Chapter 11 Departure

Two days later, the Initial arrived in the East Sea.

During these two days, Xiao Man had been in the meditation room, comprehending the breathing technique in a "flow state."

Gu Shen, on the other hand, continued to search for traces of Turing in every corner of the Initial, but the gains were almost zero.

A Fu stayed by Gu Shen's side the whole time.

This Initial's butler was not as aloof as it appeared on the surface. Having been submerged in the icy sea for hundreds of years, this guy was long bored out of his mind.

For the past two days, A Fu had been chattering on and on, constantly asking Gu Shen about trivial matters of the outside world. He was quite the chatterbox, but Gu Shen patiently replied to each question.

His state of mind had already surpassed "flow," and he could multitask with ease, handling A Fu's questions as a mere afterthought.

Aside from that, Gu Shen was also happy to talk to it more.

After all, every time they chatted for a while, A Fu would spontaneously reveal some interesting information. This guy was frighteningly simple-minded; Gu Shen didn't even need to set traps to dig information out of him.

From A Fu's words, Gu Shen roughly understood what the era led by the God of Craftsmen was like.

It was an extremely prosperous and powerful nation with countless cutting-edge technologies. There were four leaders in the human world who successfully refined the power of the Gospel Box fragments. These four leaders protected the ancient civilization and successfully created "starships"...

Of these four leaders, Gu Shen knew of the God of Craftsmen and the Lord of Love.

As for the other two, it wasn't that A Fu didn't want to say, but that it couldn't.

A Fu's program was created by the God of Craftsmen, and there were some things it was destined never to be able to do. Even if he took A Fu apart, it would be useless to try to get "information" about those two leaders from its mouth.

"A total of four leaders... The top combat power of A Fu's era doesn't seem to be as strong as the Seven Gods of the Five Continents."

Gu Shen suddenly remembered a hidden piece of information.

He had once heard Mr. Bai Shu say that in the highest seat conference room of the 【Deep Water Zone】, there were a total of thirteen seats!

To enter this conference room, one had to be a melder of the "Fire Seed"... The person who cast this mental conference room was none other than Turing!

"The Seven Gods of the Five Continents..."

"The Traveler of the northern 【Old World】..."

"The four leaders of the ancient civilization..."

Gu Shen counted, and the Fire Seed wielders he knew of currently totaled twelve!

Few people would deeply consider the seating arrangement of the highest seat conference room.

Because for the past six hundred years, there had only been seven God Seats in the Five Continents... Even with the "Traveler," there were only eight!

"Could it be that Mr. Turing knew how many 'Fire Seed Masters' could be created from the power of the Gospel Box fragments scattered outside?"

Gu Shen shook his head.

That calculation was still wrong... Thirteen and twelve, there was still one missing.

Who was the one missing?

...

...

"Mr. Gu... you're leaving today, please allow me to take you to a good place."

A Fu really didn't expect that one day it would feel reluctant to part with these two strangers who had "unexpectedly intruded."

It saw that Gu Xiao Man's meditation was about to end, so it quickly spoke to Gu Shen.

"Oh, are there still places on this Initial that I haven't been to?"

Gu Shen glanced at Xiao Man and asked with a smile, "And... is there any need to hide it from her?"

"It's not hiding it. I just hope that when Xiao Man comes out, I can give her a surprise."

A Fu chuckled.

The small cube floated in the bronze corridor, looking light and free. Gu Shen followed behind, passing through the storage rooms of the Red Shadows, as well as the transcendent living area.

"Well, I've already completed the refining and extraction of these black silver and packed them for you. The master's small nano-compression box has limited capacity, one hundred *jin* per box. See how much you can take away... If it's not enough, you can continue to come back and get more in the future."

As compensation for breaking the authority item.

A Fu very thoughtfully hollowed out a black silver mine outside the snowy plains. The amount of black silver inside was a terrifying astronomical figure... It could only be said that the ancient civilization enjoyed too many resources. This one hundred *jin* of refined and extracted black silver, if placed in the Five Continents, would be enough to drive every major force crazy.

This was probably the total output of the Five Continents in the past five years.

Gu Shen's 【Pure Land】 and Xiao Man's 【Annihilation Dream】 could both reverse the real world and the dream realm, achieving "temporary storage." After these black silvers were nano-compressed, they were also convenient to transport.

The resources Gu Shen was taking back this time were enough to bring the lagging strong logical weapons of Nagano to a new level!

"It's a pity that the Red Shadows' program settings are locked with permission locks. They only obey my orders. Otherwise, I should have let Xiao Man take a few to act as personal guards." A Fu said regretfully, "If you want to take them back for research, you can also take them away."

"Red Shadows... aren't necessary."

Gu Shen shook his head.

He really wanted to take this robot back... But if he couldn't control it, there was no point in taking it back.

As for research.

The human world was currently too far behind the technology of the God of Craftsmen. It could be said that these were not products of the same track at all. Taking this thing back to Nagano might not be a good thing for those researchers.

The strength of the Red Shadows lay partly in the "spirit" injected into them by the God of Craftsmen.

It possessed top-notch close combat skills and swordsmanship.

But a larger part lay in the Red Shadow's own "materials." It was cast entirely of black silver, and the core joints were pieced together with "Miracle Silver" crafted by the God of Craftsmen. Gu Shen visited the workshop that produced the Red Shadows. The seemingly simple combat robot required hundreds of processes... The production plant covered tens of thousands of square meters!

