Chapter 8 The Enemy of the People

"Two newspapers, one for the Times, one for the campus newspaper, uh...... Is there the latest school newspaper of the Fairy Academy, also bring me a copy. ”

Lin An, who was wearing a blue bachelor's uniform, said as he laid out nine big coins on the table.

"Yo~ It's Brother An!"

When the student selling the newspaper saw that it was Lin An coming, he couldn't help but let out a mocking voice of yin and yang.

Lin An didn't pay much attention, took the newspaper and went directly to the Mechanical Research Institute.

Along the way, many people were secretly pointing when they saw Lin An again.

Whether it is mockery, or laughter, of course, it also contains regretful emotions.

The attitude of these people is basically not much different from that of the guy who sells his newspaper.

Lin An has long been accustomed to this.

At this time, he had just finished his morning mechanic course, as he had only signed up for a second-level mechanic puppet.

I don't have much combat ability, so the actual combat class in the afternoon is a rare student who is allowed by the instructor to skip class.

For this kind of preferential treatment, Lin An gladly accepted.

At this time, he would go to the mechanical research institute and take on some tasks to earn some extra money.

In fact, this was Lin An's second year after coming to the Academy of All Souls.

Since that night Gong Lanlan was made to cry by Lin An, the girl has not had any contact with him.

Lin An also learned later that he made Gong Lanlan cry in the second half of the night.

The Fairy Academy has already sent someone to take the girl to the academy.

After all, it was a peerless genius of the nine heavens, and as soon as this result was announced, the entire Phantom Empire was shocked.

There was a heated discussion throughout the country for a while.

Naturally, as a supporting role in the emotional path of a super-talented summoner.

Lin An himself was also rendered as a clown figure who didn't know the importance of the first wave of good things in the media.

Pheasant with phoenix, this is originally a gossip story that the media likes to see.

Especially Lin An, the pheasant, even dumped the phoenix of Gong Lanlan.

This makes the good deeds make fun of him wantonly.

Fortunately, not much information about him was revealed, and all the media in the Phantom Empire were like some kind of warning.

Even in the follow-up report, Lin An's condition was not discussed.

But even so, when Lin An reported to the Academy of All Souls on the first day, he had already been treated with extraordinary indifference.

There is no way...... Who called Gong Lanlan's talent so outstanding and her beauty so beautiful.

As Gong Lanlan's childhood sweetheart, Lin An knows very well what kind of attention and accosting this crazy girl will attract every time she accompanies this crazy girl to go shopping in the town.

Therefore, Gong Lanlan, a seemingly lively girl, actually hates going to that kind of crowded place.

Now that Gong Lanlan has become an apprentice of a summoner with extraordinary talent, the attention she has attracted has naturally increased by a few notches.

Even within the Academy of All Souls, it seems that a fan group has been secretly formed.

has always treated Lin An himself as the top of this list.

……

Lin An recalled his experience in the past year a little, and couldn't help but sigh.

He had already walked over to the Institute of Mechanics made of metal and black crystal, carrying a newspaper.

Lin An took out a brass access card from his pocket and inserted it into the card slot on the side door.

As he inserted the brass keycard, the door to the mechanical institute creaked and the gears snapped.

The last crisp sound of "snap" sounded, the key of the door card was successfully bitten, the four closed gates opened, and Lin An took back the card and walked directly to his operation room.

As an academy that mainly cultivates summoners, being able to unlock it with this level of access control already shows the extraordinary nature of the Mechanical Research Institute.

In fact, there are very few students like Lin An who get an access card in the first school year.

Even those seniors who are about to graduate and have successfully promoted to second-order summoners.

Only students who are not from the machine soul department, even if they sign a contract with the machine soul beast, they are not entitled to get the doorman ban card of the mechanical research institute.

It can only be said that Lin An relied on the technical knowledge of those Kale engineers in Xiao Tanji's database.

In this all-soul-based academy, the performance is too eye-catching.

However, this is normal in the eyes of other summoners.

After all, basically no one will regard an auxiliary puppet of this type as their own natal spirit animal.

In fact, even if they want to engage in mechanic positions in the future, they will only sign a machine soul beast such as a mechanical octopus, which has strong combat power and part-time mechanic ability, as their natal spirit beast.

So they don't know how terrifying Lin An's signing of Tanji is to the bonus in terms of mechanics.

Just take it for granted.

Lin An came to his mentor group and glanced at the dry old man sleeping against the wall.

I don't say hello to this mentor of my own.

As soon as his divine consciousness moved, a golden door to summon spirits appeared out of thin air, and a whale-shaped self-discipline puppet appeared out of thin air.

Xiao Tanji was very excited when she saw Lin An herself.

The psionic energy on his body babbles, like a beluga whale playing with a keeper in an aquarium.

The whole leaned over, gently arching Lin An's right hand with its metal skull, motioning for him to touch himself.

was spoiled by such a cute puppet, and Lin An's depression dissipated even if he had.

As he always did, he picked up Tanhime and carefully examined it.

It's different from when she first summoned Tanhime a year ago.

Now his tanji has an extra button-type mechanical spinning table, and four ring-armored prostheses are inserted into the spinning table that resemble lotus shower head water pipes.

This thing is the only finished product that Lin An has been able to get his hands on since he entered the school.

A robotic arm capable of precise cutting, small area of stationary, and controllable limb floating.

This thing is actually made by relying on the production principle of the Star Spirit Forge Furnace, a super simple version of the Star Spirit Forge Furnace.

The reason why Lin An didn't build and upgrade the armor for Tanji all year ago was that in addition to the lack of materials, the most important thing was the lack of props to take advantage of.

Because of the machine soul, the summoning masters who major in the machine soul in this world are still accustomed to the master-apprentice workshop-style self-made tools.

Xingling's technology belongs to the kind of extremely complex precision machinery.

There are no precision machined machines, let alone the construction of powerful siege behemoths like dragon knights or immortals.

Even a mechanical warrior like the vigilant is probably difficult for Lin An to create.

Under the superposition of various factors, Lin An had to spend nearly a year in the world to build such a set of simple forging furnaces of his own.

Although the function and performance are not as convenient as Xingling's forge, it finally gives Lin An the ability to build low-level troops.

Alerts, Detectors, and Unmanned Small Aircraft.

This is what Lin An has figured out in a lot of drawings, and it is currently the most suitable for the three types of troops that he has upgraded to Tanji.

If you want to talk about combat power, a vigilant person who is mechanically constructed, and a single knife is enough to tear through the steel tracks.

It is undoubtedly the upgrade route that Lin An wants the most.

As long as he completes the upgrade from Tanji to Vigilance, he himself can basically be successfully promoted from an ordinary summoner apprentice.

A first-order mechanic summoner with a powerful mechsoul warrior.

But with the resources and technology he currently has in his hands, it will take at least half a year to rub out a vigilant armor.

And this is something that can only be done if he is not short of materials.

In contrast, detectors that can only be briefly invisible, and small and lightweight drones.

On the contrary, they are the two arms that Lin An can upgrade into the fastest in a short period of time.

Lin An has been struggling with this matter for almost a week, and he himself feels that if he continues to be so entangled, he is afraid that he will be able to collect the materials needed by the vigilantes during the period of working in the Mechanical Research Institute.

At that time, he won't have to continue to struggle.
