Obligations of the elderly

The floating island including the Gong family is also the headquarters of the Gong family's refining hall. The new energy carriers mined here are purified, firstly supplied to the refiners of the headquarters, and then supplied to the refiners of the Gong family distributed in Puzhou. The weapon halls, these refining halls are also located on floating islands, and they return to the headquarters to recharge regularly, and by the way, hand over the refining tasks that they have received and cannot handle to the more advanced refining masters in the headquarters.

That's right, the level of the refiners in the Gong family headquarters is the highest, the minimum level of the refiners in the headquarters is A, most of them are S, and there is even a double S level refiner ← this is the old man .

However, this double S level does not mean that the old man can smelt double S level utensils at will. The highest level utensils that the old man has smelted are S level. The number and difficulty have reached the level of a double S-level refiner, and this double S refers to the level of a refiner.

That's right, as a family of refiners who have produced three great refiners, Gongyi, Gonger, and Gongsan, the current level of refiners in the mainland was established by the Gong family a long time ago, and it is still established by the Refiner Association. The resident directors, for example, this year's director is Gong Sanyue, the current patriarch of the Gong family.

Gong Si knows about this association, and they will have to take a grade test for this major in the future!The sophomore must pass the C level of the refiner, and the senior must pass the B level, otherwise they will not be allowed to graduate.

Gong Si vaguely remembered that the uncle seemed to have the craftsman's certificate from this association, but he didn't remember the level. He just saw the small book of the craftsman's certificate when he helped the uncle organize things, but he didn't open it. but--

Uncle is a refiner who can use his skills to give S-level Frostfall refiners long before he gets his own fire. After refining, he can fully increase the registration of Frostfall from S-level to SS-level!For this alone, Gong Si felt that his uncle must be better than the old man in front of him!

In short, the top refiners of the Gong family are all gathered at the headquarters, and those below the A level will be assigned to each refiner hall. Only the A rank is eligible to become the head of the hall. It is grade B.

No wonder the smelting major requires students to pass the B-level test to graduate. At least in Puzhou, if they can’t reach the B-level, they can’t find a job. The school is doing it for the employment rate of its own major. thought about it.

Completely different from the imagined traditional refiner family, the Gong family in Puzhou has become a large-scale enterprise. The entire refiner workshop is not so much a refiner room as a modern factory workshop. The parts they are good at assign tasks to them, and the large tasks are divided according to each person's proficiency. Since all the "fires" used by all the refiners are of the same kind, this makes their collaborative work more seamless. Under the leadership of the old man Next, they not only visited the various factories in the headquarters, the small room is only for one refiner to work, and the large workshop can even accommodate a hundred refiners to work at the same time. In that room, they also saw a huge The refining furnace!Bigger than Gong Yi!

Really... a modern craftsman—Gong Si could only sigh with emotion in the end.

It can't be said that this is not good. This kind of refining method has greatly reduced the error rate and greatly improved work efficiency. The reason why Puzhou people's life is so convenient is because there is such a refining factory, but Gong Si always felt that this was not the refining weapon he had imagined.

After visiting the Gong family, Gong Si has completely lost interest in their family.

He thought that if it was the Gong family from the era of Gong Yi, Gong Er, and Gong San, it might be more suitable for him to come and visit.

Taking them on a tour of the headquarters as a whole, the old man took them back to his office. It was a fairly spacious house, just upstairs from the hall where they ate at the beginning. Half of the walls were covered with glass windows. The design of the entire office The gorgeous atmosphere is full of modern atmosphere. Gong Si saw the latest conceptual electronic equipment in the old man's office. If it weren't for the many exquisite utensils on the museum shelf, he probably would not have guessed that it was an ancient refining equipment. The room of the patriarch of the Shi family.

Too up-to-date--he thought.

"How is it? After visiting our working environment, as a partner, what's your opinion on our side?" The old man's next tone was also very commercial, and Gongsi was even less interested in their next conversation. .

"It's good, it's completely different from what I imagined." Negotiations or something, this is Xiliu's special time.

Still sitting next to the stream, the palace’s attention has shifted to the museum shelf on the left. Of course, it’s not the utensils transformed by humans, but just ordinary utensils. No, it’s too rude to say ordinary utensils. It is a boutique, with a beautiful shape, no theme, everything, vases, copper pots, knives, guns, dolls... the exhibits on it are all extremely detailed, which is not what the palace thinks The reason why these utensils are not ordinary is that he faintly felt in these utensils what he felt on the kitchen knife made by his uncle!

