Everyone Works Together to Complete the Task

After agreeing on the first order, Hu Tao was eager to see the finished product.

She asked Bai Ye, "So, now that you've drawn it up, roughly how long will the actual production take?"

"Hmm, we can actually start right away. Assembling a vehicle doesn't take too long, but if you want it done immediately, I'll need your help."

Bai Ye pondered for a moment and said to Hu Tao and the others.

"Whatever you need help with, we'll do it right away."

Xingqiu knew this was to help his family's guild overcome their difficulties, so he immediately offered to help with whatever Bai Ye needed.

"Well, the vehicle requires a large amount of steel. For raw materials in this regard, your guild will need to provide them."

"That's naturally what we'll do."

"As for the rest..." Bai Ye looked at the group, "If we want to speed things up, we'll need the power of a few Genshin Eyes."

Bai Ye realized that the people who had come were perfect for the job.

Hu Tao had a Pyro Genshin Eye, which was perfect for controlling flames, making them large enough without being too hot. Xingqiu had a Hydro Genshin Eye, ideal for quenching.

As for Chongyun, he used a greatsword, making him most suitable for smashing ore.

He himself would use the Art of Automata to create molds and assemble the vehicle.

Finally, Xiangling would naturally be in charge of providing meals. When she wasn't busy at Wanmin Restaurant, she would bring food to Bai Ye and the others.

Don't misunderstand, Bai Ye wasn't trying to get free meals from Xiangling; the Feiyun Commerce Guild would definitely pay for the food.

After hearing Bai Ye's plan, everyone thought about it and agreed.

However, Hu Tao pointed at Bai Ye first.

"I need to go back and brief Zhongli on some matters first. It shouldn't be a problem for Zhongli to manage Wangsheng Funeral Parlor for a couple of days. Ah, Zhongli is a guest consultant at our Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, so it's fine for him to watch the shop. Also, while I'm gone, Bai Ye, please take this time to rest." She looked at Bai Ye's dark circles again.

"I don't want you to become my client halfway through the manufacturing process."

"Yes, yes."

Xiangling nodded earnestly.

Bai Ye said, "Alright, then we'll all gather again this afternoon."

Everyone agreed to meet again in the afternoon.

Bai Ye had originally planned to go to sleep, but Xiangling stopped him.

"You're just going to sleep like that? Wait for me a moment, I'll make you some soup. Go to sleep after you drink it."

She said to Bai Ye.

After speaking, Xiangling didn't wait for Bai Ye to say anything else and returned directly to Wanmin Restaurant.

Meanwhile, in Bai Ye's mind, Hagintos watched the scene and couldn't help but let out a light laugh.

"Little Bai Ye, you're really popular. All the young girls care about you. I wonder which one you'll choose in the future?"

"Hey, hey, hey, this is just friendly interaction between friends. Teacher, you think too much."

"Is that so? All relationships start from a nascent friendship. The initial mutual liking between young people, the familiarity that grows over time, and perhaps one day, someone might suddenly say, 'Why don't we just give it a try?' or 'I want to try,' and that's how a relationship begins. The longer you spend together, the deeper the feelings become, and perhaps friendship will turn into something more."

Hagintos continued to tease.

"Teacher, I always feel like you were also a rather improper Archon when you were an Archon."

"How is that possible? I was at most a bit more approachable. Yes, a bit more approachable."

Hagintos said indignantly, displeased with Bai Ye's impression of him.

Listening to Hagintos, Bai Ye somehow imagined a girl with her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed out like steamed buns because she was angry.

In the afternoon, after drinking the soup Xiangling had brought and having a good sleep, Bai Ye arrived at the appointed location on time.

Besides the five young men and women, there were also over a dozen workers and a blacksmith.

"Bai Ye, I've prepared the ore and other materials. From now on, we'll all follow your instructions."

"Good, you all can start smelting iron now. As for the heat, Hu Tao, you'll be in charge of all of it."

Bai Ye glanced at everyone and then took out a blueprint, handing it to Hu Tao.

It detailed the required heat and other precautions.

"Alright!"

Hu Tao responded loudly.

She then turned to the workers.

"Come on, listen to my instructions from now on."

At first, the workers thought this was just Hu Tao, Bai Ye, and Xingqiu playing around and approached it with a playful mindset.

However, as Hu Tao directed them, they began to realize her extraordinary abilities.

Everyone had a clear division of labor, and they didn't interfere with each other, appearing very organized and orderly.

The workers were initially surprised, but they soon understood.

Hu Tao is the director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Even if the funeral parlor doesn't have many employees, and there aren't many living people to command, she's definitely commanded quite a few dead ones. She must have a lot of work experience.

Hu Tao conjured flames and directed the workers as they smelted steel. Bai Ye, meanwhile, began to take over the forging process, while Xingqiu handled the quenching.

Bai Ye had previously made molds for crafting automata. Now, creating accessories that were far cruder than those automata made the task even easier.

Soon, one by one, the molds for the engine components that would be used for elemental reactions were completed by Bai Ye.

Bai Ye handed over all the work that required no technical skill, such as the chassis and carriages, to the blacksmiths.

Everyone worked hard for the entire afternoon. When evening arrived, the chef Xiangling brought a lavish meal for Bai Ye and the others.

After they finished eating, everyone continued to rush their work.

After another entire night of hard work, with the enhancement of various Genshin Eyes, Bai Ye manufactured at an incredibly fast pace.

In the span of one afternoon and one full day, Bai Ye first finished making the molds and then manufactured various parts.

Finally, following the memories from before their transmigration, Bai Ye successfully assembled a passable off-road vehicle.

However, it was different from trucks on Earth. Because the engine, which relied on elemental reactions, was a bit larger than Earth's engines, Bai Ye had to place the engine at the front of the truck, similar to a sedan.

"Next, it's time to figure out how to charge this vehicle."

"Then, Bai Ye, let's continue working on the charging device!"

Although Hu Tao was tired, she was now extremely excited.

She wanted to see what they had created.

"We can make the charging device later. Charging doesn't need to be so troublesome right now. You can either find someone with a Cryo Genshin Eye, or go catch an Electro Slime or a Cryo Abyss Mage."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye paused for a moment.

If this kind of vehicle becomes popular, then charging stations in various places will be one thing. At the same time, could Electro Slimes and Cryo Abyss Mages serve as portable power banks?

"Should I go and capture Electro Slimes and Abyss Mages right now? And sell them to car buyers in the future?"

Bai Ye felt like they had found another path to riches.
