While Su Rui and the Eunectes were chatting, Closure had already swiftly arrived with the materials, pushing a cart with the help of a drone, and opened the workshop door.

When she came in, Closure seemed worried about bumping into Su Rui and the Eunectes doing something, and she peeked in somewhat guiltily. Only after she met Su Rui's gaze did she smile awkwardly and come up to Su Rui to greet him.

"I've brought everything you asked for. Speaking of which, I also offer further assembly services. After all, I'm a very good engineer myself, so feel free to ask me for help anytime you need it."

Closure winked at Su Rui.

But Su Rui just smiled, put her hand on Closure's shoulder, and pushed her outside:

"I'll find time to spend with you later. Closure. Go back and get some rest."

Su Rui pushed Closure out. Although it was a bit of a pity, Closure did not resist and simply followed Su Rui's force as she was pushed outside.

But instead, the Eunectes came to Su Rui's side and placed a hand on Su Rui's shoulder. "Wait a minute, with Closure's help, we can complete the transformation of the Big Ugly even faster."

Seeing that things were taking a turn for the better, Closure's eyes lit up, and with the help of the Eunectes, she seized the opportunity to turn to look at Su Rui:

"Yes, yes, I'm quite capable too. I don't have much to do lately, so let me help out?"

"..." Su Rui looked at the Eunectes with a puzzled expression. "I thought you'd prefer to be alone with me."

The Eunectes smiled at Su Rui, silently replying, "With more people helping us, we can create the new Big Ugly sooner. Then we can have a proper private time together."

Surprised that the Eunectes had such an idea, Su Rui nodded and looked at Closure: "Then I'll leave things to you for the time being."

"Oh, don't be so formal. Our relationship doesn't need such polite talk."

Closure patted Su Rui on the shoulder, glanced at Su Rui's snake tail, and then looked with some regret at the Big Ugly hanging in the center of the studio.

"Is this the Big Ugly you're planning to renovate?"

"No... Actually, the inside of the Big Ugly is full of rusty or outdated parts. I'm thinking, why not just build a new one?"

As Su Rui spoke, he glanced at the control panel, where a section of the mechanical arm in the middle suddenly separated, a space reserved for the new machine.

"You've prepared quite thoroughly; no wonder you need so many parts."

Closure nodded. "Then let's begin. I'm ready."

"Alright, then good luck to you guys. I've given you the blueprints. I have something else to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer."

Su Rui nodded and walked out of the studio.

Closure and the Eunectes were both dumbfounded. The Eunectes instinctively reached out and hooked its tail around Su Rui's waist: 'Aren't you going to help us make the new Big Ugly?'

'I can't really help, but I'll use the Scanning Vision to guide you on what to do, don't worry.'

Su Rui turned to the Eunectes and winked. "And you don't think these materials and parts are free, do you? Mom certainly wouldn't make me work to pay it back, but she'll still ask for something. I'll go help her out~"

'Okay, if you encounter any danger, remember to call me anytime.'

The Eunectes nodded with some concern, but did not stop Su Rui from leaving.

Volume 8, Chapter 479: Seeing Through But Not Saying It

"Then good luck to you guys. I'll go see if the Doctor needs any help."

Suri nodded to the anaconda and Kroos, leaving the two of them in the workshop. The two of them would be busy with the production and assembly of the new mecha for a while.

After greeting a few people who recognized her along the way, Su Rui arrived at the Doctor's office. She gently pushed open the door and saw the Doctor and her assistant for the day, Myrtle, a lovely young girl from the Durin who used a flag as a weapon on the battlefield.

"Doctor, and Myrtle, hello, I've come to help."

Su Rui gently closed the office door. The Doctor smiled and raised his hand to greet Su Rui. Myrtle's eyes lit up as she looked at Su Rui, waving her sleeves, which were a bit too long to show her hands.

"Hello, Su Rui, I'm General Myrtle. It's nice to meet you. The Doctor has told me a lot about you. Let's go on a grand adventure together sometime!"

"Great! If we happen to have the chance, we'll definitely go on a big adventure."

Su Rui nodded and accepted Myrtle's invitation, but he didn't care too much about it. After all, there were so many people on Terra, Myrtle was just one of them. The chance of being chosen was too small. Probability told Su Rui that Myrtle might never have the chance to meet Su Rui at the right time for a great adventure, since Su Rui's trajectory in time was non-linear.

Arriving at the Doctor's desk, Su Rui gently tapped on it. The documents were directly stored in the System Space, and when she took them out again, they were already processed.

