Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 220 A transmigrator who doesn't worry about money isn't a good transmigrator.

After leaving the Mech Association, Gula went straight back to his class.

The moment the classroom door was pushed open, the metal hinges made a soft creaking sound. Afternoon sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the dust particles suspended in the air with exquisite detail.

He noticed that at least seven or eight groups were engaged in heated discussions, with mech designs spread out on the table, and some people had even taken out metal objects to simulate movements.

"Gula!"

Wu Siduo's voice cut through the noise. Today, she wore her hair in a high ponytail, a rare sight for her, and her skin appeared even paler against her black combat uniform. As she waved, the soul-guided bracelets on her wrists, inherited from the Netherworld Clan, glowed with a faint blue light.

As Gula approached slowly, he noticed that this small group was clearly separated from the other students, maintaining a distinct distance.

Zheng Yiran was scrutinizing him with the unique green eyes of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, while three constantly rotating metal ingots floated in front of Luo Guixing, seemingly plotting something.

"You've come at the right time. Our class was doing a collaborative battle armor forging project in groups, and we're still missing a core blacksmith. Tang Wulin told me you're a level 5 blacksmith. Would you like to join our group?"

Gula glanced around the classroom and noticed the awkward atmosphere. He asked, "Why don't you go find Tang Wulin? He should be able to stabilize his spirit forging by now, right?"

"Don't mention him."

Wu Siduo tapped the table with her knuckles, "That guy Tang Wulin..."

She suddenly bit her lower lip. "You know that our first-year assessment is to design and build a white mecha."

"After discussing it, we, the class committee members, decided to forge battle armor parts. We believe that even if we can't forge a complete set of one-word battle armor, we can still gain experience and pass the assessment along the way."

"But that guy was so naive as to want to directly manufacture battle armor parts made of spirit-forged alloy. He was also unwilling to give up the two low-level students in the group, Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan, so as you can see, we broke up."

Wu Siduo stared at Gula, "Give me a straight answer, are you coming or not?"

Their group already has a blacksmith, Yang Nianxia, ​​a level three blacksmith, but she is far inferior to Gula, a level five blacksmith.

Moreover, unlike Tang Wulin, they didn't know anyone in their group, so they naturally had to focus on forging their own battle armor first. Therefore, if Gula joined, Yang Nianxia would have to leave the group and rejoin another team.

Even though Yang Nianxia was unwilling, there was nothing she could do about it. At Shrek Academy, highly talented students had special privileges.

"Why would I choose you?" Gula raised an eyebrow slightly. "Or rather, what advantages does your group have?"

"Unless you can produce rare metals that are not available through ordinary channels."

Gula looked at the first heir of the Netherworld Clan with great interest.

In their group, Zheng Yiran's family, the Bilin family and the Youming family, both have considerable influence, while Luo Guixing and Yang Nianxia have relatively "ordinary" family backgrounds.

Even though these two families cannot compare to the Angel Family behind Le Zhengyu, they are still not to be underestimated.

The Netherworld Clan, in particular, has a history of over 20,000 years. Even after separating from the Star Luo Empire, it has still retained a considerable amount of valuable connections and resources.

Wu Siduo clenched her fists. Her identity was no secret; the two martial souls she possessed explained everything.

"My family does have some access to rare metals, but it's just a one-word battle armor, so we don't need very good rare metals for now, right?"

She felt that Gula was asking for too much.

Gula nodded and walked to their group table.

“You’re right, but I’m different,” Gula pushed back his seat and sat down. “Like Tang Wulin, I have no difficulty forging thousand-refined metals, so I can directly forge spirit-forged alloys.”

“The difference is, I will skip the one-word battle armor and directly forge two-word battle armor. I don’t need your help with design and manufacturing; just provide some rare metals as payment, and I can forge the metals needed for your battle armor.” “Two-word battle armor!” Luo Guixing, who had been silent all along, couldn’t help but question, “How is that possible! Are you already a level six blacksmith?”

"What success rate can you guarantee for stable metal melting and forging?"

"Don't worry about it, I won't lie to you."

Gula's attitude was lukewarm. The group was forging a one-word battle armor, and the rare metals they could produce were limited. If it weren't for the fact that they were forging the Heavenly Forged Mech, he wouldn't have paid any attention to them at all.

If not for the fact that everyone had a large family supporting them like Wu Siduo, he would want to help all his classmates forge rare metals whenever he thought about the future shortage of rare metals.

Wu Siduo didn't answer, staring intently at Gula, recalling the powerful soul force and oppressive feeling she had when facing Gula.

Although Gula did not answer, his confident demeanor was undoubtedly the best answer.

A fourteen-year-old level six blacksmith!

Only those who understand the concept of a blacksmith can comprehend the terrifying nature of this answer.

Luo Guixing understood the answer and wished he could agree on Wu Siduo's behalf. Gula's forging talent was enough to make him set aside his pride as a genius and befriend him.

However, he is only backed by a small family, and whether he can cooperate with Gula depends on the decisions of Wu Siduo and Zheng Yiran.

The classroom fell silent for a moment; no one spoke. They needed time to process this astonishing news.

Thinking about it carefully, Tang Wulin, with only a second-level cultivation, was able to become a fifth-level blacksmith. Gula is even more monstrous than him, so it doesn't seem hard to accept that he could be two levels higher.

However, whether it's forging or cultivation, it becomes increasingly difficult to fight beyond one's level as one progresses, especially since the gap between the two is so vast.

Without much thought, Wu Siduo stared blankly at Gula, the figure in her heart growing larger and larger, gradually filling her entire heart.

“We don’t need spirit-forged metal. Even if you could forge it, it would be difficult for us to complete the design, manufacturing, and repair processes. But we can cooperate in advance.”

"Oh, tell me."

Gula understood immediately, and a look of interest appeared on his face. His deep eyes seemed to see right through Wu Siduo's thoughts.

Wu Siduo felt a pang of guilt at first, then forced herself to maintain her usual pride and look directly at Gula:

"Our group members are all at least level three secondary professions. As long as you can consistently provide thousand-refined metal, you can complete one-third to one-half of the Word Battle Armor before the final exam."

"But in the second year, I hope you can continue to provide us with metal as payment..."

Wu Siduo took a deep breath: "I can help you purchase metals through the Netherworld Clan's channels."

This is not just for assessment, but also for investing in Gula's future.

Invest in the future of a master craftsman!

You don't need much personal favor; just leaving a good impression is enough.

"can."

Gula nodded. He knew that Wusiduo wouldn't be foolish enough to hand over the family's distribution channels to others. It would be good enough if she could help with the procurement of metals.

Rare metals have always been controlled resources. Large-scale procurement would definitely attract the attention of the Federation, since in addition to the Sky Forged Mech envisioned by Gula, the fixed-mounted Soul Guidance Shells would also require a large amount of rare metals!
