Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 279 Military Trade Orders
Chen Ping tried his best to keep a smile on his face, not wanting to show any weakness in front of a shrewd person like Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei said, "Of course, we've come to see the best of Shrek's most outstanding generation."

Then, Xu Jiawei changed the subject: "By the way, I'd like to thank you for pointing out the flaws in the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone. This prevented Starlight Auction House from suffering a loss of reputation."

"What you said about the drawbacks of the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone is completely correct. Forcibly absorbing it will only result in sudden death, not an explosion of the body."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping's lips twitched slightly. Less than an hour had passed since he raised the issue of the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, and Xu Jiawei had already reached the most accurate conclusion.

These conclusions were naturally drawn from human lives lost, but Chen Ping couldn't say for sure how many people had died.

But the death of just one person is probably not enough to satisfy Xu Jiawei.

Is this also part of Xu Jiawei's plan?
Let's see how this teenager reacts by taking a few lives, so we can talk about other things later?
Chen Ping glanced at Xu Jiawei without leaving a trace, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain.

You just know how to bully kids, don't you? Aren't you worried that I'll switch Xuanzi up halfway through the conversation and continue talking to you?

Fortunately, Xu Jiawei understood the principle of giving a sweet treat after scaring a child. Immediately, Xu Jiawei flipped his left hand, and there was something in his palm.

It was the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion, whose cultivation level started at 50,000 years and who could be called the Ice Jade Scorpion King.

The thick icy fog instantly caused the temperature in the 200-square-meter hall to drop sharply.

"I heard from Qingya that although Shrek Academy is well aware of the drawbacks of the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, they still want to participate in the auction."

"Anyway, this soul bone isn't worth much given its flaws. In that case, consider it a gift from senior to junior, hehe."

Chen Ping's lips twitched. "Not worth much money anymore?"
Xu Jiawei really dares to speak his mind.

You're saying this Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone is worth 30 million gold soul coins? That's utter nonsense.

Even considering that only Soul Masters with the ultimate ice attribute can absorb it, the actual value of this Soul Bone definitely surpasses Wang Dong's Golden Light Left Arm Bone.

At this moment, Chen Ping felt another surge of agitation within his martial soul. Faced with such a high-quality soul bone, it was clear that his martial soul was eager to move.

However, soul masters who are not of the ultimate ice attribute cannot absorb this soul bone, and their own martial soul is not of the ultimate ice attribute, so can they subdue this soul bone?
Seeing that Chen Ping only glanced at the soul bone and then made no other move, with a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but nod in approval.

With such composure, it's no wonder that Elder Xuan entrusted Chen Ping with full responsibility for all matters; he truly is quite calm and collected.

"Alright, compared to what I'm about to say, this is just a small gift. Please accept it, junior."

Xu Jiawei took out a soul guide storage bag, the same type used by Shrek Academy, and put the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone into it before continuing to speak.

"I heard that Junior Brother Chen Ping is Dean Qian's top student. He is not only highly skilled in the art of fighting spirits, but also has a deep understanding of the path of soul guidance. At the age of twelve, he is already a second-level soul guide master, which is truly commendable."

"I've come here today not only to thank you, Junior Brother Chen Ping, for preventing the Starlight Auction House from suffering a loss of reputation, but also to discuss with the academy the procurement of the new type of flying soul tool you will be using in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition."

really!

Chen Ping's eyes narrowed slightly. This old fox had finally gotten to the point after all that talk. "I wonder what types of flying soul tools you'd like, and how many you need?"

Chen Ping's eyes lit up, and he quickly sat up from the sofa, flipping his wrist to pull out paper and pen.

This capable demeanor immediately made Xu Jiawei feel uneasy.

Why did he feel that by opening his mouth, he had suddenly led Chen Ping into his most familiar territory?
"Yes, we need a batch of new level-two flying soul tools that can be used by Grand Soul Masters, and a batch of new level-four flying soul tools whose parameters are far superior to those of the Sun Moon Empire's standard flying soul tools."

"We also need a small number of the heavy flying soul guide fortresses that you previously demonstrated at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition, which allow soul masters weighing over a thousand pounds to unleash their firepower from high altitudes using fortress tactics."

After careful consideration, Xu Jiawei stated his needs.

"No problem, but I have to explain first that whether it's the level 2 flying soul tool I used before or the level 4 flying soul tool fortress my senior brother used, the fan blades of the activation device are made of special steel."

"This special steel needs to be manually refined from high-quality steel, and the production capacity is extremely low, making it impossible to supply on a large scale."

"So, senior, if you want to purchase this type of new flying soul tool in large quantities, we can only make the fan blades with hundred-fold forged steel at most, and the performance will be reduced by about 10% to 20%."

"Of course, in addition to this export version of the flying soul tool, we can also provide one or two samples made of special steel with performance parameters that are exactly the same as the flying soul tool we use. This can be considered a free gift."

The special steel that Chen Ping mentioned is naturally the so-called high-quality steel that has been forged thousands of times.

Currently, he is the only person in the entire Douluo Continent who has mastered the Thousand Forging Technique.

He could work himself to death to produce enough refined steel for hundreds or thousands of new flying soul guides.

As is customary on Earth, the performance of export versions of weapons is usually reduced to some extent, so this is a lucky coincidence.

As he spoke, Chen Ping's hands moved swiftly, quickly listing the parameters of the three types of flying soul tools and handing them to Xu Jiawei. Then he took out another sheet of paper.

"How many flying soul tools does the senior need for the first batch of purchases? How many rounds of purchases are needed? What is the purchase cycle?"

"Besides that, do you need me to send over a batch of samples first? As for signing the contract, I don't have Shrek's official seal here. I'll have to wait until after the competition to go back and use the seal."

"Gudu."

Xu Jiawei swallowed hard. As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise, and it was clear that he wasn't very familiar with the series of matters Chen Ping mentioned.

However, while he was unfamiliar with the procurement process, he could still look at the parameters of the flying soul guide device.

The list Chen Ping presented made Xu Jiawei's mouth water. He saw all the parameters of the flying soul tools on it.

If the standard flying soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire are half a generation behind those of the Star Luo Empire and the other two major empires, then the new flying soul tools that Chen Ping took out are a generation behind those of the Sun Moon Empire at the same level!
