Chapter 32 Cyber Puppet However, Xu Hui was destined to be disappointed...
However, Xu Hui was destined to be disappointed. Lei Hong did nothing and the golden finger was easily snatched away.
Lei Xiao learned of the purpose and initially planned to return it to Wan Moxiao, but she insisted, "I have the magic weapons you gave me, which are enough to keep me safe. On the contrary, I think you need it more."
Lei Xiao understood that she was worried about him and was deeply moved. He stopped refusing and swore his respect to her by dripping blood.
After that, he was even more considerate and caring towards her.
When the heir of a big family wants to be nice to someone, it's like a spring breeze, and you are valued in every aspect.
Wan Moxiao was just an ordinary girl before she traveled through time. Even though she had the original owner's memories, she knew that this was the upbringing of a big family.
But knowing it is one thing, but being treated so cherished and cared for so carefully, not to mention being such an outstanding and handsome person, how can I not be moved?
I felt so happy and immersed in pink bubbles.
For a moment, the man and woman were so affectionate that the whole hall was extremely sweet.
But no one else can say anything. After all, she is my fiancée, so it is normal for us to have a good relationship.
Xu Hui was just curious, did the girl who traveled through the book really fall in love with the supporting male character?
If she hadn't traveled through time, what would have been the ending of the female supporting character Wan Moxiao? Would she have been killed directly, or would she have been conquered by the charm of the male protagonist Lei Hong?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but compare Lei Xiao and Lei Hong. Although Lei Xiao had the root of thunder, perhaps because he inherited his mother's temperament, he would appear gentle and amiable, often smiling, and always looking at people with a peaceful attitude.
This is very similar to Wei Muheng, but the difference is that Wei Muheng is a real smiling tiger. Beneath his gentle appearance, he uses fierce and ruthless methods and is decisive and murderous in his bones.
And he does have a gentle side, at least in front of Wan Moxiao. No wonder the girl who traveled through the book was bewitched by him.
It's only been a short time, and she's already willing to work herself to death for him to win the male lead's chance.
Lei Hong is a different type. He appears to be taciturn on the surface, but in fact he is tough and ruthless, has a strong desire for revenge, is highly aggressive, and is highly talented, so he is quick and decisive when he takes action.
If Mu Yuan is an iceberg, then he is a deep pool, and neither should be underestimated.
But one of them is the male protagonist in a female-oriented novel, and the other is the male protagonist in a male-oriented novel. There are essential differences between them, especially in terms of love.
In the novel, Mu Yuan is portrayed as a flower on the mountain top, who is devoted to the heroine alone and remains loyal to her until death.
Lei Hong cannot be said to fall in love with every woman he meets, but he is easily moved by beauties. Once touched, he will soften his heart towards them. As a result, many beauties come and go around him, and half of them have a good ending while others do not.
Anyway, the women around him are always prone to getting into trouble, waiting for him to rescue them. Some of them are rescued, but some are sacrificed.
But without exception, no matter how capable these beauties are, they can only rely on him at critical moments.
For example, Xu Anruo can deal with puppets and escape successfully when he is alone. He is very clever and resourceful. But once he is with him, he is completely out of the ordinary and can only wait to be rescued.
In comparison, the two sisters Zhong Xinyue and Zhong Lingyue seemed much happier.
No matter which one, after falling in love with Mu Yuan, they both helped him a lot. Can it be considered a mutual achievement?
In this case, Wan Moxiao was right to choose Lei Xiao. If she gets close to Lei Hong, the woman's strength and aura will be weakened, and she will become a vassal, which is really disgusting.
While I was daydreaming, the sisters Zhong Xinyue and Zhong Lingyue also walked in one after another. They didn't look embarrassed at all, and their bodies were delicate and graceful, which showed that they had not suffered any pain.
However, both of them looked unhappy. When they saw each other, their expressions turned cold and they walked up to Mu Yuan to say hello.
After they appeared, the halls slammed shut and the jade on the walls emitted a white light.
This means the test has officially begun. No one else will come, and the final winner of the inheritance will be chosen from among them.
But the problem is that the current situation is completely different from what they had just expected.
Originally, they thought that besides the three of them, there would be outsiders coming in. In that case, relying on the relationships among the several parties, it would be wise to cooperate for mutual benefit, so they signed the contract.
But now the situation has changed. Lei Hong and Xu Ruoan are members of the Lei family. Although Wan Moxiao is also a member of the Wan family, she is Lei Xiao's fiancée, so they can be considered a community of interests.
The sisters Zhong Xinyue and Zhong Lingyue are Mu Yuan's new subordinates, so the opportunities they obtain should naturally belong to the Mu family.
On Wei Mubai's side, there were only him and Xu Hui.
Not only are the three parties unequal in numbers, but there is also a huge gap in combat power.
First of all, Wei Mubai was injured. Although he recovered a little through meditation, he was not a match for Mu Yuan and Lei Xiao for the time being.
Secondly, Lei Hong suffered external injuries, so he was able to challenge the Foundation Establishment Stage. If Xu Anruo's combat power was not strong, there was still Wan Moxiao.
She has reached the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage and is capable of fighting against Zhong Xinyue and her sister.
Moreover, Lei Xiao had just obtained a substitute puppet, which was equivalent to having the combat power of an additional Jindan stage cultivator.
Calculated in this way, the fighting power is completely unbalanced, and the Lei family can even fight one against two.
As for the alliance between the Mu family and the Wei family, should they first fight against the Lei family?
Stop making trouble. They have just signed the contract. The families will have to get along with each other in the future. They cannot fall out here, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Lei Xiao thought for a moment and said, "This way, our contract will still be valid, but it will only be between the three of us. If they obtain the inheritance, it will not be counted in the contract. What do you think?"
