For some reason, Huai Shi always had a hundred thousand complaints about that old bastard Russell.
He really wanted to find an opportunity to stab him in the back a few times to avenge his persecution, but he couldn't beat him. Instead, he had to be ordered around by him every day, dedicating his youth to the ivory tower.
Two days ago, when he was filming the promotional video, he was dragged over to be a tool for a long time, and he didn't get a single cent.
It was as if the park's copyright was nothing!
It was simply lawless!
If it weren't for the fact that Kitten wouldn't pick up his call, Huai Shi would have directly called the legal department to come and ask for money.
Tai Yi Courtyard occupied a large area, but there weren't many buildings on the surface. Most of them were underground.
In the strange atmosphere left behind by countless alchemy experiments, there were only a few lonely small buildings. There wasn't even a blade of grass growing around them, and from time to time, black smoke would come out of the cracks in the ground.
It was impossible to imagine what this group of people was doing here.
Before they reached the door, a person with a cane came up to greet them warmly.
The white-haired old man looked a little stooped, wearing a loose Yingzhou uniform, and had been waiting for a long time.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Ping."
Huai Shi hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, we should have come earlier."
"It's nothing, it's just that this old man couldn't wait any longer. Thank you for allowing me to watch. "
The old man grinned, his wrinkled face smiling like an old chrysanthemum. "I've already heard about the craftsmen's skills from Mr. Simon. I'm really curious, really curious — —"
As he spoke, he began to laugh strangely, sending chills down their spines.
"Come, come, come, Mr. Huai Shi, your laboratory and secret instruments are all ready."
The old man walked in front with his walking stick. He led them through a series of twists and turns in the building, walking deeper and deeper into the darkness.
There was definitely something wrong with this building … …
Behind Huai Shi, Lin Shijiu's face was pale.
The space and direction inside were completely illogical, and there were also problems with the structure and layout, making people unable to figure out their own position and direction.
It was unbelievably large.
More importantly … … the dense negative Origin Substances and the aura of disaster inside.
It was like walking into some kind of hell!
There was a chill that made people shiver uncontrollably.
The little hut in the forest saw its shadow leave its body and wriggle on the wall. When it sensed his gaze, its head twisted into an unbelievable angle.
She turned back and smiled at him.
His expression twitched as he hurriedly followed behind Huai Shi, not leaving her by a single step.
He was just short of pretending to be young and holding her hand.
Huai Shi heaved a long sigh of relief. He turned around and asked, "You turned on the air conditioner so early?"
"Ah … Yes, that's right."
The manager of the workshop nodded in agreement and patted his back. "Aiya, I'm old and I'm afraid of the heat. I hope Mr. Huai doesn't mind."
"It's fine, it's fine. I'm pretty cool too."
Huai Shi nodded in agreement and walked into the flashing elevator.
Just as everyone went up, the lights above their heads suddenly dimmed and went out completely. In the brief darkness, Lin Shijiu felt something brush past his face. It was so cold and so soft.
He froze on the spot.
Then, she heard a hoarse cough.
It was low and sharp, tearing through the darkness and bringing light back.
"Sorry, the voice-controlled lights installed a few years ago are broken again."
The old man squinted his eyes and waved his hand awkwardly. After pressing the elevator's meter twice, the elevator slowly closed and finally began to descend.
Lin Shijiu subconsciously moved closer to Huai Shi again, almost hugging his legs.
On the inner wall of the elevator next to him, the mold-like stains and spots began to wriggle faintly and slowly spread, forming a rapidly protruding face …
Then, a hand came over with a detergent and sprayed it twice.
It disappeared.
"Sorry, it seems that the cleaners didn't clean up today … It's rare to have visitors here, so everyone is a little casual. I didn't expect them to slack off to this extent. I'll take good care of it later. It's really outrageous."
As he spoke, Ping Du stuffed the spray bottle filled with highly concentrated holy water back into his sleeve and grinned at the guests. "Everyone, please bear with us. After all, this is the only century-old building on campus. Keke, it's been in disrepair for a long time, in disrepair …"
"…"
Lin Shijiu wisely kept quiet.
He was afraid that he would be eaten by this old ghost.
Who knew what this old ghost was doing on a daily basis. He was surrounded by all kinds of curses and disasters. Even a single age spot on his face could poison an entire school to death.
Moreover, in this damned place like the Ivory Tower, even if a school building was not renovated for two years, there would be eighteen ghost stories. To be able to treat this building as a century-old building … it was probably a collection of ghost kings!
As a normal person, he really couldn't compare to his teacher's level of thick nerves.
Moreover, he was scared to death of ghosts.
At this moment, he simply wanted to cry but had no tears.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have come.
