Swoosh swoosh …
Mu Shuangye's delicate brows furrowed as her slender fingers swiped across the holographic screen. "Butler Mu, you said that the family is invited to participate in the conference at Lake City Arsenal every year. Every time, we don't get an order for the two-star Heart Element Set. Are we not going to come next year?"
Butler Mu's heart skipped a beat. "Miss, how can we not come? This is a tradition of Tun Kadaan Province every year! You can't say this outside … "
"Is it necessary to spend so much money and time to come to Lake City every year for this tradition?" Mu Shuangye's red lips twitched.
This conference was formed a thousand years ago. It was also something that Tun Kadaan Province strived for back then.
At that time, Tun Kadaan Province was very backward in terms of military affairs. The order with Lake City Arsenal was a shortcut to obtain superior armaments.
Now, times had changed. With the prosperity of the great aristocrats of Tun Kadaan Province, there was no need for them to order armaments from Lake City Arsenal.
The main reason was that the White Dwarf Kingdom had an internal protection strategy. It was very difficult to obtain orders for superior armaments that were two-star and above.
As one of the largest families in Tun Kadaan, the Mu family did not care about orders that were two-star and below. They might as well purchase from the Sea-Ao Empire.
From Mu Shuangye's point of view, the annual trip to Lake City Arsenal was really unnecessary.
However, all the families in the province were proud to participate in the conference. Even if she objected, the Mu family would not agree.
With a light snort, Mu Shuangye looked out of the window. From time to time, shoals of fish would leap out of the sea. The sky was blue, and the scenery was dazzlingly beautiful.
"Some things in the family still need to change …" Mu Shuangye said softly.
Butler Mu bowed, not daring to speak. After returning from White Arrow Harbor, Miss had changed too much.
In just half a year, she had gone from being ignorant to having the demeanor of a family head. This kind of growth was what the family hoped to see, but it was not what Butler Mu wanted to see.
"Miss. Don't be so tired. Take a good rest and relax while you're in Huwan Lake City. "Butler Mu slightly bowed and suggested.
"Butler Mu, I'm not tired … Don't always treat me like a child …" Mu Shuangye said angrily.
Dong dong …
There was a knock on the door, and a servant reported that Annette and Kray of the Dunkadance Family were requesting an audience.
"Let them in," Mu Shuangye said.
A man and a woman walked in. The woman was gorgeously dressed and had a sexy figure.
The man was tall and burly, and looked extraordinarily heroic.
"Miss Shuangye, it's not easy to see you! I haven't seen you attend any banquets while we were on the ship. "Annette smiled faintly, her eyes full of charm.
"Miss Shuangye." Clay bowed.
Mu Shuangye smiled, indicating that she had a lot of family affairs to deal with and that she could rest for a few days in Huwan Lake City after finishing them on the ship.
"Miss Shuangye, I heard that the lake scenery in Huwan Lake City is pretty good …"
Annette was obviously prepared for this. She started the conversation.
"Miss Shuangye, I wonder if I can have the honor of traveling with you in Huwan Lake?" Clay said as he slightly raised his head and looked at Mu Shuangye with a blazing gaze.
Mu Shuangye frowned inwardly, but she maintained a smile on her face and changed the topic after exchanging a few pleasantries.
…
Half an hour later, Annette and Clay walked out of the private room, and the former heaved a sigh of relief.
"Looks like the Mu Family isn't making any big moves this time. This way, our Auth Family will be able to get a part of the order. "
Annette murmured.
In Tun Kadaan Province, the Auth Family belonged to the middle class, and such aristocratic forces were very eager for orders from the munitions factory.
Turning her head, she saw Clay looking at the VIP room's door with an absent-minded expression. Annette was furious and reprimanded in a low voice, "What are you looking at? Do you think that Mu Shuangye will take a fancy to you? Even if she takes a fancy to you, don't tell me you still want to marry into the Mu Family? "
Clay was shocked and returned to his senses, but he was speechless. To him, if Mu Shuangye took a fancy to him, marrying into the Mu Family wasn't out of the question.
Looking at Clay's appearance, Annette sneered and said, "Let's not talk about family and background first. Let's talk about strength first. The eldest daughter of the Mu Family is now a Level 3 Heart Scholar. What about you? Stop thinking about women all day and focus on improving yourself. "
Speaking up to this point, Annette was so angry that she wanted to kick this younger brother of hers if they weren't in public.
"You're the future patriarch of the Auth Family. Can't you work harder? You still want to marry into the Mu Family? Do you want to anger Father to death? "Annette held back her anger and said softly.
