It was the fourth day after Zhou Yan started learning Yuyan Liaoluan, which was also the seventh day after he returned from his walk.
Night time.
Zhou Yan put down his chopsticks after finishing his meal and was about to say goodbye and return to the martial arts hall in the main building, but was stopped by Luo Xuan.
"Zhou Yan, don't leave in a hurry. I have something to tell you."
Zhou Yan sat back in his chair and looked at Luo Xuan curiously: "What's wrong?"
The girl hesitated for a moment, then spoke directly: "Zhou Yan, because of your strength, I didn't intend to let you participate in something, but I didn't expect you to improve so quickly. Now I can ask for your opinion."
"Huh? What's the matter?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.
"In a few days, the Lihuo Pavilion in Yicheng will organize ten cities under its jurisdiction, a total of nearly seventy Nanming Sword Halls, to hold an exchange meeting."
Luo Xuan paused and said, "It's called an 'exchange meeting', but it's actually an 'exchange competition'. Each sword hall owner will bring the strongest students in their hall to participate. Elite students who perform well in the competition can accompany the hall owners to meet the inspectors from Suzaku Palace at the end of the month."
The girl's eyes flickered. "Although you haven't fought Yan Yong and Luo Zhiming since that day, it's clear that your strength has surpassed those two. I plan to invite you to participate. What do you think?"
After listening carefully to Luo Xuan's words and digesting them a little, Zhou Yan quickly understood what she meant.
And he also remembered that before his first walk, Luo Ke had told him about something that had been worrying Luo Xuan recently - there was an important person coming to inspect the top floor of the sword hall, and each sword hall would try to have its elite students compete for exchange places and fight for the opportunity to meet the important person.
And if the elite students sent by the sword hall are too weak and are easily defeated by other sword halls, it will also bring shame to the hall owner.
Now it seems that this is what Luo Xuan told me.
Seeing Zhou Yan pondering, Luo Xuan thought he was thinking about the pros and cons, so he said softly: "Zhou Yan, the annual inspection of the entire area of Suzaku Palace not only includes the purpose of training talents in the seven main cities, but also devotes resources to some talented core students."
"No need to say more." Zhou Yan interrupted Luo Xuan and said, "Xiao Xuan, I have not been able to use the secret sword I learned from you on anyone else. Yan Yong and Luo Zhiming are not qualified to taste it."
He looked at Luo Xuan's softened eyes and asked with a smile, "What level of elites are there in that 'Exchange Competition'?"
Luo Xuan tilted her head slightly and said slowly, "There are a few lower-ranked people whose level is similar to Yan Yong and Luo Zhiming. They are good players among ordinary people, but they have not even mastered the secret sword. There are a lot of middle-ranked people whose physique and skills are not inferior to yours. They have at least mastered one secret sword skill. There are very few upper-ranked people whose all-round strength is stronger than yours. They have basically mastered all the secret sword moves, and even..."
She glanced at Zhou Yan and said, "Some elites may even be taught breathing techniques by the sword hall master in advance to further strengthen their physique, making them extremely difficult to deal with."
Zhou Yan nodded: "I understand, just like you taught me the breathing method in advance."
Luo Ke, who was listening with great interest, immediately exclaimed in a low voice: "Sister, you secretly taught Zhou Yan the breathing method without permission?"
Luo Xuan glared at her and turned her head away from Zhou Yan: "I didn't teach him, he learned it on his own."
"Yes, yes, I learned it secretly."
Zhou Yan shrugged helplessly.
This cold and aloof kendo genius is actually quite tough.
He smiled and stood up, saying again: "Okay, then Xiaoxuan's matter is settled. I'm going to go train first. I feel very stressed when I think about facing the real elites of other sword halls next."
"Wait a moment!"
Luo Ke suddenly raised his hand and stopped Zhou Yan's actions again.
"Xiao Ke, what's wrong?" Zhou Yan looked confused.
Luo Xuan next to her also looked at her sister curiously.
This girl is always startled, which is a headache.
In recent days, he has been hiding in a corner and tinkering with his things in a mysterious manner. He went out for a while yesterday and came back with a backpack on his back. I don’t know what was in it.
