Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 75 The Mine Area Valkyrie

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but feel expectant and curious.

A moment later, they entered the Tang family mine through the main gate. Along the way, the miners chatted and joked with Tang Tiaotiao, but they were inexplicably wary of Wu Xian, this unfamiliar "little blondie".

“These craftsmen are all old colleagues left by my grandfather. They watched me grow up.”

Tang Tiaotiao acted as if she were at home, introducing herself as she walked.

As Wu Xian nodded in response, his gaze involuntarily drifted towards the bottomless mine pit.

Even from a distance, you can see at least a dozen Pillar Brothers working hard in the mine pit, and several Pillar Brothers in the form of dump trucks are transporting ore to the mine.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a theme park dedicated to Brother Zhu.

boom! boom! boom!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the mine, a fierce battle was raging, with artillery fire filling the air.

Wu Xian couldn't help but feel nervous. "What happened?"

"It's normal," Tang Tiaotiao said calmly. "We're fighting with other mines. After Grandpa passed away, several large mines in the surrounding area have been eyeing our lucrative business and have been causing trouble for us all the time."

"Hey~ that's my mom leading the charge."

Wu Xian followed Tang Tiaotiao's gaze and was completely shocked.

It was a fully armed figure, his entire body covered in mechanical equipment, nimbly weaving through the air amidst the clashing gunfire, leading more than ten fully armed subordinates to easily deal with the thugs from the neighboring mine.

boom--!
As the giant cannon on the arm's mechanical armor charged up, it unleashed a laser beam that pierced the sky, instantly shooting down an enemy spirit.

Then, the heavy cannon transformed into a giant blade of light, and with a swift stroke, it struck down another enemy.

He was like Lu Bu among men, or Zhao Yun of the mining area, moving freely through enemy lines.

In the midst of the chaos, one of the team members spotted Tang Tiaotiao and quickly shouted to the mechanical Valkyrie, "Boss, look who's coming!"

Upon hearing the sound, the Valkyrie paused slightly, swiftly dispatched an enemy, and decisively left the battlefield to her subordinates before swooping down towards Tang Tiaotiao and Wu Xian.

boom!
The person landed smoothly thanks to the mechanical propulsion system throughout their body.

The mechanical armor covering his head retracted and retreated, revealing a face with slightly messy long hair, outstanding demeanor, and heroic bearing. The attack devices all over his body also quickly retracted, and his height was estimated to be about 1.8 meters.

His spiritual power cultivation had even reached level seven.

"Tiaotiao, what brings you here?" Li Zhanying strode forward, his voice booming. "Didn't your dad send anyone to follow you?"

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm pretty capable now." Tang Tiaotiao pouted smugly, "Besides, I have Xiao Xianzi with me."

Looking at Li Zhanying in front of him, Wu Xian couldn't help but think of Tang Zhenghong.

Compared to the female Lu Bu before him, Tang Zhenghong suddenly seemed much gentler in his eyes.

Looking at the girl next to him, he now understood who she resembled.

But then again, I hope that Jump Sister won't grow into such a tall and big physique in the future.

"Xiao Xianzi?" Li Zhanying's eyes lit up. "This is the young man named Wu Xian? Not bad, not bad, his appearance is comparable to your uncle's when he was young."

As he spoke, he chuckled heartily and stepped forward to pat Wu Xian on the shoulder.

Good heavens, if it weren't for the physical training and spiritual "techniques" the old man taught him, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the force of that "gentle" slap.

"You're quite sturdy," Li Zhanying said with surprise. "You'll definitely be able to give birth to a big, healthy son in the future!"

"..."

Wu Xian's face was contorted, unsure whether to cry or laugh.

Suddenly I realized that Sister Jump wasn't so worldly after all.

"Er Gou, Er Gou," Li Zhanying gestured to his underlings behind him, "prepare a table of food and drinks."

"Okay~!"

"Let's go inside and talk."

Li Zhanying warmly invited Wu Xian to walk into the fortress-like building of the mine.

Wu Xian pointed to the ongoing battle in the distance, "Aren't you going to leave that side?"

"Small situations are manageable for the brothers."

Li Zhanying waved his hand dismissively.

Amidst the sounds of gunfire outside, the three men entered the fortress building.

