Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

Dorothy folded her arms and sighed, "If I didn't trust our leader, I would doubt the truth of your so-called treasure map."

"It's a small error, don't worry about it."

Compared with the previous island world, city mezzanine and dragon skeleton cave, the style of this murder scene is indeed completely different, which Li Ang did not expect.

He originally thought it might be a gang's treasure trove or a warehouse of some organization.

"If you take another girl on a date in the future, don't bring her to a place like this, okay?

"Why would there be anything else?" Zoe asked.

The half-elf looked at Leon teasingly.

"Ahem, the clue I got is that the owner of this place had a basement, and it turns out he was killed because he was carrying a treasure."

Li Ang changed the subject: "There should be a passage in this room."

Andasu was standing by the wall. She had just been groping on the wall and now said, "Maybe it's over there."

She looked at Li Ang inquiringly, and after getting his confirmation, she walked to a hook on the wall.

She hung a robotic arm with a strap next to it on it. Everyone was confused as to why, but when they saw her hang another object on it, they realized that she was trying to add weight.

After enough things were hung, everyone heard a "click".

Then, White Wolf pushed the hook vertically with force, and it sank inward with a friction sound. Then White Wolf removed the heavy object, lifted the hook up, and after another metallic sound, he pulled it down again.

This hook will not move just by pulling it, it requires such complicated operations.

After a sound of a machine turning, a piece of oilcloth on the wall sank inward due to the flow of air, showing that the wall behind it was slowly falling.

“Wow, what a complicated process,” Dorothy exclaimed.

"How did you know?" Zoe asked curiously.

"I feel like the seam on that hook doesn't conform to the manufacturing principle, unless it can be moved. I've been trying to figure out how to move it."

"Thanks to you, otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort."

Andasu lowered her head slightly, a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, everyone. I lost my composure just now. I'm glad I can be of use."

Alulu smiled innocently at her and said, "It's very useful. It helps a lot."

Li Ang nodded. "Everyone has times when they can't cope, that's why we need a team. You're good at mechanics, so we'll have to rely on you for everything in the future."

"Team? I just need the master to keep an eye on me."

After Andasu finished speaking, she wagged her furry tail from side to side, and her eyes seemed to be focused on Li Ang.

"You!" Zoe frowned. "Even Dorothy is thinking about the team, and you're still trying to be the first?"

"Hey! What do you mean, even me?" The half-elf put his hands on his hips and said

"This is my goal." Andasu moved closer to Li Ang, and the skin of his wrist accidentally touched her smooth waist and abdomen.

"Am I any worse than you?" Zoe glared at Leon and grabbed his other hand.

"I even changed my appearance and clothes for my master."

"That's it?"

"I don't believe you dare wear that skimpy little piece of fabric."

"Of course I dare! I'll wear it when I get back! Can you and him——"

Li Ang raised his hand and said, "Let's go in and take a look first."

He quickly ran towards the basement door and escaped from the wild cat and the white wolf.

After lighting the adventure lantern and walking down a very high staircase, everyone entered a vast underground space.

This engineer built a huge space underground, and the entrance mechanism was quite sophisticated, so it was not discovered by those who killed him.

Or maybe just killing him would be enough, or maybe they already got what they wanted.

But since the system has marked this place, there should be other key information.

Andasu pointed out several directions: "We can light up there."

Leon fired a few balls of fire, and the lamp in the basement lit up instantly.

When the light descended upon this place, a giant appeared before everyone.

Zoe and Alulu exclaimed in surprise. The former rushed over with a gleam in her eyes and stroked the cold metal shell.

This is a mechanical golem, lying on its back against a wall made of large stone bricks. The heavy pressure has caused the brick wall to collapse and crack.

Its head is like an iron barrel, as are its limbs and torso, with cylindrical bodies connected by spherical joints. It doesn't present a stately armored shape or graceful technological curves, but it has an industrial aesthetic.

The dark metal had an extraordinary texture. Leon knocked on it and confirmed that it was an alloy made of some extraordinary metal. It would take a huge amount of effort just to create the body of this giant.

