Universal Mechanic

Chapter 592

At this time upstairs

People gather together to chat, watch TV, read books or play games.

Asta said while playing cards: It’s a pity that everyone came, although most people live here.

Noel said as he drew a card from the deck: "After all, we are either running around or moving only in a specific area. Most people are resting and recovering right now, right? So, Ain, how long do you plan to rest?"

Ain, who was browsing on her phone, put down her phone after hearing Noel's words, thought for a while and said: "About half a month to a month? Why do you need my help?"

Noel was thinking about how to deal with Asta with the bad cards in his hand. He hesitated and played the cards and said: I guess so? I have something to steal in a few days, but the other party is also very cautious. I hope you can help me find a spot.

Ain looked at Noel with some confusion and said: Aren’t you looking for Charlotte?

Charlotte walked up with a plate of French fries and said helplessly: I had something to do that day and couldn't go, but that uncle was quite arrogant and even provoked you.

Noel spread his hands helplessly and said: Although the painting was indeed obtained through improper means, that was three generations ago, and the person involved has been arrested and the follow-up has been negotiated with the victim, so I have no intention of stealing it, but you can see for yourself.

As he spoke, Noel projected a picture. It was a web page with the following content.

I hereby challenge the Phantom Thief Wujiu: If you can steal the most precious treasure, the Rose of Midsummer, from the exhibition I will hold in five days, I will present all the works on display to you. Respectfully presented by Duke Misuo.

Xi Qiling took a look and said: This is an attempt to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Almost none of these exhibits are clean. As long as you steal that painting, it would be equivalent to blowing them up with a big explosion. But I don't think the other party will be so kind.

Noel shrugged and said: This is not the first time I have played with this guy. He is a guy with an overflowing sense of justice. Sometimes he will even take the initiative to send me information... I guess this guy was threatened. He told me that his daughter was studying somewhere else, so he usually has a lot of work, so he can only take the opportunity to see his daughter when he goes out to catch me.

Xi Qiling thought for a moment and said, "Hey, do you want me to come? I have general information about all the exhibits and I can give it to you right away if you need it."

Noel said in confusion: "Hmm? I'm happy to help you, but what do you want? Frankly speaking, I'm quite poor."

Xi Qiling used his cell phone to give orders to his subordinates to collect intelligence while saying: I don't lack that little money, and after all, the location is in Eden, which can add some merit to Her Majesty the Queen. By the way, you have to cooperate with me.

Noel nodded and said: Then I'll leave it to you. I owe you one.

Xi Qiling smiled and said: If I have something to steal, I'll come to you again. So, did you lose?

Noel sighed and said: ...It's already lost.

At this time, there was no crystal left in front of Noel that represented his health points, which also meant that he lost, but of course he was not convinced at all.

Noel's mouth twitched as he said to Asta: Come again! It's just that I'm unlucky this time!

Asta smiled very proudly and said: Haha, you won’t be able to win even if you try ten more times.

Noel said with a twitching mouth, quite unhappily: You are so confident. Look, I can kill you in one second.

Asta smiled confidently and said: Oh, would I be afraid of you?

As they spoke, Noel and Asta began to shuffle and rearrange the cards.

Looking at Noel who couldn't even keep a poker face, Charlotte rolled her eyes and said: What a man (but this is really rare after all, he is used to keeping a poker face and he is only so relaxed with us. But compared to watching them play cards, the other side is more interesting).

And over there at the pool table

Shen Yanyan picked up the golf club and said to Ye Xiao: So two wins out of three?

Ye Xiao wiped the club with a cloth and said with a smile: Just don’t be like those two who can’t afford to lose.

Of course, what responded to him was a crossbow arrow and a high-speed spinning playing card, but Ye Xiao easily turned the cue and used the runes he had arranged in advance to block the attack.

Then, ignoring the slightly more threatening taunt, he pulled a silver coin from his pocket.

Ye Xiao looked at Shen Yanyan and said with a smile: Front or back?

Shen Yanyan thought for a moment and said: Let’s face it head on.

Ye Xiao nodded and said: Let’s start.

Then Ye Xiao flicked the coin into the air. Just as the coin was about to fall, a sudden explosion and vibration made everyone stop what they were doing.

Then everyone put down what they were doing and went to the window to look outside. However, there was no problem at this time except that there was some dust on An Xiangsheng's face and clothes who blocked the explosion, and there was a big hole on the ground.

Xi Qiling looked at the scene, sighed and said: What have they done again?

Dylan looked at the hole on the ground outside, Xista hiding behind An Xiangsheng, Han Shao digging Mary out of the soil with a shovel, Mo Tianshu checking the Thousand Machine Umbrella, and Donghuang Jingxue checking the doll, and instantly came to a conclusion.