This is the most decent solution for the three companies.
Mu Yuan and Wei Mubai had no objection and agreed to the proposal.
The three of them reached a consensus and immediately focused their attention on the changes in the hall.
A breeze blew by, and the air in the hall seemed to freeze. It was so quiet that the only sound one could hear was one's own heartbeat.
Then, the puppet on the wall began to move slowly, trembling slightly at first, then gradually becoming more flexible, as if given life.
Especially those eyes that are full of spirit, when they look at you, it seems as if they contain thousands of Taoism principles.
Xu Hui was caught off guard and looked into the eyes of one of the puppets. Then her mind was shaken, as if she saw some incredible scene.
"Xu Hui, in today's lab class, the teacher is finally going to teach us how to make puppets. Have you prepared the materials?"
Xu Hui answered subconsciously, "It's ready. The materials are all newly bought and very valuable."
But then, a doubt flashed through her mind: Does the school have a course on puppet making?
As soon as the thought came to her mind, her brain automatically added a piece of information.
She lives in a magical world where technology and puppetry coexist, combine and influence each other, forming a cyberpunk puppet civilization.
Here, puppets have various functions. They can fight, serve as auxiliary tools, and help humans do many things, just like robots.
What is a robot?
Xu Hui was confused for a moment, then ignored it.
Puppets play an important role in all aspects, but they are not easy to make and only professional puppeteers can make them.
In order to become a puppeteer, one must possess mental power. From F to S level, Xu Hui is an ordinary B level, far inferior to the classmates around her.
By the way, what was her name?
Xu Hui turned her head to look at the girl who had just spoken to her. She had delicate and beautiful features, an extraordinary temperament, and a smile that seemed to be sweet enough to touch people's hearts.
"Fang Tiantian!" A name came out of his mouth.
"What's wrong?" The girl turned around and looked at her with a smile.
Xu Hui inexplicably felt a sense of disgust in her heart. She felt that this name disgusted her and this face made her uncomfortable to look at.
But clearly, in memory, they are best friends, aren't they?
Fang Tiantian has S-level mental power and maximum talent. She should have become friends with those gifted people, but because they are neighbors and have the best relationship, Fang Tiantian never despises her for not having talent.
She should be grateful and cherish this friendship.
Why does she hate Fang Tiantian?
Is it jealousy?
Thinking of this, Xu Hui examined herself. How could she be jealous of others just because they were better than her? Her mother didn't teach her that.
Face yourself, study hard, don't be jealous, don't compare, do what you should do, and do it with a clear conscience.
My mother’s earnest teachings are still fresh in my mind. Xu Hui, how could you ignore my mother’s last wish and feel jealous?
By the way, mom?
She suddenly realized that her mother had passed away. Her face turned pale and her heart was filled with pain.
"What's wrong?" Fang Tiantian asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask the teacher for leave? Don't worry about the lab class, I'll teach you when we get back."
Xu Hui shook her head. "It's okay. Let's go. Class is almost time."
She always felt that this course was very important and she had to take it.
"Oh," Fang Tiantian saw that she was not feeling uncomfortable, so she hurriedly pulled her and walked a few steps towards the laboratory.
Xu Hui felt uncomfortable all over and wanted to shake off the annoying hand, but she forced herself to hold back. She quickened her pace and rushed to the front.
The two arrived at the classroom before the bell rang, chose their seats, took out the materials from their backpacks, and placed them one by one on the test bench.
The teacher walked in as the bell rang, put away the books, and said seriously, "You have learned the theoretical knowledge very well, but theory alone is not enough. To become a qualified puppeteer, you must have excellent hands-on skills. Now, follow me and make your first puppet in your life."
He explained and demonstrated at the same time, and the whole process was projected onto a large screen, so everyone could see it clearly no matter where they were sitting.
A thought flashed through Xu Hui's mind: Is teaching so advanced now? When she was in school, projectors were only used to display PowerPoint presentations.
Wait, when she was in school? Isn't it time for her to go to school now?
I sensed something was wrong again and was about to investigate further when the teacher above me shouted, "Xu Hui!"
"Here!" Xu Hui stood up reflexively.
"Tell me what to do next?" The teacher looked at her sternly.
Xu Hui took a look and said, "Carve runes."
"What are the particulars of drawing runes?" the teacher continued to ask.
Xu Hui blurted out without thinking, "Use the mental thread to pull it. Don't stop in the middle, otherwise it will be scrapped."
"Have you memorized the runes for the housework puppet?"
"Remember," Xu Hui hurriedly drew the shape of the rune on the learning board.
"Good, remember to listen carefully next time and don't be distracted," the teacher's expression relaxed and reminded, "This is your first time to engage in practical operation, it is the foundation of the foundation. Don't think that you can ignore your hands-on ability just because you have mastered the theory."
Xu Hui nodded seriously, indicating that she had taken note of it.
After that, she really didn't dare to be distracted and listened carefully to the teacher's explanation. While listening, she made her own puppet.
However, as a novice, no matter how solid her theoretical knowledge was, her hands could not keep up with her brain, and she always made various mistakes when carving runes.
Either too much mental power is input and the tip of the engraving pen is directly scrapped.
Or it breaks off midway and needs to be redrawn.
Or maybe the mental strength is not enough, so the painting is a half-finished product, and it loses its effect when it is brightened.
In short, seven or eight sets of materials were wasted and no one was completed.
However, in contrast to her, Fang Tiantian next to her did it quickly and well, and succeeded in one go.
And the teacher announced, "There's no flaw in it. This is already a mature housework puppet."
Xu Hui was a little discouraged. The gap between people was too obvious. Next to Fang Tiantian, she seemed particularly stupid.
