I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 125 The Jealous Yae no Kami, the Heart Sea Soaring with Joy, and Wendy Playing Around.

As Chen Bo gestured, a dense metal mesh quickly formed around the wooden merchant ship in the 3D projection, completely enveloping the entire hull.

"This is called a mobile insulating fortress. To install a Faraday cage on a merchant ship, all you need is a continuous metal mesh covering the hull, with the mesh extending into the sea."

"When lightning strikes from outside, the high-voltage current will flow directly into the surrounding seawater through the metal structure. The electric field strength inside is always zero, so a person sitting inside won't even have a single hair stand up."

"If we modify the merchant ships in this way, the cost of shipbuilding will increase by 10%, but the cost is completely acceptable. I will personally help with the construction in Sumeru. In about half a month, we will be able to see Sumeru's merchant ships arriving at Haizhi Island."

Xin Hai asked doubtfully, "It's just a layer of metal mesh, is that really okay?"

Chen Bo nodded affirmatively: "Of course, I've crossed thunderstorms countless times, always using this method. I'm too lazy to look for weak points in thunderstorms."

Xin Hai was completely stunned. Was this the power of knowledge?

A simple metal mesh can be used to cross a thunderstorm zone.

Standing to the side, Yae no Miko watched with satisfaction as her mind went blank, and said lazily, "Do you understand now? The problem of food can be solved with business methods. Hurry up and put away that war plan of yours that's just sending you to your death. Isn't it better to earn Mora peacefully? Why do you have to go and fight?"

"Furthermore, I'm not afraid to tell you that we also have a plan that can be implemented regarding the Eye Hunt Order, and your recruitment plan will not succeed."

Xin Hai gave a bitter laugh, but at least half of the weight on his heart had been lifted.

Seeing that Xin Hai's expression had relaxed, the Divine Child had no intention of letting her off the hook. Her alluring fox-like eyes narrowed slightly: "Miss Deep-Sea Tongue Turbot, the crisis is not completely over. You'd better control your brain and carefully review the situation."

"That simple-minded, stupid dog Goro, who only knows how to wag his tail, could actually come up with a political scheme like using the Eye Hunting Order as a pretext to gather the owners of the Eyes of God and then massively expand his army?"

These seemingly casual words struck my heart like a hammer blow to the temple, and a cold sweat trickled down my spine, soaking my undershirt.

Shinkai recalled the details of the past two weeks. There was indeed a problem in the military camp; it seemed that someone was wandering around inciting hatred and trying to push Umijima to declare war on the shogunate.

The divine child lazily added, "Your island of Kaiju has quite a few spies from the Fool Clan. They're secretly plotting, with the sole purpose of instigating a civil war and using your lives to weaken the Shogunate army."

"In the eyes of the masterminds of the Fools, you are not even qualified to be opponents. At best, you are just experimental guinea pigs in their eyes. By the way, let me tell you, the seclusion edict and the shogunate's blockade of Umijima were also orchestrated by the Fools."

The sense of crisis was like a persistent boil, and Xin Hai wearily closed his eyes, his fingers rubbing his throbbing brow.

Sigh, governing a country is really difficult.

"Lord Kyoto is right to reprimand me." Shinkai readily admitted his oversight: "Haizhi Island has been facing one predicament after another. Just thinking about the issue of its survival has taken up all my energy. I really didn't notice the abnormality inside Haizhi Island."

Then, Xin Hai's gaze fell on the holographic projection screen that the Divine Child used for communication, and he made no attempt to hide the envy in his eyes.

"If Haizhi Island also possessed the same equipment as Master Ji, capable of long-distance communication and even encrypted eavesdropping, the troublesome task of identifying undercover agents would be countless times simpler. Unfortunately, we don't have this technology."

Upon hearing this exclamation, the Divine Child did not respond. Instead, he slowly turned his head and shifted his gaze to Chen Bo on the other side of the light screen.

She didn't say a word, but her eyes, which seemed to be smiling but weren't, clearly conveyed the meaning: "You know what I mean."

They extorted money with complete confidence, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

Chen Bo rubbed his face in pain and let out a long sigh: "My main body was originally planning to rest a bit, but it looks like I'll have to work overtime again tonight. As for the Heart Sea, I'll make it tonight and airdrop it to you tomorrow. I can't take this anymore, it's all a losing proposition."

"However, Shinkai, I hope you can only use this equipment yourself and not tell anyone on Sea Island. I don't want to face the Fools so soon. My main body is going to Fontaine for a vacation and to study the Primal Fetal Sea Water. I hope Inazuma can calm down."

Seeing that the extortion had succeeded, the divine child laughed triumphantly.

She turned to Xin Hai with a self-satisfied air, her tone full of teasing: "Oh dear, Miss Deep Sea Tongue Turbot, you owe me a huge favor again today. You know, this great inventor from Sumeru in the light screen was someone I spent a fortune to invite out of seclusion. Without me, your Haiqi Island would really be doomed this time."

Chen Bo rolled his eyes as he listened. A lot of money? Not a single Mora.

