Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 196 The Whisper of the Wind

"Look at this 'Wind Whisper' air cannon, it's so exquisite," Guo Shiyi quickly changed the subject.

"I'm afraid it'll look good but be useless," Qin Xiaochuan muttered to himself after glancing at it.

"The parts of this air hand cannon are all made of the latest titanium alloy. The rune array inside was personally imprinted by Elder Luo of Dongcheng. It is not only lightweight and portable, but also greatly enhances wind-type skills. Those who are ignorant will naturally not understand its power," Si Chennan said with a cold sneer.

"Tch, like a peddler praising his own wares," Qin Xiaochuan said dismissively, head held high.

Seeing that Guo Shiyi was staring at the hand cannon, Si Chennan asked, "Shiyi, do you really like this hand cannon? But aren't you using wood-type skills?"

Guo Shiyi nodded and said, "If possible, I hope to buy this hand cannon."

Si Chennan quickly said, "It would be too formal to say I'll buy it. After all, we've been partners on missions together. Since you like it, I'll have someone pack it up and send it to you after the exhibition ends today."

"No need, no need," Guo Shiyi quickly waved her hand and said, "This is too valuable, let me buy it myself. I just don't know if these things on display are for sale."

"Of course we'll sell them, because the purpose of this exhibition is to sell these exhibits, but..." Si Chennan tried to persuade Guo Shiyi to give the hand cannon as a gift, but Guo Shiyi resolutely refused. In the end, Si Chennan had no choice but to call over the robot next to him and have Guo Shiyi pay for the order on the robot.

"Your order has been successfully paid. We will mail it to the address you provided after the exhibition ends today. Thank you again for your support," the robot said politely, and then bowed deeply.

"Shiyi, aren't you a wood-type user? Why did you buy this hand cannon?" Qin Xiaochuan whispered to Guo Shiyi.

"Have you forgotten what Sister Kexin used to save us last time?" Guo Shiyi said, blinking her eyes. "I think Sister Kexin will definitely like this gift."

"Oh right, how come I didn't think of that?" Qin Xiaochuan suddenly realized. "Shiyi, you're so thoughtful."

"That's right." Guo Shiyi proudly raised her head, then teased, "But, considering how good Sister Kexin is to you, you don't even want to repay her in any way."

"Mainly because she always seems indifferent and aloof, I guess there's nothing she likes," Qin Xiaochuan said, scratching his head.

"That's because you don't understand girls." Guo Shiyi blinked.

"Is...is it?" Qin Xiaochuan said awkwardly. Looking at the bright face in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of what had happened before.

After viewing the exhibits in the Spirit Artifacts section, the three of them went to the Intelligent Robots section. In the middle of the section, two humanoid robots were dancing to the rhythm of the music, while two robotic dogs were wagging their tails happily like real dogs, trying to be cute and charming.

Qin Xiaochuan examined the robots closely. Compared to the batch that attacked them before, their design and style were practically identical.

Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi exchanged a glance. Guo Shiyi then asked Si Chennan, "These robots look very high-tech. Besides your company, are there any other companies that can produce such intelligent robots?"

Upon hearing this, Si Chennan immediately replied with pride, "My company has always been at the forefront of manufacturing intelligent robots. The robots you see are just a part of our research results."

Si Chennan listed: "In addition to these, there are semi-autonomous robots—used to help disabled people move freely, micro-robots—to complete tasks in special scenarios, and other special-purpose robots."

"That's really impressive," Guo Shiyi said. Then she pointed to a corridor next to the exhibition area that led deeper into the exhibition hall and asked curiously, "Where does this corridor lead? Why are there people guarding it here? It doesn't seem like there are any guards in other places."

"Oh, that's not an exhibition area, it's our company's internal workplace, like our research institute, so we don't allow guests to go in."

"Ah, so this is your research institute! I really want to visit it. I'm so curious to know how these amazing robots are made!" Guo Shiyi's eyes suddenly lit up as she excitedly said.

"So you like this too? I thought girls wouldn't like these things." Si Chennan was also very excited. "Actually, this is where I usually do some scientific creations. I originally wanted to take you to visit, but I didn't mention it because I was afraid you wouldn't like it."

"How could that be!" Guo Shiyi replied, "Could you really take us on a tour? Thank you so much!"

"Of course," Si Chennan said decisively, then he looked at Qin Xiaochuan and asked coldly, "You've always looked down on our products, so you probably have no interest in visiting, right?"

Qin Xiaochuan raised his head and answered without any politeness: "I'm not interested in the products, but I'm afraid some people will have bad ideas, so I have to stay with Shiyi, protect her, and prevent her from being bullied."

"Hmph, what a persistent nuisance." Si Chennan said this and then ignored him.

Si Chennan led Guo Shiyi (Qin Xiaochuan followed) into the corridor. As he said, there was indeed a large research room at the end of the corridor, filled with scientific research equipment and semi-finished technological products. However, because it was the weekend, only a few people were working overtime, making it rather quiet.

Qin Xiaochuan opened his Heavenly Eye and carefully examined the large research lab. Suddenly, he discovered something unusual at the deepest part of the lab—the location of an elevator. He could see faint spiritual energy flowing on the elevator door.

Si Chennan was leading the two towards his own research lab. Qin Xiaochuan looked at the unusual place and could tell that the spiritual energy came from inside the elevator.

"Could there be some kind of magic array or barrier set up at the elevator?" Qin Xiaochuan wondered to himself.

This surprised Qin Xiaochuan. The exhibition hall only had two floors, and they were currently on the second floor, meaning there was no room to go up. The only way down was the main hall. What secrets could be hidden there? Could it be...?

Qin Xiaochuan suddenly realized something and quickly used his Heavenly Eye to look down at the elevator. To his surprise, all he could see was a hazy gray area, as if a barrier was blocking his Heavenly Eye's view.

"Something's definitely fishy!" Qin Xiaochuan thought to himself. Although he hadn't found any useful information, the fact that the other party had gone to so much trouble here seemed like they were trying to cover something up.

He examined the elevator closely and noticed that a facial recognition system was installed at the elevator entrance. It seemed that to get deeper inside, in addition to breaking the magic array, he would also need to understand modern technology.

Qin Xiaochuan carefully considered the situation and realized that it was probably impossible for him to conduct any further investigation. It seemed that the investigation would have to be handed over to Han Kexin.

While Qin Xiaochuan was pondering this, Si Chennan led the two into his research room.

As soon as the three stepped into the laboratory, it was as if they had triggered some kind of mechanism. All the lights turned on automatically, and all the experimental equipment seemed to come alive, entering a ready state, waiting for their owners to give the order to execute.

Qin Xiaochuan looked inside. The inside was not much different from the outside, except that it was more enclosed and private. In addition to some research and experimental equipment, there were also many finished or semi-finished technological products on display.

"I made all of these myself, so they won't be displayed in the exhibition hall." Si Chennan said to Guo Shiyi as he walked to his workstation. "Look at these biomimetic wings. They're almost finished. Once they're complete, they'll be able to fly in the air like birds, all you need to do is use your spiritual power."

"There's also this titanium alloy exoskeleton system, which can greatly increase jumping and climbing abilities. It took me half a year to design it, and it can be said to be the best equipment for wilderness adventures."

Si Chennan introduced his masterpieces one by one. Although Qin Xiaochuan appeared unimpressed, he couldn't help but admire the other's skills. It seemed that the title of "genius" was indeed well-deserved.

Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi stayed in the research room for a while, but found no further clues. They then deliberately wandered around the exhibition hall before leaving.
