Chapter 180: 179. Do you think I look like a nerd?

Tang Shu put down her phone and threw herself back into the work of revising the design diagrams.

Wen Nuan, who was messing with a few components behind her, saw that she had finished her call and lifted her head.

"Was that a call from your agent?"

"Yeah, it’s quite funny, isn’t it?"

"You’re really something, you know. I saw the news online too, and I must say, it’s truly spectacular."

Hearing Wen Nuan’s comment, Tang Shu was surprised and turned to look at her for a moment.

"A researcher like you follows entertainment gossip? You seem quite busy all day long."

Although she only came here once a week, judging both by the irregular schedules of everyone in the lab and by the progress of the project, it was no easy job.

That she still had time for gossip despite such a challenging project was amazing.

Wen Nuan laughed, setting down the model that had taken shape in her hands, "Do I look like a bookworm to you?"

"Not in the least."

Not only did she not look like a bookworm, but she was also sharper than anyone else.

This kind of sharpness referred to being well-versed in the ways of the world, which was the exact opposite of those with high educational degrees who spent their days immersed in the lab.

Tang Shu had seen many such highly educated researchers at Cloudscape Pharma, most of whom were lost in their research, paying no attention to external affairs, or rather, they no longer had the energy or interest to care.

However, Wen Nuan was different.

After spending so much time together, the four words that best described her to Tang Shu were ’unfathomably profound and mysterious’.

Although in front of Tang Shu she only showed her talent in mechanics, Tang Shu knew that if it came to physical skills, the other party would certainly be a master of various kinds.

Without Inner Strength, yet she often gave off a very strong sense of oppression.

This feeling was even stronger than when Tang Shu had encountered a few Poachers deep in the forest; they should belong to the same category of people.

The Dark ones of this world, or perhaps, the Protectors.

Wen Nuan passed the model to her, "Take a look at this first. I always feel that the weight on both sides is a bit heavy. If we want to make it lighter, we might have to switch to Alloy Material."

Tang Shu nodded and took it, but then Wen Nuan’s tone shifted.

"I have a friend who’s also in your circle and knows a bit about the situation. But even for an outsider, it would be hard not to click on a push notification about you, right?"

Her words were clearly tinged with banter.

Helpless, Tang Shu chuckled. Even when she had once stood at the forefront of the young ladies from the prestigious families, discussed by many citizens, she had never experienced being besmirched so frequently as she did now.

It really was... a novel experience.

"I’m indeed flattered by Team Leader Wen’s concern. There’s no issue with the design, but I’m not too knowledgeable about Alloy Materials. Do you think it’s too heavy?"

"Yes, it’s already exceeding the normal load range. If we use it for production, it will significantly increase the costs."

"Maybe... we could make some changes to the internal structure?"

Tang Shu’s hands skillfully dismantled the assembled model, revealing the intricate mechanism design inside.

Wen Nuan immediately perked up, her right hand propelling her off the desk in a single leap, and in the next instant, she appeared beside Tang Shu.

"How would you change it?"

Tang Shu glanced indifferently at where Wen Nuan had just taken support, "The force generated by the spring could be replaced with another type of compression. I’ll draw it for you."

This design was very similar to one method of launching hidden weapons employed by the Tang Sect.

The two of them discussed the model for the entire morning, and it was not until nearly midday that they finally settled on a design.
