"Huh?" The young clerk was overwhelmed by this sudden recruitment, and he didn't react for a long time.

Tang Lang smiled and continued: "Little brother, don't worry, you can think about it slowly for a few days! I will live in the city for a while, and I can come back to you in a few days!"

The young clerk's face showed an unbelievable expression, he took a deep breath, and replied: "President Tang, my name is Cheng Bao, and I am just a junior apprentice in the making of weapons, are you really willing to recruit me into your Chamber of Commerce?" The resort villa set up by the Yuanshui City Duobao Chamber of Commerce is also well-known in Liaochang City, and Cheng Bao has already heard of it.

Tang Lang saw that he was extremely sincere, so he also told the truth: "Brother Cheng Bao, don't be arrogant, any master starts with an apprentice." You said it yourself that almost no smith would heed my request, so why should I force it?"

"And I value your character very much! From beginning to end, you have always answered my questions, without any impatience, and have not been neglected because I don't buy anything, and you must have been sincere in your usual life. That's why I sincerely invite you to join my chamber of commerce!"

"My Chamber of Commerce still has a large number of brothers waiting to replace the spirit weapons, but they will all start with the most basic spirit weapons, just for you to practice, I believe that after you create hundreds of spirit weapons, how can you also be promoted to the weapon maker!

Cheng Bao suddenly became excited: "Really, President Tang is going to let me build a spiritual weapon, and there are hundreds of pieces?" Just like a beggar who had been hungry for three or four days and was suddenly given a fragrant and hot roast chicken, Cheng Bao was so happy that he almost fainted.

You must know that the success rate of making weapons may be worse than that of alchemy, and it is already a very high level to succeed in one out of ten builds in the apprenticeship stage, so it is usually difficult for him to find opportunities to practice.

"It must be difficult for me to take out hundreds of spiritual weapons at one time, but it is definitely no problem to provide ten or eight pieces every month!" Tang Lang had Duobao Villa as his backing, and he was very confident in his heart.

Cheng Bao had admired Tang Lang's willingness to spend a lot of money to build a prosthetic leg for his brother before, and now his eyes were full of scorching energy, where was he willing to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and resolutely said: "President Tang, don't think about it, I'll agree now!"

"That's right! Brother Cheng Bao, thank you for your trust, I will definitely make you satisfied! From now on, you are a member of the Duobao Chamber of Commerce Workshop, you can change your name to call me boss, "President Tang" sounds awkward, haha!" Tang Lang became very comfortable and laughed out loud.

Cheng Bao did things neatly, Tang Lang didn't wait long, he had already resigned from the store and followed Tang Lang on the streets of Liaochang City.

"Cheng Bao, Liaochang City is much more prosperous than Yuanshui City, and the materials for making utensils will definitely be a lot more sufficient, you take me to find a store with good quality and low prices, let's buy some back, and save yourself from buying them separately!" Tang Lang asked.

Cheng Bao was even more moved when he heard this, and happily replied: "Boss, you must be asking the right person! When I am not at work, I like to go to the shops that sell materials in the city, and I know almost all the shops well, so I will take you there!"

Cheng Bao really loves to make utensils, and he is in every store in the city

The materials were all clear, and it took Tang Lang two or three hours to buy all the materials he wanted, but the materials he purchased were all low-cost entry-level spiritual objects, and he didn't spend a single spare, which made Tang Lang feel that he had chosen the right person.

After the two finished shopping, they did not continue to wander on the street, but returned to Feng Honglang's official residence together, Tang Lang briefly told Wei Yuankui's situation again, first asked Cheng Bao to draft several refining plans, and then began to officially build after returning to Duobao Villa.

The next day, Feng Honglang came back from the county guard's mansion and learned the specific regulations of this annual meeting, in addition to announcing the results of the evaluation of each city lord in public, the candidates of each city participating in the annual meeting will also compete one by one, and finally compete for the top three rankings.

"I'll say it again, all personal grievances will be put aside for me during the annual meeting, no matter which one of you is, as long as you can represent Yuanshui City to enter the top ten, the city lord will definitely praise it greatly!" Feng Honglang admonished the three of them before telling the rules.

But the three of them reacted differently to this: You Ning's expression was serious, Wen Yuyu said that he would do it, only Tang Lang looked indifferent, which made Feng Honglang a little helpless.

"The three of you listen carefully, tomorrow night we will all attend the county guard dinner together, and you will give me your spirit at the banquet, don't embarrass Yuanshui City." “

Feng Honglang slowed down for a moment and began to explain the specific rules: "The competition starts early in the morning the day after tomorrow, and everyone will be awarded three county guard medals at the beginning, and the loser will hand over a medal to the winner during the competition, and the draw will not increase or decrease." So if the three of you meet each other, you have to deal with it as a draw, you know?"

