The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 127 Apprenticeship
After the Gemini family arrived, their faces showed more hardship.

They almost got into a fight over the two spots for learning technical skills.

She mediated, saying that anyone who deliberately started the argument would lose the money-making methods she would provide in the future, which stopped the absurd quarrel.

The look of longing in Sally's eyes was heart-melting.

"We can start now, since there's not much difference between day and night anyway." Su Ninglong directed the two robots to get to work.

The robots she creates are now able to execute relatively complex commands and no longer exhibit bizarre behaviors like picking up feces and throwing them around for fun.

The wood was readily available; fallen trees were common in the forest, and the Yangzhu would cut them up and move them over.

He just left them piled up in the yard and didn't care, like a pure collector.

There's enough wood for a bonfire party.

The robot is building a pile of firewood.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Lei Qingya, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, opened his eyes, got up, put on his coat, and went to open the door.

"Hello, Lei Xiaotong, I wonder if you remember me?" Doug grinned, his fiery red hair standing out even more against the backdrop of snowflakes.

Lei Qingya welcomed him in, "Hello, Mr. Doug, please come in."

The fact that the other party came despite the wind and snow shows their sincerity in wanting to take Lei Qingya as their disciple.

Doug took off his hat and coat, hung them by the door, and went into the warehouse.

Looking at the scene inside the warehouse, it didn't seem like a real warehouse at all, but rather like a cozy and secluded secret base.

The air was filled with a faint medicinal scent of various materials. Two children with still-childlike faces sat side by side, and the Greenscale child seemed to be tutoring the other child with his homework.

Su Ninglong, whom I had seen in the principal's office last time, was now sitting on the windowsill, leaning against the wall, intently looking at the screen, which was full of dazzling code.

Is this something a normal child should learn? Obviously not.

She was a genius, a cool and intelligent woman, and Doug kept that impression in his mind.

His target wasn't Su Ninglong.

Su Ninglong obviously knew this, so she put away the light screen and said to Charlie and Sally, "Let's go out and build a snowman. Whoever builds the best snowman will get a Dingding Mouse doll and a small gem as a reward."

Sally and Charlie immediately dropped their schoolwork, stood up, and rushed outside to build a snowman.

Xingyuan smiled and turned to go to the yard to look after the children.

"Did you come here to become Lei Lei's master?" Su Ninglong asked.

“Obviously.” Doug turned to ask Lei Qingya for his opinion.

Lei Qingya considered for two days but still couldn't decide which teacher to follow, so she frankly said, "Mr. Doug, within the Star Alliance camp, I could only find out that your special abilities are expulsion, transfer, and creating 'black holes,' but there were no other detailed descriptions. Could you demonstrate them? I don't know if I can replicate your special abilities. If not, even if I become your apprentice, you might be disappointed."

Doug smiled with satisfaction. Lei Qingya hadn't been so eager to become an apprentice, nor had he been blinded by joy. That was good.

Lei Qingya: I simply don't want to waste my youth.

Doug had investigated Lei Qingya privately.

The daughter of the planet's richest man is well-mannered, has no criminal record, and is well-regarded by her friends. Her only flaw is some conflict with her family, which is not a major drawback and meets his criteria for accepting apprentices.

Her question was exactly what Doug had expected: "After I demonstrate it, will you be able to learn it?"

Lei Qingya looked at Su Ninglong.

Su Ninglong said, "Of course it's impossible to learn it, it's just a matter of whether or not one can learn it."

Even if you wanted to learn, you couldn't; there must be specific physical requirements.

Doug looked at Su Ninglong, then at Lei Qingya, and asked, "What's your relationship with Lei Qingya?"

"They're both multi-talented individuals, didn't you notice? I hired her as my assistant, and now you're unwilling to take on apprentices just because she's my assistant?"

Doug scoffed, "You kid have a way with words."

If he were so likable, he wouldn't have accepted Lei Qingya as his disciple, Su Ninglong rolled her eyes.

A black hole appeared in Doug's palm. "My ability can transfer and expel all things. Of course, there are other uses as well, but I can't explain the rest."

The black hole appears for a fleeting moment, deep and silent.

Su Ninglong stood up and walked closer to take a closer look. The black hole was so black that it seemed to be able to swallow all light. Staring at it for a long time would cause dizziness, which was probably due to the disparity in strength.

Relocation and expulsion are indeed very suitable for Lei Qingya.

Lei Qingya also looked at the black hole, but after only a few seconds, his eyes became unbearably painful, and he immediately turned his face away.

After observing for a while, Su Ninglong felt as if her spirit was being drawn in, and she felt confident.

