Dawn did not restrict players from insulting NPCs . If an NPC initiated a fight and you were able to overpower him, you could take their loot .
However, most NPCs were definitely not stupid . Linken hesitated for a moment and decided to give the carving blade to Lu Li . According to the system rules, when players finished a quest, there had to be a reward regardless .
System: Completed the imbuement of the sword . Gained experience, fame, gold and Linken's carving blade .
The experience, fame and gold that was rewarded was pitiful . Only the carving blade was worth anything in Lu Li's eyes .
Out of the many tools that would be useful for Professions, this was one of the best . Not even Lu Li had heard of a better tool, both in this life and his previous one .
Of course, this Carving Blade would never be able to match up to Lu Li's hammer .
Cresso's Hammer (Special): Strength +20, Forging speed +30%, Forging success rate +20%, Rank +1, Owned by Lu Li, Durability 100/100
The differences in properties were obvious . Furthermore, the Rank +1 in Cresso's Hammer made it incomparable to anything else; it was truly an invaluable treasure . However, Lu Li did not have any complaints about the Carving Blade and was extremely content with it .
The most time-consuming aspect of Engineering was not smelting ore or modelling and putting the contraptions together .
If one item took 10 minutes to make, eight of these 10 minutes would be spent on the carving process . If the carving speed was increased by 20%, it would save more than a minute at the very least .
Furthermore, there was also the increase in success rate . Usually, if there was a mistake in the process of carving, it was best to just leave it as it is and not bother with fixing it .
Unless you were an Engineering master, it would all be a waste of time .
"Next, I would like you to help me recover my memories," Linken said as he confidently grasped his sword .
From his perspective, he was the one giving the quest, and the players only had the option of slaving away for experience and rewards .
Unfortunately, Lu Li was clearly not that type of person . He put away the carving blade, glanced at him in contempt and lazily said, "I'm sorry, I have no time to play with you . You can go and amuse yourself . "
Linken was filled with rage and his face became extremely red .
Players would try and gain favour with the NPCs simply because of what they could gain from them . As soon as experience and rewards no longer attracted them, they would no longer care .
Lu Li packed up his things and boldly left the camp .
Linken's quest was known as a 'bait' quest . In the beginning, people would think that there might be some good rewards after completing it . However, they would quickly realize that it was a fruitless endeavour, apart from the Carving Blade .
Being a player who had undergone rebirth, Lu Li obviously would not go and complete the quests . He only wanted the Carving Blade that was rewarded at the very start of the quest .
Now that he had the Carving Blade, he was free to do whatever he wanted .
The Gnomish Poultryizer was known as a luxury product in Engineering . Compared to the Explosive Sheep that Lu Li had created, this was much more intricate and complicated . As soon as it malfunctioned, it would instantly be rendered useless, and the materials would not be able to be recovered .
Lu Li withdrew 10 different materials from his storage and lined them up on his workstation, then switched off all external channels .
The Gnomish Poultryizer consisted of three parts – a Hardened Adamantite Tube, the Khorium Power Core and the main structure, along with some pieces on the outside .
The main part was the Khorium Power Core . Khorium Ore Nuggets were smelted to make a Khorium Bar, which would then have an Engineering Circle carved into it . After activating the circle, energy would begin to flow out .
The Hardened Adamantite Tubes were used to harness the energy, which could then be directed towards the target .
Lu Li carefully adjusted the temperature of the furnace, removing the impurities from the Khorium Ore . This process was actually quite easy, which was completely different to real life .
Purifying ore was a large industry in the real world .
In the game, it had become simplified to the point of triviality . Very soon, a solidifying bar of Khorium appeared in front of him . The gold colour had a soft, white lustre and it was extremely hot .
This was the result of releasing the energy . Khorium ore was definitely the most suited to making the power core .
As Dawn sprung up, internet slang also appeared with it . Among these terms, there was one that said, "So bright that it blinds my Khorium eyes," which signified a blinding, awe-inspiring feeling .
Lu Li first tried using a normal Carving Blade . This type of Carving Blade that could be bought in the shops was quite inefficient . Even after exerting a lot of pressure, it barely made a scratch .
The clarity of the line would not only affect the success rate, but would also affect the overall use of the product .
As soon as he changed to Linken's carving blade, he felt an obvious increase in accuracy and sharpness . Lu Li was extremely happy . If it gave bonuses like this, the increase in speed would be far more than 20% .
After drawing the Engineering Circle over the Khorium bar, the original light had disappeared . Only after activating the bar would the original light appear once again . Furthermore, the Engineering Circles were not only used for controlling energy . Lu Li could not explain it, but he reasoned that there had to be something in there that could turn a living being into a chicken .
After this, the Hardened Adamantite Tube was crafted . First, he smelted the ore down into a liquid, and poured it to cool in a mould .
An Engineering Circle also needed to be carved onto the Hardened Adamantite Tube . However, it was simpler than the one on the Khorium Power Core because Adamantite was softer and more malleable .
Lu Li made another 10 Hardened Adamantite Tubes in one go, since he would need them later .
As he completed more and more of these carvings, he became more efficient .
After that, there were some small parts to make – the shell, ignition device, glue, etc . The last step was putting it all together, which was followed by troubleshooting if necessary .
Lu Li closely examined each part of the machine and began to assemble them once he felt reasonably confident .
It was good that Lu Li had possessed enough materials instead of being like his former poor self . He was quite excited and his heart was rapidly racing . After all, this was something made out of Khorium . If it failed, he would lose a lot of gold coins .
Tens of gold coins would equate to an average person's salary over one or two months .
System: Congratulations, you have successfully created a Gnomish Poultryizer . Engineering Experience +1 .
