Hmm... (cont.)

The group exchanged glances, confirming that the other person was definitely not the master of the Hundred Refining Bureau.

Why would anyone come here?

Puzzled, the crowd peeked out and looked towards the center of the commotion.

But after just one glance, they were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, on a flat area outside the warehouse, Sui was laughing loudly, maneuvering a giant metal dragon to drift in place!

She's drifting!!!

"This... this is impossible! Old Shan! Didn't you say this thing couldn't move?"

One of the dragon-men, witnessing this scene, almost cursed.

He immediately grabbed the bear-man beside him and asked a question.

"I... I don't know either. I've done the experiments... this thing really can't move!"

The bear-man was also innocent. He stared wide-eyed at the center of the arena, at the girl in white who, along with two others, controlled the giant dragon to spin around in place, and at the way the steel tail lashed out in an instant.

How can it be so flexible?!

"I knew it... I knew it, Old Deng! I told you my dragon would work, right?! You just wouldn't believe me!"

Where there is sorrow, there is also joy.

As the designers of the dragon, the group almost wept with joy as they hugged each other, unable to contain their excitement.

For them, nothing brings more happiness than having something they have carefully designed to use.

The team members specializing in materials and the designers at several key stages also joined forces.

But instead of weeping with joy, they looked at each other in silence.

"Are we... dreaming?"

"I don't know..."

"Then why can this thing move?"

"Perhaps... we really are geniuses? Have we created some new material in a way we never even thought of?"

Do you think it's possible?

"The world is so big, there's nothing that can't be more amazing..."

"That makes sense... Could it be that we're geniuses? Did we make a mistake in our calculations? Is this thing really going to work?!"

"But that doesn't make sense either. The teacher has calculated it more than ten times and still says it won't work... What, you idiot? What did you add to it back then?"

"I don't know either. I forged it according to the standard requirements. These things need to be registered. I didn't add any extra materials."

Everyone was confused.

Both of them looked somewhat bewildered.

At this moment, Sui finally had some fun and jumped off the dragon with a whoosh.

Beside them, Maria, holding the despairing Zuo Zheng in her arms, stepped off the machine.

"Now that you've had enough fun... let's put the fire away."

Maria wasn't particularly fond of these strange, large machines like most girls... In terms of both combat and personality, she actually preferred more traditional melee weapons.

So when she played on the dragon, she naturally didn't show the same excitement as Sui.

After noticing the Swarm of people carrying buckets, Maria turned around and saw the raging fire burning in the warehouse behind her.

He shook his head helplessly.

"Fire? Oh, that works too."

Sui also noticed these people... but she hadn't paid much attention to their gazes from the beginning. It was only after Maria spoke that she came to her senses and silently reached out her hand.

The flame in the girl's hand was like a docile little snake, darting into her palm in a flash.

A sudden disaster also came to an abrupt end at the girl's hands.

Everyone present was somewhat confused.

Maria gently patted Zuo Zheng's face in her arms.

Are you still conscious?

"Ah?"

Zuo Zheng, regaining his senses, froze for a few seconds.

It was as if her brain had rebooted; she looked around for a long time before realizing what was going on, and her face instantly turned bitter.

"So many have come?"

"Um?"

"This is getting a bit difficult to handle..."

Zuo Zheng took a deep breath.

"You guys have really put me in a lot of trouble..."

As she spoke, she rose from Maria's embrace, looking at the Swarm of masters beside her with a troubled expression. These were masters she usually needed to make an appointment to meet.

After repeatedly preparing herself mentally, she gritted her teeth and took a step forward.

After all, it was she who brought Sui into this place, and it was also her who failed to keep a close eye on Sui...

She knew all along that Sui wasn't so well-behaved, but in the end, she still let him cause trouble.

I must take responsibility for this!

Looking at the masters who had pushed aside their guards and were rushing over with flushed faces, she forced a smile.

"Masters..."

"Make way, make way!"

