Lu Ming took a deep breath, trying his best to break free from his nervous emotions.
He raised his head and gazed at the vast, boundless sky. "What do you want? Why have you been watching me?" Lu Ming looked seriously at the heavenly dao consciousness of this world.
"Little friend, there is no need to be nervous! If I wanted to harm you, I could have easily killed you back when your soul tore through space and fell into my world. Why would I wait until now?"
Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but he still looked at the heavenly dao consciousness warily. "Then why have you been watching me? Is it just because I am an outsider from beyond this world?"
"No, I am simply curious about you! When you first crossed over, you were just like any other soul, nothing special.
Even your growth process was quite ordinary—until you started taking out technological blueprints that far exceed this era, and until now, when you can communicate with me. You are the first.
I want to know how you obtained those gadgets, and why you disappear from my world every night."
Lu Ming looked at this peeping Heavenly Dao with a face full of black lines! This bastard!!! Peeping on me all day long and wanting to know my secrets, it's truly infuriating.
Without a word, Lu Ming suddenly vanished from in front of Lu Yue. Using a conceptual-level transformation, he manifested as a Heavenly Dao. Following the Heaven and Earth Sympathy, he found the space where the Heavenly Dao resided and barged in.
The stunned Heavenly Dao watched as a Lu Ming, who looked exactly like itself, broke in.
Taking advantage of its daze, Lu Ming stepped forward and punched the Heavenly Dao, followed by a series of wild, flailing punches raining down on it.
Recovering its senses, the Heavenly Dao threw dignity to the wind and lunged at Lu Ming, biting him.
The two Heavenly Daos scuffled in this space. Neither used any world-shaking skills or moves; they simply brawled with wild, clumsy punches.
The Heavenly Dao also knew that the current Lu Ming possessed the exact same abilities and authority. If they truly fought, this world would have to be reshaped.
Helpless, the Heavenly Dao could only scuffle with Lu Ming, letting him vent his pent-up anger.
Lu Ming cursed as he fought, "You damn voyeur, peeping on me all day long. It's one thing if I didn't know, but you actually jumped out to show off to me! Seriously!!!"
The Heavenly Dao was displeased to hear this. "Who are you calling a voyeur!
All living beings live upon my body, and all things are within my control. This is an inherent authority.
You are the same as me now; surely you can feel it! Besides, I only looked at you a few extra times!
Was it really necessary to come up here and hit me!!!"
Lu Ming's hands paused for a moment, then he continued hitting the Heavenly Dao. "Then what's the meaning of trying to probe my secrets? Were you planning to figure out my background and then take me out?"
"Please, you're a variable from outside the world. Any Heavenly Dao would be curious! And I haven't even harmed you, yet you came up and gave me a beating," the Heavenly Dao said.
Now, Lu Ming completely stopped his movements. "Then why didn't you say so earlier! You made me beat you up for nothing," Lu Ming said shamelessly.
Hearing Lu Ming's 'the villain suing his victim' act, the Heavenly Dao became even more annoyed. It stepped forward, grabbed Lu Ming, and started fighting back.
The two scuffled for a long time before finally sitting down to have a proper talk.
The Heavenly Dao looked at Lu Ming. "By the way, which Heavenly Dao big shot gave you those gadgets? They can actually be used within the rules of another world.
Unlike the items from our world, which can only be used within the range of my world's influence. They're completely useless in other worlds."
Lu Ming looked at the Heavenly Dao and said skeptically, "Aren't these gadgets the crystallization of human wisdom?"
The Heavenly Dao stared at Lu Ming as if looking at a fool. "Are you stupid? How many years has it been since the 21st century?
No matter how much technology explodes, it's impossible to suddenly create these heaven-defying gadgets."
Lu Ming was stunned. He had never thought about it when watching Doraemon before, but thinking about it now, it was indeed the case.
To achieve technological wisdom comparable to a god-level civilization's accumulation of millions or tens of millions of years in less than 200 years was indeed inconceivable.
"So you're saying those gadgets contain part of your authority." Lu Ming said with certainty.
The Heavenly Dao said as a matter of course, "Is that not allowed? Letting humans manage themselves... I think the Time Patrol is doing a pretty good job!"
"Alright, alright, stop talking about me. Tell me, what's the deal with your gadgets?" the Heavenly Dao asked impatiently.
"The gadgets you're talking about were all made by me. They weren't given to me by anyone else," Lu Ming said seriously.
The Heavenly Dao looked at Lu Ming, stammering, "What did you say! You made all of those yourself?"
Lu Ming nodded very seriously. "It should be my talent. No matter what I want to make, it seems like I can succeed."
The Heavenly Dao stared blankly at Lu Ming. This talent of yours is even more overpowered than my authority. No wonder I got beaten up by you!!!
Lu Ming chatted with this guileless Heavenly Dao for a long time before feeling relieved enough to go home. As expected of a Heavenly Dao from a child-oriented work; even its way of thinking was so peculiar!
When Lu Ming returned home, he saw Little Lu Yue waiting nervously at the door. Lu Ming stepped forward slowly and patted her head. "Little Lu Yue, why are you here alone? Are you waiting for me?"
Hearing this, Little Lu Yue nodded vigorously and then threw her arms around Lu Ming.
Looking at Lu Yue, who had been worrying about him, Lu Ming comforted her softly, "Alright, it's okay now. Let's go back."
Lu Ming and Lu Yue returned home and continued to enjoy the peaceful afternoon.
All the conceptual-level gadgets had been manufactured. It was time to find an opportunity to visit another world.
However, his body was too fragile. He had to create a suit of armor to protect himself.
Thinking of this, Lu Ming recalled a genius from a tokusatsu show he had watched in his past life, Kiryu Sento, who could hand-craft Kamen Riders.
And his cool build driver. Lu Ming felt excited just thinking about it.
Returning to the Manufacturing Space, Lu Ming couldn't wait to create the build driver.
Under Lu Ming's yearning thoughts, the production plan for the build driver appeared in his mind.
Looking at the production method for the build driver in his mind, Lu Ming followed the plan. With a wave of his hand, various materials fused together, finally forming the build driver.
Lu Ming impatiently buckled the driver to his waist, only to realize he had forgotten to make the fullbottles.
Lu Ming quickly manufactured the rabbit energy bottle and the tank fullbottle.
"But looking at these two dim bottles, it seems I can't transform."
Lu Ming sighed. "If only there were a device to charge the bottles. If all else fails, I'll just hand-craft a Pandora Box."
Just then, Lu Ming suddenly remembered the charging pile he had made for the bamboo copter not long ago.
