The night is about to fall.

In the top private club in Jingnan City, in the largest and most luxurious private room, a group of people are staggered, and the atmosphere is warm and orderly.

Zhao Shiying was the first, holding a glass of "Jiangjin Wine" grape aging that cost 16,888 federal coins in his hand, and raised his glass to everyone with a smile.

"Come on, everyone."

There were more than a dozen people sitting around the large round table, all of whom were senior leaders of the major cultivator equipment related companies of the Earth Federation.

These big men who usually dominate the federation and stomp their feet casually will cause the federation's business shock, but at this time, in front of Zhao Shiying, they are as well-behaved as little sheep.

Hearing Zhao Shiying's invitation to drink, even if someone had already drunk and his face turned red, he still smiled and drank it all.

After a round of drinking, Zhao Shiying put down his wine glass.

"Forgive me, the old man has drunk so much, but he can't accompany you to continue drinking."

Everyone immediately smiled, and they all put down their wine glasses, and many people were relieved.

Although Zhao Shiying and Old Man Zhao are over eighty years old, because of his strong strength, in fact, even if he drinks so much wine, it will have no effect on him.

The senior leaders of the major companies here, although many of them are also good monks, cannot be compared with Zhao Shiying, and naturally cannot compete with him for the amount of alcohol.

However, Zhao Shiying is extremely addicted to alcohol, if he can't have a drink with him today, everyone is afraid that it will be difficult for everyone to get anything practical from him.

Fortunately, after all, the old man has been in the wine field for a long time, knows how to stop in moderation, and takes the initiative to give them a step, which naturally makes everyone's hearts feel very comfortable.

So after a period of politeness, everyone chatted and ate at the same time, and after chatting like this for a while, Zhao Shiying suddenly looked careless and stretched out a hand.

"Okay, drink well, eat well, bring the things."

Everyone was stunned.

"Old man Zhao, you said to bring it...... What to bring? A person sitting diagonally across from Zhao Shiying asked.

Zhao Shiying smiled: "Today you let me see that flying sword design competition, don't you just want to make some efforts on this." ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and they all showed a hint of embarrassment.

The flying sword design contest that was held at the exhibition today was nominally organized by the Jingnan City Government to give people in Jingnan City who are interested in flying sword design an opportunity to compare and communicate with each other, but in fact, behind the scenes, this competition was actually sponsored by these large companies and supported by the city government.

The purpose of this is, of course, to Zhao Shiying.

After learning in advance that Zhao Shiying was going to return to his hometown, these companies had already made preparations, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity of the refining master's return to his hometown to dig out something valuable from him.

Inviting him to participate in the exhibition is only one of the steps, and let him see that the flying sword design competition prepared this time is the most important thing.

If you can get some guidance and opinions on refining from the mouth of this well-known refining master in the galaxy, or even just a sentence, the value it brings is incalculable.

But everyone didn't expect that Zhao Shiying would say this so bluntly.

They could expect that Zhao Shiying could see their purpose, because they hadn't tried so hard to cover it up, but they didn't expect Zhao Shiying to be so direct.

"This ...... Master Zhao, we don't have any malicious intentions, we just ...... It's just that it's rare for you to come back, so I'd love to hear some of your advice. It's like...... Ahem, it's like you instructed Chairman Liu today. ”

Another deputy director of a large company coughed lightly and took over, but pointed the conversation at Liu Dezhao, who was not qualified to participate in this dinner at all.

"Humph! Don't mention that guy in front of me. Hearing Liu Dezhao's name, Zhao Shiying snorted coldly and stretched out his hand to everyone again. Alright, stop talking nonsense, take it all. I have a remote meeting with the Monks in a moment, and I can only give you an hour. ”

Hearing Zhao Shiying say this, everyone looked at each other, immediately put down all the politeness just now, and set their eyes on a middle-aged man sitting next to Zhao Shiying.

His name is Zhao Mingge, he is an advisor to the Monk Management Committee of the Jingnan City Government, and he is also the vice chairman of the Joint Conference of Monks and Equipment of the Greater China Region of the Earth Federation, and more importantly, he has the same identity as Zhao Shiying, and he is considered Zhao Shiying's grandchild according to his generation.

