The foreman had returned this time because there was notification from headquarters that this batch of silver-level sparring robots was urgently needed.
That was why headquarters had spent promised such abundant rewards.
And there wasn't much time left. It had to be done before dawn.
Otherwise, he would not be able to withstand the punishment.
A fine was a small problem. If it affected his future, it would be horrible.
Therefore, whatever it took, he had to quickly supervise this group of workers to install the screws of the silver robots.
"Are the silver robots done?"
"How long are you going to take? Hurry up!"
The foreman shouted anxiously.
Hearing this, the surrounding workers retorted angrily.
"What's the hurry? It's not like you don't know that someone was injured."
"That's right. It's not like you're not responsible for the delay. What's the point of shouting at us?"
"Isn't it your job to arrange work? Why are you calling us?"
"If you're so anxious, why don't you do it yourself?"
"That's right. Why don't you take a look at what level of robot this is? Do you really want us ordinary people to die accomplishing the task!"
"Just get a few Martial Artists to help."
"This is a silver robot. Do you really think it's as simple as bronze or iron?"
Hearing the workers' words, the foreman now gritted his teeth in anxiety.
If Martial Artists could really be called over at this time, would he still be so flustered?
The headquarters took this matter very seriously.
It was a matter that concerned the factory's future orders. If the robots were delivered in time, they could bring larger orders.
Therefore, the most important thing now was not to bicker with the workers, but how to install the screws.
"I can try, foreman."
Lu Xiao stood up and recommended himself.
"Can you do it?"
The foreman looked at the young Lu Xiao and his lips twitched.
So many old workers were powerless against silver robots. What could a young man do?
It was killing him.
Was he really going to suffer tonight?
As time passed, there was still no progress.
Now that someone had stepped forward, he could only try his luck and let this young man try.
"Forget it. Since you want to try, come and try."
"After it's done, don't worry. Whether it's the promised Fitness Technique or the title of Model Worker, they will be fulfilled one by one."
"Apart from that, the bonus given by headquarters is also yours."
"You must install the screws before dawn. I'm begging you."
Even so, the foreman was already thinking about how to get rid of this responsibility.
He didn't think he was so stupid and naive as to
Really put his expectations on a student.
"Deal!"
After getting permission, Lu Xiao warmed up and went to the silver robot.
He hadn't looked closely before.
Now that he was facing it, the patterns on the silver robot were complicated and much more advanced than iron and bronze.
The sandbag-sized fists were even more chilling.
If an ordinary person was hit head-on, they would either be injured or crushed!
Only Martial Artists were qualified to spar with it.
At the same time, the True Qi contained in its body could make Lu Xiao feel that it was very powerful.
The surrounding workers began to worry when they saw this.
"This silver robot is indeed a high-end product. The overall design is extremely exquisite. Even the materials are much better."
"Isn't that obvious? Those iron and bronze robots only require brute force, but you must use True Qi to be able to install the screws on the silver robot."
"Do you think this young man can do it?"
"I don't think so. Although he can install the screws of a bronze robot, if you let the bronze robot fight the silver robot, guess what will happen?"
"What else could it be? The bronze robot will be smashed into pieces."
"Good luck, Little Lu!"
"Holy sh*t, look! What is he doing?!"
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Xiao did not screw it first. Instead, he activated the silver robot.
The two of them faced each other and actually began to practice!
The sparring robots that had been transported over were semi-finished, but they already had the basic functions.
They could already be used for training.
Previously, installing screws was at most considered cultivation for Lu Xiao, but now, it could be considered actual combat training.
"Bang!"
Lu Xiao activated his Nail Fist and clashed head-on with the silver robot. His fist could already stir up a violent wind.
"Damn, I remember that silver robots are equivalent to Level 5 Martial Artists. This kid is actually not at a disadvantage!"
"As expected of a young talent."
"With this strength, it's easy to install the screws."
"I didn't expect him to be a student. Looks like there's going to be another genius in this year's martial arts exam."
"I've observed a Martial Artist sparring with a silver robot, but he didn't have such a fierce momentum!"
"Brother, your son is not bad. Looks like you can enjoy life in the future~"
"Hahaha, thank you for complimenting my son."
Amidst everyone's praise and shock, Lu Heng's excitement was even more indescribable.
Unexpected.
The Lu family's child had really become successful!
"I said… I told you to quickly install the screws, not play here!"
The foreman, who had taken out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, was even more dumbfounded.
But he was the only one in the audience who was sweating anxiously.
This was more or less a bummer.
One of the old workers immediately turned around and glared at him as he explained, "As a foreman, you don't even know this. Silver robots contain True Qi in their bodies, so it's dangerous to forcefully install the screws."
"But if you exhaust the True Qi by fighting it, the danger will be greatly reduced."
"Uh…"
The foreman choked on his words.
Of course, Lu Xiao was completely unaware of this. He just wanted to see the effects of the Nail Fist.
He still had plenty of time.
Since he could use the silver robot for free, why not?
From the initial struggle to gradually mastering it, Lu Xiao could already accurately land his fist in the optimal position to collide with the silver robot.
At the same time, every moment of exchanging punches made his Nail Fist continuously improve.
As expected of a martial art that was extremely difficult to cultivate. The improvement it brought was surprising.
The exciting battle made Lu Xiao immersed in it. The words of the surrounding people could not affect him at all.
There was no telling how long they had been sparring.
Lu Xiao's body was repeatedly cleansed by the Grand Heaven Devouring Technique, causing his Qi Blood to flow endlessly.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Lu Xiao had already mastered the Nail Fist.
Dawn was coming.
"Beep—!"
A notification sounded. The silver robot's arm stopped moving. The power and True Qi were exhausted at the same time.
Seeing this, Lu Xiao took a deep breath, then picked up the screw and punched it in!
"BOOM!!!"
Ding! Completed one screwing task. Combat strength increased by 7.6!
