Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 877 - 435: Mom Is Sniping with Someone on Banana Avenue

The next day.

The large stone fiercely slept against the chest, leaving Zhang Ze feeling refreshed as he got dressed.

Zhang Ze sighed in his heart; this Innate Dao Body truly lives up to being a Divine Skill as it can repeatedly refresh one's state, offering endurance far beyond before.

If it weren't for other pressing matters, he could crush stones like this for several more days without difficulty.

Holding a cup of golden goji tea, Zhang Ze stepped to the side of the Thousand Mechanism Magical Artifact.

The crystal stone Zhang Ze placed in the Thousand Mechanism Magical Artifact yesterday has completed its refinement; it's currently undergoing final nurturing and will be ready in a few moments.

To ensure stability, Zhang Ze summoned an array, adjusting a few array talismans to make it more secure.

While checking, Junior Sister's voice rang from behind.

"Brother, chest crushed by a large stone."

Zhang Ze, "Didn't we already sleep? Why again?"

"Not that!" Junior Sister shyly replied, "It's a real stone-crushing performance, genuinely prepared for you, who rushed so impatiently last night..."

Tenderly spitting, Junior Sister gestured for Zhang Ze to come closer.

Confused, Zhang Ze approached, sitting before the stone table, ready to watch the new program.

Logically, chest-crushing besides requiring the chest also needs a large stone and a hammer, but Zhang Ze looked around for a while and found neither.

"Where's the hammer?" Zhang Ze asked.

"You need no hammer, just a chest is enough, watch closely, Brother." Junior Sister held her hands in front, raised them, then slammed down.

With a muffled sound, Zhang Ze dazedly watched as cracks spread across the stone table from the impact point.

Moments later, the stone table had turned into a pile of rubble.

"Am I amazing, Brother!" Junior Sister said happily.

Zhang Ze looked at Chen Qin with a complex expression, reaching out to feel her forehead.

Cool to the touch, unlike a fever, yet why did it become so abstract.

"Is this some new trick?" Zhang Ze's expression remained complex.

"What are you thinking? This is the Acquired Dao Body! I've also refined it!" Junior Sister said boastfully.

Zhang Ze's expression grew more complex.

The sign of entry into the Acquired Dao Body is the Dao transformation of a small portion of the body, without any fixed location.

So, Junior Sister doing it like this isn't entirely out of bounds...

"I understand the principles, but why show it through this program?" Zhang Ze gently raised a hand, restoring the shattered stone table before him.

"Because I can only transform here, showing directly makes me shy. Plus, besides you, I have nowhere else to display it." Junior Sister formed a spell and reverted.

Zhang Ze reached out to verify it had indeed returned to normal.

Junior Sister's words made logical sense, and after pondering for a long time, he found no reason to refute.

In the end, he couldn't help but wonder how much responsibility he should bear for Junior Sister becoming so abstract.

Oh well, let it be.

Finally, Zhang Ze could only respond dryly, "Pretty good transformation, but let's not do it again next time; I prefer the original."

Junior Sister pouted, seemingly dissatisfied with Zhang Ze's reaction.

From her expression, she seemed eager to bump into him again.

Seeing this, Zhang Ze took a step back, preparing to escape.

At that moment, a sudden beep sounded behind him as the overnight-refined crystal stone freshly emerged.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Ze raised his hand to retrieve the crystal stone, and along with it, he collected the complete set of Thousand Mechanism Magical Artifact.

"I have to step out for a moment; I'll be back soon."

With that, Zhang Ze vanished into a plume of green smoke.

...

Re-opening his eyes, Zhang Ze found himself in front of the System House; after verifying his identity, he descended all the way to the bottom.

According to Fuji's reliable intelligence, Mother-in-law and Sect Leader Lu are hidden here, researching the telescope.

The specific progress is yet unknowable.

All that's known is their general plan to first create a space completely isolated from Spiritual Qi and Earth Sea influence, then place the telescope inside.

In order to shield common techniques from Spiritual Qi interference.

Zhang Ze's visit was precisely to contribute to this venture.

Walking through the silver-white corridor, the crystal stone in Zhang Ze's hand emits a faint white glow, containing a tiny chip within.

Freshly crafted.

...

Aside from Luoyu Mountain, White Emperor City also retains much technology from the old era.

However, despite Xiangxiang and the Star Spirits drawing on some of the ideas, due to the limitations of Spiritual Qi, its development has shifted from the original technology to something completely contrary and strangely offbeat.

A technical system that's orphaned without Star Spirits to operate.

As for the minuscule ancestral technology unearthed and the inspirations gained from Zhang Ze, the preservation is all Xiangxiang and others have accomplished.

Until recently, because of the celestial barrier and telescope, these technologies have been revisited.

Although the current progress of Mother-in-law's work remains unknown, Zhang Ze believes in a space insulated from Spiritual Qi, free from spell influence, a computer should function significantly.

Whether for calculations or mapping, it should be useful.

As for many of the crucial technical details missing, those aren't an issue, Zhang Ze isn't aiming to recreate an entire tech tree, he just wants results.

Thus, many of the intermediate production steps, he's planning to substitute with Immortal Cultivation techniques.

The produced items won't suffer damage from Spiritual Qi as long as they're not activated.

Holding the crystal stone, Zhang Ze feels the Thousand Mechanism photolithography machine he crafted and the chip sample will surely earn Mother-in-law's praise, scoring high on impression management.

As he delightfully imagines this, Zhang Ze bumps into Xiangxiang floating out from a side path.
