Chapter 476 Desire
Black Ring Private Mechanical College.
"Fang Xing...you've been asking for leave more and more frequently recently, and you've already been absent from class several times..."
Monarch looked at Fang Xing, with a look of disappointment on his face: "If you continue like this, I doubt whether you can graduate successfully..."
"I'm sorry, mentor."
Fang Xing, who was going to the library to look through some books as it was a rare opportunity for him to come back, apologized very sincerely.
Sincere apology, firm determination not to change! "I have been thinking about a mechanical device recently, and this is the blueprint."
However, Monachi has some social connections with him that still need to be appeased.
Fang Xing immediately gave a composition.
Anyway, after awakening, he had the knowledge of the interstellar age, and it was easy for him to design several mechanical wonders.
"Um?"
Monach immediately became interested. He took the drawing, glanced at it, and his eyes lit up: "Not bad... If it is more rigorous, I think it can be used as a graduation project."
"Teacher, I actually asked for leave to travel around Black Ring City to find inspiration for designing machines. After all, the mechanical capital, Hettings, was once buried here."
Fang Xing found an excuse for his vacation.
"Well... you need to know that we mechanics are not only scientists, but also artists... every piece of machinery requires passion and dedication."
Monachi seemed to accept Fang Xing's statement.
After Fang Xing said goodbye and left, he looked at the blueprint in his hand and fell into deep thought: "What a genius idea! The originally pale soul, after being filled with knowledge and passion, turned out to be so... sweet! My soul feels the desire."
Monarch pondered for a moment, then picked up the bell on the table and rang it.
A mysterious man in a black cloak had come to his side without him noticing.
"The soul of this 'sacrifice' is almost mature."
As Monachi spoke, he handed the design drawing to the mysterious man.
"Inspiration, desire... What a sweet and delicious soul. I believe it is enough to satisfy those beings wandering in the 'Forest of Hunger' and open the 'Gate of Uncertainty' for us..."
The mysterious man's voice was hoarse and dry...but also contained a strange fanaticism.
"Yes, I thought his design was very creative, so I recruited him... A college student with no background like him would not attract much attention if he suddenly disappeared... Of course, I can give him a letter of introduction and let him find a job far away."
Monarch laughed.
When he first met Fang Xing, he felt that he was a perfect candidate for the 'sacrifice', but that was not enough! In addition to having enough talent and inspiration, he also had to be eager and obsessed enough! "But...his recent behavior has been a little unusual."
Monachi talked about Fang Xing's recent changes: "I think we need to investigate, or even take action in advance..."
"I will send someone to keep an eye on him... and you can give him the book "The Beauty of Machinery". Let his soul dry up, feel hungry, and even become a part of 'us'..."
The mysterious person said: "Beginners with a certain mysterious rank will be more effective as sacrifices..."
"I see."
Monachi nodded, and the desire in the depths of his eyes became even deeper...
…
"There are no books on the supernatural in the library..."
“This is a matter of course.”
Fang Xing, who was disappointed in the library, came to a villa.
A huge training ground has been built inside the villa. The mahogany floor has no gaps, is very tough, and has a faint herbal aroma.
"As expected, the so-called enjoyment in the upper class circles at any time can be jaw-dropping... "
Fang Xing stepped on the floor, looked at Shi Lei who was sweating on the wooden stake, and nodded.
Ever since he agreed to become Shi Lei's fitness coach, the other party bought this villa.
To the other party, this is just a drop in the bucket.
In Fang Xing's eyes, it was not even good enough.
In the interstellar age, if a wealthy person doesn’t have a few private planets, he would be embarrassed to say hello to others when he goes out.
If a truly powerful chaebol were not concerned about the Federation, they could control entire galaxies...
It is precisely because of this 'calm and unhurried' attitude that Shi Lei values Fang Xing even more.
"Coach, how did I play?"
After a "fight" with the wooden stake, Shi Lei wiped the sweat from his face and looked at Fang Xing expectantly.
"One word...bad!"
"How can the medicinal power in the stake penetrate smoothly without even breaking the skin?"
Fang Xing came in front of the wooden stake, turned his left hand up and swung his right hand down.
Snap! Sawdust flew everywhere, and clear palm prints appeared on the two wooden roots.
"My two palms are equivalent to a month's worth of training. If you work hard..."
Fang Xing spoke slowly and calmly.
"Then can I be like the coach?" Shi Lei's eyes lit up.
Didn't he know how strong these wooden stakes were? Especially leaving a clear palm print was more difficult than breaking or destroying the wooden stakes.
