After a struggle, Carl rubbed his ears and sat in a chair listening to Nia lecturing him.

He is a reasonable man, and although the ignition of the elemental pool was indeed successful, his behavior was indeed a bit reckless.

According to his and Nia's original plan, after the element pool is completed, at least 5 to 10 attempts will be made before the element pool can be officially launched.

However, Carl was really anxious about the Emerald Claw's surfacing conspiracy, so he made an attempt after confirming that Nia had completed the finishing work.

Unexpectedly, their design was quite good and it succeeded on the first try.

"Hey, Sister Nia, please stop talking about my brother. He knows he's wrong! Hasn't the elemental pool been activated successfully? Let's have a quick duel! I'm about to summon my trump card!"

I don’t know if the previous “bribery” worked, but after seeing Carl obediently accepting the training, Lisanna, the sister-in-law, began to persuade Nia.

Seeing that Nia seemed to have calmed down, Lisanna quickly added, "It doesn't matter if the startup fails. Next door is the energy storage device made by my brother. If the energy in the element pool explodes, it can absorb the energy and even use attacks to dissipate the energy. It won't be a big problem!"

Giving Lisanna a cold look, Nia said angrily, "You were bought off by the Duel Disk your brother gave you? Am I angry that he didn't wait for me? I'm angry that he played with his own safety. Of course I know that the device next door can reduce the power of the elemental torrent to the minimum, but Carl was there at the time. If something unexpected happened, his body would have been blown up!"

As she spoke, tears already welled up in Nia's eyes.

Carl quickly stood up and hugged Nia, then opened his broad arms and hugged Hope and Ying in as well.

Lisanna, who was fed a mouthful of dog food, looked at the scene in front of her with some dissatisfaction, but weighed the duel disk on her arm and watched it patiently again.

"Okay, okay, I won't do that again. Go play cards with Lisanna. I can already feel my spiritual power growing rapidly. I might even be promoted to the next level today."

Because of the spiritual feedback from completing the spacecraft, Carl's mechanic level has reached level 13.

Until level 17, there will be no bottleneck in his advancement as an artificer.

However, level 14 is a very important career for most artificers, because at this level, they are qualified to learn the characteristic of [Magic Item Expert].

This expert is not just an expert mentioned casually. After the artificer obtains this feature, the number of magic items that can be attuned will increase to 5, and any occupation, race, spell and level requirements required for attuning or using magic items will be ignored.

Take the Golden Spike Harp that Carl had obtained for example. If he had to meet the Golden Spike Harp's requirements before he could use it, now he can just force it to tune with himself and then use it at will.

The reason why Mooreban was able to study the Golden Spike Harp was thanks to this professional feature.

Therefore, after being promoted to level 14, the artificer will usually go into seclusion for a short period of time to consolidate and master this feature.

Hearing that Carl was about to be promoted to level 14 machinist, and his total level would reach level 17, the people around him suddenly looked dazed.

Especially for Iris, who originally had the highest professional level, she has lived for such a long time and is only at level 16. But the young man in front of her, who is not even a fraction of her age, is about to reach level 17?

Although Carl works part-time as a level 3 Arcane Knight, the difficulty of promotion is much lower than that of a single profession, but it is still enough to make Elise ashamed.

At high levels, quickly accumulating spirituality becomes as difficult as breaking through one's own attributes, and this is the case with psychics.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be stuck at level 16 for so many years.

Blinking, Nia loosened her arms around Carl and warned him, "Then be careful, don't try any new ideas on yourself!"

After sending everyone away with some coaxing and praise, Carl wiped the sweat from his forehead and his face suddenly turned ugly.

As his spirituality continued to grow, the piercing pain was gradually spreading in the right side of his chest. From the time the pain began to now, his right half of the body had been twitching in pain.

Not only that, the dragon pattern on his left shoulder seemed to be stimulated by something and was itching unbearably.

"V, take me to the hibernation pod!"

Trying to suppress his trembling body, Carl whispered an order to V.

Soon, two Type 2 Iron Ants came flying over and carried Carl to the hibernation capsule.

Under V's deliberate arrangement, the people who returned to the entertainment area did not notice anything unusual about Carl.

When Carl entered the hibernation chamber and his body was soaked in the alchemical solution made by Nia, the intense pain and itching seemed to have finally found breeding ground and spread throughout Carl's body in an instant.

Amidst the intense pain, Carl fell into a coma.

…

In the dream world, Carl controlled his spirituality and completed the promotion of his career level.

As his total level officially broke through to level 17, the entire dream world suddenly became more "vivid".

Karl knew that this was the benefit brought by the improvement of his soul level.

In the sky of the dream world, the eternal furnace transformed into the sun that shines on all things.

When Carl raised his head and looked at it subconsciously, his consciousness flew away again in a trance and came to the huge palace.

Standing up from his seat skillfully, Carl stepped forward, walked in front of the dream projection of the Eternal Furnace again, and then put his hands into it.

Warm energy flowed out from it, and Carl's real body seemed to benefit from it. The pain and itching were eliminated in an instant.

At the same time, some new knowledge began to be instilled into Carl's mind through the Eternal Furnace.

I don’t know if the Eternal Furnace really has consciousness. After Carl sorted out the knowledge in his mind, he found that a lot of it involved space technology.

Not only that, there are even methods on how to create invisible force fields using conventional means.

According to the description of this knowledge, the invisible force field can stabilize the spatial structure of the demiplane and prevent people from sneaking in.

"Huh? So it seems that the invisible force field may not be the energy field that the Eternal Furnace spontaneously opens, but was specially developed by the Titan Emperor?"

When he thought that such a scary guy might still be alive in the world, Carl suddenly felt a chill on his back and shuddered.
