424 New Tool
In the end, they could not chat in bed.
Hearing Kang De tell her about the Dragon Emperor breaking his promise and agreeing to change, Tina’s expression immediately changed.
Then, she was going to find the Grand Duke.
“Let’s talk tomorrow. Let him sleep peacefully,” Kang De stopped him. “There’s no hurry.”
Tina retorted, which was rare. “The agreed time is only half a month. How can I not be anxious?”
“But we can’t be anxious blindly.” Kang De was much calmer. Half a month was equivalent to three to four months on Earth. It was enough for him to collect all the short-range air defense missiles on the market. No matter what, there were effective backup options. This was his confidence.
He picked up the drunk gorilla and placed it on the bed. He took off her shoes and untied her coat. The drunk gorilla was very cooperative, but it made a strange sound that made people stiffen slightly.
“This matter is divided into two parts. The first part is something only Horus and I can do. The second part is something Goethe can help with. We have to confirm these two parts first before distributing and confirming them.”
Kang De raised the gorilla’s head and placed the pillow under it, letting her lie down. The drunk girl babbled and stretched out her arm. He helplessly hugged her and patted her forehead, so the gorilla let go. Her body arched and she lay on her side, letting out a sweet sound of sleep.
“Therefore, don’t disturb the Grand Duke and the others for now. They’ve been very nervous these past few days and have been a little better recently. Let them rest for a night. It’s fine.”
Kang De straightened up and turned around, then was stunned.
Tina leaned against the window not far from the wall and looked at him steadily as if a little unhappy.
He smiled. “What’s wrong?”
Tina turned her head to the side. “…I want to drink.”
“Stop fooling around.”
“It’s not a fuss. I also want to be taken care of by Kang De…” Tina said and turned to look at him again, her eyes a little teary. “Could it be that if I was drunk, Kang De wouldn’t take care of me like this?”
Was this jealousy?
After all, Kang De was not a male chauvinist, so he naturally could not say something like, “Don’t you have many maids?” He was about to answer when he seemed to have thought of something and lowered his head slightly.
—Wait, wait, should I think about it before answering?
This was a little like a question on the Internet.
Then…
Time Acceleration, activate!
Because he lowered his head and closed his eyes, the dial and golden light in his eyes were covered. The axis of time accelerated with Kang De as the center. The river of time surged. With the acceleration of time, Kang De obtained many times the thinking time. He organized his words again and deduced the correct answer!
Thank you, Brother Akatum!
—You indeed know life very well!
In the next moment, at least in Tina’s eyes, Kang De looked up and said with a warm and calm gentle smile, “Regardless of whether you’re drunk or not, I’ll take care of you like this.”
The surprise and smile blooming on Tina’s face were the best feedback.
—Yay!
However, in the next moment, Tina walked elegantly to the bed and sat beside Kang De. She gathered her skirt and gently stretched her legs forward, revealing the calfskin boots.
There was also a milky white luster between the skirt and the short boots.
She said sweetly, “Then help me take it off.”
The heel knocked on the carpet with a muffled sound.
Tina said in a coquettish tone and looked at Kang De slightly nervously.
The other world was still a patriarchal society. After all, before the arrival of the industrial era, women could not provide labor similar to men, nor could they earn wages similar to men. Without an economic foundation, where could there be an upper building? It was not only different work but also different pay. Naturally, they could not fight for power or increase their social status.
Men taking off women’s shoes… sounded a little unacceptable.
Kang De’s eyes focused.
Could a great man like Kang De do such a thing?!
Yes.
He naturally knelt on the ground smoothly like a ferocious tiger. He raised Tina’s left leg and gently removed the cowhide boot, revealing the foot wrapped in milky white stockings.
That small bow was taut with nervousness. The gentle lines were exquisite, soft to the touch, and extremely cute. To be honest, Kang De did not have a foot fetish. He only felt that this was very beautiful.
Then another.
Tina blushed and lowered her head slightly. Her body was also trembling slightly. Her mind was in a mess. She was both happy and nervous. Her legs were together, and her dress was slightly pulled up, revealing a small part of her calf. It was also wrapped in milky pantyhose that vaguely emitted a strange fragrance.