“From now on, I’ll call you Xiao Xianzi,” Li Zhanying said, growing more and more fond of Wu Xian. “Your ‘Optimus Prime’ scroll has been a huge help to your auntie; the surrounding mines are practically drooling with envy.”

Wu Xian smiled awkwardly, looking somewhat reserved. He had never been as reserved as he was today in his entire life.

"Mom, can't you show some concern for your daughter?" Tang Tiaotiao pouted unhappily. "Your daughter is very outstanding now, okay? You might not believe it, but your daughter is already a proper scroll painter with divine maps."

"Huh?" Li Zhanying was stunned and shocked. "Really? My daughter has this ability?"

When she learned that her daughter had been accepted into the art studio, she even went home to celebrate.

I never thought my daughter could go very far as a scroll painter.

Who would have thought that my precious daughter would even create a divine image of the soul?

On the contrary, their son, on whom they had placed high hopes, had a difficult path as a scroll painter.

The key point is that from childhood to adulthood, I've never seen any talent in painting scrolls.
He doesn't study properly in school, and he's a mess of his art classes too.

On the contrary, she learned this kind of chivalrous code of brotherhood quite well, and spent her days forming cliques at school.

Suddenly had an epiphany?

After seeing his daughter's divine image with his own eyes and learning of the machine god's call, Li Zhanying was shocked for a long time.

"I'll assign you two Sky Riders later, and you'll be able to dominate the mining area," Tang Tiaotiao said proudly.

Overjoyed, Li Zhanying couldn't help but start thinking about her daughter's future plans.

After all, training a scroll artist is very expensive, and the further you go, the more expensive it becomes.

Originally, I just wanted to preserve the business my father left behind, but now it seems I need to plan for the future.

"Come on, Xiao Xianzi, eat more. Make yourself at home."

"Okay Auntie."

Wu Xian gradually got used to Li Zhanying's generosity and enthusiasm.

During their casual conversation, an older mine worker rushed in. "Miss, the newly discovered rare ore vein has been attacked by elite raiders again, and this time they are led by a fourth-tier commander."

"Again?" Li Zhanying frowned. "Why are there so many elite raiders lately?"

"Tiaotiao, you and Xiaoxianzi eat first, I'll go check on the situation."

"Take us with you, it'll be good for you to see the world," Tang Tiaotiao said enthusiastically. "Maybe we can be of help."

Although Li Zhanying hesitated for a moment, he eventually agreed to Tang Tiaotiao's request.

Then, led by Li Zhanying, they ventured deep into the mine.

After passing through a maze of mine tunnels, we arrived at a high-quality mineral vein that had just been excavated.

The miners, fully armed, fought fiercely against hordes of raider mechanical monsters, alongside several pillar-like figures.

The Raider is a biomimetic insect-like mechanical creature that resembles both a mosquito and a locust. It often appears in the mining areas of the mechanical dimension, plundering various minerals, especially rare ones.

boom! boom! boom!
With the enhancement of level seven spiritual power, the cannon in Li Zhanying's hand was extremely powerful, killing one enemy with each shot, leading the two men closer to the prospecting team.

While the Mechanical Scroll may not excel in top-tier painting skills, it is quite powerful in terms of mechanical devices and firearms.

Wu Xian controlled the four-star pillar brother to deal with some minor monsters without much pressure.

But I had a vague feeling that something was off about these raiders.

I tried examining the materials of the raiders' mechs and found that they had indeed been "modified," with the "modification" marks being particularly obvious on one of the elite raiders.

"Auntie, these robbers probably have ill intentions. Please be careful afterward," Wu Xian solemnly reminded her.

"What did Xiao Xianzi discover?" Li Zhanying asked with a serious look.

Wu Xian recounted the strange transformation of the Rat Path Street and the subsequent discovery of the [Evil God's Servant].

"Servants of an evil god?" Li Zhanying's expression turned grave. "You mean, our mining area is very likely being targeted by those evil god's minions?"

"Probably."

Li Zhanying became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it. "I heard that the No. 7 mining area of ​​the Strange Abyss has mysteriously dried up. Could it be that there is something wrong with those large mining companies?"

Upon hearing about the No. 7 mining area, Wu Xian felt secretly embarrassed, "That possibility cannot be ruled out."

　There will be two more updates later.

　　I'll try my best to maintain four updates a day during the first month after the book is released. Keep it up! Respect!
