chapter 10 Advance metal

by Fish Roe 20:58,Feb 16,2024


Yanhuang China stretches thousands of miles across, with thousands of sects and aristocratic families. Even unqualified martial artist can establish sects, so the strength gap between these sects and aristocratic families is very large.

Among them, the strongest ones are undoubtedly the four major families and the eight sects, which have almost all the top players and have an extremely close relationship with the Yanhuang Kingdom.

Next came dozens of second-tier forces, including Maurice’s sect , the Stargazer Swordsman school.

These forces do not have the foundation of the four major families and the eight sects, but they still have considerable strength, and there are many masters with outstanding cultivation among them.

In addition to these powerful aristocratic sects that can affect the entire martial arts world, there are also a lot of third-tier forces. They have deep roots in a certain area and have great influence in the local area. In order to expand their power, some will even infiltrate the underworld to seek benefits.

Sect of the Nine Deadlies is one of the many third-line forces!

Maurice and Tyler Young had heard of this sect, but they had never been involved in the underworld before. Unexpectedly, they changed their past style. Apparently they couldn't stand being lonely anymore.

This sect ranks behind among the third-tier forces and is relatively not powerful, but the martial arts they practice are very vicious and domineering. The leader , Andrew Walsh, is narrow-minded and will retaliate. He will shy away from powerful forces. If the opponent is weaker than him, he will definitely fight to death.

Obviously, the Sect of the Nine Deadlies's tentacles have reached Sky City, and William Sone's appearance was premeditated.

Maurice beat him into a cripple with one punch. With the Sect of the Nine Deadlies's behavior, it was impossible to let him go so easily. It won't take long for the real master to come over, and then Marvel Club face irresistible revenge.

To qualify as a third-tier force, the minimum requirement is to have a master in charge, which is a top master equivalent to a practitioners in the early stages of Xin Dong.

Even with the increase in Printronix, Maurice's actual combat power is only second-rate peak, which puts Jim Lewis, a first-level martial arts master, at a disadvantage, which is inseparable from his physical advantage. However, when a master-level expert appears, the so-called physical defense is just a joke. How can it have any effect?

Clear Water Bay Villa.

In the living room, the six people who were still high-spirited in the afternoon had such gloomy expressions that they could shed tears. The Sect of the Nine Deadlies was definitely not something that the small Jingyun Society could compete with.

"What should we do? How about...Brother Maurice, you go somewhere else to hide first?"Phily was full of anxiety. He didn't want to see anything happen to the brother he had just recognized.

"You're going to be in big trouble if I leave."

Maurice is not the kind of person who only cares about himself. Even if he loses his life, he doesn't want to see his friends get into trouble. He pondered for a moment and turned to Tyler Young: "Brother Qin, can you get the metal I want quickly? It's more common to get it first. Those ones?"

After hearing this, Tyler Young felt agitated and said anxiously: "Brother, what time has it been? Are you still thinking about metal?"

Sighing helplessly, Maurice whispered: "This is the last chance. If there is the metal I need, the threat of the Sect of the Nine Deadlies will probably disappear."

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone was stunned. Tyler Young, who was extremely anxious just now, quickly asked: "Brother, you can't joke at this time. By the way, give me a sure word, what do you want those metals for?" ? The twenty tons of steel delivered last time were inexplicably missing by more than half, and there was a lot of white ash in the room. Could it be that you ate those ten tons of steel? "

It can't be said that the metal essence in those steel materials has been absorbed. The metal I want is used for cultivation, right?

The existence of The Emperor's Record is so astonishing. Not to mention that Tyler Young will be scared to death if he finds out about it. If word spreads, the four major aristocratic families and the eight major sects will also come out in full force.

Masters who have lived together for twelve years can turn against each other in the blink of an eye, let alone someone who has just known each other for a short time. Before he had enough strength, he did not dare to put his life in the hands of others. The secret of The Emperor's Record could not be spread to outsiders, even to Tyler Young and others on the same boat.

"None of this is important. What matters is whether you believe me or not?"Maurice had to change the subject.

"Done!"

Phily suddenly jumped up and shouted: "We have come to this point, why are we talking about those who have some and don't have anything? Since Maurice said so, I will bet my life and fortune on him. Big Dave, contact the whole city The largest metal materials company will bring a sample of all the metals on the market."

Big Dave looked at Tyler Young hesitantly, that was the boss in his mind, and Phily could not make the decision no matter what he said.

After closing his eyes slightly and remaining silent for a few seconds, Tyler Young waved his hand to indicate that he should follow Phily's instructions, then sat back on the sofa feebly.

Except for the faint sound of Big Dave phone call coming from outside, the living room was eerily quiet, with only the sound of a few people breathing. Even Big Dave walked in quietly after making the call.

About an hour later, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked into the hall.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the young man accompanying him took out a large box with more than twenty squares inside, with a small piece of metal placed in each square.

"That's all? Aren't there more than a hundred kinds of metals?"

"We can't get radioactive metals, and some are too rare and expensive to be used on a daily basis. The company won't buy them at all."

