Chapter 6 Fang Yuan's New Toy

In the Craftsman Office, Fang Yu first updated his too outdated identity information, upgrading from the original third-order Silver Star Craftsman (level 3) to a first-order Venus Craftsman (level 14). The Silver Star and Venus Artisan System is a set of alchemist grading standards commonly used by Kaulin-Ishurian and even Kukai - among them, Silver Star Artisans mostly refer to those alchemists who are between formal and informal craftsmen, and of course include a large army of apprentices.

Compared with the Summoner system, Silver Star has one rank per level, one to three of which is the apprentice rank, and although it can be called a formal alchemist after four stars, it is still a newcomer who is not in the stream within the Craftsman Association. However, for any contemporary town run by magic technology, maintaining a large group of Silver Star Artisans is essential.

The Silver Star craftsman is like a precision-constructed piece of large and small parts, seemingly insignificant, but in fact indispensable; What's more, these people are still the reserve of formal craftsmen, and any outstanding craftsman will inevitably go through such a stage.

After level 10, the alchemist can only get the first gold star, but there are only five gold stars, one order for every ten levels, and the five-star craftsman is basically enough to serve as the head of the department of the craftsman general association in any place. Further up, there are no ranks, there are only three titles, the Great Craftsman, the Great Alchemist, and the Legendary Alchemist.

Like all other professional guilds, rank symbolizes prestige, but there are many practical benefits, such as free access to knowledge and skills. Fang Yuan missed an opportunity in Al Pahin, and naturally he won't miss it again here-

However, the leap from a third-order Silver Star craftsman to a first-order Venus craftsman naturally caused a lot of sensation, and the staff came to see who was sacred, and there was no update of identity information for more than ten levels.

This kind of person is either a madman or a genius, which is basically equivalent to the behavior of the Shilipo Sword Master in some ancient games.

Fortunately, this is the royal capital, although such a thing is rare, but it is not unprecedented, after a period of curiosity, the crowd dispersed, and to Fang Yuan's relief, no one recognized him.

The staff in charge of receiving them was an elf lady from Evan Quinn, about the same age as Princess Brian, who glanced curiously at the fairy lady on his shoulder before asking:

"Need skills and knowledge?"

Fang Yu nodded: "Naturally." "That's what he's here for.

He showed a table with some of the blueprints he needed, starting with the 'Screaming Banshee', 'Ts-1 Lurker', and 'Engineering Machine' flexible builds.

The 'Screaming Banshee' is a flexible construct developed on the Clockwork Elf base type, which is about a foot long and is between the Clockwork Elf and the Annihilator QV700, resembling a thin-waisted wasp, but instead of a tail pin, it carries seven levitating bombs.

Its properties are as follows:

'Screaming Banshee [Basic Type] (Gear Level, E Rank)'

Basic Attributes: Attack 11-16, Melee Hit 113, Balance 172 (Flight Level: Dexterity)

Protection Attributes: Armor 4, Durability 22, Evasion 450, Block 4

Core attributes: output power 112/170M (flight power system 41, precision member 15, branch system 17, cooling system 32, other 7), allowable overload (11 seconds), core calorific value: 22/220

The dead weight is 13Kg, the combat load is 5kg

Weapons: Needle Prick, 7X Levitation Bomb (up to 4 seconds in the air [adjustable], 3-7 damage (ignores shields and armor), 5 meters radius, inflicts 1 second stun), or 2X Flash Grenade (15 meters radius anti-stealth)

Skillset –

Dive Bomb Drop: When diving bomb, increases Accuracy by 50% and Core Heat +7

Rapid Balance: Balance returns to full value within 2 seconds, cools down for 3 minutes, and generates +30 cores

The idea of this thing is actually a small bomber, of course, the damage is far less than that of the fire djinn, but the 1 second stun of the levitating bomb (without immunity) and the anti-stealth of the flashbang are particularly useful, and it is also one of the most commonly used special builds for combat tinkerers.

