Seeing Fei Si sent Zhu Xuanji away, but he didn't leave, instead turning back to the Flying Disc Workshop.

He stared at Chen Cha and Unlike Ning Zhuo, then focused his gaze on Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Suddenly, he released his Jin Dan pressure.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was caught off guard and was pressed to his knees.

Chen Cha was shocked: "Lord Seeing Fei Si, you are..."

Seeing Fei Si sneered: "Recently, the Monkey Head Gang has suffered multiple blows, and more than 30% of their monkey pets have been poisoned."

"After questioning, it was discovered that someone spared no expense to acquire wild monkeys a long time ago. Even on the black market, they offered heavy rewards for the lives of the Monkey Head Gang's monkey pets."

"Not only that, Yuan Er, the current leader of the Monkey Head Gang, was assassinated. The assassin was very arrogant, even sending a death letter before the assassination. Although the assassination failed because of this, Yuan Er has been scared out of his wits and only squats in the gang's station, never going out again."

Seeing Fei Si stared at Unlike Ning Zhuo: "Did you do all these things?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was almost pressed to the ground by the huge Jin Dan pressure. He was pale, covered in cold sweat, trying his best to resist this pressure, and barely opened his mouth: "Lord Seeing Fei Si, if you ask me like this, I will definitely deny it."

"I have already brought out new mechanical monkeys, using new drawings, and can manufacture more in a short time, which can fully meet this demand!"

Seeing Fei Si raised his brows slightly and turned to look at Chen Cha.

Chen Cha was worried about Unlike Ning Zhuo's life and hurriedly nodded: "Lord Seeing Fei Si, it is like this. It's just that the new mechanical monkeys have reduced a lot of materials and processes, and the quality has fallen seriously, making it difficult to maintain for a long time."

Seeing Fei Si pursued: "Can they pick fire persimmons?"

Chen Cha nodded: "There is no problem with this."

Seeing Fei Si's face softened, and he gradually withdrew his Jin Dan pressure. He looked down at Unlike Ning Zhuo: "Get up."

"Thank you, my lord." Unlike Ning Zhuo staggered to his feet, covered in cold sweat, his lips bitten, nosebleed flowing again, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing Fei Si pointed at Unlike Ning Zhuo: "You have some cleverness, Unlike Ning Zhuo, right? I'll remember you."

Ning Zhuo immediately showed a trace of joy: "To be remembered by the lord is what a great honor it is for this humble one. This humble one is willing to guarantee with his head that this time he will definitely manufacture enough mechanical monkeys to meet the picking needs of the Fire Rock Festival."

Seeing Fei Si said "um," quite satisfied with Unlike Ning Zhuo's statement, and his attitude softened a bit more.

Unlike Ning Zhuo continued: "My lord, according to the new drawings I designed, to make mechanical monkeys, it is best to take materials from monkeys."

"Didn't the Monkey Head Gang die a lot of monkey pets? We just need these monkey corpses for raw materials."

"I hope the lord will approve!"

Hearing these words, Seeing Fei Si couldn't help narrowing his eyes and re-evaluating Unlike Ning Zhuo.

He reached out and stroked his beard, feeling a bit of appreciation for Unlike Ning Zhuo in his heart: "This kid is young, but his heart is vicious; he wants to put the Monkey Head Gang to death."

"He sees it very clearly: the business of fire-exploding monkeys is based on picking fire persimmons. And the Monkey Head Gang is holding this business. So, he wants to topple the Monkey Head Gang."

"He wants to borrow my power to demand monkey corpses. Can Yuan Er not give them? But if he gives them, what about the leader's prestige?"

"Has a mind, has means."

"Like me, like when I was young."

If Unlike Ning Zhuo had Jin Dan cultivation, no, even if it were Foundation Establishment cultivation, Seeing Fei Si would feel wary.

But Unlike Ning Zhuo is only Qi Refining, still a teenager. This makes Seeing Fei Si have no pressure.

Thinking of this, Seeing Fei Si showed a smile with an unknown meaning: "This matter is interesting. How much money do you think should be used to acquire monkey corpses from the Monkey Head Gang?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't even think about it and said directly: "This humble one is willing to give up 40% of the revenue. From now on, 40% of the revenue from fire-exploding monkey mechanisms will be yours, my lord!"

