"Amazing. I remember that there were only thirty-six organizations in total today, and you actually have twenty-one invitations!" Chen Fan was also holding a large pile of invitations. He smiled and sat down nearby to observe.
Everyone maintained a certain distance and did not interfere with each other. Li Xiang saw that Chen Fan had also received invitations similar to his own. However, there were some differences in some details, which meant that these organizations had sent out different invitations to each of them.
Li Xiang laid out the invitations on the ground. Some of them gave off a mysterious vibe, some generously labeled with the name of the organization, and some even directly placed the rewards on the outside to attract people. It could be said that he was truly unscrupulous. This instantly reminded him of the various colorful university admission letters in his previous life.
Every invitation letter had its own unique style. Among them, there were a few that were clearly specially made for Li Xiang. The exterior was specially designed with a mechanical style, and the reward related to mechanical equipment was also marked in red. He had not felt this kind of attention in a long time.
Li Xiang's current plan was to first leave Polar night, then try his best to find a player's university that was compatible with Machinery Mastery. It would be even better if he could enter the legendary Chronometer Tower Consortium.
As for this early choice, it was very likely that it would affect his future resources. He carefully selected the invitations. Even if he accepted the other party's invitation, it was hard to say whether he would join them in the future. However, this kind of necessary choice still had to be made.
Very quickly, he was attracted by the invitations from the top three organizations. The military's invitation letter was majestic, and the smear of military green was moving. The invitation letter only had the words "City 0127's military" on the cover, and there was also the Ministry of Science and Technology's seal in the corner. As expected, in the eyes of the major organizations, he was more inclined to become a technical talent.
After all, his grades in the Machinery class were there. At the very least, he could become a mechanical engineer.
Another invitation letter that was full of technological feeling came from Wessex Technology Company. Li Xiang fiddled with it in his hand for a while before he realized that the invitation letter itself was a mechanical device. He had to deconstruct it to see the contents inside.
More importantly, when he touched the device, the gray scale bar increased to 2.6% before stopping. Such a large increase meant that the device itself was highly mechanical.
In the past few days, he had come into contact with all kinds of mechanical devices in Old Ghost's shop. He discovered that a mechanical device that could increase liquefied Origin Substance by just touching it had to have these characteristics: it was highly mechanical, had excellent workmanship, and was made of rare materials.
Because of this, Dong Ling Heavy Industries, which tended to be artistic and refined, was able to provide the most liquefied Origin Substances. Looking at it now, Wessex Technology's products were also much better than the others.
What interested him even more was that this device was given to Li Xiang for free. There was also a short message accompanying the invitation. The message was simple and clear. As long as he opened it, he would receive the reward and a surprise inside.
Li Xiang fiddled with it for a while, then set his eyes on the last invitation letter. He did not expect that Dong Ling's family would send him an invitation letter.
After all, he did not understand the Steam language at all. If it were not for Atsushi Amakusa's explanation, he would not have understood the servant girl's words.
In fact, there were less than five people who had received an invitation letter from Dong Ling's family in the entire Polar Night, and Li Xiang was the only one who did not understand the Steam language.
On the cover of the invitation letter was the Dong Ling's family emblem. It was a symmetrical X formed by a black and white crescent moon. It was very artistic. Speaking of which, Li Xiang's invitation to Polar Night also had the Dong Ling's family emblem. Was this some kind of fate?
Under the family emblem was the Dong Ling's family motto that resounded throughout the world: The glory of the family is above all.
Under the family motto were the words "Project One."
At this time, Li Xiang still did not know the significance of the Dong Ling's family sending an invitation letter that was not in the Steam language.
He was the first to put down the military's invitation letter. The passion for machinery that was dormant in his body made him want to unlock the Wessex Technology's mechanical device first.
For some reason, he could not see through the internal structure of this mechanical device!
Seeing him start to fiddle with the device, many people around him looked at him with envy. The background of these trainees had made them aware of many unspoken rules. The Wessex Technology Company would only send out this kind of mechanical device to the true core trainees.
In the past, only the top young mechanical geniuses of each continent could receive such a device. Although Polar Night was a place where miracles happened, it was still very shocking to see it with their own eyes.
Li Xiang was soon immersed in the pleasure of deconstructing the device. As his hands fiddled with it, the grayish-white scale bar was still slowly rising. These days, Rocca had taught him the most basic introductory mechanics, while Old Ghost had specialized in firearms. He had taken an unconventional approach to teaching him practical skills. The two types of education, one orthodox and one strange, and Li Xiang's own hard work had helped him lay down a solid foundation.
As he dismantled the Wessex Technology Company's mechanical device, he slowly saw the technological style of a huge machine empire, and the beautiful scenery that was completely different from what he saw in the textbooks.
The people around him chose their invitations. They held their breaths and opened them to check the mission. All kinds of voices rang out in the resting area. The group of bigwigs who were originally in the audience had already gone to the central building of Polar Night with the chief instructor.
A few instructors were waiting by the side to take care of the trainees after they accepted the mission. After all, the conditions of every mission were different. Some would provide the trainees with a certain amount of resources and equipment, and this required someone to guide them.
