Chapter 264: Humanoid Battle Armor

“Why are you guys stopping me? I want to see Su Ying. 1 want to see Su Ying.”

Su Ying stood up when she heard the commotion outside the door. It was Xue Zhen’s voice.

She had arranged for this kid to stay in an independent courtyard house. Three meals a day would be sent to him, and there would be people taking care of his daily life. Therefore, he rarely appeared in front of everyone. Today, he took the initiative to look for her. It must be for something important.

“Let him in.”

The black slaves heard Su Ying’s voice and didn’t stop Xue Zhen anymore.

When Su Ying reached the outer hall, she saw Xue Zhen running in excitedly. “Su Ying, Su Ying! Let’s go, let’s go! I’ll take you to have a look. I’ve made it, I’ve made it!”

Xue Zhen was about to pull Su Ying away, but before he could touch her, he was stopped by a large hand.

“Made what?”

Xue Zhen glared at Xiao Jin with displeasure and pushed Xiao Jin’s hand away.

“I won’t tell you. 1 will only tell Su Ying.”

Xiao Jin frowned slightly, but Su Ying was curious to know what good stuff Xue Zhen had made. “Let’s go. Take me to have a look.”

Xue Zhen nodded, then turned around and walked out excitedly.

Su Ying and Xiao Jin followed him out of the palace and arrived at the courtyard he lived in.

At this moment, the sky was already dark, and only two sheepskin lanterns were lit in the courtyard.

After Xue Zhen arrived at the courtyard, he told Su Ying and the others to wait there while he ran to the backyard.

Before long, Su Ying heard a rumbling sound. She raised her head and saw a large and long shadow coming into view.

In the next moment, something as tall as Su Ying and Xiao Jin combined appeared before their eyes.

Su Ying looked at the tall wooden puppet in front of her and a hint of shock flashed across her eyes. This was the wooden robot she had asked Xue Zhen to make?

This wooden puppet looked like a human on the surface, but the belly in the middle was very big. Su Ying guessed that Xue Zhen was currently sitting inside the wooden puppet.

Pleasantly surprised, she walked forward and reached out to touch the wooden puppet. The surface of the wooden puppet was polished by Xue Zhen until it was very smooth. Most importantly, the wooden puppet’s finger joints seemed very flexible.

“Xue Zhen, show me how powerful your wooden puppet is.”

“Watch.” Sure enough, Xue Zhen’s voice rang out from the wooden puppet’s stomach.

The next moment, the wooden puppet suddenly turned to Xiao Jin and punched him. Xiao Jin’s eyes darkened and he dodged in a flash.

However, the wooden puppet did not stop there. It quickly changed its direction and swept its long arm in Xiao Jin’s direction.

Xiao Jin tried to fight back, but he did not take the initiative to attack. When he realized that the wooden puppet was able to exchange blows with him, he converged a little power in his palm and slapped his palm on the wooden puppet, but the wooden puppet remained standing, as stable as a mountain range.

Xiao Jin didn’t expect the wooden puppet’s foundation to be so stable.

Xue Zhen waved the wooden puppet’s arm gleefully. He laughed out loud and rushed toward Xiao Jin again.

“I want to defeat you!”

This time, Xiao Jin no longer fooled around with Xue Zhen. Instead, he fought Xue Zhen seriously.

Su Ying stood to the side and watched, noting down some of the problems that occurred when the wooden puppet was operating.

Just as Su Ying was watching diligently, she heard a loud bang. The huge wooden puppet was sent flying and fell heavily to the ground.

A moment later, it struggled to get up again.

“Xue Zhen, come out. Let me play with it.” Su Ying also wanted to go in and try out this most primitive human-shaped armor.

When Xue Zhen heard her voice, he flipped the switch on the wooden puppet’s stomach and jumped out from inside.

“Su Ying, I’ll teach you. 1’11 teach you how to play. This one is really fun.”

Su Ying walked to the front of the wooden puppet and found that the space inside was very roomy. She herself was petite, so there was still a lot of space left even after she sat inside.

There were many mechanisms inside, and Xue Zhen patiently explained them to Su Ying. Unlike those battle armor made of energy and steel, this thing required a fair bit of effort to operate.

Su Ying pulled the red ring inside, and the wooden puppet stood up from the ground at once.

Su Ying’s field of vision widened as well. Indeed, people who stood high breathed in a different kind of air!

Su Ying kept trying out the different pull rings. She even squatted down to pick up a stone and throw it out with great force.

Bang! The stone hit the wall of the courtyard, forming a depression.

When Su Ying first saw this puppet, she felt that it seemed quite flexible. To her surprise, it displayed even greater flexibility when she actually operated it.

Xiao Jin’s curiosity was piqued as he watched Su Ying playing happily.

When Su Ying was done playing and came down, Xiao Jin couldn’t wait to go up and give it a try.

“Xue Zhen, you’re a genius.”

Su Ying couldn’t help giving Xue Zhen a thumbs up. He had actually managed to create this thing all by himself after fiddling around.

Xue Zhen also smiled like a fool when the thing he was so proud of had been given the nod of approval.

“Tell me. What else do you want? I can make it for you.”

“I think this is already very good. When I saw you moving it just now, 1 found some small problems in the details. I think it can still be improved.”

“What problem? Tell me and I’ll improve on it.”

Su Ying brought up some of the minor problems she had observed earlier.

Xue Zhen gladly accepted the suggestions, because he felt that Su Ying was right.

“Then I’ll go make the improvements now.” After hearing Su Ying’s suggestions, he turned around and slipped back into the wooden puppet’s stomach. Then he walked the puppet back to the backyard.

As Su Ying watched him leave, her smile widened.

After Xiao Jin and Su Ying returned to the palace, Su Ying could not stop smiling.

“You are so happy?”

“Of course. Xiao Jin, think about it. If we have thousands of wooden puppets and form an army with them, what kind of scene will it be when those wooden puppets stand in front of you in neat rows?”

Xiao Jin was stunned momentarily when he heard that. When he thought of that scene, his passionate fervor began surging at once.

“I’ll go look for Tian Mu tomorrow.”

Tian Mu was a carpenter. Although he did not have Xue Zhen’s skills, he was at least much better than ordinary people. Su Ying wanted to know if this thing could be mass-produced.

During a battle, if a person hid in the wooden puppet, he would be immune to combat damage within a wide area. Ordinary sabers, spears, and rods would not be able to destroy the wooden puppet with a single strike.

Early the next morning, Su Ying found Tian Mu and told him to follow her to Xue Zhen’s place.

When Su Ying arrived, Xue Zhen was still fiddling around in the backyard of the empty house. When Su Ying and Tian Mu entered the compound, he didn’t even raise his head to look at the two of them.

Tian Mu looked at the wooden puppet in front of him in shock. He had been a carpenter for so many years, but he had never seen such a thing.

“City Lord, what… what is this? Such a big wooden man?” It would work quite well as a scarecrow if he were to put it in the fields.

Su Ying asked with a smile, “Xue Zhen, have you figured it out? Come, show it to Tian Mu.”

Xue Zhen turned to glance at Su Ying but ignored her..
