Chapter 90 Magical modification is the primary productive force!

Oak's magic workshop and the apprentice's practice room are now bustling with the noise of clanging.

I saw a group of skinny skeleton soldiers gathered around a square wooden table, shouting and creaking something.

Following behind Oak, Luo Yan walked into the practice room and glanced curiously at the group of skeletons.

I saw a thing that looked like a sewing machine placed on the wooden table. The flywheel was wrapped with leather and connected to the pedals and connecting rods under the wooden table.

The player with the ID "Zheng Fangcheng" on his head sat at a wooden table, stepping on the pedals and carefully moving the granite block in his hand.

In fact, this thing doesn't look like a sewing machine, it is a sewing machine.

Brother Zheng had received an order from the first leather factory in the cemetery, which required him to build a pedal-operated sewing machine. He spent two weeks researching this thing, and the only thing left was the shuttle for hooking the thread. He thought about it and simply modified the semi-finished machine and used it for inscription carving.

It turns out that this thing is extremely useful!

Driven by the railing and flywheel, the needle connected to the spring rod hits the surface of the granite practice stone at a speed of N times per second. The efficiency is far better than manual drilling!

That’s not all!

The spring rod above the needle can also adjust the strength of a single impact to match the material to the maximum extent! Avoid hitting too deep or too shallow to break the material!

There was a series of crisp clanging sounds, and in just a few breaths, he had poked hundreds of dense points on the surface of the training stone.

“Done!”

Just pull the engraving knife lightly on the dot matrix, and the dots will immediately connect into lines!

Zheng Fangzhi dusted off his hands in a casual manner and showed the practice stone in his hand to the other apprentices around him.

Looking at the neatly printed "ghost text", the surrounding players exclaimed from the bottom of their hearts.

“66666!”

"Wow, brother! You're amazing at this!!"

“Is this modified from a sewing machine?”

"Brother, how many years were you sentenced to?"

Zheng Fangfang said: "Get lost! You are the one who made the judgment! I am a decent person and I have decent skills!"

Looking at Brother Zheng who was being treated like a star, he was extremely jealous and muttered something sourly.

"Don't forget, this was my idea!"

Obviously, Brother Zheng has forgotten.

But remember, this thing was also designed by him, and has nothing to do with this old friend who can only shout 666.

Seeing everyone staring at the machine in his hand with envy, Brother Zheng, who smelled a business opportunity, also smiled and finally showed the fangs hidden behind the smile -

Or human nature.

"Everyone, I have finished my homework! Who of you still needs to hand in homework? Don't worry, my machine is not expensive, it only costs 1,000 ghost coins for half an hour!"

The so-called homework is the apprenticeship task assigned by Oak. Each person must hand in 10 practice stones every day. If you practice for a week and get a C or above rating, you will pass and can move on to the next subject.

If you use this thing, getting all A's in seven days is not a problem!

The most important thing is to save time!

It is too much trouble to rub the Hades text by hand. You want to learn a life skill but it delays the time of leveling up. This is something that most of the roll kings cannot tolerate.

but--

1000 ghost money is too damn expensive!

Before Brother Zheng finished his words, they were drowned out by a chorus of uproar.

“Oh shit!”

“You call this not expensive?!”

"Enough for my good brother to go to the bathroom five times!!"

He drank the chemical pool in one gulp and clenched his fists, fanning the flames.

"Damn capitalists!"

Zheng Fangxing widened the soul fire in his skull as he looked at this guy who was crying thief.

"What the hell?! Am I considered a capitalist??? Don't be so ridiculous——"

"Brothers! Confiscate it!"

“Ahhhhh!!!”

"@#￥&%!"

Of course, it is impossible to confiscate it. Not to mention whether the rules of the game allow it, if it is really confiscated, it will only benefit the devil in the end.

Under the instigation of a group of people, the farce finally ended with Brother Zheng making a compromise and changing the hourly fee to a "membership system with guaranteed completion of the task."

1,000 ghost coins per hour is a bit painful, but 10,000 ghost coins to complete the task in a week is acceptable to most players.

Even though they are really familiar with how to use this thing, most people spend less than an hour a day on it, and maybe they can complete the task in half an hour.

According to Oak's original plan, if these apprentices wanted to finish making ten samples, it would take at least six hours...

The players weren't the only ones shocked.

There are also two "NPCs" standing at the door.

Seeing his apprentice making another finished product, Oak excitedly looked at Luo Yan who was standing next to him and spoke with gestures of joy.

