181: Awaken the Soul Imprisoning Skill! Gun Manufacturing Workshop!

“So this is what a recipe is!”

Su Lie said, surprised.

He had thought it would be like the other manufacturing blueprints he had obtained before, where as long as the materials were prepared, using the recipe would guarantee immediate success.

He didn't expect that he would need to bake it himself.

This job... He grabbed the recipe and handed it directly to Su Liya: "Liya! You should learn this recipe! We have plenty of meat here, so practice a lot, and once you master it, bake it for me to eat!"

“Hehe! Thank you for the master's reward!”

Su Liya's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took the recipe with both hands, clutching it like a treasure, her eyes filled with fervent excitement.

Following that.

She quickly picked up the boiled pumpkin and said eagerly: “Master! This is pumpkin I boiled using Exorcism Holy Water and a little salt! Please try it as an after-meal snack!”

“That was thoughtful of you!”

Su Lie patted Su Liya's hand, took the pumpkin, and carefully tasted a few pieces.

The pumpkin itself had a milky sweetness, and with the addition of salt, the flavor became even fresher and sweeter.

Moreover, the pumpkin was especially glutinous to eat.

“Mhm! Good! Good! Good! Liya! I'll teach you a way to cook pumpkin!”

Su Lie looked up at Su Liya and instructed contentedly: “Cut an opening at the top of the pumpkin, scoop out all the seeds inside, then fill it with rice, and add water! Once the sugar workshop produces white granulated sugar, you can add an appropriate amount of white granulated sugar!”

“Pumpkin prepared this way is both sweet and has the fragrance of rice!”

...Su Liya's eyes brightened upon hearing this, and she couldn't help but swallow.

Just by listening to Su Lie's description, she could imagine that this kind of pumpkin rice would definitely be extremely delicious.

She quickly wrote down every word Su Lie said and secretly made plans to prepare the delicacy Su Lie had described.

Just as Su Lie finished eating all the pumpkin in the bowl, a notification suddenly jumped into his view.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations! You have successfully awakened the red god-tier Ghost Skill: Soul Imprisonment!]

[Soul Imprisonment: red god-tier; Imprisons Undead Race souls whose Spirit attribute is lower than yours in a special item.

Note: Items such as gourds and pouches are preferred for imprisoning Undead Race souls, but materials like jade and crystal may also be used for Soul Imprisonment.]

“A Skill for imprisoning Undead Race souls? What good are the captured specters and evil Spirits? Are they used to refine soul pills?”

Su Lie couldn't help but blink upon seeing this.

This Skill was both useful and not very useful to him.

The 'useless' part meant that the monsters like Undying and phantoms in the area where he was currently located had already been mostly cleared out.

Furthermore, they had now entered the Blazing Flame Disaster period.

The remaining Undying and phantoms were even harder to catch.

The reason it was useful was because...

...Su Lie had obtained a batch of Vengeful Spirit Walnuts from the Night Demon Rat Clan, which could summon Vengeful Spirits and fierce ghosts, and after Enhance, could even summon a Ghost King.

He was also currently raising a Soul Spirit Tree that fed on energy.

Once the tree got hungry, he could leverage the might of the Soul Spirit Tree, use the Soul Imprisonment Skill, and capture some Vengeful Spirits and fierce ghosts as backup materials.

Thinking of this.

Su Lie took out the manufacturing blueprint for the Firearms Workshop again.

[Firearms Workshop Manufacturing Blueprint: Normal Quality; Using this blueprint, a comprehensive workshop capable of modifying and manufacturing firearms, related components, and ammunition can be constructed. Area: 100 square meters;

Construction Requirements: Requires 100 square meters of vacant space within the Shelter.

Construction Materials: 5,000 units of Stone, 5,000 units of wood, 5,000 units of iron, 1,000 units of monster crystal.

Note: The Firearms Workshop cannot be independent of the Shelter; a separate space must be partitioned from within the Shelter for its use.

