Chapter 2278 - 853: The Little Robot with Impressive Origins

"No..." The ’Magic Sword’ was just about to take the credit when his own Clan Leader slapped him away... sending him crashing headfirst to the ground from the pillar.

The guys below seemed to have lost their guard due to the quietness over time, and several of them were hit directly and knocked away by the falling red envelope.

Their luck was obviously not so good, and they had no intention of cooperating with each other... the sound of ’Magic Sword’ falling was quite loud, and a few Priests further away didn’t completely ignore the commotion above.

But they just shouted ’Ah, ah, ah, danger!’, and only after people were hit did they belatedly go to heal those with almost no health left.

A normal Priest, even if not that skilled... in such a situation, the first reaction should be to add a Protective Shield to the people in the area where ’Magic Sword’ fell.

"Over there, could it be those two young ladies from Wenjian and their friends?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ couldn’t help but ask ’Perfect Bald’.

He couldn’t even remember his own people very well, let alone know if he’d seen the faces of the young ladies before.

"No. Those two haven’t been online since they were expelled from the clan." ’Perfect Bald’ shook his head, "Though they still hold a bit of wishful thinking, knowing they can’t escape, they absolutely wouldn’t appear in front of classmates again.

And since they’re almost graduating, otherwise, they wouldn’t be acting so directly."

"True, the last two years of college are mostly practical." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ nodded, "They have their own places to go... right, the husbands they are targeting don’t seem to be from the same class, right?"

If it was just for some excellent rich kids, they definitely wouldn’t make things so extreme... a lot of people in Wenjian knew they were accompanying someone to play the game.

"Did someone’s family go bankrupt?" ’Magic Sword’, who had just resurrected, asked curiously.

"One went bankrupt, and the other one, the person they’re interested in, might not be interested in her at all.

He’s probably one of those elites in the student council.

If you get into Academy Star, just putting in some effort would mean that you can support yourself.

If you’re a bit capable, you can even support your family, so there’s no way you’d bow down for money.

The two have pretty good taste, and their family is quite a standard traditional family."

’Snow Cloud Peak’ nodded... though he felt out of place with such families, it didn’t mean he didn’t understand these things.

This family was obviously an absolute core system, or in other words, a feudal relic type of family.

Even though such a system seems like it should be thrown into the trash heap of history, they are the ones most likely to preserve themselves in times of disaster... after all, the layers of family blood wrapped around the core are thick enough.

Of course, this also requires the few carefully selected cores to truly have capability, strength, and a good conscience.

But honestly, if the Main Handler can really maintain that system unwaveringly and without much selfishness, them surviving feels quite normal.

However, such families, though they hold a certain status and capability, it’s difficult for them to rise to the very top.

There aren’t many families that can compare to those originating from Ink Brush.

After all, once family members know that their future is nothing but a stagnant pool... crucially, even if they aren’t core personnel, the family wouldn’t allow them to go outside to do anything.

Unless they can leave the family with nothing, not taking a penny... not even parental support.

If they had that kind of ability, they would have been considered elites by the family long ago!

Even if there are occasional outliers, most of the fish would still stay in the pond, getting fat, living lazily.

Such a family naturally has no vitality.

Moreover, once day comes when the Main Handler becomes too selfish... collapse is inevitable.

After all, in Interstellar Society, saying family is nothing but a distribution of various shares and funds.

If he really wants to leave things for his own people, there are ways.

Even if there are those who can keep a bit of responsibility when their own children aren’t qualified but still have to work for someone else’s future, can they still devote themselves heart and soul to this family?

For such a family, leaving too much money behind is actually a disaster.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ really disliked such families, and was somewhat impatient with those from such backgrounds.

Communicating with them was too difficult.

Their reliance and respect for their family naturally put them on the ’picking husband’ side.

Just like those sisters who can enter Academy Star.

They weren’t thinking about how to put their future in their own hands... but rather, cooperate with sisters, one finding a man from a big family to rely on for life, the other finding a promising prospect to bring back to the family to work.

Who can’t see through their little schemes?

Supporting each other, dreaming beautifully... but they should see if the two they want to rely on are willing to be their telescope.

One of the reasons why ’Snow Cloud Peak’ keeps away from women is largely influenced by these ’Princesses’.

Their love for him is absolutely passionate and exclusive.

But, to someone as wise as ’Snow Cloud Peak’, he only feels like a giant blood bag.

