Chapter 103: The Prison Cart
Around 6 o'clock in the morning, the sound of cats meowing and scratching at the door woke everyone up.
Normally, this time was when Chen Mu and He Ying did their morning exercises, but just as they were about to start, the commotion outside interrupted them.
More than a dozen people stumbled out of the house.
Their gazes all fell on Du Jiajia.
Du Jiajia had dark circles under her eyes, clearly not having slept well last night.
"Hehe, sorry, I was too anxious. As soon as it got light, I couldn't wait to see Little Huang..." Du Jiajia explained.
After Dong Junwei finally relented, Du Jiajia could officially meet her beloved cat Little Huang today. The urgency in her heart was evident, which led to her inadvertently attracting the cat over.
Everyone could only smile helplessly.
But they also knew that Du Jiajia couldn't precisely control such things, so blaming her was pointless.
There was no rush in getting up early anyway.
However, this meant that Chen Mu needed to start his preparations in advance.
After a simple breakfast, everyone gathered in the open space near the door.
"Let's take it step by step. First, let's create an enclosed box and see how the cat reacts," Chen Mu said.
He had carefully considered this matter last night, as it concerned Du Jiajia's safety, and they needed to be cautious.
He first had Lu Shanshan reduce the weight of a piece of plastic, then made a plastic box that could just fit Du Jiajia, and finally installed wheels at the bottom.
In short, it became a transparent prison cart.
However, Du Jiajia's "prisoner" head was not exposed; there were only small ventilation holes on the box.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
After reducing the weight of the plastic, it was easy to control, and the whole cart was completed in one go, with only the wheels at the bottom made separately, but it took only a few minutes in total.
Compared to the first handcart that took half a day to make and was extremely ugly, this prison cart was like the difference between a Maserati and a hand-operated tractor.
Du Jiajia originally thought that she could rush out and give her cat a warm embrace, and everything would be over.
Who would have thought it would be so troublesome?
But fearing that the hard-won opportunity would be taken away, she could only let everyone fuss over it.
With a face full of grievance, she squeezed into the plastic box.
A chain was connected to the back of the prison cart, held by Wei Dalei's hand, ready to pull it back immediately if something went wrong.
Of course, to reduce vibrations, many cotton threads were thoughtfully placed inside the prison cart.
"Do you feel anything?" He Ying curiously asked from the side.
"It's ticklish," Du Jiajia giggled.
The plastic continued to move upward, but its speed slowed down. In about two minutes, it covered Du Jiajia completely, leaving only her face exposed.
At this point, Du Jiajia looked like a sculpture, fully enveloped by the plastic.
"Ah, I can't move like this!"
Although she found it quite novel, being completely restrained was very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, it's not over yet," Chen Mu said, continuing to work meticulously.
Soon, various joints on Du Jiajia's body loosened to varying degrees, and she slowly regained the ability to move.
Eventually, Du Jiajia appeared like a female warrior, wearing a set of transparent plastic armor.
This armor was not completely enclosed, and her face was protected by a mesh-like shield, somewhat resembling a hockey player's helmet.
Her hands and feet were also exposed.
Du Jiajia looked at herself from side to side, then her hands naturally hung down. She walked a few steps back and forth with a serious expression, imagining herself as a majestic female general.
Though she wasn't sure about the ultimate effectiveness of this armor, it was already visually appealing.
Chen Mu had previously experimented with such a method on himself. Since every inch of his skin could serve as a launching point for his abilities, wearing armor on himself significantly improved his efficiency. However, the metal armor he used before was nearly 20 times more challenging than the plastic armor that Lu Shanshan had reduced in weight.
The Iron Man-like effect had always intrigued Chen Mu, and this time he decided to try it out on Du Jiajia.
So far, it seemed to be working quite well.
"I request to go into battle immediately!" Du Jiajia was immersed in her own grandeur, unable to contain her excitement. She clasped her hands into fists, speaking with a decisive and resolute tone.
"Approved!" Chen Mu casually crafted a plastic dagger and handed it to Du Jiajia, pointing at the cat outside. "Go and vanquish this cat, make no mistakes!"
Du Jiajia looked at the plastic dagger in her hand, which was only slightly larger than a finger. "Uh, this..."
