The [Forger] talent brought to Mason by the Isu bloodline cannot be used to carry out the "swiping" card bug through batch production like refining arrays, and Mason must make the finished products one by one by himself.

And it's a very delicate thing.

To take the simplest example, if Mason repeatedly crafted the lowest level of gun components with his now monstrous manufacturing skills, it would be impossible to make tens of thousands of sets a day to meet the number of Forgers.

Don't ask how Mason knows.

How could a little clever ghost like him not try all kinds of bugs?

But even a guy like Mason, in his long battle with the character card system, has to admit that the person who designed and built it was a genius.

That guy perfectly circumvented most of the bugs Mason could think of, and like a very complex and complete set of proficiency formulas required to grow in character cards, it was impossible for this thing to admit that Mason had made things shoddy.

He must be able to get a valuable quantity after every "valuable" production.

The 2,000 crafting items required to break through from a first-level forger to a second-level forger can still be achieved through long-term craftsmanship.

However, the 50,000 crafting items required to forge from Level 2 to Level 3 is an exponential increase, and it is up to Mason to complete such a huge project with his hands, even if he doesn't sleep twenty-four hours a day, even if Mason completes the crafting in five minutes, it will take seven months to accumulate enough for this breakthrough.

He simply didn't have so much time to waste, and how could a person not sleep a second for seven months in a row?

He's a trailblazer and a superhero, and he's got to save the world and things like that, but luckily, Mason's mutant abilities are a kind of plug-in that isn't a cheat.

The 12 water molecules worked tirelessly to complete the huge project that would have taken more than seven months to complete in less than a month.

Just today, all the conditions required for the [Forger] talent to upgrade have been met.

At the call of Engineer Mason, all Mason's clones, including those who read "assistants" and are used as "coolies", are also summoned to the engineering lab of the Pocket Factory.

Everyone is waiting to witness the miraculous moment.

The main Mason, with his sleeves rolled up, dressed in an engineer's coat, and holding a Thunder Hammer was tapping the arm components of a production-ready Fenrir armor in front of him.

The progress bar required for the bloodline breakthrough is already stuck at the level of [49999/50000], and it only needs Mason to complete the installation of the arm component in front of him and let the Fenrir armor be assembled, and his forge talent will usher in the final upgrade.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is indeed a memorable moment.

Mason, the inscription and Mason, the tailor, had already grasped the latte art in their hands, and the other Masons watched intently at this moment, ready to cheer at the frustration of Mason, the engineer.

These guys have strange personalities, and they don't come to cheer on them.

It's just that because their "little secret" can't be hidden, they run to seize the opportunity to lick the subject, so that the subject will not be so angry.

After all, the "personal safety" and even the "existence" itself as the water body are based on the will of the subject, and Mason can be said to be in charge of life and death over the water body.

And the character of the main body is good.,It's not the kind of annoying guy.,When everyone licks and blows the rainbow fart or something, he's angry.。

"Smack"

Mason's hammer slammed into the connector with great precision, pressing it into the groove, and then took the drill from Engineer Mason's hand and tightened the last screw.

The moment his fingers left Fenrir's armor, his head dizzy, and his body shook in place a few times.

Because there is a huge amount of information pouring into the brain, it is as if some floodgates have been opened and the treasures contained in it have been poured into Mason's hands:

Name: Mason Cooper

Race: Standard Humanoids, Human Subspecies· X Gene Awakening Variant Clone: Isu Hybrid (Bloodline Concentration Soaring)

[Ingenuity] Talent changed to [Legendary Craftsman]

Talent effects are replaced by:

+2 for all manufacturing branches

This large string of text notes has been enough for Mason to check for a while, but the bigger surprises are yet to come.

After the +1 talent of the manufacturing branch granted by the Isu bloodline was increased to +2, the engineering of Lv8+1 entered Lv8+2 in an instant.

So here's the problem.

Observers, please use preschool math to calculate, 8+2=?

"Huh"

Before Mason could react, another large stream of information poured into his mind:

It is detected that the host engineering skill has reached Lv10 skill information and the judgment is passed, and the [Peak Skill] module of the character card at the end of the novice period is loaded. The upper limit of branching skills is increased to the highest Lv12 title [Divine Craftsman] to unlock.

