In the simple workshop, Chen Cha looked at the half-finished mechanism on the table with a frown.

Chen Cha is an old man wearing a black robe, with a gray beard and sunken eye sockets.

At this moment, he was sitting on a mechanical chair floating in the air, several feet above the ground, racking his brains but unable to come up with a solution.

His design encountered difficulties again.

"I don't know how long it will be stuck this time!" Chen Cha sighed.

There is really no set number for designing a mechanism. Sometimes, it takes a day or two to figure it out, and sometimes, it takes weeks or months. For example, it took Chen Cha a whole year to solve the problem.

Chen Cha raised his eyes to glance at the account book on the upper right corner of the desk, and his expression became even uglier.

Outstanding mechanical creations always require inspiration and ingenious ideas. Chen Cha has a solid foundation, especially in formations, but his inspiration is very scarce and lacks creativity.

In the past, he didn't think so, so he borrowed money to open this mechanical workshop.

Reality gave him a hard slap in the face, leaving him with a huge debt. He was in a difficult situation now, and even if he sold the workshop, it would not be enough to pay the debt.

It was too late to regret. Chen Cha knew that the only way out was to design an excellent mechanical device, which would become popular in the market and make him a lot of money, so that he could come back to life.

Boom boom boom.

There was a knock on the door.

Chen Cha frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"

A voice came from the other side of the door: "Master, someone is visiting and wants to ask you for advice."

Chen Cha nodded: "Lead him to me."

He was short of money and was eager to pay off his debts. Normally, he would not do this kind of consulting business, but he had no choice but to make money from all sources.

After a moment.

Ning Zhuo walked slowly into the workshop: "My name is Ning Zhuo, and I would like to greet Master Chen Cha."

The old man hummed and put on airs, but in fact he quickly looked Ning Zhu over.

Ning Zhuo was seen wearing a clean white robe, with a pair of calm and pure eyes and a youthful and tender face.

Chen Cha's gaze lingered on the jade pendant on Ning Zhuo's waist.

He saw the word "Ning" engraved on the jade pendant.

"Ning family?" A gleam of light flashed in Chen Cha's eyes.

There are four major forces in Huoshi Xiancheng, the first of which is the City Lord's Mansion, the current City Lord is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. The second is the formation Zhou family, the weapon Zheng family, and the talisman Ning family.

He was slightly pleased in his heart: "Coming from a big family, the young man in front of me may have a lot of money. This business may be able to expand. I will point out some shortcomings later so that he can ask more questions."

After signing the contract, Chen Cha invited Ning Zhuo to take a seat. The contract bound both parties to keep the questions and answers strictly confidential.

Chen Cha took a sip of bitter tea, his face calm, and asked Ning Zhuo for the details.

Ning Zhuo said that he had designed a mechanical device and encountered some design difficulties.

Chen Cha smiled inwardly and thought to himself, "Are you in the same situation as me?"

He disagrees.

As a mechanical monk, workshop owner, and knowledge vendor, I have encountered many examples like Ning Zhuo.

“Young people always think they are extraordinary.”

"The mechanical creations they designed are so terrible and horrible! Some of them even contradict themselves. Once the magic power is injected into them, they will collapse first."

Of course, this was just Chen Cha's thought. On the surface, he nodded slightly, motioning Ning Zhuo to continue.

Ning Zhuo said, "There are casualties during the Fire Persimmon Festival every year, so I want to design a mechanical device to pick the fire persimmons."

"I named it Infernape. I've already designed it. I only have one last level left..."

Chen Cha was getting impatient.

"Okay." Chen Cha waved his hand, "Let me see it first."

Ning Zhuo took out the mechanical monkey from the storage bag.

Chen Cha was slightly stunned and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

The Mechanical Fire Monkey's fur is a smooth red, exquisite and gorgeous. The first time it appeared, it had already attracted Chen Cha's attention.

Chen Cha is a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage and possesses spiritual awareness.

He couldn't wait to release his spiritual sense to investigate.

The next moment, his eyebrows were almost raised, but fortunately he suppressed it in time.

"This mechanical monkey is not simple!" Although his design ability was insufficient, his vision was sufficient. He immediately saw that Infernape had many extraordinary features.

Chen Cha reached out and stroked the fur of the Infernape. It felt smooth and comfortable. He praised in his heart, "It is sewn tightly, as if it were one piece. There are many talismans painted on the fur lining, which adds to the toughness of the fur. It is neatly made and rigorously laid out, comparable to an experienced tailor."

He tried to find fault, but couldn't.

He could only comment calmly: "This basic skill of sewing fur is just okay."

Ning Zhuo nodded and said in agreement: "Yes! I made it according to the traditional spiritual embroidery technique. I used the skin of a tinder rat. The skin is small and the raw material is too fragmented, so I can only use a lot of silk thread to sew it. It does have many flaws, and the fire resistance of the seams is greatly reduced."

"Oh? You did it?" Chen Cha raised his eyes and looked at Ning Zhuo, feeling surprised.

The design agency does not represent the production agency.

Ning Zhuo is very young, but he has such good skills at such a young age?

"Perhaps, this is his strength." Chen Cha thought to himself as he continued to scan with his spiritual sense.

He saw the skeleton of the mechanical monkey and was slightly moved: "Is it Tianjin?"

