Chapter 130: Chapter 99: A Fresh Start

Next, we need to wait for daylight. Although among those planning to go to the Weapon House, only ALulu is still sound asleep, it’s pointless to go early as the Weapon House isn’t open yet.

Zoe and Dorothy are sitting on Li Ang’s bed. When asked why they were talking in the hallway, both were vague and evasive.

After sitting for a while, they seemed half-asleep, drowsy, but refused to return to their room when prompted.

Li Ang sat by the desk looking for something to do.

The design of the team’s Flying Airship wasn’t finished yet, and he was contemplating the functional needs and how to modify and enhance the original hull in the future, constantly adding and deleting content on the blueprint.

After completing a rough sketch, he stretched and stood up, meeting eyes with Andasu’s light golden gaze.

She was curled up on the chair, hugging her knees, watching Li Ang write and draw on the board.

She looked as if she had something to say, so Li Ang waited. She pretended to look around casually, and when she looked back at Li Ang, she found him still looking at her, making her a bit shy.

“…What kind of ship is that?”

Her voice originally had a youthful tone, which was why she was previously mistaken for a handsome young male. However, when her mood was more melancholy, her voice became soft and husky, with a unique charm.

“It’s the team’s Flying Airship we’re planning to build.”

“It’s so large, can the materials support it?”

“In a place called Mengze Island, there’s wood produced there that’s incredibly tough, capable of supporting any size hull.”

“What engine can propel such a large ship?”

“Initially, we planned to use a conventional internal combustion engine with an auxiliary Magic Array, then later replace it with a High-tier Magic Furnace.”

“What is the complex structure you’ve left on the surface of the ship for?”

“It’ll be used for material reinforcement and to support new structures during later enhancements and expansions.”

“Can I see these design plans?”

As White Wolf continued talking, she gradually forgot about being ’imprisoned,’ wanting to take a look at the design blueprints.

Handing over the blueprints along with the drawing board, the short-haired girl looked them over with great interest, muttering to herself.

“…So it can be laid out like this, making the overall design clear at a glance.”

“…The master also uses such diagonals when designing; I’ve been doing it right.”

“…Drawing it this way is both concise and comprehensive.”

Finally, Andasu respectfully handed back the board, saying, “I never thought a Weapon Master could also be a shipbuilding master, truly impressive.”

“My name is Li Ang, you can just call me by my name.”

“Andasu Umore, that’s my full name.”

The young girl paused: “I’m more used to being called An.”

Li Ang nodded to her.

Andasu pondered: “Li Ang… you don’t seem that much older, why do you know so much and have such high capabilities?”

“Well, one certainly has to work hard, but the environment is also key. Finding a place suitable for your studies and talents can yield twice the result with half the effort.”

Li Ang spoke from the heart. He had seen many people practicing their Professional Skills who got stuck in a rut, rigidly training the same way in the same environment without making any progress.

When they finally changed their setting and broadened their perspectives, their development skyrocketed.

As for mastering professional knowledge through the system’s functions, don’t overthink it… after all, the system is something you gain through personal accumulation.

“It seems there truly is a lot of knowledge outside that I don’t understand.”

Having witnessed Li Ang’s Flying Airship design plans, Andasu seemed to gain some agreement with Li Ang’s mention of the ’outside world’s wonders.’

“How did you learn all this knowledge?”

Li Ang had earlier noticed Andasu had a Level 3 Mechanical Engineer profession, which is a relatively rare profession that only specialized Mechanicians can practice. Harnessing combat power is not easy and relies heavily on talent and mechanical thinking.

“Due to the Platinum Racing Competition, many Mechanicians come to the Flashing Field. I discovered from a young age that I could understand what they were doing, so I gradually learned to modify Flying Airships myself.”

To self-learn to a Level 3 Mechanical Engineer? That kind of talent is extraordinary.

As Li Ang marveled, Andasu asked again: “Are there many people like you outside?”

“There are quite a few, I suppose.”

Li Ang showed her his Grand Knight’s Medal, telling her that it was only possessed by Sky Knights ranked between 100 and 2000 in the Guild performances.

“Even the Flashing Field has more people than that.”

Andasu looked at the medal: “Where would Fukate be ranked?”

“If he wanted to, he could be a High-tier Knight ranked between 2000 and 50000 without much difficulty, but it seems he’s put his time and energy elsewhere.”

The young girl lowered her head, falling into silence.

Seeing that she no longer had the desire to converse, Li Ang turned around to find that Dorothy and Zoe were already awake. One was leaning against the headboard, and the other was lying on the bed, both looking at him.

Their gaze reminded him of when he used to keep cats on Earth; when he petted one, the others would look over with similar eyes.

“Everyone’s awake, huh? Then it’s about time to wake up ALulu.”

When ALulu opened the door, her pink hair was a fluffy mess, and her eyes were squinty with sleep.

“Hmm, is it time?”

She squinted at the three people at the door, only to realize there was a fourth person.

The horned young girl was shocked: “Y-you’re going to steal my money again?!”

“Sorry,” Andasu pursed her lips.

“Rest assured, that won’t happen,” Li Ang smiled at her and said, “Let’s go.”

After a simple breakfast, Zoe dragged the reluctant ALulu away from the table, and the group arrived at the Weapon House.

The Weapon House was bustling early in the morning, probably due to the approaching Combat Skill, with many people coming to purchase equipment, lending an unusual liveliness to the usually quiet black market.
