"As I said, it's just a discussion, not confirmed yet." Master Ban quickly emphasized again.
Tian Minghun waved his hand indifferently, "This is not important. What is important is that you must quickly solve my face problem."
"Hey..." Master Ban pinched his waist, took a breath, and wanted to talk to Tianming. After thinking about it, he felt that this was too stupid, so he simply pressed the Qinglong plan for the time being, took a half step back and responded:
"For the time being...I mean, assuming you will participate in the Qinglong Project, you don't need to increase your height? It's not convenient to do it yet."
"Before taking action, you don't need to meet the leaders of other forces. At most, you should show your face in front of our brothers from the Mo family."
"Then you have to pay attention to your appearance." Tianming argued for himself, "In front of the brothers of the Mo family, I have to maintain a dignified image."
"I think that will only make them unable to recognize you." Master Ben complained.
Almost every Mohist disciple knows that his tycoon is a teenage boy. If he suddenly grew taller, he would probably be shocked.
"Old man Ben, please help me, I really want to grow taller." After finishing all the lies, Tianming started to play the emotional card.
"I used to be unreliable, weak, and just a kid, so you couldn't trust me."
"But now I am reliable enough and my strength has improved dramatically. You still can't trust me. I think my height is a flaw."
"If I looked like an adult like you, wouldn't I continue to be mistrusted?"
Tian Ming's words of misfortune immediately moved Master Ban, and his newly raised suspicions were immediately dispelled.
"You..." Master Ben sighed softly and explained, "It's not that we don't trust you, we just want to protect you."
"To me, this means not trusting me and my ability." Tianming did not accept this so-called kindness.
"I don't understand. If according to your idea, I can only do it if I have to ensure safety, then shouldn't I give up and follow... and lead you to resist the empire?"
"This must be the most dangerous thing in the world, right?"
Master Ban was speechless for a moment due to Tianming's retort.
Ever since they embarked on the path of resisting the empire, death has actually been the last thing they feared and the last thing they should fear.
Ordinary Mohist disciples can be afraid of death because, like many people, they actually have no choice.
Resistance is their choice, but it is not their choice.
But senior executives like Master Ban are different. Everything is their subjective choice. Of course, they cannot be afraid of death.
If you are afraid of death, you shouldn't take this road. You can just hide and become a free man.
No matter how turbulent the world is and how harsh the government is, it will not affect people like them.
Their goodwill toward Tianming is essentially no different from the emperor's behavior of imposing one person's heart on the hearts of the world.
Master Ban didn't know how to respond to Tianming, but he still didn't want to put Tianming in danger...even if he knew it was inappropriate.
After struggling for a while, Master Ben returned to the topic of the height-increasing device:
"I will help you solve the problem of heightening as soon as possible."
Master Ban thought that if the matter of letting Tianming participate in the Qinglong Project ended up being nothing, it would give him some comfort.
As for the time required...there's always a squeeze.
After accepting this matter, Master Ban stopped talking to Tian Ming and ran away quickly.
If he continued talking to Tian Ming, Master Ban felt like he was going to be in trouble.
After he left, Tianming showed a satisfied smile.
This time he not only achieved his original goal - the height-increasing device, but also had an additional gain - the hope of participating in the Blue Dragon Project openly.
Compared to Master Ban, who was almost irritated by Tianming's accusation and the issue of the popularization of mechanism skills, he was so happy.
………………
Although he successfully deceived Master Ban, the height-increasing device Tianming needed was indeed a bit complicated, and Master Ban couldn't fix it in a day or two.
So for the time being, he can only provide support to his two friends, and cannot take action himself.
After several adventurous trips by Shao Yu and Shi Lan to board the ship, they found nothing, not to mention a lot of harvest.
On the one hand, time is limited, and on the other hand, they have no clue.
Although the three of them are much more familiar with mirages than the rest of the Mo family, but... that's it.
They also know very little about the real key points of the mirage.
The most familiar Yunxiao Pavilion is temporarily of no use due to reconstruction problems.
Other places... they don't know much about it.
Tianming actually asked them to pay extra attention to the situation of Toad Palace and Zibei Water Pavilion.
But nothing was gained.
The location of Toad Palace is special, and it is difficult for both Shao Yu and Shi Lan to get there within the limited time.
