"Mechanical techniques?"
The freckled girl's eyes lit up, but soon, the light in her eyes dissipated, and she said in a tentative tone:
"The secret technique my master passed down to me didn't have his consent, so I can't exchange it with you. However, the secret technique for refining flying magic weapons is extremely precious. I can only give you another set of secret techniques that I obtained by chance. But I have to tell you in advance that this secret technique only has the first half, so even if you learn it, you can only refine low-level magic weapons!"
Su Rui hadn't held out much hope at first, but upon hearing the girl's words, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He responded, "That's perfect. The mechanical arts I have can only produce low-level mechanical men!"
The two of them immediately and happily took out their respective secret techniques and handed them to each other.
After receiving the secret technique, Su Rui couldn't wait to quickly scan it, and couldn't help but admire it. The technology of this other world after the deviation was no less advanced than that of Earth before the crossing. The mechanical man was a typical example, and the flying magic tool he had just obtained was another typical example. It was a bit like an intelligent robot and an amphibious aircraft.
He was overwhelmed with emotion. It had been nearly a year since he'd arrived in this world, and he'd been struggling to adapt. This world was vastly different from his original one. High-tech electronics were absent, replaced by magical spells and magical artifacts. But the appearance of mechanical beings and flying magical instruments gave him a sense of familiarity. Therefore, he sought to obtain the methods for refining these two magical artifacts.
This world's technology landscape is a bit off-kilter. While its applied products may lag behind Earth's by a factor of a thousand, its high-end technology is no less impressive. This is because this world boasts a variety of wondrous natural resources and treasures, allowing individuals to achieve even greater prowess. Refining artifacts doesn't require large-scale equipment like machine tools; a single spiritual flame is all that's needed to create the desired component. Furthermore, individuals can live for a very long time. Those who become master refiners are typically advanced veterans, with fewer age restrictions.
By the way, the secret scroll given by the freckled girl is called "Nine Transformations and Nine Changes of Sea Loach Secret Method". According to the introduction, this secret method can be used to refine nine forms of sea loach boats. Each of the nine forms is stronger than the other. If the ninth form of sea loach dragon boat is refined, flying into the sky and hiding in the ground will be a piece of cake.
However, as the girl had explained, she only had the first half of the secret technique. Therefore, Su Rui only had the secret technique to create the first four forms of the sea loach boat, which lacked the ability to fly. If Su Rui wanted to create a flying device, he would either have to find the remaining half of the secret technique or learn another secret technique.
As the saying goes, a towering building rises from the ground. The four forms of sea loach boats in the first half of the book alone are enough to explore. Moreover, what he is about to do now is to go on a sea adventure, and the four forms of sea loach boats in the first half will be of great use!
After handing over the secret method of Nine Transformations of Sea Loach to Xiaotu, he was planning to exchange some materials for refining the sea loach boat with the freckled woman, but was stopped by Xiaotu.
"Master, after absorbing the merits you have accumulated during this period, half of the damage to Xiaotu's body has been repaired, and many abilities have been unlocked. For example, with the secret technique obtained this time, the master can directly construct a deduction formation through Xiaotu, conduct deductions himself, and improve his proficiency in forging secret techniques..." Xiaotu talked incessantly about the changes after it was upgraded.
The upgrade of the small map means that Su Rui can deduce various skills and secrets more flexibly according to his own ideas, just like the Nine Transformations and Nine Changes Sea Eel Secret Technique he obtained this time. By deducing the large formation, it may not be impossible to deduce the contents of the second half of the volume step by step.
"Great, little map!" Su Rui said excitedly, "This deduction function upgrade is really timely. Otherwise, I don't know how many sea loach ships I would have to refine to improve my refining skills... I'm still too poor!"
"Master, besides this there is also..." Xiaotu wanted to give a hint.
But Su Rui stopped him: "Xiao Tu, keep the subsequent changes for now, and tell me in detail when I need them. I'll change some materials now, and I'll call you when we get back to the inn. I tried the function of deduction myself!"
Although his conversation with Xiaotu was not short, it was a spiritual communication, so it only lasted for a moment. The freckled girl did not see anything wrong with him.
"I have a few mechanical men here. Can I exchange them with you for materials to refine a first-level sea loach ship?"
Su Rui took out a sword-wielding mechanical man that he had previously refined with the elder of the Zhushan Sect from the space in the copper ring, placed it in front of the freckled girl and asked.
When the young woman saw the automaton Su Rui had brought out, she immediately circled it with a fiery gaze, as if she had found a treasure, unable to let it go. Her eyes sparkled, clearly filled with desire for the automaton. She gathered herself, then said to Su Rui, "I can give you a set of all the other ingredients, but I'm missing a core ingredient: the sea loach bone!"
Su Rui frowned slightly when he heard this. The loach bones were an indispensable material for forging a loach boat, and it was normal that the freckled girl couldn't get them. Because to refine a loach boat, the bones of the loach fish had to be extracted within one hour after its death and refined into the keel of the boat, and the soul of the loach fish had to be sealed into the keel of the loach boat on the spot to increase the spirituality of the boat. Only in this way could the refined loach boat have the possibility of nine transformations!
"Alright then! Give me the existing materials, and the robot will be yours!" Su Rui nodded, retracted the mark he had left inside the robot, and pushed it out. Seeing Su Rui's willingness to make a deal, the girl smiled, a rare moment. This smile, like the sunshine on a spring day, instantly dispelled the gloom in Su Rui's heart.