"Can it survive?" Zoe asked excitedly.

She probably meant whether it could be restarted.

"I'm not sure what kind of golem this is."

Leon looked at the sleeping steel giant. If it stood fully up, it might be ten meters high, and there might even be someone sitting inside it.

"Common golems include arcane golems and clay golems. I've summoned the latter before. The former are service units activated by magicians after engraving magic patterns on various materials. They can also be used in combat."

Whether it is magic pattern or engraving, it is a more simplified magic circle, which can obtain sufficient effect through less engraving consumption.

However, the principle of the mechanical golem is simple, but because it does not involve magic, Leon is not sure whether it was made as an engineering tool, a war weapon or something else. Moreover, the control method varies depending on the manufacturer's technique.

"I've seen you summon," Zoe said immediately.

She suddenly remembered the time when she was on Satus Island, just looking at Leon, and gradually immersed in it.

Li Ang walked over and touched her head.

Dorothy stroked her forehead and sighed silently towards the sky. Then she lowered her head and looked at Alulu, whose eyes were a little confused.

"They're really going too far, aren't they?" The half-elf smiled at the calf, trying to find some common ground.

Alulu remained silent and fell into her own thoughts.

"Wait a minute," whispered Dorothy. "You're not wondering what to do next, are you? Oh, I forgot you can run away, even a cow like you."

The half-elf waved his fist.

Li Ang turned around and looked for Andasu.

He suddenly thought that White Wolf should be very excited after seeing this mechanical golem, but he had not said a word since the beginning.

After searching for a long time, I found that she had already gone into the gap behind the golem.

"install?"

Le Ang called her twice, but the girl with animal ears at this moment turned a deaf ear to him, like a child who was completely obsessed with her hobby.

She suddenly felt very happy, shaking her big tail, and her graceful back rose and fell as the angle of observation changed.

In this situation, Leon let her go. He walked to a workbench not far away to see if there was anything else there.

As soon as I approached, the system made a sound.

[Hint: A rare class inheritance has been discovered, and is being imported... Import completed. The training strategy for the rare class: Mechanic has been generated.]

What is the training strategy for mechanics?

According to the system, this is a complete inheritance?

Leon glanced at the beast-eared girl who was still immersed in observing the golem with some surprise, and lowered his head to look for what triggered the system's message.

The notebooks on the table were opened one by one, and finally, it was confirmed to be a manuscript carefully written by the owner of the basement.

He recorded these words from the perspective of writing a book or biography, and wrote at the very beginning the title - The Path of the Mechanic: Forging the Divine Path with Machinery.

Wow, that sounds really confident. But since this is considered a complete mechanic inheritance, it means the owner of this basement is quite capable.

Li Ang put it away with a smile, then flipped through other notes.

He just saw some text and felt that what was mentioned looked familiar.

After reading it, we even know why the engineer died, and can even deduce a key part of his past with Shengdu.

204. Past Events and Old History

The Path of the Mechanic: Forging a Divine Path with Machinery

Foreword:

The development of Makena has gone astray. As the place where magical technology reappeared, it should have brought the entire Newbis into a new era. However, after Kalios Kekrus left Makena Island, it lost its enterprising spirit and became immersed in creating wonders and indulging in the convenience brought by consuming magical technology.

The Spiritual Core Committee, whose members were supposed to be selected based on skill and wisdom, was over half occupied by nobles who had gained status through manipulation of power and wealth. Throughout the island, voices were heard calling for a change of course, pursuing the path of conquest of Jerus Kekrus. Finally, these discussions were even formally discussed in the meeting. How foolish!

The Holy Sporil Empire had long since disappeared. The name of the Sporil Empire it had snatched from the Kingdom of Olin could not last forever. Even that original powerful empire was buried in the dust of history, indicating that conquering everywhere was a wrong choice.

But some people have begun to come into contact with the so-called Chalk Fortress. People with different ideas cannot work together. I, Cormac, will prove that only by popularizing engineering technology among the masses can we truly create glory.

