90Chapter 90 Leng Yaozhu's suspicion
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in the depths of Leng Yaozhu's eyes, but her face still maintained the graceful demeanor of a deputy tower master, and she said lightly:
"The child was ignorant and a little reckless."
"A dedicated person will be in charge of discussing the compensation plan for this accident with you later. Please rest and recuperate first. The Spirit Pagoda will surely give you a satisfactory explanation."
After comforting the victims, Leng Yaozhu rushed to the Shenglingtai Maintenance Center without stopping.
In the huge space, most of the equipment that was originally operating with precision was now flashing red fault lights, and the air was filled with a burnt smell caused by energy overload.
Senior engineers were busy working around the core control center.
"Your Majesty, the situation... is not optimistic." The chief engineer in charge of maintenance wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed at the large expanses of garbled text and physical damage reports on the screen. "That power was too overbearing. It's not just an energy overload. The core mental connection matrix has been physically burned over a large area, and one-third of the spatial stability anchors have collapsed."
"Even the ecological environment energy we used to simulate the Star Dou Great Forest has been completely wasted, as has the system that provides spiritual power."
"And the core system of the entire Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform is basically... over 80% destroyed. Repairing it is extremely difficult and the cost is inestimable."
Leng Yaozhu looked at the shocking damage diagram and the astronomical preliminary estimated repair costs on the screen. Her face gradually became solemn and her brows were tightly furrowed.
She had thought the damage would be serious, but it was beyond her expectations to this extent.
This was not an accident at all, but a precise internal explosion!
It can basically be said that the intermediate spirit-raising platform was directly scrapped.
How long will it take to repair it?
At this moment, the exquisite soul communicator on her wrist vibrated.
After the call was connected, a male voice with a hint of displeasure came. It was the master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, Qiangu Dongfeng.
"Yaozhu, I heard something happened at the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform? It made quite a commotion. What's going on?"
Leng Yaozhu's pretty face turned cold in an instant:
"Qian Gu Dong Feng, don't call me that. The relationship between you and me is not that close yet."
Qiangu Dongfeng: "..."
This is truly his eternal pain point.
He had clearly seen on the surveillance video that Leng Yaozhu treated that disciple so well and kindly, and he was very envious of Lu Jun.
Sometimes Qiangu Dongfeng wished he could start his life over again and become a child. Even if it was just to be close to Leng Yaozhu, it would be considered as fulfilling his wish.
And Lu Jun did all this for him.
It would be a lie for Qiangu Dongfeng to say that he was not envious. In fact, he even had a vague feeling of jealousy towards Lu Jun in his heart.
I used to be jealous of Yun Ming, and now I am jealous of Lu Jun.
But for the sake of the overall situation, he couldn't show it.
What's more, he is a man with a family.
I can only think about how to find topics to talk to Leng Yaozhu every day.
That's why he called.
Even though the intermediate spirit-raising platform being blown up by someone is considered a big deal, as the tower master, there are many things to deal with every day, and it is impossible for him to do everything personally.
Otherwise, what is the purpose of having so many deputy tower masters?
"All right."
Thinking of this, Qiangu Dongfeng seemed a little helpless.
"Deputy Tower Master, can you tell me exactly what happened? Please give me a detailed report."
Leng Yaozhu reported the situation concisely, emphasizing the terrifying destructiveness of the "unknown force" and the severity of the system damage, and finally added:
"...Preliminary judgment shows that the level of this power far exceeds the design limit of the intermediate spirit-raising platform, and its properties are extremely special, with extremely strong rule-destructive power."
"Strangely, the spirit ring and energy level restrictions at the entrance to the Spirit Ascension Platform haven't been invalidated. Theoretically, it's impossible for a force beyond the seventh ring to enter."
There was a brief silence on the other end of the communicator.
Qiangu Dongfeng was obviously shocked by this incredible situation.
After a few seconds, he said in a deep voice:
"Can you find the source of this power? Or... determine its nature?"
Qiangu Dongfeng was a little anxious.
The Soul Ascension Platform is one of the lifelines of the Soul Transmission Tower. If the intermediate Soul Ascension Platform is shut down for a day, a huge amount of resources and credit will be lost.
And a lot of federal currency.
Leng Yaozhu glanced at the busy engineers around her and the messy scene:
"We're currently investigating with all our might, but the core data is severely damaged, and the remaining energy traces at the scene are extremely chaotic and dissipating rapidly. It's difficult to reach a clear conclusion in such a short period of time."
"Deputy Tower Master, this is no small matter. We must quickly identify the cause and come up with a solution. If the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform isn't open for one day, our losses will be..."
"No need for your instructions. I'm handling it right now." Leng Yaozhu interrupted him directly, "I know the seriousness of this matter better than you do! If there are no other important instructions, I'll hang up. I'm very busy here."
After saying that, without waiting for Qiangu Dongfeng to speak again, she cut off the communication cleanly.
The atmosphere in the maintenance center became even more depressing because of Leng Yaozhu's last cold words.
The chief engineer secretly wiped his sweat and dared not breathe.
Leng Yaozhu ignored the possibility that the communicator might ring again.
After dealing with the most urgent matters, Leng Yaozhu returned to the lounge where Lu Jun was.
The medical staff had completed the initial examination and stabilization. Lu Jun was leaning back in his chair, drinking warm nutrient solution in small sips. His face had regained some of its redness, but his eyes still held a hint of innocent confusion.
Seeing Leng Yaozhu come in, Lu Jun quickly put down the cup and sat up straight:
"teacher."
Leng Yaozhu sat in front of him and asked:
"I heard that you not only provoked the Angel Family in there, but also withstood the full force of that Soul Emperor named Le Tianxiong?"
Lu Jun nodded and whispered:
"Yeah, that guy was so fierce. He used his ultimate move right away. I almost thought I was going to die."
Leng Yaozhu didn't respond to his words, but continued to stare at him:
"A three-ringed Soul Master took the full force of a Soul Emperor's Burning Soul Skill, and all he did was spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, break some bones, and experience some fluctuations in his Soul Power?"
Lu Jun said: "Uh, maybe, maybe I am thick-skinned?"
"Or maybe just luck?"
He laughed dryly twice, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
Leng Yaozhu looked at him trying to get away with it, pursed her red lips slightly, and finally just let out a light hum with an ambiguous meaning.
Originally, she was somewhat suspicious of Lu Jun.
After all, she had found Lu Jun in the Far North, so she knew clearly that he had survived safely in such an extreme environment and awakened his weapon-type martial spirit of Ultimate Ice...
He must be carrying some secrets.
But if you think about it carefully, at this stage, apart from being more mature and much stronger than his peers, he has not done any tricks.
He has always been a quiet and well-behaved child.
Just a kid, how much can he know?
Anyway, it's not the artifact they have been looking for.
You can't say that a divine weapon has taken human form, right?
That's bullshit.
There are so many magical weapons in Douluo Continent, which one has the ability to achieve this level?
Even in the diaries that recorded the legends of the divine world, there was no mention of any super-divine artifact that could transform into a human form.
Leng Yaozhu herself was amused by the idea that came to her mind.
How could she be so lucky that she could pick up a magical artifact just by going to the Far North?
Or is it a divine weapon that can transform into a human form?
impossible.
Absolutely not.
