"So, you want our help, right?"
Little Eve understood what Fu Xuan meant.
I thought I was just there to listen in, but I never expected I'd have to help.
Alas, indeed, the journey of exploration is a journey of toil.
"Yes, roughly that's the idea." Fu Xuan said somewhat awkwardly.
Although the person in front of her was a little girl who was about the same height as her, she was a company director.
That scoundrel, the general, actually dumped this hot potato on me.
"I can help."
"but....."
As Eve spoke, she then extended her hand.
Fu Xuan's expression immediately tensed up.
Sure enough, they've started asking for a price. Although he's an anonymous passenger on the Starry Sky Train, he's also a company director and can't shake his businessman nature.
The Tabushi didn't have anything valuable, and it was all important equipment.
Otherwise, why not sell the Shence Mansion? The chess set in the general's possession alone could be worth a lot.
Fu Xuan's thoughts drifted far away.
"Fu Taibu, Fu Taibu?" Little Eve called out immediately when she saw that Fu Xuan was not responding.
"Ah, I'll give you the Shence Mansion. Anyway, I'm going to build a new one..." Fu Xuan immediately came to his senses.
"What are you talking about?" Little Eve asked, a puzzled look on her face.
Walter Young also looked puzzled.
"Ahem, it's nothing, it was my rudeness." Fu Xuan coughed.
State your conditions.
"Conditions? What conditions? I just want to take a look at this Qiong Guan Formation while I'm helping out," Little Eve said.
"Is that all?" Fu Xuan asked, somewhat bewildered.
That's it? This doesn't fit the image of those lousy capitalists in the company at all.
“That’s how it is. What does Fu Taibu think?” Little Eve continued to ask.
"This... as long as it doesn't interfere with the normal operation of the Qiong Guan Formation, it's fine." Fu Xuan was still a little confused.
Are you so easily dismissed, a company director?
"And what about Mr. Walter Young?" Fu Xuan looked at Walter Young beside him.
“I have no requests, but there is one thing I would like to ask of General Huaiyan,” Walter Yang said.
"Oh? Is there something you need to ask me for?" Huaiyan asked, somewhat surprised.
"I've heard that General Huaiyan is a master craftsman and a top expert in the Construction Department. I wonder if he has any expertise in mecha forging?"
"Mecha forging?" Huai Yan pondered. "This old man does indeed have some experience."
"However, I wonder what kind of mecha Mr. Walter intends to build? Is it for self-contained use, or an intelligent machine armor? Is it primarily for defense, or primarily for offense? Is it...?"
Huaiyan rattled off a whole bunch of questions, causing Walter Yang to cough a few times.
"Well, it seems that General Huaiyan has misunderstood."
"Did I misunderstand? Then please explain, Mr. Walter?" Huaiyan asked, puzzled.
He spent half his life forging iron, creating countless blades and weapons, including quite a few mechs. How could someone say he misunderstood?
"Could it be one of those large mechs?" Huaiyan seemed to have remembered something.
In his early years, when he traveled through the stars, he saw a huge mechanical armor created by the Destiny Walkers, who believed in preserving destiny and were known as the City Builders.
Could it be that Mr. Walter Young actually wanted to build that kind of thing?
"Ahem, no, it's more like this."
Walter Young somewhat embarrassedly gestured with his hands to indicate the size, roughly forty or fifty centimeters in height.
"Hmm? Mr. Walter, are you making fun of this old man?" Huaiyan asked, puzzled.
"Such a small mecha has no combat value whatsoever. In my opinion, it will only gather dust in the warehouse after it's built," Huai Yan shook his head repeatedly.
"Yes, that's it!" Walter Young exclaimed excitedly.
This is exactly what he wanted: a Gundam figure! Here it comes!!
“This…” Huaiyan was completely bewildered.
What is all this nonsense?
Why are you suddenly happy when you said you'd be gathering dust in the warehouse?
"Can General Huaiyan do it?" Walter Yang continued to ask.
"Of course, no problem. With my skills, it's a piece of cake," Huaiyan said defiantly.
"However, I must remind you one last time that something this small really has no strategic value," Huaiyan said earnestly.
“I know, General Huaiyan, just do as I say.” Walter Yang handed Huaiyan a blueprint that had been prepared beforehand.
"Well, alright, I'll give it my best." Huaiyan nodded helplessly.
Fine, since I can't persuade you otherwise, I'll just agree.
Anyway, building a mech this big isn't difficult.
"What are they talking about?" Fu Xuan asked, looking at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
"You'll get used to it," Little Eve said helplessly.
"Huh?" Fu Xuan was completely dumbfounded.
"Wait for us! Wait for us!" Suddenly, a voice came from afar.
Little Eve turned around and saw March 7th and Star.
"Phew, phew, we're exhausted." March 7th was panting heavily, while Xing was not too badly hurt.
Yes, this must be what they call extraordinary talent.
"Where did you all go?" Walter Young asked first.
"You still have the nerve to say that, Uncle Yang! You came to the Apostolic Court to jury without telling us."
"If we hadn't heard it from Qingzu, we almost wouldn't have made it!" March 7th puffed out her little face angrily.
Walter Young sighed helplessly and pointed to the cell phone that March 7th had tucked into his pocket.
"Huh? Cell phone? What's wrong?" March 7th asked, taking out his cell phone in confusion.
As soon as I opened it, I was bombarded with a barrage of messages.
"This, this is...?" March 7th swallowed hard.
“We sent you a message urging you to come back quickly,” Little Eve said from the side.
"Ah, this..." March 7th's gaze immediately drifted to the side.
Seriously, why is the signal on this Xianzhou ship so bad?
"Alright everyone, let's catch up later. The important thing now is to activate the Qiong Guan Formation," Fu Xuan said.
"How do I open it?" Xing asked, puzzled.
“There are three array bases for activating the Qiong Guan Array: the Zhou He Array, the Jie Huan Array, and the Ye Cheng Array, which are distributed in three directions respectively,” Fu Xuan explained.
"We hope you will take the time to start the process."
“Alright, then this old man will take charge of activating the Cosmic Union Array.” After Huai Yan finished speaking, he lightly stepped on the ground and flew toward the Cosmic Union Array to the side.
"Wow...this old man is amazing, he can actually fly!" March 7th exclaimed in surprise.
“Ahem, that’s General Huaiyan of the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship,” Walter Yang explained.
"Oh? This old man is also a general? That's quite unexpected." March 7th was somewhat surprised.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect them to still be in retirement at such an old age. Isn’t Xianzhou just exploiting the elderly?” Xing noticed the key point.
"This... can you please focus on something normal?" March 7th said speechlessly.
