Chapter 283 Taking orders

Jiang Wuyue is already 28 years old this year. There is a ten-year age difference between them. How can there be such a big difference in strength?

A soul master grows fastest before the age of thirty. After that, as his body solidifies and his own genes are less improved, his cultivation speed will drop significantly.

Therefore, almost all Titled Douluo-level masters have laid a solid foundation before the age of thirty. The top masters can even reach the eighth ring cultivation before the age of thirty, and some even become Titled Douluo directly.

Jiang Wuyue was very confident that she would be able to reach the Titled Douluo level in the future, but that would be at least after she turned 40. And with Gu You's current background, he would probably be able to reach the Titled Douluo level before he turned 28!
But what he didn't know was that Gu You was much younger than he thought...

This guy's future was far beyond what he could have imagined.

"What's going on?" Long Yuxue asked angrily as she pulled Gu You out of the fighting room.

"Just a friendly match. To win merit." Gu You replied simply.

Long Yuxue looked at Gu You doubtfully, "Really?"

"Really!" Gu Youqing nodded.

Long Yuxue snorted, "That guy has always been rude, so ignore him in the future. Are you not hurt?"

"No, I'm fine." Gu You turned around.

Long Yuxue didn't see the situation when they fought, and said: "That guy is just brute force. But so are you. From this point of view, you are in the same system. No wonder he thinks so highly of you. But remember, you are from our special service department, do you know?"

"Yes, sir."

Long Yuxue said, "I just found a client for you, and Qiyue called me here. Let's go to the forging room, the client has already gone there."

"Ok!"

The forging room is also on this side of the living area, but unlike the operations room, it is located in a more remote location on the other side. There are limited sound insulation materials here, so in order not to affect other people, we can only choose this place.

As they walked, Long Yuxue said to Gu You, "I have invested all my wealth in you. If they ask you to do something that you cannot fulfill, don't agree to it easily. Don't damage things or ruin your reputation. If that happens, there will be nothing we can do."

Gu You did not explain too much, facts would always prove everything.

When I arrived at the forging room, there was indeed someone waiting at the door. She was a female officer who looked to be about 30 years old, with the rank of lieutenant colonel on her shoulders. She had a gentle temperament and was not particularly beautiful, but she had a kind of approachable feeling.

"Sister Rooney." Long Yuxue called out affectionately, took two quick steps forward, and hugged the female officer's arm.

Rooney smiled slightly, but her eyes fell on Gu You. "The blacksmith you mentioned is this guy?" Long Yuxue nodded. "Yes, he is new here and has just completed his commissioning. He is now undergoing special training with me. He is a good blacksmith."

A flash of surprise flashed in Rooney's eyes. A new recruit was directly promoted to second lieutenant? She had never heard of this. Although Gu You looked very young, she did not question his forging ability. Instead, she said politely, "Thank you for your help."

Gu You quickly saluted and opened the door of the forging room, "Two officers, please come in."

In the middle of the forging room is the forging table, and on the metal shelves on both sides are placed various rare metals, most of which were found by Long Yuxue for him.

Rooney glanced at the various rare metals on the metal rack and smiled, "You have a complete range of equipment here! I just don't know how far you can go."

Gu You also smiled and said, "I can forge it according to your requirements. What kind of metal do you want? Or what do you want to forge? I should be able to do it."

He did not directly explain his forging level, fearing that it would scare people, and people would certainly not believe it at first. It would be better to let the facts speak for themselves.

"Very confident! My request is not difficult." As she spoke, a light flashed in Rooney's hand, and a metal tube appeared.

The metal tube is about one meter long and has a cross-sectional diameter of about ten centimeters. It looks like the barrel of a gun.

Rooney said, "My rapid-fire gun barrel has been deformed due to overuse. Can you help me repair it? If possible, can you add some suitable rare metals to make it stronger? My firing rate will be faster and the duration will be longer. A good gun barrel is very important."

Gu You took the metal tube and looked at it.

From the outside, the rapid-fire gun barrel has not changed much, just a little twisted, but when you look through the hole, you will find that the metal tube is bumpy, which is obviously the change caused by continuous high-temperature burning. This gun barrel is no longer usable.

"Sir, how much merit are you willing to spend for this gun barrel?" Gu You rubbed his hands.

Rooney was stunned and laughed: "Shouldn't you blacksmiths be responsible for pricing?"

Gu You nodded, "Yes, but I have some different plans for repairing this barrel, and the merits required are also different. Generally speaking, it can be divided into three types. The first is to repair it directly, which only requires 100 merits. The second is to add some other metals to it as you said to make it stronger. I think the material of your barrel is still good, and it should be made of purple iron with a very high melting point. In this case, it will still melt like this. The power of your weapon itself should be very great. Therefore, even if other metals are integrated, it may still be damaged in the future. Therefore, the third way I give is that I will build a new barrel for you according to the standard of this barrel, which will solve the problem of overheating and melting once and for all."

Rooney became interested after hearing what he said, "How much do you charge for the last two methods? Can you solve the problem of my gun barrel's high temperature once and for all? This may be a bit difficult. You have to know that I am using a super-fast-firing cannon."

Gu You scratched his head. "I don't know much about weapons like cannons, but I think it shouldn't be a big problem. For the second method, I'll charge you 1,000 merits. For the third method, I'll need at least 5,000 merits."

Rooney was shocked when she heard Gu You's offer. One thousand merits can do a lot of things. Five thousand merits are enough for Gu You to be promoted from a second lieutenant to a lieutenant. This is not a small amount.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Long Yuxue was anxious when she heard this. She had a good relationship with Rooney, and Rooney was also very popular in the army. She was the first one to invite Rooney here just for... (End of this chapter)
