Chapter 12: I, Unlike Ning Zhuo, am plain and unremarkable

Chen Cha, who was suspicious, asked Unlike Ning Zhuo several questions without a trace.

The questions involved many aspects, and those who were not the true makers could not answer them.

This naturally couldn't stump Unlike Ning Zhuo.

After an exchange, Chen Cha dispelled his doubts, and his heart couldn't help but shake: "This was actually designed and made by him?"

"Isn't he a disciple of the Ning clan? The Ning clan is long on talismans; when did they become so skilled in mechanical art, actually cultivating such an excellent youth cultivator?"

"Developing according to this, this child will definitely become a great talent!"

Chen Cha looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo with complete admiration, his interest was extremely strong, and he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

Unlike Ning Zhuo said: "This year's big exam, junior has already left the school life. Senior has eyes like torches; junior is indeed very interested in mechanical art and has always been very interested. On weekdays, I will try my best to collect some books and learn privately. It has nothing to do with the Ning clan school."

Chen Cha stroked his beard and asked deliberately: "Among the hundred arts of cultivation, the upper four arts are alchemy, refining, talismans, and arrays. Mechanical art has fallen to the bottom among the hundred arts, and it is a bias among biases. Why do you like this path alone?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart moved instantly, realizing that this exchange had already reached the most critical moment!

His contact with Chen Cha this time was premeditated. Bringing out the mechanical monkey was exactly part of his plan.

The youth pondered for a while, his face turned solemn, and he said solemnly: "Junior believes that so-called cultivation is to cultivate the truth between heaven and earth. The hundred arts of cultivation are the application of these truths, and in essence, they are just tools."

"Alchemy is a tool, magic treasures and flying swords are also tools, and talismans and arrays are the same tools."

"Using these tools can better facilitate our cultivation and increase the success rate of various actions."

"And the ultimate of tools is not something else, but mechanical art!"

"A new material on a mechanical item is refined by alchemy. The structure of the mechanical item is shaped by refining techniques. The arrays and talismans on the mechanical item all involve the skills of arranging arrays and making talismans."

"An excellent mechanical creation is the clever combination of cultivation skills."

Having said this, Unlike Ning Zhuo paused: "As for why mechanical art has fallen to the bottom of the hundred arts and belongs to the side door, it is because it is difficult to learn and difficult to master, and the threshold is the highest!"

"On one hand, constructing mechanical items requires cultivators to master a variety of cultivation skills. Alchemy, refining, talismans, and setting arrays are all foundations. After mastering them, one must also select and combine from countless and numerous materials and technologies."

"On the other hand, designing mechanical items is even harder. It tests the cultivator's thinking, talent, inspiration, and imagination. A good design scheme might be something a cultivator spends more than ten years to complete. In this process, one is often stuck on a point and cannot make progress for many years."

"Only excellent design can have excellent mechanical creations."

Chen Cha heard this argument of Unlike Ning Zhuo, leaned back slightly, his eyes shining, sizing up the youth in front of him, and couldn't help but clap his hands: "Well said, well said!"

His attitude toward Unlike Ning Zhuo changed again.

From the previous appreciation and interest, it became the closeness to a like-minded person!

The interaction between people is wonderful. Some people are together day and night, but are the most familiar strangers. Some people are just communicating for the first time, but can resonate in spirit and agree in philosophy.

Chen Cha and Unlike Ning Zhuo chatted more and more speculatively, and the address between each other changed naturally.

Chen Cha affectionately called Unlike Ning Zhuo "Little Zhuo," and Unlike Ning Zhuo changed to call the other party "Old Chen."

For Unlike Ning Zhuo's questions, Chen Cha pondered for a moment and gave three sets of plans directly.

If it were normal, he would at most take out one set to solve the confusion. But facing Unlike Ning Zhuo, he didn't keep anything.

Unlike Ning Zhuo heard these three plans and immediately generated countless questions, asking them one by one.

Chen Cha answered them all, and his attitude toward answering was quite enthusiastic, and he had long thrown the consulting fees behind his head.

Unlike Ning Zhuo continued to put forward opinions and modified these three plans.

Chen Cha couldn't help but immerse himself in the process of exploring with like-minded people, feeling very happy.

In the discussion between the two, the plan was quickly improved and optimized, and finally finalized as adding blood to the Fire Explosion Monkey, and arranging dynamic array bases in the blood to stabilize the muscle tissue, while the evaporation of blood dissipates heat, which can greatly alleviate the heat that the Fire Explosion Monkey bears.

Chen Cha judged: "According to my many years of experience, once the Fire Explosion Monkey hits the market, it will definitely be very popular."

"Little Zhuo, why don't you let my Flying Disc Workshop make the Fire Explosion Monkey."

"For you, how can you personally produce a large number of mechanical Fire Explosion Monkeys? You must entrust a workshop to manufacture them in large quantities."

"My Flying Disc Workshop has enough cultivators and equipment to meet your manufacturing needs."

"At the same time, I have operated in Fire Persimmon Immortal City for decades, have enough sales channels, and have some background in the City Lord's Mansion."

"On one hand, I can rely on relationships to achieve a certain degree of tax reduction, allowing you to earn more."

"On the other hand, this is also a kind of protection. Once the mechanical Fire Explosion Monkey comes out, it will seriously infringe on the interests of the Monkey Head Gang."

"This point needs to be prevented in advance."

Unlike Ning Zhuo blinked, pretending to be hesitant: "This..."

