725: Chapter 72 Congratulations

Lin Boyuan's pupils constricted slightly.

With this single skill, he surpassed over ninety percent of the embroiderers in the Lin family.

A piece of tightly stretched plain white silk was presented beneath the embroidery needle.

"tiangong no. 1" began its performance.

The needle tip descended, then lifted.

No pattern, no draft.

The mechanical arm's movements were so fast they created afterimages; countless strands of differently colored silk threads intertwined and danced in the air, resembling a splendid rain of light.

In the observation room, everyone held their breath.

What they saw was not a cold machine at work.

It was an unparalleled master, unleashing his inspiration.

The needlework was sometimes smooth as a mirror, sometimes fine as hair, and sometimes alternating between solid and void, possessing a hazy, impressionistic quality.

Lin Boyuan's hands, without anyone noticing when, had already gripped the railing of the observation window tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He recognized them.

Random Stitch Embroidery, Flat Stitch Embroidery, Void-Solid Embroidery, Rolling Stitch...

There were even several techniques he had only seen in ancient texts—methods long lost!

This was impossible!

How could an AI possibly understand these?

It was even adjusting the combination of stitching techniques on the fly, based on the artistic conception of the embroidery design!

Ten minutes later, all the mechanical arms suddenly stopped and retracted.

On the piece of plain white silk appeared a lifelike 'Phoenix Piercing the Peony'.

The phoenix's wings shimmered with iridescent light under the illumination, every detail of each feather clearly visible, as if it were about to spread its wings and soar in the next second.

And the peony, with its layered petals, looked exquisitely beautiful, as if one could smell its fragrance.

The entire piece boasted a grand composition, elegant coloring, and vibrant spirit.

What made Lin Boyuan's scalp tingle the most were the phoenix's eyes.

Within them was a spirit.

A spirit of life and art that could not be described in words!

This was not imitation.

This was re-creation!

Lin Zhiyao was completely speechless.

Only one thought occupied his mind: It's over.

Not that the Lin family was finished.

But that the entire luxury goods industry, still stuck in the manual era, was doomed.

The machine before them was not embroidering.

It was printing money.

No, it was much faster than printing money.

"Dad..."

Lin Zhiyao's voice trembled.

Lin Boyuan ignored him.

The old man staggered to the artwork, extended a trembling hand, and gently stroked the texture on the silk.

The touch was warm and moist; the stitches were perfect.

He closed his eyes, and two lines of turbid old tears slid down his cheeks.

"Divine skill... Truly divine skill..."

He muttered to himself.

"A lifetime of my embroidery is not worth ten minutes of its work."

"The legacy of our ancestors, in its hands, has truly come alive..."

He suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at Shen Yan, his gaze filled with unprecedented awe and fervor.

"Mr. Shen! The Lin family is willing to follow you for generations!"

At this moment, all his pride and all his doubts had been shattered by this artwork.

What he saw was not a competitor.

But a god.

A god creating the future in a way mortals could not comprehend.

Shen Yan's expression remained calm.

He simply nodded.

"Elder Lin, you are too kind. This is just the beginning."

Just then, the system's voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Main Quest 'Tiangong Kaiwu' Phase One 'Laying the Foundation' perfectly achieved!]

[Evaluation: Exceeded expectations. The 'tiangong no. 1' prototype not only mastered the craft but also preliminarily grasped the 'artistic conception,' laying a solid foundation for subsequent evolution.]

[Phase Reward 'Super Material Generation Matrix' technical blueprint has been issued to the System Space, please Host check.]

It was done.

Shen Yan's heart was undisturbed.

All of this was within his plan.

The arrangements in Lingnan were stable.

The rest only required Wu Ya and the Lin family to connect and proceed step by step.

It was time for him to go back.

That evening, Shen Yan and Liu Hui were strolling in the courtyard.

"Things here are almost done."

Shen Yan held her hand and said softly.

"Let's go back to the metropolis."

Liu Hui leaned on his shoulder and nodded.

"Okay."

"Youyou has also been mentioning that she misses Auntie Xiaoya."

"Mmm."

Shen Yan looked at the moon in the sky.

"Besides, there is a very important matter that needs to be handled."

The next day, the Shen Yan family's private jet took off from Lingnan Airport, heading straight for the metropolis.

The plane flew smoothly above the clouds.

Youyou had already fallen asleep leaning against Liu Hui.

"What is that very important thing you mentioned?"

Liu Hui asked curiously.

Shen Yan turned his head and looked into her eyes.

"Let's go get our license."

Liu Hui froze.

She thought he would mention some new project or a major company plan.

She never expected it to be this matter.

"But... the wedding..."

She subconsciously touched her belly.

"It won't look good in a wedding dress like this now."

Shen Yan smiled, reached out, and pulled her into his embrace.

"The wedding can wait."

"After you give birth and recover, I will hold the grandest wedding in the world for you, making you the most beautiful bride."

"But the license, I want to get it now."

His voice was light, yet carried an unquestionable solemnity.

"In the past, I owed you too much."

"Now, I want everyone to know that you, Liu Hui, are my, Shen Yan's, wife. A legal, rightful wife."

"I want to give you and our child the firmest security."

Liu Hui's eyes instantly turned red.

This man was always like this.

He wouldn't say too many sweet nothings, but he always considered everything perfectly for you.

She nodded vigorously and buried her face in his chest.

"Okay."

The Metropolis, Civil Affairs Bureau.

When a black Cullinan stopped at the entrance, it drew the attention of many people.

The car door opened, and Shen Yan helped Liu Hui step out.

He was dressed casually today, but the aura of someone long accustomed to high positions could not be concealed.

Liu Hui wore a loose beige long dress, her face beaming with a happy smile.

The registration staff member was a young girl who had recently graduated.

When she saw the characters "Shen Yan" on the ID card, her hand trembled violently.

The founder of the Shenyan Group, the legendary figure who had almost single-handedly changed the domestic technological landscape?

She felt like her breath was about to stop.

She secretly glanced up and found that this great figure of legend was looking at his wife with eyes full of tenderness, even carefully tidying up the stray hairs around her ear.

That gaze was so doting it was almost overflowing!

The young girl's heart was instantly captured.

So, fairy-tale love truly existed.

She suppressed the excitement in her heart and completed all the procedures with the most professional attitude and the fastest speed.

"Mr. Shen... Ms. Liu, congratulations."

When she handed over the two brand new red booklets, her voice carried a slight tremor.

"Thank you."
