Chapter 524: Head-on Competition (Thanks to 'JiEun' for the tip)
Ever since Jin Jun pushed "Taixu Divine Artifact Strategy" to level 20, he has been preparing to refine the prototype of Tianrihuangshen without stopping.
In order to successfully obtain the relevant military certificate of Tian Ri Huang Shen, Jin Jun also spread the word early and greeted the weapon refining students of all grades, showing his determination to seize Tian Ri Huang Shen in the next school year.
At this moment, he walked to the experimental table and began to conduct simulation experiments to hone his equipment refining skills.
In order to achieve the best simulation effect, he not only adjusted his spiritual image to be the same as in reality, but also copied the entire cave one-to-one to his real laboratory.
"As long as I successfully complete the Heavenly Sun Brilliant God, I will have a place in the top ten leagues in the future."
After completing a set of simulation experiments, Jin Jun saw rows of resumes and started reading them one by one.
In order to successfully complete the refining of the Tianri Huangshen prototype, Jin Jun began recruiting assistants to assist him three months ago.
However, as the project progressed, personnel changes occurred frequently, and he did not stop receiving resumes.
But after looking for a while, Jin Jun was not satisfied, so he used his connections to start looking for someone.
He wanted to find someone who was good at processing with real fire and repairing the metal shell of the magic weapon.
Soon someone told him that Zhang Yu, a junior, had good skills in this area. He had mastered the 20th-level Fire Control Divine Mirror and specialized in taking orders for repairing the outer shells of magical weapons.
Moreover, Zhang Yu is going to start preparing to refine the prototype of the Tianrihuangshen, which is more suitable for his project.
"Zhang Yu?" Jin Jun was a little surprised: "The student who transferred from the Civil Engineering Department?"
Jin Jun took a special look at the data of the magic weapon that Zhang Yu had repaired, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
"Not bad, his skills are qualified and his fees are cheap, so I'll take him."
In comparison, many senior students who meet the technical requirements are also very good, but they are all working on various different projects, so the cost for Jin Jun to poach them is too high.
He opened the resumes he had received and picked out all the juniors.
"Zi Yunzhen, Su Yunni..."
"Didn't Zhang Yu submit my resume?"
Jin Jun thought to himself, "Do you think I won't accept him?"
After knowing that Ye Xingli often introduced jobs to Zhang Yu, Jin Jun contacted the other party directly.
Jin Jun: Xingli, do you know Zhang Yu? Can you help me convey a message?
Ye Xingli: What?
Jin Jun: I want to invite him to join my project, which is to refine the Sun Shining God.
…
Inside the laboratory.
Ye Xingli's eyes moved when he heard these words.
She forwarded Jin Jun's message to Zhang Yu, and then asked: I didn't expect Jin Jun to want to recruit you to help.
Ye Xingli: Studying and working at the same time, this is a good opportunity
Zhang Yu, who was practicing the weapon refining technique in the laboratory, replied: No, it’s better for me to go at my own pace.
Ye Xingli: You should practice with Jin Jun in advance and learn from his experience. This will help you avoid many detours in the future.
Zhang Yu: Really, no need. Senior sister, could you please refuse it for me?
Looking at the message sent by Zhang Yu, Ye Xingli was a little surprised: "Such a good opportunity, but you rejected it?"
"Could it be that Zhang Yu has decided to give up refining the Sun-Bright God and is planning to participate in the design competition?"
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Ye Xingli stopped trying to persuade him and just sent Zhang Yu's reply to Jin Jun.
…
Seeing Ye Xingli's reply, Jin Jun frowned.
"Rejected?"
Jin Jun had already found out clearly that Zhang Yu had told others that he wanted to refine a prototype of the Tianri Huangshen.
"My project should be a great opportunity for him."
"After joining, not only will he have the opportunity to practice for free, but he can also go through the entire process of the Sun-Bright God. It will be of great benefit to him, so why would he refuse?"
Jin Jun thought about it for a moment and then he knew the answer: "Are you retreating to advance? Do you want to negotiate terms?"
So Jin Jun began to think about the pros and cons in his mind again.
"During the process of refining the prototype of the Tianri Huangshen, a lot of work was done to refine the metal shell."
"If Zhang Yu helps, not only can we speed up the process, but we can also carry out repairs, reduce the losses from failed refining, and lower the cost of the entire project."
Thinking of this, Jin Jun has contacted Ye Xingli again, and this time he plans to have a face-to-face meeting with Zhang Yu directly.
…
When he arrived at Ye Xingli's laboratory, Jin Jun first greeted the other party, and then looked at Zhang Yu.
He walked up with a smile: "Brother Zhang Yu, I came here specifically to treat you."
"As long as you are willing to join my project, I can give you twice the salary of other assistants."
On the other side, assistants such as Zi Yunzhen who were cleaning materials were surprised when they saw Jin Jun coming.
Zi Yunzhen had also signed up for Jin Jun's project. After all, the other party wanted to refine the prototype of the Tianri Huangshen, which involved military-grade power. Participating in it would add a lot of points to her resume.
Seeing that Jin Jun actually came to personally invite Zhang Yu and offered him double the salary, Zi Yunzhen felt both envious and jealous for a moment.