The two of them spent a lot of time wandering around the Zibei Water Pavilion, but unfortunately they couldn't get any clues.
"Our efforts have been in vain!"
In a remote corner outside the port, Tianming said to his two friends in frustration.
"This... harvest is indeed very small." Shao Yu reluctantly admitted his incompetence.
Shi Lan's face isn't very pretty either.
In terms of urgency, she is the most anxious among the three, and even Tianming cannot compare with her.
"I noticed that Yun Zhongjun appeared in the alchemy room, but he left quickly."
"It's always too late to follow him, but looking at his direction, he once went in the direction of Zibei Water Pavilion."
Shi Lan spoke in a deep voice about her only gain in the past few days.
It's valuable, but really not much.
"How to do this? It's not a problem to keep working in vain!"
Tianming spread his hands and asked for advice.
Shi Lan frowned and responded: "Perhaps... it's time to take a risk and track down Yun Zhongjun's specific whereabouts?"
"No!" Shao Yu hurriedly spoke to stop him, "Yun Zhongjun is already very powerful. It is very risky to follow him. If you extend the tracking time, if you cannot get off the ship in time, it will be too dangerous to be alone on the mirage!"
"You still have to think of other breakthroughs."
Tianming rolled his eyes at this time, and a thought suddenly occurred to him:
"I seem to have an idea."
"What the hell do you have in mind?"
Shao Yu's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.
Tianming has always been full of ideas, especially after coming down from the mirage.
"At present, it seems that we are unlikely to keep an eye on those Yin Yang family members in the mirage, so we have to change our thinking."
Shao Yu frowned, "You mean to use other targets as an entry point?"
"But is there anyone else on the mirage who can provide us with information?"
Tianming grinned, "Of course."
"Have you forgotten, Chitaki is also on the boat?"
"Qianlong?" Tianming's words stunned Shaoyu.
Tianming mentioned this matter more than once, but Shaoyu never thought that Qianlong could help them.
One is because Chitaki has never appeared, and they have not found any trace of her.
The second reason is that Chitaki’s status is really special.
As the daughter of a national master, it is difficult for Shaoyu to be optimistic about her position.
In comparison, Tianming trusts Qianlong more than Shaoyu.
Shao Yu had no objection to this.
He thought Chitaki would at least not trick them.
Shi Lan didn't know anything about Qianlong, so seeing that Tianming trusted him, he naturally wouldn't raise any questions.
But the most critical issue now is not Chitaki’s position, but... she can’t be found!
"Even if Chitaki is still on the ship, even if Chitaki can help us, we can't find her!"
Shaoyu spread his hands and responded helplessly.
They basically couldn't keep an eye on the senior officials of the Yin Yang Family, but at least they could still see a few of them.
Chitaki and the others have never met each other.
In response, Tianming waved his hand confidently and said:
"This is nothing!"
"I'm sure I can find her!"
Shaoyu looked at Tianming who looked confident, "What can you do?"
He thought that he had never heard of any clever tricks that Tianming had to find Qiantaki.
If there was, this guy should have used it long ago.
Why are you so confident now?
Tian Ming, however, pretended to be more cautious, waved his hand and replied, "You don't have to worry about it, I have a solution."
Tianming's method is very simple - rely on metaphysics!
He felt that with the bond between him and Chitaki, as long as he boarded the ship, he would be able to see her again.
The main reason why I have such an idea is because of the wonderful experience I had with Chitaki last time.
Although he still didn't understand why that strange situation happened, he was certain that there must be a deep and unique bond between him and Chitaki.
And he can definitely find Qiantaki with this bond!
It should be said that he is a little bit of a middle schooler, but it is normal for his age.
What's more, his idea is actually correct.
Shaoyu didn't press Tianming on what he could do. He raised another problem:
"But you can't get on the boat yet."
Tianming's smile froze, and he said with a straight face:
"I'll be able to do it right away. Mr. Ban promised to do it as soon as possible."
This time it was Shaoyu's turn to grin:
"I am looking forward."
Shi Lan, who was on the side, watched the two people bickering, and a slight smile appeared on his somewhat gloomy face.
Things are so difficult in this world, but fortunately she still has two friends by her side.
………………
At the same time, the Mohist stronghold.
Without Tianming knowing about it, after several days of hard work, Master Ban finally made the height-increasing device that Tianming needed.
