From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

In the fifth month of the Abyss, the temperature is a bit cold.

Although people with special abilities have strong physiques and are relatively cold-resistant, Lu Heng still put on a down jacket at his mother's strong request.

After these few days of accumulation, I have collected ten business orders for weapon quenching.

Lu Heng came to Quenching Fort today, planning to complete this business order and earn some crystal cores.

When I entered the Quenching Fort from Bridge Hole No. 9 carrying two boxes, I was a little surprised.

Because there were a lot of people in Quenching Castle today, a group of supernatural beings gathered in the front courtyard of the castle, surrounding Gulu not knowing what they were doing.

The main reason is that Gulu is relatively short, so you can't see him from a distance.

However, his voice can be heard.

"Taste it, taste it."

Lu Heng walked over curiously, took a look into the crowd, and then felt numb all over.

Gulu held a basin in his hand, which was full of fried cockroaches.

A group of superpowers stretched out their hands with struggling expressions to pick up the cockroaches in the basin, and slowly put them into their mouths. Their movements were as slow as if they had been hit by an advanced stagnation spell.

Lu Heng got goosebumps all over his body when he saw this scene.

However, there is one thing to say.

The living environment of the Abyss Black Iron Dwarves is relatively harsh, and they do have the habit of eating bugs, of course they eat bugs from the Abyss World.

When Lu Heng saw clearly what was going on, his stomach was churning and he almost vomited it out. He quickly walked towards the castle at a faster pace.

When we were almost passing the vestibule.

A person with special powers couldn't put a fried cockroach into his mouth for a long time. Then he found someone trying to eat the cockroach. He immediately pointed at Lu Heng and asked, "Why doesn't he eat it?"

Gulu turned around and saw that it was Lu Heng, holding the pot of "delicious food", and asked happily: "Do you want to try it? I added very delicious condiments."

"No." Lu Heng waved his hand firmly and refused, then continued walking inside.

Gulu didn't force it, and continued to persuade others to try it more.

When all the superpowers saw Lu Heng go in without eating, they suddenly felt unbalanced: "Why can he go in without eating? Then I won't eat either."

When Gulu heard how arrogant this superpower was, his face darkened and he chased him away: "Then get out!"

Hu Biao hurriedly explained to the superpower: "Mr. He, that person has privileges in Quenching Castle. You should eat it quickly."

The person who raised the question turned out to be He Shangyong, the "Quenching Master" promoted by Chunshang Group.

Hu Biao stayed under the Century Bridge for three days. Finally, he waited until the Quenching Fort opened and successfully led people into the Quenching Fort.

However, I don’t know who set the rules. Before entering the Tempering Fort, you have to taste some "delicious food" at the door.

Lu Heng also didn't expect that after he made a joke with Gulu before, he would actually take it seriously.

This must be because the cultural differences are too big and there is a small problem.

…

Lu Heng entered the forging room and started quenching the weapons.

Ten quenching orders were completed, eight were successful and two were unsuccessful.

It must be that the acid in the stomach affects performance. Today's quenching success rate is only 80%.

After ten quenching processes, the quencher's professional experience increased by a total of 120 points.

The tempering master's professional experience has increased to (750/2000), and it will take some time before the sub-professional is upgraded.

So far, I haven't received any business orders for spiritual infusions. It is estimated that the business orders for spiritual infusions will have to be discussed in person.

When quenching.

Someone was lingering outside the door of the forging room, and kept asking Gulu if he could enter the forging room to observe.

Lu Heng directly closed the door from the inside.

Gulu only took people to visit the Quenching Castle and ignored this person.

After the quenching was completed, Lu Heng cleaned up the smelting residue in the quenching furnace and arranged the various components of the quenching furnace.

Then, he came out of the forging room and returned to the front hall, ready to settle the share of the quenching order with Gulu.

Since you have to use the quenching furnace of the Quenching Fort, you will need to give the Quenching Fort a share of the business orders you receive.

However, Gulu never urged him, it all depended on Lu Heng's self-consciousness.

When we returned to the front hall, the superpowers who came to visit Tempering Castle today had already walked around the castle, and now they were all gathered in the front hall to drink tea.

Fortunately, the tea was normal and there was nothing weird in it, which relaxed the tense nerves of these superpowers.

Gulu is very happy today, because Quenching Castle has not been so lively for a long time.

He Shangyong came with a mission from the Chunshang Group this time, so while Gulu was happy, he made a request:

"Master Gulu, I am also a quencher. Can I use the quenching furnace of the Quenching Fort? The Quenching Fort will first divide some of the crystal cores I earn."

