All Novel Full Chapter 889
Chapter 889: Chapter 845: Soul Out of Body!_1 Chapter 889: Chapter 845: Soul Out of Body!_1 “How many outrageous things has Cloud Dream stuffed in here?”
Victoria gazed at the clockwork airship in the distance, completely speechless.
if the Tang Dynasty had really possessed such a transportation tool, wouldn’t it have unified the globe long ago?
This isn’t the Tang dynasy as in Chinese history, but the Tang Dynasty of some alternate universe, isn’t it?
Shuihua beside her did not have such complex thoughts, she just couldn’t help exclaiming: “Lincoln really likes airships, huh…”
Each of them took a relic to turn in for the mission, and the rest were rolled for by the players present.
Only those who had participated in the battles could get these relics, and only those whose story progress had reached [City Defender] and had accepted the mission could use them to complete missions.
Even if the progress hadn’t reached that point, it was okay, the relics could be used as tokens to a certain extent.
Once you complete Francis’s mission, you can use these relics to make purchases at this Mechanism Technique Master’s place, to upgrade your [Liquor Gourd], [Mechanical Birds], various weapons and armor.
The value is quite high.
Especially for the liquor gourd, no matter how much you improved the quality of the previous gourd, it could only hold one type of liquor.
But after an upgrade from Francis, the space inside the gourd would be “layered,” and you could freely choose what to pour inside, whether it’s alcohol, water, oil, medicine, poison, quicklime…
as long as it could be stuffed in and poured out, it’s all fine.
Of course, only one slot can be opened with each upgrade.

Want to open several slots at once?
Simple, the Mechanism City is right there, go and work your liver off.
As for weapons and armors, the modifications from Francis might not be stronger than those forged by other NPCs.
A grandmaster-level blacksmith’s divine weapon, and the magical techniques of a Taoist temple are not weaker than Mechanism Style weapons.
Which route to choose, it still depends on players’ preferences.
…
…
Victoria returned to her own world to settle the task with Francis, obtaining the [Life Card] and [Mechanical Box].
She also asked Francis, “How do I get to the Eastern Capital?”
She was a little curious about how players who didn’t get the key to the clockwork airship would go to Luoyang to proceed with the next task.

Francis counter-asked: “Don’t you have a horse?”
“???
”
Victoria’s first thought was: Is this line made up by Lincoln?
It wasn’t her being whimsical, the audience in the live streaming room were already laughing loudly while suggesting she should give Lincoln a hard time…
When she returned to Lincoln’s world, a large number of players had swarmed onto the airship, wanting to follow along for the spectacle.
Neither Shuihua nor Lincoln refused, as everyone had just helped out.
However, the airship has limited space, at most only about 100 people could board.
The remaining players either left to play on their own or returned to Furong Garden, hoping to see the flooded Mechanism City via the [Direct Path].
The difficulty of the current Mechanism City has obviously reduced a lot, it was a great opportunity for “trash picking”.
Victoria climbed up the rope ladder extended from the airship.
With the guidance from the players, she found Shuihua and Lincoln.
Both of them were standing in front of a control panel filled with clockwork and intricate mechanical structures, and the brass key had already been inserted in the center of the panel.
Shuihua held a life card in one hand, looking at the direction the blood dots indicated.
With her other hand on the rudder, she carefully adjusted the direction of the airship.
After adjusting, she confidently pulled a small button.
The mechanical sound of “clickety-clack” and the gear rotation sound of “creak-creak” rang out.
A few seconds later, the “ding-dong-ding” of a bell sounded.
Shuihua shouted loudly: “Hold tight!
We’re setting sail~~~”
Then, without giving any preparation time for the people on the deck, she shoved the control lever to the bottom!
A louder metallic collision sound echoed.
It seemed that it had been too long since it last functioned, the sound of the metal structure operating was a bit harsh, but soon the creaking sound disappeared and the mechanical sound became smooth and natural.
The propeller at the tail spun faster and faster, the clockwork airship slowly accelerated, and then——
Headed straight for Luoyang!
After finishing these tasks, Shuihua looked at the various small levers on the control panel, very much wanting to try out their effects.
But she still resisted.
——Wait until the main missions are over then slowly play, can’t mess with the serious stuff now.
Although she couldn’t play with the airship, Shuihua still had other things to play with.
She pulled out the [Mechanical Box] and said to Victoria and Lincoln:
“I know what to do with this thing now!”
“How do we use it?” Victoria and Lance also took out their Mechanism Boxes.
