Long Yuan turned around and left the small courtyard. After closing the door, he said to a shadow, "Keep an eye on President Zhen Hua and don't let strangers get close to him."
There was no response, but Long Yuan knew that the other party must have heard what he said.
Even before arriving at this small courtyard, Long Yuan sensed the aura of the person secretly guarding this place.
Two full Titled Douluo.
Long Yuan walked in the direction of the Blacksmith Association. It was already getting late. He planned to spend one night at the association first and then see what the arrangements would be.
As soon as I walked into the door of the association, a familiar figure came down the stairs.
"Yo! Long Yuan!" The man shouted with a loud voice, and the whole hall shook.
It's Mu Ye.
The master of the Body Sect, the ninety-fourth level Titled Douluo, Three-Word Battle Armor Master, Red-Rank Mecha Master--and Zhen Hua's royal chef and bodyguard leader.
"Senior Mu Ye." Long Yuan nodded.
Mu Ye walked over quickly and looked him up and down, his eyes bright astonishingly.
"I was talking about going to meet that old boy Zhen Hua for a meal, but I met you here." He put his arm around Long Yuan's shoulders, "Let's go, let's go, I just developed some new dishes, please help me try them!"
Long Yuan was dragged out by him and said helplessly, "Zhen Hua President has drunk too much."
"Drink too much?" Mu Ye was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "The old guy got drunk so easily? OK, I knew he was hiding something good!"
He had no intention of going back to find Zhen Hua, but instead pulled Long Yuan tighter.
"Okay, leave him alone, let's eat. Let me tell you, I have collected some rare ingredients recently..."
The two set up a battle array at Mu Ye's residence.
It is said to be a residence, but it is actually more like a messy studio. The living room is filled with various drawings and metal parts, and there is even a semi-finished Mecha arm in the corner.
Mu Ye was busy in the kitchen, while Long Yuan was sitting in the living room and picked up a drawing.
There was a complex structural diagram drawn on it, with various parameters densely marked. Although he didn't know much about Mecha, he could still see the subtleties of this drawing - the various mechanical structures, Soul Power transmission lines, and joint range of motion were all designed with great care.
"How's it going? Do you understand?" Mu Ye walked out with two plates of food and asked casually when he saw Long Yuan looking at the drawings.
Long Yuan shook his head. "I know a little bit about it."
Mu Ye put the dishes on the table and sat down opposite him, with a bit of pride in his eyes.
"This is the result of my research for several years. The core design of the special God Grade Mecha has the function of solidifying life and is the only one in the continent."
Long Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Of course he knows the Mecha achievements of Mu Ye - the ninety-fourth level Titled Douluo is stuck outside the threshold of Super Douluo because he puts too much energy into the research and development of Mecha. But it is also this obsession that makes him the top Mecha teacher on the mainland.
If he remembered correctly, the Mu Ye named "Little Red" and the Mecha can freely transform into various forms, and there is also a technology that solidifies the instantaneous transfer of life functions, which can freely complete space transfer within a kilometer range.
"Eat the food, eat the food!" Mu Ye handed over the chopsticks, "Eat and chat at the same time."
Long Yuan picked up a pair of chopsticks, and the moment he entered, his eyes moved slightly.
"How is it?" Mu Ye looked at him expectantly.
"Not bad."
Mu Ye grinned. "That's right, I Mu Ye dare not say anything else, but when it comes to my cooking skills, Zhen Hua even that old boy is convinced!"
"And the ingredients this time are not ordinary, Moonlight Rice, Red Jade Shrimp, Black Spirit Fish... that means you came by chance, otherwise where would you eat such good food?"
Long Yuan chuckled and said, "Then I came at just the right time. It's a pity that President Zhen Hua can't eat it."
"Hey, he deserves it. Who told him to hide something delicious from me?"
The two of them ate for a while, then Mu Ye suddenly said, "By the way, why did you come Heaven Dou City all of a sudden?"
Long Yuan put down his chopsticks. "It's for that piece of rare metal. I guess you know it, it's Gold-Water Mutual Harmony."
Mu Ye's eyes lit up, but he didn't ask any more questions. He poured himself a glass of wine and said to himself, "That old boy is really interested in you. I have known him for so many years, and I have never seen him be so generous to anyone."
Long Yuan didn't answer the call.
Mu Ye didn't care, and continued, "But you are also really capable. Last time you forged that piece of Star Abyss Dark Iron, Zhen Hua talked to me for a long time, saying what you said about 'a once-in-a-century genius' and 'the future of the forging world is promising'..."
He imitated Zhen Hua's accent and made Long Yuan laugh.
"By the way." Mu Ye suddenly remembered something, "How are you going back to Eastsea City this time? Or Soul Guidance Train?"
