"This Spatial Terminal's array base has finally been pieced back together by us!"
Qingque wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the scene in front of her with satisfaction.
Although the array base in front of the three was covered in cracks and damage everywhere, it had at least been restored to its original shape.
Its formation circuits could barely function as well.
When Qingque placed the one remaining blue crystal onto the array base, it also emitted faint energy fluctuations.
"Now, the only problem left to solve is the crystals!"
Tingyun's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Qingque with concern:
"That's true, but Sister Qingque, the Master Diviner hasn't called you again for quite some time now. Is this really okay?"
"Oh, you mean this."
"I blocked her, haha!"
"…"
Seeing that Tingyun didn't believe her, Qingque lowered her head, took out her phone, lit up the screen, and showed it to her:
"Look, this way she can't bother me anymore. When she asks later, I'll just say I accidentally pressed the wrong button halfway through!"
March 7th was still somewhat anxious at this moment.
No matter how you put it, this array base had been broken by her. Although Fu Xuan might not blame her and would instead scold Qingque for not handling things properly…
She still couldn't escape the fact that she had broken the array base.
"Qingque, do you really have a way with these three crystals?" March 7th asked nervously.
If they couldn't activate the crystals, then piecing the array base back together would have been for nothing.
"Oh… well…"
Qingque scratched her hair and said hesitantly:
"Crystals like these are indeed quite rare. If we go outside to purchase them now, I'm afraid we won't make it in time."
At this.
Qingque turned her gaze to Tingyun and said with a playful, fawning smile:
"Tingyun, does your merchant guild have any fast channels? Preferably the kind where you make a phone call and they can deliver straight into the Divination Commission!"
"Uh, well…"
Tingyun silently opened her fan and covered her pretty face:
"I'm afraid that won't work."
"Ah——then what do we do?!"
"What do you mean 'what do we do'? Are the three of you playing cards here?!" Zeig jumped down from a white mech in the sky and landed steadily.
He slowly stood up and patted his clothes:
"That damn Master Diviner has such a sharp tongue, nagging at me nonstop. Why doesn't she come see for herself, damn it!"
"Zeig, why did you come?" March 7th asked in confusion.
"I didn't want to come either! Are your cerebellums atrophied or something? This array base is just arranging a pattern—how could it take this long? Are you crazy?!"
March 7th helplessly stretched out her small hand and gently pointed forward:
"Look, see for yourself."
"?"
Following the direction March 7th pointed, that array base was filled with all kinds of cracks, and even the crystals on it had been reduced to just one.
"What the hell happened here? Did you throw it into Syria?!"
"No, why aren't there any Titans?"
Zeig put both hands in his pockets, narrowed his eyes, and looked around.
The Divination Commission should be full of mechs everywhere. Why wasn't there even one here?
Immediately after, he silently turned around.
His gaze fell on the two large pits behind him.
"?"
In those two pits lay the wreckage of the Aurumatons, twitching and trembling.
"Benefactor… here's what happened."
After Tingyun's explanation, Zeig roughly understood the whole process.
He looked at March 7th in shock:
"Damn, don't you look where you're landing? You smashed an entire array base with one foot?!"
"I was in a hurry at the time, okay? Qingque and Tingyun were almost beaten to death!"
March 7th looked at Qingque and Tingyun and shifted the blame:
"If I hadn't stepped in, the ones lying on the ground right now would probably be the two of them!"
"But why didn't you use long-range weapons? With such good equipment, you had to squat on the ground and smash people with your fists? Using an assault rifle like a club?!"
"Forget it! If I had used those things, would this array base still have any chance of being pieced back together like now? It would've been blown to pieces long ago!"
Qingque squeezed between the two of them, pushed them apart with her hands, and said urgently:
"Comrades, now is not the time to blame each other. Hurry up and think of how to fix the crystals!"
"Damn, for such a troublesome matter, why not just call Fu Xuan over to figure it out?"
"No way! Can't we at least try a little first?!"
"Try my ass."
"…"
Under March 7th and Qingque's strong insistence, Zeig still walked around the array base once.
It was broken and shattered everywhere, and it would even creak when someone stepped on it.
In summary…
…it was a barely presentable pile of junk.
"This won't work. It needs more processing!"
"?"
Everyone watched as Zeig took out a bowl of rice from his clothes, then lay down at the edge of the array base, pinched the rice grains in his hand, and started smearing them inside.
"Zeig. What… what are you doing?" March 7th didn't quite understand.
What did this bowl of rice mean? Was it some kind of repair agent produced on another planet?
"Are you blind? Can't you see I'm gluing these fragments back together?"
"?"
"You're using rice grains to glue it?!"
"What else? What's wrong with rice grains? Once they're cooked, aren't they still…"
"Get lost——!!"
After dragging Zeig out, March 7th gritted her teeth and said:
"Friend, can you take out something normal for once and let us broaden our horizons?"
"Hm?"
Hearing the keyword, Zeig's eyes immediately lit up:
"Broaden our horizons?!"
He quickly took out another item from his embrace.
This item was extraordinary!
March 7th, Qingque, and Tingyun couldn't help but lean in closer and carefully look at his palm.
There was actually…
…nothing there.
"…"
"Everyone, I'm about to show off!"
Zeig smiled confidently and directly turned around, charging toward the array base!
"???"
"What is he trying to do?"
"Huh?"
They saw Zeig slide on his knees straight to the side of the array base, his right hand placed in front of his face.
Everyone looked at his back and only heard this sound.
"Ptoo——!!"
Then they saw him start smearing the fragments again.
"…"
Seeing this.
Everyone fell silent for a long while.
Finally.
March 7th silently took out her phone and dialed a number.
…
"Beep beep beep beep——!!"
In some corner of the universe.
A delicate young girl silently pressed the answer button.
"Thud——!!"
"?"
Glancing at the caller information, Herta's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
"Hello? What is it?"
"Ms. Herta… we, we…"
"Did you encounter danger? Didn't I leave a puppet with you? Just activate that. I'll be able to sense things more clearly through the puppet."
"N-No, I don't mean that."
From the phone came March 7th's panicked voice.
"Zeig's condition has gotten even worse! Can you send a psychiatrist over to the Xianzhou as quickly as possible?"
"…"
"I really can't take it anymore! Do you know what he's doing right now?"
"What is he doing?"
"He's using saliva to glue stones. Earlier he was even using cooked rice grains!"
"…"
After a long silence.
Herta chuckled lightly:
"Hehe. That's hilarious."
"You guys must be missing me and joking with me, right?"
"? Do I sound like I'm joking?"
"Enough. See for yourself!"
"?"
(The other party has sent a video file. Download?)
"Ah?"
