192: Chapter 192 Materials Others Are Reluctant to Use, We'll Use Them to Our Heart's Content?

Beep!

At the entrance of the Galaxy Academy mechanical Materials warehouse.

Wang Fei handed over his galaxy badge, and a middle-aged man with a calm expression took it, originally appearing indifferent.

The next moment, he stood up abruptly.

"So you are companions of Instructor Zhang Jian. Please, go on in!"

Wang Dong and the others were a bit curious. "Do you not need to verify our identities?"

The middle-aged man squeezed out a smile and waved his hand generously.

"The [star pivot decree] issued by the Dean contains all of your names, and those of us responsible for registration and verification at the door even have your photos on file. Feel free to enter."

Wang Fei nodded at him and led everyone into the Materials warehouse.

The sheer size of the interior completely exceeded Wang Fei's imagination.

On shelves over ten meters high, piece after piece of rare Materials were displayed.

Looking at it at a glance, one couldn't even see how many shelves there were.

The others didn't know much about these things, so they just marveled at the scale of the warehouse and the abundance of Materials.

However, Ye Xun, who had once been in charge of a marketplace, was becoming increasingly alarmed.

The legendary rank Material [Lark's Tears], of which the marketplace only had two pieces, was packed by the crate here.

And... it wasn't just one crate!

The legendary rank Material [Beast King's Heart], which was considered the treasure of the Professionals Association and of which the entire Ta City only had one, was sitting right there on a shelf in a transparent glass container.

Just looking around casually, there were at least dozens of them.

Materials that were extremely rare and precious in the outside world were like Chinese cabbage here, piled up everywhere.

After walking out of a large area, Ye Xun turned back to see the name of the section he had just passed: [Elementary Materials Zone].

He was secretly shocked.

A reserve of this level was only Elementary Materials.

What must the ones above it be like?

Under the guidance of the staff, and passing by the envious gazes of a few scattered Professionals, he passed through the [Intermediate Materials Zone] again.

He had never seen many of the Materials in here.

It was only by looking at the names on the shelves that he could recall from memory that they seemed to be the core Materials for refining some kind of epic-grade item.

He lowered his head, not daring to look anymore.

Every item in this zone was something he hadn't even dared to imagine before.

Yet here, they were displayed by the tens and hundreds.

He was afraid that if he kept looking, he wouldn't be able to resist the urge to take something.

Even after walking through this entire area, Zhang Jian was still nowhere to be seen.

The staff member's footsteps, however, stopped.

"Distinguished guests, I do not have authorization to enter the next area. Please contact Instructor Zhang Jian to come and meet you."

Wang Fei quickly sent a message to Zhang Jian.

A few minutes later, Zhang Jian hurried over.

His eyes were still a bit weary, and his figure was slightly swaying, clearly exhausted.

Seeing the large group of people, Zhang Jian nodded.

"Come in quickly."

Under the respectful gaze of the staff member, Wang Fei and the others entered the area.

Above the closed door, there was a conspicuous, unremarkable sign: [Advanced Materials Zone] (Staff Prohibited).

...

The area where Zhang Jian was located was not very large.

It was a separate section partitioned off, surrounded by dozens of shelves.

In the center was a circular forging furnace.

Its appearance was somewhat similar to the furnace at the [Protect the Abandoned Factory].

However, the powerful energy output marked on it, the dozens of control buttons, and the countless dense material inlets all testified to the extraordinary nature of this furnace.

"Brother Jian, this treatment of yours is really nice." Wang Fei couldn't help but exclaim.

Wei Donglai and Yan Han also nodded in agreement.

Instructor Wang Weidong and Ming Li were already staring blankly, looking at everything new and novel.

Only Ye Tianchen's gaze was one of shock.

Good heavens!

Although his own Family couldn't be considered a top-tier powerhouse, they were still a major Family that counted for something in Huaxia.

He once had the good fortune to accompany his grandfather, who was a level 95 third job change, into the Family's core warehouse.

Compared to the scene before him, it didn't seem much better.

You have to know, his Family's core warehouse only allowed individuals of the third job change Saint rank, with the unanimous consent of the Family Elder Council and after making significant contributions, to have a chance to enter.

The important Materials inside were only used when refining important weapons or equipment that could affect the Family's reputation.

Those who could use the Family's exclusive forging furnace were all famous Great Masters in the forging world.

They were only barely invited by the Ye Family after spending a huge sum of money and cashing in the Clan Chief's favors.

But here at Zhang Jian's place, rare Materials were scattered on the floor, and Zhang Jian could use them at will.

The furnace was rumbling, with absolutely no one supervising it.

This place was clearly Zhang Jian's own private territory!

Xiao Yun's eyes were filled with awe as he quickly scanned the surroundings.

Although he was a junior at Galaxy Academy, this was his first time here.

Even his instructor, Hai Mengen, had probably never been here.

He didn't expect that just by being Zhang Jian's teammate and companion, he would actually have such an honor.

Seeing so many epic-grade Materials he had only heard the names of but never seen in person, and the forging furnace that looked so awesome.

Just as everyone was shocked and marveling at the special privileges Zhang Jian possessed, Zhang Jian suddenly pulled Wang Fei over.

"You've come at the right time."

"I happen to be short-handed here with the forging. You all join in and help me share the load."

Wang Fei looked stunned, pointing at himself.

"I help you share the load?"

Ye Tianchen also opened his mouth wide, saying incredulously, "The Materials here are at least legendary rank, and nearly more than half are epic-grade. Are you sure you can trust us to operate them?"

Zhang Jian looked at him with a strange expression.

"You are all teammates I have lived and died with; why wouldn't I trust you?"

"Besides," he patted Wang Fei on the shoulder, comforting him, "There are plenty of Materials here. Feel free to use them. Even if you waste some, I can just have someone send more over."

The group, whether confused, trembling with fear, or excited in their hearts, were arranged by Zhang Jian at various positions of the furnace.

Some were responsible for starting it, some for refining a certain Material, and some for finding the specifications Zhang Jian needed from the initially processed Materials.

Everyone got busy.

At the beginning, they were naturally flustered, and errors occurred frequently.

Although everyone was very serious, facing such rare Materials and a forging furnace that looked high-end, they couldn't help but feel nervous.

Until the second and third time, everyone's errors became fewer and fewer.

Their mental states also became calmer, and their hand movements became more and more stable.

The group's coordination also became more and more stable.

For Zhang Jian, the first few times might have required him to patiently guide them, or even comfort teammates who failed.

But as piece after piece of Material was successfully or unsuccessfully processed and refined, the group stopped dwelling on the value of these things and focused their attention on what they were supposed to do.

The aspects Zhang Jian needed to worry about became fewer and fewer.

The success rate of the refining increased, and the speed of refining became faster and faster.

Until the sixth refining process, which they worked on together, was completed.

Zhang Jian looked at the final product and revealed a hearty smile.

He quickly called everyone over.

"Come quickly and look at the result we created by working together!"

At this moment, the Reception Envoy happened to return from the training camp, and having nothing to do, came over to check on Zhang Jian's progress.

Seeing that the refining had just been completed, he also curiously crowded over.
