April 4th, 5 AM, ga ti enters night at 5 PM.
Chun, having taken a short nap, was awakened by his alarm clock. Before him lay a bustling town alive with lights and sounds—just like before, the town had co back to life!
Excited, Chun disembarked and entered the town, only to witness Tie, glowing with white light, arguing heatedly with a short and skinny black smoke Evil Spirit, surrounded by a crowd of cheering Evil Spirit townsfolk.
The Evil Spirits spotted Chun: "Dog—er, the City Lord is here!"
Tch! As long as you acknowledge as the City Lord, I’ll take being a dog.
Chun was quite eager: "Tie, how’s the progress?"
The blacksmith pointed angrily at the wall: "His design is a hunk of shit; it can’t even be crafted!"
Holy shit!
Chun took a closer look, and sure enough, the large gear set within the small gear looked abstractly like a hunk of shit.
Chun was speechless: "Why did you draw on the wall?"
The short and skinny one snorted coldly: "There are no paper and pen tools, so of course, I can only draw on the stone wall. Anyway, I’m just an Advanced chanician; I can’t compare to him, the Grandmaster Blacksmith. If he’s not convinced, he should do it himself!"
Hmm? Chun wondered if he misheard sothing.
Tie, enraged, shouted: "Try not working and I’ll hamr you!"
The short and skinny one was sowhat afraid: "If you can’t do it, what’s the use of hamring ?"
Chun quickly asked for confirmation: "Are you an Advanced... chanician?"
The short and skinny one snorted coldly: "Advanced chanician, Chifanda! Not an Expert, sorry about that."
Holy shit! This na is more random than Smith, but that’s not the point!
In the ga, the Five Major Cities have five mainstream professions. Black Iron City has Warriors, Silver City has Paladins, Gem City has Mages, Oak City has dical Masters, and Bronze City has chanicians. Mainstream professions are a vast skill upgrade system; there’s no such thing as Advanced, Expert, or Master—these correspond to different skill levels.
By comparison, professions like Blacksmith, Miner, Tailor, and Chef are rely skills, such as Forging Technique, Mining Technique, Tailoring Technique, and Cooking Technique. As long as you learn these skills, you can use them to earn a living, which can’t compare to the Five Major Professions.
But now, chanician has appeared as a skill! So is there a possibility that the Five Major Professions were just skills from the beginning—as my hidden profession Cleaner Fish is essentially just a Purification skill.
Of course, Warrior is definitely an ancient and long-standing profession, but chanician is entirely new. This Chifanda is in the state of origin for this profession—so he’s an ancestor! The source code!
Having figured it out, Chun was thrilled: "Mr. Chifanda, do you know Bronze Vanguard City?"
The short and skinny one was visibly impatient: "Know my ass! We’ve been dead for over a hundred years, how would we know what happened later?"
Chun imdiately said: "Nowadays, chanician has developed into a mainstream profession on par with Warrior and Mage. They can build ships, mining vehicles, airships, submarines, and various combat firearms and cannon skills, very powerful!"
The short and skinny one was shocked: "On par with Warrior and Mage?!"
Tie was also shocked: "What about us blacksmiths then?"
This... Would telling the truth affect his mood, or even damage his prestige?
But is there a possibility that soone like Tie, a Grandmaster, is most likely to evolve into a hierarchical ancestor of a profession? So, he needs a bit of motivational stimulus?
Chun cautiously spoke up: "Modern blacksmiths are all obsessed with making money and gaining fa through various dubious Master selections, which can’t compare to your genuine and true Grandmaster self—"
Before he finished speaking, the short and skinny one pointed at Tie and laughed: "No future—"
Tie slapped him away angrily with a sigh: "How can it be like this!"
Seeing the short and skinny one getting slapped away, Chun panicked: "Please, don’t let anything happen!"
Lying on the ground, the short and skinny one howled and laughed: "The one with no future hit to death! I can’t work anymore!"
Holy shit, this guy is still an Evil Spirit; his attitude remains hard to manage. However, there’s still a solution: as long as I find a way to perfect his design, his confidence will definitely increase and his obsession will be fulfilled. Maybe he’ll upgrade and turn white?
Chun pulled out his phone to photograph the design on the wall. Although he wasn’t a chanical design major, he had so basic related drafting software on his tablet. The 2D common software, AutoCAD, was quite simple, and 3Dmax wasn’t difficult either; he often modeled ani characters in his spare ti for fun. But the 3D professional software CATIA was just at a beginner’s level, or should he use the recently released GPT intelligent software?
The key issue is, even if a dynamic image is simulated, how can it be drawn and realized in the ga? This isn’t within the ordinary player’s scope of playing gas; it feels more like voluntary work to improve the ga’s AI database...
While pondering, Tie suddenly said: "Although there’s a design difficulty, the key component, the magnifying lens, has already been completed. City Lord, if you’re interested, you can co to the blacksmith shop to take a look."
Chun was imdiately interested: "A magnifying glass?"
"It’s just taking those broken wine bottle shards from the bar, lting them in the furnace, and then having the lighting glass shop owner Old Wall Lamp cool them in water to shape them..."
Old Wall Lamp! Is that a na or a nickna?
Chun was intrigued: "What’s his skill level?"
Tie chuckled: "I’m not really sure; in our ti, glassmakers were all called artisans. They probably haven’t been rated yet."
But now they’re lucrative craftsn! From luxurious noble lighting to commoners’ windows, and even dical factory bottles... wait! And Aileen’s urgently needed Magic Mirror!