Character trait [Erudite Engineering Master] is replaced by [Engineering Grand Master: All engineering drawings mastered by the host are shortened by 50% when crafted into physical objects, and the host's destructive power, defense, and perception are greatly increased when using their own engineering equipment. 】

When the skill of the engineering branch reaches Lv10, the final talent of the engineering branch is unlocked as [Black Technology Implementer: Gives the talent owner a special comprehension ability, so that he can learn various technologies beyond the current level of technology more quickly, and designate a black technology to increase the speed of technical comprehension.

At present, the fast learning black technology can be specified as:

Knowledge of the Law of Cause and Effect - Observer Knowledge, Digital Rate Weapon - Observer Knowledge, Cosmic Energy Frequency Regulation, Cosmic Tuning Fork, Understanding of Dimensional Multidimensional Space Model, Isu Aurora Device, Unfinished. 】

It's a very, very nice new feature, but Mason won't have time to take a closer look.

The influx of this information made him fall to the ground with a splitting headache, and several screaming Mason clones hurriedly reached out to hold him.

However, because Mason's own spirit was unstable, it directly caused the other clones to scream and turn into flowing water that swirled around Mason at this moment.

It's like a certain third prince making a mess of the engineering laboratory.

That's not what Mason intended.

But it would be really uncomfortable, a voice kept calling him, making him drowsy and difficult to control, and in the last few seconds when he tried to open his eyes but couldn't resist the call of the blood source, Mason reached out not far away, and stammered:

"Ultron. Defense program, launch! ”

"Ultron received!"

The demonized Fenrir was activated in an instant, and formed a "defense triangle" with the anxious ooze monster Kevin and the frightened Phoenix Fox, completely sealing off the suitcase factory at this moment.

And the Panama hat that was worn on Mason's head also anxiously concave a face at this moment and shouted:

"Consus! Get the hell out of here! It's your fellow Isu people doing something again! I'm warning you! If something happens to Mason, I'm not done with you!

Think more of his partners! They're going to wipe you out, don't do anything stupid! ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Hat."

Consus's data projection appeared next to the unconscious Mason, who leaned down to check on Mason's condition and said to the anxious hat:

"This is just what will inevitably happen when the Isu bloodline is fully awakened, and his ancestor sequence is trying to awaken the will of my brother Hephaestus in Mason in order to complete the personality coverage."

"Isn't that in a hurry?"

The hat yelled:

"I don't think every Isu is as decent as you, get rid of your brother, Mason's great deeds can't stop here, don't you understand?

He's from the 'outside'!

He came from outside this closed system of dying, others don't know, don't I know yet? He has been our hope for the solution from the very beginning. ”

"I knew it from the beginning, and I thought Mr. Hat was too dull to sense Mason's anomaly."

Consus smiled, put his hand on Mason's hot forehead, and said to the hat as the pixels dissipated:

"Don't worry, I promise Mason won't be hurt by Hephaestus, I promise!"

——

"You're calling me?"

At this time, in Mason's mental world, the Isu visions that had appeared twice reappeared, but this moment was no longer an abrupt entry into a certain memory belonging to the Isu craftsman Hephaestus, but more like reconstructing the scene in the mental world.

Dressed in a trench coat, Mason stands in front of an eerie launch pad with hundreds of crafted Isu apples about to be launched out of the world.

He could see the Isu directing the servants of the hominids, who were so respectful that they didn't even dare to lift their heads, to put the items back into place, while the Isu Athena was standing in front of the launch pad for a final inspection.

Mason also saw Hephaestus, the god of fire and forging.

The latter seemed to be out of place with the others, and at this important moment 70,000 years ago, he stayed quietly on the periphery away from the crowd, as if waiting to meet someone across time.

"Yes, I'm calling you."

The man replied.

This was the first time Mason had seen Hephaestus' face from a third-person perspective, and it was not similar to Mason's, with the same overly fair skin and intelligent eyes as Consus.

The long-term craftsmanship made him burly, like the legendary blacksmith god.

"Is your consciousness about to awaken?"

