Practicing Trade Skills was a very boring task. It took about three or four Goblin Mining Helmets for Lu Li to gain one Trade Skill EXP. It took him more than three hours to reach the Advanced level of the six skills.
Advanced level was 180. At this level, the Goblin Mining Helmet wouldn't be able to handle it. He needed to change to a higher level item.
Lu Li threw more than 20 finished helmets into the warehouse and marked each one with a price of 1 point. Guild members only needed 1 point to claim the helmet, which was considered a benefit to everyone.
Although the Goblin Mining Helmet wasn't very valuable, it could still be sold for a few dozen gold coins.
There were many higher level Engineering recipes in the guild warehouse. Lu Li needed to choose from them. It didn't matter if the product was good or bad; the key was to have the appropriate materials.
The results were disappointing.
Engineering was one of the most difficult Trade Skills. There were many reasons for this. One of them was that it was too dangerous and could easily kill oneself. Another was that there were too many things involved. To make a Goblin Mining Helmet, Lu Li had to smelt ore, which was within the scope of Forging. He also had to sew leather, which was within the scope of Tailoring. What was even more disgusting was that as a Thief, he had to learn how to engrave Engineering Circles. This was something that only Inscribers were good at …
Finally, there were recipes and materials.
Ruling Sword had more than 400 Forging recipes and 700 Tailoring recipes in the guild warehouse. However, there were only 33 Engineering recipes. This was a completely hopeless gap.
Moreover, at least 80% of these 33 recipes weren't suitable for Lu Li's current level of Engineering. The remaining 20% was also a problem with the materials.
Engineering recipes required a variety of materials and often required accompanying materials. These so-called accompanying materials were things that could be harvested when mining or gathering herbs. Mining usually involved gems, while gathering herbs involved parasitic fungi.
For example, the Hunting Rifle recipe that Lu Li had required a Red Peacock Stone. Wasn't this a scam? With a Red Peacock Stone, it could be sold for platinum in the Exchange Hall. Who would be stupid enough to make a Hunting Rifle?
The only recipe that had the required materials and was suitable for Lu Li required Engineering 190. This meant that Lu Li had to increase his level by another 10.
The Gnome Mining Helmet was unable to complete this mission.
He thought about it for a moment and dismissed the idea of going to the Exchange Hall. He could imagine how poor the pages of engineering formulas in the Exchange Hall were. He might as well try his luck with Shen Wansan.
"Engineering Recipe …" Shen Wansan was surprised. "You're not planning to upgrade your Engineering Skill, are you?"
"Yeah, do you have two recipes? We can discuss the money." The gold coins in Lu Li's backpack were almost depleted after spending on upgrading the workshop and storage. However, he and Shen Wansan were old acquaintances, so he could owe Shen Wansan no matter how much it was.
"It's not about the money. Why do you have to study engineering? I'm afraid it's the most hopeless career," Shen Wansan advised.
"Old Shen, do you think the game would design a completely useless Life Skill?" Lu Li did not explain. Instead, he asked, "Especially when this Life Skill is so difficult."
"Uh, but at the moment, engineering is the least profitable," Shen Wansan could not refute, but he insisted on his point of view.
"I don't think you'll say this in a few months. If you have any Engineering Recipes, send them to me. It's not like you can sell them anyway," Lu Li did not plan to explain too much. He would not tell others how promising Engineering was in the future.
By the time everyone realized the importance of Engineering, he would probably be a Master Engineer.
Alchemy was not compulsory because Lu Li had countless Alchemists under him, including Sesame Tangyuan. He did not have to rush to learn Forging either. He had a forging hammer, so his success rate was higher.
Engineering was the only thing that Lu Li valued the most. This was because many Engineering items could not be traded in the future.
He could only use the items he made himself.
"I have seven Engineering Recipes here. See if you can use any of them. Forget about the money. No one would want it anyway." Shen Wansan and Lu Li had a good relationship, but he was not arrogant enough to plan for Lu Li's life. He tried to persuade Lu Li, but he gave up when he saw that Lu Li was unmoved.
Lu Li looked at the recipes and chose two.
Gnomish Cloaking Device. The user could use this to gain a temporary invisibility for 30 seconds. The cooldown was 60 minutes. It could only be used when not in combat.
It was useful, but 30 seconds was too short, and it could not be used during combat.
It was useless, but many people were used to carrying one on them. Who knew when it could save them from death. The most important thing was that this recipe required Engineering Level 180, which was the most suitable for Lu Li at the moment.
The only downside was that the main material of this thing was Mithril.
At the moment, Mithril was the most precious ore that players could find. It was not hard to imagine that using this recipe to level up would cost a lot of gold coins.
The other recipe was the Self-Destructing Sheep.
The Self-Destructing Sheep was more practical than the Gnomish Cloaking Device. It had the same effect as the Ivy Bomb. Players could command this mechanical sheep to rush into a group of monsters and self-destruct. However, it required more materials than the Ivy Bomb, and there were still some rich players who used it to level up.
The Self-Destructing Sheep required Engineering Level 190, which was right after the Gnomish Cloaking Device.
The other recipes were either lower than 180, or the materials were hard to find. Lu Li gave up on them and only chose these two. He asked Shen Wansan to mail them over and quickly received them.
The main materials to make the Gnomish Cloaking Device were Mithril, followed by Jade, Lesser Moonstone, Topaz, and fuse.
The production process was divided into two parts. First, use Mithril and Lesser Moonstone to make a 'Clockwork Synchronous Coordination Gyroscope'. Then, add materials to the Clockwork Synchronous Coordination Gyroscope to make the Gnomish Cloaking Device.
Lu Li divided a piece of Mithril that was more than 80% Purity into one large and four small parts. He then took the large piece of metal and smelted it.
The smelting here was not to melt it into a liquid, but to soften the surface so that it could be engraved with an Engineering Circle. This was the main part of the Gnomish Cloaking Device, and it was the key to success.
After engraving the Engineering Circle, Lu Li also engraved the four small parts according to the requirements.
After the parts were made, the next step was to assemble it.