She felt Kang De’s hand gently move up and explore inch by inch. She bit her lip and endured it, but in the end, she could not help but laugh softly. Her legs subconsciously kicked, and then she was hugged by Kang De. Such an action would lead to a result. In martial arts terminology, it would be an empty show.
—Martial artists also knew life very well.
The girl’s shy nature finally suppressed her love. She subconsciously pressed down on her dress and exclaimed, “Don’t!”
Kang De let go when he heard this. He stood up and flicked Tina’s forehead.
“Little guy.”
The princess exclaimed softly and covered her forehead. She watched Kang De walk towards the desk. Her head was still in a mess, and she did not know if she should be happy or disappointed. She knew the reason why Kang De had stopped.
The girl turned around and looked at the sleeping gorilla. How could this fool sleep heartlessly… What way could he temporarily escape her?
Yes.
Tina touched the pendant on her chest. The Eternal Peace Protection emitted tide-like ripples.
She smiled, then stood up and stepped barefoot on the carpet. Her stockings rubbed against the hand-knitted shag carpet, making a rustling sound. It was also as comfortable as stepping on sand.
“Come here.”
Kang De came to the table and reached out to wave. Then, he took out his phone. The stone tablet provided by Horus recorded the various parts and materials it needed. From the material requirements to the attribute requirements, and even the shape structure, they were listed very clearly. He had to determine which things could be obtained from the other world, which things could only be thought of on Earth, and what things needed the cooperation of the two worlds.
Tina walked over curiously, then was pressed into a chair by Kang De and took out paper and a pen.
“I’ll describe it and you’ll record it. I have to show this to your father. Relying on Goethe’s national strength to search and deal with it, I still need the help of the alchemists.”
Tina looked at it a few times. Although she had been learning the Cathayan words, this was completely different. She knew many words, but when they were connected, she could not read them.
However, it did not matter. Kang De said that she would write it. This was very easy.
“Alright.” The princess changed the topic, “However…”
“But what?”
Tina raised her small head. “It’s not cheap to let a princess be your scribe.”
Kang De smiled and said, “What price?”
The princess shouted, “Firstly, I want cola!”
“Alright, iced ones with potato chips.”
“Secondly, I want a cushion!”
“…”
Ten minutes later, at the desk, under the light of the magic lamp with the calming effect, two figures stacked together. One was up, and the other was down. Tina sat on Kang De’s lap. From time to time, she bit her lip and chuckled, twisting her body as if nothing had happened. There was also a glass of cola that bubbled from time to time beside her.
Kang De wrapped his left arm around Tina’s waist and placed his right hand on the table. He held his phone and rested his head on her shoulder. From time to time, he pressed his face against the girl’s soft cheek and rubbed his ears. This was the feeling.
He looked at his phone and translated and described it to Tina. She annotated it with a wonderful pen and drew the diagram. She was smart and skilled. Occasionally, she would laugh and talk, and their eyes would meet. Sometimes, Tina would turn her head and kiss him lightly on the face.
The gorilla was sleeping soundly on the bed.
It had to be said that in Tina’s opinion, the sleeping gorilla was the good gorilla. Firstly, the gorilla was still the best control valve, reminding Kang De not to act rashly. Secondly, when the gorilla fell asleep, Tina was a little fearless. Coupled with the fact that she had lost her composure earlier, she was even more excited.
Late at night, the list of materials given by Horus was finally translated and noted. Tina completely understood that it was more convenient for her, a foreigner, to communicate and explain to her compatriots than Kang De himself.
It was already late at night and the work was done. Tina could no longer endure her fatigue. She slowly lay on the table and fell asleep. Kang De gently pushed her a few times, then sighed sadly. His fingers slid across the princess’s creamy face a few times. He stood up and exerted strength, picked her up, and placed her on the bed.
He also covered himself with the blanket.
The gorilla’s body had already twisted into a difficult posture. There were still traces of saliva beside her mouth and she was sleeping soundly. Tina was much more elegant. Not only did the strict palace education make the princess’s words and actions pleasing to the eye, but even her sleeping posture was extremely charming. The story of the sleeping beauty made sense.
