Magic Tech’s Lair

"Your boy is famous now, what do you think you can do?"

Manager Xiao said in a teasing tone, "Maybe he came to ask you to propose marriage."

He added: "I like the gift you gave me yesterday."

He was referring to the branches of the world tree.

Cao Yan smiled and said, "It's best if you always like it."

Director Xiao hummed and said: "Then you go to the reception room. I don't want to argue with those people. I'm old. If I have the time, I might as well take a rest." After speaking, he hummed a little song and walked upstairs.

Cao Yan came to a reception room on the third floor alone.

In the room, apart from supervisor Xu and a vice president of the association, there was another executive-level boss, and three or four young people including Ji Wen, but these people were all accompanying guests.

The rest are looking for Cao Yan.

There were indeed a lot of people, most of whom were members of the Central Domain family who had been to the auction house yesterday, represented by the Leng family from Leng Yuexiu, sitting around a long table. In addition, there was a member of the Master Association, who was also sitting in the reception room.

"Short extension..."

Seeing Cao Yan coming in, many people greeted him.

After Cao Yan returned the gift and chatted with the crowd, he realized that the purpose of their visit was to seek technical support.

All professional families with a long history will more or less save some supernatural and mysterious objects with ancient origins in the long historical continuation. And most of these things are related to the semiotic system. If you want to open it, decipher it, or find out the hidden secrets, you must rely on semiotic means.

For example, the headquarters of the Pet Master Association also has a department that specializes in deciphering related supernatural things.

The research team led by Cao Yan at the headquarters is also responsible for this aspect.

From the technical level of semiotics, Cao Yan is obviously so awesome that it explodes.

Therefore, people from these ancient families stayed in the magic capital just to seek technical help.

Yesterday, taking advantage of the opening of Cao Yan's auction, everyone went to make a fool of themselves, and today happened to be at the door for business.

The people who came to find Cao Yan are all members of professional families with status.

The questions they ask for technical support are very difficult, but correspondingly, the rewards are extremely generous.

Ji Wen and other young people from several associations followed along and secretly counted. The people who came to see Cao Yan were 11 ancient families from the Central Region. Regardless of the income from remuneration, it was just the befriending of these ancient families. Personal connections are an intangible wealth, so don't want to be envious.

At this time, a middle-aged man named Leng Bin, the representative of the Leng family who was born in Leng Yuexiu, was speaking:

"If Yan Shao is willing to help our family decipher an ancient artifact that has been passed down for a long time, no matter whether it is successful or not, our family is willing to provide property, or some rare items collected by the family as a reward. What does Yan Shao think?"

"Ding!"

Just as Cao Yan was about to respond to Leng Bin, a soft voice suddenly sounded in his consciousness.

The fake system released new tasks.

[Task] Acquisition of biological genes (including but not limited to Warcraft)

[Mission Description] These professional families have accumulated a lot of tyrannical creatures that were subdued or captured by the strong family members over the long years, and have hoarded a large number of biological remains. Ask the host to obtain the remains of these creatures and send them to the spacecraft to extract the genes

[Time limit] Non-time limit tasks, no time limit

[Rewards] Depending on the biological genes obtained, different levels of points or item rewards will be given.

Cao Yan quickly filtered through the task requirements in his mind, looked at the members of the ancient family around him, and opened his mouth: "Everyone, we have a pleasant experience of cooperating in the ancient continent. I will definitely try my best to help everyone entrusted."

He continued: "However... I am currently collecting all kinds of paleontology-related things for research and collection, such as paleontology bones, feathers, fur, or blood. This time, I will help you solve semiotics. What do you ask for rewards?" If you can provide similar items in exchange, Cao Yan will be very grateful."

Commander Cao also said similar things to Chang Mu in the ancient continent.

At this time, let’s talk about the past and the future, seamlessly.

As a pet master, what he said is actually a reasonable and normal suggestion. Many pet masters are experts in paleontology and love to collect paleontology.

Everyone just froze for a moment, and then agreed one after another.

Cao Yan blinked, and immediately began to discuss their commission with everyone.

Some members of the ancient family have been prepared for a long time, and they have already contacted the family in the central domain after staying in the magic capital. They even took out the relevant information of the item they wanted to seek technical support and showed it to Cao Yan.

In the following morning, Cao Yan stayed in the association, discussing with people from various families about their entrustment.

Near noon, Cao Yan made an appointment with each family to continue in the afternoon, so Cao Yan was about to leave the association and go to have lunch with his own Shuiling cabbage.

Just as he walked out of the reception room, someone called him behind him. It was a female mage with a slightly narrow face. She was almost middle-aged, but she had a good temperament and gave people a very gentle feeling.

