Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1579: Chapter 1574: Workshop (11)

Supreme Edition, seeing stars?

At that moment, Fu Qian didn’t speak, just silently commenting on the sudden vision.

The reason for saying this is because it was clearly a hallucination, not a real swarm of hundreds or thousands of fireflies suddenly emerging in the vehicle.

And although Fu Qian could disperse them with just a thought, he wasn’t in a hurry to do so.

Just like when Miss Yingzhu took action earlier, he didn’t stop her, full of anticipation.

Yes, this hallucination was indeed actively created by this examiner.

What she relied on was precisely the thing inside her box—an oddly shaped ring with a large gold bead at the top.

Of course, the ring’s shank was also made of gold.

Although she put on the jewelry quickly, Fu Qian still managed to get a clear view of what was inside the box at a glance.

He was even very certain that the surface of the gold bead on the ring wasn’t smooth, being covered with intersecting marks, making it look like a mini globe.

Of course, it just resembled one; in reality, it was a miniature Golden Sacred Garment.

The instant he saw it, Fu Qian knew it was something of the same nature as the left-hand glove he wore, which was obtained during an exploration of the Underground Ruins.

As mentioned earlier, he did indeed seek out the organization of the Sage and the others.

Just not sure if those former allies had returned safely.

...

"Rest assured they won’t actually burn out your eyes, just slightly impede your vision before they dissolve."

As Fu Qian reminisced about the past, Miss Yingzhu’s voice came again from the side.

"As long as you don’t resist too much, the process won’t be very painful. Of course, it should still be enough for you to savor."

Regarding Fu Qian’s behavior all the way, she didn’t even try to hide her lack of favor in her tone.

Unlike the two places before, the Workshop’s level of secrecy was clearly higher.

It’s quite reasonable, both in carrying out this method and the things Miss Yingzhu took out of the box.

Even in the code name she gave herself.

Centered on equipment, just like that team at the time.

However, compared to these things that seemed logical, Fu Qian was more interested in that box.

It seemed like an ordinary examiner had left a trump card, which, to be honest, wasn’t too surprising.

But that this trump card could be concealed to such an extent was truly impressive.

The box’s material was clearly very special, having considerable efficacy in blocking peeking.

Fu Qian believed that even if the Night Watchman had directly encountered it, it would be hard to notice anything unusual.

Marvelous, but when thinking that it might be the work of the Sage Old Master, and that he inherited the legacy of the Blind Eye Association, everything seemed more logical.

"Why so silent? Has the call of destiny been temporarily interrupted?"

At this point, Fu Qian’s reaction seemed to bestow a hint of pleasure to Miss Yingzhu and the others.

Heh heh... ha ha ha...

But the response to them was a series of laughs that started low and grew wild.

Though increasingly wanton, the joy within was quite infectious.

"Finally, something a bit interesting."

Without moving, there was no pain in Fu Qian’s voice.

"From the beginning, the only thing you should have done is shown this sooner."

...This guy really is beyond saving!

Considering that the person’s vision was currently lost, after hearing his words, Miss Yingzhu and the others did not bother with facial expressions management.

But perhaps it was this unwarranted obsession that gave him the confidence and decisiveness, leading to his earlier behaviors...

This slightly complicated emotion lingered on the faces of the two for a long while, rendering the atmosphere silent after Fu Qian’s comment.

However, fortunately, that extremely self-absorbed young man was immersed in the excitement brought by the change, less concerned with other things.

...

"You need to wait here for a moment."

It was Oz who finally broke the eerie atmosphere.

After saying this, having already parked the car, he exchanged a glance with Miss Yingzhu.

With the latter nodding slightly, Oz was the first to open the door and get out, leaving her there to keep watch.

"Is this the Workshop?"

To this, Fu Qian did not seem to have any opinion, just casually inspecting his surroundings.

This place they had traveled to was clearly located underground and notably quiet.

The area wasn’t large but it still felt quite empty, because looking around, there really wasn’t much.

"...Down below, you’ll see it."

After hesitating a moment, Miss Yingzhu finally slowly explained his question.

Quite honest.

Of course, he knew there was more space deeper down, but still appreciated Miss Yingzhu’s honest disclosure.

"So Oz has gone to find someone who can decide whether I can go down?"

"Yes, and there you will receive your ’Weapon’, or what you refer to as the destined calling."

Yingzhu’s tone was calm, sounding quite optimistic about Fu Qian’s prospects.

Weapon...

Hearing this, Fu Qian lowered his gaze to her hand, observing the only piece of gold jewelry she still wore.

Just as Ice and the others before.

Each one of them had only a single piece, not wearing others even if they had them, to avoid interference—though now it seemed different.

When Oz returned, he brought someone with him.

A young woman, her whole body shrouded in a heavy cloak, her fine figure still faintly visible.

And, of course, the corner of a Golden Breastplate inadvertently revealed.

Indeed, as Fu Qian examined that half-familiar face, he was quite sure it was none other than former ally Ice.

Truly extraordinary luck; she had actually survived such perilous grounds.

Not only that, she seemed to have gained from the misfortune, making some breakthrough.

Besides her Golden Armor, the shadow of the hood covered the upper half of her face, with a gold facepiece covering one eye.

Fu Qian was naturally familiar with this piece of equipment, which Brother Shi Gaozhi had worn, capable of firing powerful Deep Red Rays.

This limitation whereby each person was restricted to one piece had just been broken by Lady Ice in an instant—even more than once.

Although completely covered, the right arm under Ice’s cloak clearly possessed a different contour.

In Fu Qian’s perception, it was distinctly clear that she was wearing an Armguard—Brother Charlotte’s.

These two gentlemen, if memory serves, both seemed enamored with Ice at the time, and now their specially-allocated equipment all appeared on her, nearly forming a complete set.

The entwined fates were quite astounding.

"Welcome."

Lost in thought, Ice had approached and looked over with a smile.
