Chapter 126 The Divine Child's Late-Night Communication, Farusan's Vigilance, Her Beloved Darling About to Be Kidnapped by a Fox

After that, Chen Bo started working.

Using the power of the divine armor, locate the Relic Guardian, instantly kill it, and then tear it apart with your bare hands, turning it into fragments of all sizes.

The fragments were then thrown into the feed trough of the giant 3D printer.

He then walked to the holographic control panel and quickly typed on the virtual keyboard with both hands.

Extremely complex 3D drawings of weapon suspension modules and encrypted communication equipment are generated in mid-air.

Confirmed.

Press Enter.

The printer operates at full speed, rapidly manufacturing tiny parts that require highly sophisticated processes.

For printing precision parts on a printer, Chen Bo decided to forge larger, less precision-required parts by hand to save time.

Chen Bo walked towards the pile of scrap metal again.

He reached out and supported it.

The clouds above the night sky suddenly began to spin, and the lightning elements in the air violently converged in this direction.

A thick column of purple lightning descended from the sky, striking the pile of scrap metal directly, followed by hundreds of bolts of lightning. The open space was transformed into a scorching furnace of lightning.

They quickly melted the pile of heat-resistant scrap iron into a ball of incandescent liquid metal.

While the Faraday cage structure does indeed reduce the internal electric field to zero, the massive current flowing through the metal can melt it, which is one of the fundamental principles of an electric furnace.

Previously, the protective layer Chen Bo passed through during thunderstorms was a one-time use layer, meant for ships, and it needed to be reinforced with extra material.

Next, we'll talk about the power of the wind.

The winds morphed into a giant hand, forcibly lifting the mass of liquid metal at a temperature of over a thousand degrees into the air.

Chen Bo loosely clenched his hands and began to stretch and shape them in mid-air.

The molten metal mass lengthened as he moved, and was forcibly emptied in the middle by his mental power, turning it into a cylindrical shape.

The bottom tapers to create the thruster slots, while the top tapers to form the shape of a fairing.

He "hand-crafted rockets" entirely by controlling the elements of the divine armor!

This thing is too big; printing it would take too long.

Within minutes, a huge cylinder, ten meters high and three meters thick, took shape in mid-air.

Airflow accelerates cooling.

The outer shell changes from white to red, and finally to a cold, dark silver.

It looks rough, but that's not a big problem. It doesn't require anything too sophisticated; you can just use force to make it fly.

Then, further fine processing of the outer shell began.

Wait until printing is complete.

Chen Bo walked over and took out the assembled core engine and control center, roughly but with exceptional precision, inserting them into the pre-reserved slots inside the rocket.

A disposable launch vehicle was thus completed.

Compared to fossil fuel rockets, elemental crystal-powered rockets can carry significantly more space.

Next, the goods to be shipped to the islands will be manufactured.

Not far away, a large woven carpet hung in the shadow of the tree canopy.

A faint blue wind element barrier swirls around the perimeter, perfectly isolating external sounds and airflow.

The group watched the entire process of Chen Bo manufacturing the carrier rocket.

Cole confirmed his suspicions; he and senior Farusan really couldn't be of much help.

That's why he goes out by himself every day and works overtime alone.

Klee, on the other hand, was extremely excited, her eyes shining: "It's huge, such a huge bomb!"

"Bigger than all my bouncy bombs combined!"

Ten meters tall is only considered a small rocket, but three stories high is already very, very tall for Klee.

Farusian was also quite shocked, thinking, "This is way too fast."

"One person, in one hour, accomplished what a team would take a month to finish?"

"Wow, that's amazing. I'm so useless; I can't help him at all."

At first, Chen Bo often consulted Farusan about various drawings, but later he communicated almost exclusively with Nasida.

The new knowledge was far beyond Farusan's area of ​​expertise, and she could no longer offer any new advice.

As a deity, Nasita learned very quickly, and the two were completely in sync.

Farusan bit her lower lip, her initial desire to go down and help join in the fun completely shattered.

There's no way I can get involved; going down there will only get in the way.

Wendy took a sip of fruit wine, shook her head, and said that she had originally planned to watch the drama unfold, but it seemed there was nothing to see.

boring.

Lord Fengshen stretched and said, "This is boring. Let him stay here all night working overtime by himself. Let's go back to sleep."

Everyone echoed their agreement.

A blue current began to gather at the bottom of the carpet, preparing to turn around and leave the area.

Meanwhile, far away at Narukami Shrine in Inazuma, the night breeze was slightly cool.

Just as she finished showering and was about to rest, the goddess suddenly remembered something was wrong.