In addition, he is also the nominal head of the flying sword design competition at this exhibition.

Because of this relationship, he not only attended this banquet today, but was also arranged to sit next to Zhao Shiying.

Sensing everyone's eyes, Zhao Mingge smiled and picked up a briefcase from his side.

"Uncle, please take a look."

"I know it's you."

Zhao Shiying snorted lightly, unceremoniously snatched the briefcase from Zhao Mingge's hand, reached out to scoop it in, and took out a thick stack of drawings.

Zhao Shiying glanced at it and frowned.

"Isn't that right? It shouldn't be the only thing. I think there should be more than two or three hundred people participating in the competition, and even if there should be one for one person, there should be more than two hundred. ”

"Uncle, you have limited time, and you're afraid of getting tired of your uncle, so ......"

"Take them all." Zhao Shiying unceremoniously interrupted him.

"Yes."

Zhao Mingge immediately shut up, answered, got up and went to the corner to get another larger briefcase, and respectfully handed it to Zhao Shiying.

Zhao Shiying took it over, took out the drawings that were several times thicker, and put them on the table casually, starting with the dozens of drawings that Zhao Mingge gave him before.

Everyone instantly held their breath at the same time, not daring to make any more sounds, one by one concentrated, and looked at Zhao Shiying intently.

In that flying sword design competition, in fact, a group of flying sword designers sent by the company were inserted into the company that each person represented, the purpose was to mix some of the company's flying sword designs into it, hoping to get Zhao Shiying's special attention, and it was best to get corresponding opinions and suggestions from him.

If he can personally guide them, it will undoubtedly be a great help to their design progress.

While there is a danger that this exposes the company's design proposal, the risk is nothing compared to the benefits gained.

Zhao Shiying looked down for a while, and suddenly looked up and glanced at everyone again.

"Say it in advance, I have limited time, at most I will give a simple opinion on each drawing, and the time will not exceed one minute, even if you have heard it, I will not say more."

"Of course, of course."

Everyone nodded yes again and again.

Don't say a minute, even a word, and they don't complain.

You must know that with Zhao Shiying's current identity, it is impossible for them, who are only companies with some fame in the Earth Federation, to invite him and let him give design suggestions.

Even a company specializing in the production of flying swords in the Earth Federation once offered him a sky-high price of 10 million federal coins, but he still refused.

And now, he is willing to give each drawing a minute!

Zhao Shiying lowered his head again, picked up the drawings in front of him and glanced at them, and then showed them to everyone.

"This design is typical of overexertion. The monks' pursuit of the power of the flying sword is not so extreme, and striking a balance is the most important. This design places too much emphasis on the power of the flying sword, which will cause too much energy to be introduced at one time when the circle is running, which will cause an excessive load on the flying sword, and the 'Planger constant' will exceed the standard...... Well, at least 7 percentage points, so ......"

……

"The design on this drawing is too mediocre. It can be seen that he wants a little bit of everything, but doing so completely loses the meaning of design......"

……

"It's not bad, it's a bit creative, but the balance is not good enough, and some details are not in place. For example, this node would be better and more stable if it was replaced with a quel'Salas structure......"

……

"What the shit is here! It's much better for a three-year-old to draw a random one than him! How dare you even pick up such a thing? ”

……

……

After such comments, Zhao Shiying really only gave a brief evaluation of each design drawing, and occasionally put forward a little opinion, but in general, it never took more than a minute.

But it was such a simple comment, which fell into the ears of everyone present, but it was like a treasure, and their eyes lit up, for fear of missing every word Zhao Shiying said.

Even the content of his scolding, everyone didn't dare to ignore it at all.

Because they know that even if it is the "shit" that Zhao Shiying said, it is fragrant.

In fact, if you want to say it, some of these candidates are from major companies hidden in, and the vast majority of them are from the private sector, and the level is uneven, and it is natural to be scolded by Zhao Shiying.

However, when Zhao Shiying scolded the 127th drawing, he suddenly paused.

"This one...... Hey? This ......"

Zhao Shiying frowned slightly, changed his previous casual appearance, and actually brought the drawings in front of him, stopped his mouth, and watched them carefully.