The so-called God that everyone looks up to is also admired for his great deeds, not for boasting about his own achievements.

This volume is a summary of the experience gained from practicing this path, and is compiled to help fellow mechanics move forward smoothly on the path of becoming a mechanic.

Part 1: Choose Magic Technology or Engraving Enhancement?

Eight hundred years ago, the genius Kalios Kekrus, as an alchemist, analyzed the prototype of magical technology from the relics of ancient magical civilization, which led to the prosperity of Makaina today.

But after losing Kalios, people nowadays are merely reproducing his achievements in various forms. Because they have lost the original mentor's theory, creating new theories of magic technology requires tremendous effort and requires thorough thinking before diving into it.

The simplified engravings of the magic circle are the result of years of research in Qianta City. Although it can reduce the difficulty of traditional engines driving large machinery through magic, our engineers or mechanics are not magicians, and our understanding of magic engravings is very limited. This sometimes restricts our research and manufacturing, but there is still a lot of room for development.

I personally recommend that you learn about both in the early stages.

So, let’s start by explaining how to build cognition and start learning…

Li Ang closed the notebook and called Andasu over.

The white wolf jumped onto the golem and touched it all over, completely unaware of Leon's calls.

Li Ang shook his head, walked over to her and shouted again.

"Ann? Come and look at this, you need it."

The girl leaned over to peek at the mechanical structure in the gap of the golem's metal shell. Although her expression was as expressionless as usual, her shaking tail betrayed her good mood. The muscles on her back and the shadow lines between her spine were also very beautiful.

"install?"

Li Ang let out a sigh, there was nothing he could do.

He reached out and pinched the white wolf's big tail.

"ah!"

The animal-eared girl screamed in a cute voice, covering her back and jumping up.

"Master, master?"

After a pause, Andasu said, "You, if you like, you don't have to stay here."

Leon used the wind to lift her down from the golem, hit the girl on the head with Engineer Cormac's notebook, and handed it to her.

Andasu opened the notebook without knowing why, read a few lines casually, and immediately couldn't take her eyes off it.

Let her read it herself, and Li Ang picked up the other papers on the table.

Inside are the Engineer's diary, as well as the blueprints for his golem.

Leon showed the back page of the diary to Dorothy, who had just been standing next to him reading the diary: "Look."

"Ah."

She leaned on Li Ang without any hesitation, and the faint fragrance like nectar lingered around her.

Dorothy read aloud the key passage:

Today, I won the contract for the expansion of the Holy City. This is fantastic news. This project is led by the new head of the Cha'ain family, Sir Usain, who is attracting much attention. Many high-ranking individuals are also involved. The goal is to enrich the lives of the residents of the Holy City. Honestly, I don't care about that; just pay me for the project. This is my first significant income since leaving Makaina, and it will allow me to realize several of my ideas for the 'Armored Demigod.'

Dorothy seemed to be thinking about something. Leon asked her something and she said it was nothing. She stretched out her slender fingers and turned the page.

"December 294, 12. The power of the Armored Demigod has left many stunned. Naturally, it's the product of my dedication as a mechanic. In terms of absolute combat power, it still needs additional combat modules, but its inherent scalability and functionality are impeccable. Construction was completed in just a month and a half. Should the payment advanced by me and the other workers be settled?"

"December 294, 12. What's going on? The Chaaiin family, a noble family of such great rank, descendants of the guild's founder, the city's founder, actually wants to withhold wages from the workers and my compensation? Don't the other important figures involved in the planning and the Air Cavalry have the money? This is outrageous! I need to find the head of the Guild Affairs Committee or find a way to meet with a member of the Knights' Resolution Council. Fortunately, my account books and the foreman's account books are both evidence."

"January 295, 1. After the New Year, unidentified individuals have been lingering outside my workshop. This is not good. I need to use the remaining materials to build a combat module for the armored demigod."

This is the last page of the diary. Leon cast his gaze towards a corner of the basement, where a weapon arm that matched the sleeping armored giant in appearance and texture was placed on a large machine tool.
