Next, everyone split into male and female groups to chat about their own topics. Before long, led by Master Gongshu, they arrived before a device.
"What is this?"
March 7th looked curiously at the device before her and asked Master Gongshu.
"This is the Mirror-Changing Screen that this old man and several disciples worked together to create! It is this old man's proudest work!"
"Though it isn't finished yet..." Master Gongshu hesitated before adding.
"So it's only a half-finished product, right?"
Theresa crossed her arms and poked fun at Master Gongshu.
"Not at all, not at all! Miss Theresa, you cannot put it that way. When the wood spirits invaded, this old man immediately thought of this thing. Allow me to assemble it!"
As he spoke, Master Gongshu activated the device called the Mirror-Changing Screen under everyone's curious gazes. To their astonishment, it disassembled itself into large components, then automatically reassembled into something quite peculiar. It looked like this. The creator of this little game had already cleared it; it was pretty fun, similar to a matching game. Then everyone watched curiously as Master Gongshu aimed the charging device at several budding flowers on the ground. They had grown from the Ambrosial Arbor's roots.
"This is a mechanized device called Codename: Xiliu Light, a weapon developed at the request of the Cloud Knights. Its power is extraordinary, except..."
"Uh..."
Master Gongshu scratched his head awkwardly and looked somewhat embarrassedly at the device.
"The range is too short, and it consumes too much energy?"
As an expert in mechanics, Welt voiced his assessment.
"Of course. The conservation of properties dictates that what excels in one area must fall short in another. Still, it is more than enough to deal with those blind wood spirits that dared burrow into the Artificer Department."