However, a single Heart of God can be used almost as an inexhaustible source of energy for the time being, and cannot be measured in Mora.

He angrily and loudly refuted her: "Yae no Miko! This is a favor I'm doing for you, don't make me seem like a cheap tool that's at your beck and call. I'm sending equipment to Haizhi Island because I can't bear to see civilians starve to death. This is my private technical support for Haizhi Island."

The goddess wasn't annoyed, after all, she was the one who called Chen Bo over.

If Xin Hai wasn't stupid, he would know that he owed two great favors.

In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to exploit them.

Chen Bo ignored the cunning fox and turned his attention back to Xin Hai.

"Haizhi Island is a mess right now, everything needs to be rebuilt. I'm giving you a free personal mechanical assistant as a bonus. Consider it a beginner's gift."

Chen Bo drew an interface in mid-air and brought up Naxida's virtual avatar.

"This is an intelligent machine I developed myself, codenamed Moon II."

Chen Bo began to explain the functions of Lunar II in detail: "It is equipped with the most advanced intelligent modules. Hand it over the inventory of supplies coming in and out of your regiment on Haizhi Island, and it can sort it out clearly in a few seconds."

"As for your headache of catching the mole, you can also leave that to Luna 2 to help you review the surveillance video."

"Finally, it has the ability to access the Sumeru Void Knowledge Base. Of course, not all information can be accessed, but regular information can still be answered. For example, you can consult all the books on military strategy accumulated in Sumeru."

"Furthermore, Moon 2 also possesses formidable combat capabilities, with a highly compressed element engine inside, making it capable of easily overwhelming ordinary users of the Eye of God."

A series of powerful functions were announced, leaving not only Xin Hai dumbfounded, but even Shen Zi, who had been watching the show, couldn't sit still.

Accounting, catching moles, researching information, and fighting?

The goddess raised her long eyebrows and tapped her small hand on the edge of the table, making a crisp sound.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" the Divine Child protested, pointing her finger at Chen Bo through the light screen. "Isn't someone being incredibly biased? Why does that deep-sea fish get a dedicated all-around assistant, while I, Miyaji, don't? I want one of these amazing things too!"

"What's most infuriating are those authors who are late with their work; the constant reminders are driving me crazy. I desperately need a cute assistant who can handle accounts, fight, and even go out with a knife to chase up their work!"

This competitive attitude of "if others have new toys, I must have them too" made Chen Bo chuckle.

When this high-ranking palace chief gets jealous, he becomes a completely unreasonable rogue.

Xin Hai, standing nearby, was overjoyed. Now, the crisis on Hai Zhi Island could finally be overcome.

The anxiety-inducing event vanished instantly, and my mind felt instantly filled with energy.

However, Chen Bo did not refuse Shenzi. Chen Bo brought three Moon Series TVs, originally intended for Xin Hai and Shenzi, one for each.

It's not that Nasita herself serves them; the Moon series is inherently quite intelligent. However, Nasita occasionally logs in on her account for fun.

the other side.

Sumeru, the home of Falushan.

The living room was lit by an orange ceiling light, and everyone sat together happily.

The house in Farusan's is quite large, with enough rooms to accommodate guests.

Farussan emerged from the kitchen carrying a wooden tray filled with sliced ​​sunset fruit, its flesh a vibrant orange-yellow and juicy. She placed the tray on the coffee table and gestured for everyone to join her.

"Come and have a taste. I bought it on a whim this afternoon when I passed by the Grand Bazaar. The owner said it was freshly picked from the tree today."

Wendy sat cross-legged on the fabric sofa, holding a small ceramic teacup in her hand.

He leaned over, picked up a wooden skewer, pierced a piece of fruit, threw it into his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and then squinted his eyes in satisfaction, looking incredibly content.

This idle and unproductive wind god began to dart his gaze around the spacious and elegant house.

From the hand-woven carpet to the classic paintings on the wall, the gaze finally settles on Farussan's face.

"Senior Falusan, this house is in an excellent location," Wendy drawled, her tone carrying a hidden meaning. "Is it just you and Anil living here usually?"

A blush quickly spread across Farusan's fair face.

"Yes, it's usually just the two of us living together. But I'm doing this out of a sense of responsibility as a mentor, to provide some living support for this troublesome student. His own little house is too small to fit much experimental equipment, which is a shame. Ever since he moved here, this kid has been staying out all night and coming home very late."

Wendy feigned sudden realization: "Oh—I see. Having such a beautiful young tutor at home, yet he stays out all night every day."

Cole added quietly, "It's clearly because he's lonely that he insisted we stay here. Besides, he usually goes home very late anyway."

"Knight, you're bad!" Klee raised her hands, clenching them into small fists. "The big brother who sings for money is right. Staying out all night is bad behavior. In Mondstadt, if Klee doesn't come home at night, Jean will arrest her and lock her in solitary confinement! Knight, you'll be solitary confinement too!"

Ke Lai sat to the side and whispered in defense of Chen Bo: "He must be busy with very important research. Every now and then, he can always come up with new equipment that is truly impressive."

