"Teacher, this is a brush designed by a student. Once the mechanism is activated, the brush will automatically roll under the drive of wind-attribute spiritual power."
"Teacher, this is a stove designed by the students. It has three intensity levels to provide different fire temperatures."
"Teacher, this is a sealed box designed by the students. Only by entering the correct password and activating the module can the box be opened."
At the workbench, the students surrounded Instructor Luo, taking out their modified props one by one.
Several students failed their demonstrations, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Instructor Luo sat lazily on the workbench, smiling and nodding, his eyes full of satisfaction.
The beastmen possess terrifying talents, the demons possess ancient divine arts, and the humans possess powerful wisdom.
Only wisdom can arm the human race to fight against the beastmen and demons.
The tools modified by the students, though rudimentary and even impractical, are nonetheless the result of the gradual development of all sophisticated large-scale machinery and destructive weapons.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Chen Ke's startled cry suddenly came from the other end of the work shed.
The students all looked in the direction of the sound, and then stared in disbelief.
Chen Ke was riding a strange two-wheeled vehicle, rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed.
That's not the important thing. The important thing is that the bike is on fire!
"On fire" is, of course, literally. The two wheels were already covered by swirling flames, and the wooden frame beneath Chen Ke was emitting black smoke, seemingly about to burst into flames at any moment.
After the initial shock, everyone came to their senses and quickly moved aside to make way.
call!
The burning two-wheeled vehicle, billowing thick smoke, passed through the students and crashed into the wall of the shed.
Bang!
The wall was smashed open instantly, leaving a large hole, and Chen Ke continued to speed forward.
Although his crotch was in danger of being burned at any moment, Chen Ke laughed heartily.
It's fun, really fun.
This heavily modified motorcycle offers absolutely no comfort, as the uncontrolled energy of the modules caused a fire and it's on the verge of falling apart.
Regardless, the motorcycle started moving.
Oh no, I can't turn around.
Chen Ke stared at a house in front of him and crashed right into it.
boom!
He was thrown backwards, and the motorcycle crashed into the stone wall, instantly shattering into pieces.
An elderly man who had followed them from the workers' shed calmly walked forward, looking at the burning wood scraps scattered on the ground while making notes in a small notebook.
After finishing his record, the old man glanced at Chen Ke, then turned and walked towards the work shed.
Chen Ke was astonished and followed them back to the work shed.
He said to Instructor Luo apologetically, "Instructor Luo, my attempt to modify the work failed."
Instructor Luo maintained his usual smile: "Chen Ke, your design is very interesting, but it also has many problems. If these problems are solved, it could be an excellent tool for modification."
Chen Ke nodded hurriedly. He had truly come to understand that radical modification was definitely not something that could be supported by a single idea.
Durability, safety, ease of driving, and comfort are all factors that need to be considered.
However, some parts are inherently conflicting. Taking all elements into account to ultimately form a cohesive system requires not only a significant amount of time but also thousands of tests.
Given Chen Ke's current skill level, it would probably take him at least ten or eight years to completely modify a motorcycle to his ideal form.
The more this was the case, the more Chen Ke felt awe and reverence for the creators of the Fuyou Shenzhou.
After Instructor Luo finished his comments, he handed a bill to Chen Ke: "Alright, this is a list of the items and modules you damaged, totaling 80,000 taels of silver. Remember to hand it over later."
Eighty thousand taels of silver?!
Chen Ke was astonished. It wasn't that he was short of money, but he hadn't expected that just a few simple modules would be worth 80,000 taels of silver.
Looking at the students watching the spectacle, he finally understood why they were laughing so gleefully.
Chen Ke had no choice but to accept the bill from Instructor Luo with a bitter face.
He originally planned to continue improving motorcycles in his spare time, but now it seems he can't afford to do it at all.
He finally understood why the buildings in the engineering school were all dilapidated; his commotion this time was relatively small.
The commotion caused by those geniuses in the academy will probably be even bigger!
A pleasant morning passed, which would have been even more pleasant if it weren't for the bill of 80,000 taels of silver.
With no classes in the afternoon, Chen Ke packed up and left the academy, then took a carriage back to the Chen residence.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
As soon as he returned to his small courtyard, Lichun and Liqiu exclaimed in surprise and ran over to him with great joy.
Chen Ke was overjoyed; he hadn't seen the two girls for several days and missed them terribly.
Where is Uncle Chen?
"Butler Chen went out early this morning; he has several properties to manage."
"Aunt Wu is here too."
"Coming, coming, young master, I'll go make you something delicious right away!" Wu Ma, the cook, wearing an apron, greeted him with a smile and then headed towards the kitchen.
With the addition of these familiar faces and the chattering of spring and autumn, the courtyard suddenly became lively and vibrant.
Chen Ke lay on a recliner under the shade of a tree, being served by two maids, so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.
Yes, this is the life I should be living.
Seeing Lichun and Liqiu busy at work, Chen Ke had an idea and thought of his plan to cultivate geniuses.
Standing up and walking into the room, Chen Ke called Li Chun in.
"Li Chun, sit down." Chen Ke, who was sitting cross-legged, pointed to the futon in front of him.
Li Chun looked bewildered, walked forward, sat down properly, and then looked at the young master with bright, curious eyes.
Chen Ke said seriously, "Lichun, do you believe me?"
Lichun nodded vigorously: "Young Master, of course Lichun believes you!"
"Now I will use the initiation technique to impart a secret art to you. Are you willing to accept it?"
The Initiation Technique?!
A secret technique?!
Li Chun was dumbfounded and timidly asked, "Young Master, have you been deceived?"
Chen Ke was speechless. This little girl actually thought he was a charlatan.
Chen Ke was too lazy to say more, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Close your eyes, I'm about to give you a blessing!"
As he spoke, he placed his palm on Lichun's head.
I felt inexplicably nervous, my whole body tensed up, and my long eyelashes kept trembling.
She didn't expect the young master to give her enlightenment; she only hoped that he would stop tormenting her in other ways.
However, something incredible happened. Li Chun was shocked to discover that there were indeed some new things in her head!
In a panic, she was about to open her eyes when she heard Chen Ke say in a low voice, "Don't open them, or all your efforts will be wasted!"
In one breath, Chen Ke transmitted all of Liu Men's medical skills, including alchemy, to Li Chun.
