11: Section 11

This move gave the bearded dwarf blacksmith a shock, and he asked, questioning his very existence, "Magic Casting?"

Seeing Su Ming's confused expression...

The dwarf uncle's face turned completely black!

You fucking know Magic Casting, and you're still fucking learning forging techniques from me?

What's the meaning of this?

I'm asking you, what's the meaning of this?

Are you looking for trouble, you little brat?

Although Su Ming tried his best to explain and repeatedly guaranteed he had no other intentions, and that he was simply ignorant... he barely managed to avoid being kicked out on the spot.

Next, Su Ming referred to the blueprints and used the so-called Magic Casting technique that even the dwarf uncle envied to successfully craft a one-handed sword in just five minutes!

[Weapon: Training Shortsword (White)]

[Category: One-handed Sword]

[Attribute: Sharpness +2]

[Effect: None]

"Hmph! This talent for Mana Permeation of yours is completely wasted!"

This lecture wasn't for nothing.

At least.

Su Ming figured out that the so-called Magic Casting was actually a forging technique dominated by magical power.

Such techniques are efficient, fast, and easier to stimulate the excellent properties of the materials themselves.

In emergencies, one can even set aside the smelting furnace and hammer, using mana as the anvil and thoughts as the forging hammer to forcibly craft finished weapons and equipment!

Unfortunately.

Such a skill isn't something just anyone can start learning!

The threshold lies in the talent for Mana Permeation. Simply put, you must learn how to use your own mana to permeate the material before you can master the so-called Magic Casting technique!

The question is.

Does Su Ming have the talent for Mana Permeation?

He should!

During the forging process, he could perceive the phenomenon of energy flowing along his arms and gradually merging into the red-hot iron ingot with each strike.

As expected of Azeroth.

As expected of a supernatural world!

Su Ming was secretly excited, but of course, he didn't forget to continue striking iron to increase the proficiency of the forging skill he had just acquired.

Evening.

Su Ming returned to the Lion's Pride Inn.

He booked a room.

After casting a Cleaning Spell on himself, he fell asleep immediately.

...

While Su Ming was sleeping soundly.

In the Main Plane.

Sister Zhixin was nearly going crazy with anxiety.

Cross-star-sector dark communications were coming in one after another.

Data from Feireze and surrounding star sectors was being uploaded to the knowledge vault without interruption.

Sensing something was wrong, Angel Yan hurriedly logged into the Dark Plane and connected to Zhixin's private communication channel. The moment the dialogue connected, she asked impatiently:

"Zhixin, what's going on over there..."

Before she could finish.

Zhixin said urgently:

"Sister Yan, that child Su Ming has disappeared!"

Hmm?

Angel Yan was startled and quickly tried to soothe her:

"Wait! Hold on, Zhixin. That child travels to other worlds for a period of time every day. Don't worry yet; perhaps he has some urgent business."

"But Sister Yan, it's been almost twenty hours!"

Ah, this...

Is this kid for real?

Angel Yan also panicked. Based on Su Ming's previous schedule, being missing for twenty hours... that was indeed terrifying!

The greatest fear was.

What if that kid died in another world?

If I had never seen the light, I could have endured the darkness!

But...

Su Ming's existence proved that the existence of parallel worlds is highly likely to be true, and other worlds with worldviews vastly different from the current universe are equally real!

If Su Ming, the only channel through which the Angels could learn about unknown worlds, was cut off... then damn it... I'd go crazy!

Angel Yan almost wanted to curse...

"Zhixin, don't worry yet. That brat Su Ming doesn't look like someone who would die young... However, once he returns, we can't wait any longer!"

"Sister Yan, you don't mean to..."

"Listen, Zhixin!" Angel Yan said with no small amount of self-reproach, "The unknowns on Su Ming are very fascinating, but... we overlooked one thing!"

"He's not even twenty yet; he's still a child... and other worlds are far too dangerous!"

"Zhixin! The progress of the Star God Project is too slow. I will report to Queen Kaisha; the priority of the relevant plans must be raised!"

Chapter 13: The Queen's Choice

Melo Heavenly City, Angel Palace.

High upon the platform.

Winged sculptures, as exquisite as works of art, stretched out freely.

The warm sun from the zenith fell gently, casting a divine halo upon the elegant and noble Queen on the throne.

On the throne.

Queen Kaisha's brow was slightly furrowed.

Her indifferent pupils, tinged with a hint of weariness, were also veiled by a rational pure white.

Four days!

The supreme Queen of the Angel Civilization, the eternal centerpiece of the Theocratic Parliament, Queen Kaisha, whose sacred name spread across the entire Known Universe, had maintained this posture for a full four days!

During this time, in a realm invisible to mortals.

Only infinite data kept her company!

The sacred knowledge vault was operating at full computing power, and the number of stars consumed daily for this purpose exceeded double digits.

However.

Unknown!

Still unknown!

Even the data that was occasionally successfully analyzed was fragmented and lacked a system!

Worse still.

The data that was successfully deciphered was difficult to integrate into the existing knowledge system!

Suddenly.

An intellectual and lazy voice abruptly broke the silence of the palace.

"Did you hear that, Tomboy? If you don't do something, your precious disciple is going to squander the family fortune again!"

"Yan?" Kaisha was startled. "What happened to her now?"

While asking, Kaisha split off some sub-threads, carrying her own will, and logged into the Angel Network.

In just the blink of an eye, Kaisha had understood the entire sequence of events.

This was the caliber of a civilization's primary god, equipped with a Dark Matter Computing Cloud, backed by a celestial supercomputer, and possessing a fourth-generation divine body!

Multitasking?

No!

That was multi-million-tasking!

A technological god could process an overwhelming amount of data in parallel within the same time frame!

Sighing, Kaisha's expression was complex:

"I see. Pushing the Star God Project forward ahead of schedule... Yan is being a bit too radical. However, Hexi, they were right about one thing!"

"The issue of that child's safety must be taken seriously!"

Ah, this...

Just radical?

Tomboy, do you even hear what you're saying!

Hexi grew anxious, the playfulness in her voice vanishing completely:

"Wait, Tomboy, just wait a second!"

"I admit that the kid named Su Ming is very valuable!"

"I can even pinch my nose and believe that the possibilities he represents can guide our future direction!"

"But there's no need for the Star God Project!"

That was the Star God Project!

A super-engineering project that, before this, was absolutely impossible to appear in the future planning of the Angels!

Setting aside human resources and the countless technical problems that would need to be overcome during the project.

Just the massive amount of resources required for the entire engineering plan made Hexi's heart ache so much she could barely breathe!

However.

"It is necessary, Hexi!"

With a light chuckle, Kaisha teased, "What, is this Old Goblin's heart aching?"

Space rippled slightly.

Hexi, dressed in military uniform, paced out with a dark face.

The thumping sound of her intentionally stomping on the floor echoed far away:

"Nonsense, how could my heart not ache! Don't try to fool me. Where are the resources for such a huge plan going to come from? In the end, I'll be the one to foot the bill!"

"Can't you at least not set the standards so high?"

They're all fucking spendthrifts!

No wonder that girl Yan would make such a proposal.

It's a classic case of 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree'!

Unexpectedly.
