Chapter 980: Mechanical Technology, Tower Defense War, Ambition

The divinity between his eyebrows grew slightly stronger. Seeing that the distribution of dishes was on track, Jiang Yi left the stone statue and clay doll to continue watching the stall and went shopping with Hu Tao.

The fun of the game lies not in the game itself, but in the people who play the game together.

Hang lanterns and decorations, and play numerous strings and pipes.

Listening to the music echoing in Liyue Harbor, looking at the golden and red lights, and wandering among the crowds.

Experience the "wonderful shadows in the lamp" of the hidden shadow lamp, and write beautiful poems on the fireworks.

Come to a game called "Mechanical Chess Tale".

Jiang Yi and Hu Tao teamed up to play this "chess game" together.

"I remember that last year, these chess pieces were not so exquisite." Jiang Yi looked at the small mechanical model in his hand. Each chess piece was full of elemental light, and there were also moving monster models, various maps and notes to upgrade the attack power of the mechanical model.

It’s actually a bit troublesome to play and requires complicated calculations.

To calculate the attack power of the level model and the health of the monster.

It's a tower defense game, but it's too artificial.

He looked at the woman in charge of the game and asked, "Do you want to buy a secret realm, build a real elemental mechanism, create runes to upgrade the mechanism, use the portal to attract real monsters, and engage in a tower defense war?"

"That sounds like a good idea." Walnut immediately agreed, "It's too boring to play like this. Why not create a real 'Mechanical Chess Story'?"

"Ah...?" The woman was stunned. What a grand idea! Secret realms, elemental mechanisms, real runes, portals, monsters... Even if you sell me, I can't do it.

However, when I think about it, I'm actually looking forward to it. It would be great if there really was such a "tower defense war" that completely simulated reality.

"I want the design of these chess pieces and the patent of this tower defense game." Jiang Yi said, "Would you like to bid? Or come and build a real 'tower defense game' with me."

He was inspired by the chess piece he just saw.

There can be a new piece of puzzle in your own heavenly palace "Bai Yujing".

These chess pieces, which are magical mechanisms involving the elements of wind, thunder, ice, fire, and water, as well as ghost mechanisms of magic and physics, recycling mechanisms, booby traps, and mystical mechanisms of intelligence, are built into towering towers and giant machines.

It absorbs the elements and energy of heaven and earth, and transforms into a fortress that kills all intruders.

Build foundations, build chess pieces, upgrade runes, distinguish between friend and foe, and recycle cooldowns.

Magical talisman, magical jade talisman, bridge of talismans, wind field and wind ring.

Completely simulate the appearance of this "chess game", use "chess skills" to layout the mechanism, and deal with monsters and enemies that appear from the portal.

"Jiang Yi, I have something to talk to you about." Suddenly, a voice came.

Jiang Yi, who was constantly perfecting his design of the Heavenly Palace, came back to his senses.

"Keqing?" He was stunned for a moment. Hu Tao hid behind him and looked at Yuhengxing. "It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about."

"You speak first!"

"You speak first!"

The two said in unison.

A sound of baring teeth was heard, Hu Tao grabbed Jiang Yi's shoulders tightly, and then, as if nothing had happened, she whistled.

"Forget it, I'll talk first." Jiang Yi patted Hu Tao's hand, and the two of them stood up and moved to another place.

"I have found a new research project for 'Fusheng Technology Rune Co., Ltd.'" Jiang Yi discussed with Keqing his idea of ​​turning the chess game into a real tower defense mechanism.

"I think these mechanisms are not difficult to manufacture. They can be charged with earth vein energy on the ground and used as the defense system of the new city, as a supplement to the new Guizhong machine, the mechanical crossbow."

Of course, if Jiang Yi uses it himself, this mechanism will have to be moved to the sky.

“Then send it out as a research topic.” Keqing did not object. If Liyue had such a mechanical tower in the past, many people could have survived the disaster.

"If you have any difficult questions, you can ask me." Jiang Yi was actually a little anxious. If those researchers were too slow in their research, he would do the research himself or let his very idle master, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, who was obsessed with mechanical engineering, to research the first version, and then let the Liyue researchers study how to mass-produce and assemble it.

They can dismantle and imitate the final machine, so they should be able to do the same with these organs.

"Okay, I've finished what I want to say." Jiang Yi looked at Keqing, "Now, you speak."

"Yes!" Keqing raised her hand. "I came to you because I want to ask you to introduce me to some immortals. The festival is coming, and I want to send some gifts to the immortals on behalf of the Seven Stars of Liyue."

"You're going to Jueyunjian?" Jiang Yi said, "Then come with me. Ganyu and Shenhe will also come with you."

"Yes! You are obviously very familiar with Ganyu, why don't you look for Ganyu?" Hu Tao popped up and spoke.

"Because Ganyu seems a little afraid to go back, I really can't ask her for help." Keqing said generously, "Besides, it is also in line with etiquette to ask Jiang Yi for an introduction."

"Okay, then let's go together tomorrow!" Jiang Yi was going to visit various places to pay New Year's greetings, so he set a date directly.

"Can I... go too?" Hu Tao has never been to the immortal cave.

