Chapter 303 - 185: Fox Mountain Automobile Project Begins! (Part 2)
At a nearby dining table, Bai Mo’s fox disciple, Butterfly Knot, perked up its ears, glanced sideways at the TV, and furrowed its brows.
So it’s a fellow car manufacturer!
It too has joined the Fox Mountain car manufacturing workshop, becoming a member of the Fox Mountain car manufacturing enterprise.
This time, following its master to the present world, it wasn’t here for a meal but for further study!
It pushed away the five large plates it had just cleaned off and looked at its master, who had long finished his meal.
"Whimper whimper whimper!"
Full and satisfied, off to the library for more studies!
...
Bang!
In the brightly lit library, a thick stack of books was slammed onto the self-study desk, all related to the automotive industry, freshly found by Bai Mo.
Bang!
Another stack was slammed down.
These are the ones Bai Mo found but couldn’t carry himself, so he had Butterfly Knot help him hold them.
"West State University’s library is indeed quite impressive. All kinds of messy books, everything needed is here!
"Let’s start learning!"
The master and disciple sat down at the desk and began today’s task.
Bai Mo’s task was to understand the traditional automotive industry and draw insights for Fox Mountain’s car manufacturing.
The automotive industry has developed over hundreds of years, with countless details and highly complex principles. Fortunately, Bai Mo resorts to Immortal Technique for car manufacturing, only needing to reference and borrow some general principles, without needing to fully comprehend modern automotive industry.
Flipped to one page.
"... MacPherson, five-link, double wishbone, the three mainstream suspensions.
"This section needs careful study."
The mountain roads of Fox Mountain are numerous, rugged, and bumpy. Having good suspension and shock absorption is essential; otherwise, it would ruin the car’s lifespan and disrupt the goods onboard.
Sitting in the chair beside, the disciple Butterfly Knot, also focusing intently on completing the task!
It is wearing headphones and holding a tablet connected to the library’s wireless network, watching videos!
Videos of car rallies, Formula racing, self-media reviews of household cars... It’s watching them all! Its studies are exactly this: understanding cars from the fox’s perspective, making itself more familiar with cars!
Thus, as time moved on bit by bit.
Bai Mo skimmed through, picking up usable knowledge and went through book after book. He gradually formed a conceptual understanding of cars at Fox Mountain, knowing how to start constructing them.
In the cool library, after closing the last book, he stretched lazily, yawning and shaking his body, feeling quite relaxed.
He suddenly heard a quiet conversation nearby.
"Can those car companies really bluff their way to investment?"
"Who knows? But in this year’s job market, the offers from these car companies are getting bigger and bigger..."
Investment?
Upon hearing these words, Bai Mo was suddenly reminded that Zhang Qiren’s head was still topped with Fox Mountain’s investment!
"Did he produce any results?
"If not, we’ll scare him a bit and make him improve efficiency."
With that thought, Bai Mo closed his eyes, his heart thought moved, and his vision went to Zhang Qiren.
First saw was his messy hair, and then, sheets of scratch paper that he had scribbled on.
"Eh?
"Are those mathematical formulas on the scratch paper?
"Modular forms?"
Bai Mo already somewhat understood these chaotic things. At this moment, he roughly knew what Zhang Qiren was writing.
"Isn’t he supposed to be researching Dream Origin? What’s with the math problems?
"Or... does he intend to use modern mathematical tools to analyze Dream Origin?"
Bai Mo’s eyes lit up!
If the Alchemy Path allows ancient and modern knowledge to achieve the same end, then the Array Path should as well?
This move by Zhang Qiren might actually yield results?
"Hey, this is pretty good.
"Seeing hope in investment returns, it grows even larger."
Beside him, the disciple Butterfly Knot was still watching videos... At this moment, its fox-eyes are locked onto the cars on screen, its face filled with wonder!
That’s it!
The one White Ears mentioned: small-sized, no rooftop, looks different from other cars, that’s the one!
It extended its claw, dragging the video progress bar back and forth examining the shape of the car as if trying to memorize it.
Bai Mo didn’t pay attention to it, took his laptop out of his backpack, and started to sort out his insights.