After Fang Yu and his party personally experienced the power of the stealth potion in the underground of the Black Holy City, they became interested in this thing, if the stealth was on their own side, it would be too uncomfortable if they did not have a suitable countermeasure on the opponent's side.

The Screaming Banshee itself is very expensive, about the same as the cost of the Angels, but the levitation bomb she carries is very cheap, about one-sixth the size of the Clockwork Elf, and can be equipped in large quantities. As for the glitter, it is slightly more expensive, but it is still within the acceptable range.

Then the computing power occupation of this thing is 62, and after being depressed to half, it is only 31, and only a little more than half of the original value of the 102 Angel (if not indicated, it is the original value of the basic computing power occupation), which is also within his tolerance. And after he jumped up five or six levels this time, his computing power would also increase significantly.

The other two types of builds, the 'Ts-1 Lurker' and the 'Engineering Machine', are also special builds, the 'Ts-1 Lurker' is actually an allomorphic walker, similar to his 'Sword Plover' build, whose main function is to generate a gravity trap equivalent to the Annihilator QV700 within its own range.

And although this thing is very fragile and its attributes are not worth mentioning, it has a very high mimicry ability, and the concealment value is explosive at this level, which can be called a movable treacherous thunder on the battlefield.

Unexpected situations can often have some unexpected key effects. And because it is a castrated version of the QV700, the computing power occupation is only 32 (16), which is only slightly higher than the clockwork fairy.

Although its price is comparable to that of the Clockwork Fairy II, it is not unacceptable if it can be recycled after World War I.

As for the 'Engineering Machine', it is actually a large clockwork goblin, similar in appearance and control, but it is larger than the average clockwork goblin, and the flight level has also dropped from the highest level of 'perfect' to 'dexterous'.

The Engineer is the Healer of Flexible Builds, but it can only be used to repair Flexible Builds and slowly restore their durability. And because the repair distance is more than 60 feet away, there is no need for physical contact, so the callers often call it 'remote repair'.

This thing is actually a kind of build similar to the fairy envoy, and the computing power is extremely high, and the basic type is as high as 150, but due to its significant effect, and after adding some components, it can even be used to remotely accelerate the main crystal of other flexible builds, or Electors - so it is also one of the necessary flexible builds for combat craftsmen after a certain level.

This level was generally level 17 to 20 for other Electors, but Fang Yu relied on his own calculation power to pervert, and when he had sufficient cognitive experience, he simply obtained it in advance.

In addition to the three special builds, he also asked if the Office had the 'Shadow Blade' and 'Overseer' builds, both of which were also special builds, but were even rarer.

But not surprisingly, two rare design drawings are missing, which is also an old problem of the craftsman's association, some uncommon flexible construction, components and design drawings are always not replenished in time, and some even only replenish once in a few years.

It is not for nothing that the Kaurin-Ishurian Artisan Craftsmen's Association can make the merchant alliance come from behind and fight against it in the Cloud Sea region.

But there's really nothing to complain about, because at least the guild blueprints are almost free among the members. Although the things of the business alliance are good, but you get what you pay for, as for the trade-off between the two, it depends on the individual.

And the reason why Fang Yu chose to supplement the design drawings of so many special types of equipment was actually because his frontal combat effectiveness was basically satisfied.

With the 'Power Angel' and 'Fire Djinn', the 15 to 20 stages are completely over. And since there are many subordinate chapters of Silver Westland, the 'Angel of Energy' is actually not uncommon in the First World, and he can use it with confidence, without worrying about being too eye-catching.

As for the 'Fire Djinn', it really needs to be hidden, and it can only be used at critical times, or in a different form. Fortunately, he still has a higher-level Dreadnought - that is, there is still a deal to be completed with Princess Sophie, and the Dreadnought's alternate 'Elfin's Twins has not yet been delivered.

If you get this thing, then the temporary absence of the 'Fire Djinn' is not unacceptable.