The matter was extremely urgent, and we had to call Chen Bo in Xumi immediately.

This person's work efficiency is terrifying; the equipment might be in Xin Hai's hands before dawn.

I might wake up late tomorrow morning.

then.

this side.

As Chen Bo was working, a communication request suddenly popped up on the edge of the holographic control panel in front of him.

Nasita's voice rang in her ear: "It's Yae no Miko's video call."

"Calling me in the middle of the night, what's the matter? Can't you talk about it tomorrow morning?"

However, since the Divine Child was the main benefactor, Chen Bo chose to answer the call.

The fine interweaving of light suddenly ignited a blinding, even somewhat ambiguous, pinkish light.

A life-size holographic projection unfolded in front of Chen Bo.

Yae no Miko's captivatingly beautiful fox-like smile was clearly visible in the night.

She had clearly just finished showering.

The usual elaborate and solemn red and white shrine maiden outfit was nowhere to be seen; in its place was a rather thin and boldly cut pink silk nightgown.

Her long, soft hair was damp and draped over her fair shoulders, water droplets sliding down her delicate collarbone and disappearing into the shadows of her pajamas.

She exudes a languid charm that seeps into her very bones.

The four people above, who were about to leave, froze in unison.

Wendy immediately turned around and came back, her face full of "I'm about to get some shocking gossip."

Farusian stared intently at the blinding pink projection below. Her beautiful silk nightgown, coupled with her alluring, yet subtly seductive demeanor, blatantly betrayed her ulterior motives.

A woman's intuition is often sharper than the most sophisticated radar; right now, she feels like her own precious cabbage has been stolen.

She gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, her nails digging into the fabric.

My prized student, the finest cabbage I've carefully selected and nurtured for so long, is now being targeted by a pink-furred fox that appears out of nowhere while I'm working late at night in the middle of nowhere.

The alarm bells were ringing wildly in my head. What on earth had happened?

Cole leaned out and carefully examined the face in the light of the holographic projection; the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

"Isn't that the editor-in-chief we met at the bathhouse?" Cole asked, completely bewildered. "The editor-in-chief of Yaedo? Are they usually on good terms? They're video chatting so late."

Only Naxida knew about the deal between Chen Bo and the Divine Child.

"Oh dear, we've gotten ourselves involved in this mess." This troublemaker, who never did anything productive, moved closer to Farusan with his wine glass in hand, adding fuel to the fire in a low voice, "A lone man and a lone woman, making this kind of call in the middle of the night. Talking on the phone like this every day, their feelings are bound to grow stronger."

"Senior, your student has been kidnapped!"

Klee hugged Dudu, her big eyes darting around, her ears perked up with curiosity.

"Kidnapped? Knight Brother has been kidnapped by bad guys? Klee is going to save Knight Brother!" The little girl pretended to pull out a bouncing bomb.

Cole quickly held down Claire's little hand and comforted her repeatedly.

Farusian didn't even glance at Wendy, her gaze fixed on Yae no Miko below.

The mentor's dignity has been challenged like never before.

Look at that fox's behavior, it came looking for people with its hair still dripping wet.

Dressed like that in the middle of the night, you don't look like a decent person at all.

"Shameless." Farusan spat out the four words through gritted teeth, "It's all vixen tricks. This woman is obviously immoral."

Chen Bo was completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere that had arisen around Farusan, and continued to activate his connection with the Divine Child.

He switched to吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or sarcastic remarks): "Shin-ko, if I'm not mistaken about the time difference, it's already midnight for Inazuma. At your age, instead of getting your beauty sleep, be careful of hormonal imbalances and tail shedding."

The divine child completely ignored the vile curses about age and hair loss, and snorted confidently.

"If you take someone's money, you have to do their bidding. As your legitimate employer, isn't it perfectly reasonable for me to come and supervise the work in the middle of the night?"

Besides, I was just about to rest when I suddenly remembered something crucial that I must call you about immediately.

Before Chen Bo could ask, the Divine Child directly stated his needs.

"The surveillance equipment you're airdropping to Haizhi Island tomorrow must have an absolute restriction left at the system's core level."

Chen Bo: "What restrictions? Explain yourself. I've almost finished packaging the equipment; any new requests will incur overtime pay."

The Divine Child smiled and uttered half of his sentence: "Every floating telescope that Xin Hai obtained is prohibited from entering the airspace above Narukami Island."

Chen Bo let out a short, mocking laugh.

This is indeed a very important matter.

No wonder they communicated all night; according to the schedule, the equipment was delivered to Xin Hai before dawn.

