Universal Mechanic

After a while

Lin Changye: That’s right, just relax your hands a little and don’t be so tense. But on the other hand, you must mobilize the strength of your whole body.

Mu Xingshuang listened to Lin Changye's teachings and imitated his movements.

Lin Changye: Don’t try to imitate my movements. Use them as food to develop your own style.

Mu Xingshuang: ...It’s so difficult.

Lin Changye: So I didn’t ask you to do it right away. What I’m teaching you now is the Chinese Tai Chi sword, which is used to train your basics. It’s pretty good. Okay, that’s it. You can practice it by yourself first. Ask me if you have any questions.

Mu Xingshuang: Okay.

Then Lin Changye walked up to the others who had already set up the barbecue grill and three tables of food and spoke.

Lin Changye: You guys are living quite comfortably.

Luo Yuan's mouth twitched and he said: Captain, would you believe me if I said that it was just Charlotte and I drinking and chatting at the beginning?

Lin Changye: ...I believe it, that's why you became like this when I wasn't paying attention.

Luo Yuan: How should I put it, Xiaoxing asked for some food while drinking and then Fang Mengtie showed up with Xiao Mingqin. Then Xi Qiling came back and said something to Li Yisheng, who then brought Li Fenghua and Chu Yunqi over. Anyway, more and more people came and it became like this. By the way, Xiaoxing is now sleeping with his tail curled up.

Lin Xinglin: zzz.

Chu Yunqi: Xiaoxing can’t drink much. He can’t drink even a little bit.

Lin Changye looked at the dozens of bottles piled on the ground and said: Don't bully her, she can't drink as much as you do. By the way, whose bottle is that emitting the smell of medicine?

Li Fenghua: That’s the medicinal wine I brought. Let’s have a cup to replenish ourselves. Everyone can have a share.

As Chu Yunqi spoke, she quickly poured a glass of wine for Lin Changye.

Lin Changye took the wine glass helplessly and said: Let’s just have one glass.

Li Fenghua: It doesn’t matter, just one cup will have the effect. By the way, I will adjust the proportions and give the child one cup as well.

Lin Changye: Thank you.

Li Fenghua: No need to thank me. Instead of thanking me, you might as well drink the medicinal wine quickly. It's just a little bitter. It's normal for good medicine to taste bitter. Just think of it as eating raw Coptis chinensis and swallow it.

At this time, behind Li Fenghua, Li Yisheng used magic to write a few words in the air.

Li Yisheng: It’s very bitter, don’t hesitate and just swallow it!

Lin Changye:…….

Lin Changye swallowed the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Lin Changye: ... What on earth did you add, Fenghua? This wine can even penetrate my sword energy.

After saying that, Lin Changye took the sweet tea and fruit pie prepared by Chu Yunqi to wash away the bitterness in his mouth.

Li Fenghua: Well, after all, medicine is three-quarters poisonous. I should say that my medicine is more or less poisonous.

Li Yisheng: This medicine is indeed very effective, but its bitterness is beyond the human limit. Even Luo Yuan has cut off his sense of taste.

Luo Yuan: When I saw the wine turning purple, I knew it was not good. After all, Fenghua is not like Li who would deliberately adjust the color. With Fenghua's personality, anything he makes that is this color is usually bitter.

Li Fenghua:...It seems to be true?

Li Yisheng: Sister, please have some self-awareness. However, Xiaoxing may not be able to wake up in a short time if he is in this condition.

Fang Mengtie: After all, she fainted from the bitterness. Maybe because it was Fenghua who gave her the wine, I didn’t think too much about it.

Li Fenghua: ...I suddenly feel a little guilty.

Charlotte: There’s nothing I can do. After all, Fenghua’s medicines are basically bitter.

Li Fenghua: Good medicine tastes bitter, and Xiaoxing is very tired, so it’s a good opportunity to let her take a nap.

Li Yisheng: The accumulated fatigue is quite a lot, otherwise how could the dragon's body be so exhausted?

Lin Changye: ...So what's wrong with what I taught her? Ji Qianhua is obviously not a workaholic.

Luo Cangyue: But Xiaoxing doesn’t seem to feel tired at all.

Lin Changye: Anyway, this is a good opportunity for her to have a good rest...but her expression looks a little too miserable.

Luo Cangyue: Then I'll take her inside to rest? My singing should help her sleep more peacefully, and I'm tired too.

Lin Changye: Then I’ll leave it to you, Cangyue.

Luo Cangyue: It’s okay.

As he spoke, Luo Cangyue used a stream of water to lift Lin Xinglin up and brought her back to the villa.

Seeing this, Xiao Mingqin also put away the recipe in his hand and said: "I'll come too. There are so many people, so I can try some set meals. By the way, Louise, can you help me buy some ingredients? There are a few dishes that are not enough, but Xiaoyu is not here, so I can only trouble you."

As he spoke, Xiao Mingqin wrote a shopping list for Louise.

Xiao Mingqin: They are all common ingredients, so they shouldn’t be difficult to buy.

Louise took the shopping list, took a look at it and said, "I understand. I will prepare all the ingredients in half an hour."

Xiao Mingqin: Thank you. We’ll leave first. You guys can put away the barbecue grill.

Fang Mengtie said while biting the barbecue: Don't worry, we will take care of it.

Xiao Mingqin: Then you guys just look forward to dinner, I promise it will be luxurious.

Fang Mengtie happily waved the fork in his hand and said: I'm looking forward to it.

At this time, only a few people were still drinking and barbecuing.