Fortunately, the laboratory was still clean and tidy, maintaining an absolutely stable environment required by the alchemy artefact. Even the depth of the interior could be adjusted.
"Using the latest technology, it can support up to level 17 artificial depth. There's no need to worry about the harsh environment required by some artefacts."
Inside the huge laboratory, Ping Du raised his hand and caused the floor to slowly unfold, revealing the huge platform hidden below.
After the preparation work was done, he stood to the side with a smile, as if he was invisible. He didn't rush Huai Shi, but just stared with anticipation at the way he set up the artefact, clicking his tongue in wonder.
The setting up of the artefact was quite complicated.
After all, the skills of the forgers were different from alchemy. It was very troublesome to combine them together without any deviation.
Huai Shi took the blueprint that he got from the Great Grandmaster for free and operated step by step. There were even several mistakes in the process. If it wasn't for Ping Du's reminder, he wouldn't have noticed.
In the middle, he also received an email from the old professor of the Russian Federation, Anton.
— The Ivory Tower's research on the Mechanical Crow.
To simply refine the core idea, it was four words, "Can't help."
This was really not within the scope of Anton's field of expertise.
Even if it was in the field of machinery and transmission.
Professor Anton was even able to perfectly restore their structure without dismantling them, but it was useless.
Just like a life form that evolved purely from machinery, all the operations in these Crow's body were purely maintained by their own source substance and the miracle left behind by the forgers.
It was very easy to strengthen them. A lot of external equipment could be stuffed in at any time, but the problem was that this didn't help them at all.
It didn't make sense that by changing the graphics card and CPU, your XP system would become XP 10 …
Although the forgers' inheritance was the same as alchemy in terms of performance and effect, it was fundamentally two different ideas. No one knew what the consequences of random experimentation would be.
Alchemists had a lot of bold ideas, but Huai Shi didn't dare to try any of them.
These were all his treasures. Occasionally, two or three of them would disappear because they couldn't be seen, and Huai Shi's heart would ache to death. But despite his heartache, Huai Shi still firmly prohibited the spread of the small books.
Otherwise, what would happen if word got out?
It would ruin his image.
In short, according to the results of the Ivory Tower's research, the crows were healthy. They didn't suffer from heatstroke, nor did they break their legs or other accidents. The results of this upgrade were very good.
With the help of the Sunmaker, they were uniformly given a perfect foundation template.
It was like completing a profession change after leaving the novice village.
They could freely change between source substance and mechanization.
They obtained a high affinity for metal, which made it easier for Huai Shi's Confining Hand to operate further. At the same time, they were also given a terrifying resistance to hell. They could move as usual even in an abnormal area nineteen meters deep.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
This was just a foundation. Huai Shi had to deal with the rest by himself.
Therefore, after some research, the big bosses came to the conclusion that it wasn't difficult, but it wasn't easy either.
Not difficult meant that it wasn't difficult at all for the big bosses.
But for Huai Shi …
Sorry, this operation is too smooth. I'm afraid you won't be able to learn it.
Therefore, in the end, there were only two possible ways to implement it.
One was to leave it to the heavens to see if the Crows could rely on their own efforts to make Huai Shi's Destiny grow by repeating the Holy Scriptures every day, which in turn would help them improve.
Perhaps they would even be able to give him a birthday celebration.
The other was for Huai Shi to work hard and research the techniques left behind by the Sunmaker to see if he could create a miracle.
This could be considered a test left behind by the Sunmaker.
The principle of 1 + 1 = 2 had already been taught to him. How to prove that 1 + 1 = 2 was up to him.
He even considerately left behind some materials and tools for Huai Shi.
With a clang, the entire workshop was enveloped in a gloomy fog.
The Crows worked together to pull out the iron ingot that had been stuffed into the Cage of Dreams.
For Origin Substance lifeforms like them, the despair contained within was too heavy. It took a few hundred Crows a long time to pull it out.
If they had been a few days later, this thing would have taken root inside.
There was nothing they could do. If they hadn't done this, they wouldn't have been able to pass through the border customs.
This thing looked like an iron ingot, but it was actually an amalgamation of negative Origin Substances.
It was too pure and dense of despair. A curse born from despair and condensed from this curse was something that had undergone at least three transformations of Origin Substances. Once it was released, it was enough to cause an entire border to sink by a whole level.
Even if it was an Origin Substance, it wasn't something that Huai Shi's soul could absorb.
It needed to be further refined.
Huai Shi was very excited to see what kind of weapon such a rich supply of negative Origin Substance and pure despair could create.
When Huai Shi raised his right hand, his steel-like limbs began to slowly unfurl.
The furnace slumbering within began to light up.
It was time to forge!
