Chapter 160

"Regarding this question, do you two have any opinions?"

Spider Teacher looked at the two students in front of her and didn't rush to announce the answer herself, but asked like this.

"Of course, it's the literal meaning—making mechanical puppets automated, and then commanding these mechanical puppets to build houses."

Dorothy answered as a matter of course.

"My stupid younger sister, if you are stupid, you should read more books. Go check what this is yourself."

In the Witch World, there are currently two mainstream construction methods. One is the more traditional and ordinary way of relying on manual labor to build bit by bit, and the other is relying on powerful construction magic to form it all at once.

The former mainly relies on the god-like status of witches. As long as they are willing, they can easily recruit a large number of alien laborers to work as construction workers at a relatively low price.

The latter relies on the god-like power of witches—moving mountains and reclaiming seas, filling the sea to create land. These things that seem like miracles to aliens are things they can really do.

It's just that both construction methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Manually built buildings often have more refined details, and the final product will be very exquisite. And with many people, there is great strength, so some large-scale projects can also be done. But it has the defects of slow construction and long construction periods.

And buildings built by magic often don't have so many details, but they are sturdy, durable, high-quality, and inexpensive. Order today, move in tomorrow—what is emphasized is efficiency.

Of course, that's what is said, but in practice, it won't be so rigid. This can completely have it all.

High-end witch construction societies all have witch architects bringing a whole team of alien construction teams together. Witches first start to lay the foundation, and then the construction team goes up to optimize the details, giving the building a handmade "soul."

Some high-end buildings in the Witch World, such as witch sky islands and various wonder buildings, are built by combining the two.

"Uh... also... then it's fine."

Well, although this sounds a bit like "taking off your pants to fart"—superfluous.

After all, alien labor in the Witch World is really cheap. The cost of building a whole team of mechanical puppet construction teams is enough for you to directly book the whole "manpower" market.

Therefore, it is clear that the so-called automatic mechanical civil engineering major was destined to be a flashy and impractical major from the beginning. It belongs to the confusing operations of rich people; it is truly planting land with a golden hoe.

It's no wonder that this major is so deserted; there are hardly any people signing up. Plus, Spider Teacher has very high standards and is so picky about enrollment. It would be strange if this major could become popular.

Of course, Dorothy clearly doesn't belong to the kind of witch who has too much money to burn and feels itchy. The reason she chose this major is entirely because her brain circuit is relatively strange.

She personally likes puppet arts very much, which is related to her profession in her previous life. Although she was a homebody in her previous life, she was not an ordinary homebody, but a technical homebody. Her profession was a figure prototype artist. As for how the technology is?

Hehehe... barely considered to have achieved something. It's just that because the works under her hands were full of vitality, as if they were living things, she was nicknamed "Hand of God," "Nuwa Incarnate," "Father of the Nation"... Every time a new work went online, she could harvest a full floor of knees amidst the shouts of "Big shot is awesome."

Small achievements, not worth mentioning.

And as a professional maker of plastic little people, even if she has traveled through time now, this traditional craft naturally cannot be lost. After all, in her previous life, she could only make "wives" that couldn't move, but in this life, she can make the "wives" under her hands move. She is determined to learn this puppet art.

Then, in this way, the so-called puppet cost is out of the question. After all, she will eventually make a bunch of beautiful girl puppet "wives" anyway.

It's just that she could rely on making figures to support herself in her previous life, and her little life was very comfortable, but in this life, that old craft can't support her.

After all, the previous life was just an ordinary world. As long as the figures were made beautiful enough, the sponsors would pay for love. But in the Witch World, everyone is a strength-party. If you make a bunch of beautiful girl puppet vases that are only good-looking, then just wait to have them all smashed in your hands.

And in her previous life, she was an orphan homebody. As long as one person was full, the whole family wouldn't be hungry, and living expenses weren't high. But in this life, a witch's expenses are not just eating and drinking; money has to be spent everywhere. Therefore, for the sake of her livelihood, she can only consider changing careers.

It's just that she is relatively nostalgic and doesn't really want to abandon her old craft like this. So, Dorothy's original planned future career was a supplier for a circus puppet theater. After all, a circus wouldn't mind if her puppets were all vases.

