Xyrin Empire

Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Coming from Azeroth

Lady Lin Xue’s image instantly crumbled in my mind, that somewhat cute face shattered into smithereens…

Although I knew Lin Xue was incredibly curious and had a boyish habit of tampering with machines, I never expected she would do something as outlandish as dismantling the control pod during an important experiment…

To cause such Chaos, you’ve really defied the heavens!!!

Seeing the dramatic change in my expression, Sivis naturally knew what was going through my mind, and she immediately explained, “Actually, it’s not entirely Lady Lin Xue’s fault. After the start of the experiment, the Space-Time Sensor began to extract a large amount of Spiritual Energy from the subject to use as a transmission source for the scanning signal. Although this energy extraction doesn’t cause any harm to Lady Lin Xue, according to her description, the process makes her… um, feel a bit hazy… As a result, she subconsciously engages in some of her favorite little antics…”

Lady Lin Xue’s image finally restored somewhat in my heart. Regardless, she had applied herself, and although Sivis said the energy extraction wasn’t harmful, I guessed it wasn’t very pleasant… it was tough on her.

Forget it, at worst I’ll just have the technicians completely cover the control pod’s key components with super-strong alloy…

“Lately, we’ve made significant improvements. Now, the Space-Time Sensor’s demand for scanning energy has decreased by nearly forty percent, allowing Lady Lin Xue to maintain more clarity during the experiment.”

“Then I’ll leave it up to you. I have no clue about these things. Do whatever you think is appropriate,” I said.

“Oh, it’s our honor to alleviate your worries,” Sivis replied with a sincere smile. “Actually, knowing that we have the opportunity to venture to the world of Azeroth has everyone excited! The Xyrin Apostles are all fired up now!”

…Is it because the War factor inside them is burning wildly? Also, Pandora, can’t you act like a normal Loli and throw a tantrum only on such occasions? Even if you try to attack me with those sparkling eyes like Little Baobao, I won’t let you send the troops out for field training!

…Hey, hey, hey! Naughty girl, your subordinates are looking! Get down from me! Stop rubbing against me! Keep it up, and I still won’t agree to let you station troops at the United Nations! And you, Little Baobao, stop causing trouble. Besides, you just ate candy and didn’t wash your hands, did you…

As had happened countless times before, whenever someone mentioned going into battle, Pandora would instantly Transform and then bring me endless trouble…

Two troublesome Lolies, one maliciously intent and one purely disruptive, clung to me left and right like koalas, rubbing back and forth. At that moment, I deeply regretted ever teaching Pandora to behave sweetly, now that she had learned to deploy such powerful Attack moves… What’s worse, Little Baobao, this little one with a still confused mind, actually stammered out the word… Daddy…

A nanny’s life is endlessly dismal!

“Ah Jun, anyone else would be happy to death in your situation~~~” Qianqian, that wretched girl, didn’t bother to help and instead rejoiced in my misfortune.

I rolled my eyes and with effort, separated Little Baobao and Pandora who had started fighting on me, and said, “Don’t forget, you’re the mother of the child…”

Qianqian’s face turned crimson immediately, and then Bubbles, who had been sleepwalking with us, suddenly stepped forward, tugged at my clothes, and pointed at herself, meaning: I’m the mother of the child…

Bubbles returned to her sleepwalking in her game world, and as I faced the “you’re a scoundrel” looks from everyone, I looked up at the sky in silence…

My daily life is truly colorful.

Despite numerous difficulties, the research on the knockoff Space-Time Sensor was proceeding at a satisfactory pace. Those Xyrin Technicians were like superhumans, workaholics who could easily overcome any complex technological challenge. Probably only Anwina, the equally indefatigable super maid, could compete with them…

In the blink of an eye, several more days had passed, and the Space-Time Sensor was finally complete…

Looking at the Chief Xyrin Technician standing before me, though slightly weary, she was brimming with excitement, I couldn’t help but think, scientists really are superhumans in their own right…

Just like the Xyrin Apostle before me, in terms of combat power, Pandora could handle a dozen or so of his kind with just a flick of her finger. Yet when she found out that this guy had completed the assembly of the main body of the Space-Time Sensor after working nonstop for seven days and nights, even Pandora was so shocked that she was at a loss for words…

“The rest is up to this young lady!” Lin Xue said confidently, striding toward the Space-Time Sensor that now looked even more surreal with its final assembly and the addition of its silver-white shell.

