Hello, My Name Is Duan Changde

If they talked about cooperation right away, Feng Ling would most likely refuse.

However, if he talked about joining first before discussing cooperation, Feng Ling's resistance would be less.

He immediately said, "There are guest elders in ancient sects and guest professors in modern universities. The way the Peaceful Spirit Bureau and the Master Forger cooperate is also according to this method."

"The Serenity Bureau provides materials, rewards, and guarantees. The Master Forger only needs to focus on forging in peace. Both sides are completely equal. All responsibilities and obligations are written in the terms."

When Feng Ling heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. "Chief Chen, you came prepared."

Chen Baisheng also laughed. "Only by being prepared can we seize the opportunity."

These words were very heavy. The word "opportunity" showed Chen Baisheng's attitude.

"Alright, in that case, if I refuse, I'll seem ungrateful. However…"

Feng Ling said seriously, "There's no problem with cooperation, but I'm not sure I'm up to your standards."

"How about this? Let's find a time tomorrow. I'll bring the weapon I forged, and you guys can bring some experts. It won't be too late to cooperate after we study it in detail."

Chen Baisheng extended his thumb and praised, "How meticulous!"

"So that's a deal? First thing in the morning?"

"Eight-thirty tomorrow morning. I'll welcome you with open arms!"

"Alright!" Chen Baisheng was in a good mood. "Then we won't disturb Little Friend Feng's business. Goodbye."

After watching Chen Baisheng and the others leave, Feng Ling sat back down behind the counter. Her fingers gently tapped on the table as she pondered the pros and cons of this matter.

The biggest drawback of working with the Peaceful Spirit Bureau was that he was weak. If something bad happened, it would be difficult for him to have the capital to fall out with them.

However, such problems usually did not appear in the early stages. Moreover, the probability of such a situation happening in official organizations was very small.

As for the benefits, they were also obvious.

Now that the situation was chaotic, the combat group of the Peaceful Spirit Bureau should be very busy. This meant that there would be a large number of battles every day.

If these combatants were all equipped with weapons that they had forged, then…

His improvement speed would probably be several times faster.

Moreover, the Peaceful Spirit Bureau had an official background. If they could reach a cooperation, he would have fewer worries in certain aspects. Many things could also be directly brought to the surface.

On the whole, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

…

Chen Baisheng and the others, who had left the Armament Workshop, were about to get into the car when Zeng Shiwu stopped in his tracks. He grabbed his earpiece with a serious expression and said "Okay, okay" a few times before looking at Chen Baisheng.

"Deputy Director, someone's looking for you."

She took off the headset and handed it over.

"Who is it?" Chen Baisheng asked.

"Minister Duan."

Chen Baisheng's hand trembled as he hurriedly took the earpiece and put it on.

"Minister Duan?"

"Hello, I'm Duan Changde."

After ending the call, Chen Baisheng stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds before laughing out loud.

"Deputy Director…"

"From now on, Feng Ling's security clearance in Mu Liang City will be raised to Grade A. Get in the car and go back to draft the contract!" Chen Baisheng ordered solemnly.

"Uh…" Lin Pin opened his mouth but swallowed all the words.

Seeing Chen Baisheng's current appearance and thinking about the name "Minister Duan" just now, he somewhat understood.

How many ministers in China could make Chen Baisheng change so much?

They did not dare to guess the identity of the person who could make Minister Duan call personally.

But there was no doubt that Wood Liang City was going to be lucky!

However, he could not mention Minister Duan in front of Feng Ling. Did he have any grudges?

'Enmmm…'

Instantly, a storm began to surge in the minds of the people present.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave!" Chen Baisheng hurriedly urged when he saw their stunned expressions.

"Yes!"

…

The sun was rising in the east, purple clouds filling the air.

Feng Ling stood in the courtyard. His every breath contained a certain pattern.

The bronze patterns circled around his body, and five cauldrons appeared intermittently. They were improving.

In his sea of consciousness, the "Equipment Strategy" flipped to a certain page. A Eastern Purple Qi was reflecting the eastern sky and slowly outlined.

After a long time, Feng Ling wiped the sweat off his forehead and ended his cultivation for the day.

But Feng Ling was in no hurry to go out.

The Pig Slaughtering Knife had been destroyed in the battle with Bai Yi. He had never reforged it.

Since he happened to be discussing cooperation with Chen Baisheng today, he might as well forge a new Pig Slaughtering Knife.

It just so happened that he wanted to see what level his forging skills had reached.

He asked Nine Rings to prepare the materials. After breakfast, Feng Ling took off her shirt and went into battle bare-chested.

When they arrived at the forging room, the temperature of the fire had already risen. Without hesitation, Feng Ling started to melt the iron.

The iron was melted into a liquid state by the high temperature, further removing the impurities and making it easier for the wind feathers to add other materials.

The temperature rose again, and the entire furnace rumbled. Feng Ling's body was already covered in sweat.

However, he did not do anything else at this moment. He let the sweat flow down the lines of his muscles and drip onto the ground before evaporating.

He was very focused, following every step in his mind.

Casting was not easy. There could not be any mistakes in the preparation stage at this time, especially the ratio of the materials, which directly affected the quality of the final product.

Finally, the furnace began to cool, and the liquid molten iron began to condense.

Back when he designed the Pig Slaughtering Knife, Feng Ling's goal was to kill pigs and chickens.

Therefore, the shattered Pig Slaughtering Knife was sharp but not tough enough. Its overall quality was inferior to the Bull Slaying Knife forged with the ring-headed knife as the prototype.

Now that it had been recast, the Feng Ling had been redesigned to make the blade a tenth shorter, allowing the new Pig Slaughtering Knife to rank among the short knives.

It would be more agile and more suitable for dangerous combat.

The molten solidified, and Feng Ling began to forge.

This step was of the utmost importance.

The success of forging an instrument, regardless of the quality of the materials, was the core of the forging process.

Different forging techniques would create different quality instruments.

The sledgehammer continued to fall. Unlike the Nine Rings' pure hammering of materials, Nine Rings' hammer technique had an unique pattern.

If you listened carefully, you would notice that it was like a breath.

During the hammering process, Feng Ling fused her own breath into the hammer technique and entered to fuse it into the Pig Slaughtering Knife.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Feng Ling's movements were as smooth as flowing water. His entire body was like a repetitive dynamic diagram. The only thing that changed was the Pig Slaughtering Knife that was gradually taking shape on the forging table.

Finally, with a whoosh, the Pig Slaughtering Knife was completed.

Feng Ling held it in his hand and slashed at a metal frame beside him.

Sizzle ~

Four millimeter-thick iron sheets were cut open, leaving a deep knife mark on the fifth.

"Not bad. When used by ordinary adults, it can barely achieve the effect of breaking through five armors. If it were another expert, they should be able to reach the state of breaking through seven to eight armors. However, that level of long-term collision will leave wear and tear on the blade…"