Attention was completely captured by these exhibits, Gong Si couldn't help standing up, went straight to the museum shelf, and carefully observed these exquisite works of art.

The old man noticed his behavior and nodded to Gong Si who was standing behind him, and Gong Si walked towards Gong Si with an indifferent face.

"This is a dagger made by Master Gong Yi." Seeing Gong Si's attention resting on a small dagger on the knife holder above, Gong Sisheng introduced.

"Sure enough." Gong Si nodded.

Gong Si frowned slightly, he didn't understand how Gong Si's words came out, but he didn't mean to chat with Gong Si, he just started explaining dutifully, wherever Gong Si saw, He just followed wherever he went, like an auto-moving explainer.

↑

Of course, this was what Gong Si had in mind.

Although he knew that he would not invite Gong Si to see him, but the other party worked hard to explain it to him, and the explanation was very detailed. Gong Si accepted his affection and ignored his attitude. It was just a piece of exhibit Looking at it, I still don't forget to draw these lines carefully in my heart. Gong Si thinks that he must remember as soon as possible, and try to draw a picture when he goes back. I am afraid that these things can only be seen in the Gong family. There are so many master-level good things , I am afraid that only the Gong family can display so many at once!

He looked so carefully that he didn't even reveal the exhibit at the bottom of the display shelf. In order to see the exhibit at the bottom, he even squatted down to look at it.

Gong Si squatted beside him with an indifferent face.

"Huh? This is..." In the most inconspicuous corner, Gong Si saw a crutch.

The cane made of metal, without any engraved pattern on it, is just an ordinary cane. Gong Si squatted there to observe for a while, then turned to look at Gong Si: "Can I take it? If not, forget it. "

"Yes." Gong Si hugged his knees and said with a straight face.

Gong Si really picked up the cane, weighed it, looked at it, nodded after a while, and put it back to its original place.

"Which master made this?" Gong Si turned to look at him again without hearing Gong Si's introduction.

"...This... is just a cane made by an ordinary palace family." Gong Si finally said.

After the visit, the palace looked at the masterpieces full of awe again, feeling deeply that I did not come in vain today.

And when he sat back beside Xiliu again, the negotiation between the old man and Xiliu had reached the final stage.

"Thank you very much for your additional investment. Once this project is successfully developed, I believe your status in the Ji family will be greatly improved. After all, Sheyun Ji went to the New World this time to participate in the new energy mining plan. They are just about to mine , and we have indeed found an energy mine here, and the reserves are very large." The old man smiled and put away a contract. At this time, the old man smiled shrewdly, completely different from the kind elder just now.

However, I thought how detailed the information he collected was, but it turned out that he only collected half of it. He only knew that Xiliu was from the Ji family, but he didn't figure out the relationship between Xiliu and Sheyun Ji.Like Peiyun Ji, Xiliu is the illegitimate son or even the illegitimate grandson of Sheyun Ji, right?

"A little deeper than that, he knew that I was Sekumo's older brother, but he just thought that I was taken over by Sekumo while I was sleeping. ’ Stream suddenly interjected in his mind.

Glancing at the stream, Gong Si thought that he should be able to stand up now.

Then, at this moment, Xiliu continued to talk with a smile: "Before making the payment, I want to meet our fourth partner, the director of the Puzhou Economic Promotion Bureau, the head of the Gong family... I will I have seen it, but the discoverer of new energy has not seen it yet. I heard that he is guarding the mine in the New World? I am a generous spender, but I am also a bit of a fuss. Anyone who cooperates with me The object must be seen with one's own eyes."

He said, pointing to his nose: "My nose is very useful. I can smell from my nose whether it will make money to cooperate with the other party."

The old man laughed a few times. He knew that Xiliu's words were just a joke, but he really wanted to see the other party, and he also heard the firmness in the other party's words. Don't look at the other party's words, which seem to focus on the back, in fact, at the beginning He declared the condition——

"Before payment"

The old man heard the hidden conditions of the stream: to make a payment, one must meet that person, and never make a payment without seeing the other party.

Although Xiliu was smiling, he would never underestimate this young man after all the fighting.

Well, the other party's actual age may be about the same as his own, but counting the time spent sleeping, it is rare for the other party to be really young but experienced.

There is no comparison with this one at home - after a habitual glance at Gong Si, the old man turned his gaze to the stream again.