"Tianjin is light, tough, and has a certain spatial efficiency. Do you use it as the skeleton material to have the function of storage?"

Keep reading.

"Sure enough." Chen Cha thought. He saw the magic array pattern on the skeleton.

"This is a storage formation. It is laid out very appropriately, making full use of the framework and trying to compress the area occupied by the formation as much as possible."

"After doing this, this mechanical monkey still has room for upgrading. The creator has a good vision of the overall situation."

Chen Cha admired in his heart. He raised his eyes to look at Ning Zhuo again, and then immediately fixed his gaze on the mechanical monkey on the table.

There is nothing to criticize about the skeleton.

Chen Cha thought for a moment and said, "Regarding the selection of Tianjin, it was just a rote description, without any highlights. The formation was slightly adjusted. This adjustment is based on the foundation of predecessors and is not commendable."

Chen Cha was mentally prepared and waiting for Ning Zhuo's unconvinced rebuttal.

But Ning Zhuo nodded and agreed: "In fact, my first choice is the hollow snail. Use snail powder and a small amount of iron essence, mix the two together and melt them, press and condense them into a skeleton, the storage capacity is far greater than that of heavenly gold. It's a pity that there are very few hollow snails in Huoshixian City."

Chen Cha was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: "So, he also knows this?"

The combination of Hollow Snail and Iron Essence is indeed better, and it can work better with Tinder Rat Skin.

Chen Cha coughed twice, looked at Ning Zhuo deeply, and said calmly: "It's good that you know."

He lowered his head and continued to scan with his spiritual sense.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

When he saw the mechanical monkey's muscles, he guessed, "Is this muscle made of oil smoke mud to further enhance its fire resistance?"

"No, it's specious... It should be a new material made of lampblack mud using the alchemy method."

"This... is probably original."

"This boy in front of me did this too? What's his name?"

"Ning Zhuo?"

Chen Cha couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Ning Zhuo is too young, yet he has such attainments in alchemy?

It should be noted that being able to create a pill formula, even if it is not the whole pill, being able to create such a new material is quite rare.

Chen Cha suppressed his doubts and continued to observe, sighing in his heart: "Let alone the material, the shaping of the monkey's body is really good."

"With just this material shaping skill, the maker is qualified to be the second hammer in the weapon refining workshop. He can even be the main hammer in the creation of some small magic tools."

Seeing this, Chen Cha couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

This mechanical monkey is so perfect that Chen Cha couldn't find any flaws even if he tried.

How could he expand this business without finding any flaws? Many people had consulted him before, and many paid much more spiritual stones than planned. This was because Chen Cha pointed out more flaws in them, thus leading them to ask more questions.

Apart from complaining about the high fees, these people had no other complaints.

Because Chen Cha’s advice is indeed correct and effective.

Chen Cha gritted his teeth and continued reading.

He spread out the monkey's palm, and suddenly a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He sighed and admired in his heart: "This palm is exquisitely designed."

"These micro-arrays are nested with each other, making the monkey's palms move nimbly and vividly, and capable of making quite complex finger movements."

"This formation combination is quite novel and not a common combination. The person who set it up is extremely talented!"

"Is this also done by Ning Zhuo?"

"Who is this guy? The Ning family's contemporary genius cultivator? Why have I never heard of him?"

Chen Cha tried to remain calm until he glanced at the head of the mechanical monkey.

At this point, he could no longer conceal his expression and revealed a hint of surprise.

He discovered that the magical weapon placed in the monkey's head was actually three slingshots! "The slingshots were originally an attacking magical weapon that could be remotely controlled to change the direction of flight. But now they have been modified and are flying around in the monkey's head, acting as receivers of spiritual consciousness. This is the first time I've seen this, I've never heard of it before!"

"Oh, and there are also many talismans engraved in the monkey's brain to cooperate with it."

“This is a very original creation!”

After a little calculation, Chen Cha knew that this arrangement would be successful.

"Isn't this kind of inspiration and originality what I lack?"

Chen Cha felt sour in his heart and couldn't help asking Ning Zhuo: "How did you come up with this idea?"

Ning Zhuo said, "I had no choice but to transform the walking projectile into a spiritual sense receiver. This is because we need to make money by selling this mechanical fire monkey. If we equip it with a formation disk, the cost will be much higher. Therefore, we adopted this design."

"I always feel that this is not the best solution. This design still has unexplored hidden dangers and unstable factors."

Chen Cha's eyes lit up.

"cost!"

"Yes, without the formation plate, the cost of this mechanical monkey is very low."

"Isn't this the excellent organization I'm looking for?"

"Based on its performance, it will definitely be a hot seller in the market!"

"Wait a moment……"

Chen Cha looked at Ning Zhuo and suddenly felt a little angry.

This mechanical creation is flawless, why would I ask him for advice? Why did this young man take it out to ask for advice? "Perhaps, this genius did this on purpose to play a trick on me?"

After getting angry, more doubts arise in my heart.

"Such an excellent mechanical work was really made by this young man in front of me?"

"If I had designed such a mechanical device and I were so young, I would have held my head high and proudly announced it everywhere."

"This is a reflection of one's own ability, and it is not something that ordinary people can do!"

"But isn't this young man a little too modest?"

"It's like they don't have enough confidence and feel guilty about claiming it as someone else's work."
