When Li Xiang rushed to the top floor, he only saw a group of contestants with their hands and feet tied up and blindfolded lying on the ground. He carefully ran over and confirmed that these contestants were still alive, but they were all in a great panic.
He found Chu Bai in the crowd and helped him remove his bindings. Chu Bai, who had removed his blindfold, saw that it was Li Xiang and heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that this was not the place to talk. He winked at Li Xiang, and the two of them got up and prepared to leave.
Li Xiang hesitated for a moment, but he still went over and untied the other children of the aristocratic families. It was not a good idea to just let them lie here. He vaguely felt that the aura that made his heart palpitate had completely disappeared.
The most important thing was that the sky had lit up, and the silent Aokiji 2-7 had also begun to move slowly. This meant that the people of the Machinery Church might have retreated.
Did they find what they were looking for?
Li Xiang did not understand and could only wait and see.
The children of the aristocratic families were all extremely glad that they had broken free from their bindings, and they thanked Li Xiang profusely.
Most of them came from upper-class families, and many of them had just left the middle class. They had accumulated some capital and were planning to establish themselves in the upper-class circle.
The number of successors of these families was usually not high, and they had to stand out among them to obtain the support of their families to come here. If they died here, not only would it be a devastating blow to their families, but it would also be a devastating blow to their families.
Therefore, Li Xiang's help made many people feel grateful, especially since he had already made a name for himself in the Sky Arena. These children of the aristocratic families were all very grateful, leaving behind steam messages and patting their chests, saying that if they had any problems in the future, they could come to them for help anytime.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Li Xiang treated it as a sign of good karma.
He had completed what he wanted to do. After bidding farewell to everyone, he went down to the top floor with Chu Bai.
Along the way, the two of them did not see any more invaders from the Machinery Church. Along the way, Chu Bai smiled bitterly and told him about No.10, constantly praising Li Xiang for his foresight. He should not have been so conceited and almost lost his life.
Li Xiang could not help but frown when he heard that the Machinery Church only wanted them to draw the star map and hand it in.
"It's strange, Aokiji 2-7 has taken on such an important transportation task, why can't I see a guard? These invaders are also baffling. Why would they go through so much trouble if they only wanted these star charts? Why would they risk angering Wessex by plundering the airship? " Chu Bai thought about it for a while and felt that the logic was not self-consistent. He could not understand the real purpose of this group of lunatics.
Li Xiang suddenly asked, "What if the people from the Machinery Church are from Wessex?"
They weren't afraid of Wessex's revenge, and they had the ability to transfer all the guards away. After killing so many competitors, they could also draw a line between themselves and Wessex, killing many birds with one stone.
Chu Bai's expression changed when he heard this, and he did not answer. It was not impossible, but it was too shocking. If this was the truth, then it was better for them to pretend that they did not know.
"Of course, this is just my random guess. In fact, if it was really Wessex, they could have gotten our star map in the first place. There was no need to use such a method to snatch it." Li Xiang smiled. He was not close to Chu Bai, so it was better not to reveal too much of his thoughts.
"What if they did this to ensure that we did not miss anything and gave them the real star map?" Chu Bai sighed. The more he thought about it, the more doubts he had. He shook his head and did not continue this topic. "By the way, Brother Li Xiang, have you seen Bai Jiaqi? Isn't she a member of the Machinery Church? Is she also among the invaders? "
Chu Bai's tone was not very good. After this battle, the survivors had formed a grudge with the Machinery Church. It would be fine if Bai Jiaqi, who was publicly known as a member of the Machinery Church, died, but if she was alive, then there would be a lot of trouble.
Li Xiang shook his head. He did not see Bai Jiaqi in the crowd, but he could vaguely feel that this kid did not participate in the invaders' operation.
The two of them returned to Li Xiang's room. Seeing the five women in the room, Chu Bai was stunned. He did not know how Li Xiang had predicted the future and saved them.
The few of them sat together and decided to wait and see.
From Li Xiang's point of view, the people from the Machinery Church seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. However, when he thought of the existence of Magician among the invaders, he did not dare to be careless.
If that person really made a move, Li Xiang could only fight with all his strength. The chances of escaping were not high, but they only saved the female leader and retreated. It seemed that their goal was really only the star map, and they did not care about the lives of the competitors at all.
After a long time, there was a knock on the door. The few of them were puzzled. Li Xiang got up and walked over. Through the peephole, he saw an employee wearing a Wessex uniform. He opened the door.
The two of them chatted. It turned out that the rescue team from the Wessex headquarters had arrived. The thugs from the Machinery Church had been killed, and he was here to confirm the number of survivors and discuss compensation.