"Sure!" Jiang Yi smiled, "But what identity are you going to use?"

Hu Tao looked at Jiang Yi's sly smile and knew that he didn't need a simple answer from his friend, so of course he said, "Hehe! Of course, as a pendant for the immortals in the Wangsheng Hall!"

She pointed at the various pendants on Jiang Yi's waist.

At this moment, she was hugging Jiang Yi's shoulders and almost letting Jiang Yi carry her on his back.

Pendants: "..."

“We are not actually pendants.”

Keep your voice low.

"Cough cough!"

Keqing's face turned slightly red.

What the hell! I almost forgot there are so many girls here.

She looked at the two people in front of her, Jiang Yi and Hu Tao, who were showing off to her.

I didn't want to comment on others behind their backs, but Mr. Jiang Yi, ah! The playboy in the General Affairs Department's records is well-deserved.

I don’t know why, but I feel very complicated.

It's like seeing golden shrimp balls sprinkled with other seasonings.

However, her thoughts were as powerful as thunder and she suppressed her thoughts here.

"See you tomorrow then." She left politely.

"Are you looking at Yuheng Star..." Walnut-plum eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hands on both sides of Jiang Yi's neck and drew two circles.

“???” Jiang Yi and Hu Tao looked at each other with sparkling eyes, not angry but with great interest.

"So you are this kind of walnut." He said righteously.

"So this is who you are, Jiang Yi." Hu Tao retorted.

"I thought you would use a more walnut-like tone of voice." Jiang Yi stared.

"Isn't a walnut like this still a walnut?" Walnut spread his hands.

"Yeah! It tastes right!" Jiang Yi said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that Yu Hengxing will hit you on the head with a sword after finding out?"

"Huh? Shouldn't you be standing in front?" Walnut said as a matter of course.

"I want to kiss Walnut." Jiang Yi suddenly changed the subject.

"??? You lecherous Jiang Yi, you are really drooling over the 'beautiful lady' Hu Tao." Hu Tao's eyes widened.

His eyes rolled slightly, "If you catch me, I'll let you kiss me."

The next second, she turned into a golden-red butterfly and disappeared in an instant.

When he looked again, he had appeared on a tall cargo rack in the distance, making faces at Jiang Yi.

"Can't find me, can't find me!"

"Hide and seek! Hide and seek!"

Walnut said playfully, "Today, I am the big Walnut ghost!"

"Let's have some fun!" Jiang Yi took a step forward, and the space around him changed.

When Hu Tao saw Jiang Yi disappear, she also disappeared instantly.

The entire Liyue Harbor turned into a place of pursuit.

The two of them looked like ghosts, one in white and one in black, in the eyes of ordinary people.

"I feel dizzy." The person who saw it couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

The drunkard was frightened awake.

"I caught him." Jiang Yi stood on the roof and grabbed Hu Tao who had just appeared.

"The gun opens the road to the underworld, and the butterfly leads the bridge to the next life." Hu Tao was willing to admit defeat and stopped running away. Instead, he recited the gun technique of rebirth.

"When the red ball opens, it flies away obliquely, which makes me feel most uneasy when the weather turns sunny and then rainy." Jiang Yi replied. This is Hu Tao's past, present and future, and it is also the entire funeral of a person in the Hall of Rebirth.

"Stay to pick the blood, and sleep with you in the flower room." He looked at Walnut.

The conversation between the two was filled with the atmosphere of the underworld.

It was a long sentence that was obviously not suitable to be chanted at this time, but it was surprisingly suitable given the identities of the two people.

Jiang Yi held Hu Tao's face.

Kurumi blinked her eyes, but did not close them like an ordinary girl.

"Since it's a kiss, then let's kiss openly."

Her lips were slightly red, and Jiang Yi lightly touched the blood color.

It feels like soft mist to the touch and has a faint fragrance when you smell it.

Where does the emotion come from? It just arises suddenly from playing.

If someone can endure the joy of walnuts and accept all the "surprises", then this hall master will naturally be willing to reward this person.

Keep having fun, keep having fun, that's enough.

Walnut showed a cute "ferocious" smile. Do you know what the most "surprising" thing is?

"Hmm?" She took a bite and looked at Jiang Yi's completely indifferent expression. Okay, she made a mistake. This guy's body structure is no longer human.

"Hiss——" Jiang Yi stared at Hu Tao fiercely, his eyes conveying, why are you biting me?

Hu Tao looked full of innocence, and the "ferocious" expression had long disappeared.

I just wanted to try the legendary kissing accident.

Jiang Yi supported Hu Tao, and the two of them looked at each other holding their breath.

"..."

Their expressions softened.

Then, separate peacefully.

"Ha! That's it, that's it, not surprising at all! The description in the book has misled this hall master for many years." Walnut wiped his mouth, "Should I write a poem?"

Jiang Yi looked up at the moon.

"Two Birds at the Harbor..."

Walnut took over.

"Chasing east and west..."

Jiang Yi continued.

"A bird eats a worm."

Walnut has his hands behind his back.

"He bit back."

The two praised each other.

"Good poetry, good poetry."

The pendants present: “???”

Did they stick out their tongue?