Mason was not too anxious or frightened, as soon as he stretched out his hand, a cigarette jumped into his hand and was held to his mouth, and he asked curiously:

"Are you going to use my body to complete the 'resurrection'?"

"No, I don't have the intention of doing so."

Hephaestus raised his pure white ribbon and draped it over his shoulders, and turned back to look no longer at the launch pad where the Isu golden apple was about to be launched, he turned his head to look at Mason, and said:

"It was a failed design."

"No, it doesn't fail, it can only be said to be incomplete."

Mason corrected:

"It still protected your world for 70,000 years, but now it's old and in dire need of an upgrade.

I know that you and Athena have designed an upgrade process for the Aurora Device, just because you don't have enough time to push the design to the final stages. ”

"That's the problem, I guess you're asking me for the blueprints for the next upgrade of the Aurora device?"

The god of forging sighed, spread his hands, and said to Mason empty-handed:

"But unfortunately, I don't have the wisdom to design a creation that can stop the disaster, and you will go home empty-handed, my future successor."

"I guessed it."

Mason spat out the smoke ring and said:

"I guessed this result after the last time I took apart the internal structure of the aurora device at the Grand Temple in New York, you left redundant space for upgrades, but you didn't set up corresponding functional partitions for it.

This means that you know it needs to be upgraded, but there is no direction.

Not even a single inspiration.

But if you borrow my body and resurrect it, you still have time to reset this system, I'm not tempting you, but the truth is, you can fight me for control of your body right now if you want. ”

"I can't come up with a design."

Hephaestus shook his head and said to Mason:

"It's useless to take your body, but if I give up the resurrection, it means that you will be able to use your astonishing wisdom to help us with this final escalation.

So."

He took a step back, smiled and said to Mason:

"I give up the resurrection! Mason Cooper, I will not interfere with your cause, and I hope that the knowledge and wisdom I have left behind will help you accomplish what we were unable to accomplish 70,000 years ago.

Do you know?

I've been watching you.

I was 'awake' when your veins exceeded 8%, but I didn't interfere with any of your decisions, like a ghost like Consus who has been silently watching your actions and your decisions.

I'm sure enough of that.

You are more worthy than I am to live in the dark age in which you live, and it requires not a failed craftsman, but a brilliant leader. ”

"You think so highly of me?"

Mason raised his eyebrows in surprise and said:

"To be honest, I'm a little flattered."

"I'm just making a judgment about your future, in fact, you're still a little bit away from being 'outstanding', just a little bit close."

The god of forging smiled and made a gesture of "fingertip universe", which made him lose the market and win Mason's favor.

The captain laughed and said:

"You don't have to do these two dilemmas, I can help you temporarily parasitize in the Isu Shroud like Consus, so that you can see the future with your own eyes.

Truth be told, I also need a good engineering assistant. ”

"But I'm tired, Mason."

Without hesitation, the Vulcan shook his head in refusal, and he looked at a tall figure in the crowd, it was his wife, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, sex, and navigation.

No matter how discredited the couple's private lives may be in other myths, at least in Isu mythology, their presence is the highest praise for the concept of love.

He waved his hand at Mason and said as he walked up to his countrymen:

"I've tried, I've tried, I've failed, my story ended 70,000 years ago, and my wife's eternal sleep before the end of the world is not an unacceptable ending.

My wife and I are not seeking to be resurrected in a time that is not mine.

That's pointless.

I have always believed that the existence of life itself is worthless, and living for the sake of living is not the life I pursue, only the beautiful stories created with life as a carving knife are worth remembering.

My life is legendary enough, I die without regrets, my wonderful has come to an end and your life has just begun, I have no reason and no reason to want to interrupt the birth of a new legend.

Fate has treated me well, and I can't ask for more.

I meet with you today only to say my final goodbye and to tell you of the blessings of the God of Forging, and now that I have said that, it is time for you to move on, Mason.

My best apprentice. ”

"Well, you're going to go far away and I can't repay you."

Mason took a step back.

Looking at the rapidly disappearing picture in front of him, he stood in place and leaned forward, and said in a respectful tone:

"Farewell, mentor I first met."
