Seeing that Li Yao was about to learn the blueprint, Little Cold Hands nervously said, “Uncle, didn’t you say you’re almost a high-level engineer?”
Li Yao nodded and said, “Of course, let me see your blueprint. If the proficiency required to learn it is beyond my capability, I won’t be able to learn it at all.”
“True, you’re older and must have done many, many engineering projects. Surely you can make this gun sparkle earlier, right? I don’t have much materials prepared; only enough for a few guns,” Little Cold Hands asked nervously.
“Don’t worry, little girl, my craftsmanship is top-notch. You have three sets of materials, right? If more than three sets are required and it still doesn’t sparkle, I’ll finance the remaining production cost to ensure a sparkling weapon. Are you reassured now?”
Li Yao understood the young girl’s concerns. It was understandable, considering the current difficulties faced by hunters.
Forming a team was tough, making survival harder for hunters than other professions. This shy young girl would definitely face numerous difficulties if she didn’t have a group of close friends.
Obtaining the materials needed to craft a level 15 fire gun was not a simple task. It was likely she had exhausted all her resources to get them.
“Uncle, that’s not what I mean.” Little Cold Hands blushed as she spoke, “I have ten sets of materials. My friends helped me gather them. You only need to make ten.”
“Your friends must really look out for you,” Li Yao sighed. Crafting the fire gun required iron ingots, which were currently rare and expensive. Even Li Yao had difficulty collecting them, let alone average players. The fact that her classmates collected ten sets for her showed the high regard they had for her.
“Mm-hmm, they treat me nicely.” The young girl shyly nodded.
“Look, look, something exciting is happening! Someone has commissioned an NPC for production again.” The conversation between the two was overheard by people nearby, who began to shout out.
“Tsk, this is going to be some drama, commissioning a sparkle costs a fortune, I wonder who the unlucky one is this time.”
“True, getting a sparkle is too hard, so many people have cried over it recently.”
“Yeah, at first there were a lot of people commissioning, now who would dare let others commission? This young lady is misguided. With the money to make a sparkle, it’s better to just buy one instead.”
“That’s nonsense. You also have to find one to buy. Fire guns are too popular, they’re rare, and as soon as they appear on the auction house, they’re snapped up.”
“Why not challenge the Sand Dragon King in the Arena? Isn’t that a way to make Purple Weapons?”
“Are you kidding me? Those are standard-issue Purple Weapons, how can they compare to these custom-made Purple Weapons.”
“You’re the one kidding. What’s the point if you can’t make one?”
Players who were originally busy with their own things gradually gathered together and surrounded the workstation where Li Yao was, watching the excitement.
“Young lady, just watch and don’t worry too much,” Li Yao said, organizing his materials and teasing the young girl, who was starting to sweat from the tension.
Little Cold Hands blushed even more, dropping her head and said, “Noo, I’m not nervous.”
Seeing her like this, the crowd burst into laughter. No one wished her to fail, instead, they all tried to comfort her.
“Then I’ll start now.”
Li Yao took a deep breath, his arms turned into afterimages and began to operate the surrounding tools and production machinery.
Everyone was dumbfounded because Li Yao was not making it step by step like normal people, but simultaneously controlling several tools and machines to manufacture various parts.
All they could see of his arms were afterimages, and the only sounds they could hear were the clinking and melting sounds.
“Damn, what a genius.”
“Did this young lady get lucky and bump into a master of Engineering?”
“Nonsense. Can’t you see the proficiency in his operation? Even a senior engineer might not be able to do that.”
“Record it down, hurry.”
Not to mention these players, even some nearby NPCs all climbed to a high vantage point, watching as Li Yao crafted the fire gun with great interest.
“A master, I can’t believe I had a master as my guest.” The dwarf woman who was in charge of welcoming Li Yao was full of regret. “Why was I in such a hurry to go home to see my child? If I had stayed to assist the master, I would surely have progressed to a senior engineer, no more doing odd jobs.”
Despite her overwhelming regret, she, like the other NPCs, kept her eyes fixed on Li Yao as he expertly operated various tools.
Similarly, an old dwarf with white facial hair said sighingly, “Multitasking, truly phenomenal! Didn’t expect that except for a few great craftsmen and great grandmasters, someone else could multitask too. Why haven’t I heard of this Meka before? It doesn’t make sense.”
Surrounded by several senior engineers, the old dwarf muttered to himself. The engineers were so stunned by his words that they couldn’t help but focus on Li Yao’s performance.
Once Li Yao started working, he was incredibly focused and serious. His multitasking was possible due to his immense spiritual power, and it was a skill that had taken him a long time to fully master.
Creating a fire gun from a blueprint was a much easier task compared to crafting a mechanical puppet. This was a straightforward task for Li Yao.
Normally, it would take more than an hour to craft a fire gun, but Li Yao completed it in just ten minutes.
As they watched Li Yao carefully polish the gun with sandpaper, someone cried out.
“Flash!”
“Flash!”
“Flash!”
“Flash!”
“Flash!”
Starting with a handful of people, the cries were echoed by hundreds who had been watching the process.
Although the process had taken ten minutes, it had seemed to pass in an instant. It felt as though they had been watching a pleasing performance which left them craving for more once it was over.
In their eyes, with such a craftmanship, if it still didn’t flash, it would be a great injustice.
Everyone held their breath when Li Yao started the final polish, anticipating the critical moment of destiny.
When Li Yao lifted the fire gun after finishing with his polish, the gun, originally emitting a blue glow, suddenly changed, flashing a brilliant purple light. The blue quality fire gun had transformed into a purple weapon.
“It really flashed.” The old dwarf muttered, “It’s a miracle, a miracle.”
“One flash, although I prayed for it, I didn’t expect that it would really happen.” Everyone was in disbelief.
Little Cold Hands had a reddened face, covering her mouth in excitement, and eyes filled with euphoria.
Li Yao handed the fire gun to her, saying, “Miss, how was it? Your material was not wasted, right?”
“Yes, Yes, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.” Little Cold Hands was delighted.
“Master, I also need processing.”
“Master, do mine first.”
“Master, mine first, mine first.”
“Master, I have the blueprint, but I can pay the processing fee. Please do mine first.”
“Make way, make way, my teacher wants to meet Master Meka. Those who are waiting can wait a little while.” A senior engineer parted the crowd.
It was only then that Li Yao noticed a prominent old man surrounded by several senior engineers coming his way.
Although he didn’t know who the old man was, judging by his attire, he was certainly a master-level craftsman. Before Li Yao could react, the old man cordially bowed to Li Yao.
This certainly startled Li Yao…
PS: Due to a posting mishap by QiDian, there are two updates today. But don’t worry, one was just a replaced repeat chapter, your money is not wasted. It just meant I had to pull an all-nighter to get another chapter done. Please rest assured.
