Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Zheng Xuan nodded, saying, “I can roast meat, I roast the most delicious fish.”
Mo Fei, “…”
The old man looked at Zheng Xuan contemptuously, “Who asked you this? I asked you, you know when to use the small fire, medium fire, and big ire? And how to control it?”
Zheng Xuan looked straight at the old man, very honest and sincere, “I don’t know.”
“You don’t know? Are you from that wasteland?” The old man said grumpily.
Zheng Xuan nodded and said, “Exactly.”
The old man angrily looked at Mo Fei and Zheng Xuan, “Those idiots of the task hall! They sent me two completely ignorant fools!”
Mo Fei looked at the old man, asking gingerly, “or you tell the task hall to change us?”
The old man looked at Mo Fei coldly and said, “What do you mean? Are you ordering me? Hum! When is it your turn to make decisions for me? You know what, I will not change.”
Mo Fei, “…” He rolled his eyes in his heart and said to himself, “This old man is really tough!”
“But we don’t know anything, and I’m afraid we can’t help you.” Mo Fei said helplessly.
The old man held his hands behind his back and looked at Mo Fei with a look of displeasure. “You don’t know? But you can learn! How could you be so lazy at such a young age? What can I expect from both of you?”
Mo Fei, “…”
The old man looked at the refining room, wearing a heart-broken look, “The refining room I have finally built up three days ago got blow up again! I don’t know how long it will take me to fix it again.”
Mo Fei. “…” Great, I can slack off. You’d better repair it in another three months!
The old man critically threw a jade slip to him, saying, “There are three thousand six hundred and seventy-two kinds of ingredients in this book. You should get familiar with them.”
“That many?” Mo Fei was stunned.
The old man was full of disdain, “What? This is already too much for you to learn? This is only a small part of the common ingredients used in magic weapon refining. The refining arts is profound. You will not understand it.”
Mo Fei nodded and said, “Got it!”
The old man took a glance at Zheng Xuan, also threw zheng Xuan a jade slip, “This fire controling formula is about how to control fire. You get familiar with it. The fire control is directly related to the success or failure of the refining, this is not as simple as your barbecue.”
Zheng Xuan nodded, saying, “I see, senior.”
Yuan Yuan pushed open the door. As he saw Mo Fei, he got jump scare, “You…You……Are you all right?”
Mo Fei looked at him, puzzled, “Why ask so?”
Yuan Yuan resumed his calmness, “I heard Elder Cheng got his furnace exploded again, and a bit one. So I thought…you…”
Mo Fei nodded, in the heart still fluttering with fear, “It exploded indeed, but I wasn’t in the room when it happened.”
Yuan Yuan nodded, saying after heaving a sigh of relief, “Oh! You’re lucky.”
Mo Fei nodded in agreement. “Yes!”
Yuan Yuan looked at him and asked, “Have you seen Elder Cheng? What does he think of you?”
Mo Fei gave a hollow laugh and said shyly, “Yeah, he thought I am stupid, silly, weak and ignorant. I let him replace me, but he refused, really difficult to serve!”
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, “That’s because he couldn’t exchange you with someone else.”
“Why?” Mo Fei asked, puzzled.
Yuan Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, “Because the chief has agreed that they don’t have to send anyone to wait on him.”
Mo Fei looked at Yuan Yuan with some confusion. Yuan Yuan touched his nose and explained, “Actually, at the beginning, it was very popular to go to elder Cheng to do some work. Many seniors of xuan cla.s.s fought to work for him, after all, Elder Cheng is earth cla.s.s.”
Mo Fei picked his eyebrow and said, “Really? What happened then?”
Yuan Yuan sighed, “later most xuan cla.s.s seniors who went to act as his a.s.sistants died.”
Mo Fei, “…”
“And since then, gradually those sent there are some human cla.s.s, and after those human cla.s.s masters almost all died there, no one has ever been willing to a.s.sist him. Only when Elder Cheng urges them, the task hall would send some level nine wretches below level nine who had offended the seniors over.” Yuan Yuan looked at Mo Fei and said so.
Mo Fei, “…” So, he’s the wretched one!
Yuan Yuan looked at Mo Fei’s dejected expression and winked innocently.
Mo Fei heaved a light sigh, while fast generating his sense to get himself familiar with the content on the jade slip.
Elder Cheng said that it would take about three days to repair the refining room. After three days, he still had to go back to a.s.sist him.
Mo Fei looked at Yuan Yuan and asked, “By the way, anything new recently?”
Yuan Yuan nodded and said, “Yes! An outer disciple of Luolei Cliff has made breakthrough to human cla.s.s. Such a thing hasn’t happened for a long time. Normally, after he has made it to human cla.s.s, he could become a formal disciple. But don’t know why, he is still kept as an outer disciple. He could only change his ident.i.ty together with those outer disciples who make it to level ten three months later.”
Mo Fei smiled. “Really?”
Yuan Yuan nodded and said, “Yes!”
Mo Fei mouth floated a faint smile, Lou Yu is Lou Yu, he has made it to human cla.s.s as expected!
