Volume 1 Chapter 3 (1/2)
Magic Fan
“Hu——”
Xu Yi let out a long breath and put down the tools in his hand. He wiped the sweat off his face, but his hand felt very strange. Looking at it, his hand was covered in grease. By wiping his face, he turned his face into that of a large tabby cat.
Xu Yi actually didn’t care at all about just, he just began laughing. His heart was filled with joy as he looked at the strange lump of iron on the table in front of him.
This lump of iron was not normal looking. This thing had a rectangular base with a hollow space above it. There were very large iron rods stuck together in this gap and there were three fan blades evenly distributed around the center.
This was clearly the electric fan he had developed.
Xu Yi had spent half a month before developing this electric fan that worked using a Magic Array.
What he spent the most time on was not the most important power supply, but rather the outer design of the electric fan.
After solving the most important problem of having a Magic Array as a power supply, Xu Yi found another important problem. It was hard to imitate the outer coating of electric fans on earth for this electric fan because this world didn’t have a perfect plastic and alloy production technique.
Helplessly, Xu Yi could only replace it with iron.
It was because this world’s forging technique couldn’t compare to that of earth, this electric fan looked a bit strange and could even be called ugly.
“It’s fine, the requirements aren’t too high, it’s fine as long as it can be used.” Xu Yi shrugged his shoulder as he comforted himself.
After carefully looking over it twice, Xu Yi a multicoloured Magic Crystal that was the size of his thumb. He carefully placed it in the mouth on the back of the electric fan before closing it up.
It was only a simple action, but Xu Yi was covered in sweat. After wiping his face, he raised his right hand with a serious expression and reached out his index finger. After a moment of hesitation, he finally pressed down.
“Bada——”
With this clear sound, the switch of the electric fan was pressed. Xu Yi immediately felt a trace of magic running through the electric fan and after a while, the Magic Array on the surface released a light green glow that went into the slits of the fan.
Xu Yi’s eyes were wide as he stared at the fan blades.
After a while, the three blades suddenly moved and began to slowly rotate.
The fan blades were rotating very slowly at first, but not long after, it became faster and faster. Gradually, the three fan blades couldn’t be seen at all as they became one.
With the high speed turning of the fan blades, there was a light breeze that drifted out of the blades. They blew across Xu Yi covered in sweat and instantly a cool feeling passed through his body.
Xu Yi enjoyed it for a while before suddenly clenching his fist.
Success!

When they saw Xu Yi bringing the electric fan in, the people in the laboratory all cast curious glances at him.
What is with this fellow today? Not to mention his funny face, he was bringing in this strange lump of iron. What did he want to do?
“Hey, Xu….Xu Yi, what is this thing?” Rem couldn’t push down his curiosity and pointed at the electric fan Xu Yi was holding as he asked this question.
“This, it’s…..” Xu Yi thought about it and suddenly thought that the name electric fan wasn’t right, “It’s a Magic Fan, I made it in my free time.”
“Magic Fan?” Everyone was even more confused.
Rem looked at the fan and couldn’t feel any magic from it, so he became even more curious.
“What can this thing do?”
Xu Yi laughed before looking around and finally placing the fan on the table in front of Rem.
“Hasn’t it been very hot the past few days? I wanted to make something to help everyone cool down.”
After saying this, Xu Yi pressed down the switch.
The people in the lab were all magicians, so naturally they could immediately feel the flow of magic coming from the Magic Array inside the Magic Fan. But this flow of magic was quite weak, so it could be seen that it was quite a low grade Magic Array.
But then everyone was surprised to find that the three strange blades of this thing began to rotate and it began moving faster and faster.
“Wa! There’s wind!” Xu Yi had just placed the fan down in front of Rem, so naturally he was the first one to feel the wind being blown out of the fan. He could out in shock, “So cool!”
“Wind?” Everyone saw that Rem’s magic robe was beginning to move, like it was being blown by wind. They couldn’t help themselves as they all came over.
When they came in front of the fan, everyone immediately felt the cool breeze.
It was very hot today and everyone had sweated quite a bit, so now that there was a breeze blowing over them, their body felt quite cool.
After enjoying it for a bit, everyone began questioning Xu Yi.
“Hey, Xu Yi, how is this moving? Is it because of the Magic Array inside it?”
“It can’t be, right? The Magic Array is fine, but how could it move this thing? I’ve never heard of a Magic Array with this kind of effect.”
“That must be something Xu Yi discovered himself. Isn’t that right, Xu Yi?”
“Discovered himself? Xu Yi, you’re actually this skilled in Magic Arrays? You can actually research new Magic Arrays?”
