The study of Mechanical Science is not very dangerous.
Its content involves learning various mechanical diagrams, memorizing the principles and knowledge of different machines, and assembly methods, some of which are intertwined with Magic Energy.
Mechanical creations can produce many powerful combat tools.
For example, Concussion Grenades, Magic Energy Cannons, and so on.
However, most Mechanics are in logistics; those who actually go to the front lines are very rare.
Baiyu focused intently on studying Mechanical Science knowledge, finally understanding what Erza meant by agony.
It wasn’t because of women.
It’s the feeling when others are happily playing, while you are the only one burying your head in hard study, simply unbearable.
Happiness belongs to others; all I have is loneliness.
Baiyu once again experienced the loneliness of being a dunce in his past life, but unlike before, he was already different.
A true scholar never needs rest!
"Celestial Fire Demon Energy Pistol blueprint."
"Mechanical Electromagnetic Bomb blueprint."
"The fastest method of mechanical assembly."
"Practical application of Mechanical Science."
Massive amounts of information kept flooding into his mind.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Until the afternoon sun dipped westwise, the sky painted with red clouds, everyone else had already left. The entire outdoor swimming pool was left with only Erza and Baiyu in this solitary setting.
Erza’s green eyes flickered with satisfaction.
The thick second volume of Mechanical Science in Baiyu’s hand had also been mostly read, his temples throbbing with pain as he was about to take a break.
[Scholar’s Space upgrade complete, version 1.0 is now available. Please rest assured to use it]
[During the system upgrade, accumulated Mechanical Science knowledge points 650 points, Mechanical Science level upgrade LV1]
[Received discipline upgrade reward: Mechanical Science Aptitude LV1, one random Scholar Secret Technique]
Three messages echoed in his mind.
Baiyu was rejoiced in his heart. This Scholar’s Space was finally upgraded, and during this time, the Mechanical Science knowledge he researched was counted as knowledge points.
Although he was excited inside, he did not immediately enter the space.
"Today’s performance was good; when studying, you were focused, with an excellent mindset. Tomorrow, Master Qiong Yue will meet you. I’ve basically taught everything I can except for Mechanical Science; a lot you can’t learn right now."
Seeing Baiyu exit his deep learning state, Erza satisfactorily closed her textbook.
"Do you know what Senior Qiong Yue wants to see me about?"
Erza shook her head, unsure if she was unclear or didn’t want to reveal it to Baiyu. After putting away that large stack of textbooks, she floated away like a limp fish.
Baiyu sat alone on the chair, his consciousness diving into the Scholar’s Space.
A bottle of Sprite appeared in the reward drawer again. With his previous experience, he gulped it down.
A brand new ability appeared in his mind.
[Scholar Secret Technique: Mechanical Realm]
Effect: Allows the storage of all mechanical items for convenient retrieval at any time. The area is related to ability level; the higher the Mechanical Science level, the larger the area, with an initial area of ten cubic meters.
Explanation: A normal storage space for a Mechanic, containing all the Mechanic’s belongings.
Note: There is nothing that firepower can’t solve; if there is, it means the firepower is insufficient. Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, six roots purified depleted uranium bullets. With three thousand six hundred spins, the world is saved with great compassion.
"Isn’t it just a storage space for certain items..."
Baiyu complained weakly.
Ten cubic meters, this space is neither too big nor too small, already enough to store many mechanical parts. But what use is it, maybe assembling in front of the enemy during a battle?
If Mechanics can battle, that means there’s a way to solve this problem.
It’s very likely that he hasn’t learned enough Mechanical Science knowledge yet.
It involves knowledge related to Energy Levels and Transformation, so many Mechanical Patrols and Transformations are made by Mechanics.
For example, the Bounty Hunter he met at the Dead Dog Tavern was a Mechanical Transformation, having turned part of his body into machinery.
His strength was also formidable.
Baiyu discarded this thought, feeling that Qiong Yue and Pang Fei must have a deeper reason for having him study Mechanical Science, not merely for maintaining Erza.
He had never seen a Mechanic nor witnessed similar battles.
So he couldn’t figure it out.
Now with the Scholar Secret Technique in hand, Baiyu finally looked at the refreshed Scholar’s Space.
No new equipment had appeared.
The wall facing him was still the knowledge tree, only the corresponding Scholar Secret Techniques were now listed after each discipline, beside his personal status dashboard.
The left wall was the task panel.
Next to it was the lottery screen.
Below the wall was the cabinet for storing rewards.
The entire Scholar’s Space had been upgraded, becoming somewhat larger and the walls more metallic.
Even these screen frames shimmered with a metallic luster, and in the room’s southwest corner, the coffin for entering the Dream Battlefield had turned silvery-white.
The entire Scholar’s Space had changed.
Originally, the surroundings were four solid walls, but after the upgrade, these walls had faded somewhat, allowing a view of the endless black fog outside.
"It’s different from the white fog on the Dream Battlefield, not sure what this means."
Baiyu pondered for a while, unable to understand the purpose of this change.
Because he still couldn’t walk out.
The walls were real, only becoming more transparent.
Cang Yan was sleeping in the corner, having fallen into deep sleep since it absorbed the Blood Qi remaining from Baiyu’s use of the Ancient Quenching and Forging Technique, seemingly growing stronger?
He didn’t bother with it.
The task panel’s tasks hadn’t refreshed yet, probably having to wait until midnight.
Baiyu thought the biggest change of this upgrade was likely the task panel system.
Since the tasks hadn’t refreshed, he exited the space.
Just as his consciousness exited the Scholar’s Space, his phone sounded in his pocket.
A stranger invited him to join a group chat.
"Profound Celestial Pivot? Who is that."
He clicked reject directly.
He glanced at the WeChat messages. Ning Qian had sent several messages, and besides that, Pang Fei was asking about his study progress.
Ning Qian seemed to be undergoing brutal devil training.
As a wealthy lady, she lacked no resources, so hiring someone to cram knowledge before the college entrance exams was quite normal.
He looked for two seconds.
Then again, ding dong, several messages popped up.
"Song Song Song Xu invites you to join a group chat."
"Vajra invites you to join a group chat."
"I Want Bigger invites you to join a group chat."
These invitations all came from a group chat, Maple Leaf County Southwest Six Cities Learning Support Group...
Treating it like a chat group game?
Baiyu hesitated for a moment, then clicked accept.
