Explorer of Teyvat

Leaving Northland Bank

Wang Daoyi walked towards the school under the student aid program. With the help of Ning Guang and the Adventurers Association, a large school was built at the foot of Tianheng Mountain, housing hundreds of orphans to study and gain enlightenment.

Listening to the sound of reading, Wang Daoyi nodded with satisfaction. This is right. Children should study. It doesn't matter if they run around outside all day long. Go back and tell Abatuyi that he will take one test in three days. , take one exam every five days, only in this way can you become a talent.

Under Wang Daoyi's 'malice', the children who were studying shuddered, feeling that a demon called the exam was about to envelope their childhood.

Without disturbing Abatuyi who was teaching, Wang Dao went straight to the teacher's office.

There are seven or eight seats in the small room. In addition to Abatui, there are several retired old gentlemen who are also teaching orphans here. Well, they are all sent in by Ningguang. Wang Daoyi thinks she wants to pass. These old gentlemen brainwash children.

Because recently, the children in the school, in addition to the mechanical toys Abatuyi made for them, like these old gentlemen telling the story of Qixing assisting the emperor in managing Liyue.

Sitting down in Abatui's seat, Wang Daoyi saw that in addition to some children's enlightenment books on his desk, there was also a large amount of mechanical information. There were also many mechanical parts on the small desk.

Wang Dao curled his lips, it turned out that all the money was used to buy these things, no wonder he went to the teahouse every now and then to eat and drink.

Of course, the information that can be placed casually on the desk is not important. Wang Dao looked at these drawings and picked up the mechanical materials on the desk.

After three strokes, five divisions and two divisions, a crude mechanical frog was assembled.

Turn on the reserved switch and place the mechanical frog on the table. The mechanical frog will start jumping around just like the real thing.

It's a pity that after just a few jumps, he fell down.

"Machines powered by clockwork are like this. They can move in a short time and can only be used as toys for children. They don't have much development value!"

It was Abatuyi. After class, he returned to the office and happened to see Wang Daoyi playing with the mechanical frog, so he couldn't help but say.

Nodding and expressing his agreement with his point of view, Wang Daoyi put down the mechanical frog in his hand: "It's a very interesting educational toy. You can ask Tianquan for a sum of funds and try to operate this toy. Maybe you can get some very interesting toys." Good feedback.”

Children in Liyue have many toys and play many games, but such mechanical toys are still rare.

"Really, that's great!"

Abatuyi is very happy. His research consumes too much money. It is difficult to support his research with the salary from the assistantship alone.

After the happy Abatuyi laughed for a few minutes, Wang Daoyi continued to ask: "Abatuyi, are you still continuing to study mechanical life?"

Abatuyi's smile froze. He didn't know what Wang Daoyi meant. Whether he didn't want him to study it or whether he agreed to it.

After a moment of silence, Abatuyi said: "Yes, boss, I am still continuing to study this field, but I will ensure safety and will not hurt everyone!"

Wang Dao nodded and did not scold Abatuyi as he thought. Instead, he looked at the mechanical parts on the table.

"Mechanical life is a complex and profound field. You can't just use these parts to study it!"

Abatuyi blushed. He had been fiddling with these mechanical parts recently.

"No, no, boss, my research partner is not here. Its appearance may cause panic, so I placed it in the wild!"

"Huh? Do you have a research partner?"

"Yes, but it's not a human. It's a mechanical crab. Oh, it's the ruins defender that adventurers call it!"

Speaking of this research partner, Abatuyi smiled and seemed to like it very much, "I can come from Xumi to Liyue alone, and it has contributed a lot!"

Wang Dao also showed interest in his eyes, "It's really interesting to have a ruin defender whom you call your partner."

Looking into Abatui's eyes: "Then, can I go see your mechanical partner?"

Seeing that Wang Daoyi didn't hate his research, Abatui felt relieved. After hesitating for a while, he nodded and agreed to Wang Daoyi's request.

The two packed up and left the school.

The location where Abatuyi placed his mechanical companions was very remote. It could be seen that he had developed skilled evasion skills under the ban of the Sumeru Order.

Passing through a dense bush, Wang Daoyi quickly discovered some traces, the ground that had been trampled by heavy objects.

Abatui's reaction also confirmed Wang Daoyi's discovery.

"Kakata, I'm here to see you, Kakata, come out quickly!"

Following Abatui's call, Wang Daoyi soon heard the sound of mechanical activity, and a ruins defender emerged from the bushes not far away.

Different from the color of ordinary ruins defenders, the color of this mechanical crab is somewhat white.

"Gulu!?"

The white ruins defender rubbed Abatuyi closely, and then saw Wang Daoyi not far away. He made a frightened tone in a very humane voice, and immediately protected Abatuyi behind him.

Seeing the reaction of the mechanical crab, Abatui quickly hugged one of its thighs and comforted him: "Kakata, you are not an enemy, Kakata is a friend!"

"Gulu~"

Perhaps because he understood Abatui's words, or because Abatui had set such comforting instructions in advance, Kakata put away his weapon against Wang Daoyi.

Wang Daoyi smiled. He didn't care about Kakata's threat of force. The ruins defenders of this level could not threaten him.

However, Wang Daoyi was really surprised by the interaction between Kakata and Abatuyi. The intelligence displayed by this mechanical crab named Kakata has far exceeded that of its kind.

"This machine... Kakata, is it intelligent?"

With shock in his eyes, Wang Daoyi looked at Abatuyi.

Unfortunately, when faced with Wang Daoyi's question, Abatuyi shook his head in despair.

"Kakata has computing power that far exceeds that of the ruins defenders. I loaded it with a large number of simulation modules, but it is still not an intelligent life. It cannot think independently. All actions are programmed by me!"

Wang Daoyi was even more shocked by Abatuyi's answer. He didn't expect that the scholar he picked up was really a super genius in one field.

"Perhaps, you can really successfully create a mechanical intelligent life. This... Kakata may be the first mechanical life to evolve completely from humans!"

Faced with Wang Daoyi's praise, Abatui just smiled. The deeper he studied, the more he felt that he was far away from his goal. Sometimes he didn't know why he persisted.

Then he looked at Kakata rolling on the side lovingly, and Abatui nodded: "Yes, Kakata will become a real life!"
