Douluo Simulator: I, Huo Yuhao, am cultivating immortality

Chapter 164: The Naughty Cat Hundred Forged Metals
After finishing the conversation, Xuan Ziwen did not stay any longer and got up to say goodbye with Zimu and Keke.

Soul matters are of great importance and cannot be decided by a "small" eighth-level soul engineer like him. He must let the higher-ups know as soon as possible.

This was also the purpose of Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena telling Xuan Ziwen the terms of cooperation, so that the top leaders of the Sun Moon Empire could prepare their homework in advance and be ready for the formal negotiations to come.

Although the unexpected may bring some pleasant surprises, it may also add some cracks to the cooperation.

Learning soul guides is a long-term cooperation, and sincerity is the right answer. The clownish behavior of some countries that jump around and try to gain small advantages is unacceptable.

Xuan Ziwen locked himself in the room without even mentioning going home and drafting a letter. Huo Yuhao and his group were looking at the new member of the family curiously.

All he saw was a pink cat as tall as Huo Yuhao's thigh. Its short limbs and a pair of big, slightly cunning eyes made it look cute yet playful.

At this moment, facing the strong onlookers, the Naughty Cat put his hands on his hips, hid behind Huo Yuhao with a confident smile, and trembled.

Family members, who knows?
When I woke up, I saw a group of big guys looking at me. They looked like they wanted to eat me alive.
Just when the naughty cat was about to cry, he felt his feet empty, and a pair of warm hands held him in a warm embrace, and put his head on the other's shoulders. Feeling the comfortable touch on his head, the naughty cat couldn't help but hum.

Increases the favorability towards the owner
“Everyone, please calm down. This kid is called the Naughty Cat. He looks majestic, but he is actually very timid.” Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when they heard this. He acted so arrogantly but his personality was so soft.

Especially for old players like Tian Meng who were close to Huo Yuhao, after getting used to Huo Yuhao's adventures that challenged their worldviews at every turn, they were a little uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of a little coward like the Naughty Cat.

Xue Di looked at the mischievous cat, who was only a head shorter than her, curiously and asked, "Is there anything special about this child?"

"It seems to be no different from a soul beast, but compared to a soul beast, the mischievous cat grows very fast and is very human-like. You can usually ask it to serve tea or water, but it is a bit naughty."

Seeing the indescribable looks from everyone, Huo Yuhao shrugged and said, "Just think of it as raising a little pet."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although it wasn't as earth-shattering as they had imagined, it was nice to have a round, furry little pet at home.

"Do you need to give this little guy a name?"

"Then let's call it 'Emperor Meow'."

"Is it really appropriate to give this little guy such a domineering name?" Xue Di couldn't help but complain.

"Is it inappropriate? I think it's pretty good. What do you think, little guy?" Huo Yuhao looked at the naughty cat who had already adapted to the current and was looking around, and said.

The naughty cat put his hands on his hips and made “ah-woo” sounds to show that he was very satisfied.

"Very good, listen carefully, Meow Emperor. From now on you are no longer an ordinary mischievous cat, but a mischievous cat with a name. Grow up quickly, and then the mission of defending our home will be handed over to you."

"Ah woo~"

A few days later, in Huo Yuhao's laboratory, a furnace was burning fiercely, emitting amazing heat, burning the metal inside red. Seeing this, Meow Tiandi skillfully clamped it out with a tool pliers and placed it on the forging table.

Huo Yuhao at the side held a black heavy silver hammer in each hand. Although the size of his palms indicated, each hammer weighed a full five hundred kilograms. It was almost impossible for an ordinary person to lift it, let alone swing it. However, in Huo Yuhao's hands, they seemed as soft as feathers.

A golden glow lit up in his pupils. Huo Yuhao looked focused. He clenched his fists and struck the metal blocks briskly, making a series of "ding-dang-dang" sounds.

Feeling the feedback brought by the metal vibration during the hammering, and the intensive and rhythmic forging sounds, Huo Yuhao's mind quickly outlined the texture inside the metal.

Huo Yuhao multitasked, using his mental power to control several carbon pens on the table to quickly draw on the paper. Soon, the texture pattern of the metal was recorded.

Miao Tiandi jumped onto a chair, picked up the drawings scattered on the table, stapled the corners of the pages and put them into a thick file bag.

Then he jumped off the stool, took out the soaked towel from the sink next to him, wrung it dry, and ran to Huo Yuhao and handed it to him.

Huo Yuhao, who had just finished adjusting the posture of the metal, saw Meow Tiandi with one hand on his waist and the other holding the towel high. He couldn't help but feel moved that "the child has grown up" and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Although this girl had demolished the house three times in less than a week, allowing Huo Yuhao to truly experience the value of the word "naughty" in a naughty cat, the emotional value that a pet should provide was also fully provided.

Huo Yuhao finally understood the feelings of those netizens who raised huskies on the Internet.

“Let’s clean up and stop here today.” Huo Yuhao pointed at the metal scattered everywhere.

Emperor Meow patted his chest with his short little hands, let out an "Ah-woop", ran to the utility room, picked up the tools and started cleaning.

Wiping his face, which was free of sweat, Huo Yuhao looked at the rows of fruits of his labor, all of which were metals that had been purified through hundreds of forgings.

Even though Huo Yuhao has lived two lives as a human, his age combined is just that of a college student. He usually looks calm, but he has a childlike heart and when he sees the fruits of his labor, he feels unspeakable joy in his heart.

However, the most valuable items are the file bags lined up on the table. Those densely packed test data are priceless treasures for the entire civilization.

Feeling its heavy power, Huo Yuhao suddenly sighed and said, "I thought that the steps of Hundred Forging and Thousand Forging could be directly purified by industrial power. Now it seems that I underestimated the wisdom of later generations."

Metal is alive. Machine forging can never truly grasp the texture of metal. If one wants to become a blacksmith and achieve more complex spirit forging, soul breaking, melt forging, or even heaven forging, one can only master each type of metal step by step.

Without the help of previous experience, Huo Yuhao could only start from scratch and summarize all the rules and regulations.

Shenzhou’s Research Institute wanted to help, but the current plan had already stretched their human resources to the limit. However, they still took on the task of testing the forged metal, which greatly reduced Huo Yuhao’s workload.

And with each and every hundred forgings, Huo Yuhao's forging skills became more and more sophisticated. With the assistance of his double pupils and the ultimate control of his mental power, he could even compress a hundred forgings into twenty blows, which was extremely fast.

It won’t be long before he can move beyond the hundred forgings and can forge the metal a thousand times.
