Chapter 531: Chapter 372: Steam Spirit, Miss Wendy!_1

This steam spirit, newly born and called Wendy.

Turned out to be a bit more timid than Tuck had anticipated.

Plus, the deterrence of Tuck’s effortless crush of a ninth-rank steam spirit.

Soon, she spilled the beans, rambling on about everything one could and couldn’t, should and shouldn’t say, resembling a well-behaved and bowing person under someone’s roof.

True name: Wendy Isa Oberlein Charles Dickley... Frando!

Tuck hadn’t expected this seemingly unremarkable steam spirit to possess such a long and tongue-twisting true steam name.

And this also meant that with a normal promotion, she was at least a master spirit.

The range of her steam domain was wide enough, with enough territory occupied, that becoming a legendary steam spirit wouldn’t be a big issue.

Even becoming a god was possible.

Steam spirits with high-end steam attributes like hers were few and far between.

For most steam spirits, reaching master-level was already the limit. Many steam spirits were even captured and killed early on.

As with the recent situation, if Tuck hadn’t protected her, it was highly likely that she would have met her death.

The war of steam spirits was incredibly brutal; on the unknown side of things, there was also the cruel slaughter among steam spirits themselves.

But from this, one could also see that the foundation of the Steam Sequence was extraordinary.

That’s precisely why the Three-Eyed God Spiritual Nation and the Seven Demigod Kingdoms were all fully promoting the Steam Sequence.

Because these powerful beings saw the potential of the Steam Sequence.

Just as Tuck had surmised, Wendy was born in a remote steam city-state.

The living conditions of the residents in that city-state were quite meager, and often their wages weren’t even enough to cover basic expenses.

After Wendy was born, her innate compassion led her to lead many city-state residents in resisting the oppression of the transcendent nobles.

And then... she was exiled.

She wandered along the steam star paths for a long time.

She was discovered while stealing a Steam Core in the nearby Demigod Arumov World.

And then... she was hunted.

What followed were the events that happened just recently.

After listening to Wendy’s story,

Tuck quietly reflected.

"She’s rather wild, I just don’t know how deep her wildness runs, seems... inexperienced, but she could be nurtured. At least... she’s much better than those steam spirits who look down on the Steam Sequence as an inferior one, with their nostrils flaring up to the sky."

While Tuck was pondering his next steps,

"Um... are you serious?"

The steam spirit girl Wendy, looking about fifteen or sixteen, gazed at Tuck with her bright, watery eyes.

"About what?" Tuck paused.

"About what you said before, that if I’m willing to help you manage the steam of this world and form a Steam Core, you’ll let me live here without causing me any harm."

"Hmm? You agree?"

"Ah... is there a choice not to?"

Wendy shrank back slightly.

"If I don’t agree, you might..."

Seeing the hint of slyness in the corner of her eyes,

Tuck rubbed his brow.

"Smart, but not overly so, and she doesn’t seem quite as dull and timid on the surface, indeed, wild steam spirits are tricky to raise."

Tuck waved his hand, removing the confinement spell.

He made way for the path to the Steam Altar.

"My ritual is cooperative, not coercive. If you really don’t want to, you are free to leave!"

That was indeed the truth.

Tuck had no desire to keep a troublemaker in his Steam World.

"Really?" the steam spirit girl Wendy blinked and asked.

"Really!"

With Tuck’s nod,

The steam spirit girl Wendy dashed into the Heroic Spirit Altar at the fastest speed.

"Buzz..."

With the lights of the Steam Altar ritual shining, the steam spirit girl Wendy was about to be teleported away.

She then waved to Tuck.

"Mister, goodbye!"

Then her figure flickered and vanished, disappearing from sight.

Looking at the empty altar,

Tuck rubbed his brow: "Heh... I thank you for your politeness!"

"I’ve stepped into the world of transcendent cultivation for twenty or thirty years now, indeed not a short time," Tuck pondered!

As the steam spirit girl left, Tuck remained still, just quietly waiting.

About five or six minutes later.

"Buzz..."

The altar’s light flared up once more.

The water-blue steam heroic spirit girl reappeared.

"So, you really would have let me go!"

The steam heroic spirit girl Wendy, who came back, hopped down from the altar excitedly.

She then began to curiously inspect the surrounding world,

Grabbing clumps of steam with her hands, tossing them into her mouth, and chewing and swallowing them heartily.

Then, from her nose, ears, eyes, and atop her head and so forth, came the low, whistle-like sounds of steam whistles.

"Delicious, delicious, it’s been so long since I’ve tasted such interesting Origin Energy Steam."

"The steam ecology, the World Tree ecology, and the Bug Race ecology, all completely blended together, this taste is so strange, so delicious."

"And the steam ecology here is different from any steam ecology I’ve seen before, it feels like... as if everything has merged into the world of steam ecology."

"Wow... this Flame World Tree looks like it can be upgraded quickly."

"These Shark Insects... huh... how come they also possess Steam Ecology attributes?"

