Chapter 566: New Extreme Emotion Sword Path

Looking at Director Gao's inquiry, Zhang Yu immediately thought of the instructions just given by Magnetic Pole True Lord.

But after thinking it over, he didn't reply to Director Gao according to Magnetic Pole True Lord's instructions; instead, he went to ask Magnetic Pole True Lord again.

Magnetic Pole True Lord: Old Gao is asking you?

Magnetic Pole True Lord: I understand. Leave him to me, you don't need to worry about it.

Inside the laboratory, the avatar of Magnetic Pole True Lord, while controlling the operation of the equipment and recording experimental data, pulled up Director Gao's avatar and began replying to the message.

Magnetic Pole True Lord: Old Gao, you don't need to concern yourself with the matter between me and Zhang Yu.

At the construction site, Director Gao, who was inspecting, stopped in his tracks.

Tuli Mountain beside him was slightly startled, and looking at Director Gao's grave expression, couldn't help saying, "Teacher?"

He looked around and said, "Is there a problem?"

The group of construction site leaders accompanying Director Gao on the inspection exchanged bewildered glances. Seeing Director Gao's expression grow increasingly solemn, they also became nervous.

At the same time, on Director Gao's communication interface, he replied: He's also my apprentice, how can I not be concerned?

Director Gao: Did you really use him for the experiment and infuse experience into him?

Director Gao: He's only a senior in college. Can he withstand you infusing so much experience? Why rush things?

Magnetic Pole True Lord: Rest assured, I understand Zhang Yu's constitution better than you do.

Magnetic Pole True Lord: He's very tough.

Director Gao: Magnetic Pole, the waves you two are stirring up are too big.

Magnetic Pole True Lord: Old Gao, this is the choice Zhang Yu and I made ourselves.

Magnetic Pole True Lord: You know? When he's in my lab, he's tougher, more enduring, and happier than when he's on your construction site.

Magnetic Pole True Lord: Want me to show you some photos of him forging artifacts?

At the construction site, safety officers, quality inspectors, construction workers, production managers, project managers... each one saw the increasingly stern expression on Director Gao's face and felt as if the air around them had grown heavy.

The next moment, Director Gao said coldly, "Why is it so messy here? Clean it up immediately."

"And what's with the building materials over there? Have they been inspected according to standards?"

"Where's the project manager? Why is this mana circuit exposed? I talk to you about safety regulations every day—was it all for nothing?"

Inside the laboratory.

Bei Wufeng also heard the news that Zhang Yu had won first place in the Design Competition.

This also reminded Bei Wufeng of the agreement he had made with Zhang Yu.

If originally, in Bei Wufeng's view, Zhang Yu had no chance of winning their bet for a spot on the school team, then the news of him winning first place in the Magic Tool Design Competition made Bei Wufeng's regard for Zhang Yu rise a few notches.

"But winning first place in the design competition as a senior..."

Bei Wufeng couldn't help thinking, "Could it be that the contestants in this competition were all lacking in strength?"

"Or is Zhang Yu's talent truly so earth-shattering? As a senior, he outshone all the prodigies from a hundred schools?"

Curiosity and interest stirred in his heart, and he began to use his connections to gather information, even wanting to see Zhang Yu's award-winning design drawings.

After finally obtaining Zhang Yu's winning design, Bei Wufeng looked at the blueprints for the "Wind God Semi-Frame Work-Powered Boots" and grew more and more surprised the more he looked.

"This... is Magnetic Pole Director's handiwork, isn't it?"

"At least it doesn't look like something a senior could have designed."

As a student of artifact forging at Wanfa University, Bei Wufeng had naturally studied many of his teachers' designs, and Magnetic Pole True Lord was one of his main areas of study.

Feeling the style of the design, the more Bei Wufeng looked, the less he believed Zhang Yu could have produced it.

Later, when he heard the news about the Nascent Soul Dharma Framework, he thought to himself, "Just as I suspected."

"So it was Magnetic Pole True Lord who passed on his experience in magic tool design to this Zhang Yu."

Bei Wufeng couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration and jealousy at this thought: "This is the achievement of the Magnetic Pole True Lord, not Zhang Yu's own achievement."

"Design experience is just design experience after all. If he wants to compete with me for a spot on the school team, he still has a long way to go."

Just then, a message from an assistant came in.

Liu Xiangqiao: Boss, I want to take half a day off.

Bei Wufeng thought it over. Although Liu Xiangqiao’s work wasn’t very important, the request for leave still made him feel displeased.

Now was the crucial time for preparing to participate in the next Top Ten Tournament. How could she, as an assistant in his lab, have the nerve to ask for leave at such a critical moment?

Bei Wufeng: I’ll give you at most two hours.

Bei Wufeng: And if you leave, delaying the project progress, I’ll deduct three days of your pay.

After leaving Bei Wufeng’s lab, Liu Xiangqiao hurried over to Zhang Yu’s place.

Although she had previously rejected Zhang Yu’s invitation, times had changed. Now that Zhang Yu had won first place in the Design Competition, in Liu Xiangqiao’s eyes, he was well worth joining.

After all, in Bei Wufeng’s project, she was just an insignificant assistant, but if she went to Zhang Yu’s project, she could become the one managing the assistants.

Especially after hearing that Zhang Yu had obtained the design experience of the Magnetic Pole True Lord, Liu Xiangqiao’s desire to join Zhang Yu’s team grew even stronger.

……

Inside Ye Xingli’s lab.

Zhang Yu looked at Liu Xiangqiao before him and said, "You say... you're willing to take a pay cut and jump over here?"

Seeing Liu Xiangqiao, who had previously refused to join despite his repeated invitations, now in a lowly posture, Zhang Yu asked again, "Then are you willing to work overtime 24 hours a day?"

Liu Xiangqiao asked, "How long will it last?"

Zhang Yu said, "From now until the Top Ten Tournament, you might not have any time to attend classes. Except for exams, you have to stay in the lab."

Hearing these words, Liu Xiangqiao couldn't help but ask, "Are you really planning to participate in the Top Ten Tournament?"