"No... For you, another ten years of training will be enough. This means you must train hard every day and take all kinds of nutritional supplements."
Fang Xing shook his head: "Practicing martial arts... is hard work, and in the end, it's still not as good as a gun."
This is the consensus of this era! The so-called martial arts is already dead...
"That's true, but I just want to practice martial arts. I like fighting and the feeling of constantly surpassing myself."
Shi Lei is very stubborn.
In other words, it is easy to become addicted to watching your body grow stronger day by day without the help of external things.
Just think about how many people in their previous lives were obsessed with fitness, torturing themselves every day for the sake of muscular beauty, and even using drugs, and you will understand.
Exercise can sometimes be addictive.
Fang Xing nodded without commenting.
Since this rich young man wants to play, then just play with him.
As long as he can find what he wants.
As there is no sign of establishing power yet, we can only rely on the network of these upper-class people.
"In that case, I will first teach you a little trick... It's called 'integrated force'... Integrate the strength of your whole body and strike out... With your current control, it's a joke to want to integrate the strength of your whole body, but it will definitely increase your punching power."
Fang Xing opened his mouth and pointed out a little trick.
This can't even be considered a boxing technique, it can only be considered a small killing move.
It's even a useless thing, because with Shi Lei's qualifications, if he wants to get the full strength, he must first have a clear pre-swing time.
If it's a real fight, if you pause for one or two seconds, it's enough to be beaten into a fool.
However, it is very effective when used to hit sandbags, wooden stakes, and fist strength testing machines, and the results are immediate.
This young master obviously doesn't have many opportunities for actual combat, but he is very suitable for it.
"good!"
Sure enough, Shi Lei's eyes lit up when he heard this.
After exercising for a few more hours, he took the white towel from the maid and said, "Coach... I found a few of the things you asked me to find last time. Do you want to take a look?"
"Oh? Did you find any?"
Fang Xing became interested.
Shi Lei nodded, drank the salt water, and asked someone to bring him a few things.
One of them was a pitch-black stone ghost mask.
"This is a sacrificial item from the Black Kuer tribe... It is said to have a mysterious power that can strengthen a person's physique, but it is actually just an antique."
Shi Lei was introducing.
Fang Xing nodded without comment. He touched the stone ghost mask and looked at the other items.
"There are also the legendary wizard's parchment scroll and the witch's broken crystal ball...they are not worth much."
Shi Lei smiled and said, "Coach, if you like, take them all."
Fang Xing looked at the so-called witch crystal ball that was the size of a fist and had cracks on the surface. He felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it in old Quinn's grocery store.
The cracks on it were caused by Old Quinn accidentally dropping it! "You are thoughtful. Continue to collect related items or information..."
Fang Xing picked up the stone ghost mask: "I'll just take this one, and the cost will be deducted from my private tutoring fee..."
After leaving the villa, he threw the stone mask in his hand and shook his head: "I don't feel anything strange... The Vairocana Mantra in my body didn't move at all. It seems that it is just an ordinary antique."
…
After returning to the apartment, Fang Xing took out the key, opened the door, and his expression changed.
He saw a package on the table in the living room of the rental apartment.
"A reply from my sister?"
"No, even if there was a letter, it could have been stuffed through the crack in the door at most...How did they get such a big package in?"
Fang Xing was a little curious, so he walked forward and tore the package, and found that it was a book.
A book on mechanics.
"Mechanical Beauty?"
Fang Xing flipped through a few pages and found that it was an ordinary mechanical book that introduced several mechanical components, and the wording used was somewhat inaccurate.
This made him, a student majoring in mechanical engineering, frown.
But soon, Fang Xing's expression became a little solemn:
"The roar of steam, the ringing of bells, the turning of gears... the beauty of steel is all there..."
"Life is like a machine, and I am like a flywheel..."
He softly recited those words of praise that seemed more emotional than rational and should not appear in professional books, and his tone unconsciously became ups and downs.
I even felt some invisible force permeating my heart.
The experience of studying for so many years has made my soul eagerly look forward to these "sweet rains"...
"It's really... I've been searching for a long time but still can't find it."
A smile appeared on Fang Xing's lips, and he let go of himself without any hesitation, accepting these "rains"! Then...
In his heart, there seemed to be an invisible blazing sun rising up, burning all the poisonous knowledge! Even without the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra, the little bit of pollution in the knowledge could not shake his will in the slightest.
"I found something extraordinary."
Fang Xing smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that in the end... the thing I'm looking for has always been by my side?"