"Hey, hey, hey~" Luo Ke withdrew her hand. "Since Zhou Yan has officially agreed to participate in that exchange competition and has also learned the breathing method, today's ceremony has a strong sense of ceremony. I might as well join in the fun."
As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Yan: "Zhou Yan, wait here for a moment. I'll go upstairs and get something down."
Without waiting for Zhou Yan's consent, she ran upstairs. After a while, she ran downstairs again, holding a rectangular box almost one meter long in her hand.
With a thud, it was placed on the table in front of Zhou Yan.
"Zhou Yan, guess what's inside?" She looked proud.
Zhou Yan looked at the long box in front of him and tilted his head to think for a moment: "Is it a weapon? A sword?"
"No no no, hehe ~ you definitely can't guess it!"
Luo Ke stretched out her little hand and waved her index finger playfully: "This is what you need most right now!"
The most needed thing
Zhou Yan tilted his head to think about it, then happily raised his left arm without an arm and said, "If possible, I want a left hand, haha~"
He has now slowly accepted the fact that he is disabled and can even make fun of himself at will.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ke was stunned for a moment, and then scratched his little head violently.
Σ(O皿O)
She looked unhappy and opened the box, muttering angrily, "Zhou Yan, did you peek when I wasn't paying attention?"
The box was opened, Zhou Yan's eyes moved down and he saw directly what was inside.
His pupils trembled several times, and he was lost in thought for two seconds before finally speaking in a hoarse and low voice.
"Is this what Xiao Ke did?"
Luo Xuan looked over curiously and couldn't help but pause.
"Divine machine. Instrument?" She whispered the four words.
In the box, there is a sci-fi-like robotic arm quietly placed. Judging from its size, it can cover about half of the forearm. The overall color tone is gray and black, with yellow-green paint intermittently.
Luo Ke chuckled, reached out and took the mechanical arm from the box and placed it in front of Zhou Yan.
"See? This is the first product made by the genius girl who will be studying in the ace major of Suzaku University, the Department of Divine Machinery. There is only one of its kind in the world. I name it - Luo Hand Prototype!"
As she spoke, Luo Ke put her hands on her hips, with an expression that said, "Praise me now."
(ω)
Zhou Yan looked at the innocent and lovely girl, and then glanced at the robotic arm in front of him.
So, this girl has been secretly tinkering with this "prosthetic limb" these days and then giving him a surprise?
He blinked hard.
Then, he gave a gentle smile to the complacent Luo Ke.
"Xiao Ke, this may be the best gift I have received in a while."
In response to Zhou Yan's extremely solemn thanks, Luo Ke gave him a heartless smile.
"Hey, Zhou Yan, do you think I'm awesome?"
You didn’t expect that I would add more chapters to the new book. I’m so kind!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 42: Divine Machine Luoshou
"Hey, Zhou Yan, do you think I'm awesome?"
Luo Ke didn't care about Zhou Yan's restrained emotion, she only wanted to get praise.
Zhou Yan was silent for a few seconds, rubbed his face, and then praised sincerely: "That's amazing, Xiao Ke, you are simply a genius."
Luo Xuan, who was standing next to her, finally calmed down from her surprise. She pointed at the mechanical arm, looked at her sister and asked seriously, "Xiao Ke, did you really do this by yourself?"
"What else?" Luo Ke said proudly, "Sister, don't forget that I am a top student. For this kind of simple-function magical machine, I can just refer to some drawings, order some materials, and arrange a simple transmission circuit, and I can make it."
Luo Xuan stopped talking, but a rare, relieved smile appeared on her face.
She knew that her sister had been a mechanic fan since she was young and had a talent for it.
But I didn't expect that his talent was so high.
If it is said that Luo Xuan is a genius in swordsmanship.
The younger sister Luo Ke was only seventeen years old and not even an adult yet, but she could make this kind of equipment independently.
His talent in mechanics is probably no less than hers.
"Divine machine?" Zhou Yan stared at the metal arm in front of him and curiously repeated the term that Luo Xuan and Luo Ke had mentioned several times.
He asked curiously, "Why does this robot have such a strange name like 'Divine Machine'?"
"Shouldn't it be called something more conventional like 'prosthetic limb'?"
