Chapter 53 East Sea Forging Association

"Of course, no problem. If you have any problems you can't solve in the future, you can come to me. As long as it's within my capabilities, I can help you." Chen Shilin nodded.

Gu You felt much more at ease, which would save him a lot of trouble in the future. For example, he could ask Chen Shilin for help with things like building his own faction.

……

After exchanging contact information, Gu You boarded a car and left. Next stop: Donghai City...

The following morning, Gu You left Tian Dou City aboard the Soul Island train marked with the East Sea symbol.

This is the second largest city on the East China Sea coast of the Sun and Moon Federation, and an important port, maritime transport, and marine resource development city.

The city has a permanent population of over five million and is very wealthy thanks to its utilization of marine resources. Even in the entire Sun and Moon Federation, it can be considered a first-tier city.

Donghai City also has a long history, and the city still retains its ancient style. In recent centuries, the Sun and Moon Federation has paid special attention to the protection of some ancient buildings. Therefore, in this ancient city, you can see many buildings that are thousands of years old.

At the Donghai City Soul Guidance Train Station, a dark blue Soul Guidance Train slowly entered the station and slowed down.

In the East China Sea, almost all soul-guided trains are predominantly blue.

The train came to a stop, and the doors opened. People filed off the train, many carrying large amounts of luggage. In an instant, the station became bustling with activity as crowds thronged towards the exit.

Gu You flicked his soul guide ring and followed the crowd out. It was his first time in this city, and he was curious about its appearance.

The roof of the train station was made of many metal pipes pieced together. Just by looking at it, he could tell that these metal pipes were all cast metal, made by the most common stamping process.

Looking back, I saw several large characters above the station behind me: Donghai Soul Guide Station.

Looking at this enormous building, Gu You couldn't help but secretly admire it. This station alone was already far more magnificent than many buildings from his previous life.

Turning around to look around, what came into view was a wide street, with towering buildings in the distance. Various soul-guided vehicles sped by on the street, and the bustling crowds gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.

Donghai City is very large. Although I don't know where the Blacksmith Association is, once I activate the Soul Guidance Positioning, the target is immediately clear.

Gu You walked entirely towards the Blacksmiths' Association.

Fortunately, the train station wasn't far away, and I saw my destination after walking for just over half an hour.

The Blacksmiths' Guild is easy to spot: a gray building about thirty stories high with a huge hammer emblem on it. With this emblem, there's no need for a nameplate at all.

Stepping through the glass doors on the first floor, you are greeted by a ten-meter-high glass wall with a relief of a giant golden hammer at least eight meters tall.

Although the Blacksmith Association is not as wealthy as the Mech Manufacturing Association, it is still an indispensable entity. Top blacksmiths have extremely high social status, even comparable to those mech manufacturing masters. To manufacture top-tier mechs, top-tier materials are required, and top-tier materials need to be processed by top-tier blacksmith masters.

The lobby on the first floor was very empty, with only two young women in gray business suits at the front desk.

"Handsome young man, who are you looking for?" A sweet-looking girl stood up and greeted Gu You as he walked over.

Gu You joked, "I'm definitely not here to see you. I'm here for a blacksmith level assessment."

"Pfft!" another voluptuous girl next to her laughed, "Look, even that handsome young man dislikes you."

The sweet-looking girl playfully scolded, "Yuanyuan, stop fooling around. You want to assess a blacksmith's level?"

Gu You nodded, in a good mood, and said, "Yes!"

The sweet-looking girl asked, "Are any of your teachers coming with you?"

Gu You shook his head. "My master and I can't ask you to help. Find a master named Cen Yue and tell him that my name is Gu You."

Gu You, who was familiar with the plot, remembered that as long as he met Cen Yue and revealed his identity, he would definitely be able to meet Mu Chen. As for why he didn't go directly to Mu Chen, it was mainly because he knew he couldn't contact these two receptionists.

Upon hearing the name Cen Yue, both girls' expressions turned serious. The sweet-looking girl quickly said, "Please wait a moment. I'll ask Master Cen Yue if he has time right now. Have you contacted Master Cen Yue using soul communication?"

Gu You shook his head again. How could he contact him without his number?

"Master Cen, a handsome young man is looking for you. Um, his name is Gu You." The sweet girl dialed the number and contacted him.

After hanging up the call, the sweet-looking girl said to Gu You, "Little brother, Master Cen happens to be free. Come with me."

As she spoke, she led Gu You to one side of the hall. The voluptuous young woman, Yuan Yuan, stuck out her tongue as she watched their retreating figures, muttering to herself, "I didn't realize! This handsome young man actually knows Master Cen, and why does he look so much like the guy in the recent news..."

The metal doors of the Soul-Guided Elevator opened in front of Gu You.

"Come on, come on up," the sweet girl said gently with a smile.

The sweet-looking girl said, "My name is Yun Xiaoling. Master Cen's office is on the fifteenth floor. I'll take you to see him first, and then he will take you to take the blacksmith level test."

"Thank you," Gu You said politely. He didn't have time for testing; he was mainly looking for Cen Yue to better communicate with Mu Chen.

Yun Xiaoling looked him up and down. Gu You was handsome and had the air of a young master from a wealthy family. In particular, he had deep eyes that would make any girl envious. Moreover, he was very polite and easy to like.

"Ding!" The elevator stopped on the fifteenth floor and the doors opened.

The walls were all silver-white metal, and the ceiling and floor were white. Clean and tidy, this was Gu You's first impression of the place.

Outside the elevator is a corridor, with doors on both sides of the corridor.

Yun Xiaoling led him to the side and stopped in front of a door with Cen Yue's nameplate on it, pressing the button on it.

"Master Cen, I am Yun Xiaoling. I brought that handsome young man with me."

"Hmm." A deep voice sounded, and then the door opened.

This is an office of about 30 square meters. A huge wooden table takes up almost a quarter of the space. Behind the wooden table stands a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties. He is not tall, but he is very burly with particularly broad shoulders. His deltoid muscles fill out his black shirt.

At that moment, he was looking at a blueprint on the table.

"Master Cen," Yun Xiaoling called softly.

"Hmm." Cen Yue raised his head and looked over...
