MTL - It’s Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill-Chapter 96 An invitation from the government

Chapter 96 Invitation from the government order

Sun Captou really felt like he was beeping.

Having to be beaten again for no reason.

 I just wanted to show off in front of my superiors, but now something like this happened again.

 But he didn’t even ask why because it was too late.

 Two constables had already dragged him outside.

 Soon, screams and the sound of slapping boards began.

 “You, lead the way!”

Sun Fuling pointed at Wu Youde.

Wu Youde didn't dare to neglect, he quickly led the way.

Soon, they bypassed the noisy streets and finally came to a secluded alley.

At this moment, there was no one in the alley.

 The doors of every house are locked.

Wu Youde pointed to a place, meaning that that was Zhou An's room.

Sun Fuling looked up at the old house and frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that such a character could be in such an old place.

But after all, he has sat in the position of governor, and he is well-informed.

He knows that some people have little quirks, which in the eyes of ordinary people are considered unique.

 But in the eyes of these people, it is extremely normal.

 For example, he once met a master who loved to eat spicy tofu pudding.

Even if he saw a heresy like this, he would frown.

 “Go and knock on the door.”

Sun Fuling was stunned for a while, and then asked Wu Youde next to him to knock on the door.

Wu Youde smiled bitterly. He did not expect that things would develop like this.

A small policeman, a person he has never even looked at, but at this moment, big shots want to come to his door one after another.

This situation is really rare in life.

Wu Youde even regretted it a little.

 He should not look down upon others and underestimate Zhou An.

At this time, he had no choice, because the government order had already been issued, so he had no choice but to walk to the door, raised his hand and knocked lightly.

Soon, I remembered the sound of footsteps.

 With the creaking sound of the wooden house, the door was opened.

 Zhou An stood at the door with a calm expression.

“Several adults came to my humble residence, and I don’t know what to say.”

 At any rate, he is a master who is about to enter the second-tier level. Of course he knows someone is at his door.

Even with his sharp five senses, he could sense it, but he didn't know why he came to him.

Thinking of this, Zhou An's eyes lingered on Wu Youde with a kind of contemplation.

 “If this guy is looking for trouble, have you found a way to solve it?”

 This is what he really thinks.

His character has always been like this. Only by eliminating all hidden dangers can he feel at ease.

　　When I think about it like this, my eyes naturally have a bit of a creepy feeling.

Wu Youde felt goosebumps all over his body.

 I always feel like a prey, being targeted by a hunter.

“Brother Zhou, this is the governor of Yunlai Mansion. He came here to see you for something.”

 Wu Youde even changed his title.

Zhou An nodded: "I wonder what the governor wants from me?"

At this time, he seemed to understand what Tiejiang Zhao meant. When a person's identity changes, the attitudes of the people around him will change.

 He remembered a sentence he heard in his previous life.

 When you are down, the people around you are bad people.

　　When you are prosperous, the people around you are good people.

 This world is so realistic.

Sun Fuling looked at Wang Meng next to him.

Wang Meng nodded imperceptibly, indicating that he did not recognize the wrong person.

“Brother, can you please come in? There is something wrong with discussing things here.” Sun Fuling said with a smile.

 When these words were spoken, Zhou An felt something was wrong.

The person in front of me, who is in a high position, should be a scholar himself, but his conversation has an air of quackery.

Sun Fuling seemed to have been used to it for a long time and knew what Zhou An was thinking, so he even explained it.

“I was born in poverty, became a monk halfway, and spent some time in the world of martial arts, so I naturally have the tone of a martial artist.”

Zhou An touched his chin: "Master Sun, he became a monk halfway and managed to reach his current position. He is really talented."

This is not meant as a compliment. A person like this who is a monk halfway and can hold a high position must be talented.

“Where is it, brother Zhou, can you let me come in and have a chat?” Sun Fuling continued to smile.

Zhou An thought for a moment, made way for others, and brought Sun Fuling and others in.

 There is enough light in the room.

 Zhou An made them a pot of tea and sat down.

You are a guest when you come to your door, and they come with a smile. There is no reason to drive them out with a broom.

 In Zhou An’s values, he has always adhered to one sentence.

People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.

　　It is difficult for such people to survive by using their cold buttocks to touch other people's warm faces.

