How to Elegantly Make Those Around You Uncomfortable

Making the Inflatable Puppet was actually simpler than imagined.

Aside from the smart chip which needed to be bought with Constant Gold Coins in Lost Paradise, Xu Nan basically had all the other materials readily available in the base.

According to the blueprint, after being inflated, the puppet should be about the same height as a real person, and with the lambskin and alchemical solidification effect, its appearance was comparable to a real person.

When Xu Nan started working, he didn't think too much, only feeling that this thing met all his requirements.

But when the floppy puppet finally took shape, Xu Nan suddenly realized something.

Doesn't this thing look a bit like a certain adult product?

Although he had chosen a relatively inconspicuous style to make, the thought of a group of inflatable blonde women going down to plant rice and work in the fields felt quite jarring.

"Let's try it first. If I'm afraid of it being censored, I'll just put some clothes on it later."

Xu Nan didn't think too much about it.

For inflation, the blueprint didn't give specific examples, requiring Xu Nan to mix the gases himself.

It was mainly a mixture of hydrogen and some inert gases.

Hydrogen could make the entire puppet lighter, reducing power consumption. This was Xu Nan's first time inflating it, and he didn't know the ratio. Out of greed, he put in a bit too much hydrogen.

It wasn't until he finished inflating it that he realized something was wrong.

Before he could even activate the smart module, the entire Inflatable Puppet flew upwards!

Xu Nan was shocked. He hurriedly put down the tools in his hand and wanted to jump up to chase the Inflatable Puppet, but his agility was clearly lacking. The Inflatable Puppet playfully circled the top of the alchemy workshop and suddenly floated outwards!

Xu Nan felt a bit numb in his scalp. Fortunately, there weren't many people in the base, otherwise, it would be awkward if everyone saw a blonde woman floating around.

He hurriedly chased after it.

Just then, A Tang walked by wearing headphones and doing some strange dance steps. Seeing a blonde woman flying, she couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect you to be like this, Xu Nan!"

"Is she your girlfriend?"

Xu Nan was too lazy to talk nonsense with her: "Quick, help me get that thing down!"

A Tang was very reluctant, but she also leaped high, trying to grab the Inflatable Puppet.

Unfortunately, this Inflatable Puppet was too light and too fast. Even with A Tang's agility, she couldn't handle it for a while.

Xu Nan watched her jump around aimlessly for a while, and for a moment, he suspected she was doing it on purpose!

Gu Xiaomeng was also in the base!

If she saw it, although Xu Nan wouldn't feel anything, he would still be a little embarrassed.

However, the reality was far more cruel than Xu Nan imagined.

The blonde woman floated towards the residential area. And her speed wasn't slow.

Xu Nan and A Tang chased after her all the way, and suddenly their expressions changed!

Ahead was the house where Xin'er lived!

And the Inflatable Puppet, as if on cue, crashed into the second-floor window!

Thud!

It was quite loud.

Unless Xin'er was sleeping, she had probably heard the sound!

Thinking that Xin'er might misunderstand, Xu Nan became anxious.

He rushed over, wanting to throw a Spiderweb Spell to cover the thing.

However, at this moment, the second-floor curtain was pulled open, and Xin'er's curious face peeked out.

Xu Nan made a decisive decision and threw a Melf's Acid Arrow without hesitation!

Bang!

Xin'er opened the window in confusion, only to see pieces of lambskin shattering and falling down.

"Good morning!" Xu Nan waved calmly.

Xin'er's face turned red, and she quickly closed the window.

Xu Nan breathed a sigh of relief and rushed over to clean up the mess.

By the time he had almost finished cleaning up, A Tang arrived late:

"Where's your girlfriend?"

"Huh? Did it explode?"

Xu Nan slapped her on the forehead.

"Don't mention what happened today again."

He hugged a pile of lambskin and ran back to the alchemy factory with a heavy heart to continue his research.

The Inflatable Puppet indeed had excellent performance, but in terms of appearance, Xu Nan realized that he couldn't blindly follow the design blueprint.

God knows what kind of shut-in or gentleman the alchemist who designed this thing was!

All nineteen models of the Basic Inflatable Puppet were in the image of women of various races, plump or slender.

Even more outrageous, there were female gnolls!

There was a reason the Arcane Empire was banished!

Xu Nan ignored the various era uniforms and clothing in the attachments and decided to design the appearance of the inflatable puppet himself.

Without hindering its function, Xu Nan simulated various situations and finally found that his design... was indeed not good enough!

The design of every alchemical product had gone through countless experiments by the alchemists of the Arcane Empire; the specific data and detailed specifications contained very subtle details.

The result of Xu Nan's unauthorized alteration of the appearance was that although the inflatable puppet he designed was neither lewd nor perverted, it was also useless.

Later, to avoid wasting materials, he simply slapped his head and made it look like Baymax from Big Hero 6.