Seeing him like this, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

What kind of drawings would make Master Zhao show this demeanor?

After a while, Zhao Shiying raised his head, his eyes swept over the people on the table, and patted the drawing in his hand.

"It's a very good design, it's well-balanced in all aspects, and it's almost impossible to find anything wrong, the only pity is that it's a little bit lacking in creativity and not daring enough. But even so, it's one of the best of these drawings. ”

He looked at the crowd again, smiled and continued: "I don't need to tell me who this designer is, I just need to tell you that he is a designer who is worth cultivating for you now." If you cultivate it carefully, I am diligent enough, and even if I can't catch up with me in the future, I will be much better than most of the waste in the Federation. ”

Hearing that Zhao Shiying actually gave such a high evaluation, everyone was suddenly surprised in their hearts.

This is the first time he has given such a positive assessment tonight.

The eyes of the crowd looking at the drawing instantly became eager.

If the person who designed this circle is from any of their companies here, then it is certain that this designer is bound to become one of the hottest core circle designers in the entire Earth Federation after tonight.

Because, he was appreciated by Master Zhao!

Zhao Shiying glanced at the drawing in his hand again, nodded with satisfaction, picked up the next one, looked at it for a while, and smiled even more.

"Well, that's good. It can be seen that this drawing is from the same person as the previous one. Compared to the previous one, the design on this drawing is more radical, so it is a little less balanced and more wrong, but it can be seen that he deliberately added some creativity. It's a very appreciable attempt, and as a flying sword designer, I can't be bound by my own preconceived mind, and I appreciate him. ”

Zhao Shiying's words made everyone's hearts even hotter.

Many people have already made up their minds in their hearts.

If this person does not belong to any of the companies here, then he must be recruited as soon as possible and become an employee of his own company.

Even if he belongs to one of the companies, then you have to dig him up as much as you can!

Zhao Shiying carefully read the second drawing in his hand, nodded, opened the other one below, and only glanced at it, but his face suddenly changed.

Although he only glanced at it, he could already be sure.

The magic circle on this drawing looks very different on the surface, but the actual core is almost the same as the core circle of the second-generation "moth" type flying sword that Zhang Dezhao showed him before!

"Zhang Dezhao's waste, has the core content of the new flying sword launched by his studio been exposed?"

After the anger, Zhao Shiying's eyes swept over the drawings, but he couldn't help but sigh softly.

With his ability as a galactic civilization refining master, he could naturally easily see it.

The design circle on this drawing perfectly discarded all the problems of the core circle in the "Moth" type flying sword, and made almost perfect improvements, solving all the problems he had raised with Zhang Dezhao before.

Even for the problems he hadn't mentioned to Zhang Dezhao before, some changes had been made to the design of this magic circle.

Strictly speaking, this circle design is not perfect, and many details are reflected in it, and even make people suspect that it is from a pure novice who is new to flying sword design.

However, from a purely design intent perspective, this is almost a perfectly fit, near-flawless circle!

Zhao Shiying's hand involuntarily trembled slightly.

"When did such a brilliant genius designer appear in the Federation?"

His gaze moved upwards to see the two clearly erased words above the drawing, and wondered.

This is supposed to be the place of the signature, but it has obviously been altered.

"Was the designer unwilling to reveal his name, or was it maliciously altered?"

Zhao Shiying groaned slightly, folded the drawing, and put it in his arms.

He didn't avoid everyone at all, but everyone just watched, and although they were strange in their hearts, they didn't make any comments.

After doing this action, Zhao Shiying suddenly felt a little excited and waved his hand.

"I'll take the rest of the drawings back and read them slowly, and I'll let Ming Ge bring them back to you the day after tomorrow."

Naturally, everyone didn't dare to have any opinions, and nodded yes one after another.

"Come, keep drinking!"

Zhao Shiying raised his glass, and everyone hurriedly raised their glasses in response.

After a glass of wine, Zhao Shiying still lingered in his mind with the two words he had just seen.

After the second word was smeared, I couldn't see the end, but the first word was originally relatively simple, although it was smeared, it can still be seen that it is vaguely a "square" word.