"You can learn it; it suits you quite well." At the beginning of your cultivation, abilities with too much killing intent aren't suitable, but this one is good. It will definitely become stronger as you progress.

Lei Qingya went to learn, and later she was able to learn a thing or two from it.

Doug: "How can you be sure she can learn it?"

Su Ninglong said, "I am a multi-ability user, is it strange that I have some special abilities in judgment?"

Unable to refute, Doug glanced sideways at Su Ninglong, exuding the aura of a high-ranking person, hoping that the child would feel some fear towards him.

"The campfire is lit. Sister Su, come quick, Brother Yuan is making roast chicken."

"Brother Yuan, I want one, the whole one, no one else can have any." No way Su Ninglong would back down. She skipped and hopped out to guard her own roast chicken.

Only Lei Qingya and Doug remained in the warehouse.

Doug was annoyed. This kid, whoever he came from, wasn't afraid of him at all.

The thought was immediately suppressed, and he turned to Lei Qingya and said, "What do you think? If you are willing to be my student, I can give you extra tutoring in my spare time."

Openly offering private tutoring, Lei Qingya smiled gently and said, "Hello, teacher."

She had already decided that whoever came first and who had the ability to do so would become that teacher's student. Doug came first, so she went along with it.

Doug nodded, quite satisfied with his first apprentice.

After the interstellar fusion, the terms "master" and "disciple" were used much less frequently; instead, "student" and "teacher" were used instead.

Those who accept the relationship privately are considered to have a close master-disciple relationship.

They usually call each other "teacher," but the teacher will provide extra instruction, so the relationship between master and disciple is not very close.

"Teacher, would you like to join us for the bonfire party?"

"No, I still need to meet with a few other students." The Star Alliance has a large talent pool, and Principal Yan provided a list of students with similar special abilities. Doug wants to see if they are suitable.

Lei Qingya saw Doug off. As soon as Doug's figure disappeared into the wind and snow, Lei Qingya could no longer restrain himself. He turned around, hugged Su Ninglong, and spun her around. "Doug, Doug, who is known as the Hunter King."

Xingyuan smiled and said, "Then you'd better work hard. As Doug's student, you can't tarnish his reputation. I heard he's quite concerned about his image."

Lei Qingya froze instantly. "Concerned about saving face? Just like my father."

"It's okay, Lei Lei, just think of it as playing along." Su Ninglong was put down.

She quickly stepped back, holding a string of steamed buns to roast over the fire. Snowflakes drifted down, about to land on the buns, but she deftly shifted her wrist, avoiding the damp spot.

“There is no teacher-student relationship between you and him at the moment. If he is good to you, you should be good to him. If he is not good to you, you can treat him as an ordinary teacher and respect him.”

Lei Qingya thought about it and had no choice but to do so. She had only inquired about how powerful Doug was before, but had not investigated what he was like in his daily life. She guessed that she would not be able to find out anything even if she wanted to.

When the roast chicken was almost done, Sally taught Charlie and Suninglong to dance their traditional dance. Suninglong cooperated very well, learning one move after another.

Charlie was initially flustered, but due to his great progress in sports, he was able to jump after a short while.

The whole set of movements was very simple and primitive, and just looking at it made you feel wild. Sally and Suninglong danced around the campfire.

Sally sang strange syllables and began to move in the firelight.

After completing one set of movements, they did it again. The dance, which served as a prayer, was very tiring. After doing it again and again, Su Ninglong sensed something was wrong. There were fluctuations of spiritual energy around them, as if responding to Sally's prayer.

Surprisingly, it could draw upon spiritual energy. The concentration of spiritual energy slowly increased. Lei Qingya sat cross-legged on a waterproof cushion and began to meditate and cultivate. He couldn't let this opportunity slip by.

She already knew how difficult it was to walk the path of cultivation like Su Ninglong, and she needed to hurry.

Su Ninglong suddenly stopped: "Sally, when did your ancestors start dancing this dance?"

After the dance stopped, the spiritual energy did not immediately disperse, but gathered around the campfire, as if celebrating together.

“I don’t know. The dance was taught by the priests and passed down from generation to generation. The tribe has strict requirements for the movements. This is the simplest one. The tribe members who specialize in prayer dances will be drenched in sweat after performing a complete set.” Sally said, “If I hadn’t come to the Star Alliance Academy, I would definitely have worked hard to become a dancer like that.”

"Does your clan have a family tree? Or a record of major events?"

Sally nodded, "Of course! But the clan chief doesn't easily show it to us, because it needs to be preserved intact before it can be passed on to the next priest for copying."

That's a good habit. "I'd like to visit your clan chief when I have time, but I don't know how I can borrow the books."

