Fang Wen was formidable. At a "young age," she had already reached the peak of Law Decree-level.
Then she got stuck. She had been stuck for years, so long that she had forcibly trained several of her craftsman side professions to Tier 4 or 5, yet still could not see any possibility of breaking through to Rule-level.
Otherwise, as a devout believer of the Mother Goddess Church, she would never have needed to betray her faith and her god, risking execution to gamble on that one chance.
"Unfortunately, Mechanical Awakeners were tools to begin with. At higher levels, they were full of traps. That alone was already a disaster. Add Fang Wen's 'wish' to the mix, and it became a disaster within a disaster. The fact that she got stuck until she lost control and still could not advance was practically inevitable."
Before Lu PingAn's eyes, Fang Wen busily worked away.
The tiny metal sphere extended probes above and below itself, along with drills and welding torches, working at high speed.
Most of Wang Xi'er's people were laymen, and their construction was rather simple and crude. To turn this pile of junk into a whole, they at least had to weld it together.
At first, others tried to help. Their efficiency was too low, so Fang Wen simply chased them aside.
Now, after she "heard" Lu PingAn's words, she moved even faster and worked far more efficiently.
If anyone else had told her that her path was wrong, her emotions would not have wavered in the slightest. But aside from Big Cat, Fang Wen understood Lu PingAn's uncanny nature better than anyone. Having been tricked by him before, she even felt a faint sense of fear, bordering on deification.
She had clearly sped up, but Lu PingAn said nothing more.
