Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi had just finished setting up the magic circle to prevent fire and high temperatures when the cockpit sat down in the center of the H on the tarmac. Fortunately, with the wind-fixing spell in place, Lin Zhenxi only felt a gust of heat and was not blown away by the accompanying airflow.

However, the landing point of this cockpit just happened to suppress the magic circle drawn by Lin Zhenxi. If Lin Zhenxi had not released the fire-resistant barrier in time, her magic circle would have been burned to ashes.

As the cockpit stabilized, a cute-looking small ball with a propeller on its head flew out. The cover covering the front lens slid open to the sides, pointing the camera at Hayashi Maki. A mechanical claw extended from each side. Child Emperor's voice also rang out from the speakers installed inside the small flying robot.

"Ms. Lin, I have brought you the external energy you requested. What are you going to do next?" Come on, please start your performance.

Lin Zhenxi glanced at the small robot flying quietly beside her with its camera constantly focusing on her, as if she saw Child Emperor behind the camera, who was carefully observing her every move with a full HD camera.

Lin Zhenxi's knowledge system is a complete mystery to the natives of this world. They can't even figure out the working principle of the simplest sleeping pillow. Now they can observe Lin Zhenxi's work up close, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, such efforts were doomed to failure, as the natives of this world possessed no mystical qualities, completely unaware of the existence of magical elements. In a world where wizards valued magical aptitude, they were nothing more than "stubborn stones," completely unworthy of education.

Perhaps in their eyes, Lin Zhenxi's strange behavior is no different from shamanism.

Before officially commencing work, Lin Zhenxi first had to figure out what exactly Child Emperor had gifted her. The cockpit before her was several times larger than the nuclear fusion generator Lin Zhenxi had taken from the electromagnetic traction cannon. If one ignored the jet nozzle at the bottom, which had now become the base, it looked like a peeled coconut with its head cut off.

I don't understand it. It's completely different from Lin Zhenxi's knowledge system. Lin Zhenxi didn't even see an energy interface. But it doesn't matter. There's a product manual with a propeller on the head next to it.

"Um... Child Emperor, how do you use this giant coconut?"

Child Emperor seemed to be choked by Lin Zhenxi's protection. After a pause of a few seconds, Child Emperor's voice came from the little robot.

"This is the energy core of my latest invention, the 'Dreadnought Giant.' Once plugged into the power grid, it generates enough energy to sustain the basic operations of any city. Depending on your needs, it can output energy in four ways: electricity, heat, light beams, and electromagnetic waves. No matter what energy interface you provide, it will automatically match the corresponding connector."

"Wow, so powerful! It's even more powerful than that laser reactor from last time, right?" Lin Zhenxi walked over and patted the shell of the big coconut, but found that it didn't even make a sound. She couldn't pat it at all.

"It's a magnetized target laser fusion pulse generator. An accurate description is very necessary for scientific research." Child Emperor rigorously corrected the name that Lin Zhenxi made up casually, like a worker who was measuring the torque of a screw to one decimal place.

But then, he inevitably began boasting like a child, "But you're right. This is my latest and most powerful invention. It breaks through the limitation of energy sources that can only output electrical energy. It greatly expands the methods of energy transmission and reduces unnecessary energy loss during the transmission process."

"The magnetized target laser fusion pulse generator was only the second generation of my invention and has now been eliminated. This energy core is the fourth generation, which we have just developed. Whether it's its working method or safety, it is a revolutionary enhancement compared to the previous generation."

That’s great, come and praise me, hurry up.

However, this time, Lin Zhenxi didn't cooperate with Child Emperor. No matter how advanced this energy core was, its biggest problem was that it was suppressing Lin Zhenxi's magic circle, so Lin Zhenxi had to move it. Just as Child Emperor was bragging about the power of his high-tech creation, Lin Zhenxi had already left the magic rune of the Levitation Spell on the sturdy black shell of the energy core.

Then this huge guy, which probably weighed several tons, floated up by itself right under Child Emperor's nose.

"What!" Child Emperor couldn't hold back. There was a sound of something falling over on the other side of the speaker, followed by a series of chaotic noises, which seemed to have caused a small-scale collapse.

Hope everyone is okay.

After the energy core floated up, Lin Zhenxi easily moved it to a location outside the rooftop helipad. Fortunately, the rooftop of this building was spacious enough, otherwise it would be difficult to place such a large coconut.

Lin Zhenxi placed the energy core in a position relatively close to the energy conversion magic circle. After manipulating the floating spell runes to gently place it, Lin Zhenxi took out a cable and turned to look at Child Emperor's little robot.

“How do I channel that energy?”

