Under Bai's immense strength, the underground chamber full of miscellaneous items quickly became neat and orderly.
"Having a mechanical servant is really convenient..."
Lin Lan nodded in satisfaction. Although his injuries were completely healed, Bai didn't give him a chance to lend a hand.
Looking at the neatly arranged items in front of him, his mood improved immensely. It had to be said, this adventure was truly rewarding!
He found no less than twelve nuclear batteries in perfect condition, ensuring he'd no longer have to worry about running low on power!
Mind you, the molecular recomposer in the study is a major power consumer. Synthesizing once not only requires a large amount of raw materials but also rapidly drains the nuclear battery.
These batteries should keep that big machine running for quite some time.
He picked up more than thirty pieces of activated metal composite material.
Varying in size, they were a dull grayish-white and currently stacked in the corner of the chamber.
In the Ideal City, this material is often used for building support, spaceship hull repairs, and crafting mechanical servant skins, whereas in the Lion Heart Kingdom...
Without proper technology, it seems the only use for these things was making weapons and armor...
There's an inexplicable feeling of wasted potential...
Lin Lan shook his head and picked up a small light beam cutter, examining it closely.
This company product is specifically designed for technicians, resembling a bright silver arm armor, about forty centimeters long, fitting snugly on an adult's forearm.
Lin Lan tried attaching it to his arm, and after Bai's explanation, he somewhat clumsily activated the cutter's working mode.
A dazzling electric light instantly danced across the metal surface!
The bright silver 'arm armor' expanded instantly, and joints of metal unfurled like a blooming lotus, revealing a cavity for battery placement in the tool's center.
Once a battery was inserted, a swirling beam of intense light erupted from Lin Lan's palm, finally stabilizing at an initial length of thirty centimeters.
"Wow, this is pretty cool!"
Lin Lan's eyes lit up, and he immediately attempted to cut the nearby activated composite metal. Deep blue sparks scattered in all directions, nearly blinding him.
Moments later, he concluded it could cut, but not quickly.
As for other ordinary materials, whether they were floor bricks or iron candle holders, they crumbled like tofu before the cutting beam.
This is no ordinary material tool; it's a light saber!
"Ha! Hah!" Lin Lan excitedly swung the 'light saber' in his hand, making indistinct sound effects with his mouth.
Bai stood quietly, observing her master, tilting her head.
Lin Lan's excitement quickly waned.
He turned off the cutter, looking towards the bionic mechanical servant torso on the counter. As Bai had explained, these torsos contained special power furnaces sufficient to keep the mechanical servants active for years.
Although the torsos were of blue quality, they currently served no practical purpose.
Once back in the real world, he needed to continue considering the development of his territory- he couldn't slack off...
"You stay here for now and keep an eye on these items for me."
While contemplating, Lin Lan casually instructed Bai before preparing to leave the chamber.
Bai nodded.
The lights went out, and the underground chamber grew dim.
Turning back, Lin Lan noticed the bionic maid's eyes still strikingly bright as she silently sat in the center of the room, like a dragon guarding a treasure.
Lin Lan smiled quietly.
Truth be told, Bai was the biggest gain in this adventure.
With dual A grades in strength and speed, and vast knowledge, she was undeniably a great assistant for exploring, and the only one he could pour his heart out to...
The vast and lonely world of the adventure needed companionship, and it felt good to have company.
Lin Lan returned to the study where sunlight streamed perfectly through the windows.
How should he utilize the items collected from this adventure...
He contemplated, opening the room door.
Instantly, a figure in a black and white maid's outfit appeared before Lin Lan.
A stranger stood at the door, her face raised with a stiff smile on her delicate features.
Damn! Did the mechanical servants from the Ideal City follow me to reality?
Lin Lan's eyes twitched in surprise; he almost cried out, but then noticed she carried a tray, her eyes filled with fear.
"Ah! Lord... I... am your new slave... My name is Linda..."
The strange maid spoke with hesitation, "Mr. Berge instructed us not to enter your study without permission. I knocked, but you didn't respond, so I waited outside... "
Lin Lan stared at her face and recalled!
The woman before him was one of the Northern Border slaves Charles once showed him.
He frowned.
Seeing the lord's expression, Linda seemed even more unsure, shaking slightly, "Lord... Please forgive my intrusion..."
"Don't worry, I don't intend to blame you."
Lin Lan's voice was calm, reassuring her slightly, and he called over the butler Berge, soon understanding the situation's background.
Thanks to merchant Charles generously paying the servant management fees, the homeless girls were left at the estate by the old butler.
"Lord, those male attendants are indeed quite rough when working."
The elderly, white-haired man bowed his head with genuine concern, "So I took it upon myself to recruit these girls for you."
Though the old butler was somewhat rigid, he had always been loyal.
Considering that all estate management had been handled personally by the elderly during this time, Lin Lan's expression softened.
"You've worked hard during this time, Mr. Berge."
He helped the old man up, "I agree to let them share your workload."
·
The lord's estate embraced a new scenery.
Lin Lan walked the corridors, watching maids in black and white dresses busily tending to spots the old butler couldn't reach, now spotless.
Though their expressions bore some anxiety, they dared not rest for fear their new master might abandon them again.
The somewhat tense atmosphere was suddenly dispelled by children's laughter.
A pointy-eared little girl dashed through the yard, stopping before Lin Lan with her hands on her hips.
"Lord Roland, Lisa wants to become a maid too!"
Lin Lan:...
Seriously, it's troublesome.
"Being a maid is very tiring." Lin Lan instinctively patted her head, "Let's talk about it when you grow up."
"But..."
Lisa looked serious, preparing to argue when a gentle voice came from behind them:
"Little Lisa, are you bothering Lord Roland again?"
Lisa's face turned pale, instantly obedient.