Seeing the thoughtful looks of the three of them, Feng Honglang continued to emphasize: "You haven't grasped the point yet! This county guard medal is usually difficult to obtain, and it has a lot of wonderful uses, you can exchange it for a lot of useful things in the county guard mansion, even if you can't get a good rank, it's important to keep one more medal!"

Feng Honglang took out a small and delicate medal from his arms, only the size of a ring, the whole body was translucent, faintly emitting a layer of warm light, and it was carved from a complete spar.

"This is the county guard medal, it is the master in the county guard entrusted to the instrument association, although it is not a spiritual weapon, but there is a special anti-counterfeiting sigil made by the county guard, as long as you accumulate a certain amount, whether it is an elixir or a practice, or a spiritual weapon, you can even invite the master of the county guard to do things for you, you can cash it out!"

According to him, this so-called county guard medal is something that only knows among the upper echelons of Shao'an County, no wonder Tang Lang has never heard of it before, but since he knows the preciousness of this thing, he must do more during the annual meeting and strive to exchange for something useful.

Tang Lang thought of this, and unconsciously glanced at Wen Yuyu, but the other party also happened to look over.

Seeing that Tang Lang was looking at himself, Wen Yuyu pretended to smile generously and said, "Brother Tang, aren't you thinking about the medal on my body! The city lord just said that the three of us must cooperate with each other!"

Tang Lang smirked and said: "Brother Wen treats me well, how can I worry about those one or two medals?

You Ning snorted in his nose: "City Lord, why don't you introduce to us what are the noteworthy characters and confidants recommended by the City Lords today."

Only by knowing the other can we survive a hundred battles!"

Feng Honglang said: "That's right! I'm going to tell you about some Tianjiao people in Shao'an County, especially you Tang Lang, listen carefully to me!"

Feng Honglang spent half an hour to tell some noteworthy characters one by one, mainly introducing the eight characters known as the "Eight Masters of Shao'an", each of them is extremely talented, and has reached extremely high attainments at a young age, all of them are division-level powerhouses above the seventh grade.

Wen Yuyu and You Ning are both old people who have participated in many annual meetings, and the two of them have also had experience in fighting with some of the Shao'an Bajie, Feng Honglang's words are actually more for Tang Lang, and after speaking, he also threw a booklet to him, which densely wrote the introduction of Shao'an Bajie.

The three of them retired from Feng Honglang's room together, and on the way back to their rooms, You Ning walked a few steps faster, turned around and stopped the two: "Two, the city lord said too politely just now, if the three of us are lucky enough to meet during the competition, those with fewer medals should take the initiative to admit defeat and contribute the medals to increase the overall chances of winning in Yuanshui City." ”

Wen Yuyu nodded and said: "Brother You, don't worry, we have cooperated for many years, I understand this truth!

"They all treat me as a weak chicken!" Tang Lang saw that the other two looked like they were taken for granted, and immediately nodded in agreement, but secretly decided: "I will definitely surprise everyone in the competition the day after tomorrow!"

At the dinner the next day, Tang Lang wore a brand-new samurai costume to attend, looking refreshed, but it was a little shabby compared to Wen Yuyu, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, and the three of them left the official residence with Feng Honglang and went to the county guard's mansion.

Due to the need to welcome the city lords, several streets in front of the county guard have been under martial law, the ground is covered with dark blue carpets, and the red candles with the thickness of an arm illuminate the roads.

As Tang Lang walked, he looked at the people from the rest of the cities before and after, and found that there were indeed many people with fine eyes and long breaths, and the level of the entire cultivation was obviously more than a step higher than that of the Tianqing Kingdom, not only Shao'an Bajie, but everyone's strength had reached the division level or above, and there was only one of them at the rank of a scholar.

While he was looking at the rest of the people, many people were also looking at him, after all, a scholar-level cultivator came to participate in the county shou annual meeting was particularly eye-catching, and a graceful person came over, and said with a smile: "Brother Honglang, I haven't seen you for a year, but are you okay?"

"Thank you Brother Ba for your concern, it's okay, but it's not as rich as Mengshan City, which is rich in products and talents!" Feng Honglang replied indifferently.

The man surnamed Ba continued: "Speaking of talents, the little brother next to Brother Honglang is very tight-eyed, why is this cultivation...... Hey, hey!"

Without waiting for Feng Honglang to answer, Tang Lang rolled his eyes and replied strangely: "What is this uncle, what is his name?

"This uncle!" Feng Honglang almost laughed out loud when he heard this, and the man surnamed Ba was also choked on his chest and coughed.

"Tang Lang, don't be rude, this is Ba Shengrong, the city lord of Mengshan City, but one of the three richest cities in Shao'an County!" Feng Honglang pretended to reprimand.
