Chapter 181 Ye Fox's Plan to Poach Talent
Xue Di thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Ye Nanxiao meant. Helping secretly can be done indirectly, like reversing into a parking space. What kind of help is that?
Stepping onto the lake, Ye Nanxiao took a deep breath and looked up at the entire golden tree.
"I wonder if the Golden Tree can be used in a Soul Tool. I remember this tree is supposed to be a rare and precious herb." Ye Nanxiao thought, rubbing his chin.
"Speaking of rare and precious materials, Qian Duoduo hasn't given me any rare metals yet! I can use the excuse of needing a soul tool for self-defense to get them all at once!"
Having made up his mind, Ye Nanxiao hummed a little tune and flew towards the Soul Guidance Department on the floating ice.
Stepping into the gate of the Soul Guidance Department, Ye Nanxiao glanced at the buildings on either side that he had chosen as landmarks.
A beautiful figure emerged from the building on the right and came into Ye Nanxiao's sight.
"Little Fox, it's been a long time!" Lan Yuning greeted Ye Nanxiao with a smile.
Seeing this, Ye Nanxiao returned the greeting.
Lan Yuning smiled and said, "I have to go now."
After saying that, he walked straight out of the Soul Guidance Department.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at the words on the building that Lan Yuning had walked out of.
"Temporary use of soul tools? Fan Yu seemed to have mentioned this place before, where the academy's soul tools are lent to students." Ye Nanxiao suddenly realized that Fan Yu's experimental area was already his own lazy base, so why didn't he find this soul tool lending place every time he entered the Soul Guidance Department?
On another note, who was that girl who greeted me just now? She looks kind of familiar.
Upon arriving at Fan Yu's soul guidance experiment area, Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu were sitting to one side drinking tea.
As soon as Ye Nanxiao entered the room, Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo's eyes were immediately drawn to him.
Stared at by the two, Ye Nanxiao involuntarily took a step back, saying with a look of terror, "What are you two going to do? I have a wife!"
Qian Duoduo slapped Ye Nanxiao on the head and said irritably, "What are you thinking about? Come and take a look at these soul tools. Fatty from Mingde Hall is really generous. Not to mention the level eight soul tools, there are quite a few level nine soul tools. They're just not easy to dismantle. They're currently in the stage of imitating the core array. This is a rare opportunity. You should give it a try. This is your forte."
After Qian Duoduo finished speaking, he took out a level nine fixed-mount soul cannon from his personal storage soul tool and placed it on the ground.
A chilling aura emanated from this fixed-mount soul-guided cannon; simply by looking at it, one could almost hear a faint rumbling sound.
Ye Nanxiao rubbed his head, slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a rich blue light flowing in his eyes.
Carefully observing the soul-guided cannon, Ye Nanxiao sighed inwardly that Jing Hongchen truly deserved to be the person who developed Mingde Hall into the highest research institute for soul-guided devices on the Sun and Moon Continent. The core array technique contained in this fixed-mount soul-guided cannon was the most powerful killing and linkage array he had ever seen.
"Every core array of the entire soul-guided cannon is closely connected. It seems that it is not possible to separate any one of them. If we rashly try to separate them, it may detonate this level-nine fixed soul-guided cannon." Ye Nanxiao raised his hand and pressed it on the soul-guided cannon, and his spiritual power surged out.
Within a core magic array that serves as the core power source, Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt a sense of threat.
Upon closer inspection, a blurry human figure could be vaguely seen rising from the core magic array.
As a white light rose from the blurry figure, Ye Nanxiao suddenly lost his sense of the core magic array.
He used his mental energy again to try and see the true face of the figure.
This time, however, the blurry figure did not reappear.
Ye Nanxiao withdrew his mental energy from his body, frowned slightly, and asked, "Does this soul-guided cannon contain any defensive mechanisms? Or perhaps a mental imprint?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo exchanged a smile.
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Back then, Elder Mu took action and erased the fat man Jing Hongchen's control over these soul tools. However, the fat man Jing Hongchen's spiritual imprint is still inside. What you see is the fat man's spiritual imprint."
"However, your mental strength cultivation has reached such a level that you were able to find that fat man's mental imprint. Although that fat man, Jing Hongchen, mainly cultivates soul tools, his own realm is indeed a genuine Title Douluo realm, and his mental strength cultivation is not low either. The fact that you can sense that fat man's mental imprint shows that you're not just a lazy bum who doesn't cultivate all day long!"
Ye Nanxiao nodded. For a Soul Master, it is customary to imprint their own spiritual mark on a Soul Tool creation that they are satisfied with, to protect the most crucial core array and prevent it from being copied.
The fact that I was able to sense Jing Hongchen's spiritual imprint once must have been something Elder Mu did on purpose.
Just as Qian Duoduo started talking non-stop about Jing Hongchen, Ye Nanxiao slowly copied the core magic array on the soul-guided cannon.
"Huh? You finished it so quickly?" Qian Duoduo's eyes widened slightly as she took the soul guide recorder from Ye Nanxiao.
With just a quick glance, Qian Duoduo confirmed the accuracy of the core magic array recorded on it.
