"Thank you, Sir Skye, for your help. The reason why I made this somewhat excessive request is that I have some understanding of the production process when I was watching the master's production process just now. I want to watch it again. After watching it, I still want to show my incompetence and try to make it. Please don't hesitate to correct me, master."
Tata showed an indifferent expression. Aguile's teacher should be a master of both weapons and accessories, but leather was a completely different category. If he could understand it just by watching from the side, wouldn't everyone in the Demon Realm be a master?
On the other hand, Skye had some doubts in his heart. Although he didn't believe that "Aguile" could master the production process with just a few glances, judging from "Aguile"'s past behavior, he shouldn't be a boastful person. A mechanic's production sense was very important. Now that Skye's magic had recovered, the hydra skin and other materials were complete, he wanted to take this opportunity to restore his old feeling. At the request of Chen Rui, he immediately explained some details of the previous leather armor and began to make it again.
This time, it was a woman's leather armor. This time, the enchantment method was changed to inlay. Materials with magic attributes were inlaid in the corresponding parts, and it was supplemented with magic circles to achieve the perfect effect of magic attribute fusion.
Tata took the leather armor and showed undisguised appreciation. He took out a magnifying glass, looked at it for a while, and said the appraisal results: Tenacity (increase magic and physical resistance – hydra skin's own attributes), increase water magic power by 27%, increase physical strength by 28%.
The highest bonus of ordinary equipment was 15%, and the highest enchantment attribute was 2. Due to the problem of mastering the materials, there might also be negative attributes, such as reducing speed when increasing defense; the highest bonus of excellent grade was 30%. Generally, there were no negative attributes, and the enchantment attribute could reach 2 to 3; the highest bonus of legendary grade could reach 50%, and the enchantment attribute could reach 3 to 4. As for epic grade equipment, it was already an artifact, so it couldn't simply be measured by these attribute requirements.
Skye's two enchantment attributes were more than 25%, which was quite excellent even among master-grade works.
The previous leather armor with speed enhancement was very suitable for Lomont's characteristics, and this one with water magic enhancement and increased physical strength could be used by Delia. As for Athena, she would use the best equipment in the poison dragon's treasure for now. As for the future, Chen Rui wanted to make a set for her himself. Of course, it must at least reach or exceed excellent grade.
Now that there was a mechanic master who specialized in leather here, it was just the right time to "show off in front of an expert" to get some advice.
Chen Rui asked Skye a few questions, and Skye was slightly surprised. These questions were all on the point. Even some mechanics who had been immersed in mechanics for many years might not have thought of it, yet this rookie who should be an armor crafting novice could raise them.
After getting Skye's answer, Chen Rui's understanding in his heart deepened. He chose the Demon King-level hydra's skin. Since Skye had already completed the leather making process, it saved a lot of trouble. When Skye saw "Aguile" using a precious material like hydra's skin on his first attempt, he was about to persuade him. However, on second thought, this material was originally "Aguile's" own, so he should just let him be.
Then, when Chen Rui officially started, Skye and Xingxing were both taken aback. The previously rusty technique was being mastered at an amazing speed. Not only the technique, but also the rapid progress of various aspects of understanding. It was as if a rookie was transforming into an official mechanic. No! Not only a mechanic, but he also faintly felt like a master!
Especially in Skye's eyes, every mechanic master had his own characteristics. The details and some characteristics of Chen Rui's technique were unique to him, as if he was a direct disciple who had been learning under him for many years!
It wasn't just the beginning. Every subsequent process was in place. Not only was there no omission, but it was also becoming more rigorous and sophisticated. As the leather armor was formed, Skye and Xingxing looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.
A piece of leather armor could advance from a rookie to an official mechanic who was proficient in leather. It was even not far from the level of a general master! This kind of understanding, this kind of learning ability, can only be described as a genius … No, a monster!
In the final enchantment, Chen Rui still had a small problem. Since the understanding of the material couldn't be fully mastered in a short period of time, and although he had a strong spirit power, he actually knew nothing about magic (earth magic originated from the Star Garden's Earth Elemental Heart), so the effect of enchantment wasn't very good. After being identified by the two masters, in addition to the hydra's own "toughness" characteristic, the attributes of the leather armor were: increase the original defense base by 10%, increase the attack by 8%.
Chen Rui said with some embarrassment, "It's my first time learning to make leather armor. There are still many places to improve. I'm sorry for making the two masters laugh."
Xingxing pointed at Chen Rui. He was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while. Although he learned [Accessory Mastery], he was proficient in appraisal. This leather armor was definitely a high-level equipment. It was equivalent to a high-level mechanic. This damn guy, could he be a senior armorist pretending to be a rookie to deliberately slap these masters' faces!?
"If I didn't see your rusty technique at the beginning, I would think you're a veteran." Skye smiled bitterly. "If the final enchantment is more perfect, this leather armor can reach the level of a junior master. If this matter is spread out, it will cause a sensation in the entire mechanic world. However, probably no one will believe it. "
"I don't believe it! He must have used some tricks! " Xingxing still shook his head in disbelief. He suddenly thought of something, "You … just you wait!"
