"Fuck you, I told you I can't stay in the same position for more than ten minutes without moving! This is totally against human physiological conditions! Isn't it your fault that you came up with such an unreasonable and unfeasible plan?!"
"You're still making excuses for yourself?! If you hadn't——"
"Ahhhh I don't want to play anymore!"
"Hey, can you please stop being like this? It's boring..."
"You pighead! Wrong again!"
"What's your attitude? How dare you yell at me?!"
"What's your attitude? I'm talking to you reasonably!"
"...Damn it! Another mistake!..."
"..."
Angry and dissatisfied quarrels and hysterical complaints and wails occurred one after another, making the not-so-large venue look like exploding gunpowder, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
The people on both sides of the small square table were in different situations. Some were classmates traveling together, some were couples trying to promote their relationship, and some were just passers-by who were brought in temporarily.
But almost without exception, they all accused and complained to each other with red faces, and their tone was either roaring and angry or cold and sarcastic, but it was definitely not a very good attitude.
The people who were slightly further out were obviously the audience. They gathered together with great interest, shouting in great excitement:
"Ah! Ah! What a pity, it was almost ..."
"This guy is such a good dish, he will lose even if this happens."
"Yes, yes, yes. You said your hand slipped. You are just a noob..."
"Ahh! Look at that table! That one! They're the closest to success!"
"..."
It's so lively with saliva flying everywhere.
The scene was so heated and full of gunpowder that it was as fanatical and violent as a gambling scene.
"Oh my god, they are not gathering to gamble, are they? In broad daylight, how can they be so brazen?! By the way, how does this country judge illegal gambling..."
This scene completely frustrates Qi Ji.
People's strange reactions made her uncontrollably think of some things she had seen on Earth in her previous life, such as the twisted, crazy, and sick faces of gamblers in illegal underground casinos when they were betting everything on one throw.
Not so much...
Even if they are students, and even if most of them come from prominent families, they shouldn't be so young and frivolous as to gather together for gambling...
As the capital of a great country, Twilight City's public security and law enforcement are quite good - at least in the upper city area where the rich and powerful are concentrated.
Even if they were the offspring of ordinary nobles, if they were suspected of illegal activities, they would be taken away and interrogated.
Even if they use their privileges to exempt themselves from punishment, they still have to go through the basic procedures at least, which would cause great damage to the reputation of the nobles and the rich.
All in all, the situation is very confusing.
"Let me see what you are playing. You are so into it..."
Because the mini reconnaissance puppet was positioned relatively low, she could not see clearly what was on the small square table due to angle limitations, so she could not determine what they were doing for the time being.
With a thought, the lizard-shaped reconnaissance puppet lying quietly in the shadow of a big tree drove its limbs and climbed up along the trunk of the tree next to it to a higher position.
After a few seconds, the lizard puppet climbed onto one of the branches of the tree and quickly moved to the tip.
Immediately, the small black head turned flexibly and cast its "gaze" diagonally downward.
The next moment, the reconnaissance puppet, which had the height advantage, successfully captured the center of the group of students who seemed a little crazy - that is, the contents on the small square tables with people standing on both sides...
At the same time, Qi Ji also saw the same scene in his mind.
=========================
It's a new week again, please like it!
Chapter 339 A groundbreaking invention?!
"Let me see what you guys are doing... huh?"
The moment he saw the thing on the table that made almost all the participants crazy, Qi Ji was stunned for a moment.
"Emmm... Is this a two-person version of the electric shock maze?"
On the square table, there was a rather complex object. It was quite large and almost covered the entire surface.
Generally speaking, this object consists of two parts, the lower part is a regular square pad, and the upper part is a pile of very twisted, complicated and trivial metal pipes.
The metal tubes are of uniform thickness but very complex shapes, coiled together like a tangled ball of thread. However, they are not in direct contact with each other, and there is a gap of about one or two centimeters between them.
