I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 112 After a month of arduous training, the knowledge of creating gods has become profound, and the time has come to control Sumeru.

The afterglow of the badminton festival still lingers in Mondstadt, and the morning breeze by the Cider Lake carries a hint of dandelion scent.

The badminton festival will continue for a long time.

However, Chen Bo's main purpose in coming here was to improve his strength; participating in the festival was just a side trip. Therefore, it was time for him to leave.

In the evening.

Jean, the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, along with Lisa, the librarian, and Amber, were waiting early at the lakeside open space to see them off.

Before parting, Qin handed her a badge.

"Finally, it's finished before you leave. With this medal, you can ask the Knights of Mondstadt for help wherever you encounter them."

Chen Bo took the badge and carefully put it on.

Then, Lisa stepped forward, holding a rubbing of an ancient thread-bound book in her hands. The paper was yellowed and the edges showed signs of preservation treatment.

"You're welcome to visit the Mondstadt Library anytime. This basic manuscript of the Ancient Fontaine Hydrology is quite interesting; here it is for you to enjoy."

"Lisa said lazily."

"Thank you. I'll need your help to look up any information I need in the future." Chen Bo accepted the rubbing.

Although Chen Bo had already memorized all the knowledge about the creative power of the water element recorded in the book.

However, the book itself is a rather nice collectible.

Not far away, Amber held Cole's hand.

Amber explains the headwind turning technique for Windwing.

Finally, Amber warmly instructed, "Coyle, when you get back, you must practice Windwing diligently! Next time I come to find you, we'll have a race to see who can fly faster!"

"Okay!" Cole nodded vigorously. "No need to see me off. I'll fly over to see you often when I have time."

The flight from Mount Meru to Mondstadt is only a few hours at high altitude, and the flight is even automated, so it's like taking a nap in the air.

Mond really can come and go as he pleases.

Amber nodded vigorously.

The simple farewell ended, and it was time to leave.

Chen Bo took a half step back and raised his wrist to activate the portable command terminal.

Armored components flew out of the forest, the mechs were modularly assembled, and the hydraulic drive shaft closed, perfectly fitting the bodies of the three people.

Chen Bo's main control armor is the most brightly colored.

The wind element core is located at the connection point between the wings and the back, the grass element core is embedded in the chest armor core, and the lightning element core is located in the waist near the dantian.

The armor activated, and three different colored light bands flowed along the runes all over the body, merging and blending together, looking incredibly cool.

Farusan and Cole's armor is still the original design, with only a grass element core on their chests.

For them, mechs are just a means of transportation and are not frequently upgraded.

The micro-vector nozzle preheats, and the crimson plasma tail flame instantly pushes away the sand and gravel on the ground.

Finally, with a wave of his hand and the addition of Luna One, four figures rose from the ground, and a sonic boom cloud spread out in a circle of white air waves above the surface of the Fruit Wine Lake.

In the blink of an eye, all that could be seen was a red dot in the distance.

For the next whole month.

The Sumeru Academy has entered the darkest period in the history of scientific research.

Or rather, it is a unilateral technological bullying by a certain Sumeru scholar.

Core project team of the "deification project".

The laboratory was filled with the mixed smells of caffeine and burnt cables.

Six white-haired elderly scholars in charge of the energy transfer matrix were arguing endlessly around a giant engineering blueprint.

The high-voltage attenuation problem in the energy-conducting pipeline stalled them for a full two weeks. The material couldn't withstand the overload of lightning elements, and it frequently melted through.

The laboratory door was pushed open. Chen Bo walked in.

He walked up to the blueprints, his gaze sweeping over the densely packed formulas, and quickly wrote down the answer.

Picking up his pen, Chen Bo wrote three columns of equations on the blackboard next to him.

"Haven't you realized that the problem isn't with the materials, but with the rune design?"

"The topology at this location is incorrect. The rune energy will create an opposition at this node, resulting in overheating and melting. This simple modification will fix it."

Several instructors from Sumeru were utterly shocked as they looked at the modified parts of the blueprints.

As expected of a rising star in the Academy of Educational Sciences, he solved the difficulties of the entire research group right away.

In this short period of time, Chen Bo shone brightly at the Academy of Educational Sciences. After solving all the problems of his research group, he immediately applied to join the next research group.

And the reverse engineering is completed in a very short time, no more than two days, and then the next research group moves on.

Chen Bo is a well-known figure in the entire academic circle of Sumeru.

He was received by a great sage, granted permission to freely enter any research group, and appointed to lead the god-making project.