As he said, the dark goblin master took out a table from the space ring, followed by a stool, something like a magnifying glass, a microscope, and a cutter. Chen Rui's eyes lit up. He had already vaguely thought of what Xingxing was going to do.
However, since the Evil Blue Tear was given to Lomont, Chen Rui could only use [Deep Analysis] twice a day at most. It had been used up now, but the current opportunity was really rare. He couldn't miss it. His mind turned and he found an excuse to go to the toilet. He left the Cloak Gang as quickly as possible and rushed to the arena. He asked for the Evil Blue Tear and drank the spring water of vitality and spirit recovery potion on the way.
Although the speed of a Demon King was extremely fast, when Chen Rui appeared in the backyard of the Cloak Gang, Master Xingxing, who had been waiting for a long time, still showed an impatient expression. With the Evil Blue Tear in hand, Chen Rui became a lot more confident. He carefully asked about the names and uses of the instruments on the table one by one.
Although Xingxing was very impatient, he still answered one by one. Just like how a master of metal proficiency was familiar with the hammer in his hand, a master of jewelry proficiency must be familiar with every tool he used, just like the organs in his body.
Chen Rui listened and remembered attentively. Although Xingxing couldn't see his face clearly, he could feel this serious attitude. His face became much better. After the explanation, Xingxing began to make jewelry.
The production of products was different from the production of leather armor. Due to the problem of volume and material, the required skills were more refined and the use of tools was more complicated. After Xingxing's confident demonstration, Chen Rui also raised some questions. After another hour or so, when Chen Rui handed the magic ring he made to Xingxing for correction, the dumbfounded Master Xingxing was speechless. Monster, he really is a monster through and through!
The current Chen Rui not only mastered the forging skills of metal weapons, but he also learned the production of leather armor and ring. Even if he was still a distance away from the real master-level, he could be considered a trio-specialized genius mechanic.
Of course, Chen Rui knew in his heart that although [Deep Analysis] was great, it was only a passive understanding of imitation after all. Besides, these skills were just superficial. Take jewelry for example. In addition to rings, there were also headwear, earrings, bracelets, etc. Leather wasn't only limited to leather armor. Cloaks, belts, helmets, boots, and wristguards all belonged to the leather category. Now that there were two top masters, he must seize the opportunity to learn more in the future. He must use [Deep Analysis] and his own understanding to completely master these skills. Although no one could be sure about the future, it was definitely not wrong to have more skills.
"I've always been arrogant about my own qualifications. I didn't expect there to be a genius like you!" Skye said emotionally, "Your teacher must be an amazing top master, far above me. He is probably infinitely close to that peak."
This time, the dark goblin master didn't object. He also nodded with a little sigh.
Chen Rui didn't expect his ungodly performance to hit the two so hard. He had the intention to further build a good relationship with the two masters for future learning. After careful consideration in his heart, he said, "My teacher once told a story. I don't know if it will be helpful to the two masters."
When the two heard that it was a story told by a quasi-grand master, they immediately showed interest. The story that Chen Rui told in the name of his "teacher" was "Butcher Ding Dismembering the Cow" in "Zhuangzi – Yangzhu".
When Butcher Ding first slaughtered the cow, there was only the cow in his eyes; after three years, what he saw was not the whole cow. Then, he "met the cow with his spirit instead of seeing it with his eyes. He knew when to stop and when his spirit wanted to move." He had reached the state where he could feel the internal flesh and bones and cut the cow with his spirit.
Pao Ding, who had reached the final realm, could be said to be skillful and at ease. 'Dismembering an ox' had already become a kind of art. As the saying goes, 'Wherever the hand touches, the shoulder rests, the foot steps, the knee rests, the rearing of the ox, the playing of the knife, there is no sound that does not hit the mark'.
If mechanics were regarded as a kind of "Tao", then the three states of Butcher Ding, which were highly respected by scholars in another world, should be able to give the two masters a little inspiration. It was just like there were three states in Zen: first, seeing a mountain as a mountain; second, seeing a mountain as a mountain; third, seeing a mountain as a mountain. Regardless of whether the plane was the same or not, in a sense, "Tao" was interconnected and constant.
After listening to the story, Skye fell into contemplation. His face changed between joy and worry. He stood up abruptly and began to operate on the hydra's skin. Although he could no longer use [Deep Analysis], the previously analyzed information had been completely imprinted in his mind. Chen Rui could see that Skye's mental appearance seemed to have some strange changes, but his technique slowed down and seemed to be heavier.
A set of armor was quickly formed as if the hydra's skin was born with a set of armor. Skye just "lifted" it out easily, and there was already a hint of nature in it.
However, when Skye was halfway through, he stopped again and began to continue to fall into contemplation.
The dark goblin master was busy on the table. He just observed various materials and even used the instrument empty-handedly. He didn't make anything, and he kept muttering to himself.
Chen Rui originally wanted to take out materials such as moonlight stone and blood pattern silver, but now it seemed that it was not the right time. If he was right, perhaps there would be more than one master who could stay.