Chun got excited: "Does Old Wall Lamp know how to make mirrors?"
Tie said: "Making mirrors isn’t difficult, I can do it too. It’s just a layer of molten silver on the back of glass, though rcury and molten tin work better, but there’s no silver on the island."
But there’s Magic Gold!
Chun asked eagerly, "What about the Magic Mirror?"
Tie was stumped, "I don’t quite understand, ask Old Wall Lamp."
As he spoke, Chun arrived at the blacksmith shop and saw the expert jeweler, Tissina "Cui," comparing sothing in front of several glass beads on wooden racks.
Chun’s attention wasn’t on the glass beads, "Are these wooden racks newly made?"
Tie said, "It’s the puppeteer artist Pinocchio who dismantled so usable furniture lumber to make them, using an axe I just forged!"
Holy Shit?? Each na is more mystifying than the last!
Chun quickly asked, "So he’s a woodworker?"
Tie laughed, "I really don’t know, artisans like to keep their unique skills a secret. Unlike us blacksmiths and jewelers who like to publicize our skills to attract more business."
Holy Shit Holy Shit! Woodworker Artisan, Glass Master, Jeweler, chanician, Grandmaster Smith, the pioneers on this island a hundred years ago were really talented!
Cui’s picky voice sounded, "Too many impurities in the lens, the focal point and focus are all wrong, it needs to be remade!"
Tie was also helpless, "Old Wall Lamp!!"
A hunched black shadow appeared, "City Lord, the conditions here are too simple, the problem is mostly that the cooling water is not clean. Rather than making magnifiers, it’s better to first make a simple glass distillation system to clean the water."
Chun imdiately agreed, "That works, no problem!"
Tie was furious, "Why didn’t Old Wall Lamp say so earlier? Wasting my coal!"
Old Wall Lamp snorted, "It’s your commission, not mine! What’s in it for ? So the distillation system should be personally commissioned by the City Lord!"
Holy Shit, I thought the Evil Spirits here were dumb enough to be solved with fists...
Tie got even angrier, "I never asked for any benefits!"
Chun was also troubled, "I don’t have any rewards to pay for the commission either?"
Old Wall Lamp said solemnly, "No benefits? Then how did he beco a Grandmaster?"
Chun got excited, "You an you want to get promoted too?"
Old Wall Lamp nodded.
It’s really a perfect match! Chun quickly asked, "Do you know how to make a Magic Mirror? Can the Magic Mirror improve your glass skills?"
Old Wall Lamp was excited, "Of course! Doesn’t the City Lord have Magic Gold? Just lt it and apply it on the glass."
Holy Shit, is it really that simple? Actually, co to think of it, inlaying the Divine Format Ring isn’t urgent, I just want Tie to keep the stuff. Instead, making the Magic Mirror to enhance Aileen’s power as a Mirror Spirit is more urgent.
Chun took out the remaining two pieces, "I have Magic Gold!"
Old Wall Lamp’s eyes, filled with swirling black smoke, instantly beca greedy and fiery, even his voice changed, "Give..mission , I can forge the Magic Mirror!"
Holy Shit, I can’t trust this state you’re in!
Cui imdiately shouted, "Old Wall Lamp is talking nonsense! How can glass beco a Magic Mirror or lead to promotion? It requires gem refining! The higher-grade, the better!"
Holy Shit, there’s indeed a trap!?
Old Wall Lamp got angry, "Where on the island is there half a gemstone? Applying it to glass might be weak, but it’s still a Magic Mirror!"
Cui sneered, "Wasting precious materials! City Lord, I know that the Black Flag Comrce Association had a ship that sank in the Wind Howling Fjord, carrying gemstones. As long as the City Lord salvages the gemstones, I can refine them into a mirror! I want to get promoted too!"
Holy Shit, triggered information, just a bit far! But it doesn’t matter, I have expert-level Sailing Technique, I can navigate hands-free automatically.
Chun urgently asked, "The exact location of the shipwreck?"
Cui smiled, "The City Lord has the Black Flag Order, which can show the assets of the association. That ship is a standard registered asset, you can find it with a quick tour. Even if there are safes on the ship, the Black Flag Order can open them too."
So the Black Flag Order can be used like this!
Old Wall Lamp got even angrier, "It’s been over a hundred years, who knows how many tis the Black Flag Order has changed hands, who knows if the shipwreck is still there?"
Cui argued, "That’s the Wind Howling Fjord, with strong winds, vortices, and rocks, who has the skills to salvage? Since the City Lord can dive deep and defeat Sli Monsters, you can definitely salvage! Doesn’t the City Lord have a small boat? Just bringing back a small boat of gemstones is enough for refining!"
Chun was instantly tempted, it makes so much sense! Right, I have Four Sea Souls, diving is no problem! The one-day cooldown for the Sea Race Personal Guard is up, I can handle a Sea Monster for a mont! And the Resentnt Beam from the Necromancer Ring, I can protect myself against regular small monsters! And two boats, I can bring even more back, won’t this make a fortune? Besides, it can promote three talents!
Tie was annoyed, "Are we still going to work on the distillation system?"
Old Wall Lamp was enthusiastic, "This is the premise of everything, it must be done! City Lord, commission , commission !"
It must be done, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!
Chun made up his mind, handing the remaining two gold pieces to Tie, "Then I’ll commission you three to form a Magic Mirror manufacturing team with Old Wall Lamp fully supervising! As for , I’ll leave the island to find gemstones. Watch out for outsiders coming to the island."
Tie solemnly accepted, "No problem!"