There is a flame embroidered on the chest of the female mage's robe, which shows that she is a mage who majors in elemental fire magic.

When Cao Yan entered the reception room just now, he saw this female mage present, and knew that she was a follower of Sona, the president of the mage association, and her name was Rita. But she has never participated in the communication between the major families and Cao Yan.

After chasing him out at this time, he obviously wanted to have a private chat with Cao Yan.

She came to Cao Yan and said: "Our president has something to do, let me ask Yan Shao. Could you please tell us who entrusted you with the branch of the world tree that appeared at the auction yesterday? The auction house, or please Yanshao help us get in touch with it, our president wants to buy another World Tree branch."

He said again: "President, she is about to launch an impact on the new realm of mages, and she needs a good magic wand to assist, and the branches of the world tree are the best materials for making wands. Yesterday's auction, those few The aristocratic family in the central domain increased the price too fast, we did not carry enough money, and missed the bidding opportunity for the branch of the world tree with a little hesitation, so I came to Yanshao to see if there is a chance, and then help us find a branch of the world tree , even if it’s a little smaller.”

Cao Yan's thoughts changed sharply, and he thought to himself: I was still thinking about how to help the Dark Bishop faction open the situation and let them gain a foothold in the Southern Region. Here comes the opportunity...

...

Magic City, Mage Association.

noon time.

Rita returned to the association briskly and entered an office on the top floor.

"President, I just came back from the Pet Masters Association. This is what Yan Shao asked me to bring to you, take a look."

Rita took out a box and handed it to Sona, the president of the Mage Association.

When Rita came in, Sona was sitting on a rocking chair near the window, flipping through thick magic books, with very traditional gold thin-rimmed tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of her nose.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Rita, put down the ancient book, and unhurriedly took the box that Rita handed over. After opening it, she was a little surprised to see a branch of the world tree lying horizontally in it.

The branch is vigorous and ancient, with two vibrant leaves at the top, like emerald jade, exquisite like a work of art.

"Cao Yan said it was a small gift from him to the president," Rita said.

"Gift? What else did he say?" Sona asked with narrowed eyes.

"Yan Shao said that he happened to have something to ask for, and it was about the Dark Bishop Sect..."

Balabala, Rita told Sona about Cao Yan's statement about the sect of the Lord of Darkness preparing to enter the Southern Region.

The reason why Cao Yan was so straightforward and stated his purpose without turning a corner at all is that the person who can sit as the president of the major associations is not a simple person. mess.

Furthermore, allowing the Dark Lord Sect to enter the Southern Territory has no fundamental conflict of interest with the Mage Association, and there is no need for twists and turns to test it.

That being the case, directly expressing her attitude is the easiest way to get Sona's approval, not to mention the gift of a branch of the world tree.

As for the branches of the world tree he sent, he would definitely not post them upside down by himself. The wool came from the sheep, and he would ask Archbishop Binso for money when he turned around. He would definitely have to pay for them to give them gifts.

This world tree branch must at least be earned back at the equivalent price of the branch at the auction.

As for Cao Yan not coming to the door in person, but relaying the story through Rita, it is in consideration that in case Sona disagrees, he did not come in person, leaving a buffer, and there is still a chance to change the situation.

At this time, after listening to Rita's words, Sona's eyes fell on the branches of the world tree again, and she fell silent.

"Cao Yan said that he wants to visit the president with Binsuo of the Dark Bishop's sect tonight. Look..." Rita asked tentatively.

Sona nodded and said, "Let them come..."

Rita smiled knowingly, and the president promised Cao Yan to bring Binsuo to visit. It seems that he has no objection to the Dark Bishop's entry into the Southern Region.

In the next few days, while handling the entrustments of the major aristocratic families, Cao Yan was busy helping the Bishop of Darkness to clear up all aspects of the relationship.

Fortunately, things are going well in all aspects, and the progress is quite fast.

Days passed in a hurry.

This morning, Cao Yan had just finished the work at hand and was resting in a studio of the association. Ji Wen trotted in: "Master Cao, the president invites you to his office on the top floor."

"Who?" Cao Yan expressed surprise.

The president of the Demon City Pet Master Association is a god-man. It is said that he is keen on wandering around. He is very irresponsible and doesn't care about the affairs of the association. He goes in and out of the endless sea or the eternal forest all the year round, looking for and detecting traces of precious monsters. , is a legendary figure in the pet teacher world.

Cao Yan has joined the association for more than half a year, and he has never met this violent president.

At this time, hearing what Ji Wen meant, it was obvious that something happened, and the president sent someone to come to meet him.
