Start By Parsing The Sun

Chapter 359: [358] Could this beautiful woman also be interested in me?

Considering the transformation, or rather hatching, of the Divine Fire Dragon, it would take about two days.

Therefore, Cheng Han didn't pay too much attention to it and started drawing the second blueprint.

Occasionally, he would glance at the scenery outside the window.

To be honest, there wasn't much scenery to speak of when traveling long distances on an airship.

Because the view inside the Heavenly Passage was completely monotonous, whether looking forward or backward, all that could be seen was the endless extension of the passage.

It seemed to be endlessly long.

Occasionally, when the airship formation flew past a spiritual branch node, the diameter of the Heavenly Passage would suddenly shrink, and the passengers couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Cheng Han was no exception.

He even stopped drawing and analyzed it.

The result made him sigh in his heart, "The Divine Banyan Tree also talks about science!"

After a while, several passengers in the first-class cabin, who seemed to be merchants and familiar with each other, entered the spacious observation hall together.

Cheng Han glanced at them from the corner of his eye and put the blueprint back into his briefcase.

The design blueprint was too important. It wouldn't be a big problem if a child took a look, but if an adult saw it, it could cause unexpected trouble.

Soon, this group of merchants enthusiastically discussed the function of the nodes.

"It should be to make the spiritual branches more sturdy."

"I think so too. The nodes are thicker and naturally have higher strength."

"The thinnest part of the spiritual branch is at least twenty kilometers! I think it's not a matter of strength, but to avoid strong winds inside the passage."

"That makes sense! When the nodes suddenly shrink, the strong winds coming from the outside will be obstructed and won't become stronger."

The group of people argued for a while, but no one could convince anyone.

Just at this moment, a chubby merchant turned his head and glanced at Cheng Han. His gaze swept across the drawing board and various drawing tools, and he asked, "Sir, are you a mechanical designer? Can you talk about your views?"

The gazes of the group of people all gathered on Cheng Han in an instant.

Cheng Han thought for a moment and truthfully stated his views, "The main purpose of the nodes is to reduce the damage caused by vibrations to the spiritual branches."

The chubby merchant was a bit confused, "Vibrations?"

The others all had a look of disagreement.

A bearded merchant muttered with suspicion, "What damage can vibrations cause? Nodes have nothing to do with vibrations, right?"

Cheng Han took out a thin thread from his briefcase and smiled slightly, "Watch closely."

He shook it lightly, and the thin thread instantly broke into a straight line.

Then he shook it again, and the thin thread formed a ripple, quickly moving towards the other end, with the amplitude of the ripple becoming larger and larger.

This was a very intuitive demonstration.

Cheng Han explained, "The airspace outside the spiritual branches is constantly windy. The wind can cause vibrations in the spiritual branches."

"If the vibrations are not dissipated and continue to propagate inside the spiritual branches, the internal damage will become larger and eventually break."

Just as he said "break," Cheng Han forcefully shook the thread, and it broke.

At this point, even the most foolish person completely understood.

The chubby merchant was convinced, "So that's how it is! Mr. Designer, your knowledge is truly profound."

The previous address was "nǐ," but now it quietly changed to "nín." The contrast between the two showed the subtlety of human nature.

The bearded merchant glanced at the broken thread and tentatively asked, "Sir, have you practiced the Nine Elements Battle Technique?"

Cheng Han nodded with a smile, "I recently condensed the Source Sensing Seal."

This was not a lie because condensing the Source Sensing Seal was indeed something that happened about a year ago, which could be considered "recent."

The bearded merchant immediately flattered, "You are truly talented, young sir!"

Another merchant with graying temples couldn't help but say, "Sir, I plan to establish a factory in the Tai'an Small Spiritual Realm."

"Mechanical designers as outstanding as you are exactly the talents that the factory urgently needs. I am willing to hire you with a high salary of six gold coins."

Many artisans in the Science Demon Research Institute and the Heavenly Workshop didn't even earn six gold coins a month, so this could indeed be considered a "high salary."

