Chapter 201 - Catching a Cold (2/2)
However, since he appeared in this generation, and he didn’t see anyone else apart from himself that realized the importance of generalization; then he was more than willing to personally implement everything…
Gawain’s mind was filled with these thoughts. When he realized that this world actually had countless advanced technologies waiting for him to liberate, his fighting spirit was blazing again. Right at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed by at the plaza below and was rapidly approaching him.
He casually closed the window as though it was routine.
“Gawain, I need to tell you something about the Mechanical Manufacturing Facil—” Bang!
When the half-elf young lady bounced off after the bang, Gawain realized that he seemingly heard the words “Mechanical Manufacturing Facility”. Was this disgrace of all living things actually here to report something proper?
Gawain then quickly opened the window again. The moment the window was opened, he saw a black shadow climbing at rapid speed before crashing into his body. “You are awful! How can you intentionally close the window when you already saw me coming!”
Gawain grabbed threatening Amber with a single hand and said, “Who asked you to not use the front door all the time?! Let me warn you, I am going to put mouse traps on the window next time. In any case, you mentioned about the Mechanical Manufacturing Facility. What happened?”
After Amber made a few more threatening gestures, she realized that she couldn’t get free and quickly talked about the proper matters. “It seems like Nicholas Egg is having a situation. He fell onto the ground earlier, and it is now a mess over there!”
Something happened to the mother machine?!
It wasn’t exaggerating to say that Gawain’s head was perspiring with cold sweat. He didn’t hesitate as he grabbed Amber’s waist and clamped her in his arm before jumping off the window. “Hold on tight!!”
“Aren’t you also jumping out of the window?!”
“Shut up!”
Gawain rushed to the Mechanical Manufacturing Facility’s new building in a straight line. When he passed through the residents along the way, they didn’t even see anything clearly and merely felt a gust of strong wind blowing through the streets. In just a few minutes, he had already arrived at Nicholas Egg’s current location.
The new Mechanical Manufacturing Facility’s workshop was brightly lit. The spacious workshop was already gathered with almost all the craftsmen and apprentices that worked in the facility. Nicholas Egg was quietly “lying” in the middle of the crowd. The giant silver emoji was facing the sky, and it was simply comical…
Gawain’s mouth twitched a little as he felt that this giant ball of a joke was simply too dazzling and was even able to produce such a comical feeling in such a situation. However, Gawain quickly composed himself and asked, “What happened? Egg Egg… are you able to hear me?”
“How many times do I have to say it? At least call me Boss Egg!” Nicholas Egg’s body emitted a buzzing sound while his spherical body rocked a little but didn’t seem like it was going to float at all. “Why are you humans always making a fuss about nothing… I am not dead yet…”
After hearing the metal-ball alien responding, Gawain was relieved. He then looked at the large metal ball and asked suspiciously, “Then you are…”
“It seems like I caught a cold.” Nicholas Egg buzzed and said, “A sudden cold.”
“Really?”
“Yes, a cold. Isn’t it normal that I cannot float after catching a cold?”
“…This isn’t normal for a human!” Gawain widened his eyes as he thought about the differences between species. He then asked with concern, “Why would your species catch a cold? Is it due to your immunity? Or are you infected?”
“Probably contact with a stimulant,” Nicholas Egg spoke with a muffled voice. “When I am stimulated by a specific energy field or material, I will catch a cold easily… I was processing various new materials today, and there was probably a stimulant among them.”
Gawain immediately shifted his attention to the surrounding craftsmen and apprentices. “What did he make contact with today?”
A rune craftsman shrank and said, “Your Excellency, the most common item that the Boss processed today should be these…”
As the rune craftsman spoke, he asked the apprentices to push over a cart that was loaded with “raw stones”.
“These are the newly discovered ores that the exploration team found in the Dark Range. Madam Heidi said that she could sense high magical activity from these ores.”