It was useless to take the Red Shadows back. If A Fu allowed it, Gu Shen could move this entire Red Shadow production plant back, which would be useful.

In the end, the two stopped in front of a simple and unadorned "space capsule."

This was the head of the Initial's capsule, used for the "pilot" to rest... Although the Initial didn't need a pilot.

Gu Shen silently looked at the space capsule in front of him, and there was also a floating alloy wardrobe.

Was this the good place A Fu was talking about?

"The master used to rest here."

A Fu's tone was filled with remembrance and regret. It said with a smile, "Gu Shen, can you see anything different?"

"Nothing different." Gu Shen shook his head.

A Fu revealed an unfathomable smile, "Look again, look more carefully."

"Hmm?"

Gu Shen opened his Blazing Fire Pupil and scanned around. This space capsule was just an ordinary rest room. The capsule was clean and dust-free, and the alloy wardrobe still had a few robes of ancient civilization made of coarse linen hanging on it, with black lacquered edges and rolled golden cloud patterns.

He looked carefully for a long time.

Gu Shen said helplessly, "Is there anything unique about this place? I really can't see it."

"Very good... even your eyes have been deceived."

A Fu smiled happily, "Look at those robes hanging on the wardrobe, take one and try it on..."

Gu Shen was stunned for a moment. He had noticed the robes before, and there was nothing different about them, but when he took one down, he immediately understood what A Fu meant.

This black robe could be put on directly, and slightly cinched at the waist. It did not affect movement at all, and was as convenient as a cloak.

This was the first time Gu Shen had worn such close-fitting clothing.

The last time he had such a feeling was with the sixth-order source armor developed by the North Continent Underground Research Institute, but the wearing comfort was much worse.

What really shocked Gu Shen...

Was that after putting on this black robe, he felt that his entire aura had become restrained.

How vast was his current mental sea?

This black robe completely concealed it, covering it all.

"This is one of the master's most proud works during his lifetime."

A Fu said with great pride, "The Cloak of Divine Concealment, the Shroud of Invisibility, both names are fine... As the name suggests, after putting on this robe, both mental power and source substance aura will be greatly hidden. Even the fluctuations of the 'Power of Authority' can be concealed."

"Divine Concealment..."

Gu Shen stretched out his hands and looked at his ten fingers.

In his mental perception, he seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

This was truly shocking.

The words "Divine Concealment" were by no means a false name. This kind of divine creation was truly beyond Gu Shen's understanding. In his impression, Gu Nan Feng had a cloak with a similar effect, called "Mist Concealment." That Mist Concealment Cloak was a quasi-S-grade sealed item excavated by General Rust Bone when exploring the ruins of the 【Old World】, and it could be called a treasure.

Thinking about it now.

This Mist Concealment Cloak was very likely a counterfeit of the Divine Concealment Cloak left behind by the ancient civilization.

"There is actually such a divine object in this world..."

Gu Shen couldn't help but exclaim at this moment.

"Of course, what kind of person is my master?"

This was what A Fu was waiting for.

Seeing Gu Shen's shocked appearance, it was very pleased. At this moment, it gritted its teeth and finally made up its mind: "You and Xiao Man, each take one back!"

"???"

Gu Shen looked at A Fu in disbelief.

When did this guy become so generous!

"I saw that Miss Xiao Man has been wearing a black cloak, which is tattered and old, and its combat effectiveness is far inferior to this one... so I thought of giving her a gift."

A Fu murmured, "Maybe she will like this one, what do you think?"

The Tower of Origin had always been under the control of the Sky God Seat, and the surveillance of 【Cloud Mirror】 was everywhere. Even if Xiao Man discarded the Cloud Ring, she would have nowhere to hide after returning.

But with this cloak, it would be different.

Gu Xiao Man could completely hide her tracks by putting it on.

It had to be said that this Divine Concealment Cloak was sent at just the right time!

"Xiao Man will definitely like it very much."

Gu Shen looked at the Divine Concealment Cloak, then looked at A Fu, and asked in surprise, "I didn't expect you to give me one, what wind blew you here?"

"Hey, don't think too much, giving it to you... is purely accidental!"

A Fu was stunned for a second, and recovered its grumbling appearance. It had finally been generous once, giving away the master's creation, and what it got in return was the feedback of "what wind blew you here."

It was about to be angered to death by Gu Shen.

But the AI's recovery speed was very fast.

A Fu snorted coldly and said in a stiff tone, "Seeing that you have performed well during this period of time, I will withdraw the title of 'violent maniac.' The master once said that one should be generous when interacting with people, giving a few gifts is nothing, I am not a stingy person."

"Well said."

Gu Shen quickly echoed.

This guy, the God of Craftsmen must have set up the "affected" and "tsundere" programs.

He couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

What was even more interesting...

This week, A Fu was no longer the "butler" it was before. That sentence just now clearly showed that it subconsciously regarded itself as a "person."

This was a good thing.

"After leaving the Initial, I hope you can take good care of Xiao Man."

A Fu paused, and said meaningfully, "This cloak will be my thank you gift to you."

"What are you talking about."

Gu Shen reached out and patted the small cube, and said indifferently, "Even if you don't give this cloak, I will still take good care of her..."

"Then give it back to me."

"There is absolutely no possibility of that."
