Chapter 774: Khorium Ore



Dawn did not restrict players from insulting NPCs. If an NPC initiated a fight and you were able to overpower him, you could take their loot.

However, most NPCs were definitely not stupid. Linken hesitated for a moment and decided to give the carving blade to Lu Li. According to the system rules, when players finished a quest, there had to be a reward regardless.

System: Completed the imbuement of the sword. Gained experience, fame, gold and Linken’s carving blade.

The experience, fame and gold that was rewarded was pitiful. Only the carving blade was worth anything in Lu Li’s eyes.

Linken’s carving blade (Special): Agility +15, Carving speed +20%, Carving success rate +10%, Durability 75/75.

Out of the many tools that would be useful for Professions, this was one of the best. Not even Lu Li had heard of a better tool, both in this life and his previous one.

Of course, this Carving Blade would never be able to match up to Lu Li’s hammer.

Cresso’s Hammer (Special): Strength +20, Forging speed +30%, Forging success rate +20%, Rank +1, Owned by Lu Li, Durability 100/100

The differences in properties were obvious. Furthermore, the Rank +1 in Cresso’s Hammer made it incomparable to anything else; it was truly an invaluable treasure. However, Lu Li did not have any complaints about the Carving Blade and was extremely content with it.

The most time-consuming aspect of Engineering was not smelting ore or modelling and putting the contraptions together.

If one item took 10 minutes to make, eight of these 10 minutes would be spent on the carving process. If the carving speed was increased by 20%, it would save more than a minute at the very least.

Furthermore, there was also the increase in success rate. Usually, if there was a mistake in the process of carving, it was best to just leave it as it is and not bother with fixing it.

Unless you were an Engineering master, it would all be a waste of time.

"Next, I would like you to help me recover my memories," Linken said as he confidently grasped his sword.

From his perspective, he was the one giving the quest, and the players only had the option of slaving away for experience and rewards.

Unfortunately, Lu Li was clearly not that type of person. He put away the carving blade, glanced at him in contempt and lazily said, "I’m sorry, I have no time to play with you. You can go and amuse yourself."

Linken was filled with rage and his face became extremely red.

Players would try and gain favour with the NPCs simply because of what they could gain from them. As soon as experience and rewards no longer attracted them, they would no longer care.

Lu Li packed up his things and boldly left the camp.

Linken’s quest was known as a ’bait’ quest. In the beginning, people would think that there might be some good rewards after completing it. However, they would quickly realize that it was a fruitless endeavour, apart from the Carving Blade.

Being a player who had undergone rebirth, Lu Li obviously would not go and complete the quests. He only wanted the Carving Blade that was rewarded at the very start of the quest.

Now that he had the Carving Blade, he was free to do whatever he wanted.

The Gnomish Poultryizer was known as a luxury product in Engineering. Compared to the Explosive Sheep that Lu Li had created, this was much more intricate and complicated. As soon as it malfunctioned, it would instantly be rendered useless, and the materials would not be able to be recovered.

Lu Li withdrew 10 different materials from his storage and lined them up on his workstation, then switched off all external channels.

The Gnomish Poultryizer consisted of three parts – a Hardened Adamantite Tube, the Khorium Power Core and the main structure, along with some pieces on the outside.

The main part was the Khorium Power Core. Khorium Ore Nuggets were smelted to make a Khorium Bar, which would then have an Engineering Circle carved into it. After activating the circle, energy would begin to flow out.

The Hardened Adamantite Tubes were used to harness the energy, which could then be directed towards the target.

Lu Li carefully adjusted the temperature of the furnace, removing the impurities from the Khorium Ore. This process was actually quite easy, which was completely different to real life.

Purifying ore was a large industry in the real world.

In the game, it had become simplified to the point of triviality. Very soon, a solidifying bar of Khorium appeared in front of him. The gold colour had a soft, white lustre and it was extremely hot.

This was the result of releasing the energy. Khorium ore was definitely the most suited to making the power core.

As Dawn sprung up, internet slang also appeared with it. Among these terms, there was one that said, "So bright that it blinds my Khorium eyes," which signified a blinding, awe-inspiring feeling.

Lu Li first tried using a normal Carving Blade. This type of Carving Blade that could be bought in the shops was quite inefficient. Even after exerting a lot of pressure, it barely made a scratch.

The clarity of the line would not only affect the success rate, but would also affect the overall use of the product.

As soon as he changed to Linken’s carving blade, he felt an obvious increase in accuracy and sharpness. Lu Li was extremely happy. If it gave bonuses like this, the increase in speed would be far more than 20%.

After drawing the Engineering Circle over the Khorium bar, the original light had disappeared. Only after activating the bar would the original light appear once again. Furthermore, the Engineering Circles were not only used for controlling energy. Lu Li could not explain it, but he reasoned that there had to be something in there that could turn a living being into a chicken.

After this, the Hardened Adamantite Tube was crafted. First, he smelted the ore down into a liquid, and poured it to cool in a mould.

An Engineering Circle also needed to be carved onto the Hardened Adamantite Tube. However, it was simpler than the one on the Khorium Power Core because Adamantite was softer and more malleable.

Lu Li made another 10 Hardened Adamantite Tubes in one go, since he would need them later.

As he completed more and more of these carvings, he became more efficient.

After that, there were some small parts to make – the shell, ignition device, glue, etc. The last step was putting it all together, which was followed by troubleshooting if necessary.

Lu Li closely examined each part of the machine and began to assemble them once he felt reasonably confident.

It was good that Lu Li had possessed enough materials instead of being like his former poor self. He was quite excited and his heart was rapidly racing. After all, this was something made out of Khorium. If it failed, he would lose a lot of gold coins.

Tens of gold coins would equate to an average person’s salary over one or two months.

System: Congratulations, you have successfully created a Gnomish Poultryizer. Engineering Experience +1.