"Excuse me, have you seen Young Master Bai Jiaqi?" Li Xiang asked tentatively.
The employee was not willing to answer at first, but after seeing the recording device, he suddenly became very respectful. "Ah, Young Master Bai Jiaqi is also here, but he has been tied up in the water tank of the floating ship. However, his identity as an external member of the Machinery Church has caused a lot of controversy. It seems that the sixteen branches of the Bai family are planning to send people over to negotiate."
"Well, thank you." Li Xiang nodded. As long as Bai Jiaqi was not dead, he could ask about the message. However, listening to the employee's words, he was afraid that he was now surrounded. He would not be able to see him before the matter was resolved.
"That, you are Mr. Li Xiang, right?" The employee repeatedly confirmed the information on his recording device and asked again.
Li Xiang nodded in confusion. He had asked this more than ten times.
"Great, it's good that you are fine!" The employee let out a long sigh of relief and immediately took out his communication device to send a voice message. "This is number 968885. Mr. Li Xiang was found in the original room. He is fine. Miss Bai Mumu and Young Master Chu Bai are also with him."
After sending the voice message, he smiled and said to Li Xiang, "Please wait a moment. Professor Maria will be here soon. When she heard that something happened to Aokiji 2-7, she rushed over from the laboratory to confirm your safety."
Professor Maria?
Li Xiang was stunned and fell silent.
In just a short moment, the sound of hurried high-heeled footsteps could be heard. Before the person arrived, the sound arrived first.
"Li Xiang, Li Xiang, are you okay? Are you missing an arm or a leg? Are you seriously injured? " Ross Maria, who was wearing a cool white coat, rushed over in a hurry. The smell of perfume that assailed his nostrils almost made him sneeze.
Professor Maria had not changed much since the Polar night training camp. Her eyes were like silk and her figure was graceful. However, she had a different style in her work clothes. There was a hint of competence unique to women in the workplace in her charm.
Hearing that it was the famous beautiful professor of Wessex, Chu Bai and Bai Mumu walked out of the room to take a look. Elena and Alice were also standing at the door with longing.
The two sisters, in particular, were even more envious and longing for Maria.
Maria was one of the few geniuses in Wessex in the past decade. She used to be a European and was transferred from the European branch to the Subcontinent branch because her previous research projects had failed.
For the next two years, Maria's laboratory had been underfunded. As a result, she had never been able to recruit enough assistants. She was one of the worst professors.
However, a few years ago, her research projects exploded one after another, slapping many people in the face. Maria did not give up just because of her previous failures. She continued to research and improve year after year and realized the projects that many professors thought were impossible. Her famous Winged Chariot was still the favorite car of many big shots in the upper circle.
The Winged Chariot abandoned the inherent design of sports cars and off-road vehicles. It opened the era of mechanical motorcycles. It was easier to operate and faster. It did not conflict with sports cars. Its combat ability was also excellent.
After she became famous, she became unstoppable. Maria's laboratory was now a place where countless mechanical enthusiasts would fight to get into. Her nickname "Flaming Lips" was not just for show.
Maria had inherited the open-minded nature of Europeans. She was very casual in her private life. She claimed that she would not turn down any students or assistants. Unfortunately, so far, no one had successfully climbed into her bed. Still, this was enough for many mechanical enthusiasts to fight over.
After all, sleeping with Maria meant that you would have access to many resources and connections.
At this moment, this legendary machinist was asking after Li Xiang's well-being like an elder sister, touching him left and right. Chu Bai and the others were completely stunned when they heard that she had rushed here directly from the laboratory on an airship because of Li Xiang's safety.
Sure enough, there were people everywhere who loved the delicious steamed buns.
"You've grown taller and stronger. I thought it would take at least a year or two for you to travel in the Star Ocean." Maria nodded with satisfaction. Others only knew about her charm and outstanding mechanical skills, but they did not know that her most impressive trait was her eye for people.
The Mechanics who walked out of Maria's laboratory were enough for her to obtain the title of professor. She was extremely good at reading people. Even so, she almost missed out on Li Xiang.
If he had not unlocked the mechanical device that he had left behind that day, he might have really missed out on such a genius.
He was confirmed to have Absolute Mechanical Sense. This talent was too important. In the later stages of learning, Mechanics with Absolute Mechanical Sense would have a huge gap between them and the majority of Mechanics. Maria herself had only relied on Relative Mechanical Sense to reach her current achievements.
Absolute Mechanical Sense was a top-notch talent that countless mechanical organizations would fight over. She had full confidence that she could nurture Li Xiang. Furthermore, his talent was far more than that.
