Silver Wolf: Jiyuan, You Really Deserve to Be Strung Up on a Lamppost! [One Update Because I Can't Sleep]
After she finished speaking, Bronya looked at Ji Yuan and Sushang with a look of sympathy.
Sushang said confidently, "Therefore, our Xianzhou is constantly moving forward, slaying the Abundance Fiends in the universe. The Trailblazer of the Hunt will also surely slay the Yaoshi, the Aeon of Abundance."
"Yes, I believe you can do it."
Bronya encouraged Sushang.
Hearing her say that, Sushang scratched her head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Of course, these important matters have little to do with me. Only a smart person like my brother can do those things. As for me, I'll just stay by my brother's side for the rest of my life."
"Just lazing around and waiting to die? I'm really looking forward to that kind of life."
Xing came to Sushang's side at this moment and asked her a question.
"Hey, you can't neglect your duties!" March 7th complained.
Bronya turned her head and saw that everyone in the Astral Express Crew except Pom-Pom had come over.
Ji Yuan and Jingliu stopped what they were doing when they saw everyone coming.
"How did you get here?"
Ji Yuan felt a little embarrassed being surrounded by a group of people watching his swordplay.
Himeko said to Ji Yuan, "We're here to prepare for the next phase of our battle plan. The Anti-Matter Legion will be amassing an even larger force. We need to make preparations early as well. Belobog, build an even stronger defense."
"Um."
Ji Yuan nodded.
Remembering those Creation Engine, Ji Yuan quickly said to Himeko, "By the way, Himeko- nee, when we're setting up the defenses, I need to take you to a place first. The Creation Engine there might be of great help to us. Himeko- nee, we might also need your mechanical manufacturing skills to assist us then."
Ji Yuan remembered that Teacher Ruan Mei had told her that Himeko, the navigator of the Astral Express, was also a mechanical master. If she were to specialize in mechanical studies, she might have a chance to enter the Genius Society.
With her around, could the repair and enhancement of the Creation Engine be taken to an even greater extent?
Could I also learn a little something from this?
Ji Yuan, you're not satisfied with Screwllum's technology? Himeko, shouldn't you contribute some of your technology too?
Seeing his expression, Xing immediately said, "It's over, Himeko, your skills are doomed. That guy Ji Yuan, besides stealing hearts, is best at stealing skills."
At this moment, Himeko spoke up for Ji Yuan.
"Xing, Ji Yuan doesn't mean stealing technology. Completely copying and using it is one thing, but learning it and then expanding upon it is another. If it's the latter, other people, unless they are enemies, would be happy to have the other party help them improve their technology for free. I also want to see Ji Yuan's talent in this area, and what kind of progress you can bring to my technology."
Ji Yuan nodded vigorously, glancing smugly at Xing.
Xing clenched his fist, wanting to punch Ji Yuan hard.
However, considering that she was still no match for Ji Yuan, and that Ji Yuan had mastered a new sword technique today, she decided to give up.
At this moment Ji Yuan said to the others, "Let's go, let's go there now."
"Um."
Bronya and Cocolia nodded quickly.
They were most concerned about Belobog's safety; any glimmer of hope would be welcome.
Welt, Xing, and the others naturally had no objections.
After quickly packing up, the group headed towards the location where the Creation Engine was placed in the north of the city.
Chapter 186 Silver Wolf: Ji Yuan, you really deserve to be hung from a street lamp! [One more chapter updated because I can't sleep]
North of Belobog, the group once again saw the Creation Engine.
Welt Yang's eyes lit up with fervor as he looked at the Creation Engine. Clearly, these massive robots held a strong allure for him.
One of the Creation Engine was particularly damaged.
It seemed as if they had experienced something terrible.
Seeing this, Welt Young's previously fervent emotions instantly turned into a look of regret.
He asked the group, "What happened?"
Bronya's gaze involuntarily turned to Ji Yuan, the one who had swung the Creation Engine at the Doomsday Beast.
Looking into Bronya's eyes, Ji Yuan proudly puffed out his chest.
That's me.
Would anyone else do something like using the Creation Engine as a weapon?
"What's going on?" Welt Young asked curiously.
Bronya recounted everything that had happened there to everyone.
Just as she was saying this, an idea suddenly flashed through Ji Yuan's mind:
His newly acquired secret technique allows him to create a frigid zone within a hundred meters of his sword. So, the longer his sword, the larger its range, right? If he's wielding the Creation Engine, one hundred plus one hundred equals two hundred meters, so what if...
"Little March, are your trains sturdy?"
Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Himeko, Welt Yang, and March 7th all showed signs of wariness.
Himeko asked him, "What are you going to do?"
His eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous aura.
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually. What if the Anti-Matter Legion comes and damages the train?" Ji Yuan scratched his head and said with a grin.
"You'd better be."
March 7th was complaining on the side.
