Chapter 1380: Hu Tian Talks About His Performance

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This would be what Startling Lines Continent lacked the most—Creation Master resources.

Thus, they had to assign some rooms in the underground palace as breeding rooms.

“I’ve solved the Floating Silver issue, and I’ll be able to give it to you two days later. I have no worries when it comes to your design. However, when you’re building the underground palace. I hope that some of the rooms can be dedicated to being Creation Master breeding rooms.

“Uncle Hu, why don’t you embed some jade-textured wood into the mural? We can also add several Sunlight King Lotuses and plant-type feys that can release spirit qi to the underground palace to ensure that the underground palace has light. The freshness of the jade-textured wood would also cover up the musky smell of dirt.”

Hu Quan’s eyes lit up. He loved when Lin Yuan had design ideas that combined feys and design. This was the kind of design idea that Hu Quan lacked.

!!

As a Spirit Craftsman, Hu Quan would never casually think about adding something as precious as plant-type feys that could release spirit qi to his design.

Hu Tian, who was directing the Scary Claw Rock Bear to produce rock pieces, had been trying to find an opportunity to talk to Lin Yuan ever since he saw him.

However, he had been talking to Hu Quan from the moment he arrived, and Hu Quan was not left with any gap through which he could squeeze himself into to say something to Lin Yuan.

When Hu Quan started to add the jade-textured wood to his design, Hu Tian took the opportunity to pad up to Lin Yuan and say, “Lord, I haven’t dared to rest at all the past six days just so you’ll be able to see the changes in the underground palace when you return. Over the past six days, I’ve produced almost all the rock pieces that the underground palace needs.”

Lin Yuan immediately saw through Hu Tian’s intention. He was trying to tell Lin Yuan about his performance.

But before Lin Yuan could even say anything, Hu Quan rolled his eyes and snapped at Hu Tian, “What do you mean you produced all the rock pieces that the underground palace needs? Would you have worked so hard if I didn’t keep an eye on you? Also, who told you that the underground palace would only have one floor?

“After the first floor is done, we can build a second, a third, or even more floors to increase the functions available in the underground palace as long as Young Master wants them to be there. You’ve only worked for six days, yet you’re so eager to show off. Don’t tell me you’re trying to hint at some benefits? Sky City has destroyed the Zheng family. As Sky City’s servant that came from the Zheng family, isn’t it a given that you should be working?”

As Hu Quan and Hu Tian had been working together over the past few days, Hu Quan became increasingly displeased with this man who shared the same surname as him. He could sense the reason Hu Tian was working.

Directing the Scary Claw Rock Bear to produce rock pieces was easy work, yet Hu Tian acted as though he was exhausted.

Did he think that his Myth Breed fey was a Platinum fey?

It was clear that Hu Tian was acting for Hu Quan’s benefit so that Hu Quan would speak highly of his efforts to Lin Yuan.

Spirit Craftsmanship was a trade of the heart, and Hu Quan detested people who put on a front and always wanted to make sure people knew that they were working. This described Hu Tian to a tee.

Thus, when Hu Tian told Lin Yuan about what he had done, Hu Quan mercilessly took him down a peg.

Hu Quan’s words caused the smiling Hu Tian, who was waiting to be rewarded by Lin Yuan, to crumple up with awkwardness.

In the Radiance Federation, Class 5 Spirit Craftsmen were sought after by veteran and top factions. After all, the furniture, decorations, and other items they created could demonstrate a faction’s status.

Although Class 5 Spirit Craftsmen were even rarer than Class 4 Creation Masters, Class 4 Creation Masters still held a higher rank than Class 5 Spirit Craftsmen.

Hu Tian had intentionally worked hard in front of Hu Quan because Lin Yuan thought highly of Hu Quan.

In fact, Hu Tian did not care for Hu Quan. He felt that given his status as a Class 4 Creation Master, Hu Quan had no reason to offend him.

However, Hu Tian’s scheme had fallen short.

Hu Quan did not care about what Hu Tian thought at all, nor did he try to save Hu Tian’s face because he did not just see himself as a member of Sky City.

After spending time with Lin Yuan, the parentless and childless Hu Quan had come to see Lin Yuan as family. He did not want Lin Yuan to have the wool pulled over his eyes by Hu Tian.

Hu Quan knew that Hu Tian would try harder in his schemes if he managed to trick Lin Yuan this time.

Lin Yuan’s ambiguous smile made Hu Tian think about what Lin Yuan had done in the Zheng family’s guest room.

Hu Tian could not help but shiver in fear, and he said to Lin Yuan with a quiver in his voice, “Lord, I’m not trying to show off my work. I am your servant, and it’s only right that I do whatever you ask of me.”

Lin Yuan ignored Hu Tian and turned to say to Hu Quan, “Uncle Hu, keep Hu Tian with you. I only brought eight Spirit Craftsmen with me. With Hu Tian’s help in making rock pieces, you won’t have to fire the ironwood pulp yourself to turn it into rock pieces.”

Hu Quan sneered at Hu Tian before he nodded and said, “Young Master, I won’t hold back on Hu Tian. We need to carve a mural for the underground palace. So, we’ll need at least two layers of rock pieces to make it look like it’s coming out from the wall. If you can provide enough Floating Silver, I suggest adding another layer of Floating Silver as well to better protect against unwanted surveillance.”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, “Uncle Hu, you’ll have more than enough Floating Silver.”

He looked at the terrified Hu Tian and said sternly, “You can have rewards if you want. I’m never stingy with loyal people. However, I only reward people who put in the effort. If you ever satisfy Uncle Hu while working under him, I will give you five earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.”

Lin Yuan took out the Jeweled Cave Golden Toad and let Liu Jie, Ji Feng, and the eight Spirit Craftsmen out.

The eight Spirit Craftsmen immediately went to work after receiving instructions from Hu Quan.

Liu Jie took in the underground palace and was shocked by the progress. He walked over to Hu Quan and gave him a Diamond fey storage box as he said, “Uncle Hu, here is some food I cooked. They’re all dishes that you usually like to eat. I placed them inside lunch boxes made of Support Spirit Wood. I made about 15 days’ worth of food. This should last you until the next time I’m here.”

Support Spirit Wood was a strong wood that could preserve freshness. The Spirit Food Pavilion used lunchboxes made of Support Spirit Wood whenever they delivered food.

The lunchboxes that Liu Jie used had been given to him by Zong Ze when Zong Ze came to visit.

Hu Quan received the Diamond fey storage box and said with a smile, “Getting to design and build an underground palace already brings me joy. If I can eat your food on top of it, it’ll only be piling on the joy!”
