"So your name is Jenny, the artisan's daughter..."
After talking for a while, Sulu took off his hat: "Then... I should leave."
"No, please wait, Mr. Turing!"
Jenny hurriedly said: "There are so many monsters of that kind? And... the Extraordinary of the Church, I mean... extraordinary power, what is it?"
"You're curious about them?"
Sulu stopped in his tracks, with playfulness in his eyes.
Jenny took a deep breath: "Yes, I am very curious about everything unknown!"
"Abnormal things, that is, monsters and some mysterious items, do exist in this world, and human beings, who have mastered extraordinary power, call them 'saints'...'Saints' are marked by stigmata, and the main routes are' 'Cat', 'Eagle', 'Wolf', 'Griffin', 'Spider' and more…”
Sulu smiled, and said to Jenny: "You must want to ask how to obtain extraordinary power. It is obviously in the hands of other major forces... Each force has a different path. The Stigmata is famous, and the local Natural Church is good at the Stigmata of the Griffon, the Stigmata of the Cat... and in some evil god sects, there are some very weird routes of the Stigmata, I don't know Wouldn't recommend you to try that one...”
Although she didn't understand much, Jenny still tried her best to write down every word Sulu said.
Finally, she looked at Sulu and asked excitedly, "Are you... are you a transcendent too?"
"Well..."
Sulu gave a very confusing answer, and the figure disappeared into the darkness.
Watching his leaving back, Jenny breathed out silently, feeling that her goal had changed again.
'Maybe, while becoming a great craftsman, I can also try to become an extraordinary person? The two don't conflict... What exactly is a stigmata, and how can I get it? '
…
Jenny sneaked home and was relieved to find that everything was as usual.
As for a date with a friend, you can only miss the appointment.
Several months passed in a flash.
What happened that night seemed to be suppressed, and no rumors came out, and no one came to the door, so Jenny couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
In a blink of an eye, it was September.
On this day, during dinner, Wick and Mrs. Hailia solemnly called Jenny to them: "Daughter... Recently, the Sealand School of Mechanical Engineering is recruiting students, and we have already signed up for you."
"What?"
Jenny was a little surprised. Of course she had heard of this college and admired it very much, but the tuition fees were quite high: "In terms of tuition fees..."
"You don't have to worry about this, Dad still has some savings."
Will took a sip of beer: "The college not only teaches mechanical knowledge, but also has vocabulary lessons. After three years of study, you can find a good job..."
"Daddy..."
Jenny's eyes were a little moist.
…
Sealand Mechanical University.
Jenny changed into new clothes and sat with her classmates in a spacious and bright classroom, waiting for the start of the first class.
Squeak.
The classroom door was pushed open, and a gentleman in a tuxedo walked in.
He is very young, looking only in his twenties, with deep eyes: "Students, I will be your mechanical teacher... you can call me... Turing!"
Below, Jenny has already covered her mouth.
She never thought that Mr. Turing, who saved her that night, would become her teacher.
Sulu didn't seem to care about her, glanced around, and began to lecture in a loud voice:
"Mechanical... is full of charm. It can bring huge power—steam engine! It can also provide us with computing support, such as the difference engine... You are all my students, I hope you can go further on the road of machinery Far. Next... I'll introduce a simple steam engine that provides crude power to bring water to coal mines... If, I mean if... any of you can perfect it, it will win the world everything!"
With that said, Sulu put out a crude steam engine model.
The class went quickly, and every student took notes carefully.
Although Jenny was attracted by the steam engine, after class, she still gritted her teeth and quickly caught up with Turing: "Teacher..."
"Lucky little girl... is this the second time we've met?"
Sulu smiled.
"Yes, I got you."
Jenny's cheeks were flushed and she was out of breath. She glanced around and quickly lowered her voice: "Can you teach me other aspects of knowledge?"
"About the extraordinary stigmata? No..."
Sulu shook his head: "It's a mechanical question, you are welcome to ask me anytime."
Seeing this, Jenny couldn't help showing disappointment on her face.
…
winter.
The cold wind was blowing, and there was light snow in the sky.
Inside the School of Mechanical Engineering, the teacher's dormitory.
"teacher… "
Jenny knocked on the door and saw Sulu who opened the door: "About last time, I have already designed a sketch for the suggestion of a new steam engine, but there are still a few small problems..."
"Well, come in."
Sulu glanced at her and nodded.
Immediately Jenny flashed into the house and crouched by the wood-burning fireplace.
"I want to correct it."
Sulu went with her, took the homework brought by Jenny, sat down at the desk, and prepared to revise.
As soon as Jenny turned her gaze, she landed on the bookshelf in the study.
Although this teacher never taught her supernatural knowledge, she did not forbid her to look at the books in the study.
In this way, Jenny has learned something about that mysterious world.
Although, in order to get a chance, he is also racking his brains to design a new steam engine, so as to create an excuse to visit.
She came to the edge of the bookcase, pulled out a copy of "Secrets of Nature" very familiarly, and started to get up.
"... The cat's stigmata are mainly light and agile. The first stigmata provides an agility bonus. It is called 'the grace of the cat' by the outside world. It endows the saint with excellent balance and amazing speed..."
Behind the pages, there is a sketch of the first stigmata, which looks like an abstract black cat.
"The second stigmata, named 'Quick Strike Claws', allows saints to mutate their hands and gain amazing lethality..."
The illustration of the stigmata at the back is a pair of cat's claws, which can just match the previous black cat stigmata.
"All stigmata need potions or ritual additions, starting from the potion of 'Cat's Elegance' to the potion of 'Quick Attack Claw', all of which are in the hands of the Holy See... It is almost impossible for outsiders to obtain them. And all the holy marks Mark, at a later stage, will it be combined into a real monster? Is it also the beginning of a qualitative change in the strength of 'saints'?"
Jenny secretly slandered, while putting down the book, hoping to find a first-order potion formula.
"Ahem!"
At this time, Sulu coughed suddenly: "Jenny."
"Teacher..." Jenny returned to the desk helplessly, listening to Sulu's evaluation of her design.
