I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Chapter 566: Chapter 415: What Is He Creating?

The atmosphere at the Human side was in stark contrast to that of the Underground Alliance, where they were already celebrating with high fives!

The depression from losing the first round was swept away.

“Haha, the Master of Furnace Wheel performed very well this time. The Humans were totally shocked…”

“That Human craftsman didn’t do anything but just stood there as a spectator… It seems the foundation of our Alliance is indeed solid.”

Indeed, Lu Yuan stood there with wide eyes, observing, and occasionally scratching his head.

As for any ideas, he had none at all.

“The concept of that Human craftsman is diametrically opposed to ours, and it pissed him off,” explained a craftsman who looked like a lizard, “The Master of Furnace Wheel has been working too hard these years, always stuck in the past and unable to move on. Apart from eating and sleeping, all he does is research, something we can’t match.”

Another craftsman from the Dark Steel Civilization added, “Senior, I think what the Human craftsman said makes some sense… Perhaps, like cultivating Extraordinary Spark, we’ve gone down the wrong path.”

“Humph, absurd! The Furnace Wheel has already become a Craftsman Master. It’s just that our Alliance is not strong enough, lacking sufficient materials and Fortune, to let him complete higher-level items, that’s all!”

“As long as we grow strong enough… even achieving Mythical Level might be within our reach!”

This time, the performance of the Furnace Wheel was indeed very good, and observers from both sides were extremely shocked.

Even Lu Yuan himself felt immense pressure.

He could only comfort himself: “Cough cough, it’s not a big problem if I lose.”

There’s still the third round of the gamble!

Even losing the third match is acceptable, after all losing 100 Spirit Essence isn’t too bad. The Underground Alliance is unlikely to attack the Humans… in the next round of trading, the Humans can earn it back.

But when it came to the contest of ideas, Lu Yuan really didn’t want to lose.

“I must win! And win decisively!”

He prides himself on being the Greedy Demon God who has forged his own path, and refuses to lose in the theoretical disputation phase!

He had to mobilize all his vitality, racking his brains thinking hard.

He picked up one Metal Ingot after another, lifting them and then putting them down.

Mulling over them, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

“The purity of the items is quite high, but the variety is too limited.”

Simply relying on Inferior Grade Metal materials, it’s impossible to fiddle together Legendary Equipment.

Great Grandmaster… that wouldn’t do either!

Just like elementary school math, one cannot solve complex problems such as partial differential equations, ordinary differential equations with mere addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

From the perspective of forging low-level items, Furnace Wheel has reached the pinnacle of that Domain.

“Alas, seems like there’s no way to do any better. Tapping into Civilization Fortune is simply as terrifying as this!”

No choice, Lu Yuan scratched his head and had to change direction, turning his attention to the biological materials.

“Insect Shells, internal organs, and some that were just hunted.”

These materials were indeed difficult to use, also of Inferior Grade, and even came with several minuses.

Playing with these Insect Shells was time-consuming and challenging, a lot of effort for little reward.

Normally, Insect Shells are only used to extract some special Idealistic elements, or to feed to Insects.

These Idealistic elements are complex in composition and cannot be purified. They can only be used to cultivate plants, and even then, they cannot be used on animals.

“But now… might as well treat the dead horse as if it’s alive.”

Lu Yuan let out a long sigh, picked up an insect wing, and began to comb through the Extraordinary Veins in it.

“Craft a flying device? Hmm… a jumping apparatus? Insect Mimic Armor?”

“It all seems so Ordinary.”

Gradually, he entered a state of deep Concentration, sitting motionless like an old monk in meditation, with eyes blurred as if asleep.

He caught a very subtle piece of information!

This was a very common “Big Locust Valley,” belonging to the Crack·Sixth Insect Clan.

In an ordinary valley, it lived an unremarkable, uninteresting life.

It had no free will, no intelligence whatsoever.

Its main job was to use the nutrient fluid in its salivary glands to cultivate a type of mushroom called “white flat mushroom.”

Its organs could absorb sulfur and poisonous gas from the air, and it could use chlorophyll on its wings for photosynthesis to synthesize nutrients.

It secreted nutrient fluid, diligently raising mushrooms in the Mushroom Forest.

Watching… them grow.

Looking forward to every day.

But never daring to eat them itself.

Because the ultimate fate of these mushrooms often didn’t belong to it…

Strong members of the High-level Insect Clan would come to the Mushroom Forest periodically and harvest all the fungi.

It trembled and crawled on the ground, showing its submission.

This was its destiny…

But on a certain day by chance, a small piece of mushroom left over like cold leftovers fell into a crevice between the rocks, as if forgotten.

It secretly ate it.

That was the “Big Locust Valley’s” most delicious dinner in its lifetime.

Delicious! So Tasty! Ah!

That delightful memory somehow lingered in the wing, becoming part of history.

When Lu Yuan combed through the Extraordinary Veins, he also felt the joy and pleasure of eating the mushroom! His saliva began to secrete, his heartbeat accelerated, blood pressure rose, and he felt the same emotion—so delicious.

Lu Yuan jolted slightly and breathed out softly.

How exactly the Big Locust Valley died, whether it was eaten by its kind or hunted by the Underground Alliance, Lu Yuan did not know.
