When Zhou Yingxue heard Ren Xiaosu call her auntie, she could not hold it in any longer. She was 25 years old and still in the prime of her youth, so how did she become an auntie?
Of course, Ren Xiaosu did not really think that Zhou Yingxue was old. It was just that he had seen Zhou Yingxue on the side of the road before.
The Intelligence Service thought their operation to tail Ren Xiaosu was flawless and had not been discovered. They even thought that Ren Xiaosu was stupid and did not notice their actions at all.
But in reality, Ren Xiaosu just could not be bothered with them and wanted to recuperate from his injuries.
Besides, it would have been fine if they had asked for some nanosoldiers to tail him. Normal people were not worth Ren Xiaosu's attention.
However, Zhou Yingxue was not an ordinary person either. She said with a smile, "I'm old enough to be your elder sister. Are you familiar with this library?"
"No." Ren Xiaosu shook his head.
Zhou Yingxue was stunned. 'You've been coming to this library every day for almost half a month, and you're still saying you're not familiar with it?'
She continued with a smile, "I'm looking for a book called The Introduction to Time. Do you know where it is?"
Ren Xiaosu looked up at her. He had already put on an aloof attitude, yet she was still trying to force him into a conversation.
But at this moment, the voice from the palace said, "Quest: Find the correct location of the book for the knowledge seeker."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. This quest had to be issued at this moment instead of earlier or later. Furthermore, the quest had specifically stated that it had to be in the correct location, so he could not simply point to it. However, he really did not know where the book was.
He had to complete the quest. He looked at Zhou Yingxue and said tentatively, "The Introduction to Time must be in this library. Why don't you look for it yourself?"
Zhou Yingxue was stunned. 'Why didn't you say the book was in Stronghold 88? Of course I know the book is in this library! '
However, Ren Xiaosu did not care so much. In any case, he was thinking that the palace had asked for the correct location. If he said that the book was in this library, it would not be wrong, right?
The voice from the palace said, "Quest complete. Rewarded Basic Skill Duplication Scroll."
Ren Xiaosu almost wanted to add a chicken drumstick to his intelligence. When it came to exploiting loopholes in missions, there was probably no one better than him!
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, An Yuqian quickly tried to salvage the situation. He found the Introduction to Time and handed it to Zhou Yingxue. Zhou Yingxue wanted to vent her anger but could not.
Just then, another group of people entered the library. It was Wang Yuchi and the others.
Wang Yuchi and the others came to the table that Ren Xiaosu was at. When they saw Zhou Yingxue, they were stunned. This was their table in the past because they had to gather here for self-study.
If Zhou Yingxue were to sit here, there would be a stranger stuck between them. It would feel very awkward, and they would have to be very careful with their words.
As a matter of fact, their conversations often involved some secrets. After all, they knew too much, so they would inadvertently mention it.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yingxue knew these people would probably want to sit with Ren Xiaosu. However, she still pretended to be focused on her book and planned to sit there without moving.
Someone wanted to ask Zhou Yingxue if they could switch seats, but Wang Yuchi stopped them. "This library is a public place, so there's no reason for us to disturb her while she's reading."
Ren Xiaosu tidied up the book in front of him and said, "Let's switch tables."
There were many tables in the library. It was a very large venue, so this table was not the only one. As a result, a large group of people ran to another table, leaving Zhou Yingxue sitting there alone with a book in her hands.
Moreover, in order to pretend to be a real reader and not arouse Ren Xiaosu's suspicions, Zhou Yingxue had to sit there and read the Introduction to Time for the entire afternoon. No one knew if she had really read it.
Zhou Yingxue was a little annoyed. She had countless suitors, so why was she not tempted by this young man at all?! Was there something wrong with this kid?!
After that day, Zhou Yingxue no longer loitered around Ren Xiaosu. She did not even stalk Ren Xiaosu as frequently. Sometimes, she would only stalk Ren Xiaosu once every few days.
On the other hand, An Yuqian's lectures sped up a lot. An Yuqian even sighed. He had never thought that teaching students would be such an easy task. When he was teaching students in the past, he always felt that the students were dumber than the next.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized that An Yuqian might have been a researcher in the past. Later on, he became a librarian for some reason. He thought he could ask Yang Xiaojin about it when he had the time. Perhaps Yang Xiaojin might know something about it.
In the process of learning, Wang Yuchi and the others would occasionally sketch out the armor blueprints they envisioned during breaks between classes. Now that the delay in controlling the nanomachines had been reduced to less than 0.2 seconds, they would also occasionally imagine themselves wearing the armor. Just thinking about it made them excited.
When they finished designing the arm and palm blueprints, An Yuqian chuckled when he happened to see them. "So that's what y 'all are trying to design. Let me tell you, it's impossible!"
Ren Xiaosu looked up at An Yuqian. "Why?"
"Many people want to design these so-called 'mechas.' They imagine that this kind of individual combat weapon can be used to great effect on the battlefield. But there are too many problems to overcome," An Yuqian said.
Ren Xiaosu asked with interest, "What are the difficulties?"
"First of all, you won't be able to solve the power problem." An Yuqian sneered and said, "How can there be such a powerful portable power source in the world? There's only one type of power source in the world, and it's controlled nuclear fusion!"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. Yang Xiaojin's organization was the Saboteurs, who hated nuclear power the most. But now that he had installed a controlled nuclear fusion device on the armor, wouldn't the entire Saboteurs come after him?
"Are there any other sources of power?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
An Yuqian said firmly, "No! At least, there's no other known technology! The raw materials for fusion are deuterium and tritium. If the technology is advanced enough, only deuterium can be used. There's a lot of deuterium in water. But the current controlled nuclear fusion technology, such as the tokamak, is a very difficult problem to solve. The larger the visible radius of the device, the better the energy restraint performance! "
"It's not that it's impossible to shrink it, but it's very difficult." An Yuqian looked at Ren Xiaosu and the others with a smile. "It's like a dream for the few of you to achieve this."
Ren Xiaosu frowned. The nanomachines' power source had always been something he was struggling with. After all, if he were to rely on his biological energy to charge them, it would take him two hours to charge them for two minutes. It would not be able to support him in a high-intensity battle.
"Are there any other difficulties that you can't overcome?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"Also, how are you going to get the armor to listen to your commands? How complicated is the procedure to — "An Yuqian said.
Ren Xiaosu interrupted, "That's actually quite easy to solve …"
An Yuqian was speechless.
What was he bragging about?!
However, Ren Xiaosu did not intend to say much about it. Be it the Yang Clan or the Li Consortium, no one was using the nanomachines as armor. The main reason was that it was too extravagant to use them like that.