"Are they part of the Steam Sequence too?"

The completely relaxed Steam Spirit "Wendy" excitedly examined everything around her.

Especially the Steam Shark Insects that greatly sparked Wendy’s interest.

Moreover, the Steam Shark Insects were also very interested in Wendy, swimming around her body, making Wendy giggle nonstop.

Watching the Steam Spirit frolic and sprint around with the little Steam Baby Shark Bugs.

"Hmm... let’s let her adapt to the local ecosystem first!"

"Only after she takes an interest in this place and becomes familiar with everything around can we continue to the next step of our work."

"Otherwise, the work that follows will only be torture."

"And... with the Steam Spirit here, things are just different."

"Even if she does nothing, just by living here, she’ll naturally guide the huge ecosystem to produce Steam Cores."

"As the ecosystem gradually expands, these Steam Cores will not only fulfill my needs, but they might also be exported."

However, Wendy was obviously not the kind of purely playful Steam Spirit that Tuck had imagined.

On the third day after the Steam Spirit Wendy arrived.

Tuck was cultivating within his Steam Tall Tower Nest.

Steam Spirit Wendy knocked on the door at the top floor of the High Tower.

After Tuck opened the door,

he saw a touch of seriousness on her youthful and refined face as she solemnly looked at Tuck and asked,

"Mr. Tuck, can you tell me why it’s like this here?"

In the past few days, Tuck had used the network of Steam Shark Insects to learn that the Steam Spirit Wendy, while playing, had explored the Steam Shark Insect Nest.

She had explored the Steam Flame World Tree.

She had explored the vast Steam Ring.

She had even visited the broken ruins, the frontline defense zone at the Cabin Gate battlefield, and the stationing area of the Steam Shark Insects.

Finally!

This willful spirit born from the Steam Ecology.

She sensed the differences between the Steam World Ecology here and the external Steam Ecology.

After inviting Wendy into the house,

Tuck took a deep breath and looked at her calmly and naturally.

"Exactly which aspect would you like to inquire about?"

Wendy looked directly at Tuck and spoke very seriously, word for word,

"Your Shark Insect Ecology has completely merged with the Steam Ecology, the Steam Shark Insects are part of the Steam Ecology, and they can even be considered a miniature steam circulation system."

"The same goes for the World of Flames Tree outside. I feel that the ecology of the Flame World Tree is transforming into a new species with Steam Ecology attributes!"

"Why is this happening?"

After listening to her explanation, Tuck exhaled softly,

"The Steam Spirit’s sense of smell for Steam Ecology is indeed extraordinary."

Then Tuck slowly said,

"It truly is marvelous, but... is there a problem?"

"There is a problem, a very, very big problem indeed!"

In an instant, the young Steam Spirit Wendy stood up excitedly, gesturing with her small hands as she spoke,

"The essence of Steam Ecology is to use Origin Energy Steam to develop its own Steam Ecology."

"This requires the construction of Steam Ecology facilities, Steam Engines, Steam Factories, Steam Towers, and so on."

"No matter what, hard conditions are needed to maintain it."

"But this place is different..."

The young Steam Spirit Wendy spoke more and more seriously,

"Here... the power of steam has completely, thoroughly penetrated and even merged with other ecologies."

"This place doesn’t need Steam Factories, doesn’t need Steam Towers, and certainly doesn’t need any Origin Energy Steam Engines."

"All that’s needed is the expansion of the Bug Race ecology, just the outward growth of the Flame World Tree and the ordinary Wizard Towers."

"Then... the Steam Ecology of this place will expand unceasingly."

"The Steam Ecology of this world... it has developed unimaginable vitality."

"It is a higher form of Steam Ecology."

Tuck listened to the young lady’s narrative and gained a deeper understanding of the new "Steam World" he had built.

Afterward, Tuck said lightly,

"I can assure Miss Wendy with certainty, if you are willing to sincerely help me promote the ecology of the Steam World,"

"then... in the future I can guarantee that the steam territory you oversee will all have such ecological attributes."

"Becoming a Master-level Steam Spirit, a Legendary Spirit is not a problem."

"Even, in the distant future, making you... ascend to godhood."

"This power... is actually not difficult for me."

Tuck flicked his finger slightly.

The power of the "Steam World" danced at his fingertips!

"Ah!" Steam Spirit Wendy exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.

Her eyes were fixed firmly on Tuck’s finger,

on the very familiar power that could leverage both steam and the world’s ecology.

After a long while, Steam Spirit Wendy bowed to Tuck,

"Mr. Tuck, I am very pleased to cooperate with you."

"So what do we do next?"

After the shock and turmoil in her heart, the Steam Spirit quickly returned to her lively and joyous demeanor.

"To create Steam Cores and plan to spread the steam throughout the entire world. Can you do that?"

"Mr. Tuck, you underestimate us Steam Spirits. This is a very, very, very simple thing for me!" Steam Spirit Wendy said earnestly, clenching her small fist.
