"Don't think too highly of yourself. Once we destroy this mechanical device and it explodes, it'll be lucky if there are at least a dozen or so Elementium Crystals left. You want all of them? Doesn't it require energy to self-destruct? "
Li Xiang rolled his eyes at her. He did not expect Baimiya to be such a money-grubber.
"A dozen or so Elementium Crystals is good too. One Elementium Crystals is worth a billion! You Mechanics are really wasteful. " Baimiya licked her lips. If she could get a few Elementium Crystals, her tuition fees for her first year of university would be stable.
"Hurry up. This shouldn't be a problem for you, right?" Baimiya looked around. She did not dare get too close to the Queen of Pain. Her instincts told her that this mechanical creature was not as simple as Li Xiang made it out to be.
"Of course. If I couldn't do it, I wouldn't have brought you here." Li Xiang's excuse to Baimiya was that he was here for the Elementium Crystals. If he told her that this was the Queen of Pain's request, she would be scared silly.
"Stop being so cocky. Hurry up," Baimiya said.
Li Xiang nodded. If not for the fact that his Machinery Mastery ability had evolved after traveling in the galaxy, he would not have had the confidence to directly control such a complicated mechanical device.
However, with his evolved ability, he could easily control any mechanical device and reach the highest proficiency level in a few seconds. Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to maintain the pale gold gear spinning in his eyes.
When the players outside the light screen saw that Li Xiang was actually trying to control the mechanical device to self-destruct, they were both shocked and amused.
This mechanical device was personally made by Duke Siluo, and was used to imprison the big guy inside. Only they could come up with such an idea of pulling the whiskers out of the tiger's mouth.
However, what they were more concerned about was whether Li Xiang could really control this mechanical device.
Even if he had shocking Machinery Talent, he had not studied systematically in university. Even with Absolute Mechanical Sense, it would be difficult for him to control it.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Xiang quietly extended his hand to the control panel of the dome.
The pale golden gears were spinning at high speed. At this moment, his mind was clear. In order to maximize his computing ability, he had even instantiated the magic circuit in his brain. If he still could not control this mechanical device with this level of enhancement, he would decisively give up.
With his X-ray vision and Absolute Mechanical Sense, the moment Li Xiang touched the control panel, it was as if he had come into contact with an old friend that he had not seen for a long time.
His smooth movements made Baimiya even more certain that this kid was a rare mechanical genius.
The reason why Mechanics could be compared to players was because of Syro Wessex, who was one of the Five Kings. Even if no one could get close to him, he still proved that the highest level of Mechanics could be reached, and he had the qualifications to be compared to the top players.
At the same time, Mechanics were also one of the players' most trusted companions. Who would not like such a mobile logistics support warehouse?
There were very few people of the same age who could become a Mechanic, let alone such a peerless genius.
Baimiya's lips curled up into a smile. Her eyes darted around, and no one knew what she was thinking.
At this moment, Li Xiang was fully focused on controlling the mechanical device. In the past, when the grayish-white scale bar was still there, he could increase the scale whenever he touched a machine. Now that it was a mechanical wheel, every time he used a mechanical device, the wheel would slowly spin, and the words on the surface would also flicker.
Although he would not be able to increase these now, the wheel could still assist him in any mechanical operation.
It was as if he had the most advanced mechanical device in his body.
The more he understood this dome, the more he could feel the feeling of looking up at a tall mountain.
The man standing at the top of the pyramid seemed to be in another dimension. Not only was his technology, understanding, and thinking, but his control of the details and the use of small parts had also reached an unimaginable level.
It was like a child who had just learned a language and suddenly came into contact with a world-shocking literary masterpiece. Although he did not fully understand it, he could deeply understand the concept and depth that it conveyed!
Half an hour passed in a flash. Baimiya was a little impatient. This was also one of the reasons why she did not have any mechanical ability. She did not want to waste any time on things that she did not like.
This was the most important aspect of mechanical research. In the early stages, it was even more important than talent.
Li Xiang seemed to have noticed her expression and said calmly, "About two to three more hours. If you're impatient, you can lie down and rest for a while. After all, when we go out later, I'm afraid no one will let us rest."
Baimiya was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud. "Do you think I'm afraid of those b * stards? If one comes, I'll kill one. If two come, I'll kill a pair. When my Bloodthirsty Ruler is full of human blood, I'll be able to kill them all! "
Hearing her villainous speech, Li Xiang could only helplessly smile.
"It's not good for a girl to keep swearing. It's easy for you not to get married."
"Hmph, who said I was going to get married? I worked so hard to grow up. Why would I let you guys do it for free? Hmph!" Baimiya sat down on the ground and meditated. Her injuries had been suppressed by the Origin Particle Water Li Xiang had given her and were quickly recovering. However, she still needed some time to rest.
However, she was not the kind of person who could sit still. As a result, there were countless hidden injuries on her body. Every once in a while, she would have to go to the main clan's healing hot springs to soak in them and get rid of all the hidden injuries on her body.
