Good, Watch and Learn

Leaving the grand courtyard that would easily attract attention, Feng Xue found a secluded spot, dropped the child off, and began fiddling with two items in her hands.

"Give me back my treasure!" The child stretched out his hand as if throwing a tantrum, but he was no longer as fierce as before. It was hard to tell whether he had truly understood what Feng Xue was saying or realized that he couldn't beat this guy and had given in.

"Here you go." Feng Xue tossed the simple Red Silk Ribbon to the child, who grabbed it and wrapped it around his wrist. Looking at the Gold Bracelet in Feng Xue's hand, the Red Silk Ribbon wanted more, but Feng Xue shook her head and said:

"Your bracelet is quite interesting, can I borrow it for a while?"

"No! This is my precious baby! I can't give it to you!" the child refused firmly, but Feng Xue smiled and said:

"How about this, you can borrow my Little Figure to play with. I'll play with it in front of you for half an hour, and then I'll return it to you. How about that?"

Upon hearing "Little Figure," the child's eyes lit up, and then a sly expression appeared on his face. His eyes First Turn, and he said:

"My treasure is worth far more than your Little Figure! Just playing with it isn't enough! Here's the deal: you give me your Little Figure, and I'll lend it to you to play with for half a day!"

"You're being a bit greedy!" Feng Xue laughed when she heard the child say that. The child wanted to say something more, but Feng Xue said:

"Here's what I'll give you: a Wood Spirit. Take it home and nurture it yourself. How do you nurture it?"

"You're not lying to me, are you?" The child looked at Feng Xue suspiciously, but Feng Xue waved her hand and said:

"If I really wanted to cheat you, I would just rob you. You can't beat me, and you don't even know who I am. What can you do if I take it and leave?"

"That makes sense!" The child nodded, feeling that what the person said seemed to make some sense, but still said:

"Give me the Wood Spirit first!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xue shook her head, took a piece of wood from her pocket, and tossed it to the child, saying, "Wood Spirit needs a body to reside in. You'll have to make one yourself for it to be willing to follow you. Make Wooden Person first, then I can give you Wood Spirit."

"Let's do it!"

Children are always quite curious about doing crafts. Not to mention making Wooden Person, many children even want to join in building walls when they see others doing so.

Now that he had the tools, the child disregarded his Gold Bracelet and sat down to start chopping away at the wood.

Seeing the wood, which was no softer than bricks, being casually cut by the child as if it were clay, Feng Xue didn't care and began to examine the Gold Bracelet.

It wasn't that he didn't want to study the Red Silk Ribbon, but the gap between that thing and his existing knowledge was simply too vast! Even with the three powers of [Masterful Creation], [Mastery of a Hundred Schools], and [Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart], he could only vaguely discern its function and some basic principles. As for the craftsmanship, he had absolutely no clue.

The fact that this Red Silk Ribbon essentially has no concept of "thickness" is something Feng Xue couldn't figure out in a non- Weird Tale way, no matter how hard she racked her brains.

In comparison, although this Gold Bracelet is also full of Black Technology, Feng Xue can at least see some clues about it.

Aside from the customizable size feature, its essential function is simply to throw it at people; to put it bluntly, it's no different from a brick.

The technological sophistication of this thing lies in the fact that it's not the kind of thing that knocks people over with its weight, but rather with its acceleration.

Yes, this thing will continue to accelerate after being released. According to Feng Xue's feedback, this acceleration principle should be similar to Ion Thruster (or even Light Propulsion). It can rectify the ions in its path through a ring structure and turn them into its own propulsion force. The higher the initial velocity, the faster the acceleration will increase. This is fine in the Earth's environment, but in the universe, as long as the distance is far enough, this thing can make its speed infinitely close to the speed of light.

"Good heavens, so you're using a space-grade thruster like a brick?" Feng Xue was increasingly speechless as he looked at the Gold Bracelet, but no matter what, this thing was far more valuable to him than the Red Silk Ribbon in terms of research value.

"Alright!" Just as Feng Xue was trying to memorize the various runes on the Gold Bracelet, the child suddenly tugged at his trouser leg. Feng Xue looked down and saw an extremely ugly Wooden Person being held in his hand and being shaken loudly at him.

"..." Feng Xue looked at the Wooden Person, then disdainfully shoved the Gold Bracelet into the child's hand, saying:

"I'm not playing anymore."

"What? You want to back out?!" The child immediately became agitated, even clutching the Gold Bracelet with a "you believe I'll beat you to death" look on his face.

Seeing the child instinctively make this movement, Feng Xue knew that Imparting Knowledge and Teaching and skills was indeed not a form of brainwashing. However, he had expected this, so he simply squatted down to make his line of sight level with the child, and then pointed to the Wooden Person in the child's hand, saying:

"Do you really think this thing can be called Wooden Person? Or to put it another way, if you were Wood Spirit, would you be willing to use this thing as your body?"

"..." The child looked down at the Wooden Person in his hand, which not only had legs of different lengths, but also arms longer than legs, and even no joints, and in the end, he couldn't bring himself to say that he was willing.

Seeing his aggrieved expression, Feng Xue laughed, took out her Phantom Pen from her pocket, and began drawing lines on the wood:

"Nothing in this world is easy. Come, come, let me teach you how to be a good-looking Wooden Person."

"Hmm!" It has to be said that people are like this. Although Feng Xue originally owed him, when he was disappointed, he suddenly received hope, and the child immediately came over happily, looking like he had received a gift.

Feng Xue didn't really trick him; she focused on explaining to him how to make the parts the same size and how to make the joints flexible.

Perhaps the child was naturally intelligent, or perhaps it was the focus brought about by interest; in any case, after two hours of careful instruction, the child finally managed to create a decent-looking Wooden Person.

Although it's essentially just a movable stick figure, the child was as excited as if he had created the world's greatest robot.

Seeing this, Feng Xue nodded and said in an approving tone:

"Not bad, not bad, you're quite talented. Here, I'll give you a Wood Spirit."

As she spoke, Feng Xue flicked her finger, and the Gu Poison Body transformed into a point of Spiritual Light, which entered the wooden figure. The child immediately felt that the Wooden Person in his hand seemed to have the urge to move.

Having previously accidentally crushed Wood Spirit, the child immediately and carefully released his grip. The tiny Wooden Person, no bigger than a palm, stood up from his hand. However, compared to Feng Xue, who seemed incredibly clever, this Wood Spirit appeared rather dull-witted.

"Why does this look so clumsy?" the child grumbled, a little dissatisfied, but handled it with extreme care. Seeing this, Feng Xue didn't tease him, but simply said:

"It's only been born a short time, so it's naturally a bit slow. I'll teach you how to give it commands. The more I teach it, the smarter it will become!"
