Chapter 352 Little Wind Chime Chooses to Leave It to Fate
"So, have you managed to get in touch with Little Wind Chime?"

On the deck, Feng Xue was familiarizing herself with the latest version of the Xuanwu Cantongqi. As they got closer to Hat Island (her own name), Feng Xue casually asked a question.

"That little goddess, Little Wind Chime, is completely terrified and a bit withdrawn now, but after some explanation, she's starting to calm down." Little Bell's tone was somewhat subtle, and Feng Xue chuckled upon hearing this.

Thinking about it carefully, it really is true. You created a clone, and it's been less than half a month since it left home. You've been monitoring its entire resume the whole time. Suddenly, the scene flashes and the clone is stronger than you. Who can withstand that?

Not to mention that these illusory gods can devour each other. It's only because Little Wind Chime really had nowhere to run that Feng Xue believed she would run away with the island.

"You connect the communication directly, and I'll talk to her."

After thinking for a moment, Feng Xue decided to have a talk first to avoid any unpleasantness. Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingdang immediately opened the hidden door.

Actually, Little Wind Chime didn't really want to answer the communication, but the two goddesses' source code was essentially the same. If Little Wind Chime could open it, Little Bell could of course open it too. Not to mention that Little Bell's current scale was much stronger than Little Wind Chime's, a goddess with only a few thousand followers.

"Hi~ It's Little Wind Chime, whom we haven't seen in a long time!"

Hearing the somewhat listless tone in the voice on the other end of the line, Feng Xue smiled and said:
"I've brought back the supplies. I've purchased a batch of the ores you requested. This is the knowledge list published by the Land Seekers Association. I earned quite a few contribution points this time. Take a look and see which technologies you need, and I'll exchange them for you!"

"I already know." Little Wind Chime's tone was still somewhat downcast, and she didn't seem very enthusiastic. Feng Xue thought for a moment, and considering the other party's access to the 3D printer, she decided to stick to the facts and reason with them:
“I know what you’re worried about, but if you think about it carefully, you’ll find that your worries are unnecessary. Or you can consider the most extreme scenario: if I really let Little Bell swallow you, what benefit would she get? Or to put it more bluntly, if Little Bell swallows you, will she grow faster than herself? I also have to consider the impurities you might bring, don’t you think?”

"What if you want to seize the legacy of a previous civilization?" Little Wind Chime thought to herself, but she didn't say it outright, or rather, she really didn't have the ability to resist.

Her base of operations is at the Qatar Weather Station, and lacking mobility, she can only passively wait for Feng Xue to arrive.

If she were facing foreign pirates, she could use weather missiles and ocean current manipulation to defend herself. However, she had witnessed Feng Xue's previous battles with the Vice Admiral and Moon Goddess Mau through Xiao Lingdang. With Xiao Lingdang, the mole, around, she couldn't win either. If she really sent those islanders out to fight, their entire army would be wiped out, and she might even anger them.

At this point, all we can do is hope that the other party truly means us no harm.

Little Wind Chime sighed, having finally composed herself, and said as calmly as possible:

"The quantity of ore you purchased is a bit small, but the variety is quite complete. I've selected a few blueprints based on their utilization rate. Could you help me change them?"

"Okay." Seeing that most of the blueprints sent by Xiaofengling were for basic metallurgical and machining lathes, Feng Xue understood that the goddess was showing weakness in order to reduce Feng Xue's hostility.

However, he genuinely had no intention of doing anything to this goddess. Ultimately, he wouldn't be staying in this world permanently. Even if he did conquer Hat Island, all he would truly gain would be the pre-civilization technology, which he might not even be able to fully utilize. If Little Wind Chime were to set up some access control that Little Bell didn't know about, then everything would be for naught.

In contrast, wouldn't it be better to maintain a friendly relationship with Little Wind Chime and simply ask her to do whatever you need?
Thinking of this, Feng Xue added another set of blueprints for a mechanical android to her shopping cart. After a moment's thought, she also picked up a consumer-grade 3D printer. But just then, Little Wind Chime immediately said:
"You don't need a printer. The equipment I have can produce 3D printers with micron-level precision. Although it can't manufacture high-precision chips, it's still much better than the ones you chose. If you want one, I can make one for you later. In comparison, you can take a look at the blueprints for the one with the serial number cu72311. I think that should meet your needs, and it's not difficult to make. If you need, I can also change the energy source for you."

"So sensible!" Feng Xue thought to herself, immediately throwing away the printer and searching for the blueprint that Xiao Fengling had chosen for him. The blueprint was for a "gemstone cultivation tank," which, according to the description, was a cultivation device that could produce most mainstream gemstones. It was about the size of a coffin. If there was any drawback, it was that it used heavy nuclear fusion to burn rocks instead of the water fusion that was currently the mainstream energy source in this world.

However, for Feng Xue, burning stones was more cost-effective than boiling water, so he immediately selected the blueprint. As the main contributor to killing the naval vice admiral, he received a considerable reward. Combined with the blueprints he had saved from capturing pirates, purchasing these blueprints, which were only considered civilian technology by the standards of the previous civilization, was a piece of cake.

The reason he bought the blueprints at this time wasn't just because he was anxious or to reassure Xiaofengling, but because although Xiaofengling had the printer, it would take time to put the equipment into production. By sending the technical data over now, Xiaofengling could use the materials she had to make preliminary preparations, and then produce the finished product as quickly as possible once the subsequent materials arrived.

Little Wind Chime was clearly aware of the situation, and immediately said after receiving the blueprints transmitted by Feng Xue:

"I'll start the preliminary preparations now. I still have the materials for the gem cultivation tank in stock, so it should be ready by the time you arrive."

"There's no rush for that, but I don't need to change the energy source; heavy nuclear fusion will still be fine."

Although she didn't know why Feng Xue would abandon the readily available seawater and choose the rarer stones, Xiao Fengling didn't try to persuade her further. She nodded and prepared to hang up, but just then, Feng Xue immediately spoke:

"Wait a minute, I have another request here, which has a higher priority than the Gem Cultivation Tank!"

"Oh, okay, go ahead." Little Wind Chime was also curious. From her perspective, jade held a very high position in Feng Xue's combat system. What could be more important than mass-producing high-quality jade?

"Yes, I have a ritual here. You don't need to know the specifics, but it's very complicated. I'll have Xiaolingdang send you the details. See if you can print it out."

As they spoke, Little Bell had already uploaded the previously derived mana calculator to Little Wind Chime. Little Wind Chime glanced at it and nodded, saying:
"It's easy, but only gold can meet the precision requirements of this core circuit, and I don't have much gold on hand..."

"You pay for it first, I'll reimburse you!"

"Okay, boss, I promise I'll make it perfect for you!"