“Yes, Brother Zhou is very good at picking tea. There is no such thing as good or bad tea.” Sun Fuling is worthy of being someone who has been around in the world, and he is not at all restrained.

At the scene, only Wu Youde was standing.

 He dared not sit down.

He had offended the two people in front of him all the time, so if he sat down blatantly, he was afraid that he would be put in the shoes.

“Master Sun, let’s get down to business. What on earth is going on that bothers a noble man like you to come to my place?” Zhou An asked.

 Sun Fuling was just polite, knowing that it was time to talk about business, so there was no unnecessary nonsense, so he pointed directly at Zhou An's waist.

“Brother Zhou must be a caster. The thing on your waist is not simple.”

When Zhou An heard this, he took a fancy to his own waist.

There is a pink money bag tied there, which contains his various equipment.

  For example, a frying pan and a long knife that you made yourself.

This money bag was given to him by Ye Shuang. The person who forged the money bag was the top supervisor of the craftsman and was also the uncle of Blacksmith Zhao.

 According to what Blacksmith Zhao said, it seems that the original blacksmith of the Casting Branch is focused on maximizing the characteristics of the objects he casts.

Zhou An raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Sun is overthinking this. This thing was given by my friend. I am not a Taoist, so I may disappoint you."

At this time, Wang Meng, who had been silent, spoke.

“This thing is extremely precious, how could anyone give it away indiscriminately?” Wang Meng said: “This is the way of the original blacksmith. Among the two existing branches, the original blacksmith and the spiritual blacksmith are completely different, which can be seen at a glance.”

“Oh?” Zhou An became interested and asked, “Who is this brother?”

Wang Meng cupped his hands and said, "I, Wang Meng, am also a former blacksmith. I was once fortunate enough to be the apprentice of the blacksmith's supervisor."

 Superintendent?

Zhou An was slightly surprised.

The so-called supervisor, that is, the head of the craftsman's supervisor, is Blacksmith Zhao's uncle. In other words, this Wang Meng is the apprentice of the supervisor's apprentice, and can be regarded as the nephew of Blacksmith Zhao.

 “This world is small enough.” Zhou An thought.

Sun Fuling smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, people in the Ming Dynasty do not speak secretly. Now the founding competition is in full swing. You have such strength, why don't you participate?"

This is actually the purpose of his coming here.

 To be honest, when a task is issued by the superiors, you have to be able to figure it out.

 Only when you think about it well can you complete it well.

 The Casting Competition is obviously taken seriously by the superiors, so it must be completed well.

 What constitutes a well-done job?

 In addition to ensuring fairness, we must also ensure quality.

 Quality is a big deal, no joke.

For example, the place where you are hosting finally selects some talents, but these talents are actually bad. What will you do then?

Although the superiors will not blame you, the image of your inaction will be remembered by the superiors.

Don't think about getting promoted and making a fortune. If something happens and makes your superiors unhappy, you will be rewarded when the time comes.

Therefore, Sun Fuling believes that the key to improving quality is to allow more people with real abilities to participate.

The more passionate you are, the better, so that you can be noticed by the superiors.

Zhou An is a smart man, and of course he knows what Sun Fuling is planning.

He pointed to Wang Meng next to him and said: "Brother Wang, with his status, must be very capable. He will definitely be able to shine when the time comes. There is no need for a nobody like me to participate."

Still, Zhou An didn't want to do anything.

 Having a golden finger, he is a real fish.

 No one messes with him, he is just a decent person.

　　If you come to provoke him, kill all those who offend him.

"It's different. With a few more people, it will be more lively. What's more, Wang Meng doesn't care." Sun Fuling still didn't give up.

Wang Meng nodded and said: "Building the Tao is a path that must be practiced for a lifetime. People of our generation must overcome obstacles and are not afraid of difficulties. How can we be afraid of a competition? The more masters there are, the more we can compete with each other and let ourselves Advance with great joy!”

 Zhou An touched his chin: "But, I'm really not a master."

　What Wang Meng said just now was very good, but it did not shake his heart at all.

Sun Fuling was still thinking of saying something.

Zhou An waved his hand and said, "Master Sun, I'm just a nobody. I really don't want to show up. If this is really the case, you don't have to say anything."

People living in this world must know how to refuse.

 Don’t be a pleaser.

 The word "reject" is easy to write, but difficult to learn. As long as you learn it, your life will be much smoother.

