Chapter 68: I'll probably live long enough to send you away.
"No, no, no, let us explain, we're not bad people!" March 7th hurriedly explained.
Seeing March 7th's anxious expression, Hiluva burst into laughter.
“Don’t worry so much. I heard from one of the Iron Guards who can’t keep a tight lip that a few outsiders met with Cocolia—you guys, right?”
“After all, your features are quite distinctive, especially this young lady.” Hiluva turned her gaze to Eve.
"Why?" March 7th asked in confusion.
"Because quite a few Iron Guards have already fallen for it~" Hiluva said with a hint of sarcasm.
She looked at Eve, who was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water; no wonder the Iron Guards said that.
“This…” March 7th was somewhat helpless.
Well, she had to admit that Eve's beauty was indeed hard for anyone to resist, including herself.
"Wait! So you already knew all along!!" March 7th suddenly realized something.
“We just need to confirm this,” Hiluva chuckled. “After all, there used to be this blue-haired conman who kept bothering us.”
"Blue hair...."
"fraud....."
March 7th and Eve suddenly remembered something.
Sure enough, that old swindler was sent to jail; it truly was a service to the people.
Hiluva said with great interest, "Come, come, let's go inside and talk. Since you're outsiders, I'll chat with you about everything, from the heater to everything else."
"And there are lots of fun things to do in the mechanical house too!"
"Great!" March 7th was immediately intrigued.
Eve nodded slightly, still pondering the efficiency of the Earth Marrow's function.
Xing reluctantly abandoned a trash can in the distance and followed the footsteps into the mechanical house.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard the "click-clack" sound of gears turning.
The interior was decorated in a steampunk style, with gears turning everywhere.
"No wonder it's called the 'Perpetual Motion' Mechanical House...it really lives up to its name!" March 7th looked around.
"Hahaha, just kidding. After all, people can stop, but machines can't," Shiluwa said with a laugh.
"Alright, does anyone have any questions? Or is there anything you're interested in?"
"Me! Me! Me! Me!" March 7th immediately raised his hand and asked.
“Please speak,” Hiluva said, extending her hand.
"Why is the heater outside? Shouldn't it be indoors?" March 7th asked directly.
“It’s just like cooking over a fire, isn’t it? If the house is a big pot for cooking, then the heater is the fire outside the pot,” Hiluva replied.
"Um... okay, after hearing her description, I can't think of anything to criticize..." March 7 said.
"Miss Shiluva, are all these things powered by the earth marrow?" Eve asked, standing in front of a group of small machines, her eyes filled with curiosity.
One of them is a music box shaped like a little monkey.
It makes a "banana banana banana banana..." sound as soon as it's turned on.
Hiluva walked over. "Yes, these are all functions of the Earth Marrow."
"When energy is lost, all that's needed is to replace a piece of earth marrow."
"I see..." Eve carefully examined the small mechanical items, seemingly selecting a suitable one.
Hmm, the little train conductor's gift is sorted out again!
"By the way, speaking of which, where did you come from?" Hiluva suddenly asked curiously.
“We are the pioneers, from the Star Train,” Star replied.
“The Trailblazers… I’ve never heard of them.” Hiluva shook her head.
"By the way, seeing how interested you guys are in machinery, would you like to come and help me with something?"
"Will you pay?" Xing asked directly.
“Star…” March 7th said helplessly.
The thought process of this Star Core Spirit...
"Um... I can give you a small mechanical item, how about that?" Hiluva asked with a smile.
"Really?" March 7th asked in surprise.
“Of course.” Hiluva nodded.
Xing continued, "Then what do you need us to do?"
"Help me fix this machine? Consider it a craft activity, it'll be fun."
Hiluva brought in the broken geothermal heater that had just broken outside.
"How do we fix this?" March 7th asked curiously.
“It’s very simple. We can use magnetohydrodynamic thresholding. All we need to do is connect all the circuits,” Shiluwa explained.
Just as she was about to demonstrate, a green streak of light suddenly appeared.
A vine suddenly grew out of the table and, to Hiluva's astonishment, instantly connected all the circuits.
Just then, Eve's voice came: "Simple mechanical principles, even this little vine can do it."
"From now on, just water it on time."
“This…” Hilva looked at Eve, her eyes filled with indescribable shock.
Are you saying that humans have combined centuries of wisdom to create mechanical principles, and this plant can do the same?
March 7th sighed, "Sigh, Sister Eve is starting again. We haven't even gotten started yet!"
“Hmm?” Eve glanced at March 7.
"Cough cough, it's nothing, it's nothing..." March 7th immediately replied from the bottom of his heart.
Hiluva was still watching the small vine that had grown from the tabletop.
Unwilling to believe it, she took out other broken mechanical parts from him and repaired them.
The small vines began to sway rapidly, their tips twisting quickly over the object, and in no time, they had repaired the machine.
"My God, this is amazing..."
Hiluva looked up at Eve and asked, "Excuse me, how long can this vine survive?"
Although it's a bit embarrassing to talk about, it seems that having such a powerful helper can save me a lot of effort.
Eve thought for a moment and said, "If we keep watering it, it can probably live until we send you away..."