In the case of sufficient frontal combat power, Fang Yu naturally needs to make up for control and recovery, and there are some means of survival - especially when he is at a lower level and may face a higher-level opponent from the Descendant of Flor at any time, survivability is particularly important.

His plan was to maximize survivability, and the 'Shadow Blade' and 'Overseer' he chose were actually born for this purpose. It's just that since there are no two types of drawings here, Fang Yu can naturally only turn to the Shang Alliance to see if there are any alchemy shops distributed in the port area.

In fact, he still lacks a type of flexible construction of the remote output class, but Fang Yu has not found his favorite product at this level for the time being, and the attempt of the Walker II type 'fortress' has also failed, so he can only plan to wait a little longer.

In addition to the design drawings of the flexible construction, Fang Yuan's second thing was naturally to replace the magic furnace.

More advanced flexible builds also require the support of a more powerful Master Crystal, and while he has already completed the β state of a Crystal, which he and Miss Tata call Holy Crystal, the maximum output of his original Kingfisher αAE Magic Furnace is no longer able to support this more powerful crystal.

However, Fang Yu didn't plan to directly buy the finished magic furnace this time, he planned to make one himself, which was also due to the special reason that his own computing power was huge, which led to the need for the magic furnace to have a super magic output in order to support his huge construction army.

As a result, he can use only the special models, which are either difficult to obtain or expensive.

The Kingfisher αAE Magic Furnace is actually a special model of Magic Furnace, but the level is lower, so its price is still acceptable to the team of Attila and others. But if it is more advanced, fifteen or twenty, the price of those special varieties of magic furnaces is not something that Fang Yu can imagine.

Although the team now has some money, he has not forgotten the fact that they still have to build their own boats, and if this is also counted, the actual asset situation of their team is still worrying.

There are many types of craftsmen, and most of the battle craftsmen do not produce their own magic furnaces, except for one type of craftsman. That's the crystal craftsmen, and it's their job to design and build the magic furnace.

If Fang Yu wants to be a shipwright, he naturally has to deal with the core part of the floating ship, the lift engine and the magic engine, and these two things are actually a kind of large magic furnace. Therefore, the shipwright, in fact, must first and foremost be a professional crystal craftsman, and he naturally established his route as a master craftsman early on.

Of course, he wasn't arrogant enough to be below the fifteenth level, so he planned to design a professional magic guide furnace. His plan was to directly use the traditional magic furnaces that were already in the guild, although they were the oldest models, he at least had one advantage-

That is, Fang Yu found his craftsman production system, and the probability of making things is extremely high. The basic model of a traditional fifteenth-level craftsman magic guide furnace with a quality level of only E will naturally not be able to meet his needs, but if the quality reaches A or even higher, it will be another matter. It is not for nothing that the refined equipment on the market is so expensive.

In addition to the design drawings, there are also relevant theories, including the special structures he asked for before, which also need the support of relevant basic theories before they can be used. Among them, the Screaming Banshee and the Engineering Machine require the Basic Theory of Special Flexible Construction and Manipulation D-level, the Infiltrator Ts-1 needs the 'Gravity Manipulation' Class E, and the Engineering Machine also needs the 'Remote Maintenance' skill.

Coupled with some theoretical knowledge and skills related to shipbuilding, Lin Lin also made a long list on that piece of paper, and Fang Yu gained a full 570,000 experience in the entire incident of Fenris and his party, which was enough for him to directly improve from nearly level nine to half level fourteen.

The skills to be learned in between are naturally not one or two.

However, the so-called collection of skills is not that the craftsman office provides him with a mountain of materials and asks him to take it away. Not to mention that Fang Yu didn't take so many books and documents with him, and the craftsman's office was not wide enough to provide everyone with so many documents and materials for free.

Therefore, in fact, the process of receiving a skill from the Elector is actually a copy of the original provided by the craftsman's office, and then copied by the recipient through the Caller system, and the whole process of copying a skill is nothing more than the time to scan the book page by page, which is as short as one or two minutes or as long as about a quarter of an hour.