"Hmm, how come there's one more than I counted?" Qian Duoduo thought with a puzzled look.
Ye Nanxiao coughed, took out another soul guide recorder from his storage soul guide device, and handed it to Qian Duoduo, saying, "By the way, regarding the upcoming exchange plan, Elder Mu asked me to come to you to get a level nine soul guide for protection. I also have an important research project recently, so shouldn't Dean Qian approve some rare metals for me?"
Upon hearing Ye Nanxiao's words, Qian Duoduo's expression changed drastically, and he said seriously, "It is necessary to protect yourself with a soul tool, absolutely necessary. Moreover, since it concerns you, you little fox, you must have a good soul tool. Well, I happen to not have any good soul tools on me. I'll go back and get one for you."
After saying that, Qian Duoduo turned around and ran quickly toward the laboratory door.
Ye Nanxiao was already waiting at the gate.
"I've welded this gate shut today!"
Qian Duoduo looked back and saw Ye Nanxiao standing there, with five soul rings floating behind him.
"No, why did you close the door?" Qian Duoduo asked, covering her face.
"Then why are you running?" Ye Nanxiao asked, his eyes wide.
"Isn't this to get you the soul tool when I go back?" Qian Duoduo said with a smile.
"Then you can sign the permit before you leave!" Ye Nanxiao said with a smile, holding the soul guide recorder, and walked towards Qian Duoduo.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's sly smile, Qian Duoduo knew he couldn't escape today. He took the soul guidance recorder, signed his name on it, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You brat, planning to make a few more soul guidance devices? Let me make this clear, I'll personally inspect your soul guidance device results this time! If they don't meet my standards, I'll use Elder Xuan's chicken leg bone to beat you up!"
Ye Nanxiao [?"]
Nima!
How could it be a chicken leg bone!
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's sullen face, Qian Duoduo felt a surge of pleasure. She took out a small box from her personal storage soul tool and tossed it to Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao took the box, glanced at Qian Duoduo, and opened it after the latter nodded slightly. Inside lay a hexagonal, rhomboid metal block with a dragon-like pattern in its center.
Take out the thin metal piece and examine it in your palm.
With a smug smile, Qian Duoduo said, "This is one of my proudest creations so far, the Black Dragon Prism, a level nine soul tool. Although it can't compare to that old guy from Mingde Hall, it can still withstand an attack from a Title Douluo without much problem, and at most, it can withstand a blow from a Super Douluo!"
"That's right, that's right, I have complete confidence in Dean Qian's abilities." Ye Nanxiao put the Wulong Diamond Mirror into his storage ring with a satisfied look, adding in his mind, "It's just that his naming skills aren't as good as mine!"
Seeing Qian Duoduo's generosity, Fan Yu joked, "It seems Dean Qian has reaped a great harvest!"
Qian Duoduo laughed loudly, "That's right. The soul tools left behind by that old guy from Mingde Hall are at least level eight peak, and they were made by hand. Even if we use the soul tools that can't be disassembled to exchange for resources, it's still a very considerable amount. We've made a great harvest this time. But we'll be busy for the next few months."
Ye Nanxiao turned around, walked to his desk, took out a piece of draft paper, and scribbled away, showing no interest in the conversation between the two.
After chatting with Fan Yu for a while, Qian Duoduo noticed that Ye Nanxiao was unusually quiet, which was inconsistent with the fox cub's reaction every time he got rare metals.
He Fanyu exchanged a glance with Ye Nanxiao and walked behind him to observe.
When Fan Yu glanced at the contents of Ye Nanxiao's draft, she couldn't hide the shock on her face.
Qian Duoduo wasn't as polite as Fan Yu. She directly took Ye Nanxiao's draft and examined it. Anyway, every time Ye Nanxiao came to Qian Duoduo, it was either to extort money from him or on his way to extort money from him.
"Hey, kid Ye, you have a few new ideas, huh? Wow, that's incredible! A full-coverage soul-guided armor! And this one on the back..."
When Qian Duoduo saw Ye Nanxiao's second plan clearly, her eyes widened and she gripped the draft drawing tightly with both hands.
"This, this is, a humanoid soul tool! You named it? Soul Guidance Gundam Project!" Qian Duoduo's hands trembled slightly as he finished speaking.
Seeing Qian Duoduo's excited expression, Ye Nanxiao ignored Qian Duoduo's previous behavior, picked his ear, and said, "If you can make something in your hands, you can naturally make something to wear. And if you can wear something, you can naturally make it in different sizes. If you make the size bigger, that's the Gundam Bomber."
"This is just an idea, and it's hard to say whether it will succeed. However, I'm quite confident about the armor plan!" Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
Fan Yu stared at Ye Nanxiao for a while, and under the latter's somewhat uneasy gaze, slowly spoke, "This time, is it all for Jiang Nannan again?"
"Not only that, not only that, I also have a wife." Ye Nanxiao revealed an innocent smile.
Qian Duoduo almost smeared the draft drawing in her hand on Ye Nanxiao's handsome, almost demonic face, and then took out the large chicken leg bone she had obtained from Elder Xuan and gave Ye Nanxiao a few whacks. So all this effort of yours is for your wife?
