Chapter 991: No Desire for Knowledge in the Eyes

When Wang Ying woke up, he felt that not a single bone in his body was intact.

The feeling of being on the verge of death is not a good one.

The last time he was almost killed was when he was dealing with the young master of the Wei family and his lackeys. That time, Wang Ying narrowly escaped death and had to lie in the hospital for a long time before he could get out of bed and walk.

Once can be considered an accident, but what about twice?
Actually, I am just an ordinary person, right?
Facing such a cruel reality was more unbearable for Wang Ying than the physical pain.

Growing up amidst the praise and admiration of my elders, I naively thought that the world was just like that.

Only when I stepped out of the house did I realize how vast the world is and how humble I am.

She struggled to sit up and was surprised to see that she was in a huge factory.

In front of me is a giant man-made machine that is more than ten meters high and covers an area of ​​hundreds of square meters. It is filled with various gears, bearings, pipes and instruments... It is impossible to tell what it is used for.

The foreign craftsmen in long robes held screwdrivers and wrenches in their hands, muttering to themselves as they concentrated on assembling the giant machine in front of them.

The air was filled with the smell of engine oil and some kind of spice, and faintly the sound of chanting and praying could be heard in the distance.

A humanoid puppet made entirely of mechanical parts and wearing a Western-style dress came to Wang Ying and handed her a cup of warm water.

Wang Ying took the cup and asked, "Where is this? You saved me?"

"You look like you know nothing. How did you get here?"

"I……"

"Forget it, come with me, you can call me Morgreed."

"My name is Wang Ying..."

"That's not important. I don't see any curiosity or awe towards machinery in you, so I don't want to get to know you."

Morgred's attitude was very cold.

Wang Ying was speechless.

She really didn't feel anything when she looked at the huge machine.

Now my mind is filled with the shock of Chu Jiang killing me instantly with one move.

Following Morgreed through the long corridor, we came to a hall full of candles.

Here, she saw the witch with dirty clothes and ghostly appearance.

The witch embedded herself in a cold mechanical seat, with countless tubes connecting her from her brain to the spine on her back, which looked very strange.

"Alpha, she's awake."

"It looks like you guys don't get along very well?"

"I don't like this kid."

"You are too hard on little children, Morgred."

"I just don't like this kid."

Mogred emphasized.

"Okay, let me talk to her alone."

The witch waved her hand and asked the mechanical puppet to leave the room. She turned her cloudy eyes and looked at Wang Ying.

"Do you know why she hates you?"

"Because I'm not interested in mechanics?"

"No, because your IQ is too low." The witch sneered, "I picked you up. Of course, I knew that even if I didn't pick you up, the soldiers would have picked you up. I know who you are, but you know nothing about me. And I can't see the slightest desire for knowledge in your eyes. You are not curious about who I am at all. You only want to challenge the mountain god after you recover from your injuries... Am I right?"

Wang Ying remained silent.

"I know your name is Wang Ying. I also know that you have the best teachers and brothers, and you are receiving the best education. You also have many relatives and friends, and they are all very worried about you. And you yourself... you don't care about these things at all. You just listened to a few words of deception from people with ulterior motives, and ran to this remote place to seek death, and you even call it cultivation."

"I just want to see a real dragon..."

"Has anyone told you that dragons are magical creatures? They are natural kings who can call the wind and rain and possess infinite power. As long as you can obtain a little bit of real dragon blood, you can increase your strength tenfold?"

"You believed this nonsense so completely that only a first-year middle school kid would believe it?"

I am in the first grade of junior high school!
Under this continuous criticism, Wang Ying's face gradually turned red.

"Even a real dragon girl needs to undergo systematic training from a young age. It takes at least ten years of accumulation before she has enough strength to go out and gain experience. Of course, they won't tell you these things. They just want to eat dumplings, not mix the dough and stuffing... You probably won't understand what I'm saying because you're too young."

The witch slowly stood up, and the pipes behind her fell off one by one, spewing out streams of snow-white steam.

"Don't worry about it. Just think of it as your senior's habitual nagging. Wait a moment, someone will come to pick you up."

Wang Ying followed her line of sight and discovered that on the wall behind her was a huge blackboard, on which were densely written a large number of mathematical formulas and geometric figures with chalk.

I can't understand anything except Arabic numerals.

The witch raised her hand and waved it gently. Two-thirds of the notes on the blackboard disappeared instantly, and chalk dust filled the entire auditorium.

She stretched her arms out two meters and began to write a new formula.

"What did you write?"

Wang Ying couldn't help but ask.

"This is a hypothesis, a plan, and a way to solve the problem."

The witch replied: "To build an ark to resist tsunamis, the necessary conditions... In terms that you can understand, if you are given a small boat and asked to set off from Tianmen City to Edo, what preparations do you need to make?"

"A navigator and a sailor are necessary. You can't just row the boat with human power, so you need an engine and fuel. You need signal flags and an anchor... Only force, your personal bravery, has no value on this ship."

Wang Ying didn't understand at all, but after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to understand a little.

At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps interrupted the flash of inspiration that had finally emerged in her mind.

The fully armed Wang Yunxiao walked in from outside, glanced at her, turned to the witch and said, "I'll take the person away. Thank you for your care."

"You don't have to be so polite, Commander Wang."

The witch smiled while leaning on her cane and said, "If you are going to go to war against the devil now, you can keep the child. There is no need to let her participate in a war of that level. It will not be good for her mental health."

"It wouldn't be good for her mental health to stay with you."

"At least I still have snacks and toys here."

Wang Yunxiao shook his head and said, "We can't fight today. The Qilin Army is undergoing a major reshuffle, so we have to wait until next month to start the war."

"Next month? The Adeptus Mechanicus will be able to provide some assistance by then."

"What do you mean by assistance?"

"One month is enough time for me to complete the Gonggong Engine."

"What is that?"

"Even if I explain it to you, you may not understand it. You will know it when the time comes."