Lin Changye said while eating apple pie: By the way, Charlotte, have you finished all your work?

Charlotte: Basically, everything is fine. After all, I don't have any property. I mainly want to borrow your name, captain. Of course, I know my limits.

Lin Changye: I’m not worried about this. When you guys call for help, you’ll definitely call Luo Yuan first and then me.

Luo Yuante sighed exaggeratedly: Look at my hard-working life.

As he spoke, Luo Yuan had switched from alcohol to energy drinks and was drinking through a straw while playing video games on his game console.

Lin Changye: How dare you say such things in your current state?

Luo Yuan: I earned this through hard work, but Captain, won’t you teach her the swordsmanship you use?

Lin Changye: No, my swordsmanship is centered around controlling sword energy, and she doesn’t even have a solid foundation, let alone sword energy. So the most urgent task now is to find out what style that silly girl is good at so that I can teach her the appropriate swordsmanship.

Luo Yuan: I thought you wanted her to do her own research?

Lin Changye: I'm not Luo Xiaoyao, so I'm not that exaggerated. Speaking of which, did that bastard leave a mark when he ran into the void? I don't want to look for him in that kind of place.

Xi Qiling: That guy ran away just after I left. When I asked his subordinates, they just said that they were afraid that we would catch him.

Luo Yuan: Who else except the boss can drag him back?

Lin Changye: I guess he is afraid that Anna will drag him back, because I can only fight him 50-50 at most, so if he really wants to run, he can still escape. But if Anna takes action, he will have no chance to escape.

Charlotte: But instead of going to the void, it would be more convenient to find an existing passage, right?

Lin Changye: I guess you are planning to build a passage to the small world at the end?

Li Yisheng: But if he really builds a passage here, it will be quite convenient for us.

Chu Yunqi: So I still have some special-grade Elf Stones with him. I can use those Elf Stones to reconnect the contract.

Li Yisheng: Can you do it?

Chu Yunqi: Of course, after all, elemental elves won’t die so easily. But the prerequisite is that Yue Qiance hasn’t used it. I told him at that time that he could use it.

Lin Changye: With his unshakable character, he probably won’t use it.

Chu Yunqi: That’s true. But as long as there is one left, I will be able to make good use of the contract. If it doesn’t work, I will have to go to the elemental realm. Theoretically, they will find me as soon as I go in.

Li Yisheng: But as soon as you go in, you will be torn to pieces by the runaway energy, right?

Chu Yunqi: I'm not that weak. With the elves around, this isn't too dangerous, but how to move is a problem. Even with the elves protecting me, it's hard to use other elements in an elemental realm, so it's difficult to move.

Li Yisheng: How about you team up with Cangyue? It will be safer to go to the water elemental layer this way.

Chu Yunqi: ...No, I should go to the earth element or wind element realm. These two realms are the easiest to pass through.

Li Yisheng: Really?

Chu Yunqi: Because the water element is the one causing trouble for the four elemental realms. The water elemental realm is the crystallization of the materialization of the rules of water. Therefore, the diversity of water is quite obvious in the water elemental realm. Although the water elemental elves are very nice to me, they are not so good-tempered towards other elves or people. Haven't you noticed that some water elemental elves don't approach Sister Anna at all, but instead approach you?

Li Yisheng: Really? I know that sometimes elementals hang around me, but why don’t they stay close to Anna?

Chu Yunqi: After all, she is always surrounded by holy light. Some timid people are scared away and some simply think it is too bright and don’t want to get close to her.

Li Yisheng: Then why are you getting close to me?

Chu Yunqi: Your authority is the moon's gentleness and beauty, and the moon is quite attractive to water element creatures.

Li Yisheng: Really? But it is indeed more convenient and faster to use water-based forbidden spells.

Chu Yunqi: After all, elemental elves are like accelerators. With the help of elemental elves, the casting speed will naturally become faster and stronger.

Just as the two began to discuss magic,

Lin Changye: How is the new camera used?

Xi Qiling: It is much better than those sold outside! Even if I take pictures while moving, the pictures are still clear, but there is a risk of overheating when taking continuous pictures.

Lin Changye: After all, it is clear with AI assistance. As for overheating, it is caused by the AI ​​acceleration processing program. Just change the material or make smaller movements and it will be fine. However, if you change the material, the camera may be too cold.

Xi Qiling: Then I'd better adjust it myself. By the way, Captain, can the Royal Knight Lancer be modified to include a rapier mode?

Lin Changye: ...It's not impossible, but the weight won't change and for the sake of the material's sturdiness, the greatsword form has to be cancelled.

Xi Qiling took out the Royal Cavalry Spear and Sword and said: Okay, then Captain, please help me modify it. I'm not used to using the greatsword.

Lin Changye: Okay, I'll prepare a replacement sword blade and you can just replace it.

Charlotte: Then add me as captain too!

Lin Changye: You want both? Then I might as well prepare one for each of you. How about this? I'll prepare some replacement blades for you all tomorrow. I think it would be easier for you to replace me instead of having you asking me for new ones all day long.

Fang Mengtie: That’s true. Especially my weapons and armor will be severely damaged.

Xi Qiling: It's a lance after all. Although one strike from you can at least kill half of the opponent, the prerequisite is that the weapon must be sturdy enough.

Lin Changye: So the sword I made for Fang Mengtie is solid and reinforced. If you can still break it, you can only ask Zhu Rongnian for help.

Fang Mengtie: You can’t blame me for feeling the sword is a bit heavy.