If you look closely, you can see that the metal tube is a continuous piece, with both ends connected to the two diagonals of the square pad.
At one end, there is an iron ring with a diameter slightly larger than the metal tube. Both ends of the ring are connected with freely movable handles, which are operated by people on both sides of the square table.
What the participants on both sides of the table need to do is to lift a handle respectively and control the iron ring without touching the metal pipe... so that it follows the path of the metal pipe from one end to the other.
In short, it is a bit like the electric shock maze commonly seen in science and technology museums on Earth, except that the number of participants becomes two.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!——"
During the seventh season of observation, another group of participants accidentally let the iron ring touch the outer wall of the metal tube.
Even though it was only a very brief and slight collision, without making any sound, not many people on the field even noticed it except Qi Ji, who had a sharp eye.
But at the moment the two metal surfaces touched each other, a shrill and loud buzzing alarm came from the base.
This group of participants consisted of a man and a woman, obviously a couple. After hearing the alarm, both of them were visibly startled.
Immediately, the man's mouth twitched slightly, he threw the handle in his hand, turned his head suddenly and shouted in one direction:
"Hey! Is this thing broken?! We didn't even touch it, so why are we eliminated?!"
The woman also looked dissatisfied. She threw away the handle, stood with her boyfriend with a sour face, and stared in the same direction with resentful eyes.
"Well, classmate, this machine won't have any problems. Its principle determines its reliability... The alarm rings, which means you are out..."
In that direction, at the edge of the venue, a petite and thin figure was sitting on a chair. Seeing the couple pointing their fingers at her, she hurriedly stood up to explain.
Her tone was weak and she sounded nervous, but her words were full of trust in the instruments on the field, and she seemed quite confident in their reliability.
The dark green medium-length hair was tied into a simple low ponytail and placed at the back, revealing a hint of childishness and an obvious helplessness on her delicate face.
"Donna? It's her... So she organized this event? She also made these equipment?!"
After recognizing the familiar figure, Qi Ji was immediately surprised:
"I see... No wonder she's been fiddling around in her room these past few days. It turns out she's been doing these things."
In fact, a few days ago, she noticed that this little girl always stayed in her bedroom alone and didn't come out for a long time.
As the owner of the tree house and possessing extremely strong perception, she could easily know what Donna was doing as long as she wanted to.
But out of respect for other people's privacy, Qi Ji did not choose to snoop into Donna's private life at will, but deliberately avoided exploring her room.
Therefore, Qi Ji only knew what Donna was busy with recently, but he didn't know what she was doing specifically.
And now, the mystery has been solved.
"Damn! It's obviously your stuff that has problems—"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey! If you're out, get out of the way! It's our turn now, don't waste other people's time!"
"Yeah, we've been waiting in line for a long time."
The couple wanted to argue further, but someone in the audience began to criticize.
"Well……"
Faced with the condemnation in public, the two could no longer save face. They showed shy expressions, blushed and walked away together in shame.
As soon as the previous group of people left, two new people in the audience trotted forward, eager to pick up the handles and start the game.
Obviously, although the location of the game organized by Donna was relatively remote, it was quite popular, and the audience participation rate and enthusiasm for the game were also very high.
It can be seen that the game she designed is not only novel in form, but also highly challenging, dramatic and entertaining, enough to attract the attention of most students.
"Wait, if these devices were made by Donna... Strange, isn't she an ordinary person? She doesn't have any spiritual power at all... How can she detect violations?"
At the same time, Qi Ji, who was observing through the mini puppet, also had some doubts in his heart:
"No... According to the puppet's investigation, there doesn't seem to be any spiritual fluctuation coming from these instruments... Could it be that they are not spiritual items?"
Soon, she thought of a possible explanation:
"These things...are purely based on physical mechanisms? There are no spiritual effects involved?"
This is interesting...
To be honest, if we analyze this gaming equipment from the perspective of pure physics principles, it actually does not require much technical content, and it is not difficult to implement.