Shuihua grinned, opened her Mechanism Box, and reached her hand in.
— This scene seemed quite strange because the Mechanism Box was only half the size of a palm, not even as deep as a finger.
It did not look like someone could fit their hand inside at all.
But not only did Shuihua stick her hand in, but she also thrust her entire forearm in, and then pulled out a large wrench sideways!
Clearly, this wrench was crafted by a Player Blacksmith.
Victoria stared at the large wrench for a bit: “A storage device?”
Lance, on the other hand, looked at Shuihua gripping the wrench, somewhat confused: “Why carry a wrench?”
“Remember, we were going to explore Mechanism City?
I thought this could be useful,” explained Shuihua, “Even if we’re not heading to Mechanism City now, it could still give the airship a few knocks if it malfunctions.”
Lance nodded speechlessly and said, “Alright.”
Victoria took out her Mechanism Box and started stuffing various bits and pieces from her person into it.
Although her clothes seemed plain from the outside, the inside was full of pockets!
Finally, she could get rid of this encumbrance!
As she was packing, she asked, “What about the book?
Did you guys get to take a look at it?
I haven’t gotten the chance to read it yet.”
Lance nodded his head, “I skimmed through several pages.
They are all dated phrasings that record the history of Mechanism City, involving Mozi, Yanshi, and Gongshu Ban.”
“The construction of Mechanism City appears to be a response to some evil force, but I have not yet discovered what that specific force is.”
After hearing Lance’s explanation, Victoria flipped through two pages of the book, discovering that they were all Ancient texts written vertically from right to left, making her head itch.
Making a snappy decision, she stuffed the book into the Mechanism Box.
As for the background story, she’ll wait until the lore digging party finishes organizing the information then read a vernacular translation of it.
Victoria left the control panel with plans to check out the view from the deck.
But as soon as she stepped onto the deck, someone yelled, “We’re here!”
“What?” Victoria was very surprised.
Although she had guessed that most of this journey was likely just a cutscene, similar to traditional game loading screens, they’d only set off a few minutes ago.
Weren’t they a bit too fast?
She ran to the edge of the deck, looked out, and was greeted with the sight of a magnificent city in the distance!
Lance and Shuihua also quickly ran out and together gazed at the approaching cityscape.
The city, much like Chang’an, was made up of rectangular blocks forming a grid.
Viewed from afar it was orderly, pleasing to the eye, and bisected into two parts by the Luo River.
Also, it was much smaller in scale, roughly half the size of Chang’an City.
However, it did not detract from the grandeur and beauty it exuded.
Everyone crammed to this side of the deck and examined with great interest this “Divine Capital” standing proudly upon the earth.
“Cloud Dream…
really has another city hidden away!”
“So why is the game called ‘Chang’an,’ not ‘Luoyang’ or ‘Tang Dynasty’?
Is it because my Luoyang doesn’t deserve it?”
“500 dollars for a buy one get one!
Buy Chang’an, get Luoyang!
Quick, say thanks to Cloud Dream!”
“I haven’t finished exploring the brothels of Chang’an…
and now there’s Luoyang…
Oh my god, it’ll never end!”
…
Everyone was chattering excitedly, itching to enter the city and see the unique features of the Divine Capital Luoyang.
However, just as the airship crossed Luoyang’s city walls without lowering its altitude, Victoria, Shuihua, and Lance, who were standing at the edge of the deck, suddenly lost consciousness without warning and fell overboard!
A quick-reacting player at the side caught their belts in time and pulled all three back onto the deck.
But the three of them were inexplicably unconscious, lying lifeless on the deck, unresponsive to shouting or shaking.
A female viewer pinched Victoria’s nose, trying to awaken her.
But even after Victoria started losing health due to suffocation, she still did not wake up.
The male viewer tried to pinch Lance’s philtrum with all his might, but even with Lance bleeding, there was still no reaction.
Finally, he squatted down next to him, looking at Lance, and then at his hand, debating whether or not to give him a slap…
Only Shuihua laid peacefully on the deck without anyone messing with her.
A viewer was even concerned that Shuihua was uncomfortable lying down, and specially sat on the deck to let Shuihua rest her head on her lap.
Everyone glanced at each other for a moment, then suddenly someone reacted, “The Live Streaming room!”
Everyone hurriedly opened the control panel, jumped to the live streaming room, and were then slightly horrified to see–
Victoria and Lance, standing right there with everyone else!
But as soon as their eyes left the live streaming room, as clear as day, they couldn’t see anything!
