CHAPTER 1701: CHAPTER 1702: TOY

Although the chaos hasn’t completely subsided, after several days of patrolling, Maomu City has lifted its emergency state. Every day, Feng Yuan, who turned into Little Husky lying on top of Big Cat, finally doesn’t need to continue following them patrolling the suburban lands.

At this time, a special toy began to gain popularity among the masses. Even in this still-not-fully-stable situation, the toy and its creator are gradually becoming hot topics.

"Is this the Skyship model? It looks quite ordinary, although it can float and fly on its own. But, aren’t there too many modification parts?"

Looking at the clutter of parts on the desk, Feng Yuan said with some headache. He didn’t know what the entertainment company was thinking, releasing an assembly toy that actually added a bunch of modification parts to a Skyship comparable to a full-sized object as its main component.

Besides this main pack, those who need it can purchase strange modification supplements like Sky Island to customize, but... looking at that pile of parts, Feng Yuan doubts how many people can assemble it?

The teacher, who was teaching, glanced at the pile of parts on Feng Yuan’s desk and sighed, ignoring him. Whether that guy listens to his lesson makes no difference. Furthermore, he naturally also has the Skyship model. Unfortunately, the most frustrating part of Entertainment Domain’s release is that it doesn’t separate the modification parts from the main body. Or rather, when they draw the assembly instructions, it’s done using modular design.

So a troubling thing occurred. The first thing most people need to do is figure out how to secure the main body and determine how many modification modules can be used. After all, according to the current online information, the Skyship’s main body lacks many crucial modules, meaning that assembling a complete Skyship definitely requires using some modification parts to complete.

The most troublesome aspect is that some modules have no restriction on installation location. Those modules in different installation areas can achieve different effects, which offers maximum freedom for modification but also causes many people to struggle and finally assemble something only to find that the modules conflict.

"This thing is quite special. If it weren’t for the existence of the Skyship invitation voucher, I’m afraid there wouldn’t be as many fans of this thing as there are now."

Dou Yanlan glanced at the parts on Feng Yuan’s desk and whispered. Beside her, Cotton was helping Dou Yanlan take classroom notes with its little paw. It’s unknown why Cotton seems to enjoy taking notes for Dou Yanlan, even though it can’t hold a pen; it doesn’t stop it from using its paw tip as a pen.

As for Feng Yuan reminding her earlier? That guy doesn’t even necessarily listen to the class, let alone take notes. Even Xiao Ji wanted to mimic Cotton’s method but couldn’t do it, because its paws are too big and can’t be used as a pen even with the tips.

"It seems the Skyship invitation voucher requires entering a selection review to obtain it? However, initiating an event like this at this time, I fear the primary aim is to divert attention."

Feng Yuan laughed and said, Regarding Skyship, he doesn’t have much feeling. Although it’s Entertainment Domain’s latest research, for Feng Yuan... that guy can lift a city into the sky, a mere Skyship really is nothing.

However, for many people, the chance to board Entertainment Domain’s latest Skyship for free is quite a temptation. Unfortunately, ordinary people wanting to attend the maiden flight ceremony can only vie for tickets by participating in the Skyship assembly competition, which is also the root cause of the Skyship model’s popularity.

"Perhaps, but it could also be to recoup funds. After all, this thing’s current sales clearly have already recovered a lot of their research costs."

Dou Yanlan smiled slightly and said, Feng Yuan glanced at the pile of parts on the desk and said

"That’s true; however, this thing... it’s almost like they’ve leaked out the design plan of their latest Skyship, Hundred Birds."

Although Feng Yuan hasn’t seen the design plans of the opponent’s Skyship, this model clearly isn’t just a simple assembly toy. To be honest, it can be considered a mini Skyship, with some unsuitable for downsizing structures omitted. That’s why there’s a lot of strategy shared online for assembling even the main body, and many people are watching them.

Generally, people don’t necessarily understand this thing, especially to ensure flight stability. They either need to use a large self-balancing module at the core cabin to anchor, or they need to add stability devices in the ship’s surrounding modification areas, otherwise, the Skyship will somersault or spin randomly upon ascending.

Glancing at the content in the textbook, finding it to be something he wasn’t interested in, Feng Yuan concentrated on assembling the model. Although he didn’t care much for the invitation to the Skyship’s maiden flight, the thing was quite intriguing.

"Feng Yuan, this... what is this thing?"

After class, Qi Chen turned his head and saw the strange thing on Feng Yuan’s desk. He was stunned; suspended in the air, yet the whole thing looked like a regular octagonal column. What was this strange thing?

Skyship? Qi Chen, who has been studying Skyship assembly these past two days, almost failed to recognize this familiar object, mainly because the official modification parts didn’t seem to include similar modules.

He reached out to press on the Skyship, noticing this ship only sunk a little to brace against the downward pressure. Feng Yuan tried pulling out a bag, transforming Xiao Ji into Eggshell Chicken form to stuff into the bag and hang it on the strange Skyship. Inside the bag, Xiao Ji was complaining, noticing the thing overhead could hold itself, Xiao Ji couldn’t help but call out in surprise.

However, this feeling of being constrained by the bag made Xiao Ji very displeased; the astonishing part was, no matter how much Xiao Ji struggled inside the bag, the vibrations transferred to the Skyship couldn’t cause much swinging of the ship. If the Skyship wasn’t gently swaying following Feng Yuan’s movement, they would suspect Feng Yuan used some method to fix it in space.

"This stability..."

One student looked at his own Skyship, lowering his head. Although Feng Yuan’s assembled Skyship had a relatively unusual shape, its stability was better than his own occasionally side-flipping Skyship.

"Strange, why is your Skyship so stable? And this shape..."

Dou Yanlan curiously scrutinized the octagonal elongated Skyship. She remembered that the main pack didn’t include modification parts of this shape, and the thing looked somewhat familiar?

"You mean this? It’s the side strip from the ship’s dock inside. I modified it a bit, since the original hull wasn’t suitable for hanging things. I must say, Entertainment Domain is quite generous with their materials; these strips happen to be unexpectedly strong."

While putting down Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said. The ship dock attachment component is part of the deluxe main pack, though most people haven’t completed assembling the hull, so few people went to assemble the dock. Feng Yuan initially didn’t plan to assemble the dock perfectly, but some parts were modified for his Skyship.

"The dock’s side strip?"

Dou Yanlan hesitated for a moment, recalling that the dock components included something similar. However, did he install additional power modules outside the modification area during his modification?

Feeling a bit of a headache, Dou Yanlan couldn’t help but inquire

"Can you lend me your Skyship to take a look?"

"This? Sure, but I’m not very satisfied with the assembly. I plan to buy a few modification packs after school to redo it. The current state only has a large load capacity, and the speed doesn’t keep up."

Glancing at the Skyship accompanying him, Feng Yuan said discontentedly, The main pack’s modification parts aren’t enough to meet his needs, and as for whether the expansion packs have suitable ones, he’s not very sure.

"Heavy load? Slow speed?"

Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan with confusion. She didn’t quite understand what he meant. Qi Chen puzzledly looked at him and asked

"What did you modify? I remember Skyship’s speed wasn’t considered slow."

"I changed the horizontal traction module to retain only the core module. As for the rest, they were all altered into lift enhancement modules and stability modules, otherwise, this thing couldn’t be this stable."

While speaking, Feng Yuan gave the Skyship a push, and the thing directly drifted horizontally out.
