Chapter 131: Luocha, You Are Truly So Clever!
As one of the six most important departments on the Xianzhou "Luofu," the Artisanship Commission, which oversees various scientific research including techniques and star skiffs, is at least as large as an entire normal city... and this is only the central core department responsible for research within this pocket realm, not even including the nearby, less substantial assembly lines.
After all, Luocha just mentioned that the current positioning of the "Luofu" within the Xianzhou Alliance leans more towards being a commercial ship; there should be some special products that can sell well across the universe, right?
Not just in the medical field, the technology of the Xianzhou Alliance is also quite popular in many places—after all, things like Jade Abacus and mechanical devices have quite a few differences from mainstream technology in the universe. Even if it's not just for novelty's sake, some methods targeting mainstream technology might not necessarily work on things from the Xianzhou.
You could completely buy some powerful weapons on the Xianzhou, then follow the path of "The Hunt" to take revenge on your enemies. After successfully getting revenge, look at their terrified eyes and hit them with this line—
—Xianzhou technology, kid!
To be honest, there really was once a product on the Xianzhou that used such a marketing gimmick. Later, because this product inexplicably became hugely popular, many people developed specific countermeasures for it, and it eventually faded into obscurity.
But circling back to the topic... after all, the Artisanship Commission occupies such a vast area, so naturally there are many staff members, and the original architectural complex looked incredibly magnificent.
But at this moment, Sushang not only didn't see a single person within the Artisanship Commission, but even the once-glorious architectural complex had become a complete mess... roots nearly a meter thick were everywhere. They not only climbed up the great halls and toppled pavilions but also strangled many originally well-connected bridges, leaving Sushang and her companions completely unsure which path to take to successfully pass through and reach a safe pocket realm.
However, the most eye-catching among all this was undoubtedly the nearly hundred-meter-tall towering giant tree at the very center of the pocket realm. It's just that this tree didn't seem entirely pure; from a distance, you could see something stuck in it... a huge furnace?!
Around those massive branches, there even floated a thin, cloud-like substance that emitted a faint glow. Just looking at it from here, it actually seemed quite beautiful?
"Wow! Speaking of which, could that be the Luofu's 'Ambrosial Arbor'? This is my first time seeing it!"
Sushang didn't overthink anything else; she just briefly combined it with her memories and shouted out without hesitation, even with a hint of excitement.
"...Aren't you a Cloud Knight?" Dan Heng asked with a touch of helplessness.
No matter how you look at it, the Ambrosial Arbor appearing in such a place can't be considered a good thing, right? If all Cloud Knights on the Luofu are of this caliber, it seems General Jing Yuan's tenure might be coming to an end soon.
"Cloud Knights don't specifically go to see the Ambrosial Arbor either. Besides, I just arrived not long ago... On our Yaoqing, the Plagues Author's legacy is about the moon. Tsk, feels more beautiful than Luofu's!"
She really did just arrive not long ago; it hasn't even been a month yet! Who knew she'd coincidentally run into such big trouble!
After explaining with a hint of grievance, Sushang quickly readjusted her mindset and even quite heartlessly started comparing things that any normal person wouldn't specifically pay attention to.
But this coincidentally revealed that "The Abundance" left different miracles on each Xianzhou ship. Is it possible... that things related to this on other Xianzhou ships are also completely different? Like things such as Mara-Struck.
If Mara-Struck representing the Ambrosial Arbor manifests as branches growing on the body, then what form would Mara-Struck representing the moon take? Turning into werewolves?
"...I heard that the Ambrosial Arbor on Luofu had long withered away. How could it suddenly grow and spread?" Luocha, standing at the very back, gently placed his palm against his mouth as if pondering something deeply.
And it's not just Luofu's Ambrosial Arbor; naturally, all so-called Plagues Author's legacies on other Xianzhou ships have been sealed away. Otherwise, how could the Xianzhou Alliance remain stable until this moment?
"Right, why is that...?"
"...It's because of the Stellaron."
Sushang had just started scratching her head over this question again when Dan Heng, who had crossed his arms and was intently gazing at those tall branches, gave the answer in the next second.
"Huh? What's a Stellaron?" Sushang once again voiced her ignorant confusion.
"I have indeed heard of that substance called Stellaron before... It is said to be something that brings calamity. Not only does it block pathways in the universe, but it also brings various disasters wherever it appears. It even attracts the covetous attention of the Antimatter Legion..."
Luocha explained with a grave expression: "That substance called Stellaron has destroyed countless civilizations to date, yet no one knows its true nature... If the revival of the Ambrosial Arbor is indeed a disaster for Luofu, it really could be due to the influence of a Stellaron."
"But regarding such matters, Brother Dan Heng... how do you know about this?"
Usually, when a conversation reaches this point, people present would involuntarily start suspecting the person who raised the question. But unfortunately, standing here today is Sushang. Not only does she have no suspicions, she even asks Dan Heng with great interest—
"Right, gloomy gourd, how do you know? I'm a Cloud Knight and I didn't even know such big trouble was happening on the Xianzhou!"
"..."
"No comment."
After all, for Dan Heng, explaining such things to strangers is just too troublesome.
"Fine, don't tell if you don't want to. Look at your stingy face. So what if it's a Stellaron? Our Xianzhou Alliance is so powerful; surely it won't take long to resolve it. I'd better hurry and get you to a safe place first before finding the main force... Can't let others steal all the credit!"
Sushang didn't even doubt it at all; she simply brushed past this question without ever considering possibilities like whether the mastermind might be right beside her.
"But how exactly do we get through here..."
Seeing her so clueless, Luocha finally couldn't help but sigh and say: "Miss Sushang, after all, the Artisanship Commission is so large. It's impossible that not a single person remains at this moment... Why don't we find a higher place? Even if we can't see people, wouldn't we still be able to see the path clearly?"
"Right... Luocha, you are truly so clever! Much better than this gloomy gourd!"
"..."