To Zuo Zheng's surprise, the craftsmen completely ignored her and rushed to the side of the giant dragon machinery.

They didn't even care that it hadn't cooled down and was still scalding hot; they reached out and touched it directly.

"Good heavens... good heavens!"

The craftsman specializing in materials noticed the steel on its surface and his eyes lit up.

"Who forged this? What new method did they use? Why didn't they say so sooner?! Excellent steel! Absolutely excellent steel!"

The craftsmen specializing in mechanical engineering marveled at the exposed metal structure.

"This thing... genius! Only a genius could have come up with it, how can it be used like this?"

Meanwhile, the technician in charge of energy squatted to the side, carefully collecting the debris left by the flames on the ground.

"Make way! Move your feet! Don't step on it! We're counting on this to restore the original formula!"

Everyone has their own things to do, and everyone has their own joys and sorrows.

But without exception.

No one cared how the flames started.

They just wanted to know how this machine actually worked!

"This is incredible... it's absolutely incredible!"

After studying it for a while, everyone realized that they had actually come to put out a fire in the first place.

They see such good machinery, but nobody cares about it anymore.

They just wanted to find out which genius could have made these things!

Meanwhile, Maria, holding the young man's hand, led him to the Zuo Zheng front.

"How are you?"

The man asked with some concern.

She didn't care much about other people, but... Zuo Zheng was, after all, her 'friend'.

According to Maria's definition, friends should be able to help and support each other.

Since the other party had shown her something as wonderful as Mechanical Dragon, she naturally wanted to repay them in kind.

But... why does Zuo Zheng seem to be in a bad mood?

"No... it's nothing..."

Zuo Zheng was also somewhat confused about the current situation.

She looked at her masters, who seemed completely absorbed in their own world, and her expression grew increasingly subtle.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at the surprised and delighted attitude of these craftsmen, she knew that Sui was definitely not in any danger.

Furthermore, if these craftsmen knew that this steel dragon was modified by Sui alone in just a few minutes, they would not only not blame her, but the Swarm of them would likely beg the girl to take them on as apprentices.

After all, the Hundred Refining Bureau is a place that purely judges ability.

Here, no matter what reputation you have outside, once you come here, you're just a basic apprentice.

What kind of research can a team produce to be called a mentor?

To be called a master, one must pioneer something new.

If you can meet a few of these requirements, then naturally there will be plenty of people coming to beg to become your apprentice and learn your skills.

These people are an extremely pure group.

This is really...

Thinking of this, Zuo Zheng couldn't help but rub his temples, his face full of headache.

She really didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

Sui, standing to the side, seemed to realize that her actions had caused trouble for the other party.

After thinking for a few moments, she nodded slightly.

"Since that's the case... then I'll give you some compensation."

"Um?"

Before Zuo Zheng could react, Sui turned around and took out his longsword, which he had forged over a thousand battles.

She casually pinched off part of the sword tip, drew Zuo Zheng's weapon, and sharpened it with her bare hands!

With just a simple touch, the entire weapon emitted an astonishingly cold light.

Even though Zuo Zheng did nothing, the guards around him instinctively turned their heads, their faces full of vigilance.

What a sharp and imposing presence!

"It's all processed! Come and try it!"

Sui didn't pay attention to the expressions of the other guards, but instead looked at Zuo Zheng in front of her with a grin.

Although the processing method was casual, Sui has already proven with her actions that her abilities are truly remarkable.

That's really strong!

Although Zuo Zheng hesitated, he still picked up the sharp sword.

She had originally intended to carry the sword with one hand.

But to my surprise, this thin layer of coating made the sword much heavier!

Almost instantly, the longsword was about to fall to the ground!

"Ha!"

He stretched out his hands urgently Zuo Zheng barely managed to lift it up.

But after only a few swings, she was astonished to find that the sword was much sharper than she had imagined.

It was just a wave of the hand out of thin air.

The weeds directly opposite broke off on their own!

His abilities caused everyone around him to widen their eyes in astonishment.