Of course, the benefits provided by the Xuan Palace to artisans were not just limited to salary. They also included various subsidies and higher social status.

Even an artisan in the Xuan Palace who earned four gold coins a month would not be interested in a salary of six gold coins in an external factory.

The chubby merchant's eyes flickered, and he started to raise the price, "Sir, I am willing to offer eight gold coins. Are you interested in working for my factory?"

The merchant with graying temples became a little angry, "Yào Zhōng, are you not following the rules? Clearly, I made the invitation first, and this sir hasn't refused yet."

The fat businessman had a pleasant smile, but his words were sharp: "I believe that with Mr.'s outstanding talent, you deserve better treatment."

The underlying meaning was, it's rare to come across a true talent, who the hell would follow the rules with you?

The other businessmen also seemed eager to join the "bidding" with an eager look.

This was unexpected.

Cheng Han couldn't sit still and quickly said, "Sorry, I am currently traveling through various small realms and don't plan on working for now," then quickly left.

He felt a bit helpless.

The chief of the Red Armor Hall in the Xuan Palace was invited to work as a designer in a factory one day?

Soon after.

This incident that happened in the observation hall spread throughout the entire first-class cabin.

An hour later.

When Cheng Han was dining in the first-class cabin's exclusive restaurant, he ran into the beautiful woman who had just delivered pastries, as well as the twin sisters.

Through deduction, he already knew that the other party was a widow and a businesswoman who managed a factory.

The other party actually smiled and called him "Mr. Designer."

The two little girls happily called him another title, "Mr. Painter."

Cheng Han felt helpless and politely replied, "Madam, the pastries you made are delicious."

The smile in the beautiful woman's eyes deepened, "Then I'll bring you some more later."

Cheng Han had a bad feeling.

He knew very well that this beautiful woman was probably interested in him and was trying to win him over through this method.

Speaking of which.

The "competition" Cheng Han encountered was not a strange thing.

The industrial revolution caused by the Kemo internal combustion engine was on the verge of a major outbreak.

Professionals who were proficient in mechanical design were extremely scarce in today's market. When businessmen rarely encountered one, they naturally competed to extend invitations.

*

The first-class cabin's number one restaurant, separate from the second and third-class cabins' number two restaurant, had a decent environment and the food was not bad, worthy of the price of a first-class ticket.

Cheng Han didn't dare to stay for long, quickly finished his meal, and returned to his single room.

"Bang!"

The cabin door closed.

Cheng Han had a thought.

Stars appeared.

A halo flashed.

The image of a group of war hawks appeared in the center of the screen.

There were also three Xuan boats following behind the formation, serving as escorts.

It was a "fishing" team led by the chief of the Tianjing Hall, Xuan Master Ling Ye.

"Woo~"

The void outside the Spirit Branch roared endlessly with fierce winds.

The name Void Wind Realm originated from this.

From time to time, a war hawk would suddenly drift a distance or even roll several times in a strange manner, clearly being caught in a turbulent flow.

Although it looked extremely dangerous, for a warrior to enter an area that only Xuan Masters could appear in was itself a symbolic act.

Cheng Han watched for a few seconds and muttered softly, "Is the follower of the Divine God planning to launch an attack in the Spirit Branch, or is it in the small realm where the war hawks stop along the way?"

He had another thought.

More than ten black lines appeared out of thin air.

Voices sounded one by one in his mind.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency, the Netherworld sends its regards!"

Each black line represented a link between the Netherworld and the Secret Realm Xuan Seal.

And after the Xuan Seal reached the second rank, the Netherworld's combat power also increased significantly.

For this operation, he gathered a total of eighteen Netherworld members, each with combat power no less than that of a high-ranking Xuan Master.

Cheng Han smiled, "Who's hunting who is still uncertain!"

Just then.

"Boom! Boom!"

The door suddenly sounded.

The voice of the beautiful woman followed, "Mr. Designer, are you in the room?"

Cheng Han secretly felt a headache.

He had a feeling that this woman not only had the intention of hiring him as a designer, but she might also have other intentions.

Just traveling by airship, how did it turn into such a mess?