Different from the 'half-leg' idea proposed by Tianming, Master Ban's actual finished product is much more complicated.
The most basic part is indeed a pair of mechanical feet, about three or four inches in height, which is exactly what Tianming needs.
On top of the mechanical feet, there is a set of complex and cumbersome precision mechanical structures similar to exoskeleton armor.
The overall structural frame is very simple, with large and small transmission gears and transmission brackets scattered throughout.
Judging from the fairly eye-catching appearance, this thing is probably meant to be 'put on' by people from above, using the mechanical foot part as a height-increasing shoe.
However, unlike shoes that are not controlled by humans, through the complex mechanical structure connected to the mechanical feet, people can indirectly control the movements of the 'feet' through various behaviors of the upper body.
In this way, the problem of inconvenience in mobility is solved.
At the same time, Master Ban also tried his best to control the size of the device and made the armor part very thin and light.
In this way, the entire device can be completely covered by wearing looser clothes.
The disadvantage is that it is not strong enough, and it is likely to be damaged if it is continued to be used during combat.
Of course, Master Ben was not satisfied with this.
As the world's leading mechanism master, Master Ben never likes to create defective mechanism creations.
It's a pity that he can no longer care about continuing to improve...and there is really not much room for improvement.
If you want to continue to improve the strength, you can only start with the materials, and Master Ban has no good solution in this regard.
Now, he has another more important thing to do that he promised Tianming.
Walking into the meeting hall, Gao Jianli, Gai Nie and others were already there.
Master Ban exchanged greetings with everyone, sat down, and then started the topic to be discussed today:
"What do you think of Tianming's request?"
Gao Jianli was the first to speak and rejected it:
"No, we can't risk it."
"We should already have a consensus on this."
Master Ben smiled bitterly and nodded, "Indeed."
"But..." He changed the subject, "Should we really do this?"
"Restrict Mohist giants from participating in the Blue Dragon Project?"
Gao Jianli was silent for a moment.
The leader of the Mohist family is different from the leader of the peasant hall. Although he has the power to participate in decision-making, he does not have the power to make decisions beyond the authority of the giant.
Not to mention limiting the power of giants in turn.
After all, Tianming is a special case, giving them the reason and ability to do this.
But in the final analysis, all this is still wrong.
Pirate Zhi interjected, "But this is for the sake of Tianming and the Mo family."
"The future of the Qinglong Project is uncertain. We almost have to participate in the final action. We must leave the most important fire for the Mo family, right?"
Although they have great confidence in the Qinglong Plan, they must admit one thing - openly assassinating Ying Zheng is seeking death!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! No one thinks that they will be able to escape unscathed.
If they really failed and got themselves involved, the Mo family would have to have someone to stabilize the overall situation.
As a giant, Tianming was the most suitable candidate they chose.
In fact, Tianming may not be very suitable, because although his status is qualified, his prestige within the Mohist family is far lower than that of old people like Master Ban.
From a long-term perspective, Tianming's upper limit is higher.
He has extremely outstanding talents and a very smart mind. Plus he is young and has unlimited possibilities in the future.
For the Mohists, a giant with a promising future is very meaningful.
But if the Qinglong Plan fails, the Mo family is likely to suffer a more serious blow than the fall of Guancheng. There must be someone with enough weight and ability to lead the Mo family to continue on the road.
In this case, the promising future is not suitable enough.
It's just that Master Ban and the others are unwilling to withdraw from this operation, so they can only give Tianming a hard time.
In their view, Tianming, who is still young and has unlimited possibilities in the future, should not wade into this muddy water.
It's a pity that Tianming himself does not approve of this kind of evasion.
"It's right to keep the fire, but Tianming himself doesn't want to. Should we... still force it?" Master Ban once again spoke for Tianming.
Mohists are still Tong, this kind of behavior of ignoring the personal will of fellow disciples and forcing others is undoubtedly wrong for Mohist disciples.
When Master Ben said something that was almost politically correct, it was hard for anyone to refute him.
Then Xue Nu asked, "So, Master Ban, are you planning to support Tianming in participating in the Blue Dragon Project?"
"I..." Master Ban's expression froze, he tilted his head in embarrassment, and replied in an erratic tone, "I don't know what to do, so I came to you for discussion."