When a student becomes the leader of a mentor, many mentors are initially unconvinced.

But they were quickly impressed by Chen Bo's learning speed.

After putting down the report, Chen Bo turned around, opened the laboratory door, and headed to the next research group.

Watching Chen Bo's departing figure, one of the instructors murmured, "Even a god's learning speed is probably only this fast."

This scene repeated itself every day for the past thirty days.

Chen Bo joined the team, learned all the knowledge, completed the reverse research, published the paper, and was transferred to another position amidst the admiring gazes of scholars.

In Chen Bo's hands, the knowledge puzzle of all the projects to create a god was gradually completed.

Chen Bo not only absorbed knowledge at the Academy during the day, but also kept busy at night.

In the ancient ruins of Sumeru Wilderness.

The sound of the gears turning in the ruins was particularly jarring in the darkness.

Forty for a small hammer, eighty for a large hammer.

One by one, the ruins guards were destroyed by Chen Bo and turned into materials, which were then used to create batches of capture mechs and delivered to Dolly.

Dolly's eyes lit up. The capture mechs were always in short supply, and they sold as many as they could get. During this period, she really made a fortune.

This money is practically free.

One month later, on a clear morning.

Sumeru City, Baoshang Street.

Sunlight streamed through the massive canopy of trees, dappling the stone path. The air was filled with the aroma of spices and roasted meat.

Chen Bo sat at an outdoor table on the street, with a plate of freshly baked kebab rolls in front of him.

Faroshan sat opposite him, holding a cup of hot milk tea. After a busy month, Chen Bo and Faroshan went out shopping together to enjoy a rare moment of rest.

While eating, Chen Bo witnessed a thief on a skateboard grab a woman's handbag and run away.

The skateboarder was a stranger, and his clothes weren't typical of Sumeru; he was probably a burglar from out of town.

The victim was a female scholar from the Kshavara Academy. She didn't even move her feet; she simply and slowly activated the Void and marked the thief.

Then, he slowly walked in the direction the thief had fled, without any intention of giving chase.

The thief thought he had succeeded and had just run around the street corner.

In the shadows by the roadside, a sensor on a capture robot in standby mode glows red.

The multi-angle camera locked onto the target and instantly compared it with the character features that had just been uploaded by the system.

"Robbery detected. Property stolen confirmed. Identity confirmed. First warning. Drop the property and put your hands behind your head." A cold, electronic voice came through the speaker.

The thief ignored them completely and even quickened his pace.

"Second warning. Third warning."

The warning process takes only two seconds to complete.

The mechs immediately fired high-voltage electric shock bullets, and in rapid succession, multiple electric shock bullets hit the thief's limbs.

Electric current deprives the human body of control over its muscles.

The thief's limbs stiffened, and he fell heavily onto the stone pavement, convulsing continuously.

The female student who had been robbed calmly walked over and retrieved her stolen bag.

The surrounding onlookers were already used to it.

Farusan took a bite of her kebab and commented, "The Council of Orders has finally done something practical this time. These patrol mechs are incredibly efficient. I heard that those blockheads in Scythavaro rewrote the control algorithm and connected to the void terminal, and now the security in the entire Sumeru City is unbelievably good."

"As long as the Void Marker is used to mark the criminal activity, the capture robot will automatically complete the capture."

Farusan only knew that Chen Bo left early and returned late every day, but she did not know that all the iron lumps patrolling in Sumeru City were Chen Bo's technology, which he sold to the Order Academy.

Chen Bo took a sip of black tea and swallowed the food in his throat.

"The algorithm optimization of the Void Terminal is very good. It is coordinated by the entire Void system and is indeed a very good security supplement."

The people in the Command Council thought they had control over the mechs.

However, what they deciphered was merely the honeypot firewall that Chen Bo had deliberately left on the outside.

There are three firewalls in total, and the outermost one is left for the Council of Religious Affairs to crack.

Chen Bo has always held supreme command.

If Chen Bo wanted, a short frequency signal could make the entire security force of Sumeru City defect on the spot.

More mechs would be better, the more the better.

This month has been very fruitful.

All the technical challenges of creating the God-Making Mech have been overcome, and all theoretical data has been simulated and tested in Nasita's dream world.

The blueprints have been optimized, and Dolly has collected all the materials.

They used the profits earned by capturing the machine gunners.

A technological closed loop has been formed.

Now, all that's missing is the Heart of God.

The Heart of the Grass God is in the hands of the Order of the Instruction, and these people are busy creating gods for the scattered soldiers.

Their own capture mechs have spread to every corner of the Order of the Church; it's time to rescue Narcida.

