Chapter 34 The First Deal

  "Hey, Little Brother Zi Feng, where are you now? I have something to find you about, come to Blue Shell immediately."

  Chu Zi Feng and Xiao Jing didn't return to school. After Xiao Jing finished painting, she originally wanted to invite Chu Zi Feng for a meal. However, Chu Zi Feng still had to arrange for Zhui Hun. Zhui Hun was an assassin who used to take on killing jobs for money without any other profession. Since he followed Chu Zi Feng now, naturally, he wouldn't go kill people without Chu Zi Feng's permission. Therefore, Chu Zi Feng needed to find a suitable place for Zhui Hun.

  It just so happened that Huang Xiang called at this time to ask him to go to Blue Shell, so Chu Zifeng refused Xiao Jing's invitation and brought Chui Hun to Blue Shell.

  The Blue Shell Tavern was more crowded than usual today, with over a dozen patrons, but they all seemed to be drowning their sorrows in drink, each one looking like they had some secret worry that they couldn't express openly.

  Looking at these idle people, Chu Zifeng couldn't help but think that if all of them were gathered together to form an organization, what kind of existence would it be!

  "Zi Feng's little brother has arrived."

  Murong Zhenzhu saw Chu Zifeng enter, her face with a smile asking how he was doing, and regardless of his true identity, since he was the boss here, she had to welcome every guest who came here with a smile.

  In front of the bar, a man who looked like he was in his thirties glanced at Chu Zifeng and immediately launched into a string of drunken chatter.

  "These young men nowadays are really something else, so much killing intent at such a young age... Ah, society, society!"

  The man said this and then directly crawled onto the bar table and started snoring.

  "Zi Feng's younger brother, don't mind him, this guy gets drunk every day!"

  Chu Zi Feng didn't care about what the man said, and in his heart, he was very clear that the man wasn't talking about himself, but rather the vengeful spirit following behind him.

  "Zi Feng's little brother, you've brought a guest for your sister so soon?"

  Murong Zhenzhu took a glance at Guihun, who was actually a monk, still wearing his monk's robe. However, there wasn't the slightest hint of compassion on his face, typical of a Buddhist disciple. His eyes revealed a murderous intent, and his face was as cold as an iceberg.

  "Miss Pearl, this is a friend of mine. I brought him here today to ask if you're short-handed? Can you give him a job as a waiter?"

  Murong Zhenzhu smiled and said, "Actually, I don't need any servants here. Usually, just Tian'er and I are enough. However, since you were introduced by Subaki's brother, I couldn't possibly not give face to Subaki's brother... 2,000 yuan a month, including food and lodging. If that's okay with you, you can go change your clothes now and start working immediately."

  Others can't even get a job in less than a month, and even if they do, it's impossible to earn 2,000 yuan per month at the beginning, not to mention with food and accommodation provided. Chu Zifeng knew that Murong Zhenzhu was giving Huang Chang face, and Huang Chang must have told Murong Zhenzhu about his own situation, otherwise, Murong Zhenzhu wouldn't be so generous.

  "Then thank you, Pearl."

  "Zi Feng's little brother, don't thank me so quickly. Today, I helped you out, but if in the future I need help, you can't just ignore me."

  "Of course, of course, as long as it's within little brother's power, I will definitely help."

  Chu Zi Feng said to Zhui Hun: "From now on, you'll work here. If I don't look for you, then don't look for me either. If there's anything, I will naturally contact you."

  Zhuihun nodded silently, and at this moment Tian'er ran over, pulled Chu Zifeng's clothes, and said: "Young master, did you bring me a gift?"

  This girl, why does she always want gifts when meeting people, it's as if the whole world owes her.

  Chu Zi Wind smiled wryly and said: "Girl, I'll owe you the gift for now, but I'll definitely return it in the future, and it will be a big one."

  "Haha, little handsome guy, you're much more charming than Sister Qiang. You clearly don't have a gift but still manage to talk big. Alright, I'll believe you this once."

  "Tian'er, stop messing around and take our new colleague to change into their work uniform," said Murong Zhenzhu.

  Tian'er took a closer look at Zhuihun and said, "Hmmm, this guy has a very strong killing aura. He looks like an assassin, and his body is also emitting a faint ancient martial arts aura. He should have just started practicing ancient martial arts recently!"

  Chu Zi shook his head. This little girl really wasn't ordinary, it seemed like nobody had secrets in front of her, she could see right through anyone with just one glance.

  Zhuihun didn't say a word, since Chu Zifeng had helped him kill the person who was going to kill him and had also transmitted the second move of his "Assassination of the Eight Gods" technique. He had also promised to give his life to Chu Zifeng, so from then on, Chu Zifeng would be his master. No matter what Chu Zifeng asked him to do, Zhuihun wouldn't frown even once.

  Tian'er took Zhuihun to change into work clothes. Murong Zhenzhu said, "Zi Feng brother, Xiaosang has been waiting for you for a long time, come with me."

  Chu Zi Feng followed Murong Zhen Zhu to a room in the back, this wasn't a private room, Blue Shell didn't have private rooms either, it should be a resting place!

  "You guys chat first, I won't disturb your romantic conversation."

  Murong Zhenzhu closed the door of the room, Huang Chang was in a very anxious state, seeing Chu Zifeng coming, immediately got up, and without caring about anything else, grabbed Chu Zifeng's hand and said: "Zifeng brother, this time you must help sister!"

