Chapter 212 Please Call Me Assassin Code Name 80
"I heard that the Aodu Chamber of Commerce manages the assassin industry in Mingdu?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"Yes, there are quite a few assassin guilds affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce. It can be said that all the famous assassins in Mingdu are under the management of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce," Wang Yu said proudly.
"Sounds good, managing all the famous assassins, right?" Ye Nanxiao asked, putting on a standard smile.
"I wonder if a killer as skilled as Mr. Mu Shiyi would be interested in doing some side jobs?" Wang Yu said with a smile, while taking out a piece of paper and placing it on the table.
"Hmm? The Chamber of Commerce takes a 20% commission for each job? And the Chamber of Commerce in Mingdu even provides safe locations for transactions? It seems that the Aodu Chamber of Commerce treats assassins quite well. No wonder they control the entire assassin industry in Mingdu." Ye Nanxiao glanced at the contents of the paper.
"Yes, since Mr. Mu thinks our offer is good, then I'll be frank. Our vice president would like to ask Mr. Mu to help oversee the second arena, and the offer is three times what was just stated on the paper." Wang Yu proposed hiring Ye Nanxiao in Li Yuanren's name. As Li Yuanren's confidant, Wang Yu had this authority.
"Was it your vice president who invited me, or the Aodu Chamber of Commerce?" Ye Nanxiao revealed a meaningful smile.
Wang Yu laughed and exclaimed, "Mr. Mu is indeed clever. Unlike the first arena, the second arena doesn't have a top-tier referee in charge. Top-tier referees only come to oversee things when needed."
"The Aodu Chamber of Commerce, which controls several underground industry chains in Mingdu, is incredibly wealthy. They must have a considerable number of top-tier judges," Ye Nanxiao thought.
"There must be quite a few top-tier referees, right? Can't you spare anyone to oversee the competition?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"This is the Chamber of Commerce's secret. What do you think, Mr. Mu?" Wang Yu asked with a smile.
Ye Nanxiao widened his eyes slightly, looked into Wang Yu's eyes, and said, "Oh? I'm an assassin, you know. Aren't you afraid I'll double-cross you by having an assassin as the referee?"
"I'm not worried about that. You'll understand once you meet the vice president," Wang Yu said confidently.
Wang Yu stood up, walked to the door, and said to Ye Nanxiao, "Please follow me."
Ye Nanxiao followed Wang Yu to VIP room number three in the arena. Wang Yu tapped the glass a few times, and a screen came down.
Sitting on the soft sofa, Ye Nanxiao put his legs on the table in front of the sofa and sank into the sofa.
Wang Yu ignored Ye Nanxiao's actions and stood aside waiting for the screen communication.
As the image appeared on the screen, a voice followed.
"I presume this young friend is the genius who helped me defeat Xiao Nanye in the competition?" A kind-faced, fat man dressed in luxurious clothes appeared on the screen.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Yuanren, and I am one of the vice presidents of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce." When Li Yuanren smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits, and with his chubby figure, he looked like a kind and honest fat landlord.
"My name is Mu Shiyi. I'm an assassin, a professional one at that. My code name is 80," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
"Presumably, Mr. Mu has already dealt with Xiao Nanye. To be able to defeat Xiao Nanye, Mr. Mu's skill with his soul tools is truly astonishing. Since Wang Yu brought Mr. Mu to see me, I presume Mr. Mu intends to serve as a referee in my arena?"
"Based on my understanding of Xiao Nanye, this guy has endless ways to save his life. Perhaps he is secretly gathering strength to come back and fight again. Xiao Nanye, you must have caused Vice President Li a lot of losses, right?" Ye Nanxiao took out a gold soul coin and flipped it between his fingers.
"Mr. Mu, do you mean Xiao Nanye will make a comeback? Oh dear, this is really worrying. I wonder if Mr. Mu can help me out?" Li Yuanren scratched his head and said with a simple smile.
"Xiao Nanye is at least a level seven Soul Master, and he's also my enemy, but my profession is an assassin." Ye Nanxiao said, playing with the gold soul coin in his hand, word by word.
"Oh? Nobody said assassins can't be referees, right?" Li Yuanren put his right hand behind his back and stroked his carefully groomed mustache with the other.
"Sure, but it'll cost extra!" Ye Nanxiao flicked the gold soul coin in his hand. After spinning a few times in the air, the gold soul coin landed steadily in Ye Nanxiao's palm.
"I understand, I understand. I wonder what Mr. Mu thinks about the double treatment for a top referee?" Li Yuanren offered his bargaining chip.
"With this amount of Soul Forging Silver, I'll report to the arena immediately." Ye Nanxiao stretched out his hand, his five fingers spread wide.
"Okay!" After a brief moment of thought, Li Yuanren agreed to Ye Nanxiao's asking price.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you." Ye Nanxiao nodded with a smile.
"It's a pleasure working with you, Mr. Mu Shiyi," Li Yuanren nodded and smiled.
In fact, Li Yuanren had already prepared for Mu Shiyi to refuse. In order to protect his arena, he had privately contacted many Soul Masters, and Ye Nanxiao was just the first Soul Master to agree.
The news that Mu Shiyi had become the referee of Arena Two spread quickly throughout the underground Soul Master community in Mingdu, and many Soul Masters set their sights on Arena Two.