Long Yuan nodded.
Mu Ye frowned. "That's so slow. It takes a whole day to get from here to Eastsea City, Soul Guidance Train, right?"
"Almost."
"Don't you think about getting a Mecha?" Mu Ye's eyes lit up again, "I have a Mecha. I can go wherever I want. How convenient!"
Long Yuan was stunned for a moment.
Mecha?
He really thought about this, but after all, it was not a necessity, so he didn't pay much attention to it later.
Mu Ye saw that he was interested and immediately became energetic. He put down his chopsticks and started talking non-stop.
"Let me tell you, the Mecha is not just for fighting. It is convenient for traveling, transporting, exploring, and everything. And although the current Soul Guidance Train is fast, how can it be as free as controlling it by yourself?"
Long Yuan was silent for a while.
I have to admit, what Mu Ye said makes sense.
He has been in this world for so long, and he has always relied on Soul Guidance Train when going out. Although it is not slow, it is ultimately limited by the frequency and route. It would indeed be much more convenient if he had a Mecha.
Maybe it would be faster to fly by yourself, but after all, it's not impossible to have an extra means of transportation.
"But I have never done Mecha, I have only briefly learned a little Soul Tool Technology." Long Yuan said.
Mu Ye is waiting for this sentence.
"What does it matter if you haven't done it before? Learn!" He slapped his thigh, "I Mu Ye dare not say anything else, but Mecha, I am ranked second in the whole Douluo Continent, and no one dares to be ranked first!"
He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, becoming more and more excited as he talked.
"And you, kid, are level seven Saint Craftsman. You can get the materials as you like, I will help you with the design, and you can do the manufacturing yourself - a perfect combination!"
Long Yuan looked at him thoughtfully.
Mu Ye's Mecha accomplishments are indeed unrivaled. If you can get his guidance, building a Mecha yourself would indeed be a good choice.
"How is it?" Mu Ye stopped and looked at him expectantly, "Would you like to try it?"
Long Yuan was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.
"Okay."
Mu Ye's eyes lit up and he laughed.
"That's right! Don't worry, as long as I, Mu Ye, am here, I will definitely build you the top Mecha in the continent!"
He immediately pulled out a pile of drawings from the corner, spread them out on the table, pointed to one of them and said:
"Look, this is the standard model I designed. It is human-shaped, about seven meters tall, with a streamlined appearance, taking into account both speed and power. The core power system uses multi-core linkage, and the Soul Power conversion efficiency is 30% higher than the ordinary Mecha..."
Long Yuan looked at the complicated drawing and suddenly spoke.
"The speed can be faster."
Mu Ye was stunned.
"I don't need too strong combat ability." Long Yuan said lightly, "It is mainly used for traveling. Therefore, speed is the priority. Of course, it is better to be more comfortable."
Mu Ye blinked. "Okay, whatever you want."
He immediately picked up the pen and started making corrections on the drawing.
"If speed is the priority, then the weight must be reduced, the joint design must be adjusted, and the output ratio of Power Core must be redistributed..."
Long Yuan Watching him write and draw quickly on the drawing, a thought suddenly came to his mind.
This old man really loves Mecha.
The two discussed it all night.
Mu Ye almost imparted all the knowledge he had accumulated over decades, from the basic structure of Mecha to the design principles of Power Core, from material selection to the optimization of Soul Power's conduction circuits. He wanted to fill Long Yuan's head.
Although Long Yuan doesn't know much about Mecha, with the foundation brought by the soul, he can quickly understand every key point Mu Ye said.
At dawn, the table was already piled with drawings.
Mu Ye leaned back on the chair, his eyes were frighteningly bright, and he didn't feel tired at all.
"Long Yuan, Long Yuan, I have discovered that you are not only talented in blacksmithing, but you are also very good at Mecha!" He sighed, "If you weren't already Zhen Hua's apprentice, I would really like to take you under my wing."
Long Yuan smiled and said nothing. He was too lazy to correct me if he was an apprentice or not an apprentice.
Mu Ye stood up and stretched.
"Okay, that's it for today. Take the drawings first and study them slowly when you go back. If you don't understand anything, please contact me at any time Soul Guidance Communication."
He paused and then added, "As for the materials, you have to get them yourself. I know you have a lot of good stuff, don't hide it. If it doesn't work, just get it from Zhen Hua, he will definitely give it to you."
Long Yuan nodded and carefully put away the drawings on the table.
"Thank you, Senior Mu Ye."
Mu Ye waved his hand. "Why are you so polite? Next time you come to Heaven Dou City, remember to bring some good ingredients. I don't want to be freed all the time."
Long Yuan The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Okay."