When Luo Xuan heard Zhou Yan's question, she shook her head and pointed to the back of the robotic hand.
Zhou Yan looked in the direction of her finger and saw a special symbol on the back of her hand, like a dragon with wings on its back.
"It has the mark of Yinglong, which means that the core of the machine's operation uses the 'divine machine circuit' approved by 'Yinglong Palace', rather than the conventional circuit machine. This kind of mechanical creation is collectively called 'divine machine'."
Luo Xuan said lightly.
"So that's how it is. I understand." Zhou Yan nodded thoughtfully.
He previously thought that compared to Earth, this world only had the addition of the wonderful concept of "martial arts".
However, I didn’t know that there is a concept called “divine machine” which is different from conventional technology.
When he first knew that Luo Ke was a major in the "Divine Machine Department", he thought that the so-called "Divine Machine" was just a nickname for "machine" in this country.
'It seems that there are still many things in this world that I need to understand.'
Zhou Yan thought silently.
Luo Ke didn't care too much. She impatiently pulled Zhou Yan up and picked up the mechanical arm: "Zhou Yan, come and try it to see if it works."
Zhou Yan stood up obediently, staring silently at Luo Ke's excited little face, and raised his left arm according to her instructions.
Then he watched Luo Ke press a position on the inside of the robotic arm.
The next second, the originally completely closed robotic arm expanded outward as a whole.
Then, Luo Ke pinched Zhou Yan's left arm, calibrated it, and put the mechanical glove on it.
She pressed the button again, and the unfolded robotic arm slowly contracted until it was perfectly connected to Zhou Yan's left arm.
It was as if his left arm, from half of his forearm to his entire palm, had turned into a mechanical creation.
Luo Ke chuckled, bent his knuckles and tapped the mechanical hand that had been equipped. Listening to the crisp metal sound, he said to Zhou Yan with great interest: "Zhou Yan, how does it feel?"
Zhou Yan nodded. He raised his left arm in front of his eyes, turned his elbow and wrist, and looked at the palm he had again. He couldn't help but smile.
This looks much better.
Luo Ke tilted her head: "Zhou Yan, don't just look at it, move your hand."
Move a little?
Zhou Yan's eyes flickered. He stared at the mechanical hand and asked softly without saying anything, "Can I move it? What should I do?"
Luo Ke chuckled, as if it was a matter of course: "This is a divine weapon. If it can't move, isn't it no different from an ordinary arm armor?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pinched the inside of Zhou Yan's forearm: "Come on, use your strength and tighten this area."
Zhou Yan did as he was told.
Then his eyes widened immediately.
As his forearm tensed, the metal mechanical palm changed from an open state to a clenched fist state!
Moreover, depending on the degree of tension he holds, it can be clearly seen that the degree of tightening of the fist is also different.
"This is amazing." Zhou Yan was shocked and couldn't help muttering to himself.
He couldn't help but raise the mechanical hand in front of his eyes, and kept trying to tighten his forearm muscles, admiring the sight of the black and gray palm grasping and releasing, and he felt that it was pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it.
Although it was just a cold metal palm, he could not feel the touch of a real palm from the prosthesis in front of him.
But when I was about to resign myself to my fate and accept my current disability, I suddenly received such a gift.
It was hard not to be surprised.
On the contrary, Luo Ke beside her didn't look very satisfied. She pinched her chin and shook her head helplessly: "Unfortunately, the knowledge I have now is only enough to make a fist like this. It's not as flexible as a real palm."
"Also, due to insufficient funds, this prototype is not yet perfect. I need to regularly maintain and lubricate it. Remember to ask me to maintain it.
"This Luo's hand has a grip of more than 50 kilograms after clenching into a fist. Although it is not as strong as your right hand, it is enough for daily life.
"Also, the grip of this palm consumes electricity. Zhou Yan, remember to take it off and charge it before you go to bed at night. The charging port is on the side of the back of your hand.
After rambling on, Luo Ke lightly snapped his fingers and patted Zhou Yan on the shoulder: "Hey, in short, Zhou Yan, this is just a prototype. You can use it for now. When I go to college and learn more advanced knowledge about divine machines, I will help you upgrade this Luo Hand."
