"Oh, you want to learn this skill from me?" The old man looked at Ye Chong, and could not help but be tempted. Ye Chong's demonstration of his mastery of mechs had earned the old man's admiration. Hei Zi looked at Ye Chong in surprise. If Ye Chong could stay, then he would have one more person to consult! All this while, he had been exploring on his own, and his master could not provide him with any help in this area.
"Yes!" Ye Chong replied firmly. He had discussed with Mu earlier that it was indeed not the right time to participate in the Level 5 Trial at the Sanctuary. The situation outside must be very tense! Going out without a plan would undoubtedly be a foolish move.
Ye Chong was right. The situation outside was just as he imagined, very tense. Feng Su's report to the Sanctuary had detailed the Guardian's various functions and some of her speculations, which immediately attracted the Sanctuary's attention. The captured MPA mech pilots also confirmed her speculations. Hence, the Sanctuary's final order was to obtain this mech that could change the strength of the Orbits at all costs.
The residents of the Orbits were shocked to find out that something big had happened. The Mentalist Sanctuary's immense power was fully displayed for the first time. Even in the chaotic Orbits, they could still conduct a carpet search of the area. No one dared to disobey them. There were a few unruly fellows who refused to cooperate, and ended up in a terrible state, which sent shivers down the spines of the people behind them! Such a cruel method in the hands of the Sanctuary, which had always been gentle, made everyone understand the Sanctuary's determination this time! With the examples of the few people before them, no one else dared to challenge the Sanctuary's authority!
For a long time after the incident, the order of the Orbits was so good that people felt like they were living in heaven.
Ye Chong knew nothing about this. On one hand, the Sanctuary's search had not reached this district, and on the other, Ye Chong did not usually leave his house, so of course he would not know.
His master's approval made the simple and honest Hei Zi overjoyed. He grinned like a fool, as if he had been accepted into the family. On the contrary, Ye Chong's face did not show any happiness or disappointment, and was as calm as ever. The old man nodded to himself, thinking that this disciple of his would definitely become someone great in the future.
Ye Chong first learned Basic Carving, and the old man was pleasantly surprised to find that Ye Chong was improving rapidly! The most fundamental aspect of basic carving skills was the control of one's strength. This was also one of the training courses that Mu had taught Ye Chong. Ye Chong was definitely the best in this aspect, and no one could surpass him. This was the reason why he improved so quickly.
Ye Chong held the dragon bone in his left hand, his expression focused. He held the carving knife in his right hand, cutting straight and cutting horizontally, but every cut was clear. His left hand did not move an inch. Behind him, the old man could not help but reveal a look of admiration. Beside Ye Chong, Hei Zi stared unblinkingly at the blade in Ye Chong's hand, not daring to even breathe loudly. Little Nan Nan covered her mouth as she watched curiously as the dragon bone formed in Ye Chong's hand. Ever since Ye Chong became the disciple of the old man, he had been staying in the underground workshop every day, and the little girl was like a burden, always following behind him.
The sturdy bone did not hinder Ye Chong's carving knife at all. Every time Ye Chong cut, the bone powder would fall off. Ye Chong put down the carving knife gently, his expression calm and unperturbed. He held a living engulfer in his left hand, one of the creatures he was most familiar with. Hei Zi sighed in relief and said excitedly, "Hah, you're a genius, it's only been a few days, and you're already so good!"
Shang, who happened to be changing shifts, spoke to Ye Chong in disdain, "What a fuss! You call yourself a genius with this? You've never seen the world! "Of course, Ye Chong ignored Shang's words.
Little Nan Nan climbed onto the table and snatched the engulfer from Ye Chong's hand, loving it!
The old man was very satisfied, but his expression was calm. He said, "Hmm, barely qualified, needs more training. From today onwards, you can learn mechanical carving! "
After a pause, seeing that Ye Chong's attention was on him, the old man continued, "Manual carving is mostly used for small parts or parts of large parts. Most of the time, it's mechanical carving. Mechanical carving is not difficult, and can even be very simple. The difficulty lies in the mastery of the skeletons, which requires the accumulation of experience. Now, your daily task is to familiarize yourself with every kind of skeletons here. You must know them well, and I will teach you to identify the differences between them. This is the essence of a skeleton carver … "
Suddenly, the home call on the wall rang, interrupting the old man's words. Hei Zi hurried over, answered the call, and turned to the old man, saying loudly, "Master, it's Uncle Yan!"
The old man frowned slightly, and said to Hei Zi, "Yes, bring him in!"
Hei Zi acknowledged and ran out.
The old man muttered to himself, "Strange, what's he doing here at this time?"
Not long after, Hei Zi came in with a burly man.
