"Don’t worry about your original work, let’s work together."
Li Ang pulled up a folding chair and sat down beside Andasu. The White Wolf’s expression went through several changes. Among the overly complex expressions, the only emotion Li Ang could clearly identify was "happiness".
So, the young girl nervously handled the mechanical parts while Li Ang crafted alchemy tools. They sat very close, which caused Andasu to be distracted several times. It was only her innate talent keeping her from making any errors.
Once again, Li Ang realized that, after being reversed, she was too easily affected by the outside world, losing the focus she once had. Fortunately, her sincerity towards her hobbies remained unchanged.
He didn’t want to disturb her; he just wanted to casually observe how skilled the White Wolf was as a Mechanical Engineer.
[Name: Andasu Umore]
[Race: Beast-Earkin [Yunxiang Race]]
[Profession: Evil Assassin, Tier 6. Incense Attendant, Tier 6. Mechanical Engineer, Tier 6]
[Summoned Beast: Multifunctional wolf-shaped transforming robot, Tier 5]
[Energy Source: None]
[Equipment: None]
[Secret Technique: Comprehensive Secret Technique — King of the Wolf Pack, Professional Secret Technique — Dark Wolf Assault]
[Skills: Race [Wolf King’s Blood Fragrance, Potential Activation], Mechanical Engineer [Mechanical Knowledge, Mechanical Creation, Airship Master] (partially unavailable), Evil Assassin [Yunxiang Assassination Technique, Shadow Wolf, Evil Destruction] (unavailable), Incense Attendant [Stealth Combat Skill, Spice Preparation, Wolf Fragrance] (unavailable)]
[Combat Power Amplification: 221% (-214%) [Abnormal Decrease]]
In various aspects, she surprised Li Ang a little.
During the days in Thousand Tower City, the girls had all improved, and they were all getting very close to the Excellence Realm.
The combat power amplification recorded in their stats had already surpassed anyone he had seen in the Transcendent Realm.
Someone like Andasu, an outstanding descendant of an Extraterrestrial Beast, unknown to the modern Nebis people, was exemplary among them, gathering the potential and power of the entire race within herself. Plus, the unreasonable skills of an Evil Assassin meant she could easily surpass average Tier 7 opponents.
The overall power of others expressed similarly in terms of concept.
However, the false memories covered by the Reversed World, although they didn’t take away their original strength, caused them to forget and thus couldn’t be utilized.
These obvious parts didn’t surprise him much; he was more interested in observing her advancements in the field of Mechanical Engineering.
Previously, whether it was Cormac’s Journal or other mechanical resources, Li Ang had left them for her. Over this time, she had eagerly absorbed them, finally elevating herself to the level of being able to create practical robots.
The initially charming and adorable assistant robot also had transformation functions, being able to extend its body and limbs to become a wolf-shaped machine for combat.
Just this mechanical wolf would mean many Mage Students wouldn’t be able to stand against her.
Li Ang looked at some temporarily disassembled mechanical parts in the camp, which seemed to belong to other robot models. From the forest monster legends told by Meimei, some strange rumors were caused by these guys.
However, the flaw of this wolf-shaped robot was that part of its structure was allocated to functionality, which hindered its ability to be fully specialized for combat. Combat could potentially damage its functional modules.
Li Ang remembered discussing with her that in Mechanical Creation, being comprehensive might not yield better results than specialized approaches. She surely understood this point.
The mechanical contraption at hand was likely something she created in the Reversed World. In reality, her skills as a Mechanical Engineer were already much higher.
After finishing reviewing Andasu’s information, Li Ang took a deep breath and completed crafting the alchemy tools, including the crucible, stirring rod, preparation set, and mixing bottle set, all ready at hand.
When he lifted his head, Li Ang was a bit dazed.
The reason was simply that he hadn’t expected that the Beast eared Maiden, who had previously self-identified as a slave and claimed to be at his beck and call, had another side he hadn’t seen before.
Because of Li Ang’s focus, she also became absorbed in her own work. Perhaps without the voices of the Reversed World imposing upon her will, her heart was calm and peaceful, allowing her to immerse herself fully in her tasks. The state she was in while crafting the machinery blended the scholarly aura from her knowledge with the determination to shape steel, exuding a unique charm.
This was a beauty completely different from the shyness of a worshipper, the affection of a lover, and the sensory impact that leaves one lost. It transcended the identity of the Yunxiang Race, revealing the soul’s most essential brilliance shaped by the things she loved.
The face so close to him attracted Li Ang to unconsciously draw nearer.
The tip of the white wolf’s ear twitched slightly, pivoting towards Li Ang’s direction, and the young girl lifted her head.
Seeing Li Ang so close, she was taken aback.
"Li-Li-Li-Li-Li-Li-Li Ang, you-you-you-you-you..."
Her face flushed with a surge of blood and the erupting Blood Fragrance appeared simultaneously, but Andasu didn’t jump up or run away.
"Uh, I just thought you seemed very happy."
Li Ang smiled slightly. He wasn’t feeling too awkward, just a little bit. Although in the Reversed World she wasn’t familiar with him yet, she was still his person, so approaching her to take a look didn’t seem out of place.
"I-I am indeed very happy..."
The White Wolf couldn’t conceal her blushing cheeks, so she lay on the table, burying her face in the circle of her arms.
The girl’s voice came from the crook of her arm, humming slightly.
"I-today was the first time, while playing with machinery, I didn’t hear their voices..."
"Hear? Whose voices?"
"Those people, classmates, teachers. I didn’t dare to say I liked machinery. I don’t know why, but I always wondered what they would say if they knew I actually liked playing with machinery while attending Magic Academy. Would they get angry? Or ridicule me? I truly feared that."
