Aucklo was a young man from the Mammon Royal Family in his thirties. Although he was quite respectful in front of the three masters, his eyes when looking at Chen Rui revealed undisguised arrogance and contempt.
Aucklo did have the capital to be proud. He was successful at a young age, dual-specialized, and he was from the royal family. His future was limitless. Of course, there were many duo-specialized mechanics, but duo-specialized mechanic masters were rare in the entire Demon Realm. The difference of one word was a thousand miles. In addition to the trio-specialized genius master Arthur who shocked the Demon Realm, only the top mechanic master, Nate, and Horford who appeared later were famous for dual-specialized.
Nate, the president of the Bloody Empire Mechanic Association, once said, "If Aucklo can keep working hard and make a huge breakthrough in dual-specialized, then his future achievements will definitely be above me." Although this sentence was a bit suspicious of building momentum for the royal family genius, Aucklo had never failed in many contests with mechanics of the same level. His talent was beyond doubt.
This reading hall was already full of mechanics. It was true that contribution points were needed here, but this kind of contest between geniuses and "lucky ones" might not be seen even with contribution points. Therefore, most people put down the reading in their hands and consciously acted as an audience.
"Now, any mechanic present, please take out any piece of equipment as a prop for the contest!" As soon as Juliet said that, many mechanics rushed to take out their proud works. Most of them wanted to show it in front of the three masters to attract more attention. Among them, there were also those who flattered Juliet and Aucklo.
Juliet randomly selected one weapon, one armor, and one jewelry each and placed them on the table in the center.
"Okay, Aucklo, Richard, you can start now. There are no restrictions on the tools and means. Whoever can identify the attributes of these equipment the fastest and most accurately will be the winner."
The noisy surrounding suddenly quieted down. Not only to avoid disturbing the two people who were competing, but it was also a good opportunity for mechanics to observe and learn. However, almost no one was optimistic about the "lucky guy", Chen Rui.
When Juliet shouted to start, Aucklo had already taken out the corresponding equipment and began to test the attributes of the dagger. Appraisal was a profound knowledge. In order to accurately identify each attribute without affecting the equipment, one not only needed to be proficient in and operate various testing equipment, but also an experienced judgment. This was because the testing equipment was more of a reference data, and understanding and experience were the most important elements.
In Aucklo's eyes, this Excellent-grade dagger was not the best, but Aucklo still rigorously tested it according to various degrees of precision, without the slightest nervousness or panic in front of so many people. That kind of immersive rhythm and proficiency in using the items made those mechanics secretly envious. However, at this moment, a very discordant voice rang out, "I'm done. Which master should I give this result to?"
It was Chen Rui who said this. Everyone thought they heard it wrong: Are you kidding me?! This guy didn't use anything. He just walked up and pretended to look at the three pieces of equipment. He even yawned and wrote a few lines on a piece of paper. I thought he was just sharpening his spear at the last minute or something, but he actually finished it? Do you think you're a master? No, even a master isn't that fast!
This time, not only Juliet and Aucklo, but even Mavinna was taken aback. Chen Rui said again, "Let's do it this way. I will write 3 copies. Teacher, Master Mavinna, and that Master Pig each have one copy. Otherwise, someone will play tricks and not admit it."
Chen Rui quickly wrote two more copies and handed them to the three masters. Mavinna and Juliet glanced at it and looked solemn. They walked directly to the table and began to identify the other two pieces of equipment in Aucklo's hands.
Juliet's expression became uglier and uglier. He couldn't help but take the dagger in Aucklo's hand and began to identify it. Mavinna's eyes were also constantly shaking with surprise. Only Master Turia stood calmly by the side. He took a sip of wine from time to time to hide the pride in his heart.
"An unimaginable genius." After the identification, Mavinna put down the equipment in her hand and took a deep look at Chen Rui. Her eyes fell on Master Turia, "This time, you accepted an incredible disciple."
This sentence almost directly determined Aucklo's failure, and Master Juliet's face turned extremely pale, but he did not say a word. Aucklo couldn't believe his ears. How is it possible? Isn't the word genius exclusive to me?
Aucklo didn't care about being rude and grabbed the note in Juliet's hand. He saw that the attributes of each piece of equipment were indeed written on it. Not only that, there were also the materials used for each piece of equipment. However, some materials were added with a note – "I don't know. The teacher hasn't taught this yet."
"It's just a little talent." Master Turia was extremely proud in his heart. It was inconvenient to be arrogant in front of Mavinna, so he said a few humble words. Chen Rui wasn't arrogant either. He used his little maid wife's submissive method and stood behind Master Turia respectfully.
At this time, the note in Turia's hand had been handed to the surrounding mechanics. Someone read it out loud. The 3 mechanics who took out the equipment all had a horrified expression. When the note was read, many people laughed out loud. However, the way they looked at Chen Rui had changed dramatically.
No wonder Master Mavinna, who had always been cold, used the adjectives "unimaginable" and "incredible" consecutively. This guy named "Richard" being able to be apprenticed to Master Turia was really not because of luck, but because he had a real abnormal genius ability!
Now, Master Turia, who has been silent, is probably going to be famous in the Bloody Empire. In other words, the really lucky one is Master Turia. He can actually find such a talented disciple!
"Impossible! I won't lose. It must be you despicable guys who used some cheating methods! " Aucklo lost his composure and yelled. He had always been praised high and mighty, so he was used to looking up. Now that he was slammed down, the gap made this so-called genius unbearable for a while.
Master Juliet's face became even uglier. I personally selected these 3 pieces of equipment. Aucklo said that, isn't he scolding me as his teacher too?
The surrounding mechanics weren't fools. Some people who usually didn't like Aucklo shouted one after another.
"Don't compete if you can't afford to lose. What genius?"
"What a disgrace!"
