Chapter 286: Fate and Human Affairs

A few days passed, and the forging was peaceful. During this period, a batch of task orders came in. The contribution value was surprisingly high, but it was also surprisingly unconventional.

The order placed by the Central Fairy Court Imperial Kitchen requires a batch of cooking utensils and spiritual treasures, and the special requirement is that the spiritual treasures must be infused with the divine way of gourmet food. The cooking utensils Lingbao is very special, but it is not without them, but they are all infused with the meaning of fire.

But this order requires good food, which is simply unheard of for ordinary cooks.

Boss Wang scolded all the stove masters, but even after scolding them, the stove masters didn't know how to eat. At this moment, Bai Yunhai weakly raised his hand: "Well, Boss Wang, why don't I give it a try?" ?”

A few days ago, Lingbao Division was disgraced by the explosion of the alchemy furnace. It urgently needed to complete a batch of large orders to regain its reputation. This order for the Central Xianting Imperial Kitchen Room must be completed.

After hearing that Bai Yunhai had requested a tassel, Manager Wang handed him the list with suspicion.

Not to mention, Bai Yunhai did have two brushes. Within two days, he really completed the cooking utensil Lingba as required, and everyone was full of praise.

Zhang Ye didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a coincidence, but what happened next was a bit bizarre.

Bai Yunhai had just completed the order for cooking utensils, and the forge received another difficult order. It also had a huge contribution value, but it was also shockingly unpopular.

The masters couldn't do it, so it was Bai Yunhai who stepped forward to complete the project.

It doesn't matter if something like this happens once or twice, one after another, it can't be a coincidence. Those orders seemed to be tailor-made for Bai Yunhai.

Zhang Ye just had this idea, and Director Wang called Zhang Ye over: "The arrangements for the new deacon of the forging workshop have been made."

Zhang Ye was slightly surprised: "Who is it?"

Manager Wang looked at Zhang Ye: "The above means that we are not planning to make horizontal transfers and have decided to hire new people."

"Baiyunhai?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Ye secretly thought something was wrong.

"It's not stated clearly, but Baiyunhai has become the default decision." Manager Wang paused and continued, "It said that the furnace masters in the forge each have their own strengths. For the sake of fairness, whoever reaches the 100,000 contribution value first will Whoever becomes the new deacon of the forge.”

"You must have discovered something. The recent order seems to be quite appealing to Bai Yunhai."

Chief Wang stopped talking, but it was enough for Zhang Ye.

It means that Bai Yunhai has been in the limelight recently and can complete any difficult task. Daqing is to build momentum for him! One hundred thousand contribution points, for the sake of fairness, it’s fair to do this!

As for why Bai Yunhai was not promoted directly to deacon? Because there is a chief executive above General Manager Bai, and everything must be done with a formality.

Even after knowing the trick, Zhang Ye was not angry and stood there calmly. This made Manager Wang a little surprised: "Aren't you angry?"

"Why should I be angry because he used his own skills to get through the back door?" Zhang Ye looked pure.

Manager Wang almost couldn't hold back his laughter and coughed several times before he was able to maintain his majestic image: "Okay, just let him go for now. When there is a chance later, I will transfer you to be a deacon."

Zhang Ye didn't express his position, just bowed and turned to leave. Deacon Wang thought Zhang Ye acquiesced, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Zhang Ye was not ready to let go. Even if Director Wang promised to promote Zhang Ye in the future, Zhang Ye didn't have much time to wait. Moreover, Zhang Ye is easy to discuss, but there is only one thing that is unacceptable - someone robs him of his things.

Bai Yunhai used his ability to use the back door, couldn't Zhang Ye use his ability to use the forging system?

…

"System, currently, what are the ways I can learn more forging skills?" Back at his residence, Zhang Ye asked the forging system.

Bai Yunhai wants to increase his contribution points by creating unpopular Lingbao, and Zhang Ye also plans to learn some unpopular forging skills, and even learn whatever Bai Yunhai knows to take the credit from Bai Yunhai.

When he is the first to reach 100,000 contribution points, Bai Yunhai will definitely look good.

"Answer the host, you can complete side tasks or continue to upgrade the forging level." the forging system replied.

"Then you should give me some side quests!" Zhang Ye was not angry. He hadn't triggered any side quests for a long time.

"The side mission is triggered randomly. The triggering conditions have not yet been met. The host can spend ten high-grade sky stones to refresh it." The system replied coldly.

"Can't you get side quests with just a few spirit stones?" Zhang Ye's face was ferocious, showing that the forging system was robbing people.

"Oh." The forging system failed, and Zhang Ye was so angry that he beat Tuanzi.

Zhang Ye finally calmed down: "Broadcast the current attributes."

"The current attributes of the host are as follows——"

"Name: Zhang Ye

Cultivation: Middle stage of human immortality

Forging level: eleven

Forging skills: Low-grade innate spiritual treasure specialization (the way of alchemy, the way of illusion)...

Experience value: one million/ten million”

When refining spiritual treasures, the experience points increase quite quickly. I already have one million experience points, but it still takes some time to upgrade, and it may not be possible in time.

Helpless, Zhang Ye had no choice but to try side tasks. As for the task fee of ten high-grade sky stones, Zhang Ye can still afford it with his current net worth. Well, he extorted a hundred yuan from Deacon Qian under the pretense of public benefit.

"Then buy a side mission." Zhang Ye prayed, it must be a side mission that can be completed now. If there is a side mission to assassinate the Immortal Emperor, he will cry to death.

The forging system took away ten high-grade sky stones and ding-dong said: "Accept the side mission, dominate the heavens, and be rewarded with five high-grade sky stones."

