Chapter 184 Curiosity Kills the Cat
Not to mention what happened to Tang San, Mu Zhe in Xingluo City on the other side of the continent was troubled by some trivial matters.
The success of Rune Engine No. 1 unit made him happy for a while. With his own knowledge and the help of Wei Dao, he was able to train students who could rub engines by hand in just three quarters. It was a miracle.
Although these students are extremely talented and have their own material support and technical guidance, it is undeniable that our education system can indeed produce talents in batches. This internal beta version system can be improved on a small scale with a few more versions. Open beta now.
However, the news of the engine's success was spread intentionally or unintentionally by students' discussions, and it caused a huge reaction.
The excited Dynamics Club students celebrated the successful operation in the hotel and imagined where the machine would be used in the future.
"I think this can drive a waterwheel. Wasn't it connected to a waterwheel before? As long as this is combined with the canal, a large area of land by the river can be turned into irrigated land!"
A rough-looking boy said, he is a child from the countryside.
"Yes, yes, yes! Also, didn't their previous textile group plan to develop a hydraulic textile machine? I don't think so, just use our rune engine in one step!"
Another rather delicate child said that he had been paying attention to information about textiles, which might be related to the fact that he had a weapon soul related to textiles.
"Also, there's that carriage that doesn't use soul beasts that Master mentioned. No, we have to wait until our engine is smaller."
A child who came from a groom's family happily thought about a future where he would no longer have to deal with those delicate spirit beasts.
"By the way, isn't Gengxin City a city of metal? Isn't our engine-driven forging hammer also a great tool!"
The girl whose martial soul is a hammer forger said thoughtfully, the output of this engine is much greater than that of a soul master, and many of her ideas may be realized through this machine.
The excited words of the students spread in the hotel, and some undercurrents began to surge under the calm city.
Mu Zhe was a little troubled after hearing these things. He naturally knew what the consequences would be. To him at this time, these things were just trivial matters.
But Mu Zhe worries that these students will lose their enterprising spirit in the coming storm.
In the shadow of the city, a group of old people and young people who were unwilling to fall into the mortal world gathered here.
In the dark huge wine cellar, these old nobles used the light of the soul guide lamp to carefully read the information just sent by the informant.
They hid their figures in the shadows, and none of them wore the biological bracelets that were popular across the continent.
"Haha! The Little Reincarnation Academy is really arrogant and exposed such a big deal. It's time for them to suffer."
A fat man laughed. His luxurious clothes and accessories highlighted his extraordinary status.
"How is it possible that no one in this continent has invented these things for so many years? Without exception, they were struck down by reality."
The man smacked his mustache and said disdainfully.
"Reality, you are right. The biggest reality on this continent is that soul masters are respected and strength is respected! Once this rune engine comes out, it will affect the jobs of many soul masters. By then..."
A figure hidden in the dark expressed his judgment, but was interrupted by a loud shout.
"No need until then, now!"
A tall figure slapped the table hard, causing the lamp on the table to jump with such force.
"Wait, aren't you afraid of their wife?"
At this time, a man with a trembling voice asked carefully
"That Mu Zhe keeps saying that he is for the common people and for everyone. Then I want to see if this master values his students or those damn mud-legged people!"
The tall figure said sarcastically that in his opinion, Mu Zhe was either a womanly person or a hypocrite, but it didn't matter. After this time, everyone would see through his ugly face.
"You're a bit extreme. I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."
The man with a trembling voice stood up and left, but felt a cold wind behind him.
"Want to leave?"
There was just a puff, and the man who stood up to leave was hit by a fierce attack that penetrated his chest.
"Who else wants to quit now?"
The tall figure wiped away the blood and threw the towel to the ground.
"That's not what I want. We have lost everything after the war, titles, fiefs, armies, and even those servants! We have nothing left."
"When the tentacles of the Small Reincarnation Academy expand to every corner, there will no longer be room for us in the world!"
The tall man stated his interests to everyone. For these people, it would be better to kill them than to be thrown into the mortal world.
Everyone looked calm and agreed with the leader's statement. They were all connected by the same fate.
At this time, these people decided to unite to deal with Xiao Samsara Academy and Mu Zhe. Use your own power and resources to give Mu Zhe a big surprise.
The dim light inside the wine cellar gradually extinguished, and shadows dispersed into the dark streets.
But none of these guys noticed that there was a pretty figure crawling on the roof, the tight black leather jacket, and the tight and powerful calves all reflected her identity.
In this slum, no one would notice that there was such a huge wine cellar under this shabby house, and no one had the ability to sense the fluctuation of soul power. Masters don't live in slums.
So when the tall figure activated his soul power to kill the "traitor" with a weak will, he did not conceal the fluctuation of soul power.
But who would have thought that there would be a soul master who would condescend to be a courier and come to this slum to deliver food?
Zhu Zhuqing waited for those people to disperse, and then approached the shabby house on tiptoe.
A faint smell of blood rushed into the cat's nose. She activated her martial soul, and the cat's tail and hair appeared instantly. As the martial soul came online, Zhu Zhuqing's perception was also amplified.
She keenly perceived the hidden mechanisms and traps in the house. Curiosity defeated the caution that should have been there. Zhu Zhuqing carefully avoided them and quietly entered the house.
The smell came from under the water tank next to the stove in the shabby house. Zhu Zhuqing activated the third soul ring and escaped into the shadow world.
The originally sophisticated and hidden mechanism was as clear as a candle in the shadow world.
Zhu Zhuqing did not choose to touch the mechanism but followed the gap in the shadow world through the mechanism door under the water tank and came directly to the underground wine cellar.
The strong smell of blood stimulated Zhu Zhuqing's nasal cavity, and her delicate nose could not help but wrinkled.
Following the smell, Zhu Zhuqing found the man lying in a pool of blood.
To her surprise, she actually knew this person. The murdered person was a businessman who had business dealings with the Zhu family. Why did he die here?
Zhu Zhuqing did not dare to delay and quickly submitted the information here through the bracelet. The rest of the matter would be left to those professionals.
As a little cat, I should honestly deliver the takeaway that has not expired. Things here are not suitable for little cats to get involved.
Zhu Zhuqing escaped into the shadow world again, followed the cracks through the thick stone walls and soil and returned to the outside of the broken house. She looked around to determine the direction and ran towards the takeaway destination.
Zhu Zhuqing herself did not realize that when she entered the wine cellar, a tracking mark had been left on the sole of her shoe.