Ji Yuan pretended not to hear and continued to ask Himeko, "Sister Himeko, what are your thoughts on modifying these Creation Engine?"
He wanted to see what amazing developments Himeko, who could repair the stranded Astral Express, would make.
Not only him, but Bronya and Cocolia were also looking at her expectantly.
"I hope Himeko won't be as rude as Ji Yuan."
Bronya thought to herself.
Himeko, holding her briefcase, jumped onto the Creation Engine with remarkable speed despite being dressed in a formal gown.
"Himeko Himeko's movements are so agile."
Seeing her actions, Bronya couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"As the navigator of the train, one naturally needs to be multi-talented," Welt said with a smile. Then, with an expectant look in his eyes, he asked Bronya, "By the way, these Creation Engine need to be operated by people, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Welt."
Bronya nodded.
Upon hearing her say that, Welt Young pushed up his glasses.
If there's only one Creation Engine available, it's not easy for him to drive it. But if there are many to operate...
Himeko then returned, Ji Yuan asked, "How do you think it's best to revise it, Himeko?"
"It's hard to say about other aspects, but my expertise lies in interstellar travel dynamics. I have some ideas about the power source of these Creation Engine."
"Oh? What are your thoughts?"
Ji Yuan quickly inquired.
These Creation Engine are inoperable not only because some parts are damaged, but more importantly because the energy supply from the Geomarrow is simply insufficient.
"Jarilo's energy is insufficient right now, and the key issue is that the energy supply devices are severely damaged, making them extremely difficult to repair," Himeko said to Ji Yuan. "Therefore, if we want these Creation Engine to function, we must replace them with a better energy source."
"What kind of energy?"
Ji Yuan inquired.
Himeko then turned to look at Hoshi and said with a smile, "Hoshi, you don't need to participate in the recent battles."
"Ah?!"
A look of bewilderment appeared on Xing's face.
Himeko smiled and said, "The energy contained in the star core in your body is very abundant. It was difficult to use it before, but with Ji Yuan here, we can extract your energy and use it to supply the energy of all the Creation Engine present."
"No, you want me to supply all these Creation Engine?"
Xing couldn't help but swallow.
How many Creation Engine are there here? Let's not say a hundred, there are at least several dozen. And the height of these Creation Engine is almost a hundred meters. If I were to supply them all, I would be completely drained.
"Yes, you believe you can do it."
Ji Yuan patted her on the shoulder and gave her a thumbs-up in encouragement.
"I'm afraid I'll end up dried up..." Xing complained helplessly, but still agreed.
Himeko had already taken out her briefcase and various tools for modification.
"Alright, next I'll start modifying these power units. As for the combat units, that's up to you Ji Yuan. Before those Anti-Matter Legion attack, we'll modify as many as we can. Remember, the modified units need to be more robust; the energy from the star core is much more explosive than that from the Geomarrow vein."
"Uh-huh."
Ji Yuan nodded, and then he began to think about how to modify these Creation Engine.
However, while he was thinking about reforming the system, he was thinking about something else entirely.
How many modifications could he and Himeko make together? If they modified two or three of them when facing the Anti-Matter Legion, how much impact would that have on the battle?
To make the renovation, a large number of maintenance workers would be needed.
However, such repair workers require a long period of training, and Belobog currently lacks the necessary resources and time.
"If only every worker could be like a robot, directly instilling the transformation plan into them."
Ji Yuan thought to himself.
However, after thinking this through, he was stunned.
Etc,
Robot?
"It seems like I have a solution."
Ji Yuan was instantly inspired.
He jumped off the Creation Engine and said to Himeko and Bronya, who were present, "I have a way to find a large number of workers. You wait here for me. I'm going back to Belobog."
What is it?
Himeko asked curiously.
"I'll keep you in suspense for now. I'll go to Klippefort first, and then I'll go underground. When I come back, I'll have enough workers."
Ji Yuan answered with a smile.
After saying that, he turned and walked towards Belobog.
"What will he do next?"
As everyone watched Ji Yuan walk away, they thought to themselves.
Because Ji Yuan has shown so much, everyone's expectations for him are getting higher and higher.
Ji Yuan hurriedly returned to Klippefort.
When she arrived at Firefly's room, she was reading a book. Seeing Ji Yuan rushing over, she quickly put down her book, stood up, and went to Ji Yuan's side.
She asked somewhat nervously, "What's wrong? Why did you come in such a hurry?"
Ji Yuan gave her a reassuring look, then continued, "I have something to discuss with you. I'm going to send a message to Silver Wolf Firefly, so could you help me calm her down?"
Hearing him say that, Firefly couldn't help but chuckle. Then, seeing Ji Yuan's expression, she immediately covered her mouth.
"Since you tricked her out of a thousand Credits last time, it's no wonder she won't have a good look on her face when she sees you."
Ji Yuan shrugged, making an indifferent expression.
Then, he dialed Silver Wolf's number.
The call was connected.