The trainees who accepted the mission one by one confirmed their registration with the instructors and left with the person in charge of the organization.
The people in the resting area were getting fewer and fewer. Chen Fan got up and prepared to leave. He chose the military's invitation letter, and a captain was waiting for him with a smile.
Chen Fan was not interested in machinery and steam technology, but he was very interested in the military's rumored iron-blooded temperament and hot-blooded style. When he passed by Li Xiang, he saw that he was concentrating on the mechanical device, so he did not disturb him.
After another hour, with a soft "clack" sound, the incomparably complex mechanical lock was finally cracked. It involved a lot of precise calculations and practical operation skills. If it were not for the forbidden techniques that Old Ghost taught him, it would have taken him a few more hours to crack it.
The person in charge of the Wessex Technology Company saw that he had successfully cracked the lock, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He wondered if he should immediately inform Professor Maria.
Li Xiang took out the item inside. It was an exquisite metal box. After hanging around Old Ghost's shop for a long time, he immediately realized that it was a blueprint document, and it was very likely the complete blueprint of a certain mechanical device.
This was indeed an extremely precious reward!
He couldn't wait to open the iron box. Sure enough, there were dozens of blueprints inside. It could be seen that the technical content of these blueprints was not low.
"It's actually a 'Winged' tank!" Li Xiang was shocked. The Winged tank was a new type of steam locomotive. It was not a conventional four-wheeled vehicle, but a motorcycle from his previous world.
It was cool and flashy, and it could be used in battle. How could such a powerful tank blueprint be given to him so easily?
Li Xiang flipped through it again, and sure enough, there was a message.
This blueprint was only a part of the Winged tank's blueprint. If he wanted to get the complete blueprint, he would have to go to Wessex Technology Company's Sky Arena to obtain a series of qualifications. The steps were complicated, and there were many requirements.
"This is actually a private invitation letter with no time limit." Li Xiang checked it again and again, and finally confirmed that this was not an invitation letter from Wessex Technology Company, but a private invitation letter from the sexy female professor, Maria. The blueprints inside were also from her.
Even if it was not a complete blueprint, the value of this reward was still terrifying. Being able to see the current popular tank blueprints would be of great benefit to Li Xiang in the future.
As for the Sky Arena and the subsequent rewards, they were all Maria's idea. The letter was filled with all kinds of provocative hints, and there was even a fiery red lipstick print at the end of the letter. It was very much like her personal style.
Maria had made it very clear that as long as Li Xiang could follow her instructions and walk step by step to reach her, she would take him in as a professional assistant.
Becoming a professional assistant to an authoritative professor from Wessex Technology Company meant that he had already made a name for himself in the machinery industry, and his future was limitless.
Since there was no time limit, Li Xiang naturally would not take on such a tedious task during the important and stressful mid-term exam. In the end, he still picked up the "one plan" given by the Dong Ling family.
Compared to the military, he was more curious about this mysterious family.
"Mr. Li Xiang, please use the language of steam to read out our family language. This is the only way to open the invitation letter." The maid who suddenly appeared beside him gave him a fright.
He did not know when she had appeared behind Li Xiang, and he did not notice at all. This strange speed and ability to hide her presence made him unconsciously tense up.
"But I don't know how to speak steam." Li Xiang shrugged helplessly.
The maid smiled sweetly, elegantly rolled up her skirt, and taught him word by word.
The language of steam was similar to a chant, and it felt like an aria. Li Xiang's voice was low, and his voice was very magnetic. Even if it was a little stiff, it was still very pleasant to listen to.
"The glory of the family is above all."
As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of frost suddenly formed on the invitation letter in his hand. Then, the entire gorgeous invitation letter was sealed in ice, and in his hand, it became a transparent blue cube.
Li Xiang looked at the invitation letter, and the delicate runes on it slowly lit up with purple flames. In the fusion of ice and fire, the blue cube cracked, and the scattered ice crystals were as beautiful as fireworks when they touched the purple flames.
The burnt invitation letter turned into white mist, and after it dissipated, the small space became a little distorted.
The air boiled and twisted a few times, and rows of steam words appeared one after another.
Mission Type: Escort
Mission Difficulty: C
Mission Details: Escort Dong Ling Lan and her family to the steam relay station in City 0127 in three days.
Mission Reward: One quota for the "one plan".
The steam words that appeared in front of his eyes reminded Li Xiang of the small steam words that appeared when his Machinery Mastery ability was triggered. There were exquisite carvings around the mission panel, and it was a little like the side missions of the RPG games he played in his previous life.
After a few minutes, the steam words regarding the mission introduction dissipated in the air, and at the same time, it was deeply imprinted in Li Xiang's mind.
"Mr. Li Xiang, regarding the specific content of this mission, please board our carriage, and I will be responsible for explaining it to you in detail. If you don't have anything else, can we depart now? "
The maid returned to her cold appearance, but when she spoke to Li Xiang, her tone was not as cold and arrogant as when she was giving a speech.
She bowed slightly and pointed at the black carriage that was parked on the side.
"Let's go." Li Xiang took a deep breath and followed her into the black carriage.