Taking a deep breath, Qian Duoduo looked at Ye Nanxiao seriously, "Does your full-coverage soul-guided armor have a name?"
"I have some experience in naming things, so how about we call him Battle Armor?" Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
"In that case, how many resources do you need to forge a battle armor like this?" Qian Duoduo pulled up a stool and sat down, his face serious, his eyes fixed on Ye Nanxiao.
Seeing Qian Duoduo's appearance, Ye Nanxiao revealed a shrewd businessman's smile, thinking to himself, "Here it comes, my sponsorship has arrived."
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's expression, Fan Yu understood perfectly well that Ye Nanxiao was planning to extort money from Qian Duoduo again. However, Fan Yu pulled up a chair and sat down, quietly waiting for Ye Nanxiao's answer.
"To make this, resources aside, we also need someone's help." Ye Nanxiao held up a finger and waved it in front of the two of them.
This is someone Ye Nanxiao is determined to have, someone he absolutely must kidnap... no, invite back!
"Who?" Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu asked in unison.
"Xuan Ziwen, a teacher at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo both fell silent. As teachers at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Shrek Academy had initially considered poaching them, but the Sun Moon Empire was very strict, and after several attempts, Shrek Academy gave up the idea.
Qian Duoduo asked in confusion, "How do you know this Xuan Ziwen?"
"Xuan Ziwen, you have a special connection with my Tang Clan!" Ye Nanxiao said mysteriously, arms crossed.
Whether he coaxes or deceives, he's determined to undermine the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy!
Fan Yu had spent the most time with Ye Nanxiao, and seeing Ye Nanxiao sitting with his arms crossed, watching the show, she couldn't help but laugh. "So you have something on your mind now, don't you? Tell me, what are you planning to do this time, you cunning fox?"
Ye Nanxiao held up one finger again and waved it in front of the two of them, saying, "I need to go to the Sun Moon Empire ahead of time, and I'll be traveling alone."
Qian Duoduo naturally understood what Ye Nanxiao was talking about. Soon after, there would be an exchange student program between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.
Qian Duoduo closed her eyes, remained silent for a while, took Ye Nanxiao's draft drawing, and walked out of Fanyu's experimental area without looking back, leaving behind the words, "I need to see Elder Mu."
Fan Yu shook his head slightly and said, "You're lazy about everything, but you're exceptionally attentive to your woman. That battle armor looks like a phoenix to me, am I right?"
Ye Nanxiao put his arms behind his head and said, "Of course I have to take it seriously. You have to cherish the woman you married. According to my estimation, the Battle Armor can make Soul Masters more capable of fighting alone, and even enable some geniuses to challenge opponents of higher levels. I'm only just starting to explore it now. There are more than just Xuan Ziwen who need to start researching it. But I don't want to wait too long. After all, he's still too young."
Fan Yu sighed softly as she looked at the ceiling and said, "I really don't know what your brain works like. You used to keep saying you wanted to latch onto someone powerful, but now you've done it yourself."
Inside the Sea God Pavilion.
Old Master Xuan stroked the wine pot, looking at Qian Duoduo with an unfriendly expression. He was enjoying a drink by himself in the middle of the night when he was suddenly called to a meeting.
After Elder Mu learned that Ye Nanxiao was the one who had triggered this meeting, he simply called only Elder Xuan, Yan Shaozhe, Cai Meier, and Xian Liner over.
With a serious expression, Qian Duoduo took out Ye Nanxiao's draft drawings from his pocket and placed them on the table.
Elder Xuan glanced at it a few times, then asked with some doubt, "This thing? Why does it look like a woman's armor? Hmm? It seems a little different?"
Yan Shaozhe glanced at the draft and picked up where Elder Xuan left off, "This soul tool, it's probably something that fox cub made, isn't it?"
Yan Shaozhe is extremely unhappy about the fox that stole his cabbage.
Old Master Mu smiled gently and said, "Shao Zhe, it seems that Nan Xiao cares a lot about Xiao Tao. Duo Duo, tell me what you know."
Qian Duoduo recounted her previous conversation with Ye Nanxiao.
Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Fan Yu. His assessment was the same as Fan Yu's: if you want Ye Nanxiao, that little fox, to do something serious, you'll have to go find his wife.
Old Mu stared at the four words "Soul Guiding Gundam" on the blueprint and fell into deep thought.
"No, it's too dangerous to go to the Sun Moon Empire alone ahead of schedule!" Yan Shaozhe objected.
Qian Duoduo didn't have any scenes with Yan Shaozhe this time, and she also agreed with Yan Shaozhe's point of view.
Looking at the draft on the table, Elder Xuan said, "It's not impossible. I'm sure Xiao has considered the risks before making this request."
"Moreover, that kid is so cunning that he usually doesn't suffer losses easily."
Old Master Mu lowered his eyes slightly, a glint of gold in them, and did not immediately agree to express his opinion.
After a short while, Elder Mu addressed the crowd, saying, "Whether the little fox is confident or not, we'll know in a few days!"
