Chapter 101 Mechanical Snake
Morning
Due to Kane's room having excellent lighting, plus he forgot to pull the curtains last night.
Now, the warm sunlight is madly caressing his body.
Kane covers his head, extends a hand to poke Cotton Candy beside him.
"How about helping the master pull the curtains?"
"Whiz"
Cotton Candy sways and flies to the window, forcefully pulling the two curtains together.
After doing this, it flew back onto Kane and fell asleep soundly.
Kane pokes his head out and stares at the ceiling.
He can't sleep, but doesn't want to get up either.
Like this, Kane lays on the bed, staring at the ceiling, with a blank mind.
It seems his body finally turned on, Kane slowly slides to the foot of the bed and then collapses on the floor.
He seems to want to forcefully detach his body from laziness in this manner.
Fallen on the floor, Kane must get up, head to the bathroom for washing, and start a new day.
He gets dressed and goes to the living room.
At this time, only Kreya is in the living room having breakfast.
"Morning, I'll get you some breakfast."
Seeing Kane, Kreya greets him and then heads into the kitchen.
Soon, Kane starts eating breakfast in hand.
"Why did you get up so early today?" Kreya suddenly asks.
"I'm going to the post office later to send a letter to my uncle's house, to let them know I'm safe."
Upon hearing Kane's words, Kreya nods and says, "I'm planning to go home for a bit. You can let Longbei and the others know later."
"So urgent? When will you return?"
Hearing Kreya's words, Kane is a bit surprised.
Kreya thinks for a while and says, "About two days later."
Hearing she's just going for a day or two, Kane breathes a sigh of relief.
"Then you should set off early and return early, stay safe."
As for why Kreya is going home, Kane doesn't ask, because that would be too impolite.
Hearing Kane's words, Kreya smiles, then stands up and tidies her clothes, saying, "I'll be off then. Make sure to eat well these few days."
After speaking, she waves at Kane and leaves the villa.
Oh right.
Kane suddenly realizes, Kreya left with their culinary skills.
Better not mention it.
Pulling himself together, quickly focusing on his own breakfast.
After finishing breakfast, Kane also leaves the villa.
On the street, Kane says to Yu-Yu: "Show me the way to the nearest post office."
"Alright" Yu-Yu spins around, then walks ahead of Kane, leading the way.
With Yu-Yu around, there's no need to spend effort studying maps. You just need to follow without worry.
In the morning, various crowds in the city bustle about, striving for life.
Following Yu-Yu, navigating the street's twists and turns, finally arriving at the post office.
The overall color of the post office's exterior is sky blue.
Entering the post office, following guidance, he picks up a number from the side.
Sitting in the waiting area, the guides say it'll be a while until his number is called.
Picking up a magazine from the side, he starts reading.
Oh, Kane is quite interested in the information here.
It talks about the world's long-range communication devices.
This world isn't devoid of long-range communication devices. They once existed, but tests showed only certain areas can use them, unable to cover most regions.
This world is filled everywhere with magic power, alongside various weather and diverse natural phenomena that Kane doesn't understand.
Causing magic power in the air to gather or clear randomly, extremely volatile.
The more intense ones even affect the local climate.
These long-range communication devices rely on the transmission of magic power, needing to avoid air magic power interference to clearly deliver desired messages.
Thus, this technology is only possible in areas with extremely stable magic power.
So mailing, this old-fashioned information transmission method, is still preserved and thriving.
"Number 165, please proceed to counter number 3."
Upon hearing the broadcast, Kane immediately goes to counter number 3.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
Speaking is a human girl with pink hair.
Kane hands over his envelope and says, "I want to send a letter."
She takes the envelope from Kane, checking the information for completeness.
After ensuring all information is complete, she nods to Kane and says, "Alright, we've received this letter. The postage fee is 1 Silver Coin."
Kane hands her a Silver Coin, then leaves the post office.
Returning the original way with Yu-Yu to the villa.
By the time he returns, Longbei and Meizike are already awake, chatting in the living room, or more accurately, Longbei is conversing unilaterally.
Seeing Kane return, Longbei glances behind him.
Asks, "Why are you alone?"
Kane takes off his coat and hangs it on the coat rack, then replies, "Kreya has some matters to attend to, so she went home for a bit. She'll be back in a couple of days."
Longbei nods after listening.
After greeting the two, Kane returns to his room. He now needs to continue researching yesterday's Mechanical Structure.
He drags his skill [Fast Reading] into Skill Grid, picks up the book he hadn't finished from yesterday, and enters reading mode.
Not sure how long.
Kane puts down the book and heads to the window to pull open the curtains.
Outside, the scorching sun hangs high, the glaring sunlight streaming in, instantly brightening the room.
Kane stretches by the window, then calls Yu-Yu over.
He's planning to have Yu-Yu assist him in constructing the mechanical device he has firmly memorized in his mind.
Magic power begins flowing from his hand, gradually forming an invisible object in the air. Kane controls the magic power as he continuously modifies and constructs.
During the construction, Yu-Yu continually scans, occasionally stopping to correct mistakes.
Just like this, stumbling upon bumps begin constructing, sweat starts forming on his forehead.
The mechanical device currently being constructed is one level more difficult than yesterday's cutting disc, even with [Fast Reading]'s help, there is still some difficulty in learning.
Yesterday's cutting disc was just for practice, giving you an idea of what you want to construct.
Now this is the real deal.
Finally, with over half magic power consumed, Kane constructs this mechanical device.
Not that large consumption is needed, it's just Kane continuously revises, pushes over, and rebuilds during construction.
Now in Kane's eyes, the original appearance of this mechanical device is fully revealed.
It's a steel creation similar to a long snake, a machine specially used for surprise attacks.
With a slender body, the head is a sharp triangular arrow, from the connection seams it can be seen that this arrow can shoot out. Looks just like a Steel Snake.