For this, Dorothy also seriously conducted a market research on the Mana Web to study the current situation of puppet shows in the Witch World.

It's just that the answer she got made her a bit pessimistic.

In the non-magical world of her previous life, circuses were very popular, but in a magical world, circuses are really hard to mix in. The living standards of those sisters are just enough to get enough food and clothing, and it is estimated that there is no oil or water to fish.

Currently, the most popular young lady in the puppet show column on the Mana Web, that "Phantom of the Opera," only has a million fans. She can barely be considered a small internet celebrity. And looking at the barrage, those fans following this young lady are not for watching puppet shows at all. Those lecherous people are simply craving the young lady's nice voice.

Hmm, don't ask Dorothy how she knows, because she craves it too.

She is a die-hard fan of Phantom young lady, the first follower. When she was doing market research back then, she happened to catch up with the young lady just starting to live stream. If it weren't for Dorothy checking the rooms one by one, she might not have been able to find that unpopular live stream room in the thousands of live stream rooms on the Mana Web.

But to be honest, the puppet show that Phantom young lady live streams is really boring. The puppets are old and ugly, stiff and dull, and the stories performed are all the same old ones. They are standard children's fairy tales. It would be a ghost if this could become popular.

At first, Dorothy took a look and was ready to skip it directly, but there was no way. Who let the young lady speak just when she wanted to quit?

Hmm, really, Phantom young lady's voice is really not a question of whether it sounds good or not. She is really that kind—the kind that is hard to describe.

Her voice line sounds like an angel at first hearing, holy and moving. Once heard, it makes people feel as if they have ascended to heaven, and their mood calms down unconsciously.

But after careful reflection, it seems that the angel is actually disguised by a demon. Under that holiness is endless charm and enchantment, making you scratch your heart, very addictive. At night, your head is full of the young lady's voice, and then if you don't listen for a day, your whole body is uncomfortable.

It is a pity that Dorothy's mental attribute is S, and her resistance is too high, so she can't fully experience what it feels like to be charmed by the young lady's voice.

However, this did not prevent her from clicking follow on the spot, becoming the first fan of this Phantom of the Opera young lady, and later skillfully acting as a promoter, using her vests all over the Mana Web to start a wave of recommendations, making the young lady gain a million fans overnight.

Well, it can be said that more than half of the young lady's million fans were pulled by her. This small internet celebrity was brought up by Dorothy single-handedly.

Sigh, every time she thinks of this, Dorothy has a mysterious sense of pride like an old father in her heart.

But this also reflects from the side how bad the puppet show market is. Even a young lady with such a nice voice couldn't lead it. Really, if that Phantom young lady gave up her bad puppet show and went to the music section next door to sing, she could have over 100 million fans in minutes.

In short, Dorothy's original planned path as a circus supplier is not going to work. And it just so happened that at that time, she found this automatic mechanical civil engineering major on the Mana Web. The major introduction simply and directly wrote a sentence: "Use puppet skills to build houses."

This immediately made the Home Witch overjoyed, shouting that this is the major she has been dreaming of.

After all, although the nickname is "Father of the Nation," is Dorothy pinching daughters? Those are actually her "wives." If it weren't for the love poured into the beautiful girls, how could the figures under her hands be so full of vitality, exquisite as if they were about to come alive?

But there was no way in her previous life. After all, she always had to eat. As a homebody, it was impossible to work for others, and she didn't know how to do business, so she could only rely on that hand-pinching craft to barely maintain her life.

But in this life, it is impossible for her to starve to death anyway, so why bother to wear a hat for herself? She can completely work hard to get rich with her wives.

Hmm, who stipulated that beautiful girl wives, besides being used for licking and appreciation, cannot work with her?

Shouldn't a real couple go through thick and thin together? Instead of keeping a bunch of puppet wives who can only be looked at as vases at home, she might as well take her wives to move bricks and support the family.

So, let's go move bricks together, my puppet wives.

It was precisely out of such a belief that Dorothy applied for this major without hesitation.

Hmm, shouldn't a family be so neat and tidy?