Note: The Firearms Workshop is incapable of assembly-line manufacturing of firearms.

Note: Although the Firearms Workshop can manufacture firearms, the materials required for manufacturing must be prepared by you.]

“Does it require 100 square meters of space?”

Su Lie looked at the blueprint and gazed up at the first floor of the Shelter.

Although the Shelter's area had expanded, he did not plan to arrange other facilities on the first floor.

He planned to establish a reception hall and other functional areas here.

As for manufacturing rooms like the Firearms Workshop...

...they needed to be placed upstairs.

“The second floor!”

After thinking, Su Lie decided on the construction floor and area.

The combat meeting room on the second floor was used for the Chess Piece Squad and the Exploration Squad to discuss tactics.

The Firearms Workshop would be arranged next to the combat meeting room.

This would make it convenient for Su Lie to teach the Chess Piece Squad and the Exploration Squad some basic firearm knowledge.

Thinking of this.

Su Lie took his storage pouch and went up to the second floor.

He delineated a 10-by-10 meter area on the side of the combat meeting room door.

After stacking the materials in the area.

He immediately used the manufacturing blueprint.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye.

The walls of the Firearms Workshop were erected, followed by the door, the ceiling, and various workbenches inside.

The workbenches were Rune workbenches, and each one had an independent temporary storage space, capable of refining raw materials into the equipment components Su Lie needed through various Rune Array Formations.

These workbenches were categorized into the Firearm Component Workbench and the Gunpowder Workbench.

The Firearm Component Workbench could manufacture all firearm components, but required manually drawing the component blueprints using the power of the Runes.

This drawing was the same as drawing via a holographic screen.

The Gunpowder Workbench was used for manufacturing gunpowder.

It only required implanting enough materials into the workbench's temporary storage space and adjusting them according to a certain ratio to proceed with gunpowder manufacturing.

The workbenches did not come with recipes; the user had to manually adjust the ratios and adapt the formulas, but once completed, the process would be recorded.

The next time manufacturing was required, the previous record could be retrieved and used.

At the same time, there was also a Firearm Assembly Station, which could be used for assembling and tuning firearms, as well as conducting simulated firing.

The fourth workbench was the Ammunition Assembly Station, which could be used to set the size and caliber of the ammunition, equip the corresponding gunpowder, and then automatically assemble the rounds.

These four workbenches had a 60% chance of failure.

Seeing this, Su Lie then proceeded to Enhance the entire workshop.

Buzz!

Before long, the Strengthened workshop became a god-tier workshop; the manufacturing rate of all workbenches increased by 100 times, and the success rate also became 100%.

At this moment, the Firearms Workshop was extended and covered by the god-tier gold decorations inside the Shelter.

In the blink of an eye.

It transformed into a golden workshop of Brilliance.

Only then did Su Lie look at its panel.

[Firearms Workshop: Red God-level Quality; Capable of modifying, assembling, and manufacturing spare components for firearms.

Features: Firearm Component Workbench, Gunpowder Workbench, Firearm Assembly and Testing Station, Automatic Ammunition Assembly Station.

Special Effect - Quality Adjustment: When manufacturing any component, ammunition, or gunpowder, you can freely select the desired quality from six levels: White Normal, Green Fine, Blue Rare, Purple Epic, Gold Legendary, and red god-tier.

Special Effect - Error Correction: The Firearm Assembly and Testing Station possesses an automatic error correction function, capable of pointing out unreasonable firearm components or assembly methods and providing suggestions for modification.

Special Effect - Recipe Learning: The Firearms Workshop can manufacture firearms by learning firearm manufacturing blueprints. Once learned, the blueprint cannot be used again.

Special Effect - 100% Success Rate: The manufacturing success rate of the Firearms Workshop's workbenches is 100%, saving you 50% of your resources.

Special Effect - Hundredfold Work Efficiency: The work efficiency of the workbenches is increased by 100 times, allowing 12 manufacturing tasks to be performed simultaneously.]