Only a descendant like her, who was favored by a branch family ancestor, had this kind of privilege. Even a branch family member did not have the right to soak in the healing hot springs every month.
Li Xiang was too lazy to pay attention to her. He continued to bury his head in his research.
It was rare for Baimiya, who was normally very active, to be able to calm down. She recalled that the few times she had meditated were all related to Li Xiang. She sat cross-legged in meditation, but her mind was filled with bits and pieces of Li Xiang.
From learning of his existence to making a bet with Bai Haiting, to entering the Polar night because of him, to finally meeting him before the second phase of the training and leaving behind some harsh words, to the end-of-term exam and the final trial.
The two of them hadn't known each other for long, but she had changed greatly.
"Hey, you should be able to chat, right?"
"Yes, in principle, I can." Li Xiang hesitated for a moment before replying. Even though he knew that she was a chatterbox, it was better not to reject her.
"You really don't have any thoughts of returning to the Bai Clan? Later on, I seriously investigated some information about your family for you. I even used some of my influence and asked the Ancestor for help. "
"Yes."
Hearing his indifferent answer, Baimiya spat and continued, "Guess what interesting things I found out? Because it involves Bai Xintong, she is now under Third Uncle's special training. It is very difficult to find anything about her, so I had to sneak into the clan's ancestral hall. "
Li Xiang did not respond.
This was because he did not understand how serious it was to sneak into the clan's ancestral hall.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he immediately changed the topic, "Get to the point."
It was not that he was impatient, but there were too many people eavesdropping. Presumably, the elders of the Bai Clan would vomit blood if they heard this.
Baimiya seemed to realize that she had misspoken and quickly corrected herself, "In short, I found some interesting things. Only one of your parents should be from the Bai Clan, and their bloodline is extremely pure. There is a high probability that they are related to that major event."
"What major event?"
"I can't say, I can't say. If you want to know, come to the Bai Clan and ask. Anyway, my speculation is basically correct. First of all, you and your sister are very talented. Even I can feel the suppression of your bloodline. This point is enough to prove it. Only the Bai Clan's bloodline is extremely pure. But there is no reason for such a descendant not to be brought back to the clan. But now, they only want Bai Xintong and gave up on you. This shows that there is a lot of opposition in the clan, and it is difficult for the higher-ups to come to a consensus. "
When some of the Bai Clan's secrets were mentioned, many of the players' screens suddenly dimmed.
They knew that this was due to Wessex's respect for the Five Thrones, and they would naturally hide any secrets that involved some of the aristocratic families.
Of course, the VIPs like Shadow of the Night could still continue to listen.
In their circle, it was no secret that Li Xiang was from the Bai Clan. Some people even knew about his and Li Yetong's background.
After all, the players could live for a long time, and they had seen many more bizarre things. It was very difficult for something to stir up ripples in their hearts.
This was no exception.
On the screen, Baimiya continued to speak.
"The clan's barrier is real. It's just that the Dong Ling Clan has done this to the extreme! Only the purest bloodline can give birth to a new leader. For example, Cousin Bai Dongxue's parents are members of the Bai Clan. Tracing back to his grandfather's generation, he is also a member of the Bai Clan with an extremely pure bloodline. After a long period of accumulation, it exploded with him. "
As for the genetic defects of inbreeding, it would naturally be compensated by the Bai Clan's terrifying bloodline.
Li Xiang could understand this. After all, the world was different, and some principles were no longer applicable.
"Therefore, the Five Thrones have strict rules on marriage. It's just that the Dong Ling Clan is too harsh in this regard. King Dong Ling has been suppressed by the White King for his entire life. He wants to find someone among his descendants who can suppress his generation. In short, in the Bai Clan, once you reach a certain level of strength and status, it is difficult for you to decide your own marriage. If one of your parents is such a pure descendant and marries an outsider … "
Li Xiang finally understood. To put it simply, it was still a disagreement between political marriage and free love.
In terms of benefits and other factors, free love was a disrespect and waste of bloodline.
The Dong Ling Clan's attitude towards this was extremely unyielding. It was evident from the experience of Dong Ling Lan's family.
He did not expect such a thing to happen to him.
Although he did not have much of an impression of his parents, he was abandoned not long after he was born. How could he have parents?
However, his tragic experience in his previous life and the difficulties he faced now were all due to the Bai Clan.
"So, I'm not going back. I don't really want to know about this." He shook his head. No matter what happened to his parents, they were most likely no longer around. He would not ask about or inherit their grievances.
He only wanted to be himself and let Ye Tong obtain the happiness she yearned for.
"You still don't understand? Ming Xu, Bai Xintong, they will face the same problem in the future, including me. Now you know why I'm so disgusted with having sex with men. You're already so old, but you have to give yourself to a man you don't like. If it were you, would you be able to take it? "Baimiya asked with a grin.
Li Xiang burst into laughter. "That's true."
Then, his gaze became extremely cold.
