139: 【Sink Gear Spark】

(Big thanks to all the bosses for their strong support. I pay my respects here. I only found out at noon that it made it onto the reading charts yesterday... It's my third book. I've been on the new book charts before, but this is my first time on the reading charts! So happy! Thank you!)

11:00 PM!

Xu Shian looked at the robot in front of him, feeling a bit stunned!

It was a bit of a stretch to even call this thing a robot.

It could only be described as a product that merely had the shape of one; aside from its human-like size, everything else about it felt more like a piece of Engineering equipment!

Clumsy three-fingered hands, a tracked chassis for movement, and a dull neck that seemed heavy even just to turn...

He looked at its description.

【 Myriad Forms Base Plate (To Be Named) 】

Function: A basic version of an intelligent (robot) that can help you sweep the floor and wipe tables! (Note: It can only sweep floors and wipe tables.)

【 Loadable Modules: Head Module, Eye Module, Mouth Module, Shoulder Module, Arm Module, Chest Module, Waist Module, Leg Module, Foot Module 】

【 Loadable Abilities: 3 】

【 Note 1: The Myriad Forms Base Plate is unique and cannot be obtained repeatedly! 】

【 Note 2: All parts of the Myriad Forms Base Plate can be replaced with higher-grade energy components! 】

【 Note 3: An inferior energy core can charge the 'Myriad Forms Base Plate' for one hour, providing 30 minutes of usage; adding new modules will reduce usage time. 】

Seeing that it could only wipe tables and sweep floors, Xu Shian felt blood rush to his head; not even a cerebral thrombosis could have stopped his blood from surging.

After all, the materials for this thing required 500 copper ingots, 50 bolts...

Not to mention anything else, just the production cost was ridiculously absurd!

It can only wipe tables and sweep floors?

Are you crazy, or am I crazy?

Although that was what the description said, Xu Shian still thought there might be more to it hidden in the ellipsis!

Fortunately, there was a twist afterwards...

Modules...

Xu Shian took out a blueprint he had kept for a long time!

【 Construction Diagram: Module, Profound Mechanism Arm 】

Effect: Creates a mechanical arm that can be used to load Engineering creations, suitable for the maintenance of equipment and devices!

Requirements: Iron Ingot * 20, High-Speed Bronze Gear * 5, Clockwork Synchronous Spiral Coordinator * 2, Hydraulic Oil * 3, Medium Leather * 20

...

He had originally intended to go to sleep early, but after seeing this, he couldn't sleep at all!

It requires Engineering Level 120 to learn!

Xu Shian's current Engineering level is 94.

Engineering must be leveled up today!

In fact, the 【 Mechanical Graveyard 】 is a paradise for Engineering.

The mechanical monsters inside can all be dismantled using Engineering!

It's a pity that Xu Shian's Engineering level isn't high enough!

Otherwise, things like 【 A Bolt 】 and 【 High-Speed Bronze Gear 】 could be dismantled from the defeated Engineering creations...

Xu Shian estimated that there would be even more good things to dismantle from the final BOSS!

If he just went over today and simply beat them to death to get some drops and experience points, it would be putting the cart before the horse!

But there was no help for it!

In a game world, you have to follow the game rules.

If your skill level isn't high enough, it just won't let you dismantle it; what can you do?

Actually, there is still a way!

【 Construction Diagram: Simple Throwing Bomb 】

Effect: A no-brainer throwing bomb for players who know nothing about Engineering, causing 260 points of fire damage to all targets within a five-meter radius!

Requirements: Crude Gunpowder * 4, Wool Cloth.

This item is exactly 100 points, and once made, he wouldn't have to worry about it not selling after putting it out!

Judging from Xu Shian's Craftsmanship Special Effect, it would surely add various fire damage bonuses...

The only downside to this thing is that it has no crowd control effect!

But if the damage is high enough, who needs anything else?

Calculating it, he still needs quite a bit of money later!

He needs to earn money...

But earning money isn't an urgent matter right now; better to go to sleep, it's already twelve o'clock!

...

"You got it done so quickly?"

Xu Shian had underestimated the capabilities of this intelligence black market.

He hadn't expected that after deciding to take a day off the next day to raise his Engineering to 100, he would decide to spend the day at the inn crafting 【 Simple Throwing Bomb 】.

Unexpectedly, he received news that they had bought a Goblin in the afternoon!

That night, Xu Shian once again came to the black market via 【 Ink-Dyed Pavilion 】.

Looking at the Goblin in front of him, Xu Shian felt that something wasn't quite right everywhere!

"Is this guy... an adult?"

To be honest, all Goblins looked the same to Xu Shian...

Basically, he couldn't tell them apart at all!

Of course, except for the really fat ones...

Then again, in a race like the Goblins that would scrape the bones for marrow and squeeze out every last copper coin, being skin and bones was the norm!

"His name is 【 Sink · Gear Spark 】, he is an adult, he was sold to us by his parents..."

Xu Shian: ...

What a truly unsettling race! Just hearing about it made his scalp tingle!

If this were a human, Xu Shian would have gone to kill his whole family...

Not for the sake of morality, but because this kind of thing just made one feel very uncomfortable!

To clear his mind, he would have to kill them!

"He's an adult and still got sold by his parents?"

"He... is considered an Engineering engineer. When he was making Engineering creations at home, they exploded one after another. Not only did he use up all his own savings, but it also caused heavy losses to his family! He has to pay his parents back..."

Wow...

"Hey, let me tell you, although I've been sold to you, if you want to order Sink around, that's an extra price!"

The green-skinned Goblin saw the two of them whispering there and directly spoke up to express his dissatisfaction.

Neither Xu Shian nor Luli paid him any mind.

The so-called 'those not of our race must have a different heart'!

Xu Shian looked at this little Goblin with the same mindset as looking at cargo!

Of course, although Luli wasn't a pure Human, she was pretty!

Isn't beauty justice?

"How is his talent?"

"Not bad... A-grade Professional Manufacturing Talent! 20% chance to gain an extra finished product, 10% chance to increase the tier of the crafted item!"

Xu Shian nodded! This talent was good, and when combined with the passive effect from Xu Shian's 【 Im Really Not a GM! 】 talent, it was a pretty perfect match!

Since the talent was quite compatible, once he was raised for a long time, he would be spared the trouble of changing later!

Not to mention anything else, just Wu Lun's side had made Xu Shian hesitate several times!

This 【 Sink · Gear Spark 】 was worth 500 gold. After Xu Shian paid the remaining 450 gold, he could take the person away!

"Hey!"

Hearing Luli's call from behind, Xu Shian turned back in surprise.

"Once you take a person out of this door, you'll have to be responsible for what happens afterward..."

"I understand that, no refunds after leaving the counter, right?"

He turned back and thought for a moment!

"But I bought this Goblin; what if someone comes looking for him later?"

"Kill them! Do I need to teach you that? You aren't planning on reasoning with them, are you?"

Sink, who was beside them, curled his lips in disdain.

"Rest assured, we Goblins value integrity and contractual spirit the most. Since an agreement has been reached, it's impossible for us to go back on it!"

Heh!

Xu Shian actually laughed out loud!

Although he hadn't learned the specifics of the Goblins in this world, bro, you don't even need to ask around... the reputation of the Goblin race is practically rotten across the heavens, okay?

He didn't bother wasting any more breath on this guy.

He looked at the slave collar hanging around the other's neck...

This thing isn't safe!

【 soul sand grains: 125948 】

This is safer...
