Chapter 276 If I had known today, why bother?
"Yeah, that's right. After all, it's Lord [Tianquan]'s "heart and soul", so it's really not appropriate to just throw it in the warehouse like this. Let's see what kind of "surprise" Ningguang has prepared for me. "
After placing his own brocade box on the table and realizing that this thing might be a little different, Zuo Xi also became curious.
Pressing the button on the box, the lid of the brocade box, which originally seemed to be one piece, suddenly dispersed into eight parts that rotated and spread out. The middle structure then moves up, revealing the contents of the box.
When they saw this thing, the two people had different reactions. Zuo Xi remained silent, veins gradually appearing on his forehead. Shen He also said nothing, but there was a hint of "Sure enough" in his eyes.
Lying quietly in the box is a gray gem surrounded by diamond-shaped metal. In terms of quality alone, it's really not worth it, but that's not its point.
After all, it was a tarnished shell of the Eye of God.
"It is indeed a priceless thing. You actually thought of giving such a gift. That [Tianquan] seems to be really attentive... Hmm? Don't you like it?"
In Shen He's opinion, this is indeed much more precious than the hair ornament just now. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure. But when she looked up and saw Zuo Xi's expression that looked like a smile but not a smile...well, she didn't see anything from his expression. However, her intuition told her that the other person's mood at the moment should not be called pleasant.
This puzzled her, although she didn't understand the purpose of this gift. But because of its specialness, it’s not an exaggeration to say that the other party has good intentions, right? Isn’t a gift meant to be given with intention?
"...How could it be possible? I really like him! As for his intentions, he is indeed quite attentive. After all, even I didn't expect that the other party would do something like this."
After saying that, Zuo Xi threw it into the warehouse he carried with him, out of sight and out of mind. He felt annoyed just looking at this thing now.
After all, for Zuo Xi, this gift was just a mockery. The Eye of God is what he has always wanted, and the other party sent him a shell of the Eye of God. The irony is equivalent to giving glasses to a blind person, headphones to a deaf person, or expensive new shoes to a person with a broken leg...or even more so.
No wonder the other party had to remind him to bring a gift...it turned out to be waiting for me here. You Ningguang, you still have to kill people.
……
Two days later, Zuo Xi sent someone to hand over the drawings to Ning Guang as promised. In order to retaliate for Ning Guang's "surprise", he specially selected the most expensive and rarest materials for key parts. Although the other party was not short of money, it could still produce some disgusting effects.
After all, some of the materials inside were extremely expensive to find, and because they were indeed the most effective materials, Ningguang couldn't figure it out even if he asked other experts.
Even though I signed the contract, I can't do anything about it, but if I just want to disgust the other party. There are as many ways as possible to add to the problem without reducing quality. In addition to changing the materials, he also designed it very complicatedly. The difficulty of construction will be greatly increased, and the time required to complete the project will also be greatly extended.
And he is not worried that the other party will ask someone to change his drawings. One is because his drawings cannot be changed if he wants to, and the other is because he would be happier if the other party could really change his drawings.
Nothing else, because the components are interconnected, and random replacement and changes will cause big problems. When the time comes, whatever problems the other party has will have nothing to do with him. After all, it's not him who forces others to change.
If it were normal, the construction would be slower. As the saying goes, slow work will produce fine work, and Ning Guang would not be so impatient. But these are extraordinary times. She can wait, but [Bashi] cannot wait.
So Ningguang could either spend several times the price to work day and night, or exclude Qunyu Pavilion from the battle, or forcefully change the drawings, and then he could watch this aerial fortress falling apart bit by bit in the sky.
Of course, in order to prevent Ning Guang from not understanding this aspect, he thoughtfully wrote all the above situations on the drawings.
Which component will cause the whole thing to fall apart at which position, which position will cause the core to "smoke", which component will cause Qunyu Pavilion to turn into a big firework... He has carefully marked all of these.
In addition to being angry at the other party, these are also equivalent to a "disclaimer". After all, as long as you follow the drawings exactly, everything will be fine.
He can guarantee that the performance of the Qunyu Pavilion under his transformation will be far superior to the previous one. It is fully worthy of the name "Sky Fortress".
"What if she really doesn't believe in evil?"
Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun has been studying the art of mechanism for many years. As his disciple, Shen He has not learned this art, but he has a good vision. So even though she didn't know how sophisticated this thing was, she could still see the danger in it through those "intimate" notes.
If Ning Guang doesn't believe in evil and just wants to change it, what will happen when fireworks are actually set off over Liyue Port?
"That scene must be interesting, right? I'm looking forward to it, but unfortunately that scene probably won't happen.
Ningguang rarely does anything rashly. Judging from the gifts she prepared for you, her current style of conduct is still prudent. Even if she doesn't believe in evil, she will find relevant craftsmen to verify it.
Although my structural designs cannot be changed by others, the dangers of the changes are clear at a glance. And the more top craftsmen she hired, the more they would understand the power of that drawing.
For the sake of the perfect Qunyu Pavilion, and also for not taking risks. She will definitely make it according to the drawings. "
There is indeed a precedent for the "fireworks" of the Qun Yu Pavilion brand to bloom, but because the "fireworks" set off last time were taken off by Ruo Tuo, he could not see the explosion at all, so it was inevitable that he would still feel a little regretful.
He really hoped that Ning Guang would give him a big shot if he insisted on his own way, but the character of the other party meant that this would not happen.
Qunyu Pavilion may not play a big role in the next big event, but it is indispensable as a means of finding out the truth. Therefore, Ningguang will definitely spend several times the price to hire craftsmen to rush the work. But even so, the construction period is still very tight. Unless the manpower is doubled and rotated day and night, construction will be carried out 24 hours a day.
The craftsmen who can be favored by Ning Guang and are enough to participate in the reconstruction of Qunyu Pavilion are not big cabbage. All the craftsmen who meet the requirements in Liyue Port have been invited, and it will be difficult to find suitable people in a short time.
Coincidentally, a group of top craftsmen from Zhidong "happened" to "travel" to Liyue Port during this period. Of course they were unwilling to accept any work entrustment when they came to "travel", and of course they rejected all Ningguang's invitations.
Before leaving, one of them asked for a "trustworthy intermediary" to act as a guarantee. Zuo Xi "happens" to have this reputation and ability.
As a result, Ningguang could only come and ask Zuo Xi for guarantee. The final result was that Ningguang not only fell into passivity again, but also had to hold his nose and pay several times the price. After she was done, she had to thank the craftsmen for resolving her urgent need... Although she had known that she would be retaliated against, she didn't expect that the other party would hold such a grudge.
If he had known what happened today, Ningguang would never have given away the shell of the Eye of God that day.
