Chapter 4 (1/2)
Ye Zhong was chomping through the roasted Rat meat, while staring at the blueprint of Mu Shang's internal engines. Ye Zhong had spent countless of efforts pleading with Mu Shang for it. The blueprint was such a sight to behold, Ye Zhong thought to himself. Since the time that his foster father had trained him in mechanics, Ye Zhong was close to a professional, yet he was still dazed after reading this. No other options, gotta deduce step by step. Doing that made him appreciate the designer of such a machine even more.
After spending half of a day observing, Ye Zhong's eyes were strained and finally looked away from the blueprint. Seeing Mu Shang sitting silently aside, he couldn't help but taunted it ”Mu, stop wasting your time. It's not easy to breach this transferring station. My dad had tried a lot of times, but never once succeeded.”
Mu Shang was still unmoving, as if he didn't hear a thing that Ye Zhong just said.
Old habits die hard, Ye Zhong stared at the blueprint, and rambled ”Mu, it's not like I told you to give up since it's an impossible mission. What I meant was that you can use that time of yours to help me out a bit here. I have glued my eyes to this tattered blueprint for half of a day, and I can't figure out a thing. The one that designed this sure is a genius, hohoho, splendid, splendid!”
”Breached in successfully” - said Mu Shang out of the blue.
Without any changes in his expression, Ye Zhong still fixed his sights on the blueprint, and asked without paying much attention ”Huh? Breached in successfully? When did you learn to make a joke? Ha, not bad, not bad. Actually, you are making progress. But hey Mu, when you fail at something, just say so. Especially with such an impossible task, you are obviously doomed. Noone's gonna laugh at you.”
Mu Shang ignored Ye Zhong and went on ”Farr Region weekly important news broadcast: the Hui Tan Floating City has started its citizen admission process. The first batch of new citizens will enjoy these following privileges …|”
Ye Zhong paused for a bit, even his hands froze, then looked up and said in astonishment ”You… You really succeeded it?”
Mu Shang replied smoothly ”No doubts about it.”
Ye Zhong carefully rechecked ”Are you sure?”
Mu Shang responded ”I am sure.”
”Hahaha, I finally know what's going on in the outside world, I finally know what's going on in the outside world!” Ye Zhong jumped up in excitement. ”Bang!” he hit the ceiling hard with his overpowered leap. However, he seemed to be unaware of his pain, and just continued running around the house ecstatically and exclaiming his mood.
Mu Shang's voice resounded, ”Ye Zi, have you completed your preparation?”
That startled Ye Zhong, and he soon cooled off. He drew a deep breath, and replied, ”It's done”
As soon as he had finished his sentence, the whole scene in front of Ye Zhong transformed dramatically.
Ye Zhong shook his head, feeling a bit nauseas. Mu Shang's voice echoed in Ye Zhong's head ”First-time users usually experience nausea. It's a common occurrence. No bodily harm was caused.”
Ye Zhong understood a bit, and started to look and a.s.sess his surroundings.
The first thing he saw was a screen of light that was created by several rays crossing each other. As if those dazzling lights were alive, they were constantly flowing and changing, generating different colours.
His sense of sight was immensely stimulated, and that stirred up feelings that he had never experienced before.