Without talking about practical hands-on ability, in our motherland, a middle school student with basic electrical knowledge can design a mechanism with the same effect.
After all, to put it bluntly, this is just a matter of a few sets of mechanical relays, switches, and doorbells. Not to mention digital signals and logic gates, even analog circuits are not involved.
But the problem is that in this world... no organization, force, individual, or country has discovered electricity, nor has any machine that uses electricity as energy been manufactured.
If these gaming devices really are based on simple circuit principles, that means...
Donna invented electricity?!
And these sets of extremely simple game equipment are the world's first examples of electrical application? !
"Interesting, I have to go and see it myself, the limitations of the puppet are quite large."
Qi Ji was immediately intrigued by Donna's homemade gadgets.
As a modern person from the civilized world of Earth, she is naturally familiar with and fond of electrical products.
In this mysterious, unknown, and strange world, in this new field full of mysticism, magic, and spiritual power, when you suddenly discover the specialties of your hometown, you will inevitably have the urge to learn more about it.
What’s more, the maker of this “specialty” is someone he knows.
Without any hesitation, Qi Ji immediately controlled the lizard puppet on the tree branch to jump to the ground, quickly crawled into the shadow behind the tree trunk, and then activated the "Stand-In Flash".
In the blink of an eye, the finger-sized black lizard immediately expanded and twisted, then deformed and solidified, turning into Qi Ji wearing a cloak and a hood.
Then she raised her right hand, pinched her index finger and thumb together, suddenly separated them, and snapped her fingers with a "snap" sound.
The black cloak on her body disappeared instantly, and she seamlessly changed into a set of summer uniforms for senior girls at the Imperial National University:
She wore a dark red knee-length skirt, a white short-sleeved shirt, a dark red triangle scarf tied with a small bow at the collar, white socks and black leather shoes.
"OK! Although the color and shape of this outfit are very simple, it looks pretty good when put together. The basic style is quite versatile... ahem..."
After leaning against the tree trunk to sort out her thoughts, she coughed a few times, turned around and left the shade, walking towards Donna's position with steady and leisurely steps:
"It's my first time wearing such a short skirt. It feels so cool underneath..."
Chapter 340 Suspicion
"boom!"
With the dull thud of a heavy object hitting the ground, the tall and burly figure bent his knees slightly to relieve the impact and landed steadily just below the shadow cast by the airship, standing in an open space.
This man had a resolute face and an imposing aura. He was wearing a red and white officer's uniform and a long crimson cloak on his back, the color of which was like dried blood. He exuded the pressure of being tempered by many years on the battlefield.
Although his temples were shaved short and neatly and were already slightly gray, there were inevitably a few wrinkles on his face.
But the fierce spirit that has almost condensed into substance cannot be concealed by the years. The deep eyes contain murderous intent that makes people dare not look directly at him.
The admiral of the Imperial Royal Fleet, a strong man in the "Giant" field who has reached the level of "Light Smelter", and the "Shield of the Empire" Nuss Guardian!
"Your Excellency, it is a great honor for us to have you visit our school!"
There were already several formally dressed school leaders waiting in this open space. When they saw Nus standing firm, one of them hurriedly stepped forward, with a respectful and flattering smile on his face, and greeted him in an extremely humble manner:
"Next, we will take you to visit our school and let you appreciate the demeanor and spirit of our students... Hmm..."
The school leader originally wanted to walk directly to Nus, but after taking a few steps, when he was still about ten steps away from the other party, the muscles on his face hesitated slightly, and his steps suddenly stopped, and he did not move forward anymore.
Although he is the admiral of the Royal Fleet, almost every citizen of the Empire has seen the image of Nus Guardian in various newspapers, journals, and magazines.
But for most people, being together at such a close distance is an experience they have never had before.
Naturally, this also included the school leader who served as the "tour guide". This was the first time he had seen this powerful figure in person.