"Look! Lord Demon! You must understand what Oak is trying to say! This is simply... simply incredible! Your minions... How did they come up with this idea?"

To be honest, if this game had something like a public screen, Luo Yan couldn't help but give this guy a "666".

Although this is not a remarkable technology, it is not easy to think of using this technology here, and it is even more difficult to improve it according to local conditions.

“It’s really amazing.”

As expected of his minion! Seeing that the Demon King really understood what he meant, Oak's expression became more excited, and he clenched his fists and said excitedly.

"If we have this kind of punching tool... we can further reduce the craftsmanship requirements for apprentices! Even the dumbest goblin can be competent for the work of engraving inscriptions! Lord Demon, Oak strongly recommends that we should get a few more of these things!"

Seeing the inexperienced look on Ou Ke's face, Luo Yan chuckled and raised his hand to signal him to be patient.

"Don't worry, Oak. I know the value of this thing, but this is far from the limit of my players."

Oak was stunned.

"limit?"

"That's right," Luo Yan nodded and said with a smile, "Didn't you notice? This device looks ingenious, but it's actually just a semi-finished product. It's far from mature, or there are still many areas that need to be improved."

Not to mention a semi-finished product, this thing is not used here at all. It's just a sewing machine that has been modified a little bit.

As for the fact that it could be of such great use, I'm afraid the players themselves didn't expect it. It can only be said to be a coincidence.

But isn’t this how all great inventions are born?

Luo Yan believes that once they have tasted the benefits of technological improvements, they will definitely devote themselves to the cause of "pushing the limits of the Scourge OL physics engine" with greater enthusiasm.

There is absolutely no need for him to force things to happen at this time. He can wait until his younger players have developed more mature technologies and then stand on their shoulders to grow bigger and stronger.

Or just leave it to them.

Luo Yan actually didn't really want to go down and do this himself. There was really no need for him to be a referee and play football at the same time.

Looking at the calm Demon King, Oak's heart was extremely shocked and he said in astonishment.

"Demon, Demon King... Have you ever seen a tool more powerful than this?"

"That's nothing," Luo Yan said with a smile after glancing at the ignorant guy. "What's important is not the tools, but the methods and ideas to solve the problems... I asked you to teach them the Dark Words because I hope you can learn some of these things from them and not get stuck in your previous research."

"Although you may not understand what I mean now, I believe you will understand it one day."

If that day comes, he will take the opportunity to show off.

If there is no chance, then there is no chance. He won’t lose anything anyway.

The serious look on Ouke's face was slightly moved. In addition to being shocked, tears of emotion suddenly welled up in his eyes.

The devil is above!

The respected Demon King actually cares about me!

How kind this is - bah! Evil - no, it doesn't seem right?

Oak knocked his own deranged head in frustration.

Because he didn't know what adjectives to use to praise the Demon King, he was so moved that he became dizzy.

Fortunately, the devil didn't care about his rudeness.

Luo Yan never looked at this guy from beginning to end. His eyes were always on those smart and hardworking little players.

"I think if they are given enough time and proper help, they can do more than just improve the carving technology of the Dark Word. They can even make the Dark Word automatically produce Dark Words... just wait and see."

As he spoke, Luo Yan walked into the practice room from the door.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zheng Fangfang, who was counting money and couldn't suppress his smile, was suddenly startled when he saw the Demon King who suddenly appeared. He said subconsciously with a guilty conscience.

"Demon, Demon King? Why are you here?"

The player who was stepping on the hole punching machine looked up and almost punched a hole on the skeleton's finger.

Seeing everyone looking towards him, Luo Yan didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point with a smile.

"I heard that a strange invention was born in Oak's magic workshop, which can reduce the apprentice's working time from six hours to one hour... Is this the thing?"

Unsure of what the Demon King was thinking, Zheng Fangxiang nodded nervously.

"Yes, yes..."

When he said this, he couldn't help but add a sentence in a low voice.

“This shouldn’t be considered a bug, right?”

"Well done." Ignoring the whisper, Luo Yan nodded in approval and continued, looking at the guy, "This is exactly the kind of innovative spirit that the Great Cemetery needs... You did a great job. This Demon King is very satisfied."

The more he looked at the ID, the more familiar it seemed. After staring at it carefully for a while, he realized that this guy was the one who made furniture for him.

Luo Yan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled while expressing his admiration.

You can actually do some serious work! Seeing that the Demon King had not come here to pick a fight with him, Zheng Fangxiang immediately smiled awkwardly and turned back into the dull carpenter.

