Chapter 288 Creating Wonders
After hearing Hu Li's analysis and conclusion, the little puppet's expression was obviously as if the sky had fallen.
She never expected that after all her efforts she had obtained such a powerful body, it was actually a limited-time trial version.
After her energy was exhausted, it was now difficult for her to even move a finger.
"What should I do..." Irene No. 1, who was carrying a picture frame, muttered beside Yu Sheng. At the same time, she looked up at her new body that was still held in Yu Sheng's arms and unable to move. Then she looked at the fox girl on the other side with great entanglement, "What can you do?"
Hu Li stepped forward and carefully checked Pro Irene's condition, examined her hands and feet, and chanted some incantations to perform some incomprehensible spells. After a long while, he nodded and said, "In theory... just wait."
Irene and Yu Sheng said in unison: "Waiting?"
"Wait for it to recharge itself," Hu Li pointed at the fingers of the puppet in Yu Sheng's arms, "Her hands can already move. Black iron has the property of automatically gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After being refined into such a complex puppet body, it naturally retains this ability. In theory, as long as she continues to wait, she will slowly recover."
"Really? Really?" Irene Unit 1 blinked immediately, "You're not lying to me?"
Hu Li tapped Irene Unit 1 with his tail: "Why would I lie to you?"
"Okay, then wait..."
Facts proved that Hu Li was right. After several minutes of recovery, Pro Irene's body began to gradually recover the most basic mobility - although she was like an old tin man that had not been oiled for several years, she was finally able to move her hands and feet, and even stand up and take a few steps.
The new body's restored mobility certainly made the little doll feel a little better, but it was obviously not that good.
She walked half a circle around Yu Sheng with the pace of a decade-long cerebral thrombosis, then stopped beside her other three bodies, with a look of despair on her face: "I feel like I'm carrying a human-shaped coffin... The charging is too slow! It's so difficult to just recover the ability to move, when will I be able to accumulate enough energy to continue firing laser cannons!"
As she spoke, she looked up at Hu Li again and said, "Is there no way to speed up the charging process?"
Hu Li thought for a moment: "...I usually eat, a lot of food."
Irene: “…”
"Well," Yu Sheng had to remind her quietly, "She has no digestive system."
"It's useless even if I have it," Hu Li's ears twitched, "ordinary stomachs can't 'refine' substances."
"Then think about whether there is any other way that is faster than this," Yu Sheng glanced at Irene's expression and quickly reminded her, "She is about to cry again."
"Absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth?" Hu Li thought about it, but before Irene's eyes lit up, he shook his head again, "But I've only seen this in short videos about various ancient practices, and I don't know how to do it... or use something else to charge it? I can't think of how to charge it for a while... I can't touch the wires, right?"
Listening to Hu Li's mumbling, Yu Sheng knew that this nine-tailed fox who dropped out of elementary school would be of no help. He could only sigh, pick up Pro Irene again, and comfort her kindly: "At least you can recover on your own. It's a bit slow, but you have more than just this one body... If it doesn't work, just keep this body as your trump card. Keep it at home for slow charging. When a fight comes, I'll open a door and pull you out to fire..."
The little doll raised its head in Yu Sheng's arms: "Yu Sheng..."
"ah?"
The little puppet gnashed his teeth and said, "You really know how to comfort people!"
Yu Sheng felt that the other party might not be praising him...
After a while, Rapunzel and the others who had been watching the excitement for a while finally understood what was going on, and came over one after another. Some came forward to comfort Irene, some curiously asked about the "multiplication" process of the little doll's new bodies, some expressed their admiration for the rich and colorful daily life in the hostel, and some came over to praise Irene for her good military boxing - the last one was the heartless Rapunzel, who was hit on the head by three Iresnes halfway through her praise, causing her to jump up and down.
After looking around, Yu Shengze found that he didn't see a familiar figure, so he asked curiously: "Where is Little Red Riding Hood? Is she out on another mission?"
"I'm in class," Snow White said casually while watching the three Irenes and Long Hair playing and laughing, "I won't be back until the evening."
Yu Sheng: "Isn't this Saturday?"
Bai Xue: "Isn't she a senior in high school?"
Yu Sheng: "...Okay, I'll forget about it."
"By the way," Snow White suddenly moved closer and whispered, "her birthday is next week, did you know?"
"I know," Yu Sheng nodded, "She told me about it a long time ago."
"Have you picked out a present yet?" Snow White muttered, and then added, "I'm going to give her some books."
Yu Sheng's expression was a little hesitant. After thinking for a long time, he said hesitantly: "Actually, I also want to give her a few books..."
"That's good. She usually likes to read."
Snow White said this and walked away.