Chen Cha smiled, sincerely and earnestly said again: "Little Zhuo, I will tell you the truth."

"This is also extremely beneficial to me."

"My Flying Disc Workshop hasn't had any eye-catching products for many years. Your Fire Explosion Monkey just meets my urgent needs."

"The better the Fire Explosion Monkey sells in the future, the louder the reputation of my Flying Disc Workshop will be, and doing business will be more convenient."

"Therefore, the profits of the Fire Explosion Monkey, my workshop only takes three tenths. All manufacturing costs are completely borne by me!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo scratched his head: "Old Chen, I can feel your sincerity, it's just..."

Chen Cha stroked his beard: "No matter, such a big event, it must be carefully considered. Perhaps, Little Zhuo, you should ask your family. However, although the Ning clan is a great cultivation clan, it has no strength in the mechanical industry. Relying on the family to do this business is not good. Even, they are very likely to entrust a mechanical workshop to do it."

"The old man speaks the truth, Little Zhuo, you can go and inquire!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo waved his hand: "Old Chen, I lost my parents since I was young, and I lived in the house of my uncle and aunt. Now that I have graduated from school, I have completely left and live alone."

"I can make decisions about these things myself. I have never thought about letting the Ning clan control this mechanical Fire Explosion Monkey."

"I just have a small request."

Chen Cha: "Oh? Just say it."

Unlike Ning Zhuo: "I want to join your workshop, participate in various work of the mechanical workshop, and help me increase my experience. I also want to ask Old Chen for more advice. I have too many questions accumulated. As for the consulting fees, just deduct them from the proceeds of my Fire Explosion Monkey, how about that?"

Chen Cha laughed loudly: "Little Zhuo, being able to come to me is the blessing of the Flying Disc Workshop. I am very welcome!"

"According to your talent, just be the deputy workshop owner."

Unlike Ning Zhuo hurriedly waved his hand: "That won't do! Junior is shallow in learning and needs to learn and ask for advice. I am just a plain and unremarkable Ning clan youth; with my ability, how can I be a deputy workshop owner?"

"Plain and unremarkable? You, you are really too humble!" Chen Cha shook his head, sighing endlessly, mistakenly thinking it was the great family style of the Ning clan.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's true thoughts were exactly like this!

Chen Cha's previous criticism, he didn't think was wrong.

"The reason why Old Chen appreciates me so much and gives me courtesy should be because of the consulting business and the mechanical proceeds."

"I have only achieved small results in mechanical art, and many mechanical items in the mechanical secret record left by my mother, I cannot fully understand."

"Take designing the mechanical monkey, for example; I spent several years, stumbling along the way. This difficulty was solved by asking Old Chen."

"I still need more and greater progress in mechanical art."

Little did he know, Chen Cha's evaluation was never exaggerated in the slightest, completely based on reality, as well as rich life experience.

Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't know that these were all Chen Cha's sincere words.

On one hand, Unlike Ning Zhuo had been hiding his clumsiness, never having had such a like-minded exchange like today, and didn't know his accurate positioning.

On the other hand, Unlike Ning Zhuo followed his mother's dying instructions, always cautious and careful, and in order to hide his clumsiness, he had always been doing psychological construction.

Even if he achieved some achievements, he would try every means to criticize himself from all aspects, ensuring that he would not fall into the emotion of pride and complacency.

For fourteen years, he constantly told himself: I am plain and unremarkable, ordinary. Even if I did these, others could do them too. I still need to work hard, and must not be lazy...

Over time, countless persuasions made him form a very humble character, unable to see his own excellence, and from the bottom of his heart, he thought there was nothing great, and there were still many, many places where he needed to work hard.

Chen Cha had been trapped for many years, longing for a mechanical creation like the Fire Explosion Monkey, and had already been thinking about it day and night!

After reaching the cooperation agreement with Unlike Ning Zhuo, on that very day, he exhausted the power of the workshop, manufactured more than twenty mechanical monkeys, and put them into the market, starting to sell them.

That night, Unlike Ning Zhuo put the Fire Explosion Monkey arranged with the dynamic array into the furnace to perform roasting tests again.

"This time it is likely to be successful." Unlike Ning Zhuo had quite a bit of confidence in this.

His gaze was faint: "Chen Cha..."

Unlike Ning Zhuo had investigated Chen Cha for many years and knew quite a bit about the latter's temperament.

Just as Chen Cha's evaluation of Unlike Ning Zhuo was high, Unlike Ning Zhuo also had a high evaluation of Chen Cha.

"If there is no problem with this key link of the Fire Explosion Monkey, the next step is how to contact the Molten Xian Gong."

The Molten Xian Gong hides in the mountain body of Fire Persimmon Mountain, hidden in the heavy magma.

Unlike Ning Zhuo first needs to reach the mountain body of Fire Persimmon Mountain.

This path exists. First reach the top of Fire Persimmon Mountain, start from the crater, and drill into the Red Flame Demon Melting Cave. Choose a certain correct path from thousands of passages, and then continuously go deep, and you can reach the place where you can see the Molten Xian Gong.

"But if the Molten Xian Gong has problems after I drill the cave for the first time. This is not too conspicuous."

"After all, for so many years, I have never entered the Red Flame Demon Melting Cave. The behavior of suddenly entering the cave is abrupt."

"I should find a cover."

Thinking of this, the image of his uncle Ning Ze appeared in Unlike Ning Zhuo's mind.

For a time, a plan came to mind. ===== CHAPTER 13 =====

In an instant, a plan came to his mind.