The Heart of Thor is in the hands of the Eightfold Divine Child, but he is merely keeping it safe.

As part of the transaction, the ownership of the Heart of God has already been transferred to Chen Bo.

Two divine hearts, paired with the most perfect mechanical god's body.

Soon, I will have combat power approaching that of a god.

"Old man, old man."

Chen Bo's bracelet started vibrating.

A notification appears on the blank screen.

Officially the son of the Eightfold God.

Chen Bo put down his teacup and stood up.

"Senior, I'll be leaving for a moment to return a communication."

Farusan waved her hand and continued to deal with the food on her plate.

Chen Bo walked to a deserted alleyway on a street corner and pressed the answer button.

The image of the divine child appeared on the void screen.

The chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, who used to always like to tease people, has now even stopped using his usual professional smile.

The current divine child's eyes revealed fatigue, and his fox ears drooped listlessly.

"Great Inventor, how's your progress?" Yae no Miko spoke much faster than usual.

"Have a lot of things changed in the past month?" Chen Bo sensed the urgency in the other person's voice.

"It's outrageous, Doctor! The Doctor is experimenting on living people!" The Divine Child said gravely, "The Fools under Dottore are openly capturing refugees in the wilderness and using them for experiments."

The divine child paused and rubbed his temples.

"I asked Yumezuki to secretly intervene and destroy their three temporary camps. The situation in Inazuma is like a powder keg. The friction between the Tenryo Magistrate and Umijima is also escalating. I really need your help now."

The priestess's information network wasn't very efficient, since she only had one capable ninja under her command. She had some priestesses, but they wouldn't participate in any business outside of Narukami Island Shrine. Then there were some editors, who couldn't offer much help.

Normally, by the time she finds out about this, it will be very late, and all the evil experiments will be almost over.

The Evil Eye was also produced in large quantities.

However, thanks to the Sky Eye device provided by Chen Bo, the Divine Child already knew everything as soon as the incident occurred.

Yae no Miko stared at Chen Bo on the other side of the screen, her eyes urging him on.

"You said you needed a month to prepare, and I agreed. I haven't bothered you for a month, and now that time is up, I hope you won't tell me any bad news about the delay."

Chen Bo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Divine Child."

"The clone of the formless fire has completed its upgrade and development, increasing its strength tenfold. The technology of the divine armor has been perfected, and it will be completed tonight."

"My clone will descend upon Inazuma before sunrise tomorrow."

Yae no Miko's lips curled up: "Finally, some good news. See you tomorrow."

Communication was cut off.

Chen Bo walked out of the alley. The sunlight was still gentle.

Let's get Thor's Heart tomorrow, and Grass God's Heart today.

As for Dotole...

When I lack strength, I fear you to some extent. But once I obtain two Hearts of God, I'll kill every single one of your fragments I see.

Chen Bo returned to the barbecue stall and paid the bill.

Floursanne wipes her mouth.

"Finished the communication? Judging from your expression, you have a new topic? Are you leaving Sumeru again?" Farusan asked.

"Yes, Inazuma needs my help with something," Chen Bo replied frankly. "However, I won't leave; I can send a clone to handle it."

Isn't this exactly what you use for creating clones?

Farusian nodded in satisfaction: "Having a clone is so convenient."

As long as Chen Bo doesn't leave home, that's fine.

Otherwise, I'd be quite worried.

On Chen Bo's virtual screen, Nasita's face popped up, carrying a hint of barely perceptible anticipation.

"Are you going to Inazuma to retrieve Thor's Heart?"

"Yes, we had the Heart of God before, but we didn't know how to use it. Now the time is ripe, and we should go and get the Heart of God." Chen Bo nodded.

"Well—if possible, could you lend it to me for a bit after I get it?" Nasita's voice was very soft.

"If I have the power of two God's Hearts, I think I should be able to decipher the message left by the Great Tree King."

"Of course, no problem," Chen Bo agreed readily, "but not now."

Naxi Da's small face showed a hint of confusion.

Chen Bo said, "Trust me, Naxida, I won't harm you. It's not the right time yet."

"I still need to make some preparations to decipher the message left by the Great Tree King, but I won't keep you waiting too long, at most a month. Let's prepare for the Flower Goddess's birthday festival first."

"I will bring back Thor's Heart on your birthday."

The preparation involves the external differential machine of the World Tree, and the relevant knowledge requires 30,000 points.

Chen Bo doesn't have enough points yet.

Only with this can the consciousness of the Great Tree King be protected from being deleted.
