"What did you stop this adeptus for?" Cloud Retainer immediately folded her wings and looked at Shen Fei.
"I heard from Shenhe that you're skilled in mechanical arts. I have some experience with them as well, so I wanted to find an opportunity to exchange ideas with you," Shen Fei said at once. He was not fooling her; he really had discussed Cloud Retainer with Shenhe.
"Shenhe actually mentioned me? Mechanical arts, was it? If there's a chance, this adeptus wouldn't mind giving you some pointers." Cloud Retainer flew away as she spoke. She was extremely confident in her mechanical arts and did not believe Shen Fei could surpass her.
"She left before I even finished talking. Forget it, I'll contact her later." Shen Fei felt rather speechless as he watched Cloud Retainer leave just like that. He had originally wanted to talk with her more, or exchange contact information and give her some relevant materials to study. Now, he could only wait for next time.
Cloud Retainer had left so quickly partly because Shen Fei had not revealed his identity. If he had told her that he was the one who had produced the phones, she might not have left. This adeptus had been studying the structure of phones all along and had already dismantled several. The exquisite components inside had left her amazed, but that was as far as she could get. She simply could not understand what those parts were for.
If it were mechanical beasts such as the Mechanical White Tiger or Mechanical Vermillion Bird, it would not be difficult for Cloud Retainer to dismantle and replicate them. Phones were different. Without systematic study, they were extremely difficult to reproduce. Not just Cloud Retainer—even the Dragon Race's technology might not be able to replicate them.
