Chapter 1416: Chapter 1417: Say It or Not

The number of visitors to the Mechanical Castle is quite large, especially recently, with many manufacturers attracted by the construction of a new ship. Many come, first, to understand the preferences of the Eye of Platinum, and second, to seek inspiration—new mechanical innovations also rely on occasional flashes of insight.

The robot responsible for the explanation is somewhat insufficient.

"Does that set of pink armor look good?" Yan Jiayu pointed to a set of pet mechanical clothing in the children’s mechanical hall, which is an auxiliary mechanical outer armor developed to allow disabled pets to move freely.

"I think Da Mao doesn’t need it." Xu Huo turned his head and faced a pitch-black face.

Yan Jiayu showed a mouthful of white teeth, "But it’s very pretty."

Xu Huo checked the price on the Collection of Information Terminal and showed it to her, "It’s still for sale."

Yan Jiayu’s liking for it was immediately discounted upon seeing the price. She turned her head and made a gesture to the dispersing Tu Xiaoxiao, then said to him, "Take your time, we’ll be back later."

Xu Huo nodded, "If you need help, just let me know."

Yan Jiayu made an "OK" gesture, put on the protective hood again, and squeezed into the crowd.

Xu Huo continued to walk along the exhibition corridor.

This mechanical castle is a very ancient castle, with more signs of renovation than Rose Castle, but it is much larger in scale. From the floor plan, it can almost be described as a group of ancient castles, conveniently located in the center of Fifth Avenue, surrounded by other government institutions and some important buildings.

Besides all kinds of domestic machinery and robots, there are quite a few weapons on display inside the castle, including that New Energy Cannon previously lent out by Bai Kou, which has already been updated as an old product. The latest Energy Cannon has now reduced its size while ensuring its original lethality, even shorter than an arm.

In addition, there are various reconnaissance, defensive weapons, and various jammers.

Xu Huo saw that S-rank Jammer used by the gentleman player inside, with related introductions in the exhibition projection.

Advanced instruments like this with a wide coverage range and excellent effects are mostly consumables, which means they can’t be reused like the jammer Xu Huo purchased, which specifically targets spatial power. The more versatile the instrument, the more limitations it has.

For example, the jammer used by the gentleman player is named Black Pigeon K27, capable of seizing control of general robots and interfering with Spatial Instruments and props. Because it has dual functions, it’s a consumable, usually only usable three to four times before being completely scrapped.

Of course, thanks to the spatial interference effect of Black Pigeon K27, similar Spatial Artifacts can affect it.

In general, many weapons and instruments developed by the Eye of Platinum require no threshold to use; even ordinary people can use them—whether due to limitations on the instruments and weapons or because the materials of such tools inherently cannot be reused. The simpler the operation, generally the more expensive the consumables are, especially weapons. Most thermal weapons can’t be stored in luggage compartments, though the New Energy Cannon gets through a loophole, but its price is even higher, costing millions per use.

Many visitors are highly enthusiastic about machinery, but in the face of such prices, they can only sigh in vain.

However, some component design blueprints are attached nearby, and many manufacturers are interested in studying how to achieve the same effects while cutting costs.

Xu Huo walked along the corridor into a small adjoining lounge. Outside was a small garden, where the sound of water dripping could be faintly heard. He hesitated for a second outside before stepping in.

The moment he entered the small garden, the surrounding buildings instantly disappeared, replaced by a pitch-black space, with a ticking sound of water coming from afar, also echoing under his feet.

Looking down at the spreading water ripples at his feet, Xu Huo lifted his feet and walked inward.

As he walked, circle after circle of ripples radiated out and gradually collided with the ripples coming from ahead. The ripples on both sides merged and created new patterns, gradually covering the vast black space.

In the distance, there was a gate made of overlapping gears of varying sizes, standing alone in the darkness. The sheen reflected off the silver metal illuminated a significant area in front of the gate, showing that the ripples formed by water droplets were coming from behind the gate.

Xu Huo approached and gently knocked on the gears on the door. The interlocking gears began to turn, accompanied by the unique mechanical "click" and the door slowly opened.

Unexpectedly, inside was a sea of flowers.

At the same time, the sound of water droplets became more pronounced.

Parting the flower bushes, Xu Huo struggled to walk inward and finally found the source of the water sound deep in the sea of flowers—it was a tree requiring a duo to encircle, with the trunk and leaves in varying shades of purple. Numerous branches drooped down from the tree crown, resembling a willow tree, and at the end of each branch was a slender bud; the drops were flower nectar falling from the hanging blossoms.

The frequency of flower nectar droplets isn’t high; beneath one blossom, a crystal cup was placed, almost half full.

Xu Huo moved around the purple tree and saw the woman half-reclining behind it.

She was half-leaning on one side of the divan, her head resting on her long, outstretched right arm. Several drops of the continuously falling flower nectar from the tree fell on her arm, trickling down her dangling fingers and onto the ground, but she wasn’t concerned, or perhaps unaware, as her eyes remained tightly closed, seemingly asleep.

Her sleeping posture wasn’t good, with the blanket that should cover her long since slipped to the ground, taking half of the black skirt’s hem along and exposing her slightly curled feet. Her long black hair, like satin, draped over half her body, intertwining with the same-colored gemstones on her dress. For a moment, it’s hard to discern whether the soft sheen came from the gemstones or her black hair.

The fragrant aroma in the flower sea and the faint mist rising around the purple tree added a unique dreamy beauty to the scene. Xu Huo quietly appreciated it for half a minute before picking up the blanket on the ground, intending to cover her. That’s when the person on the divan suddenly opened her eyes, looking coldly at him, "Want to die?"

"Not for the time being." As their eyes met, Xu Huo’s gaze held a hint of amusement.

Bai Kou sat up and took the handkerchief from the side, casually wiping her hands, "Why have you come to the Eye of Platinum? Have you been to District 001?"

"I already acquired He Pu’s legacy." Xu Huo laid the blanket beside and stood at one end of the divan, speaking to her.

"Is that so?" Bai Kou noticeably paused in her breathing but didn’t pursue further about what that legacy entailed.

"Aren’t you curious about more detailed information?" Xu Huo said, "The item He Pu painstakingly concealed from you ought to have its special value."

Bai Kou raised her eyes, her gaze even colder, "Say it if you like."