The Doctor casually flipped through the documents that Su Rui had processed, and couldn't help but smile with pleasure:

"I wish I had your ability, it would be so convenient."

"You're not simple yourself, are you?" Su Rui didn't call out the Doctor's complaint, but gently leaned closer to her ear:

"You're so powerful that you can even see the world from the perspective of stopping time, what's there to envy about others?"

That's just a matter of mindset.

The Doctor pinched Su Rui's cheek, looked at the somewhat curious Myrtle beside him, and gently pushed Su Rui toward Myrtle:

"Alright, that's all the work for today. You can all take a break now."

"You're letting me rest as soon as I arrive? Come to think of it, isn't there anything else to do here?"

Su Rui looked around, then suddenly smiled, turned around, and used his long, thick snake tail to wrap around Myrtle before walking outside.

But the Doctor was no pushover either, and directly reached out and grabbed Su Rui's tail:

"Wait, you can't leave yet."

"What's wrong? Didn't the Doctor say I could go rest with Myrtle?"

Su Rui turned and smiled at the Doctor. Myrtle, who was wrapped up by Su Rui's snake tail, had no plan. Instead, she waved her hands and flags curiously, feeling the sensation that was somewhat similar to flying.

"Don't think I don't know. You saw someone outside coming to see me with documents, right?"

The Doctor let out a disdainful sneer:

"Don't even think about leaving. You'll stay until the documents are resolved. Su Rui, you don't want the ' Big Ugly Eunectes ' project to be half-finished, with all the remaining materials taken away, and then you'll be sued for unpaid debts, do you?"

"If you dare do that, I'll make sure you can't use any electronic devices for a month!"

Su Rui rolled his eyes in annoyance, but he had only meant to tease the Doctor and didn't actually intend to leave Doctor alone to deal with the mountain of documents.

However, Su Rui had one question, "By the way, are you the only one at Rhodes Island handling so many documents? There are so many!"

"Who knows? That's how Rhodes Island's management structure works." The Doctor shrugged and pulled Su Rui back into the room.

Then the office door opened by itself, and Amiya came into the office carrying a thick stack of documents that almost covered Amiya face, placing them on the Doctor's desk.

"Doctor, these are today's documents... Su Rui's here too? Long time no see."

After Amiya put down the documents that were blocking her view, she noticed Su Rui standing to the side with Myrtle curled up by her tail.

Myrtle was still happily waving her flag on Su Rui's tail, as if she were flying herself.

"Long time no see, Amiya. I'll handle the documents."

Su Rui came to Amiya's side, and while Myrtle used her tail to wrap around Myrtle, making a flying-like motion.

The files Amiya had just placed on the table were stored in the System Space and then released again. The contents had already been processed, and now all that was needed was for the Doctor to distribute them. Compared to processing the files, this was already the easiest part of the job.

Amiya nodded, her eyes wide as she looked at Su Rui: "Su Rui, are you Feline this time? Can I touch your tail?"

"Of course, no problem." Su Rui nodded and handed Myrtle and Tail to Amiya.

Amiya smiled, reached out and gently pinched Su Rui's tail, then followed Su Rui outside.

"Then we won't disturb your rest, Doctor."

Su Rui winked at the Doctor, then closed the automatic door.

The Doctor sat back down at his computer, looking at the processed files with a sigh of relief. He then clicked on a folder containing a game.

Even Doctor needs rest and relaxation. The Doctor took a bottle of drink from her drawer, then opened another drawer full of snacks, leaving it open so she could easily reach in and grab the snacks she wanted whenever she needed them.

Meanwhile, Su Rui and Amiya came outside and asked curiously:

What does Amiya do most of the time? Is she always working?

"No, not really. I just helped with what I could. The Doctor did most of the work."

As Amiya spoke, she led Su Rui toward the bridge. At that moment, Myrtle was also put down by Su Rui, carrying the flag and walking side by side with Su Rui beside Amiya.

After arriving at the central control room of the bridge, Amiya showed off the spacious, somewhat empty space:

"I'm usually here to oversee the situation at Rhodes Island. Sometimes I help coordinate Rhodes Island issues or deliver documents to the Doctor that Doctor needs to process."

In fact, it wasn't just that. Su Rui used her Scanning Vision to see the intelligence clearly, but since Amiya had already said so, Su Rui didn't expose her.

Volume 8, Chapter 480: Let's go out and have some fun!

