“Yurou, can you make this thing on your own?”
The blueprint provided a detailed crafting process, yet it was a real test of manual dexterity.
Without tools to assist, the success rate of crafting was extremely low, which was one of the reasons why so many players who awakened as Mechanics ended up screwing bolts in factories.
“Without sophisticated equipment and tools, the manual crafting success rate is only 1%. If I have gear precision instruments and advanced assembly devices, the success rate can be at least 40%. Once I get a bit more practiced, I’m confident I can increase the success rate to 8o%.”
After transforming into a Mechanic, although it was a lifestyle profession, it provided a 20% boost to mechanical assembly and manipulation, and her’talent offered an additional 100% understanding of mechanics.
What tools and materials do we need to make these items?”
Being targeted by some forces, Zi Liyuan didn’t plan to leave the city for the time being. Besides, he had used up today’s dungeon attempts and had plenty of time to train Shen Yurou.
Moreover, he was quite envious of these mechanical devices!
With such powerful explosive capabilities, it would be good to carry some in the Spatial Backpack for when they might be needed, right?
If preparations were made in advance and dozens or hundreds were placed, once detonated, perhaps they could even break through the defenses of tier three professionals?
After purchasing materials and a set of small, precise instruments and fabrication lathes at a considerable cost in Dragon Coins, the two finally gathered all the necessary items.
After all that hustle, they were finally ready to start crafting.
The “Timed High-Explosive Bloom Shell (Silver)” was slightly larger than a human head in the shape of an oval.
Besides the palm-sized electronic screen embedded at the top, the entire device was perfectly seamless, appearing naturally made instead of welded or assembled.
Within this oval device, however, was a dense array of gunpowder bullets, set to scatter like a blooming lotus upon detonation, instantaneously releasing in all directions.
As for the detonation methods, there were actually two. One was a timer, set to explode after a certain period of time without a distance limit; it relied entirely on the set time.
The other method involved using Spirit to control the detonation, with 1 point of Spirit managing one device, and the explosion range could not exceed 200 meters.
Zi Liyuan looked at the finished product and felt somewhat disappointed.
Mainly because it was too big. Even with preparations and setting up ambushes to lure prey, there was a high chance it would be discovered by the targets, leading to wasted efforts.
However, at this stage, it still served as a trump card, provided that he had them in large numbers. After all, it was a consumable item, like bullets, with 200 able to stack in one inventory slot!
For a Necromancer, belonging to the fragile professions, getting approached by an enemy was a big problem. But if he carried 200 of these devices in his backpack and pulled them all out for a simultaneous blast controlled by Spirit when an enemy got close…
The scenario was too beautiful to imagine, surely it would give the enemy an unexpected surprise, wouldn’t it?
The only downside was that, except for the user, the bomb didn’t differentiate between friend or foe. In the event of a large-scale explosion, it was a clearing effect, eliminating not only the enemies but also one’s own summoned minions or allies caught within the blast.
With the first “Timed High-Explosive Bloom Shell (Silver)” crafted successfully, Shen Yurou’s proficiency increased significantly; she crafted faster and the success rate kept improving. With the aid of the equipment and a continuous supply of materials, she could reach a production rate of one every 2 minutes. 7
After spending a great deal of time, Zi Liyuan made 300 “Timed High- Explosive Bloom Bullets (Silver)” before ceasing their production to switch to crafting other equipment and items.
Since the early hours of the morning, the two worked nonstop until nine in the evening, ultimately producing 300 “Timed High-Explosive Bloom Bullets (Silver),” 10 “Gunpowder Pistols – Type One (Blue),” 20 “Gunpowder Pistol Magazines,” 50 “Gunpowder Timed Bombs (Green),” 10 “Timed Explosive Bombs (Blue),” and 4000 rounds of “basic Gunpowder Bullets (White).” The main reason was the extensive working hours, which led to excessive mental fatigue, affecting the success rate of the production, forcing Shen Yurou to stop.
Zi Liyuan took 200 “Timed High-Explosive Bloom Bullets (Silver)” and put them into his own backpack.
For this, he spent another 1 million Dragon Coins and gifted Shen Yurou 5 green “Spatial Backpacks,” each increasing her inventory slots by 20, to put various devices, finished items, and equipment into the Spatial Backpacks.
It has to be said that for professionals, moving items is truly convenient; even a small lathe, as long as it’s your property, can be put into your Spatial Backpack. One could say that after equipping herself with survival gear, Shen Yurou became a mobile mini armory. As long as she carried enough raw materials, she could resupply ammunition anytime and anywhere.
However, she carried quite a bit of stuff along with various potions and other auxiliary items. With the Spatial Backpack just expanded to 120 slots, 90 of them were immediately filled up.
Let’s go to the altar square of White Crane Academy. While there’s still time, finish today’s dungeon instance and try to reach Level 10 by today, then you ’ can run it again.”
With such strong equipment at her disposal, if Shen Yurou were not below Level 10 and unable to unlock Levels 11 to 20 of the dungeons, he would definitely have her grinding Level 20 instances!
“Oh, okay…”
Shen Yurou was a bit dazed at the moment, especially after wearing the two pieces of Level 1 blue equipment that Zi Liyuan gave her – “Robes of Death (Blue)” and “Shoes of Spiritual Energy (Blue).”
In addition, her backpack held two pieces of Level 10 blue equipment: “Ashen Mage Robes (Blue)” and “Shoes of the Wind Spirit (Blue).”
Originally disheartened after awakening her talents and job, Shen Yurou didn’t expect to find new hope upon meeting Zi Liyuan.
The roller-coaster ride of excitement left her heart in a whirl of conflicting emotions.
However, upon opening her character panel and seeing the luxuriously terrifying physical damage stats, the frustration she had been holding within finally eased.
She was still that genius, or perhaps, with someone’s help, she became even more of a genius, capable of competing with the true choosen ones!
Zi Liyuan, dragging the somewhat dazed girl, went straight to the altar square of White Crane Academy.
“Listen! Select the rare Level 10 dungeon ‘Goblin Forest’ and bulldoze through it in the shortest time possible. You must level up to Level 10. After leaving the dungeon, I’ll tell you what to do next!”
Zi Liyuan flicked Shen Yurou’s forehead with his finger, causing the girl to come to her senses with tears in her eyes.
“Don’t worry, I’ve done my homework on grinding dungeons.”
With a newfound glint in her eyes never seen before, Shen Yurou took a deep look at Zi Liyuan, stepped onto the altar, and vanished in an instant.
And in her ears echoed the last words of Zi Liyuan.
“Be careful, don’t get hurt…”