Zhang Ye's face was blue in white, purple in blue, and red in purple. He was dumbfounded for a long time and couldn't speak.

Dominate the heaven? ! Zhang Ye felt that it was difficult for him to dominate Baiyunhai. Who was he trying to fool with this side quest?

Also, Zhang Ye spent a full ten pieces of top-grade sky stones, but the reward was five pieces of top-grade sky stones? Your mother is playing with mud!

For a moment, Zhang Ye wanted to kill himself, so that he could die with the forging system, but he was afraid of pain, so he gritted his teeth and looked at Tuanzi who was shivering beside him.

Tuanzi didn't know what was wrong with Zhang Ye today, and shuddered: "You beat me just now, now it's Ah Hua's turn..."

A miserable howl rang out from Zhang Ye's residence.

After venting, Zhang Ye felt much better, but his plan to crush Baiyunhai with the help of the forging system failed. A person can't always be so lucky.

However, Zhang Ye did not give up. Although Bai Yunhai could quickly increase his contribution value with the help of orders, his success rate in making magic treasures was only slightly higher than that of ordinary furnace masters, and he could only succeed in making two or three pieces in a day.

Since he could not defeat Bai Yunhai with "quality", Zhang Ye decided to rush for quantity. Except for the first one, all his magic treasures could get 20 contribution points. Zhang Ye worked overtime and could make more than 20 magic treasures a day, which was equivalent to hundreds of contribution points. Occasionally, he could get extra contribution points if he could get the right order tasks. In this way, Bai Yunhai could not lead Zhang Ye by much.

Although this was a stupid way, Zhang Ye believed that diligence could make up for one's shortcomings.

In this way, in the next few days, Bai Yunhai completed the tasks that only he could complete, and easily made two or three magic treasures, and hundreds of contribution points were in hand. Zhang Ye was full of energy. With a 100% success rate, the magic treasures piled up into a small mountain every day, and there were also hundreds of contribution points.

The furnace masters and apprentices were all dumbfounded. Zhang Ye alone was almost catching up with the full operation of the entire forging workshop.

Gradually, some people also heard some rumors.

"Have you heard? The higher-ups have issued a notice that the new forge deacon will be selected from among us!" During the break, a furnace master who knew about it said.

"My chance is coming?" A furnace master looked longing.

"You? Wait another thousand years." The insider complained and continued, "The higher-ups said that for the sake of fairness, whoever of us furnace masters reaches 100,000 contribution points first will be promoted to forge deacon."

"Oh, I understand. No wonder Zhang Ye is like crazy." The furnace masters suddenly realized.

"But I think Zhang Ye is busy in vain." The insider arched his mouth to Bai Yunhai, "I also heard that Bai is the nephew of Bai Zongguan. Recently, there are so many tasks that only Bai can complete. It's because Bai Zongguan wants to help Bai Yunhai get promoted."

The furnace masters learned the cause and effect and were surprised: "Bai Zongguan's nephew! Are you serious?"

"I guarantee it!" The insider vowed.

The furnace masters flocked to Bai Yunhai, saying that he was young and promising, and had unlimited potential, and they flattered him. Some furnace masters had previously ignored Bai Yunhai, and at this moment they slapped themselves in the face and apologized sincerely.

The furnace masters did not feel unfair for Zhang Ye, but chose to curry favor with him. After all, if there was no accident, Bai Yunhai would become the deacon of the forging workshop. Bah, there was no accident! Building a good relationship now is for a better future.

When Bai Yunhai saw his identity revealed, he was neither panicked nor arrogant. He said in a gentle and elegant manner: "There is nothing to be done yet. Just listen to fate and do your best."

"Bao is too modest, unlike some people who have lofty ambitions!" The furnace masters looked at Zhang Ye with contempt, and competing with Bai Yunhai was like hitting a rock with an egg.

Bai Yunhai smiled and shook his head, saying that he had to work and would talk later. The furnace masters praised him again, and then they left wisely and worked enthusiastically to leave a good impression on the future deacon.

Bai Yunhai had a smug look in his eyes. He looked at Zhang Ye who was working hard. There was no need for any conspiracy or trickery. Zhang Ye would definitely fail. Having said that, Zhang Ye's success rate was too amazing. He was a talent. When this young master was promoted to deacon, he would definitely value you.

Bai Yunhai thought proudly and continued to complete the work in his hands.

A few days later, Bai Yunhai did some unpopular but high-contribution tasks. Even if Zhang Ye worked day and night, his contribution value was still far behind.

On this day, Wang Zhushi came to announce the task again, which was still unpopular. He made a batch of Lingbao brushes for the Central Xianting Academy and required them to be infused with the idea of ​​​​the wind.

To write faster? However, I have seen orders that are weirder than this, so there is nothing to be surprised about. The furnace masters did not express any opinions.

Wang Zhushi was also helpless, but these tasks were real. Manager Bai relied on his connections to place an order, and Wang Zhushi could not refuse it. Moreover, this time, the contribution value reached a terrifying one thousand per piece, and a total of twenty pieces needed to be forged. If it were not for the specific request for the forging workshop to do it, Wang Zhushi would have wanted to do a few orders and make a fortune.

"Is there anyone who is willing to sign up?" Wang Zhushi asked formally.

The furnace masters all lowered their heads. Since they knew that this was a game played by Manager Bai, they dared not participate even if they knew how to do it.

Bai Yunhai had a smile on his face. After completing this order, it would be almost 100,000 contribution points, right?

Bai Yunhai was about to stand up to accept the task, but at this moment, Zhang Ye slapped the table and jumped up: "I'll do it!"