"Can I take it in and take a look?"Maurice asked after hearing the other party's explanation.

"this……"

The middle-aged man looked at Tyler Young and said apologetically: "Mr. Qin, some of the metals here are very valuable, can you just look at them here?"

Without Tyler Young saying anything, Big Dave took out a check that he had prepared long ago and put it on the table: "500,000 is enough to buy these samples. Even if there is something missing, it will be enough to compensate."

Carrying the box and rushing into the master bedroom, Maurice took out all the more than twenty kinds of metals, and the description of the required metals came to his mind.

Ninety percent were quickly eliminated through color, density, and texture, and only five types remained after screening. Unfortunately, when he tried to absorb the spiritual energy inside, he found that none of them were what he wanted.

Seeing him walking out dejectedly, everyone had already guessed the outcome.

The middle-aged man carefully checked the metal in the box, pushed the check in front of Tyler Young, and said, "Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, I can't help."

The other party is the boss of the city's metal materials company, and his status is not comparable to that of an ordinary small boss. Tyler Young stood up to shake hands and wanted to see him out in person.

At this moment, the young man in his early twenties who was following the middle-aged man said to Maurice: "Sir, can you describe the metal needed?"

"Silver in color, as light as a feather, floating on water, soft in texture, turning into light yellow when exposed to air..."

"lithium!"

Before Maurice could finish his words, the young man hurriedly said: "It must be lithium! It's just that lithium is not easy to preserve and will produce a chemical reaction when it comes into contact with air, so I didn't bring it here."

Everyone was overjoyed after hearing his affirmative answer. Seeing that there was business to be done, the middle-aged man also had a smile on his face: "That's great. I'll ask someone to get samples. Mr. Qin, I don't know what he plans to do." How much? If the company doesn’t have enough stock, I can still find someone to help.”

"The more the better, at least fifteen tons!"

Maurice didn't know exactly how much was needed. More than a dozen tons of steel were used in the foundation building period. Maybe the quantity needed this time would not be less. It was better to be prepared than not to have enough at the moment. In the middle-aged man's surprised eyes, he added: "There is also tin, just a little more than lithium."

The middle-aged man swallowed and murmured: "lithium is not steel. Not to mention that the output is much less. Do you know how much a ton of lithium costs?"

The question that Tyler Young was most concerned about suddenly came up, and he took over the conversation: "Mr. Chow, you can't charge me too much."

"It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not. The key company has less than a ton of inventory, and this thing is not a commonly used metal. Most metal materials companies don't have it at all." The middle-aged man looked helpless.

"Is there no other way?"

"I will find a way to contact other companies, and I should be able to get fifteen tons within ten days."

"Ten days?"

Maurice shook his head like a rattle and said, "This matter can't wait. We don't have time to wait for ten days. How soon can it be done?"

Suddenly he thought of the obstacles at stake, not only the future of Marvel Club, but also the lives and fortunes of these people present. What's the use of caring about things outside of you now?

Tyler Young put the check on the table into Mr. Chow hand and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chow, I owe you a favor. I will do everything possible to get it in the shortest time. Money is not an issue."

"OK!"

Putting the check into his pocket, Mr. Chow nodded and said: "Tin can be shipped at any time, with a cost price of 20,000 yuan per ton. As for lithium, I will contact other companies to transport it by air. If I am in a hurry, the other party may take the opportunity to raise the price. The market price is nearly 400,000 yuan per ton, so you need to prepare at least 7 million yuan."

7 million!

Not knowing the price of lithium doesn't mean that Maurice has no concept of money. He knows the meaning of 7 million in the secular world. Didn't you see Tyler Young's expression change?

He has been involved in the underworld in Sky City for so many years, and the Marvel Club been established for several years. On the surface, it seems to have unlimited scenery, but only a limited number of people know the real situation.

All kinds of black income and gray income, plus the income from formal industries, add up to at least two thousand years of profit every year. However, there are so many younger brothers to support, and younger brothers are often injured, and the medical expenses in a year are staggering. As the boss himself, he cannot be too shabby, and the personal expenses alone are not a small amount.

In short, if the money truly saved every year is divided among a few people, even Tyler Young will only be able to divide it into two million at most.

"There are still more than four million in the card, money is not an issue."

As soon as Mr. Chow left, the Phily threw a bank card to Tyler Young: "The password is the date of the first time you hacked someone. Don't be so embarrassed. You have solved the Sect of the Nine Deadlies and you are worried that you will not make any money?"

Seeing his indifferent expression, Maurice nodded solemnly: "Brothers, Maurice will remember everything you have done, as long as..."

boom!

Before he could finish his words, the door of the living room was smashed into pieces by a strong force. Three figures appeared suddenly, and a cold and arrogant voice immediately sounded: "It was you who injured Yunfeng? Very good, not a single one of them is missing. Save me the trouble of searching for you one by one. If you abandon your cultivation and wait for it to happen, maybe the leader can still survive because you don't know about it!"

Hearing such an arrogant tone, Maurice, who was interrupted, became murderous. He raised a mysterious sneer at the corner of his mouth and directly activated the Printronix...