Clay agreed and lowered his head. No one knew what he was thinking.
…
A few days later, Huwan Lake City.
It was a standalone villa, and it was Lin Chuan's temporary residence.
He had been here for more than ten days. The agreement with Huwan Lake City Munitions Factory was completed in a week, and it was extended for another three days.
After completing the agreement, Master Barce and his party did not leave. Instead, they returned to the mechanical hive after participating in the negotiation.
In the laboratory, Hayashi River stood in front of the workbench, creating the [Rock Blade Swift Suit].
* Beep beep … *
On the machine's display, three images appeared and connected to each other. A [Rock Blade Swift Suit] was produced.
Hayashi River heaved a sigh of relief and kept the [Rock Blade Swift Suit] properly.
Over the past few days, the production rate of a three-piece suit had reached one out of every ten attempts.
If this rate were to spread, it would really scare people to death.
However, in the munitions factory, he had never created a [Rock Blade Swift Suit]. He had only created a two-piece 2-star suit.
Even so, Hayashi River had gained the unanimous respect of the machinists in Huwan Lake City Munitions Factory. Like the Fireblade Workshop, many machinists called him Senior Chuan or Teacher Chuan.
"The production rate of a two-star suit is much lower than a one-star three-piece suit …"
Hayashi River shook his head. With his current machinery skills, the production rate of a one-star three-piece suit was only one or two attempts.
However, the production rate of the [Rock Blade Swift Suit] had already reached his expectations.
"Just a few more sets, and it should be enough …"
"Meow …"
At the side, the Blue Kitty called out. It hugged a ball on the table and rolled it back and forth.
This little fellow had been staying here for the past few days. It was so bored.
Meow … Master, rest for half a day. Let's go out and play …
Blue Kitty's gem-like eyes revealed such a desire, but it was ignored by Hayashi River.
"I've already declined so many banquets. If I go out like this, who knows how many more invitations I'll receive," Hayashi River mumbled.
On the night he arrived at Huwan Lake City, Hayashi River received dozens of invitations every night. They were all banquets and gatherings organized by the government and various organizations. He rejected them all with the excuse of conducting experiments.
If he went out like this now, who knew how much harassment he would receive …
"Sigh … It's so annoying to be too popular!" Hayashi River mumbled.
Blue Kitty, "Bam (̄ Д ̄) bam."
'I'm not annoyed. I want to go out and play …'
"When the conference starts, those organizations in the city won't have time to pay attention to me. I'll take you out for a walk then."
Hayashi River promised.
Ding!
At this moment, Mossy Bone's voice came through the earpiece, asking about Hayashi River's preparations.
"The conference in Huwan Lake City is starting today. We'll act according to plan. I'm almost done here, "Hayashi River said.
"Then I'll wait until the second day of the conference to release the news." Mossy Bone's voice came through the earpiece.
As he spoke, there was a knock on the door. After the door opened, Bamboo Pole dashed in.
"Teacher Chuan. Are you still doing your research? The conference is about to start. Master Barce wants you to change. "
Bamboo Pole was dressed in formal attire, and he spun around in front of Lin Chuan to show off his body, which was as thin as a bamboo.
Hayashi River looked up. His lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end. He really didn't have the energy to complain.
With such a tall and skinny figure, he still chose such a slim formal suit. It was such a waste of expensive fabric.
When he went downstairs with Bamboo, Lin Chuan changed into a gray suit. He did not look flashy.
Edith and Le Xue, on the other hand, were dressed splendidly, outlining their graceful curves.
Master Barce was very satisfied. Be it in terms of strength or appearance, these students were all very presentable.
"Teacher Barce, I thought you didn't like to attend the conference. Why did you suddenly stay back? Is it because an old friend is coming? "Hayashi River asked as he walked with Master Barce.
Master Barce's expression changed slightly. There was a strange look in his eyes. "Yes, an old friend wants to meet …"
He turned around and looked at Bamboo Pole and the others. He said, "You guys have improved a lot these days. If you need to show your strength during the conference, don't tarnish the reputation of the Fireblade Mechanical Workshop."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. It seemed that Master Barce was not staying for a simple gathering with old friends.
"The Mechanical Beehive is not the only one in the Mechanical City of the Eastern Continent …" Master Barce said.
Hearing this, Hayashi River understood. Would the other workshops in the Mechanical City come as well?
"At that time, it'll just be a sparring session. You don't have to do anything," Master Barce ordered.
Hayashi River nodded. He didn't want to be too high-profile during the conference.
