YM778.TV Chapter 303: Modification
Upon returning to Manor Castle, Song Jian could not wait to start manufacturing Self-destructing Robots. The Self-destructing Robots, being disposable items, can be used all at once. A single robot could cause 200 points of damage, and if ten were used simultaneously, that increased to 2000 points of damage, enough to kill a level-10 elite boss outright.
After placing all the materials onto the Engineering Crafting Table, the machine began to operate automatically, subtracting, extracting, fusing, and processing the ores. In no time, Song Jian saw the pieces of the Self-destructing Robots taking shape.
Since it was component manufacturing, and Song Jian’s crafting skill had already increased to level 2, the component crafting was highly successful with minimal failure rates. Nearly seven to eight parts were manufactured before there was a defective one.
Having used up all the materials, a large number of parts were produced, and Song Jian’s crafting skill level also successfully advanced to level 3.
Now, it was up to Song Jian to do the assembly. If there were mishaps during assembly, there would be no Self-destructing Robot.
Song Jian divided the produced parts into over a dozen piles, and began to install them one by one according to the instructions on the blueprint. After all, this was just a game. It was not as demanding as the real world. Song Jian only needed to assemble the dozen or so parts in order. The process was similar to building a Lego set.
Soon, Song Jian had assembled his first “Self-destructing Robot”.
System: You successfully created a “Self-destructing Robot”, increasing your crafting proficiency by 3 points, leveling experience by 300 points, and likewise obtaining a poor-quality “Self-destructing Robot”.
Song Jian checked it out. The robot he had produced looked dumb, like a toy sold in toy stores for more than ten dollars. Its power was not as great as stated on the blueprint, it could only cause 110 points of damage from a range explosion, almost weak compared to the original version.
“The first one is just for practice; it’s already good that I managed to create it,” Song Jian shrugged and comforted himself.
He didn’t expect that assembling the robot himself would yield leveling experience. Prior production of T-11 High-explosive Grenades only increased crafting proficiency, without leveling experience.
At the sight of the experience bar, which was only 2% shy of reaching level 15, Song Jian’s mood immediately improved. Once he assembled the remaining dozen Self-destructing Robots, he’d likely get directly promoted to level 15.
With the first one as practice, Song Jian’s mood improved, making his assembling actions quicker and lighter than before. It’s as smooth as flowing water, the rhythmic assembly sounds even felt like a pleasing melody.
One by one, the Self-destructing Robots were assembled by Song Jian. Starting from the second robot, the power of the Self-destructing Robot had already increased to 200 points. By the fifth and sixth, the quality had become excellent, increasing the power to 250 points. The power difference between the first and the last robot was like heaven and earth.
When the last “Self-destructing Robot” was finally assembled, Song Jian abruptly came out of his previous concentrated state, staring at the silver Self- destructing Robot, dumbstruck.
This last robot differed greatly from the previous ones in design and color, now faded silver. It was more lively than before and looked like a piece of art carved by a master.
As expected, Song Jian’s level increased to 15. Before, he had been eager to reach level 15 so he could wear the Ghost Battle Armor. But now, all his attention was on the silver Self-destructing Robot in his hands.
“A…a perfect quality Self-destructing Robot?” Shocked, Song Jian looked at the attributes of the robot before him.
System: The player has produced a perfect quality Self-destructing Robot, increasing crafting proficiency by 10 points, leveling experience by 1000 points;
System: Congratulations, player, for being the first person among the god- blessed to create a perfect quality item, awarding 10,000 points of leveling experience; reward: one “Crafting Table Modifier Stone”.
System: Congratulations, player, you have acquired the right to engrave your unique seal on manufactured products!
“Crafting Table Modifier Stone (Silver): After use, it can improve the Grade of the Engineering Crafting Table by one level;”
“Modifier Stone? That’s an incredible thing. But why can it only be used to modify the Engineering Crafting Table?” Song Jian looked at the Modifier Stone, glowing silver, in his backpack and thought gloomily.
He owned a Silver grade Portable Alchemy Crafting Table. If it could be used on it, it could be directly upgraded from Silver to Gold grade, having not an ordinary impact.
On the other hand, his Engineering Crafting Table was only of ordinary White grade. If it was upgraded by one level, it would only reach Green grade. The effect would certainly not be as significant as that of a Silver grade improved to a Gold grade.
In fact, now more than eighty percent of players do not own Crafting Tables. To create items, they have to search around the city for fixed Crafting Tables. And a vast majority of players who own Crafting Tables are limited to White grade.
If they knew that Song Jian was dissatisfied with upgrading his Crafting Table to Green grade, they would undoubtedly drown him in their saliva.
Since it could only be used to improve the Engineering Crafting Table, Song Jian directly used the Modifier Stone. Suddenly, the crafting table was engulfed in a white light, and a progress bar appeared above showing that the modification would take twelve hours;
All his Self-destructing Robots were finished, and he didn’t need the Crafting Table for now, so he could wait patiently.
As for the system’s hint about engraving his own mark on items, Song Jian pondered a bit, opened the system interface, and began to design his own mark.
Soon, Song Jian designed a Clover emblem and engraved it on the last, perfect quality Self-destructing Robot.
System: Clover Emblem registration successful. This emblem is now bound to your account. Others cannot use or design similar emblems.
After finishing crafting all the Self-destructing Robots, more than five hours had passed. His “School Flag” and “Battle Flag” had combined a long time ago, and now, a strange flag appeared in Song Jian’s two-hand weapon slot.
The flag had a sharp blade on top of it, more than a foot long, similar to a spear blade. The silk-smooth flag looked like it was cut from a piece of silk. Blue-red stripes, a flaming dragon occupying two-thirds of the flag, and on the far right of the flag, a deep blue pentagram pattern.
The flagpole was more than two meters long, emitting a chill from its black body, and the attributes had also vastly improved.
“Fifth Battle Flag (Green): Two-hand weapon, can evolve; Equipment effect: Agility +3, movement speed increases by 20%, defense increases by 15%, damage increases by 10%; Special effect 1: Alliance, can designate five people as temporary allies, after allying all ally’s properties increase by 30%; Special effect 2: Brilliant Aura (passive), the Battle Flag user and their allies will gain the Brilliant Aura buff; Brilliant Aura, attack speed increases by 15%, damage +20; Special effect 3: Summon Fire Elemental Spirit (active), the Battle Flag user can summon two Fire Elemental Spirits with the same level as the user to assist in combat, the Fire Elemental Spirits will stay until their death, the Battle Flag user can dismiss them anytime, after the Fire Elemental Spirits die or are dismissed, they can only be summoned again after 1 hour; Item level: 10; Item requirement: Level 10; Can this item be taken out of the game: No”
Two-handed weapon “Fifth Battle Flag” underwent a massive change in attributes, Song Jian’s power improved significantly. Now, even if Song Jian faced a level 20 elite boss, he would be able to put up a fight.
After checking the battle flag’s attribute, Song Jain collected all the Self- destructing Robots and walked away from the Manor Castle.
