Chapter 205: The All-Rounder Pantos

Li Er did not speak, merely nodding slightly to signal.

Upon hearing this voice, Chu Shuangshuang was immediately struck by a sense of familiarity; it sounded very much like the voice of her nephew, Zhou Chu.

But then she thought, her A-Chu should be at university right now, so how could he be dressed like this and acting as a headquarters chief?

Moreover, as Grand Commander of the Exorcism Army, Long Aofei would not bring him to the Exorcism Army Headquarters to mess around.

However, seeing the female chief standing beside Zhou Chu, judging by her height and figure, the more she looked, the more she resembled Zhou Li.

Could it be that there are two people in the headquarters whose height difference and figures are so identical to Zhou Chu and Zhou Li standing together?

Although Chu Shuangshuang's heart was full of doubts, she dared not question what Long Aofei had said, so she stopped thinking about it.

After all, there are plenty of people with similar figures and height differences; perhaps it was just a coincidence.

Chu Shuangshuang steadied herself, refocused her attention on the training team members, and turned back to the front of the squad to continue directing the training in an orderly manner.

Seeing that Chu Shuangshuang seemed to have sensed something, Zhou Chu immediately felt that he shouldn't have spoken; otherwise, this secret might be exposed by his one unintentional act.

Fortunately, Chu Shuangshuang still believed it, which allowed Zhou Chu to set his slightly hanging heart at ease.

It seems that in the future, it is better to pretend to be cold and aloof in front of acquaintances.

Aren't most chiefs the type who speak little?

Subsequently, led by Long Aofei, Zhou Chu visited the Exorcism Army's combat command center, military dormitories, and other places.

After the tour, it was almost time for lunch.

Given their identities, Long Aofei did not let Zhou Chu and Li Er eat in the Exorcism Army cafeteria, but instead sent them back to school directly on his private plane.

Zhou Chu arrived just in time for the lunch hour and had his meal in the school cafeteria.

Moreover, there was a mechanical class this afternoon; after finishing this class, this half-semester of university life would temporarily come to an end.

In the afternoon, in a classroom of the Mechanical Department in the Experimental Building of the Teaching Area.

As usual, in the large lecture hall, only Zhou Chu and Li Er were sitting as students.

On the podium, Zheng Youwang was writing furiously on the blackboard in front of him, filling an entire board with complex formulas.

Then he pointed to a complex image on the PPT and said, "To let you grasp it more intuitively, what I just wrote on the blackboard is the deduction of this mechanical structure."

What gave Zhou Chu the biggest headache were these complex formulas and diagrams that were equivalent to physics.

To put it bluntly, the formulas and diagrams recognized him, but he did not recognize them.

But fortunately, with Li Er's help, Zhou Chu quickly gained an extremely profound understanding of these formulas and diagrams in his mind.

During this half-semester of mechanical classes, Zheng Youwang conducted the course in a way that went from the shallow to the deep; although it was still stuck on the most superficial knowledge of mechanics, for Zhou Chu, it was definitely the most complex and difficult course he had ever encountered in his life.

What Zhou Chu did not expect most was that after Lich King Pantos secretly listened to a few classes, he showed disdain for what Zheng Youwang was teaching.

To him, what Zheng Youwang was teaching was the most basic introductory knowledge of mechanics.

After all, Pantos's previous host was a mechanic of the Spirit Energy Clan, and he had inherited all the knowledge of this mechanic.

To be precise, if he were not the Lich King, he would definitely have the ability to be a teacher in the Mechanical Department.

His understanding of mechanics was definitely more than what Zheng Youwang knew.

Returning to the dormitory after class, Zhou Chu extended his consciousness into his Life Soul Artifact and arrived at the Secret Magic Research Institute where Pantos was located.

It could be seen that this Lich King, who was nearly obsessed with research, had already dismantled those undead mechs into large and small components, while also carefully observing something on a Psionic Core with a magnifying glass.

At the same time, Zhou Chu also saw several devices that looked like Bellows Furnaces standing not far away, with purple flames burning inside.

At this moment, on conveyor belts, pieces of Soul Crystal Raw Stone were being continuously sent into the Bellows Furnaces, and under the discharge ports of the furnaces, dozens of Soul Crystals were impressively placed.

Zhou Chu's eyes lit up instantly.

Pantos was actually refining Soul Crystals, and the Bellows Furnaces in front of him were the devices used to refine Soul Crystal Raw Stone.

Seeing Zhou Chu arrive at the research lab, Pantos hurriedly put down his work and elegantly performed an aristocratic salute to Zhou Chu: "Welcome, Master. Your arrival makes the entire research lab shine..."

Zhou Chu hurriedly interrupted him and couldn't help but ask: "Little Pan, I didn't expect you to be able to refine Soul Crystals?"

Pantos nodded slightly and said: "Master, you may not know, but my host from three lives ago was a craftsman of the Elf race, so I have long since mastered the craft of refining Soul Crystal ore."

Hearing the Lich King's explanation, Zhou Chu immediately understood.

So that was it.

Every time the Lich King inhabited a body, he would inherit everything within that body.

Zhou Chu had originally asked the Military Department to try every means to find technicians who could refine Soul Crystal ore across the country, never expecting that this technician was right on his own person.

Following that, Pantos even counted on his fingers, listing a whole bunch of professions of the people he had once inhabited, such as Blacksmith, Alchemist, Mage, Pharmacist, and so on.

But he had one regret from beginning to end, which was that he had never inhabited an Inscriptionist who could make Skill Scrolls.

This was also the reason why he had been unable to create a skill for Zhou Chu for a long time.

However, even so, it made Zhou Chu feel secretly thrilled.

A treasure like this had been hidden by his side all along, yet he was completely unaware of it.

It could be said that Pantos at this time was an all-around skilled craftsman; relying on his skills, no matter what other technical fields he wanted to dabble in later, he could receive great assistance.

If he had known earlier that Pantos possessed so many skills, he would have changed his request when he made it to Wu Guangzhou at that time.

It's just that he didn't know if so many Soul Crystal Raw Stones could refine 1,000 Soul Crystals.

So Zhou Chu asked Pantos about it.

Pantos pondered for a moment in his heart, then shook his head with some regret: "Master, refining high-purity Soul Crystals requires the energy from a large amount of raw stones to ensure the intensity of the furnace fire."

"According to my rough calculations, while ensuring the intensity of the furnace fire, and also ensuring the speed of refining and the yield rate, these raw stones are probably not enough."

"However, I can also fuse those Soul Fragments into Soul Crystals; about ten fragments can be fused into one Soul Crystal, and there is almost no loss."