Seeing Fei Si pretended not to understand: "What does this have to do with me?"

Ning Zhuo immediately said: "Lord Fei Si, you are the parent official of our Fire Rock Immortal City; what matter can have nothing to do with you?"

"On the contrary, the Monkey Head Gang, with blood on their hands, sucking the people's fat and ointment, yet doesn't know how to repay kindness."

"They should make more contributions to our Fire Rock Immortal City and think more for the parent official, Lord Fei Si."

"Those monkeys are all dead, they will only bury them. It's better to give them to us to use, to solve the problem for the Fire Rock Festival, and to add bricks and tiles to Fire Rock Immortal City!"

Seeing Fei Si laughed loudly, pointing at Unlike Ning Zhuo, his index finger pointing repeatedly: "Not bad, Unlike Ning Zhuo, your awareness is very high, very good, you are a good seedling of the righteous path!"

"I will let my subordinates go and demand them, and let them send the monkey corpses to you."

Unlike Ning Zhuo bowed deeply: "Thank you, my lord."

Chen Cha, on the side, witnessed all this, his expression very complex.

After Seeing Fei Si left, Unlike Ning Zhuo faced Chen Cha, his expression sincere: "Old Chen, I'm sorry. I have to do this!"

Chen Cha sighed, unable to hide his resentment: "Since Lord Seeing Fei Si has approved, what else can I say?"

He hated this kind of cutting corners and short-weighting behavior from the bottom of his heart.

This is purely for profit, not respecting his own mechanical works, which is equivalent to not respecting himself.

Chen Cha's emotional reaction was within Unlike Ning Zhuo's expectations.

The young cultivator had a response long ago and said immediately: "Old Chen, next, I will come to the workshop more. I also want to participate in the manufacture of mechanical monkeys!"

"After all, I just used my head to guarantee to Lord Seeing Fei Si."

Mentioning this, a look of worry appeared on Chen Cha's face: "Brother Ning, you are taking too much risk by doing this."

"Don't make such random guarantees in the future. What if there is an accident and you can't finish it?"

"You have the identity of a Ning family member, no need to make guarantees. Even, even if it is Lord Seeing Fei Si, he is also worried about causing trouble."

But Unlike Ning Zhuo clenched his fists and interrupted Chen Cha's words: "Old Chen, if I don't guarantee, how can I show my attitude, how can I enter the eyes of Lord Seeing Fei Si?"

"The matter of mechanical fire-exploding monkeys made me understand."

"I understand, this is a world of power! Even if it is something I invented, this layer of glory will be easily snatched away by others."

Old Chen was stunned, and then a deep sense of guilt emerged, and he was about to speak.

Unlike Ning Zhuo interrupted: "I'm not blaming you, Old Chen, I know you were forced to do it."

"These days, I have studied the 'Curved Snake Spring Array Collection' and benefited a lot."

"Old Chen, I can understand."

"I thank you, thank you for giving me your array insights, and thank you for letting me learn the true face of this world."

"So, I want to climb!"

"I want to climb up, I want to become a person above others!"

"Only by climbing to a certain height can I defend my own interests. I want that in the future, no one can easily deprive me of my honor, and no one can take away my mechanical creations!!"

Chen Cha fell into silence.

Looking at the ambitious teenager in front of him with righteous words and flashing eyes, his heart was full of complex emotions.

He understood now, knew why Unlike Ning Zhuo had such a change in temperament.

He no longer resented, no longer hated, no longer looked down on Unlike Ning Zhuo. On the contrary, his heart was full of guilt and self-blame.

He knew: how pure the teenager in front of him once was, it was all him, it was all him, Chen Cha, who caused the teenager's change.

"Then what qualifications do I have to criticize him?" Chen Cha sighed in his heart.

He walked to Unlike Ning Zhuo and held Unlike Ning Zhuo's shoulder, "Little Zhuo! I have let you down. Since things have come to this, I will help you with all my might!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled.

When he heard Chen Cha change his address again, no longer calling him "Brother Ning," but returning to "Little Zhuo," he knew he had succeeded.