This burly man was rather tall and sturdy. The lines on his face were firm, and his eyes were sharp. His every movement gave off a feeling of power. Ye Chong was moved. This was a master! Ye Chong was now quite experienced, and judging from the man's build and his movements, Ye Chong could tell that the man was not someone to be trifled with. Ye Chong guessed correctly. The man with the surname Yan was called Yan Bingxuan, the patrol of this district.
The moment the man came in, his eyes scanned the inside, and when he saw Ye Chong, he was slightly surprised.
From the looks of it, Hei Zi didn't like this fellow surnamed Yan. He took Little Nan Nan to the side to play.
Old Master Yan said, "Little Yan, you must have come for something this time, right?" He then turned to Ye Chong, "Ye, this is the patrol of the Sanctuary nearby, and he's a master! You can call him Uncle Yan! You'll need his help in many things in the future! " He then turned to Yan Bingxuan, "This is my new apprentice, quite proficient in mechs, I'll be counting on you in the future, Little Yan!"
Yan Bingxuan quickly replied humbly, "Master Ge, you're too kind! You're the one the Sanctuary designated to protect! It's my duty to protect you. As long as it's within my capabilities, of course it's no problem! " Yan Bingxuan's tone was respectful, and sounded pleasing to the ear, but in fact, it was not as impressive as it looked. If he was not willing, all he had to do was say that it was not within his capabilities, and he could easily evade it.
Ye Chong then found out that his master's surname was Ge.
The old man was a wise man, of course he would understand the meaning behind it, but the old man was just saying it casually.
Yan Bingxuan was full of praise, "I didn't expect you to be so highly praised by Elder Ge at such a young age, your future is limitless!"
Ye Chong replied plainly, "Not at all! I still have a lot to learn! "
"Little Yan, what's the purpose of your visit this time?" The old man was getting impatient with Yan Bingxuan's politeness.
"You don't know yet, but it's a mess out there!" Yan Bingxuan said mysteriously.
The old man frowned, "What happened?"
"I heard that two people stole something from the Sanctuary, and now the higher-ups of the Sanctuary are infuriated. Sigh, it's unfortunate that it happened on our planet. Now all the starships heading to other planets have been suspended. The higher-ups want us to search house by house, and the higher-ups can just vent their anger, it's the people under us who have to do the work! "Yan Bingxuan pretended to grumble as he observed the two secretly.
Ye Chong's heart skipped a beat. Just as he had expected, they were talking about him and Mu. But they were accusing him of being a thief, how shameless of them. However, on the surface, Ye Chong was extremely calm. Shang jumped out and said hurriedly, "Ye, don't be too calm, it's best if you look a little surprised!" Upon hearing that, Ye Chong showed a little surprised expression, which was very appropriate.
The old man was moved, "There are people who dare to steal from the Sanctuary?"
Seeing that both of them looked normal, Yan Bingxuan relaxed and smiled bitterly, "Isn't that right? The two of them were truly audacious. They were spotted by the Sanctuary when they escaped in their mechs, and one of the mechs with four arms and two faces was destroyed. Elder Ge, have you ever seen a mech like this? "
Ye Chong was startled, but he tried his best to maintain his composure.
"Four arms and two faces? Such a strange mech? No! Such a strange mech, if I had seen it before, I would remember it! "The old man shook his head. Ye Chong was secretly thankful that Hei Zi and little Nan Nan were not here. They had seen fish before, if they were here, they would have given themselves away.
"Sigh, yeah! Looking for two people in such a big place, isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack? "Yan Bingxuan could not help but complain to the old man.
The old man nodded, "It's not easy!"
Yan Bingxuan took out a metal ball with a green light flashing on it, and apologized to the old man, "Old man, I'm sorry for the offense, I was just going through the motions!"
The old man waved his hand, "It's fine, it's what you should do!" Seeing Ye Chong staring at the metal ball curiously, he explained to him, "This is specially made by the patrol, called the life scanning ball. As long as it's alive, nothing can escape its scanning! This way, we can check if there's any human or animal hiding. Understand? "
Ye Chong was enlightened, "Understood!"
A small hole on the life scanning ball projected a screen of light. There were five green dots on it. Yan Bingxuan did a quick calculation. Including himself, there were exactly five people. He kept the life scanning ball and smiled, "It's alright! Sorry for disturbing Old Ge this time! "
"It's nothing!" The old man did not mind.
Yan Bingxuan said, "Since there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave!"
"Hei Zi!" The old man shouted. Hei Zi hurried to him. The old man said, "You send Uncle Yan out! Little Yan, I won't be seeing you out! "
Yan Bingxuan quickly said, "No need! Old Ge, you can go on with your work! "And he followed the old man towards the stairs.
Suddenly, Yan Bingxuan stopped and exclaimed, "Huh?"
Did something happen? Ye Chong who had just calmed down felt anxious again!