Anyway, the appearance wasn't important to him.

As a result, by a strange coincidence, Xu Nan's first usable inflatable puppet was born.

Looking at the inflatable puppet that operated automatically and had a certain level of intelligent feedback to his commands, Xu Nan was filled with emotion. Suffering from difficulty naming things, he simply named this inflatable puppet Baymax.

The success of Baymax boosted Xu Nan's morale to a certain extent, but it also made him completely abandon the idea of using inflatable puppets for farming.

This thing was suitable as an alchemical assistant and could indeed replace Mage Hand in a sense.

But planting rice and farming could wait.

Since that was the case, it wasn't suitable for mass production either.

This meant Xu Nan had been busy for two days for nothing.

"It wasn't completely for nothing, at least my alchemy proficiency increased a lot."

Xu Nan ordered Baymax to set up an assembly line for making Mechanical Ghosts in the alchemy workshop. Baymax's learning ability was good and it quickly learned.

Once the assembly line was completed, semi-automated mass production of Mechanical Ghosts wouldn't be difficult.

Xu Nan bought a lot of sapphires. In the future, the cheap labor in the base would still be mainly ghosts.

Inflatable products... temporarily put aside.

Then he slept.

He woke up the next morning.

The interview time agreed upon with the ThousandRadiance Society mentor was in the evening, and the location was Xu Nan's university.

Xu Nan took this very seriously. Zhang Yingluo had hinted that every Professional qualified to be a mentor at this stage was above the second tier.

Although Sorcerers took different paths, if he could get guidance from a senior, Xu Nan would never miss the opportunity.

He planned to join the ThousandRadiance Society first, also wanting to obtain more information and resources about Professionals and other worlds.

After that batch of gnolls was completely annihilated, the Dungeon was temporarily very safe. With A Tang in charge, Xu Nan wasn't too worried about Xin'er's safety.

He also had the Imps build eight of the lowest-level defensive arrow towers around the area. This way, any monster approaching would be alerted and attacked by the arrow towers.

After doing all this, he left the Dungeon.

During the day, he originally planned to go to class. After all, it had been a long time since he had gone to class, and Xu Nan missed his lovely classmates.

But before he could even reach the school, Qin Lele's message came:

"Lord City Lord, my mom wants to see you!"

Xu Nan: "??? Didn't you say you wouldn't let her see me?"

"No, we can't hide our relationship anymore! Otherwise, she won't let me go." Qin Lele sent a crying face emoji:

"Dress up ugly, don't be too handsome. I'll wait for you at Dafang Square."

Xu Nan had a bit of a headache.

Logically, he didn't want to interfere with Qin Lele's affairs. But he had been idle before, and since he had asked if she needed help, when she needed help, was he not available?

While this could earn him activity points, it would also hurt his own people's feelings!

Xu Nan wanted to fleece others, but he wouldn't start with his own people.

He thought about it and reluctantly agreed. In fact, he was quite curious about what kind of person Qin Lele's mother was.

Learning a bard's spell - [Disguise], Xu Nan leisurely got on the bus at the school gate.

To prevent Qin Lele from not recognizing him, Xu Nan also sent a selfie.

In the photo, Xu Nan looked like a forty-year-old uncle, exuding a sleazy aura from head to toe, completely unrelated to the word handsome.

"??? Xu Nan, did you secretly get plastic surgery behind my back?" Qin Lele exclaimed.

Xu Nan felt smug. He had long wanted to learn a Disguise spell. After all, as his charm increased, there would be more and more trouble in the future.

Although his new appearance wasn't good-looking, it could avoid a lot of trouble.

On the bus, almost no one gave him a second look.

Uh... actually, there was someone. The high school girl sitting next to Xu Nan looked at him more than once, but her eyes were full of disdain.

Xu Nan ignored her.

He was still worried about the monthly event.

To be honest, it wasn't Xu Nan's style to provoke people for event points; the one time he had provoked couples before was already his limit.

Was there no good way to get event points without offending people?

Xu Nan thought about it. He had helped Qin Lele solve her problem, and that clever girl should also help him share his worries.

So he carefully considered and said:

"City Management Captain, I have a question to test you!"

"How to elegantly make the people around you feel uncomfortable?"

Qin Lele was full of confidence: "That's simple, we'll talk about it when you get to Dafang Square."

Dafang Square was in the heart of the city, and even on a non-weekend afternoon, it was packed with people.

Xu Nan got off the bus and walked towards Qin Lele's location, surrounded by the crowd.

The crowd surged.

Suddenly, he saw a beautiful figure dart through the crowd and pounce towards him!

Along with that figure, there was a loud shout—

"Godfather!"

"I missed you so much!"

Xu Nan expressionlessly watched Qin Lele hang onto him like a koala, while everyone around them turned their heads and gave them strange looks.

[Event Points +1000, from...]
