The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 71, Small Ecological Space

"I'm Xia Mian, the new doctor." Xia Mian said.

"Nata, stay away from her." Xier said and then looked at Xia Mian, "You don't smell like a human being."

"?" Natasha moved away calmly.

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Xia Mian scratched his head.

"Hmph! Your weight is not consistent with your appearance. It feels like metal. And you smell like metal and grease, not the sweat smell that people in the lower class often have." Xier said.

"Even Nata's smell is indispensable."

Only Xier herself consciously eliminates her own scent because she often needs to sneak.

"So this is where the flaw is." Xia Mian said, "It's still a little inexperienced."

In fact, it was not due to lack of experience, but that Xia Mian did not notice Xier at the first time, and the psychic magic did not cover her in time, resulting in a flaw in his own psychic disguise that was discovered by Xier.

Otherwise, Xier would subconsciously ignore the unreasonable things under the influence of Xia Mian's spiritual power.

As he spoke, Xia Mian also removed his psychic disguise, revealing Xia Mian wearing inner armor.

"Whether you believe it or not, I have no hostility towards you," said Xia Mian.

"···What are you?" Xier couldn't help but ask.

I have never seen anyone who looks like this (referring to the ears and tail).

"How rude... little guy." Xia Mian's eyes became dangerous.

Having said that, Xia Mian hugged Xier in his arms, and then pulled her face upwards. Xier had no power to fight back at all.

"Can you tell us what's going on?" Natasha asked after confirming that Xia Mian had no hostility.

Xia Mian also felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told his story.

"Tinale? A person from another world. Your situation is really..." Natasha couldn't help scratching her head after hearing this.

"So you mean the husband?"

"My husband is still accumulating power armor at the original place. According to him, when teleporting over ultra-long distances, he will feel insecure without power armor. After all, who knows what he will encounter during the teleportation process." Xia Mian said.

"The message we used was a piggy bank tamed by my husband."

Xia Mian called Xiaofeng and then told the two of them about Xiaofeng's situation.

"I originally wanted to wait until I gained trust before revealing my true colors, but I didn't expect that because I was a little careless, I was discovered by a little girl." Xia Mian complained.

"Hmph~ The main reason is that you're too heavy. Even Nata with her own howitzer isn't as heavy as you." Xier said bluntly with a slightly swollen face.

"That's true. My inner armor alone weighs more than 150 kilograms, and I weigh more than 100 kilograms." Xia Mian stroked his ear.

"Hiss~ It's so heavy, aren't you tired?" Although Xier was aware of this, after hearing how heavy it was, she and Natasha still took a breath of cold air.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." The inner armor doesn't even affect Xia Mian's speed.

The really heavy one is the power armor. When fully loaded including the weight of weapons, it weighs 14.3 tons, and it weighs 13.3 tons when empty. The Forgate is lighter, but it weighs 13.8 tons when fully loaded, and 13 tons when empty.

The few of them then reached a consensus through friendly communication that they could help Xiamian obtain a base, but Xiamian also needed help. Well, this ““ mainly refers to the people in the lower areas, and at least the basic order construction must be completed.

"Tell us about what's happening over there. Are there butterflies over there?" Xier, who has no last name, stared at Xia Mian.

"You little girl." Xia Mian laughed dumbly. "Next time you write to my husband, you can ask him to bring you some butterflies."

The atmosphere between the two sides instantly became more harmonious.

On the other side, the Bufadi Mansion.

"Mond's dragon disaster? Another dragon disaster? Is it a wind-attributed dragon this time? The people of Mond really have suffered so many disasters." Alechino sighed as he browsed through the intelligence of the Fatui.

"What are the kids doing...do you want to go and take a look...forget it." Alechino had some idea of ​​his own deterrent power.

The children will definitely be scared again if they go there.

"Let's go see what old guy Fugate is doing."

Alechino put down the information in his hand and used the psychic magic wide-area detection to check it.

Fugate was not in the Buffati Mansion, which was normal. In recent years, as long as the smelter produced ceramic steel that met Fugate's standards, Fugate would not appear in the Buffati Mansion for nearly half a month.

At this time, you can find him in the smelter's studio. If he is not in the smelter's studio, he should be in the theater, the Obi Klay Theater, or even the Gray River Black Market.

Of course, it is also possible that he ran to find monsters or something to vent his anger.

As for the skill of engraving runes, Alechino really had no idea. Engraving more than a thousand runes in a palm-sized space was something that not everyone could do.

It was fine when Xia Mian was here, and Fugate would make trouble for her. Now that Xia Mian is gone, he is just full of anger.

But Alechino had heard that recently Fugate had tortured the Fontaine nobles to the point of extreme ecstasy.

In other words, I heard that the Grand Inquisitor, Villette, was alarmed some time ago, otherwise, it is estimated that Fugate would continue to torment those people recently.

