The puppet shop has been open for days.

Business is extremely deserted.

This made Qin Yu feel a sense of frustration.

"Alas, the fear still happened. ”

Qin Yuxiu's eyebrows tightened, and when he taught his students to cultivate, he was also absent-minded.

Thinking of Zhao Ming and a few students working so hard to help him refine the puppet, Qin Yu felt ashamed.

She hesitated for a moment before knocking on the dean's door.

"Teacher Qin is here, sit down. ”

"Dean, I'm ......"

Seeing that Qin Yu seemed to be unable to speak, Chen Ning said empathetically: "Is it because you are not feeling well? Then rest for a while, refining the puppet is tired, right? You don't have to worry about the student cultivation side, you can rest well." ”

"Dean, I'm here for the shop. ”

"Isn't the shop open well?" Chen Ning said lightly.

"That's the case, the shop doesn't have any income these days, and many people have some bad voices after learning that this puppet is refined with the secret art of the evil sect. ”

"Really!"

Chen Ning couldn't hide his joy and encouraged: "It's okay Teacher Qin, the academy has been in the academy for so long, and there are many bad voices, so you don't have to take it to heart." ”

"Dean, I think this matter is actually my responsibility, if I could refine the puppet with other materials, or make the puppet stronger, it wouldn't be where it is now. ”

"Dean, punish me. ”

Qin Yu said and spoke, only to feel that his nose was sore, and tears were sliding down.

"Teacher Qin, don't blame yourself too much. ”

Chen Ning got up and poured Qin Yu a cup of fruit tea, and continued: "Teacher Qin, do you know, I have been the dean for so long, this puppet shop is my most successful decision, and you have done it the best. ”

Seeing the dean's face full of sincerity, Qin Yu listened quietly.

"Teacher Qin, whether it is to control the water, or to compete for the Lingquan quota for the academy, including the destruction of the thief gang a few days ago, I think these things have been done in general, but the puppet shop is different, and I am most proud of the shop. ”

This is indeed Chen Ning's heartfelt words, the kind that digs out his heart.

"Teacher Qin, you are already very good, if it were me, I would never have imagined that I could use Ying Birch wood as the main material, and I would be able to complete the refining of the puppet so quickly. ”

"But Dean, the shop doesn't bring income to the college, and I failed. ”

"No, you succeeded, what do you have to fail, you conscientiously implemented my requirements, and did it well, it is me who will fail, not to mention, now we have not failed. ”

Chen Ning smiled at Qin Yu with a win-winning smile.

Qin Yu listened to it, and suddenly realized that what the dean said was right, the shop had only been open for a few days now, and it had not completely failed.

What's more, Qin Yu was greatly moved by the dean's sincerity.

There is no blame, only full of encouragement.

"Thank you, Dean, I won't be so discouraged again. ”

Qin Yu burst into tears and laughed, and went out to teach the students to cultivate.

Chen Ning was very happy in his heart, and leisurely checked the reputation of the system.

[Initial reputation for this stage: 2160]

[Academy's current reputation: 2200]

[Target reputation for this stage: 4000]

[Current Reputation Status: Decreased]

The puppet shop's plan was a great success, and good news came every day for the past few days, and it had to drop by dozens of points every day.

In this case, by the end of this stage, I am afraid that it will have to fall below 1,000. ”

Chen Ning was overjoyed.

It seems that a better tomorrow has been seen.

......

Castle Lord's Mansion.

The city lord Gu Yuan had a sad face, and on the floor, there was a broken porcelain bottle, and several subordinates were cleaning it up.

Looking at the few people coming and going, he became more and more irritable, and yelled: "Get out!"

The people went down in fear.

Gu Yuan's gaze fell on the shattered shards, and he had a headache.

Although he is the city lord of Cold Goose City, he has some power, but recently because of an incident, the pressure has increased sharply.

The night rain jungle hundreds of miles away is rich in an extremely precious material, malachite.

On the side of the imperial capital, a death order was issued to mine malachite in Hanyan City.

But how can it be so easy?

In the night rain dense forest, there is no cultivation for powerful spirit beasts to guard, but the environment is special, and it is rumored that thousands of years ago, several great powers fought here.

Several strong men fell.

As a result, this place is perennially filled with poisonous fog and has become a fierce place.

If an ordinary person goes in, he will die in a few breaths.

Even if a cultivated warrior steps into it, it is extremely difficult to survive.

There are only two ways to avoid being corroded by poison gas.

The first is that the strong people above the Lingwu Realm can protect themselves, but there is a certain chance that they will be affected by the poisonous mist to affect their qi and blood.

There may be some obstacles on the path of cultivation in the future.

There is also a situation, that is, there is no person with qi and blood to enter, but such a person is a dead person, how to collect malachite?

Although Hanyan City is large, it is also difficult to mobilize the powerhouses of the Spirit Martial Realm, which are the mainstays of the major power sects.

They can't count on it.

The time required by the imperial capital is getting closer and closer, and if this matter is not completed well, although it will not be a small life.

But I'm afraid that if I am extremely poor all my life, I will not even think about being promoted again.

"Your Excellency!"

The steward of the City Lord's Mansion rushed to Gu Yuan, panting.

"What's going on?"

"My lord, the Yanliu Chamber of Commerce said that it will take at least half a month. ”

"Half a month?

Gu Yuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the news brought by the steward was not good.

A few days ago, he accidentally learned that the Smoke Willow Chamber of Commerce was refining a kind of puppet called the Blood Golem, although it was not the right way, but it could solve the urgent need.

If you control the puppet to go to the night rain jungle to collect malachite, won't the problem be solved?

Puppets are mostly martial arts body refining, with essence and blood as the core, without the senses of a living person, and they are not worried about being affected by their qi and blood, and they are not afraid of being hindered in their cultivation in the future, so they are simply a perfect choice.

However, the news from the Smoke Willow Chamber of Commerce is that the blood puppet has not yet been successfully refined.

He sent the steward several times to ask, but to no avail.

And today, I got a very bad news.

At least half a month?

Then it will be too late.

"That's it...... That's it...... In a few days, I forcibly went to the night rain and dense forest. ”

Gu Yuan's eyes had a look of death in his eyes.

"My lord, there is another news, I came back from this trip, and I heard that Taiping College has opened a shop and also sells puppets. ”

The steward spoke.

When Gu Yuan heard this, his eyes froze, and he kicked on the steward, and thundered angrily: "You are still here to sell to me! Why didn't you say this earlier?"

"My lord, without further ado, I'll lead the way, let's go quickly. The steward said with a smile.

"If you dare to sell Guan Zi like this next time, Lao Tzu will kick you to death!

Gu Yuan scolded and scolded, but he still went out of the City Lord's Mansion with the steward.