“Good night.”
He yawned, took off his clothes, and lay in the middle. When the gorilla smelled him, she entangled him in her sleep like an octopus. Kang De was not to be outdone and also entangled Tina like an octopus. He rubbed her hard a few times and smelled the fragrance of the bed before slowly falling asleep.
Because it was very, very close, the Everlasting Guardian and the Eternal Peace Protection gently resonated.
Kang De dreamed that he had become Lord of the Rings.
The next day.
Emergency meeting.
The agreement between the dragons and Kang De was only known to a few people. At this moment, there was no need to let others know about the change in the agreement to prevent unnecessary panic.
The Grand Duke’s expression was as calm as water as he looked at the photocopies of the documents Tina had sorted out. There was also a copy in front of the second princess, Stella. Grand Duke Leckos glanced at his second daughter. “Is St. Covero University enough?”
“I’m afraid I have to transfer some from other schools. There are also a few alchemists in the legal department. If we don’t consider confidentiality, there are also a few among the commoners…”
At this, Stella glanced at Kang De.
It was about a master alchemist… Among the materials Horus needed, some had to be used for active catalysis and physical improvement with enchantment techniques. This advantage was something Earth did not have.
Compared to this, he was concerned about the supply of resources. “Can the national treasury of Goethe provide the materials needed here? Should we think of another way?”
Leckos shook his head and said, “You didn’t write down which material you needed clearly. You only said the material and needs. Whether it’s enough has to be evaluated and listed by experienced professionals… Don’t worry, Goethe will satisfy your request. Even if the national treasury is not enough, we’ll think of a way to buy it.”
Kang De nodded and said, “Alright, if it’s not enough, there’s no need to find a black market or something. Just talk to Santos and buy it from the dragons. They must have it.”
The king thought that he had heard wrongly and widened his eyes, “You agreed to fight the dragons, and it’s really a fight. You have to buy their materials to repair weapons?”
“Why won’t they sell it? Firstly, it’s profitable. Secondly, they’re doing me a favor.”
“But this is helping the enemy, right?”
“The dragons don’t want to kill me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to wait for half a month. Today, the Dragon Emperor brought his lackeys to slash me,” Kang De said. “The Dragon Island knows that Horus has been broken and that I want to repair it. I’m afraid this battle has to be measured. I only need to prove that I can recover Horus’s combat strength in half a month. They’ll probably be more at ease if I buy their materials.”
Sword Saint Snowfall, who was sitting at the side, said, “Don’t let them secretly do anything.”
Kang De shook his head and said, “No, the dragons won’t take the risk of being discovered by me to do such a despicable thing. If they do it, it’ll be interesting.”
The Fire Thief specialized in identifying all kinds of fake goods. Whether they were goods or not, he would know after sensing the composition of the elements… The dragons basically would not have any ill intentions here.
At this moment, Stella put down the document in her hand with a serious expression.
“There’s not enough time.”
She said, “There are so many complicated parts that have to be processed with the corresponding enchantment. It has an extremely high requirement for the attainments of an alchemist. Most importantly, there are too many of them, and the repetitive workload is very large… I’m afraid it’s too late in half a month. Even if I mobilize all the alchemists of Red Maple City, it’s probably not enough.”
The long list provided by Horus was photocopied. There was a full stack. The demand for the parts of a Transformer was countless. From the parts to the transmission, the bite joints, and the internal rotor, there were many of them. With the craftsmanship of the other world, it was indeed terrifying.
However, Kang De already had a plan.
“Then let’s gather the masters first and distribute the work. I’ll resolve the problem of duplication of work, but first, they have to start and come up with a production plan.”
Kang De glanced at Stella and then at the Grand Duke. He said, “Please make arrangements immediately, Grand Duke. It’s best if you let me see the masters today. Let’s set a rule. Please.”
It was time to develop new tools.
The project to repair Horus required the alliance of Earth and the other world.
He had already chosen a tool on Earth.
Engineer Kang Jinzhu, a professional with more than 20 years of deep experience, was very suitable.