"…"
These words stimulated Aucklo even more. He shouted angrily, "Richard! Just now doesn't count. If you're a man, compete again! "
Being a sore loser made Chen Rui look down on Aucklo even more. He didn't bother to pay attention to such a person.
"I am the most outstanding genius of the royal family. I order you to compete with me again, you lowly demon!" Aoklo roared hysterically, "I am the most outstanding genius of the royal family. I order you to compete with me again!"
This sentence offended even more people. Among the mechanics, the number of Great Demons was the largest, accounting for about 50%. The 3 masters were Great Demons, so the scolding continued for a while.
Mavinna's face became even more gloomy. Turia was about to lose his temper, but Chen Rui said, "The 2 rings on your hands are made by yourself right? This one increases stamina recovery by 20% and speed up by 10%. There is also a special medium that seems to stimulate male senses. I remember I just saw it on the information on this floor. It's called Erotic Sheep Flower, right? The effect should be to treat some male dysfunction? Hey, what is this one … It actually increases the stiffness of the limbs by 10% and endurance and endurance by 20%? Oh my Demon God, what kind of rings are these?! It doesn't matter if we compete again, but what I doubt now is if you throw away those messy auxiliary props on your body, are you worthy of the word 'man' in a certain aspect? "
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Their eyes were all staring at the ring in Aucklo's hand. Erotic Sheep Flower that treats male dysfunction? Increases the stiffness of the limbs? Increases endurance, speed, and stamina recovery?
Whispers sounded one after another. The topics were all about the abilities of a certain genius male. There was laughter from time to time, and there were many female voices among them.
Aucklo's body trembled, and his face instantly turned red. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight to the ground. He actually fainted.
Juliet also wanted to faint because 5,000 contribution points were almost all of his accumulation. However, with so many people as witnesses, especially Master Mavinna, it was obviously impossible to renege on the debt.
After the contest that caused a sensation in the Book Collection Hall, Aucklo became "famous" because of something. He would probably become the topic of idle people for a long time. It was certain that this mechanic genius wouldn't appear in public for a while.
Of course, the most famous one was Chen Rui's "magic eyes". This pair of gifted strange eyes could not only accurately identify the attributes of the equipment, but it could also judge the materials used. Even if the newly promoted mechanic's accomplishments in other fields were a mess, this unique and powerful talent alone was enough to make him stand among the most valued top geniuses in the Mechanic Association.
The masters in the association began to envy the drunkard, Turia. He actually had such good luck to accept a disciple who was likely to be the top appraisal master in the Demon Realm in the future. Several masters had begun to get closer to Turia. The purpose was to use Chen Rui's magic eyes to distinguish the materials used in some rare equipment. This way, they could more clearly deduce the production process and techniques, making it possible to improve the mechanic skills that had fallen into a bottleneck.
Out of Chen Rui's suggestion, Master Turia didn't always grant his request. He said that he couldn't disturb his disciple's normal study, but this didn't affect the rise of his status in the association.
A few days later, Chen Rui was preparing to go to Turia's lab when he suddenly received a notice. This notice was sent by the president of the Bloody Empire Mechanic Association and the top mechanic master of the Demon Realm, Nate, saying that he was asked to go to the president's office.
Nate had been meditating on mechanics behind closed doors from time to time. These few days, he just "came out". He should have heard about the magical talent of Master Turia's new disciple, so he specially wanted to meet Chen Rui.
Nate's appearance was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was burly, had a square face, thick eyebrows, and a mustache. He faintly exuded a deterrent momentum. [Analytical Eyes] showed that his Comprehensive Strength Assessment had reached the peak stage of the Great Demon King.
Nate didn't try to let Chen Rui identify the equipment or ask other questions. His first sentence was, "I'm Nate. Mammon, the strongest mechanic master of the Demon Realm."
This tone was full of strong confidence and domineering. He had the momentum of the top person in the Demon Realm. Then, the second sentence was actually, "I'm looking for you only for one thing. Are you willing to be my disciple?"
Nate's straightforward and even domineering request surprised Chen Rui a little. At present, Nate's authority and status in the mechanic world were indeed the highest peak. Being the disciple of the top master, whether it was skills or future prospects, Turia and the others couldn't compare at all.
Even if "Richard" had that special talent, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If it was any ordinary mechanic, it would inevitably be tempted, but Chen Rui was not an ordinary mechanic or even an ordinary master, but the biggest "enemy" in Nate's subconscious, the trio-specialized genius master who appeared out of nowhere and shocked the Demon Realm.
Nate did look extraordinary, majestic, and charismatic. He had quite a bit of personal charm, but unfortunately, Chen Rui had already learned from Master Skye (Fonsaq) that this Demon Realm's top mechanic master with extraordinary appearance was actually a despicable person who used secret techniques to devour other people's consciousness and absorb their memories and abilities.
This time, perhaps he really fancied "Richard's" special talent, or perhaps he had other insidious plans.
Nate never dreamed that the "lucky guy" in front of him was his biggest imaginary enemy, the genius "Master Arthur". He didn't expect that even his unknown details were clear to the other party.
Chen Rui had already reacted. He deliberately maintained a surprised expression, then he showed hesitation, "Sir President, this is too sudden … I'm not mentally prepared at all …"
Nate didn't talk too much with him. He just asked, "Then tell me your choice."
"Master Turia is very good to me …" Chen Rui looked hesitant. He was obviously tempted by Nate's proposal, "Sir President, can you give me some time to think about it?"
"I will comprehend behind closed doors again tomorrow. It will take about a week or so. After this comprehension, I must get an answer." Nate gave a deadline, "Not every so-called genius can come to my office like this. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on your own choice. Remember, you only have this chance to choose. "
Chen Rui quickly bowed, "Sir President, then I will leave first."
