My Players Are So Fierce

“Speaking of which, this is actually my first time meeting Ruyi.

That cautious person changed her face randomly when pinching her own face, making it impossible for me to see her real appearance.

Wow, she’s really cunning.”

“I’ve seen her~ Once had a meal with her in Europe, and it took me a long time to convince her to meet me.”

Nova whispered:

“I’ll send you a photo after we’re offline.

Ruyi is indeed a very spirited little beauty, but unfortunately, she’s a severe internet addiction girl.

She claims to be one of the best hackers in all of Europe, ranking worldwide.

To be honest, I was a bit skeptical, but later when I saw Ruyi could easily hack into Cement Sister’s facilities and communicate with her, I thought she might not be lying.

Oh, speaking of Cement Sister…

Have you guys contacted her recently?

I’m a bit worried about her safety.”

“No idea.”

Little Wei Ming said with a bitter face:

“Maybe Lady Shui knows, but she’s the most cunning and doesn’t catch on to this topic.

Lumina told me not to ask anymore, saying the situation with Cement Sister might be worse than we think.

Sigh, I’ve heard that Cement Sister was actually preparing to return to the country for research early on, but she often liked to use her research funds for some weird things.

Yet, she’s really capable.

This bad habit might have already tainted the reputation of others in her circle, but Cement Sister still managed to mix at that level, which isn’t easy.

Speaking of which, I also find Lumina’s chat group amazing now; only seven people in total, yet even the least skilled among us is a formidable entomologist…”

“Hey, you little guy with a nasty personality, that’s enough!

I’m happy you say I’m formidable, but I’m not happy when you say I’m the least skilled!

Aren’t you going to quickly take this newbie to clear a few dungeons and get some gear?

Being trapped on the battlefield, waiting to die is enough; I don’t want to experience that again.”

“Are you the new Engineering Apprentice?

Do you have any prior experience in this field?”

In the Blood Vulture Corridor of the Crimson Castle, the engineering laboratory that once belonged to Little Sheron had been commandeered by Old Flywheel.

When “Ruyi Knows My Heart” arrived here, Loyal Brother and his group of “Weapon Technicians” had just finished consulting knowledge here.

Their endless bizarre theories exhausted Old Flywheel greatly.

But the otherworldly blueprints they brought sparked Old Flywheel’s interest once more.

When Ruyi walked into the lab, she heard Old Flywheel ask her a question in a helpless and bored tone, while that half-body man engineering master was standing on a chair at the lab desk, writing and drawing, seemingly confirming certain dimensions in preparation for an astonishing engineering creation.

Faced with Old Flywheel’s inquiry, Ruyi neither answered yes nor no.

She brushed her waist-length hair, stubbornly retained despite being a half-body man, and stepped forward to place two items next to Old Flywheel with a snap.

The eccentric and sinister Old Flywheel turned his head to glance, finding that it was a dismantled Calculating Pearl.

Dismantling such a thing was not Ruyi’s original creation; Mengha had previously dismantled one.

The structure of a Calculating Pearl isn’t particularly complex.

Once you grasp the technique, you can easily use a Spiritual Energy tweezer to dismantle the Pearl’s body.

However, Ruyi’s technique was evidently more sophisticated, and Old Flywheel immediately noticed that the Spiritual Energy Factors inside the Pearl had been fully formatted, restored to their original state.

This piqued Old Flywheel’s interest right away.

He took off his large and heavy multifunctional Engineering Goggles, sized up Ruyi’s half-body man figure and face she had pinched out, tossed her a new Pearl, and said:

“For a skilled engineering mechanic, such a feat is not difficult, but you are obviously a newcomer to Transylvania, so, how did you do it?

Show me!”

With the translation module of the new Pearl, Ruyi understood she was facing an “entrance exam.” She picked up the Spiritual Energy tweezer and deftly dismantled the Pearl’s body, then performed an impact and wash action on it, saying:

“I asked a Psychic to give it a short high-power Spiritual Energy impact to achieve data reset, which is a very simple data destruction method…”

Ruyi wanted to explain further, but realized that without the Calculating Pearl, Old Flywheel couldn’t understand the complex language of the different world people.

So she explained with sign language briefly, finally pointing to the expert Adventure Assistant placed beside Old Flywheel, making a recording gesture.

“You’re saying you want to learn this?”

Old Flywheel laughed heartily, reassembled the Pearl that Ruyi had dismantled with a click, performed a “Spiritual Energy Factor reset” on it using his three-and-a-half-generation Core Bead, and tossed it back to Ruyi.

He nodded and said:

“You foreigners say you’re interested in engineering, but actually, most of you only focus on mechanical design and the debate over principles between the two worlds.

I admit, your side’s engineering concepts are refreshing, but it’s also regrettable that your engineers haven’t discovered the real mystery of steam engineering.

Your side also had the birth of difference engines, but unfortunately, regrettably, you didn’t continue down that path of mechanical calculation.

This is the biggest divergence between engineering in the two worlds.

The underlying logic of engineering lies in computing and numbers; pure mechanical design is merely a decorative facade.
