From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 191 - 159: Dual Talents, Mechanical Heart
When Yuan Hecheng said this, tears had already welled up in his eyes.
Lu Heng was slightly moved and finally understood why he was in such a hurry.
How could a father not be anxious when he learns that his ten-year-old daughter has been conscripted by the Abyss Battlefield?
Lu Heng frowned and tried to recall any information about Yuan Hecheng's daughter.
Yuan Hecheng was a rather famous Quenching Master in the later age, his name was well-known throughout Da Xia.
There were many news stories about Yuan Hecheng in the future, but after racking his brain, Lu Heng couldn't find any information about his daughter.
Perhaps he kept his daughter out of the media to protect her.
Or perhaps there was another reason; his daughter might have died on the Abyss Battlefield.
The Abyss Battlefield conscripted Superpower Users without any age restrictions, it only mattered if a Superpower User was suitable or not.
And Lu Heng suspected the latter was more probable.
That's because Yuan Hecheng only rose to prominence as a famous Quenching Master one year after the Abyss Descent in his previous life.
Now, it was the seventh month since the Abyss Descent, and there were still five months left before he would become a renowned Quenching Master.
The profession of a Quenching Master, as long as one is recognized by the Quenching Castle, could immediately skyrocket in value and attract capital, not requiring as long as five months.

Yuan Hecheng had only risen to prominence one year after the Abyss Descent in his past life.
That is to say, if Lu Heng didn't intervene in this matter, Yuan Hecheng would remain unknown for the next five months.
He might even fall into depression for a few months because of his daughter's death.
Of course, these were all Lu Heng's guesses, and he wasn't certain what exactly had happened in his past life.
After giving it some serious thought, Lu Heng asked, "If I gave you ten million, what would you do with it?"
Yuan Hecheng, seeing a ray of hope, hurriedly said, "If you give me ten million, I'm willing to sign an indenture contract for fifteen or twenty years."
Lu Heng asked again, "I mean, if you got ten million, what would you plan to buy with it? Skill Crystal Cores?"
Yuan Hecheng quickly nodded, "Exactly, I want to buy Skill Crystal Cores for my daughter, as many lifesaving Skill Crystal Cores as possible. I just want her to be able to come out alive from the Abyss Battlefield."
Actually,
This matter had something strange about it.
The Abyss Battlefield's conscription indeed had no age limit, but the conscription rules were patterned by Combat Power.
The lower the Combat Power, the lower the probability of being conscripted, so life-related Superpower Users were basically not conscripted.
According to the conscription rule of the Abyss Battlefield, one must reach a certain level of Combat Power to be conscripted.
But what reasons led to the conscription of Yuan Hecheng's ten-year-old daughter?
This question was difficult to ask.
After a moment's thought, Lu Heng asked, "How long is left on the conscription countdown?"
"There are two days left... no, only a day and a half now." Yuan Hecheng realized that it was already afternoon and more than half of the day had passed.
Hearing this, Lu Heng frowned and said, "Even if I gave you ten million now, you wouldn't have enough time to buy the appropriate Skill Crystal Cores."
Yuan Hecheng sighed and said, "I have no other choice but to buy whatever I can find."
For so many days, Lu Heng was the first person willing to listen to him for so long.
Therefore, Yuan Hecheng saw Lu Heng as the last lifeline, his eyes gleaming with hope: "Director Lu, it doesn't need to be ten million, eight million will do. I am willing to sign a twenty-year indenture contract, I'll do anything you ask."
After some consideration, Lu Heng said, "I can sign you on, ten million is no problem. However, you will need to be my Quenching Assistant, and I can let you handle any orders below Quenching Level 3. Also, you probably won't make it in time to buy Skill Crystal Cores now. I'll have my assistant bring over a list of Crystal Cores later, and you can take anything suitable from it for your use."
Yuan Hecheng didn't expect happiness to come so unexpectedly, and he almost felt like kneeling in gratitude, "Thank you, Director Lu, thank you, Director Lu."
At this time,
Lin Zeyu pushed the door open and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. The manager said you were here, what's so busy about? Can we go now?"
Lu Heng waved his hand and said, "Perfect timing, get someone to draft a Quenching Master contract and set the term for ten years. Include a prepaid amount of ten million, and also bring over the list of Skill Crystal Cores."
Lin Zeyu blinked and pointing at Yuan Hecheng asked, "Are you signing him?"
Yuan Hecheng quickly stood up and bowed to Lin Zeyu, "Boss, my name is Yuan Hecheng, and I'm a Quenching Master."
Quenching Masters weren't in high demand at the moment, and Lin Zeyu couldn't see anything particularly special about this Yuan Hecheng.
More importantly, Yuan Hecheng had never been to Quenching Castle or gone through an assessment, so why were they going straight to signing a contract?
Lin Zeyu blinked again and asked, "Shouldn't we assess him first?"
The mention of an assessment tightened Yuan Hecheng's heart.
Although he was confident, he feared the "what if."
What if he failed the assessment and the agreement went down the drain? He would feel like dying.
After all, he was gambling with his daughter's life, and even with a one in ten thousand chance of failing the assessment, he didn't dare to take the risk.
Lu Heng waved his hand dismissively and said, "No need, just do as I said and make it quick."
Lin Zeyu didn't ask anymore and agreed, "Okay, then, I'll arrange it."
He then turned and left to call someone to handle the matter.
The company was efficient in its operation, and the contracts were already prepared, only requiring a change in the term and the amount.
After Yuan Hecheng signed his name on the contract, and saw Lin Zeyu stamp the company's seal, the stone hanging over his heart finally dropped.
Lu Heng continued, "Old Yuan, is it okay for me to address you that way?"