Gulu is actually easy to talk to, as long as it doesn't violate some of his habits and principles.

Upon hearing this human's request, Gulu did not immediately agree, but seriously considered it.

At this time, Lu Heng walked in from outside.

Gulu asked directly: "Lu Heng, what do you think? This quenching master also wants to use the quenching furnace. I don't have to do anything and I will get a share. What do you think?"

This model is similar to Lu Heng's.

The superpowers present were already shocked when they saw that Lu Heng entered the Tempering Fort without having to eat that "delicious food".

Now, I was even more surprised to hear that Gulu asked Lu Heng for his opinion.

Some people even ask in their hearts: Which of you is the master of the Quenching Castle?

He Shangyong's expression suddenly turned ugly because he knew who Lu Heng was.

As the "Quenching Master" promoted by Chunshang Group, he has always known that there is a competitor, and this competitor is Lu Heng.

So, when he heard Guru asking Lu Heng for his opinion, he thought it was over.

Since the other party was a competitor, he would definitely stop him from using the quenching furnace.

However, Lu Heng's answer was beyond his expectations.

Lu Heng thought for a while and replied: "As long as the crystal cores earned can offset the loss of the quenching furnace, I think there is no problem."

The reason why he didn't block the other party's opportunity to use the quenching furnace on the spot was not because Lu Heng was generous, but because it was unnecessary.

Quenching Castle will come into contact with more and more superpowers in the future, and it is impossible for there to be only one human quencher forever.

In other words, if He Shangyong is stopped now, there will be Chen Shangyong and Wang Shangyong in the future.

Instead of blocking these people's way, it is better to enhance the relationship with Guru.

Therefore, Lu Heng's suggestion is to start from the interests of Quenching Castle and think for Guru from his position. This is the correct way to enhance the relationship.

After thinking carefully, Guru asked: "That makes sense, but how can we know whether it can offset the loss of the quenching furnace?"

When He Shangyong heard that he was going to continue, he quickly said: "It must be offset."

Gulu couldn't trust someone he didn't know well, so he looked at Lu Heng and wanted to listen to his advice.

"It's simple, just do an assessment. Do a quenching, give a score, and you'll know, right?" Lu Heng gave a very fair suggestion.

"Yes, do an assessment."

Gulu stood up, pointed at He Shangyong and said: "Did you bring the quenching materials? If you did, come with me, do a quenching, and I'll see what you can do."

When He Shangyong heard this, he quickly agreed: "I brought it, I will definitely perform well."

Gulu pointed at Lu Heng again and said: "You come too, give him a score."

When the superpowers present heard this, they showed surprise on their faces again, thinking: What is the relationship between this person and the Quenching Castle? How can I assess the quencher and ask him to give a score?

Even Hu Biao was surprised. He knew clearly what the relationship between Lu Heng and Quench Fort was.

It was that time when they were together in the abyss battlefield and helped Quench Fort escape from the abyss.

Counting it, only four months have passed, and Lu Heng has become half the owner of Quench Fort.

He Shangyong's face was livid. He originally regarded Lu Heng as a competitor, but now his opponent has become a mentor who scores him.

How can he play this game?

However, he still had to bite the bullet.

Because this is the only chance. If he gives up now, it will be difficult to have another chance in the future.

Guru did not stop others from watching, so all the superpowers present followed into the forging room.

Lu Heng and Guru found a seat and sat down, ready to watch the performance of the new trainee quencher.

He Shangyong bit the bullet and started working, heating the furnace, putting in the quenching material, melting, quenching...

A series of processes were done.

Lu Heng looked expressionless and did not speak from beginning to end.

Gulu stood up from his seat several times and wanted to remind him, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips, because this was an assessment. If he reminded him, the assessment would be inaccurate.

Finally.

He Shangyong completed the quenching process and a relatively rare situation occurred.

The quenching was only half successful, and only half of the quenching properties were increased.

This situation does exist and should be considered an unfinished state.

Usually, when encountering this situation, the solution is to continue to add some quenching materials, repeat the second half of the process, and complete the quenching.

In terms of data, this unfinished quenching state requires 50% more quenching materials to succeed.

After He Shangyong discovered this situation, he quickly glanced at Gulu behind him, then gritted his teeth, took out another quenching material, put it into the quenching furnace, and repeated the second half of the process, and finally completed the quenching.

Quenching is completed.

He Shangyong turned around and glanced at Lu Heng, then looked at Guru, bowed respectfully and said: "Master, please comment."

Gulu did not give his opinion directly, but turned to Lu Heng and asked: "What do you think?"

Lu Heng answered casually: "It's okay, so-so."

