Chapter 454: Chapter 214 Mu Dan’s Little Crisis

What was it that made them listen to ’damn’ all night?

And what could it be that kept them up at this hour, their workshop little courtyard fully lit under the cover of holographic disguise?

Zhou Zhengde walked to the doorway, the gate had already been opened by Wang Jixuan using his Spiritual Sense upon his approach.

Soon, Zhou Zhengde was frozen in place.

Wang Jixuan wore a Protective Bracelet on his right hand that emitted a silver-white light; with a slight swing of his arm, the bracelet lit up with a pale blue light, and a hollow brick in front of him was enveloped by the blue light and disappeared.

Wang Jixuan handed the bracelet over to the people around him.

Zheng Shiduo kept swearing; he was the source of the continuous ’damn’.

Wu Man was also visibly shocked;

Shen Qionglin was playing with the bracelet fondly, carefully observing the intricate patterns on both the inside and outside of it.

She had immediately discerned that many of these patterns were ’complex decorations’, used to obscure the true ’Spiritual Energy Circuits’ and prevent easy replication.

Just this bracelet alone, the various circuits she could see at this moment were far more sophisticated and complex than the spiritual cultivation civilization circuits she had mastered!

Uncle Tai turned his head to look at Zhou Zhengde and cheerily said, "Captain Zhou... oh no, Director Zhou, you’ve come to inspect the work?"

Zhou Zhengde felt a bit embarrassed.

Although he was now the ’Director of the 82nd Fortress Reconstruction Office’, having been personally appointed by the General Command Center, and he had secured the position based on his own proposal with just a bit of leverage from his grandfather’s status,

but that didn’t mean people should shout about it everywhere.

Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning at all.

Zhou Zhengde couldn’t help but smile, then curiously stepped closer.

"What is this fine thing?"

"A storage tool," Wang Jixuan simply explained, "I can fit a five-foot cube, that is, roughly a side length of 1.6 meters, inside this."

Zhou Zhengde was taken aback, "What is its principle?"

Wang Jixuan: ...

I am an Artifact Refiner, where would I know the principles of Refining Skill!

"Roughly, it’s a utilization of spatial rules."

Shen Qionglin asked from the side, "May I study it for a while?"

"Later," Wang Jixuan seriously refused, "I refined this to conveniently carry portable nuclear bombs and various weapons, talismans, beneficial for fighting."

"Alright then," Shen Qionglin reluctantly handed the bracelet to Wan Xiaoqi, who was waiting nearby.

It was Wan Xiaoqi’s turn to express his amazement.

Zhou Zhengde watched the bracelet for a while and then watched Wang Jixuan teaching Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo how to activate it; Wu Man successfully completed the operation, but Zheng Shiduo, not very proficient in the fine control of Telekinesis (akin to Spiritual Sense), struggled for a while and still couldn’t store or retrieve items.

The crowd was excitedly gathered around the bracelet, studying it, but Zhou Zhengde dared not linger too long, seeing Wang Jixuan watching with a smile, he approached and pulled Wang Jixuan aside to a corner.

"There’s a rather tricky matter, I thought I really had to come and talk to you about it."

"What’s the matter?"

"Mu Dan’s side, cough," Zhou Zhengde pondered for a moment, "Mu Dan’s lead designer, who is essentially Mu Dan’s Creator, that well-respected Lou Xuping, Professor Lou, proposed to the Commander to destroy Mu Dan’s core program, and she’s very adamant about it."

Wang Jixuan frowned, "Why? Is there a problem with Mu Dan?"

"Apparently, there are major issues with both the personality test and stress test."

"Details?"

"I don’t know," Zhou Zhengde spread his hands, "they sent me to inquire about your stance; others were afraid to contact you, fearing you’d curse them."

Wang Jixuan snorted with laughter, "You’re not afraid of being cursed by me?"

"Brother, who’s more brotherly than us."

"Mu Dan hasn’t been destroyed yet, has she?"

"Of course not, who would dare to touch her without your approval?"

Zhou Zhengde murmured softly:

"I gather from my grandfather’s view, as long as you speak up, not to mention whether there is a possibility of a problem with Mu Dan, even if there really is, at most she would be disarmed.

"I’ve interacted with Mu Dan myself, and she really is just like a human."

Wang Jixuan seriously said, "The issue with Mu Dan, in essence, is that she has achieved spiritual nature. A human body is a vessel for spiritual nature, and so is she."

"Spiritual nature?"

"It’s complex to explain specifically, I cannot simplify it easily since I’m not an expert in this field."

Daoist Wang said:

"Tell Lao Fu to directly arrange for the upgrade of Mu Dan’s weapon system; I need her to return to the ranks as soon as possible.

"As for Professor Lou, if she wants to know the answer, you can tell her to come here herself.

"I should have some time tomorrow afternoon.

"The second wave of intelligence from Xing Dian is expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon, and then I’ll need to decide when to strike a covert attack on Xing Dian... cough, I mean, to launch a raid."

Zhou Zhengde slowly nodded.

He asked, "Should I relay this exactly? Do I need to polish the wording?"

"It’s best to convey my exact words," Wang Jixuan advised, "also, try to enhance the capabilities of the other seven drones as well, the enemy from Xing Dian’s side might be numerous."

"Okay," Zhou Zhengde nodded in agreement, glanced at the people still studying the bracelet, and then hurriedly left.

Wang Jixuan stood with his arms behind him at the doorway, reflecting slightly.

What problems could Mu Dan have?

Essentially, she was just that — a Humanoid Weapon that had birthed an Artifact Spirit, nothing more.

Shaking his head, Daoist Wang returned to the forge, observing the three almost fully-formed ’Artifact embryos’ inside; with a wave of his hand...

The people beside him did not notice his gesture, still using their scant vocabulary and rich tones to express their admiration.

Alright then.

Wang Jixuan himself went upstairs, moving out a brand new set of blacksmith tools.