Although we usually bicker, Lin Xue is, after all, a decent friend, so I couldn’t help but caution her, “Be careful, and if there’s anything amiss, cut off the energy output immediately. This thing is directly connected to your Spirit World, after all…”

“Alright, alright, you sound just like my mom… And you still dare to question me when I’m on the task?” Lin Xue rolled her eyes at me and then patted me on the shoulder with a laid-back gesture, “Thanks for the concern. Now just stand aside and watch!”

…Who would have thought she’s actually a super-rich heiress…

As everyone watched tensely, Lin Xue’s figure vanished into the control cabin at the base of the sensor. As the cabin door gradually closed, the entire massive sensor began to emit a deep roaring sound.

This terrifying behemoth began to draw vast amounts of energy from Lin Xue, parsing it to detect special wavelengths with the Detection Ability, then amplifying the signal as a whole before launching it into the Ethereal Sea. With a bit of luck, the Azeroth world would appear in our “view.”

Unfortunately, Lin Xue’s Mysterious System Superpower is just as peculiar as Qianqian and her sister’s abilities, too enigmatic for technologies to explain, let alone clone by technical means. Otherwise, we could just take a Spiritual Sample from Lin Xue and mass-produce Special Radars with Super Detection Ability and even Prediction Ability. This would have saved us so much trouble.

“Lin Xue, how do you feel now?” There was no response from the Space-Time Sensor for a long while, and I couldn’t help worrying. Had the machine drained all her spiritual power and knocked her out inside?

After waiting a full three seconds, just as I was about to rush in for a rescue, Lin Xue’s boisterous voice suddenly filled the entire research hall, “Wow! This is awesome! This thing is so thrilling! Hey you, whoever, boost the energy output by ten times! No, twenty times! Damn it, I have to see what that guy is writing… Let me see, the account is…”

“…What on earth are you doing?!”

“Scanning the whole Earth, of course! It’s so cool! I can see the entire Earth, no, the entire Galaxy clearly! I feel like I’ve become a God! Hey there, Chen Jun, I just saw Obama! He didn’t brush his teeth! There’s a piece of greens stuck between his teeth… Hey! Aliens, I see live ones! Used to only see alien corpses at the organization’s base… Cough cough, let me talk to them: Ahem, mortals, I am your God…”

I turned around and gripped Qianqian’s hands tightly, tears in my eyes, “Dear, let’s just live a simple life on Earth, we don’t need this thing…”

Qianqian cooperated nicely, “Alright, shutdown, let’s go home…”

“Hey hey hey! I was just kidding!” Lin Xue panicked at this point; being denied such a fun toy was as terrifying as death to her. Regardless of whether we were joking or not, she caved in, “It was so hard to find a new toy. Can’t a girl enjoy something fresh… I’ve been tormented by this damn malfunctioning machine these past few days… Technicians, adjust the energy output to a wide-area frequency from the outside, I’ve broken the control panel…”

Once Lin Xue stopped clowning around, she was quite responsible indeed. Soon, various types of information started appearing on the observation terminals surrounding us.

Most of this information consisted of abstract numbers and wave patterns, not visual images that one could directly observe. Although I didn’t understand it, seeing the focused expressions of the Xyrin Technicians, I knew that Lin Xue had begun receiving signals from beyond our world.

As time ticked by second by second, what we received were still various garbled codes: echoes from after the destruction of worlds, the throes of the birth of new ones, and meaningless noise from the Chaotic Space…

In the meantime, we also picked up some signals with clear traces of intelligent beings. These were data unintentionally released by super beings in some worlds after they had grasped some World Laws. Even though these weren’t our targets, the Xyrin Technicians quickly recorded the coordinates of these worlds for future reference.

Alright, I better keep an eye on a certain War Lolita beside me whose face is slightly flushed with excitement; it seems someone’s conquest factor has begun burning fiercely…

Finally, when Lin Xue switched to the last wavelength she hadn’t tried yet, a distorted voice abruptly filled the hall: “…In the name of Elune… sizzle… Good heavens, it’s the Fear Demon King… sizzle… the reinforcements from Stormwind City… sizzle… retreat to… the defense line… sizzle…”
