"Don't be too sad yet. Maybe your comprehension speed will improve after you memorize the knowledge."

Carl picked up some food for Lisanna and tried to comfort her.

But Lisanna, who had suffered a loss once, obviously didn't believe what Carl said.

"Let's not talk about this for now. If we continue, Lisanna will cry. By the way, do you know anything about the Jinquan Club? After school today, a student's parent came over and wanted to sponsor the contestants of the School of Change.

He claimed to be a member of the Jinquan Society and had several golden rings on his hands.

Touching Lisanna's hair, Nia took the initiative to change the subject.

"Jinquan Club? Um~, you'd better not get involved with them."

Hearing Karl's half-hidden and half-revealed words, Nia sat up straight and continued to ask: "What happened to them?"

With a twisted expression, Carl introduced the Jinquan Club in a more objective way.

“In general, this is a group of people who have risen up by relying on emerging technologies. Although they are keen on charity, they will also do things behind the scenes that harm the country or the people.

The first few members of the Breland Kingdom Parliament were said to be members of the Gold Power Society."

Compared to the name of the organization "Financial Power Society", Carl prefers to call these people "capital".

And based on some casual conversations he had with Moore's class during overtime, Carl felt that the reason why the tower master attached so much importance to the phantom device was because the members of the Golden Power Society were trying to control the public opinion of ordinary people in Andair.

Although the power of the lower-class people is limited in a world with supernatural powers, as long as ordinary people still need to do ordinary jobs, ordinary people still have value in existence.

"So, it's not a good thing for them to come and support the School of Change?"

After taking a sip of the fragrant broth, Nia's brows slowly furrowed.

"Then I don't know, but this group of people are very good at making money. Maybe they found some way to make money in the rules of the game."

Carl shrugged and didn't go any further into the topic.

After finishing the meal, Carl began to make intelligence headbands for Lisanna and other rangers.

But this time he made an ordinary intelligence headband, after all, rangers don't need to wear power armor.

The increase in intelligence attribute greatly increased Carl's speed. Before evening, he had already finished making an intelligence headband and handed it to Lisanna.

…

Half a month later, Carl made an intelligence headband for all the exchange student rangers.

He had also learned the basic knowledge about constructs and was ready to try to make one to act as a helper.

Of course, before that, he had to upgrade the appearance of Nia's "Heavy Armor Bunny".

“Sizzle——”

In the production workshop of the Tower of Wonders, Carl was operating a lathe and processing a piece of metal material.

The gaming experience from his previous life became a source of inspiration as his mechanic skills gradually improved. At this time, Carl was trying to transform a motorcycle into a variant of the Heavy-Armored Bunny.

As for the design drawings, Carl has debugged them many times in the dream world, so he is now quite skilled in making them.

Although the Iron Guard is also a type of construct, it is actually more mechanical. Except for the part that serves as the core of intelligence and energy, the rest is machines.

Although traditional constructs look like large machines, their core is real magic. They are powered by muscle-like clockwork structures etched with magic patterns and embedded with runes. Ritual magic is constantly contained in their shells to activate them.

Although both are constructs, they are moving towards each other from the sides of technology and magic respectively.

This is also the reason why Carl was able to help Nia design the Heavy Armor Bunny before, but now he has to learn about constructs.

With the sparks of welding, a prototype was gradually perfected. Seeing that the main part of the machine had been completed, Carl took out a gem from his backpack.

Holding the gem in both hands, azure magic burst out from Carl's palms.

But Carl did not let it change into its actual form. Instead, he opened the Iron Guard's breastplate and placed the gem in the Iron Guard's chest.

When the gem is perfectly embedded in the socket, magic flows out from it.

The magic patterns etched into the iron guard's body lit up one after another, the breastplate snapped back into place, and the eyes on the head glowed with a faint yellow light.

"Greetings, Master!"

Moving his body, the Iron Guard slowly floated up from the ground.

"How do you feel? Is there anything wrong with your organs?"

Carl walked quickly to the front, grabbed the Iron Guard's waist, and turned him back and forth to check.

This Iron Guard is just like the original Heavy Armored Bunny, an intelligent robot with only the upper body. Carl uses an electromagnetic suspension device to make it float.

During combat, it will float behind Carl like a ghost.

"It feels good, Master, but the weapon is missing important parts, and the motorcycle form is missing wheels..."

With magical light flashing in his eyes from time to time, the Iron Guard answered the questions he detected truthfully.

"It's okay. These two things haven't been made yet. Come on, try this first."

As he spoke, Carl took out two "cannon barrels" from his backpack.

This is a "cannon" with a freeze ray function added to it. Its only function is to fire freeze rays.

If you have to find a difference between it and the freezing ray released by ordinary spellcasters, it is that the spell it fires is thicker.

But no matter how rough it is, the damage is still the same.

He aimed the two cannon barrels at the buckles on his body, and the Iron Guard became one with the cannon barrels with two "clicks".

The magic patterns inside the barrel lit up, and as long as Carl thought about it, they would emit freezing rays.

He sent a command to the Iron Guard with his mind, and the suspended Iron Guard instantly began to deform.

After a series of mechanical changes, a motorcycle without wheels appeared in front of Carl.

The electromagnetic levitation device is still effective, so the motorcycle-shaped Iron Guard is still floating in the air.

"Very good! The effect is good. Hmm~ What should I give you a name?

Reinstall the bunny? No, that's just the model of your shell.

By the way! You have to help me with various tasks in the future, um! I’ll call you V! "

Legend has it that in Night City, as long as you meet someone and say, "Are you the famous V?" there will be a big enemy who will do all the dirty work for you.

Carl felt that his artificial life servants should also have the same spirit of service towards him.

"I have received the master's name. V is happy to serve you."

The car lights flashed, and there was no emotion in V's voice.

Once again, a command was sent to V's core, and V transformed back into the Iron Guard form, then floated behind Carl.

"The next step is to make a hardcover version of your body. V, help me."

"Yes, Master."
