I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 164

Chapter 164

“Huh? Huh? Huh?”

Several question marks popped up above Fang Bai’s head as a projection instantly appeared at the scene of the accident.

The explosion not only blew open the outer walls of the laboratory and the matchbox-like building but even a section of Yi Hao Village’s city wall.

Seeing this scene, Fang Bai’s expression turned serious. He immediately swept his Mental Power across the area and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no casualties besides Ding Shan’s limping foot.

Then, looking at the mess at the scene, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Waving away Bai Qing, Wang Xiong, and others who had rushed over after hearing the commotion, Fang Bai looked at Luo Qing and the others who were walking over covered in dust. He swept his Mental Power over them and realized that these people probably knew what they were doing before the experiment. They had chosen the most remote laboratory and had run far away before starting the experiment.

Looking at Ding Shan limping over, Fang Bai couldn’t help but ask, “What happened to your foot?”

“I accidentally twisted it while running.”

“Oh.”

Fang Bai said flatly, then pointed at the explosion site and asked, “Can someone explain this to me? Who did it? Whose idea was it? Who made the decision?”

Everyone looked at each other. The Mage Apprentices who had come out of the dormitory quickly took a few steps back, leaving the fifteen people in the open.

The fifteen people looked at each other, feeling uneasy. Seeing this, Luo Qing and Ding Shan exchanged glances and immediately stepped forward.

“It was my idea, I made the decision.”

The two spoke in unison, then suddenly looked at each other and said, “Well, actually, it was his idea.”

Both of them stopped mid-sentence, staring at each other in shock.

“Huh???”

“?!”

Fang Bai pointed at the two of them and nodded slightly.

“Alright, it was both of your ideas, right? Anyone else?”

“Me too, I contributed to the idea.”

Li Jun stepped forward. Fang Bai nodded and looked at the rest of the fifteen people.

“What about you?”

Several people in the crowd immediately stepped forward as well. They were the ones who had previously voiced their opinions and had them accepted. Fang Bai nodded upon seeing this.

“Good, good.”

Fang Bai said as he walked towards the remaining Mages, randomly pointing at one of them.

“What about you? Does this have nothing to do with you? Aren’t you part of the same experimental group?”

The Mage Apprentice who was pointed at looked up at Fang Bai with an expression that seemed like he was about to cry. He said somewhat aggrievedly, “I participated in the discussion of the experimental plan, but the suggestions I made weren’t adopted. I don’t have the right to step forward.”

Fang Bai was slightly taken aback. He turned to look at the rest of the people and found that they had similar expressions. He nodded slightly, walked to the front of the group, and pointed at the scene.

“Alright, Luo Qing, Ding Shan, and Li Jun are the leaders. The rest of you participated, right?”

Looking at Fang Bai, everyone felt slightly uneasy. Even Luo Qing and Ding Shan couldn’t help but look at him.

But just as they were about to say something, they heard Fang Bai say, “Ding Shan, Luo Qing, Li Jun, each of you will get six points. The remaining twelve people will get three points each. You will distribute the points according to your internal contributions, and the distribution plan needs to be submitted to me for approval.

The base score is the midline. You need to provide detailed reasons for giving more or less.”

Everyone was stunned, then they saw Fang Bai’s expression suddenly change from gloomy to sunny. He smiled and pointed at the scene.

“A Fireball spell with such power is a result. One point out of the six and one point out of the three, a total of fifteen points come from this result.

As for the remaining thirty-nine points, they come from the fact that there were no casualties.”

The group’s eyes gradually lit up. They had initially thought that they would be criticized, but not only were they not criticized, they were actually given extra points?!

However, at this moment, Ding Shan spoke up, “Hey, Village Chief, Village Chief, my leg hurts… Mmm mmm mmm ah!”

Luo Qing, Li Jun, and the others instantly rushed forward to cover Ding Shan’s mouth and straightened his leg, causing him to cry out in pain.

Fang Bai glanced at Ding Shan.

“A sprained leg doesn’t count.”

Fang Bai turned and walked towards the damaged city wall. At this time, Luo Qing, ignoring Ding Shan who was starting to roll his eyes, asked, “Hey, Village Chief, Village Chief, is six points considered a lot or a little?

What level does it correspond to?”

Fang Bai paused his steps towards the city wall, turned back to look at him, and said flatly, “It’s neither a lot nor a little. Points don’t mean anything, ability is fundamental.

I’m just telling you that achieving results might earn you one point, and it doesn’t matter if you cause an accident, you won’t lose points.

But if you cause any casualties, you’ll directly lose five points.”

After finishing his words, Fang Bai walked straight towards the damaged city wall.

The thick city wall wasn’t severely damaged, only a large crater had been blasted out of it.

Fang Bai used the Stone Wall Spell to fill the crater and then turned back to repair the damaged laboratory and the outer walls of the building one by one.

During the repair process, looking at Ding Shan who was limping, and Luo Qing and the others who were still in a sorry state despite not being injured, he recalled an accident he had encountered during a previous experiment. He suddenly understood why the Projection Spell was recorded in the manuscript and why it was recorded so early.

It was simply to save the Mage’s life during experiments.

There’s no Mage in the world who doesn’t have accidents during experiments.

He curled his lip.

Fortunately, Ding Shan was a chemistry teacher and had basic laboratory safety awareness, so there were no casualties.

If they had encountered someone a little more careless, it would have been a case of the late emperor’s enterprise collapsing halfway.

“But then again, I previously thought that these Mage Apprentices didn’t have much practical experience, so I didn’t consider this aspect much.

I didn’t expect them to each come up with something.”

Fang Bai repaired the walls and reinforced the laboratory while using his Mental Power to browse through the information stored in his spell slots.

He found that not only Luo Qing and Ding Shan’s experimental group, but two other experimental groups, even if they didn’t produce results, at least their experiments were indeed quite impressive.

“To ensure the safety and survival rate of Mage Apprentices during experiments and maintain their creativity and freedom,

the Projection Spell is definitely a must.

Otherwise, no matter how many safety measures there are, as long as the main body is nearby, many risky experiments may not be carried out due to concerns. The Projection Spell doesn’t have this problem.

Even if the entire laboratory explodes, it’s just a few projections, no big deal.

Besides that, there’s also…”

Fang Bai turned to look at the nearby living area. The explosion had obviously woken up quite a few people.

Waking them up was a small matter.

Fortunately, Luo Qing and the others were self-aware enough to choose a laboratory far away from the dormitory area and the main living area, close to the edge of the village wall.

Fortunately, the Fireball was only a One-Ring Spell with relatively low power.
