In the Yulin courtyard, a round table meeting was held again.
The difference is that this round table meeting was attended by not only everyone in Yulin Academy, but also Siqin, Tang Yuyan, Mo Yushan, Lin Yue'er and Bai Chenming.
"Ahem, the last Yulin roundtable meeting of the year will be held today, and all members of the Yulin Academy will participate. The attendees include Siqin, a first-year student in the Qizi Academy, and Lin Yue'er, a first-year student in the Wuzi Academy..." Li Yuan, as the elder of the Yulin Academy, He presided over the meeting, but was still interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Okay, Fatty, we are all very familiar with each other, so no introduction is needed. We are gathered here today mainly because the eldest grandson has something he wants to discuss with you," Lu Xiaoran said.
Lu Xiaoran turned to look at Zhangsun and said, "Changsun, please tell me. What's the matter with calling everyone here?"
The eldest grandson nodded, looked at everyone, and said: "The year-end assessment ended some time ago, and I noticed that everyone's results were good. I called you here today just to find out what your plans are next."
No one spoke, while Lu Xiaoran and Siqin looked at Changsun.
Seeing that no one spoke, the eldest grandson looked at Lu Xiaoran.
"You can form a mercenary group when you are a second-year student. You just want to ask everyone's wishes? Our Yulin Academy must be a group." Lu Xiaoran said, and the other members of the Yulin Academy also nodded.
The eldest grandson nodded and looked at Siqin.
Si Qin looked at the eldest grandson with a half-smile, and said, "You already have a plan, so don't be pretentious and just tell me your plan."
The person who understands the eldest grandson best is Si Qin, who can tell the eldest grandson's thoughts with one word.
But the eldest grandson still looked at Lin Yue'er.
"I...I heard Xiaoran..." Lin Yue'er said a little shyly. Since the half-year assessment, Lu Xiaoran seems to have become Lin Yuer's backbone.
"I listen to you." Bai Chenming said consciously.
The eldest grandson finally looked at Tang Yuyan and Mo Yushan and said, "You two are about to be promoted to third-year students. Letting you join our mercenary group is not very beneficial to your development."
"I don't care. Originally, my family didn't plan to let me take on tasks outside the hospital. It's the same with you taking on tasks inside the hospital." Tang Yuyan said.
"I listen to Sister Yuyan," Mo Yushan said.
Changsun nodded and continued: "This is the first thing. After forming the mercenary group, Mo Yushan and Bai Chenming are responsible for selecting tasks for all of us. During this time, Bai Chenming has carefully recorded everyone's Qi and skills. , the characteristics of martial arts, and even your fighting habits, we will also formulate corresponding combat plans for you when selecting missions in the future."
Bai Chenming nodded, and everyone looked at Bai Chenming in surprise.
Changsun continued: "As for the rest of us who are working hard to practice, improve our strength, and complete our tasks, we must also focus more on the research of the teleportation array."
"Research on the teleportation array?" The teleportation array is the top secret of Changsun and others. Lin Yue'er and Bai Chenming heard about it for the first time.
Changsun continued: "During this period, Xiaoyi and Siqin have been checking the ancient runes in the teleportation array in the Sutra Pavilion. Xiaoyi, please tell me about the progress."
Tang Xiaoyi said: "At present, we have found the origin of most of the runes in the teleportation array, but this alone is not enough. There are still many unclear meanings of the arrangement of the runes and the combination of them."
"It's progressing so quickly?" Zhangsun was a little surprised.
"Well, thanks to Elder Liu Bowen from the Sutra Pavilion, he provided us with a lot of help." Siqin said.
The eldest grandson nodded.
"Xiaoyi, can you try to shape the teleportation formation now?" Lu Xiaoran said.
Tang Xiaoyi shook his head, "I have completely memorized the runes of the teleportation array, but it is too complicated. It is difficult for me to complete it with my current mental strength. Moreover, there are still too many things that have not been clarified. It will be dangerous to experiment rashly." .”
"Yes, we can't take risks until we fully understand its principles. Moreover, the runes of the teleportation array are too complex, and the mental power required to depict or trigger them is too huge." Changsun said.
"Well, if the consumption is too high, even if we develop it, it will be difficult to spread it to the entire continent." Lu Xiaoran frowned.
Changsun thought about it and said, "Perhaps what we need is just the key part, but this requires us to thoroughly study it."
"With Elder Liu's help, I think we will make rapid progress. Elder Liu Bowen's research on talisman formations is really profound. He can recognize many runes whose origins cannot be found in the Scripture Pavilion." Tang Xiaoyi admired The emotion is beyond words.
"Has he researched the teleportation array before?" Changsun asked.
Tang Xiaoyi shook his head, "Not really, but he can recognize many runes at a glance."
Changsun thought for a moment, with a hint of hidden worry in his eyes.
"Every time we go to ask for advice, we will not only bring the runes of the teleportation array, but also mix some other runes, and the order will also be messed up. It should be difficult for him to detect anything from these runes. And I also privately Someone was sent to investigate him, he has a very clean background, has not participated in any political parties or forces, and is a pure scholar." Si Qin saw Changsun's worry and said.