Neither the Ordinary Alliance nor the Evening Water Alliance reacted to this. Shangguan Wei'er was overwhelmed by the sudden series of events involving the Sun Moon Royal Family and had no energy left to pay attention.
Although the Xi Shui Alliance was paying attention to Xiao Nanye, a Soul Master, their attention was not significant. They had more important things to do, and since Xiao Nanye was only involved in the Aodu Chamber of Commerce's competition, the Xi Shui Alliance was happy to gloat.
Meanwhile, within the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, there are significant developments.
The other two vice presidents secretly sent many Soul Masters to Arena 2 to test Mu Shiyi's strength.
-
"Old Wang, can Soul Masters challenge the referees?" Ye Nanxiao asked Wang Yu, who was standing next to him, pointing to the Soul Masters below.
"Take off your referee uniform and badge, and you're no longer a referee, are you?" Wang Yu laughed.
"I like what you said. I know someone named Zhang San who said the same thing." Ye Nanxiao grinned, took off his referee uniform, and walked onto the competition field.
"Lord Mu Shiyi, please!" said the leading Soul Master, whose face was half-covered by a mask.
After selecting several pieces of rare metal, Ye Nanxiao took out his sketchbook and began drawing blueprints.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao start drawing design blueprints on the spot, the masked Soul Master snorted coldly, picked up the rare metal and began to carve like a whirlwind, changing the shape of the rare metal piece by piece under a gray carving knife.
The others who followed the masked Soul Master also began carving Soul Tools.
After the mask-making master finished making the outer shell, Ye Nanxiao slowly picked up a piece of rare metal and began to make his own.
"Isn't this a bit too disrespectful?" The masked Soul Master's eyes were filled with hostility, but the purpose of this competition was to test Mu Shiyi's Soul Master level, so even if he was dissatisfied, he could only swallow it.
In fact, in order not to expose his usual production habits, Ye Nanxiao deliberately imitated the way purple wood was made from his memory, which inevitably slowed down his speed.
Wang Yu observed Ye Nanxiao's crafting techniques with some confusion. He remembered that Ye Nanxiao had been quite fast at crafting soul tools before. "Why is his technique different this time? Could it be that this Mu Shiyi knows multiple crafting methods?"
A Soul Master secretly recorded Ye Nanxiao's crafting techniques while mixed in with the competition. He held a small square Soul Tool in his left hand and pressed his fingers on it rhythmically.
"Should we make the outer shell first? Or carve the core magic array first? Oh well, it doesn't matter which way we go. These people are probably just testing us. Let's just play around with them." Ye Nanxiao's hands began to move faster, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
The masked Soul Master had already completed the creation of the Soul Tool and was silently watching Ye Nanxiao make it.
He picked up two rare metals with his left hand, melted them into molten iron with his soul power, and set them aside for later use. He then began to carve the core magic array. After the carving was completed, he placed the outer shell into the molten iron.
Wang Yu was dumbfounded. Ye Nanxiao's production method was beyond his comprehension. From the moment Ye Nanxiao completed the step of carving the core magic array, Wang Yu had no idea what Ye Nanxiao was doing in all the subsequent steps.
It wasn't just Wang Yu who had doubts; even the Soul Masters and referees who were watching had questions.
Soon, the prototype of a greatsword appeared in Ye Nanxiao's hand.
When the masked Soul Master saw Ye Nanxiao stuff a cannon barrel and eight core magic arrays into the middle of the sword, he looked down at the dagger he had just made and suddenly felt that he should directly make a powerful defensive Soul Guidance Device.
As Ye Nanxiao inserted the ninth core array component into the cannon barrel, the masked Soul Master's right eyelid twitched violently twice, and he secretly swallowed.
"Big brother, I think we can run now." A Soul Master walked behind the masked Soul Master and whispered, "He carved nine core magic arrays in just one hour. Judging from the looks of them, they're at least level five or higher. This is a monster!"
"Don't panic! Don't lose your composure. Here's what we'll do: you take the brothers and go first, I'll stay and keep watching!" The masked Soul Master casually tossed the Soul Guidance Device he had made onto the Soul Guidance Metal Table, crossed his arms, and sat down against the table.
"Brother! We'll take our leave then!" The Soul Master brought his crafted Soul Tool to the referee's table, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "We are ashamed to admit that Mu Shiyi's Soul Tool skill is inferior to ours. We concede defeat in this match!"
Wang Yu put on a standard smile and saw the group off. Turning around, he saw that only Ye Nanxiao and the Soul Master wearing a mask remained on the field.
Ye Nanxiao picked up two rare metals again and compressed them. After carving them, he turned around and picked up two more rare metals to carve. He picked up the first compressed rare metal and placed the other two rare metals on it. The core magic array patterns on the three metals could be connected together. The metal joints were seamless, and there was no trace that the three metals were spliced together.
"A core array spliced together?" Wang Yu was now completely convinced by Ye Nanxiao. A spliced core array not only requires superb carving skills, but also quite high-level Soul Master skills and knowledge.
"Could it be that Mu Shiyi has already stepped into the threshold of an eighth-level Soul Master?" Wang Yu pondered in distress. He himself was only a seventh-level Soul Master, and he was still far from reaching the threshold of an eighth-level Soul Master.
In reality, Ye Nanxiao's overall level has not yet reached that of an eighth-level Soul Master; he only has an extremely high level of understanding of core magic arrays.