But facing Jin Jun's invitation, Zhang Yu was silent for a moment, but said helplessly: "Sorry, I don't want to participate in this project."
Jin Jun smiled and said, "Zhang Yu, don't rush to refuse."
"I am determined to refine the prototype of the Sun-Shine God this time, and I need an excellent assistant to assist me."
"And it seems that you are also planning to take the path of the Tianrihuangshen prototype machine in the future, right?"
"You have the skills, but you lack the experience and reputation."
"And by participating in this project, learning and working at the same time, it will help you accumulate experience in refining the Sun-Bright God."
"I know that you may be worried that you will be hindered on the road of refining equipment because of your identity in the civil engineering department."
"But the experience of participating in a military-grade project can definitely make others look at you in a different light."
"If you join me, in addition to the part you are responsible for, I can also share with you a copy of the data of the entire project, allowing you to use it for your own learning."
"This should be very helpful for you to refine the prototype of the Tianri Huangshen in the future."
Zi Yunzhen and the other two assistants looked at this scene with envy. Although they were all assistants, Zhang Yu was treated much better than them.
After taking a look at the evil material she was cleaning, Zi Yunzhen felt that compared with Zhang Yu, she looked like a student transferred from the Civil Engineering Department.
But for Jin Jun, doubling his assistant's salary is not a lot of money.
Sharing data is cost-effective and does not require him to spend any extra cost, but it is definitely very attractive to the students in front of him.
Jin Jun looked at Zhang Yu with full confidence. He was sure that the transfer student from the Civil Engineering Department would agree.
But Zhang Yu felt Jin Jun's gaze and shook his head, saying, "Senior, I have a lot of things to do and I really don't have time to participate."
Jin Jun was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he looked at Zhang Yu deeply. He thought Zhang Yu wanted to raise the price again, so he had to remind him: "Zhang Yu, this is the best offer I can make. It's a win-win situation for both of us."
At the same time, Jin Jun thought to himself, "I originally wanted to take him down in one go, but could it be that I showed too much sincerity and made Zhang Yu think he could raise the price?"
In order to prevent a conflict between the two, Ye Xingli said, "Zhang Yu, are you not going to continue on the path of the Tianrihuangshen prototype machine?"
"Jin Jun, if Zhang Yu wants to participate in the design competition first, then he really won't have time to work on your project."
Jin Jun was slightly stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, so that's how it is. It is indeed the normal route of refining equipment to first participate in the design competition, master the military-grade skills, and then refine the prototype of a military-grade magic weapon.
But when Zhang Yu, who was standing by, heard what Ye Xingli said, he realized that he should speak up and explain things clearly.
After all, after he completes the weapon refining genius, the next thing he will do is to prepare for the study of Tianri Huangshen.
According to Zhang Yu's own estimation, it is very likely that the refining of the prototype machine will be completed in the next school year, which means he will compete head-on with Jin Jun.
If he allowed Jin Jun, Ye Xingli and others to continue to misunderstand today, then when he completed the refining of the prototype machine, what he did today would be regarded as deliberately deceiving Jin Jun and pretending to give up Tianri Huangshen.
Being criticized in the future, or being hostile to Jin Jun, is not a big deal.
If this affects the testing and review of the prototype, it will be a loss.
After all, only after making a prototype of a military-grade refining product and passing the refining skills test and review can one be awarded a military certificate.
In order to pass the review, it is necessary to leave traces in the entire project, leaving various traces, records, and evidence of refining the prototype machine.
If Zhang Yu admitted to "giving up the Sunlight God" today, would he have to secretly refine weapons from others in the future? Wouldn't this make it more difficult for him to pass the review in the future?
Or if I don't explain today, people will think I've given up, and if I don't hide and refine the prototype machine after a while, then what's the point of admitting it today?
Zhang Yu thought about it and felt that the best option was to openly tell his plan today, leave traces everywhere, complete the prototype of the Tianri Huangshen step by step, and not give anyone the opportunity to question him.
Then Zhang Yu said firmly: "Senior Jin Jun, I am not participating in your project, not because I want to give up, but because I have decided to start refining the prototype of Tianri Huangshen soon, and I will definitely compete with you head-on at that time."
Following Zhang Yu's words, the entire laboratory fell silent in an instant.
Zi Yunzhen looked at Zhang Yu who was serious and thought that he was crazy. He wanted to compete with Jin Jun head-on? Why?
A trace of surprise flashed across Ye Xingli's face. She never expected that Zhang Yu would say such a thing.
She couldn't help but think quickly in her mind: "Although Zhang Yu is from the Department of Civil Engineering, he is not a fool. Why did he say this? Could it be..."
Jin Jun, who was standing in front of Zhang Yu, smiled nonchalantly: "Xiaodi Zhang, if you want to reject my request, just reject it directly. Why bother talking about such nonsense?"
Zhang Yu didn't laugh, and said seriously again: "I'm not kidding, I should be able to refine the prototype of the Tianri Huangshen in my senior year."
"Since you are going to do it, Senior Jin Jun, I don't want to hide this from you. You will know it sooner or later anyway."
Feeling the seriousness in Zhang Yu's tone, Jin Jun gradually realized that the other party seemed to be no joke.
As a result, Jin Jun smiled even more. He just felt that the scene in front of him was so funny and so interesting that he couldn't help laughing out loud.