Changsun glanced at Si Qin, and then the worry in his heart disappeared.
Tang Xiaoyi hummed, and then said: "There is still one problem. After the teleportation array is researched, we still need to forge a suitable spiritual weapon to carry the teleportation array."
Changsun fell into thinking. Although the teleportation array has not been fully studied yet, based on its current characteristics, first of all, the material of the spiritual weapon must be able to carry a large amount of the user's mental power, and it must also be able to integrate well with the teleportation array.
"Is the material studied by Wu Laoxin okay?" Siqin asked.
"We have to wait until Mr. Wu and I discuss this before we can determine whether there is a possibility of this. We can't draw a conclusion yet," Changsun said.
Changsun put this issue aside for the time being, and then said: "I suggest that all the contribution points from our year-end assessment be used for research on the teleportation array, including exchange for the qualification to enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to read secret books, exchange for materials in the weapon refining workshop, etc. .”
Everyone had no objection to Changsun's proposal.
After determining the main matters, everyone discussed some specific details of the establishment of the mercenary group. After some discussion, the name of the mercenary group was determined as "Youth Pie".
Everyone in Yulin Courtyard had dispersed, leaving only Lu Xiaoran, Si Qin and Tang Yuyan.
"Next, if we thoroughly understand the principle of the teleportation array, we will start experiments, which will require a lot of funds." Changsun said.
"I can call some from the family." Lu Xiaoran said.
The eldest grandson shook his head, "It is not appropriate at this stage to involve the family behind you."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"I bought a stake in a trading firm in Jianggong Alley, called Wanyuan Trading Firm. I plan to bring it into the partnership," Changsun said.
Lu Xiaoran's eyes lit up and she looked at her eldest grandson, "Okay, no wonder you go out early and come back late during this period and don't see anyone. It turns out that you have done such a big thing. Wanyuan Trading Company has been gaining momentum recently. Even I have heard about it. Recently There are rumors in the business world that Wanyuan has done the most successful marketing in the industry, could it be that you did it?"
Changsun smiled and did not respond.
"Even so, according to our assumptions, after the teleportation array is established, we still need to study the runes of the new world, and it will also involve the integration and communication with the real world after the new world is successfully built. Only with the help of the small Wanyuan It’s far from enough for the commercial bank to complete these things.” Siqin said, and everyone named this virtual world that has not yet been realized as the New World.
Changsun nodded, "There is still a long way to go. At that time, it will be time to convince you of the forces behind you. According to my vision, we not only need to speed up the research on the teleportation array, but also start research on building a new teleportation array." The talisman of the world.”
"According to your imagination, the new world will carry the spiritual power of a large number of people. Not to mention that it is a bit whimsical to depict such a talisman array. Even if we are to research it, this talisman array will still have suitable spiritual weapons to be used for it. Soul, such a spiritual weapon, not to mention our ability, there are only a few people in the entire continent who have such ability." Tang Yuyan said.
"It's true as you said, the talisman array in the new world will be an extremely large and complex talisman array, and the spiritual weapon you want to imbue it with souls will also be of a very high level. So the spiritual weapon I envision is the Sun Eye. ." Changsun said that he would not stop until he died.
"Sun Eye!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Tang Yuyan was stunned, but even Lu Xiaoran and Siqin, who had always been calm and composed, were shocked and speechless.
For Siqin, who has lived in the Southern Region since he was a child, the Sun Eye is as warm as the sun in the sky, and at the same time, it is as sacred.
When the eldest grandson mentioned the sun eye, Si Qin's first reaction was to object, but after careful consideration, it seemed that only the sun eye was the most suitable spiritual weapon.
Seeing that everyone found it difficult to accept it for a while, the eldest grandson changed the subject and said: "There is no rush to confirm this matter. Boss Lu, I heard that you have started to handle part of the family business. What about the plan we discussed before to develop large-scale spiritual weapons?" Are you ready?"
Lu Xiaoran shook her head, "The progress is very slow. The family is very opposed to this plan. The initial development cost of large spiritual weapons, such as aerostats, is too high, and there is not much market demand. It is difficult for us to Squeeze in..."
Lu Xiaoran didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was already clear.
The eldest grandson nodded, this situation is indeed reasonable.
"The market for aerostats is now saturated. If you want to squeeze in, you need to expand the market. But this will have to wait until our new world is truly established. People's communication will be closer and more convenient, and people and goods from various places will move more frequently. By then, The demand for aerostats will surge," Changsun said.
"I understand what you are saying, and I also know that now is the best time to develop an aerostat in advance. When the market is in short supply, we can seize the opportunity and quickly seize the market. But the people in the family don't know For our new world plan, I can’t allocate the funds and personnel to develop aerostats." Lu Xiaoran said with a hint of helplessness.
"Boss Lu, why don't you also invest in Wanyuan Trading Company?" Changsun said.