Sun Fuling chose to keep his mouth shut.

Having been in the world for so many years, he could feel that Zhou An seemed to have made up his mind.

 “Alas…” Sun Fuling sighed.

“In this case, I don’t want to persuade you too much. If Brother Zhou really wants to participate, he can go to Yunlai Mansion to sign up at any time.”

　　A twisted melon is not sweet.

Sun Fuling knew that the other party really didn’t want to go anymore, so he didn’t persuade him any more.

 He was very pressed for time, but he still found time to come here this time, so he left Zhou An's room without intending to stay longer.

Zhou An sent Sun Fu Ling and others to the door, then closed the door and continued to go to Ganshu Ding to make a knife.

 …

On the way back, Wu Youde kept greeting me with a smile.

Sun Fuling was silent, as if thinking about something.

"Master Sun, how about I come here to persuade you every day and find a way to persuade Zhou An to participate?" Wu Youde felt that this was the time for him to show off, so he hurriedly said.

Sun Fuling came back to his senses and shook his head: "You don't understand."

Wu Youde couldn’t understand what it meant and expressed confusion.

“Those who are able to stand out in every industry have been immersed in it for many years. Not to mention other things, they definitely have a perseverant heart. When they decide on something, even ten cows can’t pull it back.”

Sun Fuling sighed and said: "I can only say that I don't have this blessing. I won't say any more. I have to go. Remember, you must take good care of the place under your jurisdiction. If I don't find any laziness in you, I’ll make you walk around without food!”

Wu Youde shivered and said he understood.

 He remembered something again, which Qi Shuo told him, the master in the blacksmith shop.

So, he told the matter again in a flattering tone.

Of course, he hid Qi Shuo. After all, he still had to rely on the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce to climb up.

 So I attributed this matter to myself and said that I found it myself.

Sun Fuling originally planned to go back, but when he heard this, he felt a little moved.

The casting master just now is not willing to participate, then another one will participate.

This matter can also be partially solved, at least it will be fruitful.

 It’s not like every master has Zhou An’s temper, right?

Hmm, probably not.

Thinking of this, Sun Fuling quickly asked Wu Youde to lead the way.

Wu Youde thought that if he could get it done this time, he would definitely change his image in Sun Fuling's mind.

He did not hesitate and immediately led the way.

Soon, they arrived at Blacksmith Zhao’s blacksmith shop.

Sun Fuling walked in naturally.

 As a result, he saw a very unexpected scene.

 “Disciple Wang Meng! Meet my uncle!”

Wang Meng reacted very quickly, and in a flash, he was in front of Blacksmith Zhao.

 Master...Uncle?

What kind of weird operation is this?

Sun Fuling felt that there seemed to be too many surprises during today's trip to Anding County.

Blacksmith Zhao put down the hammer and was also very surprised.

"Wang Meng, aren't you staying at Yunlai Mansion? Why are you here today?"

We are all from the same school. Although my teachers and uncles are not easy to deal with, it is all a matter of my own family. Outside, everyone still loves each other and is a family.

Wang Mengyan explained it briefly and concisely, and then Blacksmith Zhao suddenly understood.

 He thought this person was specifically looking for him, but he didn’t expect it to be here.

 “I am Sun Zhisu, I have met Senior Zhao.” Sun Fu Ling said with cupped hands.

The top craftsman supervisor is of high seniority, and his junior apprentice’s apprentice is naturally of high seniority as well.

Those who are involved in official circles these days always have some discernment, not to mention that Sun Fuling comes from Jianghu and has a sense of Jianghu.

However, Sun Fuling is still a little regretful, because this casting competition is mainly for young people.

The person in front of me is no longer a young man.

 Chao Tiejiang is actually a very good person. As long as he is not allowed to do things he doesn't want to do, he is usually quite kind.

 So, facing Sun Fuling's smiling face, he also responded with kindness.

"Master Sun, it turns out that you are also here for that boy Zhou An, but you are in the wrong place. That boy is a stubborn donkey and will not be persuaded to come back."

When Blacksmith Zhao said this, he looked like he was gritting his teeth.

He had never seen such a person in his life, and he didn't even want to work as a craftsman's supervisor.

Sun Fuling sighed and said, "Yes, I think this game will be exciting if he is there."

 This is what he really thinks.

 But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Blacksmith Zhao.