Even bigger than the ’Magic Sword’ that just fell and directly killed two people and injured several others as a big red envelope.

He glanced down, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth... If it were in the past, these ’princesses’ wouldn’t have stumbled so easily.

No matter how strong one’s abilities, sometimes you can’t fight bad luck.

But now... as long as they don’t want to, neither he nor they need to bear these inexplicable burdens.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

Although he was a bit impulsive and a bit crazy back then, he did indeed contribute his greatest strength to today’s happiness.

Even though the time was short, he never betrayed his battle attire, nor did he go against his beliefs.

He gently closed his eyes and smiled slightly... Not knowing if it was because he let go first that he started seeing some beauty, or if some sincere hearts made him relax.

But indeed, he already had the possibility of walking out of the past and heading towards a new future.

"Oh right, Baldy, why did you hit me?" ’Magic Sword’s voice interrupted ’Snow Cloud Peak’s thoughts.

He silently turned around, hiding his expression... Logically speaking, he should’ve been used to ’Magic Sword’s occasionally smart but mostly silly craziness, but sometimes ’Snow Cloud Peak’ would still reveal a bit of emotion.

After all, this guy was indeed one of his own, so he let his guard down easily.

"Are you really that dumb?" ’Perfect Bald’ said irritably, "Shouldn’t you check the power of his little robot first?

You’re just going in directly; do you want to claw the earth with your fingernails?"

’Magic Sword’ scratched his head: "But, even if that thing is no good, don’t we still have to dig?

Old Dog hasn’t given another way."

’Perfect Bald’ closed his eyes in despair: "Damn, in this world, no one can make me work without paying!"

He’s the project manager!

Working without being paid a startup fee, isn’t that asking to be bullied to death!

’Magic Sword’, this guy, after so many years in engineering, still dares to stand on the client’s side!

"Oh... oh~ oh!" The dramatic tune confirmed that ’Magic Sword’ finally recalled which side he should be on.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ smiled and made a gesture, the gemstone ring on his hand suddenly started spinning... the scattered gemstones being pulled by almost invisible threads, slowly forming into a palm-sized mechanical spider.

Looking at the eager front fangs, Black Rose’s people fell silent instantly.

This spider is actually quite beautiful.

With a high, broad, golden head and a silver single eye distributed on it.

Its body is covered with blue spots, and while its fangs are also golden, when the light flashes, they faintly show a dark color... clearly mingled with Mithril fragments.

The color of the front fangs is even darker, probably with more Mithril dust mixed in.

Though appearing as a whole fang, seeing this thing assembled with their own eyes, they still knew that was all woven from fine threads.

Just those threads, they’re a bit unnaturally strong.

’Perfect Bald’ glanced twice and guessed how ’Snow Cloud Peak’ convinced that Dumas from Aesces to help him build this little robot... Old Dog has a few Mithril sticks like fingers.

This little thing clearly only used a third, the rest is probably the remuneration for the other party.

No wonder that guy was willing to help this favor.

Otherwise, even if Hill’s ring was enough to attract the Alchemist’s attention, it wouldn’t make them put in so much effort.

Heh~ all made in the Rose style too.

"All these materials were provided by you." ’Perfect Bald’ said in a straightforward tone, "The design should also be something you considered yourself.

To be honest, the difference between you and Zhu Meili is really just the mass of maggots.

At least it’s the same pit."

"Why say it so unpleasantly?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ smiled ambiguously, "Can you deny that I picked the best materials and the most appropriate look?"

"What kind of spider is this? A rat spider?" ’Magic Sword’ suddenly looked up from the front of the spider, "Old Dog, did you specifically study spiders?

This thing is a highly venomous ground-dwelling spider, but it’s very rare."

"Oh~" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ blinked, "Ink Brush gathered a lot of materials for a common language with Rose back in the day.

I just used them for a bit myself."

"Did you trade materials for spider silk?" ’Perfect Bald’ also squatted down, his hand couldn’t resist tugging at some joints, "Aesces’ strongest spiders, I’ve seen, definitely aren’t this sturdy."

Having handled countless materials, ’Perfect Bald’ is very confident in his touch.

Moreover, it’s more believable to say ’Snow Cloud Peak’ made that database than that Ink Brush found enough data.

Those two probably used this chance to play out a big reconciliation... No wonder Ink Brush was so motivated even after failing in Aesces.
