As Thorin recounted some legends from Black Daughter's lifetime, the dwarves had already finished making the statue Gu Xi wanted.
Since they lacked suitable materials, a cast-iron statue was out of the question.
As for a mud statue, that would have been an insult to the dwarves' dignity.
So, after nearly a day's work, the dwarves produced a life-sized wooden statue.
Since Gu Xi had not specified what kind of statue he wanted and had only asked for a human figure,
the dwarves used Gu Xi as their model.
They made the statue in Gu Xi's likeness.
When the dwarves pushed the wooden statue before Gu Xi, Thorin smiled and said to him,
"Mr. Gu, don't underestimate this wooden statue.
The wood here isn't ordinary wood. Since it is buried beneath the snow and rarely sees sunlight, it grows rather slowly.
That is precisely why this timber is exceptionally hard and difficult to damage with water or fire. I once got only a small piece of it, yet it could serve as a shield."
Afraid that Gu Xi might look down on the wooden statue, Thorin deliberately explained its qualities.
But Gu Xi did not care about any of that. He took out a lens from the Clone Glasses and set it over the statue's right eye.
After finishing this, Gu Xi took a step back and made some room.
However, Gu Xi noticed that the statue twitched slightly the moment the lens was placed on it.
Then the lens vanished directly into the statue.
This meant that Su Youheng had secretly entered the Advancement World before him through Gu Xi's method.
The deal between him and Su Youheng was now complete.
Whatever Su Youheng chose to do here in the future would have nothing to do with Gu Xi.