As they were talking, the doorknob on the side of the room was turned from the inside.

Chen Bo came out of his room. He was wearing a loose hooded jacket and durable work pants, looking quite casual at home.

After finishing his work in the afternoon, Chen Bo rejoined the group.

Normally, Chen Bo is not at home during the first half of the night.

Hearing people outside gossiping about him, Chen Bo rolled his eyes and couldn't help but complain bitterly.

"More than anyone else, I want to lie in bed and sleep soundly for a while, and get some rest." Chen Bo walked to the single sofa and sank into the soft cushions. "Last month, several project teams worked non-stop, and we finally managed to finish several major projects."

"I was just about to go to Fontainebleau for a trip, to see the play performed by the Water God, and to get some samples of the primordial water of the womb for research. Guess what? Just as I came out, another job came up."

"Urgent mission."

Yes, it's an urgent task from Xin Hai.

I took care of it for her right away, so she could relax and enjoy her vacation without worrying about Inazuma's affairs.

He took a pair of thick-soled outdoor boots from the shoe cabinet and put them on.

"Everyone, I'm sorry I can't entertain you tonight. I have to work through the night and won't be back until tomorrow morning. Don't wait up for me, get some rest."

He opened the door.

The night wind from Sumeru City rushed in.

The door slammed shut behind Chen Bo.

Only a few women and a deity who loved watching the drama unfold remained in the room.

Wendy's lips curled up as she thought of a great idea and immediately prepared to share it with everyone.

"He's out working overtime in the middle of the night, and he's even working on something big all night. Do you guys want to know what he's secretly tinkering with outside?"

"I'm not going." Farusan turned her face away and reached for the fruit plate. "It would be too disgraceful for a senior like me, over a hundred years old, to follow a junior late at night.

She said she wouldn't go, but her eyes kept glancing towards the front door.

It's obviously out of curiosity, it's obvious they want to go.

Ke Lai raised his left hand with some difficulty, a metallic bracelet fastened to his wrist.

"Tracking won't work. The communication bracelet he invented, and our mechs, both have location tracking capabilities. Tracking won't work; he'll definitely find out."

"Then let's take the bracelet off!" Klee jumped off the sofa with her Dodo in her hand. "Klee loves playing hide-and-seek the most."

If it were hide-and-seek, Klee would never lose.

"Big brother who's busking, shall we play hide-and-seek with Brother Knight?"

Amber grabbed Klee's little hand and dissuaded her, "There are many monsters in the rainforest at night, it's too dangerous. Let's be good and stay here."

Wendy snapped her fingers and pulled out a rug from somewhere, spreading it out on the floor with a whoosh.

"We can sneak up on him even without using his flying gear. It's a magic flying carpet!" We can ride on it and fly, and the carpet even has the ability to conceal our presence.

Of course, there are no magical items; it's just an ordinary blanket.

Flying is simple; it's just the power of the wind god lifting you up.

Cole whispered, "Why do we need to follow him? Even if we just asked him directly, he would tell us, wouldn't he?"

"I feel that Anil just doesn't want Senior Farusan to do hard work with him, which is why he doesn't take us to his lab."

Wendy nodded: "Yes, in that case, it wouldn't be offensive for us to follow them, would it?"

"Come on, get on the flying carpet."

Faroshan was still very curious about what Chen Bo did every night.

Klee was among the first to ride the flying carpet.

Cole and Amber were in the second wave.

Wendy sat at the front as the driver.

"Hold on tight, get ready for takeoff."

The carpet carried the five people off the balcony and into the night sky, following the elemental traces left by Chen Bo, flying deep into the rainforest.

In the rainforest, there is a relatively large clearing.

As soon as Chen Bo landed, Nasita's little face popped up on the view panel.

"Chen Bo, an unidentified flying object has entered the restricted area. The surveillance has identified it. It's the wind god Barbatos with Farusan and the others. Yes, everyone is here."

A new window popped up next to Nasita's small face, showing the five people who had secretly followed her and were hiding in the treetops.

Chen Bo's workplace naturally has floating telescopes monitoring the area from high altitude.

The floating telescope is suspended at an altitude of 3,000 meters, while the magic carpet that Wendy is using to fly everyone is only a few dozen meters high.

Therefore, Wendy was unaware that she had been photographed.

Ke Lai's guess was correct; the reason Chen Bo didn't ask Farusan for help was that she couldn't be of much assistance.

It would be better to let the elders stay home and read a novel.

Currently, only the God of Wisdom can keep up with Chen Bo's pace of revising the blueprints. As for materials, they are easily defeated by the Guardians of the Ruins.

Obtaining the materials doesn't take much time.

Chen Bo replied to Naxida, "Let them peek if they want to, don't worry about it."

"There weren't any secrets we were hiding from everyone."

It's basically about disassembling parts, modifying blueprints, and printing.

What's the point of hiding this? Besides, it's so late, the goddess isn't going to call.

Meanwhile, after hanging up the communication, the Divine Child felt that something was wrong, but she hadn't figured it out yet.
