Chapter 567: Chapter 415: What Is He Creating?_2

“`

How it was born, where it came from, whether it experienced pain and sorrow, Lu Yuan didn’t know.

All he could sense was the Big Locust Valley’s joyous harvest, and that moment of eating mushrooms.

It was very happy!

Pure joy.

History is indeed magical; sometimes the recorded events are inexplicable, even the history of insects… that too is history!

...

But who can say that these histories are unimportant?

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, he recalled the Insect Clan Army of Green Mountain, the hug, coquettish Leviathan that would roll and frolic; the “Sky Fortress” that pretended to be fierce yet was gentle; the “Insect Clan Scythe” conducting reconnaissance missions, and then there were the Worm King, Ground Driller, Fungal Blanket Worm…

“I think I know what to create… an Insect Puppet!”

“Let it join our Human’s Insect Clan Army!”

“Mushroom-loving guy. You can grow mushrooms every day at our Green Mountain, how does that sound?”

“After you’ve cultivated them well, it won’t be a problem if you embezzle a little; I won’t blame you.”

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan’s desire to create was suddenly ignited, and his self-confidence began to swell!

He started picking and choosing among the pile of junk, after discerning for a long time, some useful parts were selected: four wings, large and small; six long legs with barbs; some shells on its body; teeth in its mouth; two long antennae.

Some compound eyes, glands, etc… These things were simply preserved by the Underground Alliance, not easily rotten.

All sorts of miscellaneous insect parts were piling up around the forging table.

Then, using the various forging tools before him, he meticulously crafted gears and springs.

This required deep expertise because the original insect was already dead, its nerves and muscles difficult to utilize—various functions had to be substituted by gears.

Thoughts began to soar!

Inspiration began to burst forth!

Although there was no stipulation to complete within a certain time for the second gambling fight… it was quite apparent that Lu Yuan was taking much more time than people expected.

But Lu Yuan himself was not aware— he was so engrossed in joy he couldn’t extricate himself!

Gears popped up swiftly in his hands.

Broken limbs were reassembled with various threads; teeth and eyes were reinstalled. Lu Yuan even built an internal skeleton for it, giving the puppet considerable mobility.

The form of a “Big Locust Valley” was gradually perfected.

The most important part was the gland that secreted the nutrient fluid.

This was a living organ that mechanical devices could not replace.

Lu Yuan racked his brains and spent a lot of time, not knowing how to keep this organ active long-term— all the materials at hand were merely Inferior Grade, devoid of any technological products, nothing like culture dishes and the like.

If more expensive materials were used, like sneaking in some life essence from the Tree of Life, this problem could easily be solved.

But Lu Yuan didn’t want to cheat. It came down to a matter of principles. What if he deceived his opponent, what then?

He couldn’t deceive himself!

“By harnessing the power of Innate Engravings, make some slight modifications… and then add… the Fire Sculpting Technique, wonder if it could work… the success rate doesn’t feel high.”

Lu Yuan gently shook his head.

The Fire Sculpting Technique came from the “Great Gear Treasure Book.”

When Lu Yuan disassembled a few gears in the “White Jade Hall,” he discovered that the engravings within were at a micrometer level, impossible to replicate.

But since he became a Great Spirit Rhythmer with 30 points in Divine Attribute, he can now accomplish micrometer-level complex engraving combinations.

This was a tremendous advancement!

“I still need to borrow the power of ‘Luck,’ to enhance its quality… making it ‘live’ long-term, truly difficult.”

He wanted to connect the fate of this newly created “Insect Clan” with the Insect Clan of Green Mountain.

“I… am civilization!”

Now, by joining us, you can perfectly integrate and happily cultivate your own mushrooms.

This is… my philosophy!

“Mr. Lu is creating a puppet?”

“`

“Is he shaking his head and sighing?”

The experts on the human side, upon seeing the locust puppet prototype, all wore expressions akin to constipation… utterly baffled.

Especially when combined with the scene of Lu Yuan shaking his head and sighing, everyone’s hearts grew cold; could the invincible Commander Lu really be about to lose?

Human civilization’s research on puppets is quite profound.

For instance, these “Source Fire Mechas” by my side, they are all a category of puppets. They had once acquired the legacy of the Source Fire Civilization. (The Source Fire Civilization is the civilization of the Mirage Dragon, a volcano civilization.)

Although these puppets are good, they require a huge number of components!

Things like chips and the like aren’t something human labor can achieve.

Moreover, “Creating Extraordinary Items” is most important when adding a completely new mind-oriented function, not complexity.

If it’s just the functionality of the material itself, the item’s level won’t be any higher.

And such complex puppet creations often lean towards materialism; it’s very difficult to upgrade their level!

Like these Source Fire Mechas, if appraised, would probably be just “Ordinary” level.

It’s not that “Source Fire Mecha” are useless, but in terms of gambling, priority is given to the identified Extraordinary Level…

You can’t just take a 3 nanometer CPU, graphics card, motherboard, assemble a computer, and claim our craftsmen are amazing, as it would lose the meaning of gambling and would also cause the opponent to look down on us as untrustworthy.

All the experts were completely baffled, looking gloomy and dismal.

But besides patiently waiting, they had no other choice.

“You guys need to have confidence,” Lu Tiantian coughed, “Even if we lose, let’s give Commander Lu some dignity, everyone just forget about this incident, pretend it never happened.”

“That’s also true.”

Just then, Guo Dafeng suddenly said: “It looks like the other side has finished.”

“Dang!”

With the final strike of the hammer, that axe… was completely forged.

A group of Underground Alliance staff quickly surrounded him, offering drinks and food.

This forging took 2 days, 12 hours, 49 minutes.

Master Craftsman·Lu Lun gradually recovered from his bewildered and distracted state.

For a while, he was somewhat confused about where he actually was.

His face appeared somewhat weary as he took a drink and gulped it down in one go.

But upon seeing the axe radiating red light on the forging table, a faint joy arose in his heart.

This master who had long studied Forging Science was very satisfied with his performance.

[Black Steel Axe]

[Master Craftsman·Lu Lun, with the aid of civilization destiny, managed to elevate the quality to Rare Level even though he only used Inferior Grade base materials.]

[Holding this axe, one can link up with the Extraordinary Spark, increasing the Shape Attribute by 11.9%]

[Abilities: Solid, Sharp (Rare Level +++·Artificial Artifact)]

It was nearly Superior Level!

This achievement was staggering!

For a while, everyone was at a loss for words.

The diplomats of the Underground Alliance were looking at it incredulously, carefully appraising it!

And as for Lu Lun, his brain felt hollowed out, slumped in exhaustion on the chair, gazing at the ceiling where echoes of history vibrated back and forth in his mind, never quite ceasing.

It was unclear how much time passed before he gradually came back from that mentally vacant state…

Lu Lun remembered the task at hand — the gambling was still ongoing!

“How is the craftsman on the human side doing?”

“He’s forging components over there… looks like he’s making a locust puppet.”

“What… A puppet?!”

Lu Lun turned his head and glanced over; the locust puppet appeared quite elaborately made from insect shells.

“These robot-like puppets… aren’t they more geared towards the material domain?”

“I really don’t understand…”