Suddenly, he noticed behind the bookshelf on his left front, a girl holding a pink envelope, eager to move!
Behind the bookshelf on the right front, a senior holding a pale blue envelope, still hesitating!
"Here we go again?"
Bai Mo smirked.
It seemed that frequenting the library these days had his movements caught by these female classmates.
He looked at his laptop, recalling the laser message from Su Yaoyao on it, considering whether to just peel off the sticker and reveal Su Yaoyao’s message?
As he hesitated, suddenly someone patted his shoulder from behind.
"Can I sit next to you?"
Who is it?
So direct?
Turning around, Bai Mo saw a young girl in sportswear, tall and slender, short hair by the ears, face delicate yet expression numb. Carrying a sword bag on her back, holding a backpack in hand, it was Wu Qingyun!
Bai Mo was still in a daze, suddenly noticing several eager female students nearby, all retreating in frustration upon seeing Wu Qingyun.
Oh?
They surely don’t compare to Wu Qingyun in looks.
So they retreated out of self-consciousness?
Bai Mo grinned and said to Wu Qingyun.
"Sit wherever you like."
Lately, Wu Qingyun had been busy with something unknown, hadn’t been to school for days.
Sitting opposite Bai Mo, she unloaded the sword bag, pulled out a stack of textbooks from her bag, and started catching up on studies!
Her mind is fairly sharp; she can grasp most of it.
A few things she couldn’t understand, she would tap Bai Mo’s shoulder, lower her voice, lean over, and softly ask for help.
"...This one, can’t derive the ant jumping tree trunk using the curvature radius of parabolic trajectory?"
University physics question?
Bai Mo glanced at it.
Also lowered his voice.
"No, that’s a trap..."
Thus, the afternoon sped by once again.
Wu Qingyun put away her textbooks, Bai Mo finished organizing his car manufacturing plan, Butterfly Knot watched who knows how many videos.
The two humans and one fox exited the library together. Butterfly Knot squatted on Bai Mo’s shoulder, Wu Qingyun walked beside Bai Mo, crossing the shaded campus paths, heading toward the cafeteria.
Wu Qingyun seemed much more approachable than before, proactively chatting along the way about all sorts of things.
"My task has changed.
"It’s now to protect the Immortal Grass Experimental Class.
"I will be staying long-term on campus from now on."
Bai Mo nodded.
The Immortal Grass Experimental Class indeed receives a lot of attention.
With Wu Qingyun staying to protect the class, she can study better and learn better, it’s a win-win situation.
Wu Qingyun added.
"Recently, West State City faces turbulence again, be cautious."
Turbulence?
Bai Mo frowned, but listened as Wu Qingyun elaborated.
"The Committee has hidden cameras.
"Monitoring Strange People Studio, Giant Food Mountain Immortal Beast, Dark World’s Li Yindao, Ancient Tomb School’s Chen Tong..."
A jumble of names.
Bai Mo recognized some, others he had never heard of.
Why are they coming to West State City?
I saw Wu Qingyun’s face turn serious.
"Their strength is formidable; all are seasoned Sequence Eight. Be careful if you encounter them."
Bai Mo maintained a poker face, his heart feeling peculiar, just nodding.
Suddenly he had a suspicion... Zhang Qiren is in West State City. Could these chaotic people coming relate to Zhang Qiren? Could it affect Fox Mountain’s investment?
The two humans and one fox walked out of the shaded path, approaching the cafeteria ahead.
Butterfly Knot on Bai Mo’s shoulder already craned its neck, squinting its eyes, nose sniffing.
Wu Qingyun added.
"These people dare not come to West State City easily.
"The boss behind West State has a very low tolerance for them.
"But this time, we got information.
"They are coming here, possibly due to Ancient Immortal’s commands."
Oh?
Bai Mo showed a curious look.
Entering the cafeteria alongside Wu Qingyun, starting to look for what to eat tonight.
But deep down, he subtly sensed something amiss.
"Ancient Immortal’s commands?
"Ancient Immortal commanded them to come to West State City?
"Could they really be targeting Zhang Qiren, looking into Dream Origin?
"Could they really be targeting our Fox Mountain’s investment?"