He was thinking.

As the person who first dealt with that person, he knew what the other party's discovery meant to them, and the fewer people who knew the other party, the more likely this secret would be known.

That's right, energy can be shared, and that's what they're going to do next - promote this energy.But he wanted to hide the person who discovered the energy as much as possible. The longer he was the spokesperson of the other party in contact with the outside world, the longer he could hold the right to speak.

Even the Puzhou Economic Promotion Bureau, he didn't let them get in touch with "that person".

"That person" - he was firmly in his hands.

but--

What this mining plan lacks now is the money in Xiliu's hands.

The Ji family, he knew, was the oldest family in Jizhou. Judging from Xiliu's behavior of giving out such a large sum of money without blinking an eye, he must have inherited a large sum of money from the family.Once, as he said, if the other party becomes the next patriarch of the Ji family, his power must be greater and he can help himself more...

What's more, he is the ruler, and his weapon is Ji Zhou's new generation Zhu Rong!

The most yearned-for Zhu Rong of all ages of refiners!

Besides, he's still—

The old man weighed it quickly, and then made a decision.

"I can let you see him." He said with a smile, since he agreed, he agreed quickly.

"However, it will take a while. He is still in the Black Earth Continent. It will take time to come back."

"About two weeks, May [-]th." The old man raised a palm, his eyes were full, and he affirmed to the stream: "May [-]th is the day he and I made an appointment to bring a new batch of energy back. I will host a banquet at home to entertain you, and I will also invite people from the Puzhou Economic Promotion Bureau, and we will have a meeting together, which is also a celebration of our official cooperation from now on."

He really can't estimate Xiliu's economic strength, and besides, he is the ruler with his own Zhu Rong. In order to prevent the other party from really surpassing him, and to have a deeper cooperation with "that person" directly, the old man chose to promote Puzhou's economy. The game is also closed.

In this way, he is still the big head.

Xiliu smiled slightly, and he understood the old man's meaning as soon as he heard it, but what's the matter?

It is enough to achieve the purpose.

"Then I'll go back and raise funds. After all, it's a lot of money..." Xiliu smiled and stood up from the big sofa. This time, the old man personally sent them to the palace.

Ah Qiang and Xie Kai had already received the notification, and they waited at the gate of the palace with the team. When Xiliu and Gongsi were inside to accept the hospitality of the master of the palace and visit the factory, they naturally had entertainers, and the housekeeper of the palace also entertained them. I visited them, but there is no tour itinerary.

"It's a pleasure to meet you two." Standing on the steps of the palace gate with his hands tied, the old man smiled and watched them get into the car.

As the patriarch of the palace family, he could just send it here, but he sent his grandson to send the stream and the palace to the car door.

Although he was in a cold state from beginning to end, Gong Si still silently carried out his grandfather's instructions. After Gong Si was the last one to get on the bus, he bowed politely. Gong Si thought that this was the end of him, but unexpectedly, Just after he saluted and straightened up, before closing the car door for Gongsi, Gongsi heard him suddenly lower his voice and say to himself:

"Just now, why did you look at that cane for so long? There are so many utensils lying there and you didn't ask to pick it up. Just that cane..."

Gong Si raised his eyes and looked at him: "Because that stick looks very special!"

"It looks very ordinary, but it looks like a weapon." Gong Si said, and habitually rolled his eyes: "I can't tell, but the things on the display shelf seem to be made with my uncle. For something similar, my uncle is the most powerful craftsman in my heart! When I asked you later, it really—"

"I also have the cane, but I can't see its special features just from the outside. I thought I might need to pick it up to have a look. Sure enough, as soon as I picked it up, I found that the cane was very light, and it was very light in my hand. Just like growing in the hand, the handle becomes as warm as body temperature when you hold it, this is a well-designed cane, without any fancy design, all the mind is on the practicality of the cane.”

"In my opinion, this stick is also an excellent tool." Gong Si said.

Then, Gong Si saw Gong Si's mouth open, he thought the other party was going to say something to him, but the other party just closed the door.

The moment the door was closed, Gong Si vaguely saw the other party's lips move, as if the other party had said something to him...

Thank you...?

Gong Si recalled the shape of the other party's lips and guessed.

Was it he who made the stick?

Thinking of the polished cane that can only be described as caring, and thinking of the other party's indifferent face, this time, Gong Si thought that the other party might not be a very annoying person.

A person who can make such a caring cane will not be a bad person.
