Chapter 63: Homemade Gear (2/2)

The three of them immediately sprang into action after hearing Qi Ji’s words.

The short-haired girl spread the paper on the ground, while Niu Wu and the blonde girl carefully poured the Ice Crystal Stones from the box onto the paper, making sure not to spill a single stone.

Qi Ji nodded in satisfaction.

“Next, put the paper and the Ice Crystal Stones back into the box, making sure the paper is in direct contact with the bottom of the box and the rest of the stones are in contact with the sides of the box. Cut off any excess paper with the small knife and keep it tidy,” Qi Ji instructed.

The three of them quickly followed Qi Ji’s instructions and completed this step.

“Good, now pour the collected mineral water into the box, filling it up to the top,” Qi Ji said.

The blonde girl, Niu Wu, and the short-haired girl poured all the collected mineral water into the box.

The water filled the box perfectly, which surprised the three of them.

Meanwhile, Qi Ji walked over to a nearby mechanical contraption that was partially operational.

Although the machine was moving, it was not functioning properly due to a missing gear.

Qi Ji carefully examined the machine, made a few gestures, and seemed to be simulating something.

After a while, Qi Ji returned to the three of them.

By this time, the Ice Crystal Stones and water in the box had reacted and formed a rectangular block of ice.

“Carefully remove the ice block from the box,” Qi Ji said.

Niu Wu immediately began to act, carefully lifting the ice block out of the box with both hands.

Qi Ji tore off the paper that had been used earlier and touched the ice block.

The ice block was surprisingly hard and cold, which put Qi Ji’s mind at ease.

“Give me the small knife!” Qi Ji said to the blonde girl.

The blonde girl handed over the small knife without hesitation.

Qi Ji began to draw a pattern on the ice block with the small knife.

At first, Niu Wu and the two girls did not know what the pattern was, but soon they realized it was a gear.

Qi Ji repeatedly rubbed the small knife against the ice block, and the knife’s sharpness made the cutting process very fast.

In less than a minute, Qi Ji had cut out a gear.

If it were the past, Qi Ji would not have been able to complete such a precise operation in such a short time.

However, he was now a Warrior and possessed the Nine Divine Mind Revolutions.

Although the Warrior’s strength was limited in this mode, his spiritual power was not.

Qi Ji quickly walked over to the mechanical contraption, holding the newly cut gear, and slowly aligned the gear’s central hole with a stationary axis.

“When the carriage door opens, we must enter immediately!” Qi Ji said seriously.

Niu Wu and the two girls nodded solemnly, their eyes revealing their shock at Qi Ji’s impressive skills.

Qi Ji gazed at the two gears below, one of which was rotating slowly, while the other was stationary.

Seizing the opportunity, Qi Ji inserted his gear along the axis, and it meshed perfectly with the other two gears.

As the ice gear turned, the previously stationary gear began to rotate.

“Hum…”

Suddenly, the carriage door in front of them slowly opened.

Qi Ji reacted quickly, leading the way into the carriage, followed closely by Niu Wu and the two girls.
