We all have our own summary reports. Boss, whose do you want to see?" *6
Ye Nanxiao took the record sheets one by one and handed them to Feng Shiyi, who was watching the excitement from the side.
"Secretary, please organize this and report to me later." Ye Nanxiao coughed twice and quickly walked to the main control panel to avoid the murderous gaze of Feng Shiyi behind him.
Feng Shiyi glared at Ye Nanxiao, then quickly flipped through the pages.
All six old men recognized Feng Shiyi and knew that she was one of the most powerful people around Ye Nanxiao. They all stepped forward and began to give their reports.
Fifteen minutes later, Feng Shi felt a buzzing in her ears. She shoved her summary report into Ye Nanxiao's hands and said irritably, "I'm in charge of combat and counter-espionage, not your clerical secretary! Go hire another one for me!"
"It's not that easy to find someone right now. The situation is tense between countries. Maybe the person you're interested in is also being eyed by the Empire," Ye Nanxiao said with a shrug.
Genius Soul Masters or Soul Instructors who have displayed their talents will be noticed by the Imperial Academy.
"Then I'll push my sister up! She'll be fifteen now!" Feng Shiyi pushed out her younger sister.
"Hey! That's what I've been waiting for!" Ye Nanxiao laughed, looking down at the research progress data on the battle armor.
"Hmm, the engraving progress is extremely slow due to the influence of the metal material experiments."
Ye Nanxiao was somewhat worried. Strategic-grade rare metals were very difficult to obtain these days. Even the Aodu Chamber of Commerce had difficulty acquiring them, not to mention that the Battle Armor research project consumed a great deal of rare metals.
"How about I rob a powerful family?" Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin, pondering.
His previous research focused on either armor or individual pieces of armor.
Just like the leg armor for Jiang Nannan and the breastplate and arm armor for Ma Xiaotao, the battle armor requires connecting all the metal parts of the body with the core magic array of the whole body, and driving the core magic array of the battle armor. At the same time, the metal materials that can withstand the flow of the entire core magic array need to be fused and forged. The solutions to many of the problems are still unknown areas that are being explored.
Even though Ye Nanxiao carved it himself, he only managed to figure out about 30% of the core array. The price was the consumption of a large amount of rare metals. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so eager to fleece Qian Duoduo.
As for Shrek Academy, Ye Nanxiao estimated that they probably hadn't done as much research as he had.
After all, the concept of Battle Armor was proposed by himself, and it was a completely new concept for Soul Masters of this era.
It's like if you're used to using muskets and rifles, and suddenly you're given a blueprint for a full-coverage automatic armor. Even with the blueprint, it would be very difficult to build it.
"Robbing a powerful family? Boss, what kind of elixir or immortality potion did you get?" Feng Shiyi couldn't help but reach out and touch Ye Nanxiao's forehead to test his temperature.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Is this something you can say? Did you just become a Title Douluo? Or did you drink fake alcohol for lunch today?"
The reason why powerful and influential families were called a scourge of dynasties by emperors throughout history was because these families had lived for too long and accumulated too much wealth.
In terms of combat strength, each aristocratic family has powerful retainers and strong protectors.
The Soul Saint is merely a beginner-level guardian among these aristocratic families.
"I have a clever plan, fox!" Ye Nanxiao smiled mysteriously, and a mask appeared in his hand.
The Wen family mansion.
The tranquil night sky was illuminated by decorative lights throughout the Wen family mansion, and countless servants moved about in the corridors.
In the main house at the center, dozens of people dressed in expensive fine clothes were walking around.
The Wen family is now one of Xu Tianran's most loyal subordinates, and their status has naturally risen, making many powerful forces in Mingdu want to curry favor with them.
Ye Nanxiao looked at the extravagantly decorated gate, took out a golden invitation from his pocket, and handed it to a gatekeeper standing in front of the gate.
The gatekeeper then obediently stepped aside, along with the two level-seven soul masters standing behind him.
Following the lead servant, Ye Nanxiao navigated through numerous winding corridors and finally passed through the inspection of an eighth-level Soul Master before entering the outer hall of the Wen family banquet.
"It's more like a small mountain villa than a mansion. The winding roads are truly enviable. If you're so rich, can't you just install a direct elevator?"
Ye Nanxiao, who was climbing the stairs to the inner hall, let out a complaint.
To see just how powerful the Wen family is now, one only needs to look at the current scale of their buildings, which have completely occupied the last inch of land stipulated by the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
"Mr. Xiao Nanye, this way please." A beautiful and graceful maid stepped forward to lead the way for Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao casually took out a small wine pot, pretending to drink as he walked, following behind the maid, playing the role of an ill-mannered street urchin.
Wen Chong, who was chatting with a group of court officials, was suddenly informed by a trusted confidant.
"Xiao Nanye? That mysterious powerhouse who made a big splash earlier?" Wen Chong exclaimed in a low voice.
He gave his trusted acumen a wink, urging them to bring Ye Nanxiao to the reception room as soon as possible.
A minister who was very close to Wen Chong heard Wen Chong's low shout.
"Xiao Nanye? This person actually came to visit? Patriarch Wen, is he the powerful figure who previously toyed with the Aodu Chamber of Commerce?" the minister asked loudly.
"Exactly," Wen Chong laughed loudly.
Now that the other party had already loudly proclaimed Xiao Nanye's name, he could no longer hide it.
"I heard that even the former head of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, An Litong, was helpless against Xiao Nanye and eventually gave up," another minister said.
The fact that such a person was attracted to the Wen family's banquet suggests that Wen Chong knows Xiao Nanye.
Just how terrifying is the Wen family's current foundation?
Thinking of this, the ministers couldn't help but shower Wen Chong with compliments.
It must be said that high-ranking ministers are exceptionally skilled at flattery, quickly putting Wen Chong into a blissful state.
Left out in the reception room, Ye Nanxiao once again displayed his street urchin nature.
They slipped into a banquet hall, constantly holding snacks in their left and right hands, and gulping down expensive wines.
This street urchin behavior caused all the self-proclaimed nobles to avoid him, for fear of being tainted by vulgarity.
