Chapter 65: Chapter 63: Challenging

While that might be true, Gongsun Ying still attempted to infuse some divine energy into it afterward.

There wasn’t exactly no response, but even after infusing so much divine energy, only a faint blue emerged at the bottom.

The Divine Machine crafted by the Emperor’s Armor of the Divine Martial Great Emperor.

The divine energy required to activate it is vast.

After some research, Gongsun Yue concluded that even for Gongsun Ying, it might take nearly a year to activate it.

And throughout this year, all daily divine energy must be dedicated to this Divine Machine, “Wan Xiang”.

Subsequently, everyone gathered.

Shen Hongshan found some usable Divine Machines atop the Divine Strategy Tower.

Among them, the most important is the Mother-Child Sound Transmission Box.

The exterior is a palm-sized box, divided into mother and child components.

There is one mother box and ten child boxes.

It can transmit sound over a range of about a hundred kilometers.

In case they need to act separately, this device would be of great help.

Afterward, they planned to stay inside the Divine Strategy Tower for another two days.

The main reason is to replace Gongsun Ying’s Blood and Flesh Armor Body.

Temporarily, only Gongsun Yue seems capable of doing this, as the replacement process requires extremely high control over divine energy.

And Gongsun Yue has quite an advantage in this area.

But her divine energy is limited, and it would take quite a long time to complete the replacement.

Lin Qianxuan suddenly recalled the [Wisdom] Sound Talisman he obtained from Gongsun Yue before.

The effect of this Sound Talisman seems to enhance one’s control over divine energy.

Taking advantage of Gongsun Yue’s rest period for divine energy recovery, he had the game character seek out Gongsun Yue.

[Lin Qianxuan (looking at Gongsun Yue): Miss Yue, I think my control over divine energy is decent too. I wonder if you could teach me, let me try.]

[Gongsun Yue (slightly hesitant): Sir, this… very well, try first by drawing this pattern with divine energy….]

Then, Gongsun Yue began testing the game character’s divine energy control proficiency.

Without exception, the game character succeeded easily.

At this point, she no longer held a tentative mindset and genuinely began teaching the game character the key to the Blood and Flesh Armor Body.

The core of installing the Blood and Flesh Armor Body is to use the Adhesive Technique to precisely find the meridians, blood, and flesh and so on, that connect the Divine Strategy Limbs to the original limbs. These are minutely fine, requiring exceptionally strong control power and perception.

That’s why only Gongsun Yue could operate it before.

Now that the game character can handle it, Gongsun Yue isn’t as burdened.

Immediately, under Gongsun Yue’s guidance, Lin Qianxuan also mastered the installation technique of the Blood and Flesh Armor Body.

Once he mastered it, it meant the game character mastered it too.

He then had the game character take over from Gongsun Yue to help Gongsun Ying install the Blood and Flesh Armor Body.

[Gongsun Ying (smiling): Mr. Lin, you don’t need to be nervous, just let go and do it, it’s alright if you fail.]

Gongsun Ying’s affection for the game character has surpassed seventy percent, akin to lovers in love.

Thus, she very much trusted the game character to help.

[Lin Qianxuan (nodding): Miss Ying, rest assured, I will do my best.]

(For Gongsun Ying, connecting the Blood and Flesh Armor Body.)

The command was issued, the game screen changed, and the game character carefully aligned the human-like limbs with Gongsun Ying’s severed parts, gently reopening her healed flesh, slowly reconnecting the nerves with the Blood and Flesh Armor Body limbs.

During this process, Gongsun Ying had to endure some pain, but her expression remained calm, evidently not bothered by this level of pain, or perhaps it wasn’t enough to make her show pain in her expression.

She could endure such pain without a word, yet when Bursting Qi opened, her expression was filled with immense ferocity.

Lin Qianxuan hesitated slightly.

If he followed the strategy, he would’ve had Gongsun Ying open Bursting Qi to its full extent, and then while she was weak, farm affection points.

Even though he could’ve directly gotten through, he still made her endure extra pain…

He felt a bit reluctant, yet slightly helpless.

Amid his dilemma, in the game screen, the game character had completed the connection of all four limbs for Gongsun Ying, with the wounds directly healed; now her limbs looked almost indistinguishable from the original ones, unless one peeled off the synthetic skin to see the metal structure beneath.

[Gongsun Yue (astonished): Sir, did you finish so quickly?]

Gongsun Yue’s astonishment wasn’t that the game character could do it, but how much divine energy he had within him.

Even though the game character had just started cultivating divine energy, both the refinement and amount of his divine energy were astonishingly high.

[Gongsun Ying (carefully sensing, gently clenching her fist): It seems I can feel them again.]

The hands and feet previously used by Gongsun Ying could only be infused with divine energy for operation, but had no perception; now, the Blood and Flesh Armor Body was no different from the actual body.

Except for some slight modification traces on her body, there’s no difference between her and regular people from the outside.

[Gongsun Yue (stepping forward to inspect): Sister, the young lord’s skills are proficient. The Qi and blood have started to flow through your hands and feet. Sister, you can try standing up and walk around, to make the Qi and blood circulate faster.]

Gongsun Ying stood up, moving slightly, increasing the circulation speed of her Qi and blood. Her mastery became more adept, her movements faster, almost indistinguishable in action and stillness from a normal body, even becoming more fluent.