"First, tell me how you lifted my energy core. It weighs more than seven tons! You can't lift it." Child Emperor's urgent and curious voice came from the little robot.

"Seven tons? Then the roof has a good load-bearing effect. You can tell it has enough stirrups and no shoddy work." Lin Zhenxi said, looking at the square bricks under his feet.

"Of course. This is the World Financial Center, a landmark building in J City, once the second tallest in the world... No, not when we talk about this. How did you manage to lift the energy core of the Fearless Titan? Was it a superpower? Are you really a superpower user, a tech-savvy one? Did you find the bridge connecting superpowers and technology?"

Child Emperor was still daydreaming for no reason, while Lin Zhenxi was laughing wildly in her heart, trying to keep the corners of her mouth from rising. This was her last respect for Child Emperor.

"Just think of it as my superpower, but is this the time to worry about that? Aren't the problems in J City more important?"

However, just as Lin Zhenxi finished speaking, a violent explosion erupted in the distant city. A conspicuous shockwave shot up from beneath the city, sweeping away all the moisture in its path and even reaching the sky above. It blasted a widening gap in the sky, letting in a flood of sunlight previously obscured by dark clouds.

The shock wave passed a long time before the explosion was heard. Even from a distance of several kilometers, the sound of the explosion still sounded powerful.

Although we couldn't see what exactly happened at the scene, Hayashi Maki could guess from her ponytail that with such a big commotion, it must be Saitama who finally took action.

Sure enough, just a few seconds later, the extremely well-informed Child Emperor shared his latest information with Hayashi Maki through the little robot.

"The Deep Sea King was just killed."

"It's normal. If it hadn't been delayed by something and the environment wasn't so bad, it would have died long ago." Lin Zhenxi shrugged, almost swinging the cable in his hand.

"You don't seem surprised at all?"

"I just have faith in humanity's heroes. If we couldn't even handle that kind of weirdo, humanity would have perished long ago. Okay, forget about that. Hurry up and tell me how to connect the cable to this giant coconut of yours. You're wasting my time, you know."

If the cable in her hand wasn't too thick for Lin Zhenxi to swing, she would have used it to hit the little robot. I've been hinting at you for a long time, don't you have any sense at all?

"Just connect it, anywhere. Also, that's the energy core of the Fearless Titan, not the Big Coconut!" Child Emperor seems to have a special obsession with the naming rights of his products.

"Like this?" Lin Zhenxi poked one end of the cable into the big coconut. Surprisingly, the shell, which felt very thick when Lin Zhenxi patted it, softened immediately and swallowed the end of the cable.

Lin Zhenxi pushed the cable about five centimeters deep, but it couldn't move any further. When she let go, the cable had grown firmly into the coconut shell. Lin Zhenxi tugged at it and found that the connection between the cable and the coconut didn't move at all, as if they were completely integrated.

"What's the principle?"

"The energy core of the Fearless Titan uses a self-shaping energy-conducting shell. When an energy transmission channel approaches, it will automatically melt, allowing the energy channel to access unimpeded. When the energy channel touches the inner layer of the shell, it will become solid again, ensuring the stable installation of the energy channel." Child Emperor was talking beside him, saying something that he couldn't understand but sounded very powerful.

Never mind. The cable was already connected. All that was left was to connect the other end to the energy conversion magic circle, and the preliminary preparations for the strategic-level transformation of mud into stone were complete. All that was left was to wait for the rats carrying Lin Zhenxi's magic mark to burrow underground and transform into magic nodes. Then, Lin Zhenxi could activate the magic circle and reinforce J City's underground to a level harder than rock.

Lin Zhenxi placed the other end of the cable in the energy pool of the energy conversion magic circle, and used a sticky spell to firmly connect the cable to the magic circle.

Child Emperor started asking questions again, and it was obvious that he was really interested in the topic of how to combine superpowers with technology. But the problem was that Lin Zhenxi had no way to explain that she was actually a magician and was not on the same side as those people with superpowers, so it was very difficult to deal with her.

The key is that he never stops asking questions. Lin Zhenxi found that this kid really has too many questions, a bit like asking a hundred thousand whys. Aren't genius children supposed to be very cool? Why does this kid's style seem a bit out of tune with the image of a genius in Lin Zhenxi's traditional cognition?

Time slipped away quietly as Lin Maki answered the questions raised by Child Emperor in a disjointed manner. Just when Lin Maki was dizzy and about to go crazy due to Child Emperor's questions, the mouse-calling flute finally gave feedback. All the magic mice arrived at the designated positions and transformed into the magic nodes that Lin Maki needed.

Lin Zhenxi's magic can be activated.

Let’s get to work!