Dylan: Most likely, Mary dragged Mo Tianshu and Xiao Jingxue to cause trouble, and Han Shao dragged An Xiangsheng along just in case.

Yue Changyi took out his camera to take pictures and said: This is really a daily routine for us, but this time it is quite surprising that the house built by Rihe will be affected.

Luo Mengli spread her hands and said: After all, it's nearby. But since they are doing experiments at such a distance, there shouldn't be any problems. How could it explode?

Li Fenghua shook his head helplessly and said: I'll go and take a look anyway. After all, it would be too embarrassing to attend a party with an injury.

At this time, outside, Li Yisheng used magic to fill the hole in the ground and said to Mary who was kneeling on the ground obediently.

Li Yisheng sighed and said: So what are you doing this time?

Mary wiped her face with a towel and said awkwardly: What, there was an accident... Wow wait!

Li Yisheng used magic to hang Mary on the tree and said: I can see it, so Han Shao, tell me what happened?

Han Shao tried to knock Mary down with a stick and said mockingly: Why didn't you just ask me directly at the beginning?

Li Yisheng checked An Xiangsheng and said: I forgot, it's almost the same now, tell me quickly. And An Xiangsheng, you are fine, but you'd better take a rest, the training volume is a bit too much.

An Xiangsheng nodded and said: I will pay attention to it. I will go to rest first. Xista, let’s go.

While putting away the medicine box, Sista said: "Okay, is it almost time to eat? I'm hungry."

An Xiangsheng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's almost done, right?" By the way, where is Fang Mengtie?

After hearing An Xiangsheng's words, everyone no longer cared about watching the show or the lecture and hurried to Xiao Mingqin's room. Fortunately, what they were worried about did not happen. Xiao Mingqin was still lying on the bed sleeping soundly, and Fang Mengtie was eating biscuits.

Fang Mengtie tilted his head in confusion and said: What are you doing?

Everyone:……

Everyone fell silent at the same time. After all, they couldn't say that they were worried that Fang Mengtie would eat Xiao Mingqin in another sense.

Ji Qianhua was the first to speak: "That's it? It's really boring, let's go."

Just after Ji Qianhua and others left

Fang Mengtie roughly guessed the purpose of the crowd and rolled his eyes and said: Hey, am I that exaggerating? By the way, what do you want to do with the chain, Xiaoyan?

Shen Yanyan put the chain away and said seriously: It's just in case.

Fang Mengtie was quite dumbfounded and sneered: ...Who will take this overly serious person away?

Charlotte spread her hands helplessly and said: She is Xiaoyan after all. It's a pity that this guy can sleep so well.

Although everyone lowered their voices, it was still quite noisy. However, Xiao Mingqin slept soundly.

Chu Yunqi shrugged and said: This guy has zero suspicion of us but he still has some brains.

As Chu Yunqi spoke, she looked at the table full of snacks. Xiao Mingqin himself did not have any particular need to keep eating to supplement his nutrition, so it went without saying who these snacks were prepared for.

Now in the forest outside

Feng Xiaoyu lay on the ground with a tired face and said: "Oh, I'm so tired! I want more money!"

Lin Xinglin picked up the bracelet in front of him that looked like the starry sky and said to Feng Xiaoyu and Zhu Rongnian: Thank you for your great help.

Zhu Rongnian helped Feng Xiaoyu, who was about to self-destruct to refresh her status, up and said with a smile: "It's okay. After all, I just helped a little. By the way, Xiaoyu, can you still move? I'll help you go back."

Feng Xiaoyu sighed and said: To be honest, it’s relatively quick to die and be resurrected, so let’s take this opportunity to have a big meal.

As they were talking, the three of them walked towards the dormitory and then they saw Mary still hanging on the tree.

Mary looked at the three of them, waved, and said: Sorry, I’m doing you a favor.

Lin Xinglin hooked Mary down with his tail and said: What are you doing?

While tidying up her clothes, Mary said somewhat embarrassedly: Oops, there was a little accident and I was hung up by Li Yisheng.

Lin Xinglin said without thinking: It must be a big trouble, right?

Mary quickly said: Hey, it was just an explosion!

Zhu Rongnian calmly sneered: ...It's no wonder that you were hung on the tree after the explosion next to the dormitory.

Mary said dejectedly: Uh, I can't refute it.

As they were talking, several people entered the dormitory. At this time, except for Xiao Mingqin who was resting, everyone was eating in the restaurant. This made Lin Xinglin unable to find a good opportunity to give the gift out.

At this time, Mu Xingshuang was eating while listening to Ji Qianhua's lecture.