"Thank you, thank you! Hehe..."

Luo Yan stared at the machine for a while and continued.

"The design of this tool is very interesting...but I was thinking, why not try using the Hades scripture on this?"

"Respected Demon Lord! We are planning to do just that," he quickly interrupted the topic after taking a gulp of the chemical pool, smiling sheepishly, "It's a pity... We are still apprentices and only have practice stones to use, so we can't enchant this machine. If Mr. Oak can teach us how to print the underworld script on metal, I think this won't be a problem!"

"It's not very difficult. I will have my servant teach you."

Having said this, Luo Yan paused for a moment and continued.

"In addition, it's not just technology. I have a group of skilled craftsmen here. They happen to have nothing to do, so maybe they can help you."

Upon hearing this, the players looked at each other and cast surprised glances at Luo Yan.

Guessing something vaguely, he swallowed the saliva in reality excitedly after taking a sip of the chemical pool, and asked in a low voice.

"Craftsman? What do you mean by that?"

"The third level of the maze, the mole man of Ironfang City."

After saying this succinctly, Luo Yan sent the task he had just edited to the task bars of the twenty or so life professional players in front of him.

Looking at the pairs of soul fires burning in the skulls gradually showing excitement, he continued in a pleasant voice.

"Those guys are natural craftsmen, and are best at polishing metal and stone. They were suspected to have worked for the dwarves in the Wanren Mountains before, and later escaped into my territory, and just surrendered to me."

"This time next week, I plan to send Oak there to visit and study, and exchange experience and insights on the use of Hades with the Mole Man engineers, and by the way, let them produce something truly useful instead of the previous industrial waste."

"With your understanding and application of Hades, I think you can definitely bring some different inspiration to those little guys. If you are interested, I will let Oak take you to this exchange meeting... as his apprentice."

There is no doubt that——

This is a hidden mission!

And it is a hidden task exclusively for life professional players! After hearing the first half of Luo Yan's words, the soul fire in the skulls of all the players present was boiling, and some even didn't listen carefully to what the second half of someone's words said.

"I want it!" It was still Yikouxiong who first expressed his opinion. This guy was so excited that he wanted to hold Luo Yan's hand. "Dear Demon King, as your most respected servant, please be sure to entrust this glorious and arduous task to me!"

The sound of a cacophony of voices suddenly filled the entire practice room, and the skeleton hands that were raised one after another almost completely blocked Luo Yan's sight.

“Me, me, me!”

"Master Demon, please look at me too!"

"My Lord Demon, these guys are just a bunch of flatterers. I am the only one who is truly loyal!"

"You are all my loyal minions. There is no need to get excited... Everyone present has a share."

Luo Yan chuckled, raised his hand to signal the excited little players to stay calm, and then slowly continued.

"Since you agree, then do your best... Oak."

"Here! Lord Demon!"

Hearing Luo Yan calling his name, Ou Ke, who was standing at the door, hurried in and stood respectfully aside waiting for orders.

Luo Yan continued.

"Only those who are truly talented can become your apprentices. I think you can set the requirements a little higher... Do you understand what I mean? Ten practice stones a day is too easy, and this kind of basic skills is no longer useful, right? You have to test their creativity."

Oak was stunned.

"Creativity?"

Luo Yan said with a smile.

"Yes, for example, you can give them your project to work on."

After a pause, he continued.

"Didn't I ask you to study and improve those war robots driven by ancient inscriptions? In fact, you don't have to design every line of inscriptions for every part yourself. You can put forward your requirements, and then let your apprentices come up with the inscription code for a certain function of a certain part."

"For apprentices who have made contributions, you should reward them with credits and issue them corresponding graduation qualifications after their credits reach your psychological expectations... For example, how about graduate students? Junior graduate students."

When saying this, Luo Yan did not hide anything, but asked Youyou to translate it exactly to the players.

The players who were looking at the subtitles were suddenly shocked.

What the hell?

Is this even possible?!

The degree of freedom in this game is too awesome, right? !

Not only the players were shocked, Oak opened his mouth in shock and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Can the Skeleton Soldiers be used like this? ! "This... Devil, Lord Demon, you are really..."

Luo Yan waved his hand calmly.

"No need to praise me."

Looking at that calm and composed look, Oak felt nothing but admiration and respect.

As expected of the Demon King—

No wonder goblins can't be demon kings. - (Thanks to the two leaders of "喵喵喵喵喵妙" for the reward!!!) (End of this chapter)