Well, although Alechino had never tried Villette's strength herself, Fuget had given her some basic knowledge about it.

Xia Mian could fight with Villette only after he put on the power armor. At other times, even if he was not killed instantly, he could not fight with him for more than a few moves, because even if Villette was not in his prime now and the power of the ancient dragon was not complete, he was still not a weakling at the level of the demon god.

In the system's rating, it is LV118, which is very close to Mr. Zhong of the Wangsheng Hall's LV120. The Great Compassion Tree King was only LV119 at his peak, and the Little Grass King is only LV107 now, and neither of them is known for their combat power.

Even if the unarmored Alechino used all his strength, it would probably only take a few more moves for him to fight against Villette.

So after attracting Navillatte's attention, Fugate disappeared.

Fugate never jokes about himself.

Arlecchino eventually cornered someone at an opera house that Fugate frequented.

"Let's go! Let's go and have some sparring. Didn't you say that you have recovered to your best recently?" said Alechino.

"What do you have to do? I have plenty of things to do." Fugate said speechlessly.

"Let's have a fight to relax." said Alecino.

Fugate looked incredulous. Are you relaxing?
Shouldn't relaxation mean listening to music, playing with cats, and enjoying delicious food?

Your family relies on fighting to relax.

Well, Fugate thought of Arlecchino's childhood, for whom innocent, harmless fighting seemed... indeed... relaxing.

"Okay, then let's have a fight. Don't use psychic energy or elemental power. They are too powerful and it won't be good if they cause a big commotion." said Fugate.

What they need now is to keep a low profile.

It would be bad if I summoned that emo-loving water dragon.

"Okay, then let's have the competition in the underground training ground of the Buffati Mansion." said Alechino.

"Yes, it's a good opportunity to show those little guys how to fight with weapons." Fuget also agreed, "Let those little guys stop staring at the evil eye all day long. It's not a good thing."

Alechino acted decisively and immediately told Linny and Linnet the news through psychic communication.

Let them organize the manpower and clear out the largest training ground in the basement of the Buffati Mansion, and at the same time summon most of the members of the Hearth House around the Fontaine Court.

······
"As far as weapons are concerned, your use of the sickle is better than mine." Fugate said, holding a one-handed knife.

"Today is a simple competition of weapons and skills. Since you chose the knife, then I will choose the one-handed sword." Alecino said as he picked up a blunt sword.

"Thank you for being considerate of an old man like me." Fugate said with a smile.

A few years ago, Alechino was better at using a one-handed sword, but now... he is better at using a sickle and a spear.

"I will not show mercy," said Alecino.

Linnie coughed twice and said, "Then Linnet and I will be the referees of this game."

"Now I announce ~the competition~"

"start!"

Fugate very naturally put the one-handed knife in front of himself.

There was a loud metallic roar and Fuget was chopped and sent flying.

However, Fuget did not lose his balance, but flew backwards very smoothly. "That's not how you use a sword," Fuget complained.

As he said this, he cut out with the knife lightly, and Alecino appeared under Fugate's knife, as if he had bumped into him.

"Prediction?" Alechino frowned.

"Character model algorithm." Fuget turned his head away with a bitter face, and the sharp sword wind blew his hair all over the place.

"I didn't realize you were so agile." Alechino's attacks were dodged repeatedly.

I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

So he started to get close to Fugate and started to play short.

He used both fists and swordsmanship, and occasionally kicked Fugate.

Fuget's flawless swordsmanship has been pushed to the limit. He can use the opponent's force to counter attack, eliminate force, and even the legendary air control circle.

In the pure field of martial arts, although Fuget is a bit of a novice every day, his talent is really great. As long as he has an idea and it is indeed feasible, Fuget can use it in a flash of inspiration.

A little bit of perfection will reveal the secret.

After obtaining the inheritance of the Five Immortals, Fugate's foundation in this area has become even deeper.

However, few people could force Fugate to do this in the past.

"What kind of trick is this?" Alechino was a little upset by the air circle. This guy Fuget really has so many tricks.

But fortunately, he learned one for every Alecino he showed. He just learned the force elimination, but this air control circle is really difficult to learn.

Alechino couldn't learn it just by feeling.

"It's just a pure martial arts concept. The so-called air control circle is to create a territory for yourself within the reach of your body. Every move of the enemy that enters the territory is under your control. You can make corresponding reactions, intercept the opponent's attack, counterattack or evade it."

"Under this situation, it is difficult to get hurt, so I call the air control circle the injury-free circle."

"Hmph!" Alechino blinked and began to use the air circle.

"Hey, hey~ You are too unreasonable." Fgate could have fought back, but after Alecino comprehended the air control circle, he was completely unable to hurt Alecino.

"Then don't blame me for being rude."

"Attack!" Fugate relaxed his whole body and swung the knife in his hand gently forward.

Arlecino seemed to suddenly sense the danger and hurriedly parried with his sword.