Of course, it's not completely free, and you still need to pay a certain fee - but compared to the original price of these knowledge and skills, this fee is equivalent to nothing.

In addition, through systematic transcription, it is equivalent to the process of learning these skills and improving to F-level proficiency, so it also takes cognitive experience, depending on the needs of different skills. This is still the advantage of the elector, in the case of aborigines, the means of borrowing can only be gradual.

Because it was a loan, it was naturally impossible to take the original out of the location of the artisan association, so the aboriginal alchemists rarely left the vicinity of the town.

However, the aborigines are not useless compared to the drafters, who learn and use skills with the help of the system, but do not actually understand the basis and theory, and only demonstrate their abilities through the framework of the drafters. In practice, the electors are far less flexible than the aborigines, and are often more dogmatic and rigid.

So there has been a widespread rumor in Aitaria that at the same level, the Chosen Ones are actually inferior to the natives. And this rumor seems to be true today, and the only advantage of the Elector seems to be that the victory is to upgrade faster.

However, in recent years, Xingmen Harbor also seems to be aware of this flaw in the Elector system, and is increasingly encouraging Callers to see the system only as an auxiliary tool. Go back more and make up the basics, so don't be surprised to see a Elector holding a thick book of so-and-so basic theories and reading them with relish.

In fact, Fang Plover and Ji Ta are like this most of the time in their daily lives—but the little naturalists from the Knights of Tapolis mostly read some anecdotes, naturalist encyclopedias, and geographical chronicles from all over the world.

The former, on the other hand, is a process that is boring for ordinary people, but it is a pleasure for Fang Yuan, who has the experience of a real apprentice in Kapka.

And you can also gain some cognitive experience from reading, although it is not much, but it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

What he didn't even realize was that, under the influence of Miss Scarpet, those six months seemed to him to be more or less wasteful, but it laid an important foundation.

His greatest strength, in fact, was that compared to the other Elector Alchemists, he had undergone a complete, unsystematic apprenticeship in Rodale, and in this respect, he was not much different from a native.

The materials brought to the hall by the staff were broadly divided into two categories, one was more ancient books, and some were record crystals that resembled communication crystals, and stacks of design drawings.

Because Fang Yuan's upgrade span is too large, he also asks for a lot of information at one time, especially the design drawings are usually not a single one, but a thick stack, some even one or several boxes, these books and crystals with human height are piled together, and they actually occupy a small corner in the hall for a while.

It's breathtaking.

Just reading these documents, even if it is just to scan them, naturally it will take a lot of time, because the time of convergence has been set in advance, so Fang Yu did not dare to stay longer, so he seized the time and began to gnaw on the book. There he flipped through the pages of documents and blueprints, not at all like he was reading, but more like the big guys in some traditional libraries in the past.

Pretending to be a top student-

The more the surrounding staff came and went, they had to cast a curious glance at it, and among them, there were a few alchemists who came to do business, and they couldn't help but be startled when they saw the mountain of information on Fang Yuan's side.

"I'm afraid this person is crazy, isn't he?"

"Seeing so much at once, does he have so much cognitive experience?"

"I'm afraid it's not going to be promoted several levels in a row, this person can't even pretend to be forced, he's really mentally retarded!"

These discussions more or less reached Fang Yuan's ears, leaving him speechless for a while, but what can be done? I don't know if it's too good luck or bad luck, he actually encountered two major events in a row, coupled with his low level, so he coincidentally appeared such a leapfrog upgrade.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is indeed a bit unbelievable.

Sylvide listened to these people talking, but she was not bored, and sat opposite Fang Yu with her cheeks crossed, only looking at him curiously, and her eyes did not move.

This silent interaction between the two lasted silently for several hours, and Fang Yu barely finished recording the last piece of information before he straightened up and let out a sigh of relief. Glancing at the sky, he saw that it was almost noon and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and he motioned for the staff to put away the last part of the crystal and blueprints, and asked Sylvid if he wanted to go and eat something together.

Sylvide smiled slightly, and naturally nodded slightly.