If we wait until tomorrow, there's a chance that the Divine Child will already be under the surveillance of the Heart Sea.

Spying on my mind all day long, now I'm afraid my mind will spy back. How interesting, how truly interesting.

"My child, what goes around comes around. You're up in the middle of the night because you're worried that Miss Deep-Sea Turbot will get the cheat device and then use a floating telescope to spy on you, right?"

"This is a classic case of double standards, where officials are allowed to set fires while common people are forbidden to even light lamps. No way, I disagree."

Having her shady scheme exposed to her face, the Divine Child remained unfazed. As a powerful demon who had lived for hundreds of years, her skin was as thick as Ying Xiangshan's.

Instead of feeling embarrassed, she narrowed her long, fox-like eyes.

She used projection technology in creative ways at this moment.

The light and shadow in the space distorted, and a fluffy pink fox tail smacked Chen Bo hard on the head without any politeness.

"Please! Get your facts straight, my great inventor!"

The divine child, hands on her hips, declared righteously, "I am your rightful benefactor. That penniless modern-day human-god priestess, barely able to afford food, did she give you even a single Mora for research and development? Not a single penny! You're already working for her for free, and now you're using her to annoy me?"

"Moreover, the plan to break the deadlock of the Eye Hunt Order is at a critical stage, and that deep-sea fish is quite fond of military strategy books."

"If she uses your surveillance equipment to see the defenses inside Narukami Island, what if this girl gets carried away and attacks..."

"Come on. Otherwise, the whole plan will be thrown into chaos. I'm doing this for the greater good!"

Chen Bo rubbed the back of his head, which didn't actually hurt, and sighed deeply.

A good man doesn't argue with a fox; you can't reason with him.

He conjured a virtual keyboard out of thin air, his ten fingers leaving a trail of afterimages on it.

The underlying logic was modified, the module was recompiled, and the map boundaries were redrawn.

"Alright, alright, since you're the big spender, aren't you?" Chen Bo quickly typed out the code, setting the rules.

"Just now, I locked the positioning module of Xinhai's batch of devices through the underlying code."

"Designate the entire Narukami Island and the surrounding waters of Kujo Jinya as an absolute no-fly zone and signal jamming zone. Any equipment from the Xin Hai (心海) that approaches this line will automatically cut off the feed and be forced to return."

Are you satisfied?

Upon hearing this reply...

The shrill fox-like face of the divine child finally relaxed again.

She nodded in satisfaction, her eyes sparkling, and offered a sweet treat with a smile.

"That's more like it. You're smart to know what's good for you. Considering how hard you worked tonight, putting in all that overtime, I'll tell you something."

Good news. The royalties for the light novels you serialized at Yaedo have all been settled and received last month.

She covered her mouth and chuckled, waving her hand generously: "I, the priest, hereby grant this special approval in recognition of your international technical support. I will personally handle this royalty payment, without taking a single penny of commission. You can withdraw the money at Narukami Shrine anytime."

Chen Bo looked at the woman on the screen, who seemed to be doing good deeds, with a growing skepticism in his eyes, his eyebrows furrowing higher and higher.

You, the Divine Son, actually didn't take a cut and distributed all the royalties?

That's rare, you seem genuinely happy.

He narrowed his eyes, his logic rapidly closing in his mind, posing a soul-searching question.

"No—wait a minute."

"So, from what you're saying, if I hadn't agreed to add a backdoor to Xin Hai's equipment because of principles—you sly fox, were you just planning to find some excuse to completely embezzle my novel royalties?!"

It's not impossible.

It was originally just a tentative question.

But the divine child on the other side of the light screen clearly avoided eye contact.

She quickly turned her head away and stiffly tidied her hair, which wasn't actually messy.

"Cough—How could that be? I, the Chief, have always been the most principled in upholding contracts and the most law-abiding editor in Teyvat. Don't slander me out of thin air."

Want to cover up.

Without giving Chen Bo a chance to continue asking questions, the Divine Child disconnected the communication, leaving only one last sentence.

"I understand your concerns. I'm going to sleep now. Remember to come and collect your royalties; it's a huge sum of money!"

The communication light curtain was extinguished at the speed of light.

Chen Bo stood still and raised his middle finger at the air.

Meanwhile, in mid-air, the expressions of the onlookers on the magic flying carpet varied.

Wendy clutched her stomach, laughing so hard she almost rolled around on the blanket.

The feeling of eating melons until you're stuffed is simply wonderful.

That's really interesting.

Farusian snorted coldly, furious.

No wonder he comes home so late every night; he's been having long phone conversations with Inazuma's fox.

What's so great about foxes? I must correct myself.