Thinking that in the future, she would be followed by a group of wives-type construction puppets who are charming but have strength one after another, Dorothy felt very cool.

Such puppet wives are good wives. They are both pleasing to the eye and can move bricks to support the family. They can also protect themselves when encountering danger. After all, think about it, a girlfriend with the arm strength of a heavy crane—is it full of a sense of security?

So, Teacher, let's stop talking nonsense. Quickly teach me how to make a puppet as realistic as your incarnation. I came here just to learn this.

The Home Witch stared burning at the Spider Teacher who was selling secrets in front of her, feeling very anxious in her heart.

It's a pity that she is anxious, but Spider Teacher is no longer anxious. Noerose just nodded at Dorothy's answer, and then looked at Audrey beside her.

Hmm, she finally remembered that this is her own niece.

It's a pity that this niece is useless even if she gives her a chance.

"I'm the same as Senior Sister."

The little fox who doesn't have a second aunt expressed that she firmly follows Senior Sister's point of view, just short of saying "Me too."

Spider Teacher: "......"

Tsk, this little niece is hopeless. How come she doesn't even have any personal ideas? Sure enough, disciples are better.

At the moment, Noerose showed a smile and began to explain to her precious disciple.

"Dorothy, your idea is right but also wrong. Although what I originally prepared to teach outsiders is the technology of commanding puppets to build houses that you mentioned, but after all, you are my direct disciple now, so naturally you cannot just learn those things that fool people. Teacher will pass on my unique secret skills at the bottom of the box to you."

"Then, announcing the answer: the true meaning of so-called automatic mechanical civil engineering actually doesn't need to be separated, but combines the two together. The final product is both an automated mechanical puppet and a civil engineering building as a finished product."

"The puppet is the building, and the building is the puppet. This is my puppet art, which I call Fortress Puppet Art."

After saying this triumphantly, Spider Teacher's desire to show off also rose, and she directly started to expose herself.

"Hmm, let you open your eyes. For example, this small courtyard you are in now—do you think this is a building? Wrong, actually this is my puppet. The outer small courtyard is just a disguise. Its true form is like this."

Spider Teacher took out a small courtyard model from her side, and then she snapped her fingers. Immediately, the model courtyard moved. Countless gear structures began to roll and deform. The original small courtyard changed beyond recognition in the blink of an eye, leaving only a huge steel spider puppet in place.

"See? This is the mobile fortress form. How about it? Is it very cool? Who said that a building must be fixed in place and cannot move? I just like the feeling of the home following wherever I go."

The true homebody Spider Teacher said so proudly.

Dorothy: "....."

Ah, this—how come this is not quite the same as what I imagined?

The Home Witch widened her eyes, looking at this miniature steel spider fortress in front of her, only feeling that she had been greatly deceived.

Spider Teacher, how can you be so pit-like? I want to report you for hanging a sheep's head and selling dog meat.

Sob sob sob, I really just wanted to eat some dog meat. My beautiful girl puppet construction team is gone just like that.

But having said that, purely in terms of strength and technical content, what Spider Teacher is selling is not dog meat, but dragon meat.

Comparing her construction philosophy, it is simply that you are already a mature house; you should learn to build yourself out.

Isn't this building a building with the method of refining intelligent puppets?

Tsk, this is really a bold and ghostly idea. After all, the combat puppets of ordinary puppet masters are limited by their body size. No matter how many weapons are loaded, the power is actually just like that. But Teacher, you this....

Dorothy couldn't help but think about her teacher, who is invincible at home, going to communicate puppet technology with others. Others boast about how powerful their puppets are, and then ask Teacher about her puppets. Teacher then calmly says, "You are already on my puppet now," and then amidst the shaking of the earth, a huge mobile fortress suddenly appears.....

Damn, so your title of "Mobile Disaster Fortress" came from this.

Dorothy felt complicated for a while.

She is looking at the spider fortress model in front of her now, only feeling that her eyes are dark.

Damn it, who wants to play this? This thing is much more money-burning than my puppet wives, okay? Is a fortress something I can afford to play with?

..... The Home Witch is in poverty......
