To build a large communal sleeping area, the first thing you need to do is sew all the tents together. Needles and thread are not only unavailable at Damocles Military Academy, but even the exchange office doesn’t have them.

Therefore, Wei San took out several willow twigs, plucked them into five-millimeter ‘threads’ and distributed them. As for the needles, they could only be made on-site by the mecha engineers. Fortunately, they all had the tools, so they were able to do it quickly.

With needles and thread in hand, viewers across the entire network witnessed a spectacular scene of hundreds of people performing artistic sewing. It was unprecedented, if not unparalleled.

They sat on the ground, each with a tent flap draped over their legs, holding the needle in all sorts of strange ways, but they didn’t care. The most important thing now was to sew the tents together.

However, as mecha engineers who are competitive in terms of technology, how could they simply let go of an opportunity to show off?

They were united in their determination to make their sewn tent stand out from the crowd and be the most outstanding!

The mechanized engineers at Damocles Military Academy were all skilled at sewing, some even mastering the art of needlework without instruction. They would sit cross-legged, sew for a while, then scratch their scalps with the needle or try to bite the willow bark thread with their teeth.

Of course, they can’t bite it with their teeth.

Wei San was in charge of this task, helping all the mecha engineers cut the willow wires.

Although viewers enjoy watching mecha battles, or bare-handed combat against small star beasts in specific environments like Damocles Military Academy performed before, the Damocles Military Academy team is currently being quite flamboyant, always managing to draw the attention of the live stream audience.

While their eyes were fixated on other military academies dealing with the star beasts, they couldn’t help but wonder how well the communal tents at Damocles Military Academy were being sewn up.

As for the other StarNet viewers who had booked the live stream, they were busy recording and taking screenshots. They were definitely witnessing history, albeit a somewhat comical one.

When I’m old, I can brag to my children: “You mean that military academy where they sewed on the field? I watched it live!”

The mecha engineers, true to their technical background, were able to handle even such delicate tasks quickly. An hour later, a giant communal tent was sewn up.

The soldiers came over and pulled open the large tent, and the ‘masterpiece’ of hundreds of mecha engineers was immediately revealed to the audience across the entire StarNet.

The audience’s first reaction: No wonder it’s Damocles Military Academy!

A large tent’s leather has as many seams as there are stitches, reflecting the diverse styles of its construction.

Some people were more conventional; they simply sewed their names on with thread. Others, relying on their needlework skills, went so far as to sew on the flag of Damocles Military Academy. Some didn’t stop there; they even sewed on luxurious houses along the seams, implying that they weren’t living in tents, but rather in these houses.

They’ve sewed such exquisite results in just one hour! Even the most skilled ancient embroidery artists can’t compare.

Wei San inspected the entire tent from beginning to end. Finally, everyone started to set up the large communal tent. All the frames were tied and secured with willow bark. The last few willow bark were used to secure the tent at the four corners and tied to the frames that were deeply embedded in the ground to ensure that the large tent would not be blown away by strong winds and could at least support it for one night without falling apart.

“Those who are seriously injured should rest first, and then take turns on guard duty in the second half of the night,” Jin Ke said to everyone in the team.

Most people went into the large communal tents, where they could sleep on their coats as a mat. The main advantage was that there was no wind inside, and people could talk normally. A small team of people stayed outside to keep watch.

As a key person under observation, Wei San was forced by Jin Ke to rest first, so she slept on the spot.

Apart from the howling wind, there was no other sound outside. The large communal tent seemed to be in a completely different world from the outside.

It was nighttime, and the other military academies also needed to rest, but their tents weren’t very durable, lacking the sturdy willow bark used for threading like those at Damocles Military Academy. Even if they had entered the Strange Willow Forest first, they wouldn’t have thought to use willow bark for threads to sew their tents.

Other military academies without these things could only doze off in the wind, and had to open their eyes from time to time to see where they were and whether they had been blown away by the wind.

It wasn’t that no military academy set up tents, but those tents collapsed after only an hour because the wind broke the ropes.