“It’s very simple, you marry an ambitious young man from our clan.”

Xingyuan narrowed his eyes. His little ancestor was only four and a half years old; it was impossible for him to get married.

Su Ninglong shook her head: "No, let's try another one."

“I was just kidding.” Sally plopped down on the cushion. “The tribe is short of money. If you give them star coins, they’ll definitely agree. But don’t give them too much at once. They’re easily tempted to get something for nothing.”

Su Ninglong seemed to understand. "I understand. When I have the chance, I will visit your hometown."

"No problem, you must call me then, I'd be happy to be your tour guide."

……

Two weeks later, the earth was covered in silver, so white it was dazzling, and students gradually returned to school.

Lei Qingya gained a junior brother, a handsome fifteen-year-old boy named Xuan Xi.

His family background is similar to Song Hu's, but his family is more of a spiritualist family, with almost everyone in the family being a spiritualist, and half of them working for the Star Alliance.

After taking three lessons with Doug, Lei Qingya brought him to meet Su Ninglong.

Hyun-hee has no younger sisters, only younger brothers.

My little brother is fun, but once you have too many, he gets boring.

Su Ninglong fulfilled all of Xuan Xi's fantasies about a younger sister, so he liked her very much. After they met, every time he came to visit, he would bring her some candy and toys.

Su Ninglong was worried about the warehouse gradually filling up. She wanted to buy a house close to the school, but she didn't have much money on hand, so she had to give up on that idea for the time being.

After studying day and night for half a month, Su Ninglong believes that she can begin to implement the "Master's Doppelganger" plan.

They brought out the "fish lip" robot and the gorilla-headed robot that Lian Xinyi had sent.

They were placed in the workshop, side by side, giving off a comical and absurd clown vibe.

These two robots that have reappeared are still an eyesore.

Su Ninglong has no intention of changing their appearance; they're fine as they are, perfectly showcasing the "master's" unpredictable and unique taste.

Then, she began searching through the pile of pink stones.

After several days of purification, only a trace of ominous aura remained at the core of the Throat of Convergence.

Take out the core of the Gathering Throat, Summer Fragrance Wood, Fire Lizard's Fire Tail, Cockroach Wing Silk, and Ancient Fire Rock, among other materials.

First, she set out to remove the last ominous aura from the core.

The spiritual fire precisely invaded the core, and a wisp of black energy suddenly floated out, condensing into a smoke-like skull in mid-air.

It roared silently, shaking the entire workshop as if it were experiencing an earthquake, and the scene became distorted.

The smoky skeleton lunged fiercely at Su Ninglong's face, but was steadily blocked by an invisible spiritual energy shield.

Unwilling to give up, it launched another attack, but eventually collapsed from exhaustion and disappeared completely.

The workspace has returned to normal.

Su Ninglong coughed a few times, choked by the dust that fell from the ceiling, and opened the studio door to let the air circulate and disperse the dust.

Not far from the door, a group of children stood with their mouths agape, clearly terrified.

"Hello, foreign teacher." Su Ninglong sat on the stone bench outside the door with a smile.

The foreign teacher pointed at Su Ninglong and asked, "What are you doing now?" The girl in the workroom seemed to come alive and twisted around.

"It's just a slight distortion of space." Su Ninglong whistled. "Hello seniors, would you like to come visit my place?" The children were generally taller than her, and since they hadn't met before, they were obviously students from the previous year or the year before that.

The children were so frightened by the devilish smile on Su Ninglong's face that they took a step back, and the little rascals huddled together, hiding behind Yang Zhu.

One or two were eager to go over, but Yang Zhu picked them up and put them behind him, saying, "We have to go to class. Don't forget, those who don't pass this semester won't be able to see their friends anymore."

The children were persuaded to leave by the foreigners. Once they left, the dust in the workshop had mostly settled. Su Ninglong clapped her hands, entered the workshop, and closed the door.

After removing the cores of the two robots, Su Ninglong picked up the core of the Gathering Throat and began to smelt it, removing the impurities around it. The egg-sized core gradually turned into a fluid, further evaporating the excess material.

Su Ninglong prepared a furnace that could withstand strong pressure. Seeing the dark red fluid turn into a clear pink, she added the materials one by one.

As time passed, a grid-like golden pattern appeared in the fluid. Su Ninglong took out a pure white stone, which was a refined quasi-spirit stone with the function of a jade slip. Inside were all the results of her studies over the past few days.

Taking a deep breath, Su Ninglong calmed her mind and slowly transferred the contents of the jade slip into the pink fluid. Data was gradually injected, causing the fluid to fluctuate unstablely.
