Chapter 37: The Big Support of the Future
The technology of the Blue Star world originated from the technology knowledge of the gnomes, goblins, dwarves, and mechanical four races brought over by the Onmyoji traitors from the Great Qin Realm of the Upper Realm. Firearms are still very underdeveloped, after all, with such powerful magical spells and skills, how many people would specifically research gunpowder firearms?
Therefore, most of today’s firearms use the spiritual energy of professional users as bullets for attack, and only a very few make some special attribute bullets for dealing with bosses.
This firearm, which has been manufactured, has reached the limit of LV1 green equipment in terms of attack, and the addition of 1 point of spiritual power is also very practical, making it a weapon with a high cost-performance ratio. What is precious is that there are no professional restrictions, which is a surprise for civilian professionals.
“Alright, indeed that’s not small, so Yurou, do you intend to resign yourself to your fate and become a mechanic who makes firearms in the future?”
Glancing at the prominent bosom, Zi Liyuan nodded to himself, at least an E+ size, indeed not small at all.
It’s just unknown what she has been eating to have grown so much; he didn’t remember her being this spectacular back in senior year two.
“Who says that? Can mechanics not become combat professionals? Must they become life professionals?”
Staring with indignant eyes, but with an undertone of loss at the bottom of her eyes which she could hardly disguise.
For an orphan, who had endured society’s harshness from a young age, her mental maturity was much more advanced than her peers.
Moreover, Shen Yurou was also a super academic achiever, although she was always the perpetual second-place, but that was only because Zi Liyuan, who was above her, was exceedingly extraordinary!
Regarding Zi Liyuan, Shen Yurou was envious and jealous; envious of his high IQ, being able to steadily outperform her in whatever he studied, and jealous that he awoke and transitioned into a hidden profession, while she remained as a life professional.
In the future, perhaps the gap between them would grow wider, with him soaring to the skies like an eagle, while she might lead an unremarkable life, becoming an ordinary civilian compelled by daily life to labor.
Unwilling!
Since leaving the orphanage, Shen Yurou had always been determined, but it was because of her awakened profession that she had become a life professional.
She too wanted to fight, to go to the Sea of Realms, to become a Lord, to… Thus, she spent all her scholarship money, which she saved up from her studies, to learn firearm knowledge. Using her awakened talent, she poured all her savings into it and finally produced this firearm weapon.
It was a good start, a hopeful start, and perhaps becoming a powerful mechanic was another path forward.
Though the path is narrow, it may well lead to success!
“Yurou, if I may ask indiscreetly, could you tell me how you learned the blueprint for the ‘Iron Firearm Type-One (Green),’ and how you made it?” Life professionals can gain experience points by crafting items, allowing them to level up, but the experience granted by the items they make is very sparse, hence their leveling is extremely slow.
And life professionals who have just awakened can only learn white, common quality blueprints, and only when they reach Level 10 do they unlock these restrictions.
At that time, as long as one meets the requirements to learn the blueprint, even if it is a silver, heroic-quality blueprint, one can learn it directly. As for whether one can make it, that’s another story, since theoretical knowledge is easy to acquire, but practical ability varies from person to person.
Zi Liyuan had just investigated Shen Yurou’s basic information; she’s currently Level 2, not even qualified to learn green elite-quality blueprints.
Yet this ‘Iron Firearm Type-One (Green)’ was indeed made by her, which is quite unreasonable.
Zi Liyuan now had a feeling as if he were a high school teacher with knowledge that is all over the place.
“This has to do with the talent I awakened with. Given time, I can analyze some mechanical items and reverse-engineer their blueprints to learn them, but for now, I can’t produce ‘Scroll Blueprints’ that life professionals can learn from.” This ‘Iron Firearm Type-One (Green)’ is a top-tier green equipment among Level 1 items. If she could draw ‘Scroll Blueprints’ that life professionals could learn, Shen Yurou wouldn’t have to worry about money right now.
Shen Yurou’s words left Zi Liyuan dumbfounded.
Reverse engineering mechanical blueprints, this talent is absolutely powerful! Not to mention the Dwarf’s rifle series, the Gnome’s mechanical armor series, the Goblin’s demonic mecha series, and the Mechanical Race’s mechanical life series, if Shen Yurou could reverse engineer the blueprints for these, it’s unthinkable what terrifying things she could create.
A sniper rifle?
An RPG?
A Patriot Missile?
A Peacemaker?
A planet-destroying weapon?
Or even those high-tech armors from past-life movies, like Iron Man’s Mark series? Or a Mecha Zaku?
More outrageously, those spaceships capable of voyaging through space? Thinking about these, Zi Liyuan’s gaze towards Shen Yurou almost shot out sunlight, burning through her already tattered clothes!
Damn it, if cultivated well, this girl could definitely become a super-powerful figure in the future!
Zi Liyuan glanced up and down at Shen Yurou, who was tall and curvy, with dangerous assets and, though her face was smeared with grease and looked quite embarrassed, it could not hide her top-class beauty.
To his astonishment, Zi Liyuan realized that this girl had unknowingly undergone a great transformation and had become a top beauty, perfectly matching the image of a girlfriend in his mind…
“Yurou, aside from this gun, have you reverse engineered any other combat- related blueprints?”
“There’s also a white-quality short gun, but it only adds 1 point of physical damage, so I didn’t make it.”
Whatever Zi Liyuan asked, Shen Yurou answered without reservation, as if she wasn’t at all worried that he might have any ill intentions.
“Have you reverse-engineered any other mechanical-related items?” “Do household mechanical items count? I’ve pretty much reverse engineered the blueprints for all the mechanical items at home.”
Shen Yurou spoke with a slight hesitation.
“Are there any limitations to your reverse engineering of blueprints?”
“Yes, every reverse engineering process consumes Spiritual Energy, and it cannot be interrupted; otherwise, all efforts would be wasted.”
Upon her job awakening, Shen Yurou, based on her talents and skills, furnished herself with three pieces of green equipment, all adding 1 point of Spiritual Power, plus the “Great Xia Empire’s 9th Set of Broadcast Exercises (White)” Level 3, which added 3 points to all attributes.
With her current Level 2 base attributes, her Spiritual Power reached 8 points, and she had 800 Spiritual Energy.
Initially, reverse engineering the blueprint for “Iron-Quality Regimental Gun – Type One (Green)” depleted a full 750 points of Spiritual Energy to succeed. “Can you analyze rare blue-quality mechanical equipment blueprints now?” As Zi Liyuan inquired, he thought of the Level 1 blue set he had bought with money.
If he gave it to Shen Yurou, it would add another 3 points to her Spiritual Power, that is, 300 Spiritual Energy points.
“I don’t know, I don’t have the money to buy rare blue items to experiment with. Zi Liyuan, do you have anything else? If not, I need to go sell this gun to recoup some funds for buying materials.”
Rolling her eyes, Shen Yurou was getting a bit impatient.
