Watching Mang Ke play with various second-hand mechanical parts in the "Armory," Lao Li led Feng Xue out of the room and whispered in Yan Country's language,
"Weren't you going to Palin with what's-his-name? Why suddenly come to me? Lucky it was me—anyone else wouldn't have been able to set this up so quickly!"
"Actually, the entry I was working on had already been set on the right track; the three Great Dream Realm Gods were in on it, and with Ke Ya's macro-control, there shouldn't be any problems. This place was actually a fallback I created the last time I came here, and this time someone took the bait..."
Feng Xue gave Lao Li a meaningful look, and Lao Li couldn't help but glance at Mang Ke, who was drooling over a mechanical hand larger than herself, and thoughtfully said,
"Is this mechanic the bait?"
"No, she's the fish, the school of fish," replied Feng Xue, drawing a circle with her hand.
