Chapter 62: Type DX-II Steam Energy Bar

"Just routine maintenance."

Brenna sat in front of the Bionic Doll, reinstalling those disassembled parts one by one.

Yun Mu stood behind her, watching the scene before her with great interest.

"Why does Miss Brenna study this kind of thing?" she asked with some curiosity.

"Interest," Brenna replied without turning her head.

She stared for a while longer, until Brenna suddenly spoke: "If you have the leisure to watch me here, you might as well go upstairs and practice with Elena."

"Sorry, I got a bit too absorbed in watching."

Hearing Brenna's words, Yun Mu finally came back to her senses, and finally remembered what she had actually come to the Frost Bank to do.

However, this couldn't be blamed on her; after all, who could refuse a white-haired beautiful young girl installing mechanical gears with such a serious expression?

"Then I'll go train first?" She walked toward the stairs in the room and waved at Brenna.

"Go ahead," the other said, looking down at the mechanism on the doll's chest.

It wasn't until after Yun Mu left that she, with slightly reddened ears, lifted her head.

"What is there to look at on me?" she muttered softly, twisting a strand of hair by her ear.

On the other side, Yun Mu arrived in the familiar room on the second floor, where Elena was standing in the room waiting for her arrival, just as usual.

"Let's begin."

The other party was clearly not a talkative person, after Yun Mu changed into dance shoes and a long dress.

Elena began to teach her how to walk as elegantly as a noble while wearing high heels and a long dress.

Perhaps because yesterday's dance practice really had an effect, Yun Mu unexpectedly felt that walking didn't seem as difficult as she had imagined.

This feeling was particularly obvious after triggering the Accelerated Eureka of the 【Language Spreader】 title.

However, what made her somewhat puzzled was that even though she felt she had practiced very well, she still hadn't gained any new skills.

Perhaps it was because this little bit of content was not enough to gather the elements required for a skill?

She thought to herself.

"Let's stop here for today."

Two hours later, Elena said, looking at Yun Mu, who was already walking with a decent form.

She took an exquisite, thick-skinned book from a table in the corner of the room and handed it to her:

"Read this book more, and try practicing conversation tomorrow night."

"This is..."

Yun Mu took the book from the other's hand; on the cover of the book was a silhouette of a pink-haired woman wearing a formal dress and holding a folding fan.

And above the silhouette, the words "The Art of Elegant Communication and Conversation: Daily Etiquette for Various Occasions" were written.

"The name is so long," she complained first after reading the book's title.

"Heh."

Yun Mu felt as if she saw Elena chuckle, yet when she focused her attention on the other party, she found that her expression hadn't changed at all.

"Keep it up," Elena said softly, her figure instantly turning into shadow and dissipating in the room.

After the other party disappeared, Yun Mu could only change back into her original clothes and, clutching the book, go to the first-floor lobby of the Frost Bank.

However, strangely, Brenna had also disappeared.

In the lobby, only the lonely Bionic Doll could be seen sitting on the ground, not yet activated.

She stood in the center of the lobby and waited for a while, and soon saw Brenna walking over holding an orange-yellow cylinder.

"You finished your practice?" Brenna asked after noticing her.

"Mm," she nodded.

"What is that in your hand?" she asked, looking at the orange-yellow cylinder in Brenna's hand with some curiosity.

"This?" Brenna shook the cylinder in her hand, and while walking toward the Bionic Doll, said: "This is a DX-II type Steam Energy Bar; it has high-pressure Strong Burning Liquid sealed inside, which can maintain the Bionic Doll's activity for a week."

What kind of Black Technology is this again?

Yun Mu raised an eyebrow, watching quietly as Brenna inserted this Steam Energy Bar into the Steam Core behind the Bionic Doll.

"What is Strong Burning Liquid?" she couldn't help but ask.

She remembered that when she first transmigrated to this world, the Energy Tower mentioned in the newspaper seemed to use this thing as an energy source.

"Strong Burning Liquid is a type of mixed liquid invented by the gnomes. Its combustion efficiency is extremely high. In the high-pressure environment of a Supercritical Boiler, it can erupt with power far exceeding ordinary steam units."

"Then this thing shouldn't count as steam technology anymore, right?"

"How does it not count?" Brenna put her hands on her hips and said: "Could it be that the gas released by a mixed liquid cannot be called steam?"

"Uh, this..."

Yun Mu. exe has stopped responding.

Ignoring Yun Mu, who had fallen into deep thought, Brenna reinstalled the Bionic Doll's outer shell, then gently pressed the start button behind the Bionic Doll's neck.

"FS-III type is starting up. First-time startup, loading is relatively slow, please wait..."

"First-time startup?"

Yun Mu, whose attention had been drawn by the Bionic Doll's movement, couldn't help but ask.

"It had been running for too long before and accumulated too much junk information, so I just cleared her core," Brenna glanced at her and said.

"Got it, the memory exploded, so you had to restore factory settings," Yun Mu nodded.

"Hm?"

Brenna looked at her with surprise, not expecting her to understand.

It seemed to be the same when she first saw the Bionic Doll; Yun Mu had said something about a mechanical doll, and this time another phrase about memory and restoring factory settings popped out.

How does this person have so many strange, yet very fitting, terms in her head?

Brenna shut down the Bionic Doll.

"Why did you turn it off?" Yun Mu asked, somewhat puzzled upon seeing this.

"I was just testing whether it could start up normally; of course I have to turn it off after the test is done," Brenna said, looking at her speechlessly.

"If you have nothing else to do, you should hurry back," she said.

That was true; she had better hurry home, as she still had to arrange the furniture tomorrow morning.

Thinking of this, Yun Mu said goodbye to Brenna and then left Frost Bank.

After Yun Mu left, Brenna looked at the empty space beside her and asked, "How is her training going?"

"The speed is quite fast," Elena said, appearing from the Shadow.

After a pause, she added, "It should be in time before the 20th."

"The 20th."

Brenna chuckled.

"If only we could really wait peacefully until the 20th."

Changing the subject, she asked with a serious expression, "Has the culprit of that Dried Corpse Murder Case still not been found?"

"Apologies."

Elena lowered her head and said in a low voice, "The traces of that culprit have all been hidden by some unknown power; even Ai Yi cannot divine her location."

"Then, are there any leads on what happened on Oak Street the day before yesterday?"

"It has been confirmed to be the work of the Dried Corpse Murder Case culprit."

"What about the mutated animals in the sewers?"

"The specific source can no longer be investigated; it can only be confirmed that it spreads through wounds and bodily fluids. The Guard Hall has currently fully sealed off the sewer areas and is gradually culling the creatures in the sewers."

"Sigh." Brenna sighed with a headache, then ordered, "Have the Mecha Unit and the Automatic Machine Soldiers move out as well; those metal lumps aren't afraid of being infected."

"Yes!"

PS: The Mecha Unit and the Automatic Machine Soldiers are the Guard Hall's true violent apparatus.

The units, driven by Steam Cores and DX-I type steam energy rods, possess extraordinarily powerful strength, and at the same time, they can carry a large number of Steam Pumps and gunpowder ammunition to form dense barrage nets, capable of strangling any Transcendental below the Fifth Rank Champion level!