  "Sister Ya, with your status, do you still need help from an ordinary person like me?"

  Chu Zi Wind couldn't be stupid, after knowing Huang Chang's identity, he naturally understood Huang Chang's abilities. But now what could have happened that made Huang Chang so anxious to find him and ask for his help? The matter must not be simple!

  "Zi Feng, little brother, our Tian Long team has encountered trouble and needs a large quantity of spiritual weapons. However, the ones being researched by Central haven't passed testing yet and won't arrive in our hands anytime soon. So now we can only rely on you."

  "Spiritual weapons? Xiang Jie, I don't have what you're looking for, and I haven't even heard of them!"

  "Haha, look at me, I was in such a rush that I forgot to tell you. Actually, the spiritual weapons we're talking about are just magical tools. Zi Feng, little brother, aren't you an artifact refiner? Can you help our Tian Long team refine a batch of magical tools?"

  Refining equipment? Chu Zifeng thought so too, but up to now, he only had one piece of equipment, and without the original materials, what could Chu Zifeng refine into equipment with?

  But then again, Huang Xiang is a special person, their Tiao Long queue is a national special organization, they should be able to easily find the raw materials needed for refining law instruments!

  "This... Sister Yu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but refining a magic artifact isn't as easy as you think. Besides wasting time, it also requires my cultivation to work together with yours in order to refine a good magic artifact... You also know that using your cultivation to refine a magic artifact is very taxing on the mind and body. And I'm someone who doesn't have any money to buy supplements, if I end up in the hospital because of refining a magic artifact, I might not even be able to afford the hospital bill!"

  Huang Chang is representing the country to do business with himself, would Chu Zi Feng help them without any conditions? There's no benefit in doing so, and it would be a waste of his true energy and time, Chu Zi Feng wouldn't do such a thing.

  "Little brother Zifeng, name a price, how much do you want?"

  "Uh... actually, Sister Yu, I'm not a greedy person, it's only right to contribute to the country... so how about 3 million per piece?"

  When Chu Zifeng said the first half of the sentence, Huang Chang was still smiling complacently. This younger brother wasn't useless after all and was willing to help him unconditionally. But when Chu Zifeng said the second half of the sentence, it almost made Huang Chang fall over.

  Three million for one item, and you still don't call it greedy... I've seen unscrupulous businessmen, but never one as ruthless as you.

  "Little brother Zifeng, although our army chief has promised to pay for it, isn't this price a bit too high... How about this, can you also give sister a discount?"

  Chu Zi Feng thought for a moment, then said: "Alright, I'll give you a discount. But, Sister Yu, let me make one thing clear - I'm only giving you this discount because of your face, not because of the Tian Long team's influence... 200,000 per piece, what do you think? And, of course, you'll have to provide the raw materials. The quality of the raw materials will affect the power of the artifact, so if you want a powerful artifact, you'd better prepare good materials. Otherwise, don't come crying to me later saying that my artifact has problems."

  Three hundred thousand reduced to two hundred thousand, this price is acceptable for Huang Shang. After returning, it's also good to report to Lan Jianguo.

  "Alright then. Little Feng, we are in a hurry, when can you deliver?"

  After the last experience, Chu Zifeng already knew the process of refining artifacts. For those ordinary artifacts, one day was enough. Chu Zifeng wouldn't be foolish enough to refine "Surprise Thunder Wings" level artifacts for Huang Chang and others, keeping a lifeline for himself. If something happened with the Tianlong team in the future, they wouldn't use the artifacts he refined against him.

  "If you can prepare the raw materials by tomorrow, then I'll be able to deliver them the day after tomorrow...... However, regarding my identity..."

  "Zi Feng, little brother, rest assured, I know what to do in this matter. Your identity will absolutely not be leaked, no one will know that the artifact was refined by you... Now, write down the original materials for me, and as for the money, I'll take care of it. Because this time, I'm representing the country to negotiate with you, there are many things that I also can't control."

  "No problem, I trust the country very much, haha."

  After finishing, Chu Zifeng wrote down the required materials for Huang Chang. Of course, in addition to the materials for refining artifacts, there were also materials for refining elixirs. Since the opportunity came knocking on his door, how could Chu Zifeng let it go? Previously, he had reduced the price from 300,000 to 200,000, which was also something Chu Zifeng had thought through. The remaining 100,000 would be used as materials for refining elixirs!

  It's not an alchemist or a pill maker, so it's impossible to know what raw materials are used for refining what, so Huang Chang didn't think much and took over the raw materials written by Chu Zifeng, saying: "Younger brother Zifeng, you'd better not run around these days, Yanjing is not very peaceful recently."

  "Sister Ling, I almost forgot to ask, you're in such urgent need of a magical artifact, did something big happen in Yanjing?"

  "I'm not convenient to tell you now, let's talk about it later."

  "Alright then, anyway the school club's grand competition is just in a few days, I reckon those four rich kids from Yanda will come find me soon, might as well have some fun with them."

  "Zi Feng, little brother, you can play all you want, but don't forget what I told you. If others offend you, you can get rid of them, and at worst, big sister will take the blame for you. But as for Hu Tingyu, he is absolutely not to be killed!"

  "Sister Ya, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

  PS: Let's take YY all the way, everyone collect and vote!
