After the three of them finished their lunch, Tinado took Ye Li to the exchange meeting site which was under renovation.

Looking at the audience seats surrounding him, Ye Li did not expect that this exchange meeting would be so grand.

"How is it? Are you feeling stressed?" Tinado smiled, and understood the nervousness of people like Ye Li who were attending the exchange meeting in front of such a grand ceremony:

"You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best."

Ye Li was not too surprised, as he could feel Tinado's concern. Moreover, he, Ye, was a great master of Liyue's mechanical arts. This little matter could be solved with just a little effort. There was no pressure at all.

However, based on his identity as a mortal, his personality also needs to be established.

"It is true that there is a little pressure, but I also have a lot of inspiration, and maybe I can show my skills at this exchange meeting."

Ye Li's calm voice, yet with a hint of excitement, reached the ears of Tinado and Tinana, and also showed his importance to this exchange meeting.

"Brother, we have seen all the places we should see. I will take Ye Li to some interesting places in Xumi City first. Bye."

Without saying a word, Tinana grabbed Ye Li's arm and ran away. Looking at Tinado, he couldn't help but sigh. As a brother, didn't he know what his sister was thinking?

"Alas, it's true that girls can't be kept when they grow up."

Tinado turned and walked towards the direction of the Church House. In his heart, he could only cheer for his sister secretly. However, he still did not have much confidence. After all, his cooking skills were still there, and it would probably be difficult for him to find a partner in this life.

Ye Li didn't know that he had fallen into some strange misunderstanding. Now he was being dragged around by Tianana and had seen a lot of interesting things.

Soon, the afternoon passed, and Tinana was dragged back home by Tinado, intending to settle the score later. Ye Li just smiled and watched the two leave.

At night, Ye Li walked alone on the street, watching the people coming and going, and unknowingly walked to a sparsely populated place.

Just when Ye Li was about to take a detour to a crowded place, he heard an angry shout in his ears. This made Ye Li look curiously at a corner where there was a wall.

Ye Li secretly climbed over the wall, hid under a tree and started eating melons.

"You useless idiot, didn't I ask you to install that thing? How can I shine at the exchange meeting in a few days?"

"I'm very sorry, Master Kuaza, we are trying our best to repair the mechanism for Nan's research and development to participate in the exchange meeting, and we guarantee to give you a satisfactory result."

"Hmph, I hope you guys can hurry up, my time is precious."

"Okay sir."

Ye Li's expression became a little bored, but he didn't stay long. He disappeared under the tree in a flash and came to a hotel somewhere.

As for why Kuaza was not caught, Ye Li had already arranged some things with the Tree King.

There is a demon behind Ku A Zha. We can't act rashly now. We need to wait for the right opportunity to lure out the demon behind Ku A Zha.

This is also one of the reasons why the disciplinary officer has not taken any action for so long.

After all, the scholars who have been bewitched account for a small number. Once they start fighting, the noise will be very loud, which can easily scare the demon behind them and make them dare not move.

Ye Li sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking about his next plan.

Time passed slowly, the moon set and the sun rose, and it was the next morning.

At this time, Ye Li had already obtained various mechanism manufacturing materials required by the Educational Institute for each contestant participating in the exchange meeting, and was preparing for the exchange meetings in the next few days.

Ye Li looked at the precious mechanical materials in front of him, stretched out his hand to knock them, and nodded with satisfaction:

"Not bad. We should be able to replicate that thing. After all, it's quite novel to ride on that thing and travel in the desert for two days."

The mechanism that Ye Li wanted to make was exactly the same mechanism as the boat he had ridden in the desert before, but due to material limitations, he could only make a model.

Without saying a word, Ye Li picked up various tools and began to polish the basis of the mechanism. This was a time-consuming and labor-intensive task that required precision.

What's more, he is now attending the exchange meeting as a mortal. It would be very unethical to use power beyond that of a mortal to produce things at a very fast speed. It would also be very boring and there would be no sense of winning or losing.

Time passed quickly, and in a few days, the academic exchange meeting officially began.

At this moment, in the host and judges' seat of the exchange meeting, Lars, the current great sage of the House of Religion, stroked his beard and looked at the trailers pulled by the contestants below the stage, nodding with satisfaction:

"Welcome to all the contestants participating in the exchange meeting. Hello, I am the great sage Lars. Today's exchange meeting is a stage for you to show your talents. As long as your mechanical works satisfy me, you will be eligible for a chance to enter the Jingshan Palace."

Lars explained the rewards and rules of this exchange meeting. Although he had entered old age, his body was very energetic. He held the mechanical loudspeaker and said:

"Now, please invite contestant number one to present his or her work."

When Lars finished speaking, countless ordinary people in the audience began to cheer, looking forward to the first-place contestant's mechanical work.

The scholar numbered one confidently dragged out a cart covered with white cloth, and lifted the cloth with one hand. A mechanical work with rotating gears and various numbers on the square grids on the surface appeared in front of everyone.

"Hello everyone in Xumi, this is the arithmetic mechanism that I spent a year developing. It can help people who can't count to quickly calculate the answer."

No. 1 learned to speak and began to operate the mechanism. The mechanism made a clicking sound, and ten seconds later, the three-digit answer appeared on the grid of the mechanism.

The great sage Lars looked at the mechanism in front of him and shook his head regretfully:

"It's a good idea, but it's too slow to start. It's a pity that you're eliminated."

Contestant No. 1 left the display stand with a look of regret and went to a corner, waiting for other contestants' mechanical works.

Soon, contestant No. 2 also pulled the cart to the display stand and lifted the white cloth covering the mechanism with one hand. A mechanism with a special appearance appeared in front of everyone.

"This is an automatic water pouring machine that I spent four months inventing. It can help some busy people pour water automatically."

As he spoke, contestant No. 2 also started his own operation.

The clicking sound of the mechanism rang out again, and the wooden water cup was picked up by a robotic arm. The water stored in the cylinder on the left was poured into the cup through the pipe.

After going through the entire process, contestant No. 2 proudly waited for the judgment of the great sage.

"The idea is good, but it still lacks some freshness. However, it is enough for the Miaolun School to improve it. Next one."

Contestant No. 2 went down with a gloomy face, and stood in the corner with Contestant No. who was gloating, waiting for the works of other contestants.

As one mechanical work after another was displayed, the great sage Lars drank a sip of water with a dry mouth.

Soon, Ye Li also stood in front of the display stand, and the great sage Lars also began a special introduction:

"Contestant No. 77 comes from faraway Liyue. What kind of mechanical works will he bring to everyone?"

"Ye Li, come on! I'm rooting for you!"

At this time, Tianana in the audience was shouting loudly, cheering for her friend.