Ji Qianhua said as she used chopsticks to draw on the plate with sauce: "That is to say, we need appropriate disputes. Well, the competition between knights and adventurers over there is very good. Humans will never give up this primitive impulse. But that is why we are human. And this kind of competition can also bring progress. But we need to check and balance it. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if we really fight. By the way, this year's competition here is the sculpture competition and the cross-desert marathon! Next year's competition is the weaving competition and the fighting competition!"

Mu Xingshuang noticed the difference in funding and said in confusion: "It's really amazing, but won't it be troublesome to hold it?" Like the funding part.

Ji Qianhua waved her hand casually when she heard Mu Xingshuang's question and said, "It's okay. Usually, the income after the event is about double the cost of the event. For example, the venue of the sculpture competition can be used by the state. As for the sponsors inside the venue, I remember that art companies accounted for the majority of the industries related to sculpture, right? The others should be fixed food and media industries, right? ... So, there is already a list of sponsors for next year, right?"

As he spoke, Ji Qianhua suddenly took out a rather thick list.

Ji Qianhua said as she flipped through the list: Tsk, it's a little worse than expected. As expected, Japan's construction work has attracted quite a few guys with a keen sense of smell. It seems that the information about inviting foreign players must be released first.

While picking up some food, Luo Yueshang suddenly said: By the way, Ji Qianhua, Sister Brunhilde said that she will come to you in person to discuss the investment with you later. After all, there is a high probability that it will not work if we go by normal means, so we might as well use some favors.

Ji Qianhua said in surprise: "Normally I wouldn't stand it, ok?" She shouldn't know about this kind of thing. I'm quite surprised that she, who is serious by nature, would do this.

Luo Yueshang took out a piece of information and gave it to Ji Qianhua while saying: She said she would come up with something good enough and she is the boss now. Odin ran away with his wife and God knows when he will come back. Oh, by the way, this is the information details of the basic cooperation. She plans to discuss it with you in person.

Ji Qianhua said while flipping through the information: Oh, it's still as high a standard as ever... So that means there is indeed room for cooperation. Well, I'll just look forward to it.

And aside

Lin Xinglin said while eating fried noodles: Give up, once she starts working, she will not stop until she reaches a certain stage, and she stretched out her hand.

Mu Xingshuang stretched out her hand in confusion and then Lin Xinglin put the bracelet he had just made on her.

Lin Xinglin: This bracelet is made of my scales. It allows me to know your location and I will also know when you are in danger. It also contains hundreds of millions of Xiaoyu’s blood, so it can heal minor injuries. So don’t take it off, okay?

Mu Xingshuang nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! But mom, this feels a bit like it's for children, right?"

In response to Mu Xingshuang's question, Lin Xinglin nodded and said: After all, it was made with reference to the alarm bracelet, but after all, this is just part of the gift, so don't take it too seriously.

Mu Xingshuang felt puzzled when she saw Lin Xinglin who had obviously become very casual. However, when she glanced down, she saw that Lin Xinglin was now drinking wine instead of a beverage. Then she looked up and saw Feng Xiaoyu holding a sign which read.

This idiot's true nature will show after drinking, but he won't get drunk.

Mu Xingshuang was about to say something when Lin Xinglin suddenly said: Then you should go to school in two days.

Mu Xingshuang said in confusion or astonishment: Huh?

Seeing Mu Xingshuang's puzzled look, Lin Xinglin shook his head and said: Oh, maybe you drank too much. Let me explain it again. You are not good at getting along with others, so go to school and learn how to get along with others. By the way, Lola will go with you, so you two should get along well.

Mu Xingshuang blinked and said: Huh? Huh!!!

after dinner

Xiao Mingqin, who was called up by everyone because the dinner was not enough, smiled and took out two exquisite large cakes. One was an exquisite cream cake with lots of fruits, and the other was a chocolate cake with star-shaped fruit slices.

Xiao Mingqin said with a smile: The cakes are here, one is prepared by Xiaoxing for Xiaoxingshuang and the other is prepared by Xiaoxingshuang for Xiaoxing.

Mu Xingshuang smiled and looked at Lin Xinglin who was frozen and said: Hey, are you surprised?

Lin Xinglin blinked and almost cried.

Lin Xinglin: I am so touched that my daughter has grown up!

As she spoke, Lin Xinglin hugged Mu Xingshuang tightly. Of course, before she hugged her, the others cast defensive magic on Mu Xingshuang to prevent her from dying.

Mu Xingshuang was completely unable to break free and could only pat Lin Xinglin on the back and said, "Mom, calm down! Teacher, help me!"

Lin Changye said while eating the cake: Give up, she is already drunk. It is useless for me to come before she reacts. Don't worry, there will be some cake for you.

Mu Xingshuang: Teacher, you are so cruel!