Yu Sheng looked at the scene of Irene and Changfa playing around not far away, and became thoughtful.
Gifts... Thinking about it carefully, he found that he really didn't have any impression of being a gift for people to choose.
It didn't even give the impression of celebrating a birthday.
The days in the past are always as shallow as clear water. In my living memory, my life before coming to this "borderland" was mostly spent in "silence", quiet, peaceful, tranquil, and alone. Even "writing" was just a way to make a living. In comparison now, those uneventful days combined do not seem to be as lively as the things that happened here in three days.
...even though it's sometimes too lively.
Yu Sheng smiled and shook his head, then glanced at the scene of Irene and Rapunzel fighting and joking around, and helplessly said, "Get out of the way! Everyone, stay away from this platform. I'm going to build something!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Irene and Long Hair stopped fighting immediately.
Several eyes fell on Yu Sheng at once.
The long-haired one came over first: "Brother, what kind of building are you going to build?"
"Build a wall around this platform, and then add a roof," Yu Sheng spread his hands helplessly, "After all, this is the core building of the hotel's headquarters, it can't always be a bare foundation - and I'm planning to build a few more floors here to make it more impressive."
"How many floors?" Irene was curious. "What are they used for?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, let's build it first and then improve it slowly later," Yu Sheng said calmly, "Anyway, we definitely need an alchemy laboratory on the second floor - not a temporary one, but a proper one with an alchemy table, preparation room, storage room and other supporting facilities."
Irene's eyes widened. "To build me a new body?"
Yu Sheng looked unhappy: "Can't I study something else?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"You know anything else?"
Yu Sheng's mouth twitched: "...Build you a new body."
“Okay!”
Anyway, after a lot of messy episodes, Yu Sheng is finally going to put a cover on the "hub platform" that he had prepared a long time ago.
Due to their high understanding and confidence in the students' "house-rubbing" skills, Rapunzel and her friends immediately retreated a hundred meters away from the platform.
Even Hu Li and Irene ran away - the disabled Pro Irene was carried by her other three bodies while running.
"Is it really that serious..."
Looking back at the group of people who were already a hundred meters away, Yu Sheng muttered a little helplessly, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, he quickly calmed down and focused on the things at hand.
He stood in an open space outside the platform, and as his mind settled, the "blueprint" gradually came to his mind.
First of all, an optimal construction point is needed.
The soil under his feet began to wriggle, condense, harden, and then gradually rise.
A grayish-white square pillar rose from the open space. Yu Sheng stood on the top of the pillar and rose with it until he overlooked the entire portal platform.
Irene, who was not far away, watched this scene and couldn't help but muttered quietly: "It looks quite like that..."
Hu Li nodded firmly again: "I have said long ago that you can become a civil engineer."
Yu Sheng heard murmurs coming from a distance.
In fact, he could now hear all the sounds on the entire platform and a considerable area around it.
Even the tiny sound of wind blowing through gravel, and the rustling sound of grass leaves breaking through the soil and stretching out their tender leaves.
There is also the slight friction as "rocks" are generated inside the platform and gradually grow upwards.
In his "vision", this land became a "living thing" that could be shaped and grow rapidly.
The high wall rose from the edge of the platform with a low roar and friction sound. Along with the high wall, there rose ancient and solemn stone pillars. The pillars surrounded the outside of the wall, supporting a circle of corridors around the entire hub. There were also supporting pillars that gradually grew out from the inside of the wall, like the ribs of a giant beast, ready to support the subsequent dome.
Yu Sheng looked down at the rapidly growing "bones" and "flesh", watching the gray-white rocks quickly form the first layer of the hub's structure, and then begin to build the slightly smaller second layer.
In his blueprint, it was a huge pyramid-shaped building.
The tower is divided into seven floors, each floor is smaller and different.
The first layer is the infrastructure of the portal platform, which is used to connect various places that the hotel can reach. Considering the vastness of the entire universe, even a large hall will not be enough, so the gate here will only be used to connect the most important nodes, so it will be called the "hub hall."
The second floor is where research is done. Its core is the alchemy laboratory used to create more Irene's shells, and around it are many empty rooms waiting to be used.
The third floor is the main storage facility. Yu Sheng feels that he needs such a warehouse - to store all kinds of strange things he has collected, as well as handy weapons, tools and the like. After all, no matter how big the basement of No. 66 Wutong Road is, it cannot compare to a spectacular building in the valley. Considering that there are countless rare items in this world, the space in the basement will sooner or later be insufficient.
The entire third floor is his personal "Treasure Pavilion".
The fourth to seventh floors are useless, they are just for the sake of appearance, to form a pyramid structure...