But before he could defend himself, his entire body suddenly burst out with elemental power and quickly retreated.

A strong airflow burst out from Fuget's knife, and the edgeless sword was broken with one blow.

"How cunning," said Fugate.

Alechino touched the blood on his forehead and asked, "What kind of trick is this?"

"It's force elimination," said Fugate, "or the reverse application of force elimination."

"I lost." Alechino said cheerfully.

"How much did you remember?"

"One percent!"

"Less than 10%." The children of Hearth House said one after another. Although they had all taken intelligence development potions, everyone's potential was obviously limited, and without treatment, most people's potential had not been developed.

Therefore, the degree of learning is also different. Among them, several powerful members of the Hearth House have mostly learned 20% to 30%, three original gods have learned 40% of non-ultimate swordsmanship, and the rest have learned at most 10%.

The difference in talents becomes very visible to the naked eye after being developed by intelligence development drugs.

"Not bad." Alechino was quite satisfied with everyone's harvest.

This sparring battle may sound short, but in fact the two fought for quite a long time, for more than three hours.

Mainly because there is no elemental power, it will not be easy to determine the winner in a battle.

Moreover, Fuget was very slippery, and Alechino often couldn't hit him.

But even so, after the two of them finished their competition, each of them had more than a dozen cuts on their bodies. These cuts were not caused by swords or knives. The swords in the training ground were not sharpened. They were the result of sword and knife energy.

Just with this skill of wielding a sword and a saber, if placed in the Liyue martial arts world, even without the blessing of elemental power, he would be considered a hero at least.

"Chief Instructor Fuget has worked hard today." Alechino wiped the sweat off his face and said to Fuget.

"Alas, don't come to me for this kind of thing next time." Fugate said with a wry smile. He really didn't like fighting, even though he knew it would make him stronger.

"Thank you for your hard work, Chief Instructor." Linny and others also said.

"Later, I'll have to trouble you to write down the various mysteries of this duel." Alechino said.

"Okay." Fuget said with a wry smile, "I was born to be a hard worker."

This time, Fugate used quite a few secrets, but fortunately most of them were martial arts secrets, which were relatively easy to write.

Most of the knowledge only involves the transformation of strength and power, and there is relatively little idealistic content.

If it is the secret of using elemental power, it will be more difficult. There are too many subjective aspects and many things cannot be explained clearly.

The simpler martial arts secrets this time are character model creation and using the opponent's force to counter attack.

One of these relies on observation and knowledge, the other on guidance.

Then there is the power of defense, which requires a technical foundation to master.

Then comes the more difficult air control circle, and finally the most difficult attack and elimination force.

Both require talent to master.

After listening to Fuget's introduction to the offensive and defensive force, Alechino learned it after just a few tries. It was like rubbing Fuget's brain on the ground.

The existence of attack-dissipating power is very terrifying. Alechino said that after learning this technique, he felt that the power of his normal attacks was three times greater.

However, since he was not very proficient in this technique, it was sometimes effective and sometimes not. Moreover, this secret required the body to be absolutely relaxed, which Alechino simply could not do.

Fugate could do it with a few minor adjustments.

Fget then took the time to write down the principles of the mystery, and also wrote about how to better practice the mystery.

As for more, there are none. Fugate also learned it suddenly. There was no step-by-step training process.

If Fugate had more free time, he might expand it.

But unfortunately, Fugate's idleness is just an appearance. The real situation is that Fugate is terribly busy.

Especially recently, I have to be busy not only with the power armor matters of the smelter, but also with learning how to build an ecosystem.

He promised to build a small ecological space for Xia Mian, so he studied very hard.

At present, a small independent ecological space bubble of about 60 acres has been built.

This space bubble was fixed by Fugate inside a small crystal ball. The diameter of the crystal ball was only three centimeters, so Xiaofeng could carry it for the jump.

The entrance and exit are fixed on the base, and the crystal ball is also equipped with a sunlight simulation device, a weather control device, an intelligent detection device, and so on.

You can freely control the weather in the ecological space bubble and monitor the growth of plants.

The energy is supplied by Athos material, but Fugate has set up a variety of energy supply methods, and other energy-containing materials can also be used for charging.

In addition, the land in this space bubble was blessed by His Majesty the King of Grass and His Majesty the Grass Dragon King.

The land is very fertile, and if the energy supply is sufficient, it will automatically generate various trace elements to ensure the fertility of the land.

However, this space bubble is not without disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it can only grow some common medicinal herbs and plants, and the planting environment for precious medicinal herbs cannot be met.

This is also a topic that Fuget is still working on, but for the time being this should be enough for Xia Mian, so Fuget did not continue to study it, but only studied it occasionally.

After making the small ecological space, Fugate spent most of his time engraving runes on his power armor, which was the most labor-intensive part.

Fuget often gets a little emotional when he's doing this, and he has to kill one or two Fontaine nobles before he can feel better.