After touring Rhodes Island with Amiya and Myrtle, and playing a few games with Myrtle, Su Rui got up to say goodbye to Myrtle.

"Goodbye, and if we meet again, let's go on a grand adventure together!"

"Okay~ If there's a mission, let's go together~"

Myrtle nodded, waving her sleeves as she bid farewell to Su Rui.

At this moment, with the blueprints provided by Su Rui, and with the help of Su Rui 'Su Rui Scanning Vision and the mechanical arm he was operating, Closure and the Eunectes had completed most of the assembly work on the Big Ugly. Now all that was left was to conduct the final test.

Both of them were extremely passionate about engineering. Looking at the high-performance, handsome mecha, which exuded a sense of steel weight and roughness, and mechanical feel, they didn't even notice the passage of time.

They haven't even eaten yet, and have been working ever since.

So on her way back, Su Rui took a slight detour, packed up her dinner at the restaurant, hung it on her tail, and walked unsteadily towards the workshop where the Engineering Department's Eunectes and Closure were, her hands empty and the weight of the dinner propelling her.

Until Su Rui opened the studio door and entered, the completely focused Eunectes and Closure didn't notice his arrival. Instead, they enthusiastically cooperated in conducting further examinations of the Big Ugly.

"The joints in both feet underwent their third check-up, and everything was normal."

"Third cockpit inspection, no abnormalities found."

"The robotic arm has performed its third check; no abnormalities were found."

Yes, Su Rui redesigned Big Ugly has a cockpit that humans can sit in. However, it also has an automatic chip and the original Big Ugly's consciousness, so it also has automatic combat capabilities. The only thing that needs Su Rui's help now is to transfer the original Big Ugly's consciousness into the new machine.

The Eunectes and Closure finally finished their examination, sat down wearily, and gave each other a thumbs-up.

"Well done, thanks."

"It's alright, it's alright. I also really like mechanics. Actually, I quite like the smell of engine oil. You're pretty good. We can study new mechanics together sometime."

Closure responded to the Eunectes's praise, and then said:

"Besides, Su Rui will definitely give me a reward, so I shouldn't think too much about it. I'm just doing this for money, after all."

"Hmm." The Eunectes nodded, and as it turned its head, it noticed Su Rui leaning against the studio door. It greeted Su Rui.

"Su Rui? When did you get back? We've finished, and we checked it three times to make sure there won't be any problems."

"I just got back, and I brought you dinner."

Seeing that the Eunectes and Closure had noticed her, Su Rui got up from the wall and sat down next to them, who were playing a game Eunectes. Closure then flicked her tail and put down her dinner.

Su Rui hadn't eaten dinner either, so she sat down next to Closure and the Eunectes and ate with them. Of course, part of the reason was that watching others eat while she had nothing to do was a bit boring.

To make dinner less boring, Su Rui thought for a moment, glanced at the Eunectes and Closure flanking her, and suggested:

"How about I start up Big Ugly first and see? I guarantee there won't be any problems with me here."

Neither the Eunectes nor Closure had any objections; instead, their eyes lit up. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's begin now!"

It was clear they genuinely loved machines. Su Rui looked at the new mecha and transferred the somewhat bewildered part of Big Ugly's consciousness directly into it. Now, the new mecha was born.

After Big Ugly's consciousness shifted, he immediately showed some joy:

"I love this feeling, this new body, it's amazing."

'If you like it, then stand up and walk around.'

Big Ugly was very obedient. After hearing Su Rui's voice, it immediately started the engine, detached from the robotic arm, and began to move around in the open space of the workshop.

At the same time, it asked Su Rui with some curiosity, 'Who are these two people, one Eunectes and the other who also helped me create a new body?'

' Closure, you should have heard of her name before. Is there something you need?'

"It's nothing, I just wanted to remember these two mechanics so I can find them when I need help."

'Hmm... Eunectes is your pilot, remember to prioritize protecting her. I'll include that in your underlying code.'

"I understand." Big Ugly didn't object to this, he just responded to Su Rui with a positive thought, and then continued to move his new body.

Although it was just a preheating of the weapons that Su Rui had set up—the two Chainsaw Sword and the energy cannon on his chest—without even making any real destructive moves, Su Rui could already feel the burning gazes of the Eunectes and Closure on the Big Ugly.

It's clear that both the Eunectes and Closure want to try piloting it, but we'll have to figure that out ourselves later.

After watching Big Ugly stretch for a bit and then return to its resting position, Su Rui asked, "How are you feeling? Any problems?"