This evaluation was not deliberately belittled, and it was a relatively casual evaluation.

Gulu asked again: "Then do you think he should use the quenching furnace?"

Everyone looked at Lu Heng, guessing what Lu Heng would say.

Lu Heng spread his hands and said: "It's ambiguous, let the master decide."

Gulu was not very satisfied with this evaluation. He jumped off the chair, walked over to close the door of the quenching furnace, and began to teach:

"Let's not talk about quenching skills first. Your skills are nothing to brag about. Just talk about attitude. Every time Lu Heng uses the quenching furnace, he will clean up the residue in the furnace and put the quenching furnace parts in place.

"You didn't do any cleaning at all. Don't you know that if the material residue is not cleaned up in time and deposited in the quenching furnace, it will cause the temperature in the furnace to change?

"And your quenching skills are not good. You are not comparable to Lu Heng. You are not suitable to be a quencher. I give you a failing grade."

After listening to Guru's lesson, the superpowers present widened their eyes and thought: You are the legendary dream destroyer, right? Too cruel.

He Shangyong froze there. If Lu Heng had belittled him, he could have said that it was malicious suppression by his competitors.

However, Lu Heng didn't say anything from beginning to end, but Guru's evaluation of him was very bad.

It's not that he didn't know that the quenching furnace needed to be cleaned up after use, but this work was generally done by the assistant of the quencher, and he didn't need to do it before.

But if I use this to defend myself now, I will be asking for trouble.

He Shangyong failed the quenching test, which led to the complete failure of Chunshang Group's plan to infiltrate the Quenching Castle.

…

After coming out of the Quenching Castle, Hu Biao and He Shangyong had to report to Ono Kenji.

Hu Biao was not nervous, because he had done everything that Chunshang Group asked him to do.

He was only responsible for bringing people into the Quenching Castle, and they did go in.

As for He Shangyong's failure to gain the approval of the owner of the Quenching Castle, that was none of his business.

Chunshang Group's layout on quenchers failed, and Lu Heng's quenching skills were more valuable.

During this period, Chunshang Group's plans in Binhai were frustrated one after another, which also made the chaebol behind Chunshang Group very dissatisfied, and Ono Kenji was under great pressure.

…

After Lu Heng came out of the Quenching Castle, he had to hand over the quenching business order to Lin Zeyu first, so he sent him a message.

Not long after, Lin Zeyu's message came back: "I just paid the auction money this afternoon. I'm going to get the team contract now. You can go to the company to hand it over. I don't need to be there."

It's dark now, and it's so late to get the team contract.

Lu Heng didn't think much about it, so he went to Huanyu Company first to hand over the two weapons of the quenching business order.

The guaranteed success rate of the quenching business given by Huanyu Company is 70%, so even if Lu Heng's performance is not good today, the success rate is higher than the guaranteed success rate.

After the handover, Lu Heng prepared to go home.

Just then.

Huanyu Security Company was suddenly alarmed, and a group of superpower bodyguards rushed out of the company.

Lu Heng stopped the Huanyu Security Manager who was in charge of the handover and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

"The boss sent a distress signal." The manager's tone was a little panicked.

"Signal for distress?" Lu Heng frowned suddenly, and immediately thought that Lin Zeyu went to get the team contract so late, which was indeed a bit problematic.

"Can we contact him?" Lu Heng asked immediately.

The manager of Huanyu Security immediately took an ear-hook communicator and said, "This is the company's emergency communicator. The boss has sent a distress signal, and all the security personnel in the company will be notified. Mr. Lu, please help me too."

Lu Heng took the communicator, put it on his ear, and asked, "What's the situation now?"

The voice of Huanyu's commander came from the communication channel: "The boss was shot, and the car he was driving was parked on Hedi Road, near Jiangbin Park. He has not been contacted yet."

Lu Heng walked out while listening to the information.

All the staff of Huanyu Security Company were dispatched, and more than a dozen cars started one after another.

Lu Heng got into one of the cars and asked in the communication channel: "Mu Yu, can you hear it?"

The purpose of Huanyu Security Company's establishment was to serve as a bodyguard for Lin Zeyu.

Lin Zeyu sent a distress signal, and all Huanyu's security personnel would receive the message.

Su Muyu had signed a contract with Huanyu a few days ago, so naturally he also received the distress signal.

"I can hear you. I'm on my way. The scout eagle is expected to arrive in two minutes. It's near Jiangbin Park." Su Muyu's voice came from the communication channel.

"Okay, keep in touch."

As he spoke, the car had already started, and the engine roared rapidly, rushing towards the direction of Jiangbin Park on Hedi Road.