[Gongsun Ying (delighted): Much better than before, a lot better.]

[You have skillfully reconnected Gongsun Ying’s Blood and Flesh Armor Body with your delicate hands, allowing her to regain sensation in her hands and feet, for which she is very grateful.]

[Gongsun Ying’s current connection rate is 92%.]

With this, the affection rate nearly maxed out.

Although Gongsun Ying always seemed emotionless about the limb replacement on the surface, it’s evident she bore tremendous pressure.

Just for survival, she had to suppress all those emotions, not letting them erupt.

Seeing the smile on Gongsun Ying’s face, Gongsun Yue also smiled.

[Your assistance has made Gongsun Yue very appreciative.]

[Gongsun Yue current connection rate: 50%]

Gongsun Yue also leapt to fifty percent; just ten percent more and she could obtain her second Sound Talisman.

Lin Qianxuan seemed to gain some understanding.

His comprehension of Gongsun Yue deepened once more.

She didn’t just like someone who could help the Rebel Army, a brave warrior.

To be precise, what she yearned for was someone who could shoulder burdens for her sister, someone who could protect her sister.

Her own abilities were limited, forcing her to continually stand behind her sister, seeking protection. Watching her sister sacrifice repeatedly to protect her, resentment towards her own incapability began to sprout in her heart, driving her to work hard while hoping for someone to help her sister bear the pressure.

So, by helping Gongsun Ying, Gongsun Yue’s favorability would also increase somewhat.

Lin Qianxuan pondered; if that’s the case, he only needed to focus on Gongsun Ying in the early stage to naturally gain Gongsun Yue’s favor.

There was no need to worry too much; the younger sister would naturally strategize for herself.

After a brief plan, Lin Qianxuan began to continue pushing the plot forward.

Inside the Divine Strategy Tower, a fully armed Rebel Army equipped with Armor Bodies stepped onto the Flying Ship, preparing to head to Kyoto.

Both the game character and Gongsun Ying were even clad in a set of Armor Bodies.

This Armor Body did not provide actual enhancement to both the game character and Gongsun Ying.

The Armor Body material was fragile, inferior to the Blood and Flesh Armor Body, and far less than the game character’s Dragon Body.

The Flying Ship’s indigo-colored Sun Core was activated and then slowly ascended into the air, flying towards Kyoto.

On the deck, Gongsun Ying was still attempting to activate [Manifestation].

Lin Qianxuan let the game character comfort her a bit.

[Lin Qianxuan: Ying, perhaps we could attempt to seal the Eye of Turbid Qi first, before considering activation.]

[Gongsun Ying (biting her lip): Lin, there’s actually something I’ve always wanted to tell you.]

[Lin Qianxuan (puzzled): What is it?]

[Gongsun Ying (looking at you): Yue’Er and the others have already calculated that at most two months remain before Turbid Qi envelops the entire world, including the location of Zhang City.]

Lin Qianxuan’s expression slightly changed.

This was indeed something Gongsun Yue hadn’t told him.

However, through this information, he roughly estimated the time difference between this world and the real world.

About a little over one day equates to roughly one month?

[Gongsun Ying (lowering head): Also, we aren’t confident in sealing the Eye of Turbid Qi, without your help, we might not even be able to cross Purple Bamboo Mountain…]

That point Lin Qianxuan was aware of.

Gongsun Yue had already mentioned it.

They didn’t want to simply wait to die.

As for whether they could truly end this calamity, everyone had their own balance in their heart.

Shouting slogans loudly is okay, but truly deceiving oneself is not, right?

There are actually some experts in Zhang City.

However, they do not partake in Rebel Army activities.

They belong to those who have given up struggling.

To be frank, they are the clearest best off.

(Approaching, holding Gongsun Ying’s hand.)

[Lin Qianxuan (looking seriously at Gongsun Ying): It’ll be successful, because I’m here! No matter what, I’ll accompany you till the end!]

Gongsun Ying stared at the game character for a while, then revealed a smile.

[Gongsun Ying (nodding): Hmm.]

[Gongsun Ying was inspired by your words.]

[Gongsun Ying current connection rate: 95%]

“Tsk… not maximized, huh?”

Lin Qianxuan slightly furrowed his brows.

This promise was almost equivalent to a confession.

Moreover, it was also a vow of life and death.

Yet it still didn’t truly touch Gongsun Ying thoroughly.

Why is that?

Lacking external factor stimulation, or perhaps, her own issue?

Regarding external factors, the collective journey, combat, and assistance ensured that the prerequisites should also be maximized.

Then it should be her own issue.

As the leader of the Rebel Army, she wouldn’t let herself become completely entangled in romance.

She has her responsibilities, leading the people to end this Turbid Catastrophe.

Underneath responsibility, romantic love is small; how could she possibly become immersed in it?

Thinking like this, Lin Qianxuan felt he could comprehend it.

Thus, to thoroughly strategize Gongsun Ying, he still lacked a factor.

Having her relinquish responsibility.

She definitely couldn’t relinquish her responsibilities on her own.

Then it can only be him demonstrating the capacity to shoulder all these responsibilities, becoming the new leader of the Rebel Army.

“It’s challenging!”

Lin Qianxuan pursed his lips a bit, considering Chen Long’Er’s strategy line as literally gifted, the Gongsun sisters indeed required more effort. If he was not well-versed, he probably wouldn’t know where to start.
